84 Chapter 84: (2/2)

”Renka ... Renka said she was going to travel the world ...” Liryl says in a trembling voice.

But Patriarch Wu lets out a bitter sigh;

”She already left 9 years ago and since then we have not had any contact with her, do you want Qiuyue to become like her?”

”But ... but still, you should have asked Qiuyue if she wanted to marry Huang Zhang!”

Patriarch Wu went to the window and looked at the sky;

”I've seen that Zhang boy and he's a chivalrous and honest young man, he has many women from the capital in love, he will be a good husband for our daughter, you yourself mentioned some time ago that Huang Zhang could be a good husband for Qiuyue”

”Yes, I said it ... but, but that was just my opinion, we do not know what Quiyue thinks of him”

Sighing, Patriarch Wu could only sit tired in his chair;

”Liryl, we have no other choice ... it's the only way to avoid war with the Zhou family”

Mother Liryl clenches her fists and leaves depressed...

…

Qiuyue who had witnessed the whole discussion of her father and mother, then quickly fled to her room and lay down looking towards her ceiling.

She could not stop thinking about everything she had heard.

Her family was facing possible extermination and to avoid this her father had committed her to Huang Zhang of the Zhang family.

She remembers that several times she met Huang Zhang, who was admired by all the maidens of the capital that considering him an honorable and chivalrous man with a great future ahead of him.

But Qiuyue did not see it that way, she had gained the ability to see through people, and to know if people were good or bad.

And she knew that Huang Zhang was not at all a good person as described in the capital, she could see the arrogance and contempt typical of a child spoiled by his family reflected in the inside of his eyes.

All the honorable and chivalrous appearance that Huang Zhang showed was nothing more than a false appearance.

With some tears in her eyes, Qiuyue remembered her missing older sister

”Sister ... sometimes I would like to be like you and leave to travel the world ...” Qiuyue murmured sadly as she remembered her brave older sister who was resplendent as the sun and always defended and protected her.

Many would probably think that her sister Renka, who disappeared some time ago, left to escape all the problems she would have as the eldest daughter of a noble family and left all the future problems to her younger sister Qiuyue.

But Qiuyue did not think that way, since she felt great admiration for her older sister who had the strength to leave the Wu family and pursue her dreams, unlike her older sister. Qiuyue knew that she herself had no dream and that she did not have the courage of her older sister to escape from the Wu family.

Sadly she could only accept everything...

”Maybe this is what my older sister meant when she told me to be strong ...”

Qiuyue muttered, while that word of becoming strong continued to resonate in her mind...
