Liu Hao, under Cheng Guang's gaze, inexplicably felt extremely nervous, with large beads of sweat continuously streaming down his forehead.

"Princely Heir, my third daughter Yuting had quite a lot of contact with Zhang Shunlong before, and it seems she had the intention of making a lifelong commitment. Although we in the Liu Family did not think highly of the Zhang family, we had no objections at first. However, later on… when a nobleman passed by Ping'an County, he took a fancy to Yuting..."
"Given that, how could the Zhang family be a match for our Liu Family? We planned to make Zhang Shunlong give up on that idea. Instead of giving up, he planned to elope with Yuting, which infuriated the nobleman. He remarked that Zhang Shunlong needed to be dealt with by us."
"A word from the nobleman is like a mountain pressing down on ordinary folks like us,"
"How could we dare to disobey."
