Liuzhuangtou had not heard from the Liu family for many years. The only thing he remembered was that when the Liu family moved to Yulin, only the eldest master, Liu Ce, got married among the three young masters. He married Qin, the daughter of a colleague. After moving to Yulin, they sent people to deliver news several times, saying that the second master, Liu Kuang, had made contributions during a Mongolian siege and was appreciated by the local governor Zhou, who married his daughter Zhou to him.
At that time, because Yulin was far away and often attacked, and even the roads inside the Great Wall were not very safe, the Cui family did not go there very often, but the two families still had exchanges.
Then, Mr. Chloe passed away during childbirth, and the Liu family came from the border to offer condolences. Yulin was no less busy than Taoyuankou, as the Mongols were raiding the border at the time, and the men of the Liu family had to wait in the camp and did not come to mourn, but even the third wife, who had only been married for a few months, came along.
The news came late, and because of the war at the border, it took several months to arrive. When they arrived at Cui's house, Mr. Chloe had already been buried. Victor Cui complained that the Liu family was not polite and that there was no man to take charge of such a big event. Several female relatives brought servants to the house by themselves. At that time, he was busy marrying a second wife to take charge of the household affairs. He had a private outburst and refused to meet the Liu family.
The Liu family grandmothers were ignored and felt resentful. The eldest grandmother Qin took her brothers and sisters to the grave of Madam Liu and cried for a while. She also asked her brother from her natal family to go to the Cui family to talk and force Victor Cui to treat the son of the previous wife well.
