"Do you know you are a spy for the Xunfeng faction? Or do you know you came to the Jiang family with memories?"

Jiang Chengbi raised her head and gave me a fierce look.

"So, you are too?" With various speculations in mind, I suddenly saw the light.

No wonder the city lord's wife took a liking to me at first sight and said she wanted me to marry into the family!

No wonder on the day the money pouch was lost, Abi looked at me with such contemplation!

No wonder when strange things happened with A Ruo, the Jiang family's attitude was so peculiar!

She was testing me, testing my sincerity!

"Then... do you still hate me?" My throat felt dry, and it took a while before I could speak.

Abi tilted her head and looked at me, "At first, I did hate you, hated that you brought trouble into the house, hated that you turned out to be a spy for Xunfeng.

"But later, you have been tirelessly working to prevent the downfall of the Jiang family, offering various suggestions to Father and Brother, even risking exposure of your spy identity to warn them of the traitor in the Jiang family.

"I just didn't know that all this time you were being controlled by Wencheng Jun with poison.

"I think, in the previous life, although I was never fully conscious, you never truly harmed me.

"At first, Father thought I had gone mad, only Mother and Brother believed me.

"Luckily, there's still time."

Abi's incoherent confession left me feeling uneasy.

But how could I forget the bloodshed, the lives lost:

"So, when Wencheng Jun appeared early for the first time, you were already preparing? When he stole someone else's invitation and appeared at the gates of Jiang City, you were already setting up for tonight?

"At the moment Jiang Chengyue fell, I thought, I thought I was going to lose you again."

My eyes blurred, and finally, a sense of relief after a disaster settled in my heart.

Abi did not deny my assumptions.

She dropped her long sword and carefully pulled up my sleeve, "When our swords combined just now, I was thinking, should I still hate you?

"But now I can tell you, I don't hate you anymore.

"Let the events of the past life dissipate with the wind, now, we have changed the fate of the Jiang family, why not live well?"

Her eyes were clear, and I saw my reflection in them.

"So... about marrying into the family, is that still on the table?" I murmured.

"It depends on your performance."

She smiled, her eyes piercing into my soul.

"Then... can I blow out the lamp?" I looked around the empty hall, pushing further.

"What? Here? Hmm..."

Outside the door, the faint sounds continued.

"What? What? Show me!"

"Shh, be quiet! Can't you hear?"

The End
