"..."

Kei watched Kyosuke Kosaka leave, his feelings a complex mix.

She never expected that her family's troubles would be resolved because of her connections.

She was very grateful to Kyosuke Kousaka.

The mother had seriously analyzed with her brother what he had done before.

She listened carefully and understood perfectly that what her mother said made a lot of sense.

"In this era, you can't afford to make mistakes, or you'll bring trouble to your family," Xiao Gui thought to herself.

Deep down, I was determined to work hard.

They returned to the servants' quarters, where the attendants lived.

Xiao Gui saw her mother talking to her brother.

"Xiao Gui, you're back."

"...I'm back. Mother, what did you and my brother talk about?"

"I'm talking to Yuyuki about the future, to see what he really thinks."

Youxiao spoke slowly to Xiaogui.

Xiao Gui walked up to her older brother, Shirogane Miyuki, and asked softly, "What are you thinking, brother?"

Shirogane Miyuki hesitated before answering.

"...I don't have any other thoughts. I just do whatever the supervisor tells me to do."

learn from mistakes.

After what happened before, he understood that he couldn't cause trouble for his family.

As her mother said, in order to help her friend seek revenge, she put her family in a dangerous situation...

That's a sign of immaturity!

He admitted that he was wrong.

His best course of action at that moment was to prevent his master from getting into danger.

Even if you go alone, you must not let your master willingly step into danger.

He was wrong.

This world, this era, may very well need to pay with one's life to rectify this mistake.

Even family members have to bear the consequences of their mistakes.

Miyuki Shirogane realized with a deep sense how naive and innocent he had been!

"What do you think, Xiao Gui?" Youxiao asked her daughter again.

"...I think it's great."

Xiao Gui hesitated for a moment before speaking.

After thinking for a moment, she quickly added, "People of our status should be more law-abiding."

Youxiao was surprised, never expecting her daughter to say such a thing.

While secretly praising, he also said:

"That's certainly true, but we also need to plan for the future."

"As you know, your father has been experiencing physical pain due to carrying heavy loads for the past six months."

"If Yuyuki continues to do manual labor in the future, his lifespan will likely be quite short."

Shirogane Miyuki quickly said, "Mom, I'll be careful about that—"

Despite her disappointment, Youxiao patiently explained to her son.

"It's not a matter of whether we pay attention or not, but whether we can avoid it."

"As your mother, I hope you can have your own happiness, at least in terms of food, clothing, and health."

Poverty brings a hundred sorrows.

Youxiao has understood this principle since she was old enough to understand.

Her biggest regret at this moment was that her two children did not fully understand this principle.

"...Then Mother, what do you plan to do?" Xiao Gui asked hesitantly.

Youxiao shook her head: "I don't plan to do anything. I'm just telling you and Yuxing this principle."

What can she do when she first arrives?

Just as her daughter, Xiao Gui, said.

Being honest and conscientious is the right thing to do.

However, this does not mean that Youxiao will not take action.

She simply didn't make many plans because she wasn't clear about the details here.

Why are they rushing around and making rash moves after only a few days of moving in?

Is this because he's afraid others won't know he's a restless person?

Yu Xiao, who is very patient, would never do that.

She is currently focusing more on her two children.

According to You Xiao.

The daughter, Xiao Gui, will likely rise in status through her interactions with her master.

My son, Yuyuki, is a man after all. As long as he matures, he will be able to take on the responsibilities of this family in the future.

And her ex-husband, Wu Yan.

Yu Xiao was quite satisfied with Wu Yan.

Aside from his displeasure over his children's education, Takehiko does an excellent job in all other aspects.

Unfortunately, I'm already getting old, and I've been working too hard for the past six months.

It would be better to gradually pass on the responsibilities to one's young son.

As for Yu Xiao herself?

She would also go to work.

More often than not, they carefully gather information in an orderly manner and then make plans for the future.

“Mother, tomorrow I will go with Lord Kyosuke to a shrine in the suburbs.”

"Then be careful and don't act on your own."

"I will."

Xiao Gui nodded solemnly to her mother.

Shirogane Miyuki watched from the side, looking worried.

He seemed to have heard that the master had taken maids as concubines.

It seems that...

"Yu Xing, think carefully about your future development. I'll talk to you about it later."

"Yes, Mom!"

Shirogane Miyuki said, both flustered and delighted.

The feeling of not being abandoned by his mother welled up in his heart, and for a moment he forgot what he was thinking.

Yu Xiao, who had been observing her children's expressions, sighed inwardly.

Takehiko, the children you've raised are so naive...

evening.

When the Moon Goddess returned from the shrine, Kyosuke Kousaka, seeing that everyone was present, immediately started a party.

The meat of wild animals caught during patrols, as well as the sea fish left behind in the magical space, were all used to make a feast!

"Isn't this a bit too extravagant..." Feng Shi hesitated, having only been there for less than two days.

Sitting next to her, Xiangzi glanced at Kousaka Kyosuke's composed and elegant way of cutting the fish, and smiled slightly at Toyomi.

"Kyosuke-sama is always like this, and almost all of these big fish and meats are hunted by Kyosuke-sama himself."

In other words, the so-called extravagance and waste do not exist.

I didn't spend much money at all.

The husband could support the whole family just by being a hunter.

"Ah, Kyosuke-sama is so handsome~"

The budding leaves sprouted illusory pink hearts.
