After hearing the words of the King of Shu, Liu Xueyu and Cao Mengde sighed slightly.
Seeing her daughter and her father so disappointed in their husband, Cao Zhaoyi sighed and said, "If we don't adopt a conciliatory policy, what else can we do?"
Liu Xueyu slowly said, "Do you know how Chu Fan treats those who betrayed him?"
The King of Shu was very surprised. He couldn't figure out how Chu Fan dealt with those traitors. At the same time, he was full of doubts. When did the Wei Kingdom have traitors? The King of Shu had never received any news about the betrayal in Wei.
