Sun Qing quickly accepted the order, "Yes."
Sun Qing’s efficiency in handling matters has always been swift. He soon presented all the information he had gathered to Jie Kong.
Jie Kong was seated in the chess room, his left hand lightly brushing his wide sleeve, with a white chess piece poised at his right fingertips, watching the board in front of him, and shortly after, he placed it down.
Black and white pieces, the outco was determined.
Seeing this, Sun Qing couldn’t help but praise, "This kind of endga can only be solved so effortlessly by our master."
Jie Kong withdrew his hand, his gaze sweeping coldly, "What have you found?"
Sun Qing presented the gathered information with both hands, saying, "Strangely enough, this Eldest Princess has always had a reputation for purity. To outsiders, regardless of gender, she never shows any emotion, including her fiancé. They also treat each other with respect and there is no overstepping at all."
"Fiancé?" Jie Kong’s calm brow finally showed so movent; he raised his eyes to look at Sun Qing, "The Young Master?"
Sun Qing nodded, "Yes, the Marquis Xuan Residence has been loyal to the Moyan Country for generations, not to ntion Marquis Xuan Yuan is a life-and-death friend of the Emperor. They have a bond forged through life-threatening situations, which led them to arrange an engagent between their children, planning for the Eldest Princess to marry once she turned twenty."
"Married at twenty?"
Sun Qing explained, "Although girls reach maturity at sixteen, the folk customs in Moyan are open-minded, and many won’s capabilities are comparable to n’s. Hence, the average marriage age for won in this country is relatively higher. While so do marry at sixteen, it’s extrely rare. Like the Eldest Princess marrying at twenty; it’s considered early. Most won marry between twenty and twenty-five."
Jie Kong had heard of this and nodded.
Sun Qing continued, "The Eldest Princess was supposed to marry Young Master Xuan Yuan at twenty, but at nineteen, she was defiled by a scoundrel."
Jie Kong looked over keenly, "Defiled by a scoundrel?"
"Yes," Sun Qing said, "The Eldest Princess has always had ambitions to serve the country and is ignorant of matters between n and won. She should never engage in an illicit affair."
Suddenly, Jie Kong recalled Mo Shu’s fondness and happiness when talking about her husband, his gaze turning sowhat cold, "Nonsense. She had deep feelings for that paramour, even using his surna for the child after its birth."
Paramour...?
Sun Qing nearly bit his tongue.
Calling them a scoundrel is one thing, but calling them a paramour is sothing entirely different!
Sun Qing imdiately spoke, "Master, where did you hear this? The Eldest Princess did not..."
"She said it herself," Jie Kong tossed the docunt on the table, his voice cold, "She told personally that the child’s father has the surna Yu."
Sun Qing’s eyebrows jumped, "Yu? Isn’t that your surna?"
"Exactly this Yu," Jie Kong laughed coldly, "Honestly, the Eldest Princess is indeed quite capable, fooling everyone with her virtuous facade."
In truth, she was rely a wild woman who could engage in illicit affairs before marriage.
Disgust flickered in Jie Kong’s eyes.
Sun Qing, however, had so doubts, saying, "Master, you contradict yourself. Back when you ca to Moyan Country for talks, you praised this Eldest Princess."
Jie Kong frowned, "Did I say that?"
Sun Qing nodded imdiately, "You did! You said the Eldest Princess had extraordinary poise. Though a woman, her noble spirit surpassed many n. You even toasted her with a drink. Have you...forgotten?"
