Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1141

Kyosuke Kosaka himself had no idea that Haruno's head was already filled with strange and bizarre things.

Seeing Yang lower his eyes with a smile, as if he was thinking about something important, he naturally wouldn't disturb him.

At this moment, he turned his attention to Kagura's interaction with Rumi.

The two had already exchanged pleasantries and were now chatting casually.

"Are there any problems with your parents' side?"

"They were a little surprised at first, and then their feelings became very complicated..."

Kyosuke meant no harm.

"I know, I know all about this..." Liu Mei looked puzzled.

Knowing that the incident involving the spirit herb had caused turmoil in the imperial court, she was well aware of the immense danger she faced as the person mentioned by Kousaka Kyosuke.

Even so, Rumi never complained about Kyosuke Kousaka.

Simply put, she has always felt grateful to Kyosuke Kousaka.

I just hope that Kyosuke Kosaka won't be too forceful in trying to "eat her up"... at least be a little gentler.

"This era is characterized by early marriage and childbirth, so we cannot use the perspective of the modern world to view certain situations that seem to be illegal at all."

Staying in the US is a rational choice.

She thought to herself, if Kousaka Kyosuke took a liking to her, she wouldn't mind, she wouldn't mind at all...

"Don't think too much about it, just live a good life here from now on."

Kagura raised her hand and patted Rumi's head.

Seeing Liu Mei's unease and anxiety, she naturally went to comfort her.

Rumi immediately "understood" what Kagura was saying, and after hesitating for a second or two, nodded.

"..." Ruri, standing behind Liu Mei, remained relatively calm.

She knew Kousaka Kyosuke quite well, as he was talking to the female steward of the mansion not far away.

Since Kyosuke Kousaka was a frequently mentioned and active figure in the maid circle, Ruri knew at least a lot about him.

From the flood relief efforts and the retreat from Mount Oe over the past year to the recent battle against the Siren Kingdom, Ruri knew exactly what Kousaka Kyosuke had been doing.

After all, intelligence gathering becomes particularly active whenever such a major event occurs.

How could the main figures in such major events not be mentioned?

"Just like the rumors say, Kyosuke-sama is kind to girls, but he doesn't actually give them any special treatment. At most, he just has a strong sense of duty to protect the weak."

Liuli analyzed it very rationally.

Before leaving the palace, Ruri heard what Kousaka Kyosuke had said at the court assembly.

Among the mentions are the young lady she served, Rumi, and herself.

Kyosuke Kosaka said that he only decided to help after seeing the two of them in the group.

After careful consideration, Liuli concluded that it was highly likely to be true.

The casual attitude that Kousaka Kyosuke has towards the female steward already shows that he is quite protective of women.

In contrast.

Those so-called "romantic figures" in the palace?

They're nothing but a bunch of lecherous scoundrels.

That's just what Liuli thinks.

"Hinata and Tamaki should be able to live better here!"

Liuli made this assertion in her heart again.

She believed in her own divination.

As a member of the Dark Familia, she was born with considerable spiritual power; divination was merely a minor ability for her.

She has many other skills too~

In fact.

Liuli hadn't expected the divination to come true so quickly—

The time was around 10 o'clock.

The location was in front of a house that looked simple on the outside but was actually spacious and fully equipped inside.

The character is a girl named Kikyo.

This girl is only a few years older than Liuli, but her physical development is too outrageous.

When Liuli saw the magnificent thing in front of her, she almost became depressed.

Why is this happening?

No, now is not the time to dwell on that!

“My two younger sisters can go too…”

"Yes, this is just a simple cherry blossom viewing, but Lord Kyosuke likes a lively atmosphere, so he will invite more people to come."

"Wouldn't this be too much of a bother..."

Liuli carefully considered her words and asked cautiously.

When you come into this world, you definitely can't be careless with your words.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the trouble it causes might involve your family.

“It’s alright,” Kikyo, also known as Kushida Kikyo, said with a gentle smile to Ruri. “Whether it’s Lord Kyosuke or the other ladies, they all love children.”

"Just like Miss Erli, who is only six years old and lives in the Naoki family's house in the east wing, she is often taken around to play by the young ladies and wives, especially Madam Sushang. Perhaps she will take your two younger sisters to play in the future..."

Upon hearing this, Liuli was immediately stunned.

The reaction was quite fast.

"How could a lady of such high status be with my two ignorant and lowly sisters?"

"There's no need to be so formal. Since you're staying here, it means you've been accepted by Lord Kyosuke."

Kikyo Kushida smiled as she faced the residence where Ruri lived.

Liuli lives with her family.

There are five people in the family.

Liuli herself, along with her two younger sisters and her parents.

All five people lived in this seemingly ordinary house, which was actually no different from the surrounding buildings.

Speaking of houses, Kyosuke Kousaka, who built many houses, must have carefully considered the issue of social status, which is why each house has a slightly different appearance.

In reality, the internal situations are not much different.

Kikyo Kushida was aware of all these things.

After all, she's been here for quite a while now.

Well, let's get back to the original topic—although Ruri lives in a very ordinary house and there's no apparent connection between them, Kikyo Kushida doesn't care about that.

As a junior manager assisting Yang Nai in her work, her most important task is to maintain good interpersonal relationships.

The same was true for those in the sleeping quarters.

Even those of lower status than her are the same.

"Okay, then I'll send my sisters over."

Intrigued by Kikyo Kushida's words, Ruri immediately took action.

By the way.

Ruri's real name is actually "Gokou Ruri," which comes from the modern era.

She also has two younger sisters who are in elementary school.

The younger sister, who is in fifth grade, is named Hinata, and the younger sister, who is in first grade, is named Tamaki.

The family worked in the palace after they came into this world.

Life wasn't great, but it certainly wasn't bad either.

In fact, it was not uncommon for countless people to die every day outside the palace for various reasons.

Especially in Kyoto, natural disasters and man-made calamities have been occurring one after another...

This further reinforced Gokou Ruri's belief that it was best for her and her family to stay in the palace.

However, let's assume we want to compare the current situation.

Ruri Gokou thought that staying here was better than staying in the palace.

Like the previous incident involving the spirit-seeking herb.

To be honest, Ruri Gokou had even written her will and carried it with her at that time, hoping that it would bring some comfort to her family after she died.
