Cai and Liu

Meanwhile, the Cai family was not exactly in the best of situations. 

In one room, multiple elders were seated and the matriarch was at the helm. She glanced coldly at each and every one of them. 

"What has the main family said?" she asked, but she already knew what they would say. 

"The Cai family said that there is no way that a girl surnamed Cai is allowed to marry into the Hong family and that we must fight until the last breath." one person stepped up and said. 

"All this because of one lecherous rascal. I will be sure to behead him, for him to dare lust after Lien." the woman cursed. 

"We should let go of Cai Lien! Then, the family will not have to sacrifice itself for one impudent girl who dared to rope in a boy from the Hong family, and it can evade this whole conflict." Cai Yian, who was at the side, suggested.
