"Yes. During their stay, they often sent people to visit their wives. Mrs. Ngee Ann misses Lord Ngee Ann, and her heart is ......"

"Oh, is this what Madame said to you herself?"

Ngee An asked softly, "She can't face the love of Lord Shizhen, so she wants me to go back early, is that right?" ”

"Ah, exactly." The messenger stuttered.

"You go back and tell Madame that the most important thing for me in Ngee An is loyalty. If I abandon Okazaki Castle now, Oda's army will immediately attack Sunfu. I, Ngee An, decided to stay here and stop their attack. ”

"This ...... Is it true? Ngee An nodded heavily: "Fulfilling the duty of loyalty is a very hard thing. ”

The messenger looked at Ngee An silently, as if he still had something to say, but he moved his lips and fell silent again. Ngee An urged, "What else is going on? ”

"And ...... One thing. Madame thought that there must be other women around the adult, so I took a closer look. ”

"Oh, thank you." Ngee An sleekly reversed the subject, "I thank her for her kindness. But I'm not upset right now, you tell her, don't worry. ”

"The adults said that there was no dissatisfaction, which means ......"

"If I am dissatisfied, Madame may choose one of the maids of the Junfu and send it to me. I'm too busy with military affairs to care about women. You go back and tell Madame that I am grateful to her, but I cannot accept this kindness. ”

After Ngee An finished speaking dryly, he suddenly changed the topic and asked sharply in an indistinguishable tone, "When are you going to go back?" ”

The messenger suddenly did not know what to do. The mission given to him by Senahime has not yet been completed. Without asking if there were any other women around Ngee An, he was reluctant to return to Junfu. If Ngee An had a woman, then Sena Ji had no intention of abandoning her infatuation - she instructed the messenger to threaten Ngee An in this way.

"We'll leave in one more day, Lord Ngee An."

"What else is going on with you?"

"If you go back like this, Madame will definitely be worried."

"If it's about women, I've already answered it."

"Then, Madame may not be able to refuse the young master's infatuation......"

"As I said, the word loyalty is very cruel."

"Loyalty...... Does it mean that the young master is the first lord to do nothing? Let the lady learn to be patient? ”

"You don't have to understand. Tell Madame that she will understand......

The messenger thought that Ngee Ann was about to say something that would embarrass him, and he panicked. "It's really envious. My lord has a lady who even the young master never forgets. ”

"I had a dream recently."

"Met Madame?"

"No, I dreamed of a very large toad chasing me."

"Adults are really joking......"

"No, it's true. It chased after me, eager to swallow me. That toad has a great appetite, and it's not just me, it wants to devour my city and my retainers. You probably haven't had such a dream, have you? ”

The messenger's mouth opened in astonishment, knowing that he was no match for Ngee Ann in terms of tongue. "Then I will tell Madame what you said as it was." After saying that, as if he was being chased by something, he staggered and withdrew, guided by his subordinates.

It was that night. Ngee An came into contact with a woman for the first time after leaving Sunhouse.

There are almost no women in the city. Some ministers also suggested that Ngee An find a woman to take care of daily life, but Ngee An ignored it. Right now, I'm busy repairing the city, and besides, Sena Ji is alone in the empty house in Sunfu, so it's not the time to look for a woman. But Senahime's messengers and letters made Ngiyasu inexplicably excited.

At night, Ngee An paced to Sandao City. He carried the meal after the offering to the Buddha and went to the residence of his stepmother, Mrs. Tahara, in Hankeiin, and wanted to talk to his stepmother. There were two maids at the table, and one of them was Ke You, who often came to the city to wash the Ngee An.

"My lord, it's probably inconvenient to live alone. If you have a favorite, you can pick one to go. ”

After the two maids went down to prepare the meal, Mrs. Huaqingyuan persuaded lightly. Although she is only in her thirties, more than ten years of widowhood may wipe out a woman's shame. Her mother's family, the Toda family, was destroyed by Sunfu. Since then, she has no future or direction, and she stays in a corner of Okazaki Castle, quietly watching this ever-changing world.

"Youth is short-lived. Too much moderation is not good for the body. Anyway, pick your favorite one and take it with you. She tried her best to persuade Ngee Ann to live in peace with him—a loneliness that could be felt in her speech and demeanor.

Ngee An might have been furious, but that night he asked, "Mother, what is a woman like?" Will the man be miserable if she is not around? ”

"This," Hua Qingyuan's expression was a little dazed, and she replied lightly, "I think they might go crazy...... It's harder to control than birds want to mate, and it's harder to control than cats who want to mate. The two maids just now, if they were always denied access to men, would definitely do something unchaste. ”

"Really?"

"It seems that you are more to your taste, and she always says she likes you.

At this moment, you came up with your meal and put it in front of Mrs. Haekeiin.

"But do you like adults?"

"Huh?" But you didn't react for a moment, and turned to Ngee An in surprise. Eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman. The skin is fair, the body is plump, like the bud of a gardenia, exuding wild interest and health.

"Your favorite city lord is here, pour a bar for the city lord!"

"Yes." She poured her wine as she answered, her cheeks flushed with shame, and she clearly understood the meaning of Mrs. Huakeiyuan's words.

"I'm begging the lord right now. Since you love the city lord, I hope you will be favored by the city lord. ”

"Ahh But you can't help but hide your face with your sleeves. Another maid, Ah Xiao, also came in. Nghe An inadvertently looked at it and felt that Ah Xiao's skin was more delicate.

"But you, Madame has already told me just now, you really like me?"

"Yes...... Be. ”

"How much do you like it? Women don't need to like me alone, as long as it's a man. ”

But you raised your head in astonishment and looked at Kira Yoshian with grief. Then, in a panic, she stood up and went to grab the flask. Looking at Ke You's back, Kira Yoshiyasu remembered a few sentences from Senahime's letter: "My lord must have shared the bed with other women. Sigh to the moon, who knows if I'm crazy? ”

If Sena Hime had forgotten her grievances in her letter and only expressed concern for Ngee An, Ngee An would undoubtedly not waver. But the reality is quite the opposite. She stubbornly believes that Ngee An has other women around her. What makes her stubborn? Obviously, it's because Sena Hime herself has had a similar experience. Ngee An couldn't help but feel a nameless fire rising from the bottom of his heart.
