After Xu Qinghu returned to the county, he half-truthfully told the Yue Family what had happened.
The Yue Family was furious!
It was true that Xu Nianji was injured, but Yue Hongliang was hurt too.
Yue Hongliang was the treasured child of the Yue Family—they'd never even let him get a scratch, and now Xu Nianji had beaten him up.
The Yue Family originally wanted to go confront the Xu Family right then and there.
But Yue Hongliang was still thinking about Xu Nianji's little sister, so he suppressed things for now and let Xu Qinghu handle it.
Now, with Xu Qinghu saying half-jokingly that the Xu Family wanted to back out of the marriage, the Yue Family felt even more disgruntled.

The same night.
The Xu Qinghe household was lively and warm.
Even with the trouble from the Yue Family, everybody being together as a family was still a reason to be happy.
Xu Qinghe promised, "Nianhua, don't worry, I absolutely won't let you marry into the Yue Family."
