Before his death, the eldest son revealed the existence of the child, insisting that Lord Governor must find him.
Upon receiving the news, she secretly spent a fortune hiring the most skilled assassin.
She absolutely couldn't let that woman's child return to cause her more trouble.
What she didn't expect was that the Dark Pavilion assassin would fail, nor could she accept that the child unexpectedly appeared in the mansion.
When she tried to act again, she was caught by the Governor.
There had been many things over the years that bore her mark, and the eldest son, being a clever man, had always suspected her. However, he lacked the strength or substantial evidence to expose her.
It was only on his deathbed that he told the entire story to his father, insisting that he protect the child.
Under normal circumstances, the Governor wouldn't have believed it. Even if he were suspicious, he would first investigate. But these were his son's dying words—how could he doubt them?
