After enduring numerous hardships, Jiang Lian'er finally found the mysterious figure in a dilapidated mansion on the outskirts of the small town. The mansion was surrounded by overgrown weeds, its crumbling walls and rickety gate seemed ready to collapse at the slightest gust of wind.
Jiang Lian'er cautiously pushed open the gate, and a musty, decaying odor wafted from the courtyard. The mysterious figure emerged from within, his eyes filled with suspicion. He was thin and haggard, with disheveled hair falling over his shoulders, yet a glimmer of past sharpness and competence remained in his gaze.
At first, the mysterious figure regarded Jiang Lian'er warily, seeing her as a potential threat. He gripped a dagger tightly in his hand and rasped, "Who are you? How did you find this place?" Jiang Lian'er hurriedly clarified her identity and purpose. She earnestly said, "Senior, I am the daughter of the Jiang family. Our family is currently facing grave crises. I have uncovered some clues related to events from twenty years ago and have followed them here in search of the truth. I understand you may have doubts about me, but I swear on my life that I mean no harm; I only wish to unravel the mystery of that year and restore my family's honor."
Listening to Jiang Lian'er’s words, a complex emotion flickered in the mysterious figure's eyes. After a long silence, he finally relented and revealed the truth from twenty years ago.
It turned out that Jiang Lian'er’s father had lost himself in the pursuit of personal gain under the temptation of power. He colluded with an organization that intended to stage a rebellion. They planned to assassinate the emperor during one of his outings, hoping to incite chaos in the court for their own profit. Jiang Lian'er’s father was responsible for providing crucial intelligence and inside help, assisting the assassins in planning their routes and concealing their identities.
"It was a meticulously planned conspiracy. We thought everything was foolproof, but for some reason, the plan was not fully executed. Perhaps someone leaked information at a critical moment, or maybe the royal family sensed something and heightened their defenses. In any case, the assassination failed, but it left behind some traces," the mysterious figure recalled with a hint of regret on his face.
The mysterious letter was left by those involved in the conspiracy as a means to blackmail Jiang Lian'er’s father into continuing his service for the organization. However, as time passed and circumstances changed, this secret gradually faded into obscurity until Jiang Lian'er discovered that letter and unearthed this buried past.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lian'er was deeply shocked; her hands instinctively clenched tightly, her nails digging into her palms. She never imagined her father could commit such treachery and finally understood why she had been caught in this series of crises. At the same time, she realized she needed to inform Pei Yichen and the emperor about this truth as soon as possible to resolve this crisis completely and clear her family's name while paving the way for her future with Pei Yichen.
"Senior, thank you for telling me all this. I will handle this matter properly so that the truth is revealed to the world and those guilty receive their due punishment," Jiang Lian'er said firmly.
The mysterious figure looked at Jiang Lian'er and nodded slightly. "I hope you can keep your word and not repeat your father's mistakes. I am tired after all this; it is time for everything to come to an end."
After leaving the mansion, Jiang Lian'er felt restless for a long time. She gazed at the distant sky and silently vowed to ensure justice would be served, no matter how many difficulties lay ahead.
