Chapter 98: Admitting Defeat (Second Update)

Chu Rong was the birth name of the Nanchu King.

Governor Su deeply agreed, grumbled, "Everybody sings of his literary and martial prowess, but of what use is that? He made a mess of Nanchu's internal affairs, allowing the Nangong family to hold power and the external relatives to gain the upper hand."

Xie Yuan shook his head, "The death of the Princess had a great impact on him. Over the years, he managed to hold on and maintain stability in Nanchu. That was not an easy task."

Seeing that even he spoke so, who could be considered Su Rong's biological father, the Governor refrained from saying any harsh words. He then asked, "What did Xiaoqi say?"

"The assassins who came after her were sent by the Nanchu Queen, and I have revealed her true identity to her today." Xie Yuan replied. "She is a clever child, she has never forced us to reveal anything. I originally planned to tell her everything after her hairpinning ceremony, but I did not expect such a thing to happen today."
