Xu Nuo clenched her fists and shook her head. "My mother only said my father died early, and didn't mention anything else."
She remembered her mother and grandfather telling her when she was a little girl that her father had passed away. Because of this, she spoke with absolute conviction.
Xu Wenhua knew it would be to their disadvantage to keep arguing. "May I ask who this Madam is? This is a family matter. It's inappropriate for outsiders to meddle, isn't it?"
He struggled to stand up, but without Jin Qianqian giving the order, the guards refused to let him go.
Jin Qianqian took Xu Nuo's hand. "This girl is my nephew's future wife. Once her mourning period is over, they will be married immediately. Her affairs are the affairs of my household."
Xu Wenhua couldn't just stand by and watch his prize slip away. Even though he had been intimidated by these nobles earlier, he cast caution to the wind. "That's impossible. I am her father. She cannot marry without my consent."
