"Nana, this hall has something to tell you." The atmosphere in Mrs. Nana's residence was very warm, but Matsugami Yoshimitsu quickly interrupted this warmth.

Something? What's the matter? So many things!

Mrs. Nana was stunned for a moment and then a little reluctant, after all, the warmth of a samurai shown by Matsugami Yoshimitsu at this moment was not common.

However, Mrs. Nana saw that Matsugami Yoshimitsu's face was serious and his tone was solemn at this time, so she was also timid, she hurriedly left Matsugami Yoshimitsu's arms, sorted out her clothes, and then knelt down and sat down to him and said, "Your Highness Yoshimitsu, please speak, Nana just listen."

Matsugami Yoshimitsu saw that Nana was sitting cross-legged and said to her, "Do you know that just before you came back, the main hall was discussing with the retainers whether to rebel against the Matsugami family?" ”

Regarding the possible changes in the Matsugami family after Matsugami Yoshiyuki's death, Mrs. Nana naturally understands that as the daughter of a samurai family, what does this have to do with her? Mrs. Nana couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu didn't make Mrs. Nana puzzled for too long, and then said: "At that time, many retainers thought that the main hall should immediately rebel against the Matsugami family and try to stand on its own, even if it was against you who were hostage in Matsugami Castle. In fact, at that time, many of the retainers under the main hall, including the old Saigo Kanhisa, advised the main hall not to worry about you, and the main hall finally felt that the time to betray the Matsugami family had not yet come, so he did not adopt this proposal. ”

"Is Your Highness scheming about Nana?" Mrs. Nana asked triedly.

"Not really." Matsugami Yoshimitsu decisively shattered Mrs. Nana's illusions and continued: "The main hall just felt that the time had not yet come, and if the time was right, the main hall would have abandoned you immediately. In these troubled times, the main hall does not expect your understanding, and if you have a grudge against the main hall because of this, the main hall can promise you to become a nun after giving birth to a child. ”

Matsugami Yoshimitsu could have avoided saying that Mrs. Nana had almost been given up by Matsugami Yoshimitsu and his retainers, and even as long as he didn't say it, it was almost impossible for Mrs. Nana to know about it. However, Matsugami Yoshimitsu eventually decided to take the initiative to inform Mrs. Nana of the matter, and he did not want to face unknown risks because of this.

Maybe it's because they were hostages, but women in the Warring States period also participated in government affairs. Sometimes, they can even influence the way of the retainer's wife to influence many retainers to achieve the goal of the head of the house, which is also called lady diplomacy. When the head of a samurai family was young or weak, some Sengoku women could even rule on their behalf, such as General Shou Guini Runi. What's more, some of the most influential women of the Warring States can even determine the direction of the country. In fact, the Tokugawa family's victory in the Battle of Sekigahara depended largely on the help of Takadaiin, who personally raised a number of military generals such as Kato Kiyomasa, Fukushima Masanori, and Kobayakawa Hideaki, and without Takadaiin, they might not have sided with Tokugawa. The depth of the influence of women in the Warring States period can be seen from this, and how can Matsugami Yoshimitsu not take precautions for this.

Of course, Mrs. Nana cannot be compared to Takadaiin, but her influence on Matsumoto Castle in the future is undoubted. After all, Mrs. Nana is now pregnant, and if she gives birth to Matsugami Yoshimitsu's eldest son in the future, there will inevitably be some retainers gathered under her as a result. What's more, Mrs. Nana is still the princess of the Shenmu family, and the people of the Xixiang faction will naturally become her allies. Therefore, Matsugami Yoshimitsu informed Mrs. Nana of this in advance, on the one hand, to divide her friendship with Saigo Kanhisa and others, and on the other hand, to avoid her greater resentment in the future.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu's ruthless and direct words obviously stimulated Mrs. Nana, and the attitude of Saigo Kanhisa and the others obviously made her feel uneasy.

"If you don't have the support of the Xixiang faction and others, it's just a dispensable side room, so even if you have an heir in the future, you won't have a chance to be the head of the family." Mrs. Nana thought.

Originally, in Mrs. Nana's heart, she hoped that the son she gave birth to could inherit the old leadership of the Shenmu family, so that it was also an explanation for her dead father. In this way, it is inseparable from the support of the Saigo faction, so the blow to Matsugami Yoshimitsu can be imagined.

In this way, Mrs. Nana is even more inseparable from Matsugami Yoshimitsu's favor, and Mrs. Nana, who wants to understand, hurriedly and solemnly said: "His Royal Highness Yoshimitsu doesn't need to mind, Nana is also the daughter of a samurai family." Since the day she became the side chamber of His Highness Yoshimitsu, Nana has been prepared to sacrifice herself for the great cause of His Highness. If the future of His Royal Highness is affected because of Nana's consideration, even if Nana lives because of this, she will definitely commit suicide. His Royal Highness Yoshimitsu is so decisive that he is indeed a true samurai, how can Nana have a grudge against His Highness? ”

"Really!" Matsugami Yoshimitsu was a little surprised, he didn't expect Sengoku women to be so considerate. In fact, he was ready to be blamed, but this kind of thoughtfulness was too unkind.

"If His Highness Yoshimitsu doesn't believe it, Nana can make her will clear with death." As she spoke, Nana took out a handful of ribs from her sleeve, which was her Matsugami Castle for self-defense.

Seeing this, Matsugami Yoshimitsu hurriedly snatched the ribs from Mrs. Nana's hand and said urgently: "Okay, okay, the main hall believes it." This rib is carried by you, it can be seen that you have a will to die when you were in Matsugami Castle, and your mind is understood by the main hall, for which I am grateful to Yoshimitsu. Thinking about it like this, I don't want to live in this hall, but now I can't help but feel a little ashamed! ”

Matsugami Yoshimitsu didn't tell a lie, and the guilt in his heart did exist. No man can ignore a woman who is willing to go under the knife for him, even if this woman he doesn't care about in the first place.

"Being a hostage is the responsibility of the wife of the samurai, and His Royal Highness Yoshimitsu doesn't need to worry about it." Mrs. Nana thought that Matsugami Yoshimitsu was talking about her hostage in Matsugami Castle, so she hurriedly comforted her.

"Hehe, that's not the case." Matsugami Yoshimitsu smiled bitterly and continued, "The main hall has taken in a new lady in the side room when Iga, she is the daughter of the leader of the Mochizuki ninjas, the lady Chiyo Mochizuki. If the main hall wants to win the trust of Mochizuki Shinobu, you must marry her as a side room, I hope you don't mind. ”

"The daughter of the ninja family?" Mrs. Nana muttered to herself, and hurriedly said to Matsugami Yoshimitsu: "Your Highness Yoshimitsu, you came to Ise alone and lacked the assistance of your fellow clan, it is precisely when you want to continue the heirs of the side room of Dona, this is also for the continuation of the family, how can Nana mind?" ”

"Hahahaha, that's very good, Nana, you have a good rest, the main hall will go first." After dealing with the troubles one after another, Matsugami Yoshimitsu left satisfied.

After Matsugami Yoshimitsu left, Mrs. Nana's originally warm face immediately became cloudy, and it took a long time for her to grit her teeth and instruct the maid, "Go and invite Saigo-sama." ”......
