Coercion

"I've met Jun Yexuan and I like him. If he can be my son-in-law, then Houshang and I will do everything we can to aid the royals. Isn't that right?"

"However, if Houshang cannot get what she wants… I will remain loyal to the royal family, but my child may kick up a fuss."

 "After all, Houshang is the next generation. Not only is she the best at shooting, but she's also in charge of all the weaponry in the family."

This statement from him was a threat.

Yin Lei frowned deeply. After some time, he dug his nails into his palms and made up his mind, "That's fine. But if I do deliver Yexuan to you, then what? I can only make sure his illness takes over - I cannot control his mind or memory. What if when he wakes up and still refuses to be with you?"

"That's not for you to worry about." Xia Houshang said, "As long as the water's under the bridge, it doesn't matter who he loves. Knowing that woman's personality, there would be no way she'd stay with him."
