Su Ming Xu's POV
Governor Tang Xu Ning was the witness that falsely testified against my late uncle because of envy. He can't accept that my late uncle was being promoted faster than he was.
But most of all, he can't accept the fact that my late aunt-in-law defied her parents and chose my uncle rather than accepting Tang Xu Ning's proposal for marriage. That time, the Su family was struggling in court, especially my dad and grandfather.
The late emperor's reign was controversial, and being one of his ministers, whether you were in the lowest rank or not, was already a dangerous game. I saw the two arrows that passed on each side of my face and headed straight to that coward governor, who suddenly ran when I got closer.
I held my sword tight and jumped high, landing a strike to his back. He swiftly turns around and uses his sword to stop me from cutting him in half.
"I'll avenge my uncle and aunt's death!" I roared.
