"Oh!" Liu Ruyan nodded.
Liu Yichang looked at the old man and said, "Father, speak frankly. I know you're definitely hiding something in your heart."
"Yes!" Liu Changzheng nodded and said, "There are some things that I simply must get off my chest."
"It's definitely about the Guo family, isn't it?" Liu Yichang asked.
"Yes!" Liu Changzheng nodded and said, "Back then, the Guo family faced trouble. The Lis from Jiangnan and the Chens from Hedong were after the Guo family. I was aware of this in advance. However, the Lis threatened me, and out of cowardice, I dared not notify the Guo family. Therefore, the great disaster that befell the Guo family that year has an inextricable link to me."
"Father, how could it be like this?" Liu Yichang incredulously asked.
"Yes!" Liu Changzheng let out a long sigh and said, "That's also why, eight years after the Guo family's demise, I still insisted on Ruyan marrying Guo Yi, mostly because of guilt!"
"Ah?" Liu Ruyan exclaimed.
