Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 262

I also remember my husband always quietly taking care of all her needs, from food and clothing to shelter and transportation...

Two quarters of an hour later.

Yukino told Kousaka Kyosuke some basic, true information.

She only cautiously revealed information that everyone outside already knew.

But at least it didn't mix in exaggeration or falsehood...

Yang Nai, who was listening silently, didn't know whether she should laugh out loud.

"This is simply stating something that everyone already knows!"

"Are they taking advantage of my mother and me being new here and uninformed?"

Yang couldn't help but laugh in the end.

He laughed.

My sister has completely changed!

"So what are you going to do in the future?" the mother asked again.

Yukino, who was very nervous, tried her best to appear natural.

Even though she knew her mother most likely had figured it out.

However, Yukino knew even better that her mother was very rational.

She is someone who would absolutely not object to her being with Kyosuke Kousaka.

"I will help Kyosuke-sama. He sometimes forgets things, and I will help him record them..."

"No, Yukino, I'm asking about you. You are, after all, just a maid."

The mother gently interrupted Yukino.

Yukino frowned, but this time she felt much less timid.

She revered her mother.

Despite having gone through so much, she still understands some principles.

“Mother, I can only be a maid; my status and position were predetermined.”

I've been in this world for half a year now.

Yukino knew very well that ability was often secondary, and identity was the primary factor.

She sensed that her mother was having bad thoughts.

She needs to remind her.

The mother let out a soft sigh.

Seeing her mother's disappointment, Yukino finally whispered a reminder to Yukino.

He parted his lips slightly and spoke silently.

Yukino noticed.

Lip movements...

Father? ?

His eyes widened suddenly, and his heart skipped a beat.

Yukino reflexively exclaimed, "No!"

Does this mean she should constantly demand things from her husband?

Sensitive Yukino immediately became agitated!

She absolutely refused to allow any impurities to interfere with her relationship with Kyosuke Kousaka!

The mother did not respond.

She felt that her daughter needed some time to calm down.

Sweet love is wonderful and irresistible.

But life is a matter that always requires considering many other things.

"Yukino, what you're doing will make us very disappointed."

Yang couldn't help but speak in his old teasing tone.

To be honest, my sister is really lucky.

It was given by a nobleman to the Taoist priest's confidant, and coincidentally, he was also very favored.

This is truly the treatment afforded to the female lead.

Yang Nai's situation is much worse.

I also have to deal with those swarms of suitors at the manor.

He also had to show his face and run errands for his father, who was a minor official in the village.

I've only recently benefited from this younger sister's good fortune.

Nothing worse happened.

“…Um,” Yukino said hastily, as if trying to explain something, then looked at her mother and sister with great shame, “I think, actually, it doesn’t have to be like that.”

Yang spoke on behalf of her mother: "How so?"

"Lord Kyosuke has always been short of manpower. He previously asked us if we knew anyone capable of handling matters related to the family estate and the newly developed estate..."

Feeling extremely ashamed and embarrassed by her actions, Yukino thought for a moment and then spoke up.

What she said wasn't exactly a secret.

"A newly developed estate?"

“…” Yukino remained silent and did not answer.

The affairs of the Water Department office and manor near Arakawa are still somewhat kept secret.

I cannot disclose that.

Yang Nai didn't know whether she should be angry or not.

My sister's completely "change of heart" is so upsetting.

She's starting to want to bully her younger sister!

After that, there was another long period of questioning.

Haruno deliberately used Yukino's guilt to gather various useful information.

The various techniques that should have been used on the opponent were instead used on this still innocent younger sister.

Until my younger sister fled in panic...

"Oh, they just ran away?" Yang Nai looked disappointed.

Let's leave it at that.

said the mother.

She herself did not intend to force her difficult daughter.

I was just giving her a simple reminder.

This will allow her to consider her father's feelings a little when thinking about problems in the future.

"I wonder if Father has any chance of becoming an official?" Yang Nai suddenly asked.

Her mother glanced at her.

"So ambitious."

She had studied history carefully.

Even though this world contains elements of mythology and fantasy.

There haven't been many changes in the law.

The Heian period is still a key focus of my history books from my school days, and I remember it vividly.

According to the "Elderly Care Order and Selection Order".

The legitimate sons, illegitimate sons, and legitimate grandsons and illegitimate grandsons of three or more nobles, as well as the legitimate sons and illegitimate sons of five or more nobles.

Upon reaching adulthood, one can rely on the noble birth of one's ancestors and fathers to naturally receive a rank ranging from the fifth rank lower to the eighth rank lower.

Becoming an official seems simple.

But in reality, the positions of these officials were inherited by noble sons with aristocratic bloodlines!

People of ordinary status have absolutely no chance of becoming officials.

It would be better to urge her husband to work hard at the household office and try to make a good impression on the head of the noble family.

This will enable them to have a better position in the future.
