There's a saying that a doting mother often leads to a spoiled child.
Lord Liu had a host of wives and concubines, yet it was unfortunate that fortunes regarding his offspring were not favorable. Having passed the age of forty, he finally had a son late in life. The entire family wished they could spoil their only heir to the heavens.
Especially Lord Liu's wife, who nearly sacrificed her life to give birth to this plump boy, naturally doted on him excessively.
Because he was still young, he wasn't entirely considered a nefarious wastrel, but if he continued to grow up spoiled, in a couple of years, he would likely excel in bullying both men and women.
However, this young master had never suffered, and upon hearing that his family could be executed and he could be beheaded, he immediately sold out his father.
