"Master, are we sure our plan for the Liu family will work?"
In the Zhou household, Madam Zhou and her husband were sitting in a small courtyard, waiting for the disastrous news about the Liu family. This way, their son could break off the engagement and nobody would blame the Zhou family.
"Why wouldn't it work? This actually benefits those old folks from the Liu family!" Zhou Jitang glanced at his wife, with no reason to feel guilty about their actions.
It wasn't as if they had asked the family to take the Liu boy's life, they just wanted some money. Once his reputation was ruined, that would be enough.
If it weren't for his son's upcoming examination, which couldn't afford any complications, he wouldn't have settled so easily with Liu Rumei and her duaghter Liu Yushui.
