After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

Yuan Ge was considered a distinguished guest of Sanpinju, so the tea and snacks were served very quickly.

The other party called himself Murong Yuxuan, and Yuan Ge was slightly surprised. What a coincidence, it was the same surname as her mother. Perhaps because of this, she felt a little favorable towards him and called him "Brother Murong".

He said that it was just a small favor and he could not accept the life-saving grace. He came here just to report his safety and would leave after that.

The man with deep facial features and a broadsword on his back was a little more gentle and shy than expected. His fingertips were always unconsciously grasping the brand-new scholar's robe. When he smiled, his brows were furrowed, but when he said "leave", he sighed, as if he was disappointed.

Yuan Ge asked him where he was going next.

He lowered his eyebrows and looked at the teacup in front of him. After a long while, he shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I came here to look for someone... But I asked many people, and they all said that there is no such woman here... When I saw you, the young lady, I actually mistook you for her, but then I thought about it and realized that I have been looking for her for many years, and she should have been over the age of the young lady." After that, he was speechless for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry... I told you these unpleasant things when we first met."

Yuan Ge shook his head, pondered for a moment, and asked, "How about you tell me about her? My father and husband have been officials in the court for many years, and they have some connections. Maybe they can do their best to help."

In the mist of tea, the other person's deep facial features seemed to be weakened, making him look more restrained and melancholy. He said, "She is my half-sister, her name is Murong Shaorou..."

Yuan Ge looked up suddenly, and in an instant he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. The coldness started from the back of his neck and spread to his limbs in an instant, leaving his hands and feet cold.

She had never heard of Murong Shaorou, but she had heard of a very similar name, Murong Shaoai...that was her mother's name.

The other party was completely unaware, as if she was completely immersed in the past. "When she left home, she was not even as old as you, Madam. Because she was dissatisfied with the marriage arranged for her by her family, she knocked out the maids and servants in the middle of the night, and ran away from home... There has been no news for many years. The elders in the family became sick with worry. Her mother was bedridden for many years and passed away several years ago... Before she died, she told me to find her."

Yuan Ge knew very little about the Murong family. His mother died of dystocia during childbirth and his brother was still young at that time. He only knew that it was a large and prosperous family. However, in the many years since his mother passed away, no one from his maternal grandparents had ever visited. His brother said that even during his mother's funeral, no one from his maternal grandparents was seen. It seemed that they had never cared about it.

Therefore, the word "Murong" gradually faded out of his life.

Who would have thought that in such a foreign land, it would be like a thunderbolt that suddenly hit her and caught her off guard. Her two hands clenched under the table, and she suppressed her surging emotions and asked again, "She...what's her name?"

"Murong Shaorou..." The other party just discovered her abnormality, and was startled. He asked in a surprised tone, "You, Madam, do you know her? I think Madam is somewhat similar to her. Could it be, could it be that you are her...her..."

Before his expectation was fulfilled, the other party shook his head and said, "I have never heard of Murong Shaorou, but I have heard a very similar name, Murong Shaoai... I was distracted just now and misheard it."

"Young Madam actually knows Shao Ai?" The other party was also stunned, and his sorrow became even stronger. "Young Madam actually knows Shao Ai? She is Shao Rou's twin sister, who married to Zhixuan Mountain in her early years... But, she was a beautiful woman with a tragic fate. The first lady was depressed because of this, and she became seriously ill. In addition, Shao Rou had no news for many years, and the first lady passed away a few years later."

She was depressed and seriously ill... So, was there anyone in my maternal grandparents' family who cared about my mother?

The clenched fingertips slowly loosened, and the fingertips brushed the crescent mark on the fingers. The obsession that had been hidden in her heart for many years finally dissipated. She frowned and smiled softly, explaining, "I can't say I know her. I just heard that a friend of Zhixuanshan mentioned her. He said she was a beautiful and intelligent woman."

Hearing this, Murong Yuxuan nodded with a smile, "Yes, they are two sisters from the same mother, but their personalities are very different. The elder sister is quiet and gentle, while the younger sister is like a deer in the mountains, lively and active... Sorry, I said a lot of nonsense to the young lady at that time. It was really that after being out for several years, I finally saw some clues and couldn't help it for a while."

"You're welcome." Yuan Ge subconsciously used honorifics. The man in front of him should be his uncle in terms of seniority, so calling him "big brother" was really too early.

She was still stroking her teacup and smiling bitterly, then she heard the other person sighing in a relaxed manner, "It's a coincidence. The young lady is somewhat similar to these two sisters..."

Yuan Ge paused for a moment as he stroked the teacup. He belatedly caught the message that the other party had repeatedly reiterated, "Tell me, how similar do I look to her?"

"Yes, I was also very surprised. When I first saw the young lady in the dark alley, I thought I had finally found Shao Rou. But later I came to my senses. Shao Rou had been away from home for many years. How could she still look so young..."

Yuan Ge was somewhat absent-minded in the following conversation. Fortunately, the other party was also somewhat lost in the past and missed the old people. He talked about the past by himself. Yuan Ge occasionally responded with a few words, but it didn't seem to be rude... When he came out of Sanpinju, Yuan Ge was shocked to find that his entire back was sticky - a layer of fine cold sweat had already appeared.

In the ancestral hall, the tablet of Wen Qian’s mother reads “Rou’er” without a surname.

The word "rou" is very common in female names, so when Murong Yuxuan first mentioned this name, Yuan Ge did not think of Wen Qian's mother. How could it be such a coincidence? But, what if a woman who is somewhat similar to Wen Qian also has the word "rou" in her name? Rou'er... Murong Shaorou, Murong Shaoai... sisters from the same mother.

That's why the portrait seemed oddly familiar.

What happened to this world? She was clearly dead, but she came back to life, and she lived in the body of her cousin whom she had never met. Who could believe such a thing if they hadn't experienced it themselves?

The sun was shining brightly, making people dizzy. Yuan Ge staggered on the road, unable to tell whether it was reality or a dream. She wondered if it was just a dream, and in reality she was just taking a short nap on a tree in Zhixuan Mountain. When she woke up, the sun was shining through the leaves on her face, warm and cozy. Yuan Qi stood under the tree and looked up, smiling slightly, and the years were quiet and good.
