84 Chapter 84: (1/2)

That same night that Patriarch Wu accepted the marriage of the young heir Huang Zhang with his second daughter, Qiuyue Wu.

...

*Sigh*

Patriarch Wu sighed in exhaustion while sitting in his own office located at the highest point of the main mansion.

Observing through the glass window, he from his office could see all the extensiveness of his Wu family;

”With this ... we will be safe,” Patriarch Wu murmured with some guilt in his eyes.

* Steps * * Steps *

A few hurried steps were heard, and then the office door was forcefully opened by a beautiful mature woman who had some wrinkles between her eyes, wore a silk nightgown and had long, loose hair.

She was Liryl Wu or also called; 'Matriarch Wu'

”Liryl ...”

”What about this!?” Liryl approaches him angrily and places the marriage agreement approved by him strongly in front of his desk.

...

Qiuyue Wu was returning to her room, she was exhausted while she returned from training with her sword, her beautiful face was somewhat soaked and her limbs somewhat exhausted and weak.

While she was heading towards her room, she stopped as she passed by her Father's office, as she heard a strong argument between her father and mother.

'Father and mother are fighting? How strange, they never fight'

Curious by the strange fight of their parents, she approached slowly and observed secretly.

There she saw her mother Liryn Wu arguing with her father about a marriage agreement.

'Marriage agreement?' Qiuyue Wu was surprised to learn this, she did not understand what agreement her parents were talking about.

”How could you accept the compromise without even consulting Qiuyue!?” Shouted her mother Liryn.

While listening, Qiuyue Wu trembled to learn that she had been compromised without even knowing.

Her father Wu refuted all the angry screams of her mother, angrily claiming that if he did not agree to marry her to the young Huang Zhang, then they could not get the support of the Zhang family and they would have to face the war against the Zhou family who had the help of the second imperial prince.

”While I did wrong not to consult Qiuyue, but our Wu family is in danger! What do you want Liryl to do, maybe you tell me to refuse marriage and allow our Wu family to be exterminated!? ”

His mother Liryl frowned, as she did not know how to respond.

”Liryl, Qiuyue is already 19 years old and she has not married yet, do you want her to end up being equal to our oldest daughter, Renka? Do you want her to end up being a spinster and then leave the family to go to who knows where?”

Liryl trembled greatly at the mention of her daughter Renka, even she could not help but clench her fists;
