"But I fought bravely on the battlefield and became an officer. I came here happily, only to have your Zhen family go back on their word and try to break off the engagement!"
"Back then, Mi'er and I exchanged tokens of our love."
"But why won't you let me marry Mi'er?"
After laughing, Liu Wei's expression turned serious, and his gaze sharpened as he looked at the Zhen family.
Madam Zhen felt somewhat ashamed.
Indeed, she had agreed without hesitation at the time, so when Liu Wei came to her door again, she thought it over and over again, gritted her teeth and took out a thousand taels of gold and a sword she had collected for many years.

Liu Wei knew exactly what he was going to say, so he smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing. Gold and swords are just material possessions. What I want to know more is why you're willing to do anything to make me give up Mi'er!"
"If I were to tell you, it would definitely shock you!"
Zhen Yao flicked his sleeves, cleared his throat, and said smugly,
"Listen carefully, our Zhen family has already entered into a marriage agreement with the prince of the Han Dynasty and the son of the governor."
“In the future, my five older sisters will either become princesses or daughters-in-law of governors.”
"And you are nothing more than a lowly military commander!"
"Now you should know what fear is, right? Haha!"
