Chapter 324: The Difference in Family Status?_1

"Uncle, by now you should understand that marriage is about freedom, not like in ancient times when it was dictated by parental decree and matchmaker's words. Why does your daughter listen to you so obediently as parents? Because she holds you, her parents, in higher regard than anyone else, even beyond my place in her heart."

"You simply can't guarantee that after she's with me, you can give her the happiness we hope to see. Perhaps what you want is merely a replacement, and you're not capable of loving my daughter as you would love everyone else, are you? Prince, indeed, you're a fine young man—your character, your looks, and your background, all undoubtedly impressive. But we are poor commoners, not wealthy children of privilege, and without much money. My daughter isn't a young lady from a rich family; she's earned everything she has through her own hard work. I can't bear to see my daughter lose her lifetime of happiness because of you."
