The Amazing son in law Chapter 7048

Song Ruyu paused briefly before letting out a sigh. “What they refer to as a collateral family is essentially just a system that provides wives for the men of the Wu family…”

While explaining, she shared with Charlie Wade the intricate details surrounding the connection between the Song family and the Wu family.

This was the first time Charlie Wade learned that, in order to safeguard the secrets of the Poqing Society, the Wu family had actually forced other families to assist them in preserving their bloodline. This revelation was quite shocking.

However, considering the circumstances, it made sense. A family like the Wu, which has long depended on Wu Feiyan for its survival and harbors the most critical secrets of the Poqing Society, must juggle the need for secrecy with the necessity of continuing its lineage. Other than resorting to such a grim approach, it seems there were no viable alternatives.

Additionally, Song Ruyu indicated that there are at least twenty collateral families associated with the Wu family, all linked together similarly to the Song family.

The Wu family has thrived over the centuries under Wu Feiyan’s protection. Throughout this lengthy period, the family has remained unaffected by plagues, wars, natural disasters, or man-made calamities, thanks to Wu Feiyan and the elite warriors and cavalry she commanded. Consequently, the Wu family has experienced remarkable prosperity.

Even if an ordinary family reproduces at an incredibly fast rate, it cannot match the growth of the Wu family, which has been consistently expanding its collateral families over the past few hundred years.

When the Anti-Qing Society divided its global territories into the Five Military Governorates, the Wu family inevitably split into five branches based on geography. Each branch flourished within its designated area, with each one supporting at least three collateral families dedicated to producing heirs.

Among these branches, the Left Military Governor’s Office and the Right Military Governor’s Office emerged as the largest, boasting the highest number of members and collateral families.

For instance, the Right Army Military Governor’s Office is notable for having as many as six collateral families, making it the branch with the most extensive network.
