Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1130

Of course, this wouldn't make Su Chang forget to give the Aragaki Ayase family a less than favorable impression.

Being a vassal means you have to be loyal.

But there's no need to worry about these things too much.

Su Chang was more concerned about her husband's attitude.

That is, the husband's attitude towards Ayase Aragaki.

From the very beginning, Su Chang guessed that he probably didn't have any desires and was just the type who needed a little care.

Even so, she still wanted to confirm it more specifically.

"It was Lord Sei Shonagon who asked me to follow Lord Kyosuke. Lord Sei Shonagon sympathized with my being ostracized by my other colleagues, so he specifically asked Lord Kyosuke to do so..."

Ayase Aragaki revealed the reason without hiding anything.

My heart was filled with both gratitude and a strong sense of shame.

She knew that she was someone who was pitied by others.

It was definitely not for any other reason that Kyosuke Kousaka took him in.

"Life is full of disappointments. Fortunately, you haven't reached a dead end, which is something to be happy about. Come on, I'll show you around. I'm sure you'll like it here!"

After a simple word of comfort to Ayase Aragaki, Su Chang eagerly took the lead.

She had no problem with Ayase Aragaki.

At most, she just has a slightly negative impression of the head of Ayase Aragaki's family.

"Yes, Madam Sushang..."

Seeing Su Chang quickly walk towards a certain direction, Ayase Aragaki, who was still hesitant, immediately followed closely behind.

Before long, Su Chang brought Aragaki Ayase to the location of the northeast house.

The location is exactly what Kyosuke Kosaka referred to as his "temporary residence".

However, there were actually several temporary residences available, and Su Chang was the one that was most suitable for Ayase Aragaki by default.

"Kikyo? Honami? Is either of you here?"

Upon arriving at a certain house, Su Chang skillfully opened the door and called out sweetly.

Less than two or three seconds after the call was made, a response came from inside the house.

"Madam Su Chang, please come in! I'll come to greet you right away—"

"Oh, no need to rush. I'm already very sorry to bother you."

Su Chang did not go inside.

My husband always likes to say, "Put yourself in his shoes."

Therefore, Su Chang was more understanding than before.

She was particularly careful in how she treated her companions in the bedroom.

Everyone maintains a good relationship with each other, and Su Chang certainly cannot break it.

"I'm very sorry to have kept you waiting, Madam Sushang."

About half a minute later, Kikyo Kushida, who was only wearing a pure white undershirt, chuckled awkwardly.

Su Chang shook her head: "No need to rush. I feel uneasy that I came here suddenly without telling you and caused you trouble."

"Madam Sushang, you are such a gentle person..."

"No, I'm not being gentle at all. I'm only being polite because we're all family."

Su Chang tilted her head slightly and winked playfully at Kushida Kikyo.

She learned it from Kita.

It feels great to use!

“Hehe,” Kikyo Kushida maintained her natural smile and waved her hand, “Mrs. Susou, please come in and sit down. I’m the only one inside. Honami is making candy with my mother.”

"Okay! I'll go in now. Let me introduce someone first—this is Qin Lingse, you can just call her Lingse. I hope either you or Fanbo can mentor her these next few days."

"Yes, Madam Sushang, that's no problem at all!"

Kikyo Kushida smiled at Susou, then turned her smile toward Ayase Aragaki behind Susou.

Upon hearing Ayase Aragaki's surname, she immediately began to have some interesting ideas.

I feel that my hard work these past few days has not been in vain.

Like now.

When Su Chang asked someone for a favor, she immediately thought of her and Ichinose Honami, who lived with her.

This is great news!

Ultimately, in this era, those who cannot create any value are truly superfluous.

Kikyo Kushida never intended to be a superfluous person.

They were even less willing to live off the sympathy or pity of Kyosuke Kousaka or anyone else.

She prefers to demonstrate her value and gain recognition from a group of people.

"Please come in!"

After speaking, Kikyo Kushida hurriedly invited Susa and Ayase Aragaki to enter.

After exchanging pleasantries, the group finally sat down together to drink tea and eat pastries.

Ayase Aragaki, who had just arrived, was still not used to it.

How could a servant sit with his master?

However, Ayase Aragaki clearly realized that she shouldn't be thinking about this issue.

At this moment.

The topic Su Chang was discussing was clearly designed to drive Ayase Aragaki crazy.

"Kikyo, your bra is a bit tight. Won't you get it altered?"

"Yes, I'm preparing to get busy with that kind of thing these days."

"Why don't you go to the bedroom and get a few, or have Komachi or someone else bring them over? They have all kinds of sizes, there's bound to be one that suits you."

"...Okay, I'll be there in a bit."

Despite feeling a bit stiff on her scalp, Kikyo Kushida tried her best to keep a calm expression.

She had previously heard Su Chang talk about her various romantic relationships with Kousaka Kyosuke.

Therefore, I know quite a lot.

"I never would have guessed that Kyosuke-sama is such a man with strong desires. He seems like such a peaceful man..."

Kushida Kikyo's Secret Passage.

Having heard of, and even vaguely noticed, the true nature of the occasional grand feast, she naturally believed the truth.

Then just pretend you know nothing.

What else can we do?

It's better than having a future husband with a low sex drive.

To be honest, a harmonious sex life is better than anything else.

Furthermore, it was noted that the women in the bedchamber maintained a peaceful demeanor throughout.

Kikyo Kushida understood that this was a major reason why the mansion was so peaceful.

"Then I won't disturb you from teaching Ayase the rules. I'll be going now~ No need to see me off~"

Having taken good care of Kikyo Kushida's health, Sushang stood up nimbly and prepared to leave.

Kikyo Kushida also stood up and said with a smile, "At least let me see you to the door."

"This door will do."

Su Chang chuckled.

Next, Kikyo Kushida and Ayase Aragaki arrived at the door and watched Su Chang leisurely leave.

“Alright, now that Lady Sushang has left, I'd like to formally introduce myself to you, Ayase—my name is Kikyo, and I'm the steward of this manor, Miss Hinano…”

After Su Chang left completely, Kushida Kikyo smiled and explained her situation in detail to Aragaki Ayase.

Bringing someone along is a very simple thing.

It's not like I'm going to teach any difficult skills or that there's anything important to arrange.

Simply put, the goal is to make sure that Ayase Aragaki knows the rules of the mansion and doesn't break any taboos.

If she can mess up something this easy, then she's utterly useless.

"In short, do your best to teach Ayase well!"
