Su Rong sat upright, intending to have a honest talk with Jiang Xing.
So, under Jiang Xing's bewildered gaze, she lowered her voice and asked him directly, "If you are implicated by Jiang Sheng and your entire clan is threatened with execution, would you prefer to live or die?"
Jiang Xing was taken aback, "What...what do you mean?"
"Exactly what it sounds like." Su Rong stared into his eyes. She wanted to save Jiang Xing, but arranging this meeting through Zhou Gu posed a certain risk. After all, if word leaked from Jiang Sheng's end, it would be difficult for Zhou Gu to explain himself to the Crown Prince.
Jiang Xing's face gradually paled, and he looked terrified, "Implicated...execution of the entire clan...this...this..." He was momentarily speechless, "What about my parents..."
He is the only child in his family.
