Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 558

How could Youxiao not be depressed?

The fathers of Yukino, Chitanda, Komachi, and the five sisters were all servants.

Most of them also served as officials in the prosecutor's office where their father worked.

Each and every one of them rose from the common people to the ruling class.

And it's been less than six months!

In Youxiao's view, these were all incredibly explosive moves.

Even so, she did not become obsessed.

"There are far too many maids in the manor who want to win the master's favor."

"But Ms. Haruno and Ms. Hiromi, who are in charge, are very careful about this..."

You Xiao was extremely cautious.

There is a way to transcend social classes, and it's within reach!

The problem is that the head of the household isn't stupid, the person in charge isn't stupid, and the vast majority of people aren't stupid.

The most likely outcome of making any rash moves would be being sent to another village.

Compared to the strict management but high pay and less work in the manor, going to the estate was practically no different from being exiled.

Ultimately, Zhuangzi's work was almost entirely physical labor.

Compared to simple cleaning and errand running, it's like night and day.

If you're not confident, who would dare to take the risk?

Yu Xiao also firmly believed that the young maids who were currently clamoring to take action were all too cautious to dare to act recklessly.

It is said that those who had previously acted improperly were sent to other estates in Ukyo.

Those who are pretty and good-looking are no exception.

Yes, beauty becomes worthless when there's too much of it, and the same goes for anything else.

Kyoto is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, and there are quite a few good-looking common men and women there.

The vast majority of noblemen and women were outstanding individuals.

This has led more people to value inner meaning.

The head of the family is most likely this type, but unfortunately he doesn't seem to care about Xiao Gui.

Youxiao was very disappointed, so much so that she was unusually depressed.

However, she didn't show it at all.

We returned to a house that was much better than the one we had in Kyoto Port before.

Seeing Shirogane Miyuki, who had just finished moving miscellaneous items and returned to rest, Yushino seemed to be deep in thought.

"Miyuki has been working very hard these days, and he looks somewhat similar to when Takehiko was pursuing me..."

After careful analysis, Youxiao finally spoke.

"Yuyuki, do you have someone you like?"

"I... I wouldn't say I have anyone I like..."

"If you're willing to talk about it, then tell me."

Seeing that Shirogane Miyuki hesitated, Yusho asked in a gentle and calm tone.

Frankly, she was worried that her son would develop a liking for women who frequented the inner quarters of the house.

Those women are usually connected to the head of the household, and she was too worried that her son might like them.

If it really happens, you absolutely cannot reveal it in the slightest.

Otherwise, they would truly have no place in this world.

"Actually, she's just a girl I've met a few times..."

"What is your background?"

"..." Shirogane Miyuki remained silent.

He didn't know how to talk about what happened the night before.

It was a dreamlike experience.

Given that Ayanokouji, Hikigaya, and others had told him not to tell anyone, how was he supposed to bring it up?

After all, being able to meet the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family through such an accident was truly... a miracle.

"If your status is too high, you should think twice."

Youxiao sighed, not saying anything harsh to her silent son at all.

My son is very sensible, but too naive.

Shirogane Miyuki's expression darkened: "...I understand."

So he really is someone of high status?

Seeing that her son didn't deny it, Youxiao immediately started guessing again.

She was still worried.

In the modern world, the importance of marrying someone of equal social standing is highly valued.

This is especially true in this era!

Considering that Shirogane Miyuki was currently feeling very down, Arisho ultimately decided not to say anything.

I've been in this world for almost a year, and I've already experienced such serious setbacks.

If you still don't understand, what else can Youxiao do?

Currently, she only hopes that one day her daughter will be chosen.

As for what actions to take?

When Yushin saw that the women in charge all seemed to be candidates for Kousaka Kyosuke's concubines, or even concubines.

Youxiao realized she shouldn't do anything reckless...

One of the female managers whom Yushino feared was Hino.

She instructed people to prepare for the Hayasaka family's move in.

"Oh dear, is Kyosuke-sama even capable of managing this?"

Upon hearing Kousaka Kyosuke's order to move people to the East Room, Haruno immediately understood.

I'm quite interested in it.

Having discovered that Kyosuke Kousaka spends most of his time outside of work with other partners, Haruno finds Kyosuke Kousaka to be quite an interesting person.

Haruno completely regards Kyosuke Kousaka as her future husband, and she often secretly observes him.

These past few days, she's discovered that Kyosuke Kousaka's hobbies might have become rather "unusual," which has piqued her curiosity.

Every day, I would meet him early on the outer corridor where Kousaka Kyosuke would likely pass by.

Hmm, it seems there's a high probability that she's actually developed a "lolicon" fetish.

Given that Kyosuke Kousaka was very persistent in a certain aspect, Haruno became even more certain of Kyosuke Kousaka's "raising" fetish.

In this way, Kyosuke Kousaka is very much like Genji from The Tale of Genji.

However, Genji didn't have that much patience...

—As she gradually learns that her younger sister was Kousaka Kyosuke's first maid and that they seemed to have gotten together not long after, Haruno is deeply amazed by Kousaka Kyosuke's perseverance.

I want both physical and mental well-being.

That's amazing.

"Even with Kyoto's security constantly under threat, Kyosuke-sama is still able to maintain his desires quite well."

Yang had to admire him.

Realizing that the only forms of entertainment in this era, besides banquets, were romance, she found it quite reasonable.

If Kyosuke Kousaka had no hobbies and was as indifferent as a robot, then many things would probably be different.

Thinking of this, Yang Nai began to consider the future situation of the mansion.

Hayasaka Ai moved into the East House with her family, and it would be strange if some women who considered themselves comparable to her didn't have any thoughts about it.

The residence, as spacious as a large park, had many servants, but no one could control what these servants were thinking.

Yang could only try her best to restrain these people from making mistakes.

After all, it was a task given to her by Madam Suyi, and making a mistake would be very embarrassing and would raise doubts about her abilities.

Compared to living a peaceful life in the bedroom, Haruno still prefers to work like she does now.

After arranging for trusted maids to guard all areas, Yang returned to his residence to visit his mother.

With two trustworthy servants to take care of her, and with Haruno or Yukino coming over from time to time, her mother was very safe.
