"How does the father want his daughter to take responsibility?" Liu Zhaoran looked at Liu Changhan blankly.

Sure enough, even at this time, the father still spoke of the Liu family.

Liu Changhan was silent for a moment, and looked away from Liu Zhaoran, instead looking at the tablet placed in front of the coffin.

"The marriage between you and the boy from the Pei family is over. My father will choose a more suitable candidate for you."

"Father!" Liu Zhaoran's expression changed, "You clearly know that your daughter likes Pei Zhaoqing, your daughter..."

"It's shameless for a girl to keep her mouth shut but like to take it seriously. What's more, even if she likes her, it doesn't matter. You are the daughter of the Liu family, so you should always put the Liu family first."

"But Pei Zhaoqing is the eldest son of the Hou family after all. His status will never disgrace the Liu family, and..."

"So what, Prince?"

Liu Changhan interrupted Liu Zhaoran's words, with a little contempt in his eyes.

"Although he has the status of the heir apparent, he has not entered the court after all and does not hold any official position. In the past, with your brother here, the Liu family did not need your efforts. It would be unreasonable to choose a heir apparent without an official position as his husband. It's still bearable. But now, as a father, you must carefully consider your marriage."

This marriage must be of great benefit to the Liu family, and the son-in-law chosen must also be able to be used by him and the Liu family.

Liu Zhaoran looked at his father in silence, feeling sour in his heart, "Could it be that in the father's opinion, his daughter's marriage is just for profit?"

Even if he knew that he liked Pei Zhaoqing, even if they had already made an engagement, as long as the benefits of the marriage were not enough to satisfy his father, he could only cancel it?

He can only live like a marionette under his father's control for the rest of his life. According to what he said, use your own marriage and your own happiness in exchange to contribute to the Liu family?

Liu Changhan glanced at his daughter again, "You are not young anymore. Although my father does not expect you to be as sensible as your brother, he should not remain so confused. You have to know that no matter how the situation in the court changes, , the Liu family must be invincible. Although your brother risked his life to save Chu Huanyan this time, which is considered a great favor to His Highness the Crown Prince, but relying on this alone is not enough for the Liu family..."

"enough!"

Liu Zhaoran suddenly interrupted Liu Changhan's words and looked at his father angrily.

"Father, don't you know why my eldest brother died? Don't you really understand how hard it has been for him to suppress and endure for so many years? Now that he is dead, not only do you not feel sorry for him, you even don't care about his death. We all need to make some calculations to see if we can get favors for the Liu family. Don’t you think your father is too cold-blooded and unqualified?”

The eldest brother must be in love with Huanyan in his heart, but he can't do anything, can't say anything, and even has to betray Huanyan according to his father's order. How painful must be the eldest brother's heart!

Liu Changhan looked at Liu Zhaoran, his eyebrows almost furrowed.

"You still have the nerve to say these things to your father. Do you think that your father is not disappointed in your heart? How much expectations your father has placed on your eldest brother makes my father's heart hurt! You keep saying that your father is cold-blooded and ruthless, but what about your eldest brother? , he is unfilial, unjust, and extremely stupid!"

For a woman, and someone else's fiancée, to risk your life and abandon the Liu family, you are really as stupid as a pig!

"That was also forced by you. If you could let the eldest brother do what he wants to do and marry the person he wants to marry from the beginning, maybe now Chu Huanyan has become my eldest sister-in-law, and she and the eldest brother are very affectionate, and everything will be fine. Will be issued……"

With a snap, Prime Minister Liu's slap interrupted Liu Zhaoran's words.

"You are simply crazy!" Prime Minister Liu looked at Liu Zhaoran with anger on his face.

The latter covered his burning cheeks and smiled sadly, "If you don't obey your father's orders and do everything you say, you are crazy, then... indeed, my daughter has already gone crazy!"

"You..." Liu Changhan was furious and raised his hand towards Liu Zhaoran again.

The latter didn't hide or evade, he just stood there and looked at Liu Changhan indifferently.

"Father can fight if he wants to, but it is absolutely impossible for the marriage between me and Pei Zhaoqing to be called off just like that. Even if we break off the engagement one day, it can only be because he and I no longer have feelings for each other. I'm tired of watching it, but it's definitely not to become my father's pawn."

"Sir, the officials who came to pay homage have arrived." Outside the mourning hall, a servant's cautious report came.

Liu Changhan slowly lowered his raised hand and looked at Liu Zhaoran with disappointment, "These things are not up to you!"

After speaking, he ordered to the door: "Someone, take the young lady back to the courtyard to rest. No one is allowed to let her step out of the courtyard without the original order."

Liu Zhaoran looked at Prime Minister Liu coldly. After a while, he looked away and returned to his yard under the nervous eyes of the servants.

"Miss, why are you doing this?" In the courtyard, the maid carefully wrung out the handkerchief and put it on Liu Zhaoran's face. "The master just left, and the master is not in a good mood now. Why do you have to face him?" Come."

"Otherwise? Will you obediently follow his orders, break off your engagement with Pei Zhaoqing, and then happily marry the husband he chose for me?"

Liu Zhaoran sat on the stone bench absentmindedly, smiling sarcastically.

"My elder brother has left, so I have to become the second elder brother and be a chess piece in his hands at his mercy?"

"Miss, parents have always made the final decision on marriage matters. Although you and Prince Pei are already engaged, if the master insists on breaking off the engagement, then you..." The maid sighed and said helplessly, "How about you do this this time? Just listen to the master and save the trouble. In the end, not only will the relationship between father and daughter be ruined, but the engagement will have to be broken off."

"If you listen to him this time, then the next time, and the next time, it will be endless." Liu Zhaoran took the handkerchief from the hand of the maid, and held the cold handkerchief in his palm, which made people calm down. Shao Shao, "We must find a way to leave. At least, we can't just be held in the hands of my father."

"Miss, this courtyard is guarded. We can't get out at all." The maid said in embarrassment.

"No, you can go out." Liu Zhaoran looked at the maid and took her hand, "Many people will come to worship my elder brother today, and Chu Huanyan will definitely come too. If you think of a way to send her a message, just tell me Want to see her."

"Miss, this..."

"Don't worry, there are many people coming today, and many of them are courtiers. The house is very chaotic. As long as you are careful, father will not notice it. If something really happens, if father wants to punish you, even if I risk my life , and will definitely protect you.”

Liu Zhaoran has always been tolerant to the maids around him and has a deep love between master and servant. Now when he heard his young lady say this, the maid no longer cared about being afraid and quickly agreed.

And half an hour later, Chu Huanyan, who came to the Liu family to worship, received news from the maid...
