Once everyone was seated, President Xiao didn't stall and directly addressed the matter at hand, "We are holding this press conference today mainly to respond to the rumor circulating online and to provide some clarification."
"The first issue I want to touch upon—the cyber attack and the release of a fictitious scandal targeting members of the Royal Family on various websites today—we as the Royal Family will devote our full efforts to bring the mastermind behind this cyber attack to justice, without leniency."
"The second issue is the relationship between my son Xiao Chifeng and Miss Shen Qingcong. Here, I, Xiao Dingtian, on behalf of the Royal Family and our Xiao clan, formally announce that Miss Shen Qingcong is the designated Crown Princess of our Royal Family. As the Crown Princess, she has the right to enjoy the same treatment as the members of our Royal Family."
