Chapter 63: Telling You a Secret (4)

As soon as Nangong Liuyun spoke, the crowd erupted into another uproar.

Governor Zhao's expression relaxed significantly.

However, his words were truly absolute, instantly pushing Liu Ruohua into the depths of Hell.

"Prince Jin!" Liu Ruohua cried out in desperation, tears streaming down her face. "You can't do this, you can't… I beg you to save Ruohua, I beg of you…"

Now, only Prince Jin could save her, but it was clear that His Highness was never known for leniency; instead, he was famous for being cold and ruthless.

Nangong Liuyun said, "Don't speak carelessly in the future, otherwise my future Princess Consort will be unhappy, and the consequences will be very serious."

Su Luo rolled her eyes at the sky. Would this man die if he didn't take advantage of her?

Liu Ruohua seemed to suddenly understand the key point. She abruptly fell to her knees and kowtowed vigorously toward Su Luo. "Fourth Young Miss Su, Su Luo, I was wrong to treat you that way before. I'm kowtowing to you, I beg you to save me, please."

As the dignified legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Residence, she was once above thousands; when had she ever suffered such humiliation? This was truly a case of a tiger being bullied by dogs while on level ground. Once she returned to the Imperial Capital, she would definitely not let these people off! Liu Ruohua harbored a secret grudge in her heart.

But who was Su Luo? When others were in elementary school, she was already taking lives.

What is the hardest part of someone from an assassin background? Their heart.

At this moment, Su Luo looked serene, her eyes like autumn waters with a shimmering gaze, her fluttering white dress making her look as elegant as an immortal.

She only gave a regretful smile and said nothing before being pulled away by Nangong Liuyun.

"Wait!" Seeing Su Luo about to leave, Liu Ruohua's expression stiffened, and a flash of terror crossed her heart. She suddenly shouted at Su Luo's retreating back.

Su Luo stopped her footsteps but did not turn around.

"I'll tell you a secret if you spare my life!" Liu Ruohua's tone was still haughty.

"No need," Su Luo smiled faintly and was about to step forward again.

"It's about your birth!" Liu Ruohua sneered coldly. "Don't you want to know about your own origins? Do you think General Su is really your biological father? Do you think the Su Family is really your root? Let me tell you, it's not!"

Su Luo's beautiful eyes turned cold, her pale red lips curling into a faint, mocking smile.

What she hated most in both her past and current life was being threatened.

"Thanks for the reminder, but even if you die, the Su Family Members aren't all dead yet. I'll naturally go ask them." Su Luo remained composed on the surface, but a flicker of suspicion flashed in her heart.

"Humph! Besides me, no one in this world will tell you! The Su Family—the Su Family Members don't even know!" Liu Ruohua looked absolutely certain.

Su Luo frowned slightly. She thought of the original host's experiences in the Su Residence; it was essentially a subhuman life. Su Wan was also born of a concubine and her talent was also poor, yet her treatment was the polar opposite of Su Luo's.

Could it be that there really was more to her birth than met the eye?

Nangong Liuyun walked toward Liu Ruohua step by step, his starry eyes overflowing with a treacherous, gloomy light, cold and devoid of any warmth.

"Fine." His red lips curled into a charming yet sinister and cold smile, icy and ruthless. "Now, you can speak."

No one knew what Liu Ruohua whispered in Nangong Liuyun's ear, because his expression remained indifferent and cold from beginning to end. Only Su Luo managed to catch a fleeting flash of shock in his eyes.
