Suddenly, her hand brushed against a slightly raised tile. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that a small plum blossom was engraved on it!
"I found it!" Nangong Shuang exclaimed excitedly. She tried to push the tile, but it wouldn’t budge. She attempted to rotate it, yet still had no success.
"Could there be a mechanism?" Qiao Er suggested.
Nangong Shuang pondered for a moment and gently placed her Plum Blossom Birthmark on the engraved plum blossom. Miraculously, the tile emitted a faint "click" sound and slowly sank down, revealing a dark hole beneath.
"It actually worked!" Qiao Er gasped.
Nangong Shuang carefully lowered a candle into the hole and discovered a narrow hidden compartment containing a brocade box. She retrieved the box and placed it on the ground, cautiously opening it.
Inside the box was a small booklet and a letter. The envelope was addressed to "Nangong Shuang," with bold handwriting that unmistakably belonged to Mr. Nangong!
Nangong Shuang's hands trembled slightly as she carefully opened the envelope. The writing on the letter was still clear: "Nangong Shuang: If you are reading this letter, your father is no longer in this world. You must have many questions regarding your origins and the annihilation of the Nangong Family. This matter is of great importance, so I cannot write everything down. Please remember, you are not of the Nangong bloodline but entrusted to me by a Noble Lady. Your Plum Blossom Birthmark is proof of your Royal Bloodline.
Ten years ago, someone sought to kill you to silence you. Your father had no choice but to send you away while he stayed behind to cover your escape. If you return to Beijing seeking revenge, know that the true culprit is not those who wielded the knives on the surface but rather the hidden hands pulling the strings. They would stop at nothing for power, even resorting to murder and annihilation.
The booklet contains clues that may help you uncover the truth. But remember, you must act cautiously and trust no one. Even those who seem friendly may have ulterior motives.
Lastly, I must tell you a secret: The truth lies within Feng Yu Pavilion, but it is fraught with danger. If you wish to go there, you will need assistance. Seek out someone named 'Feng Yu'; he is an old friend of your father and can be trusted.
May you find peace and uncover the truth.
Nangong."
After reading the letter, tears streamed down Nangong Shuang's face. After so many years, seeing her father's handwriting again was an indescribable feeling. The contents of the letter were even more shocking—her father had confirmed that she was not of the Nangong bloodline but rather of royal descent!
Qiao Er also finished reading the letter and was left speechless in astonishment. She gently patted Nangong Shuang's back and comforted her, "My lady, take heart. What your father said confirms that Bai Lu Guan's Old Daoist did not speak falsely."
Wiping her tears away, Nangong Shuang opened the booklet to examine its contents. The pages were filled with dense records—relationship diagrams, dates and locations, along with seemingly unrelated phrases. Many references were made to "Feng Yu Pavilion" and "Tai Ping Ling," but there were no detailed explanations regarding these terms.
"These records are too scattered; it's hard to make sense of them all at once," Nangong Shuang said as she closed the booklet. "We should take them back for further study."
Just as she was about to put away the brocade box, they suddenly heard footsteps outside in the courtyard. Both women immediately became alert, quickly extinguishing the candle and hiding behind a nearby pillar.
The footsteps grew closer before finally stopping at the main hall entrance. After a moment, a hoarse voice called out, "Strange, I clearly saw someone come in; where did they go?"
Another voice replied, "Maybe they left? What’s so interesting about this rundown place?"
"Keep looking," insisted the first voice. "The boss said this house used to belong to the Nangong Family; there might be important items hidden here."
Hearing the words "Nangong Family," Nangong Shuang felt a chill run down her spine. These people were clearly here for secrets related to the Nangong Family!
