The Amazing son in law Chapter 7047
Song Ruyu responded honestly, stating, “I am currently located in Naples, Italy.”
Charlie Wade inquired further, asking, “What is the defense situation like at the garrison?”
Song Ruyu explained, “The garrison is situated in the heart of the city and is well-protected. The Grand Commander is a cultivator, and Adjutant General Yuan ranks just below the four earls in terms of strength. Additionally, the garrison employs financial-grade security measures, ensuring a very high level of safety.”
Charlie Wade then asked her, “Is your Song family also based in Naples?”
Song Ruyu replied, “The Song family has resided in France for many years. Typically, we wouldn’t have access to information about the Right Army Governor’s Office. However, I had the chance to visit there, which is how I gained this knowledge.”
Charlie Wade furrowed his brow and questioned, “Isn’t your family a branch of the Wu family? How is it that you lack the right to know the station’s location?”
With a sigh, Song Ruyu said, “As a collateral family, we have no standing. For centuries, the Song family has simply followed the directives of the Wu family. We go wherever they instruct us, never questioning their decisions, and we are not permitted to voice any objections.”
Continuing, Song Ruyu added, “Although we refer to ourselves as a branch of the Wu family, in reality, we serve as a means for the Wu family to obtain marriageable women. Any births within our family must be reported promptly to the Governor’s Office. There is a specific department that oversees us, akin to an ancient clan office. They keep all records about our descendants, which must be updated every six months, including comprehensive health examination results. Girls who are sixteen or older are expected to prepare for marriage. When the Wu family selects someone, they will notify us, and then representatives will come to collect the chosen individual at a designated time.”
Charlie Wade, intrigued by the dynamics between the Wu family and the collateral families, encouraged her, saying, “Please elaborate on your relationship with the Wu family and explain how this collateral family structure operates.”
