【Gojo Family Housewife's Daily Life】Comics

False is true when it is true and false, and there is no place for nothing.

A Dream of Red Mansions (Qing Dynasty) Cao Zhan

-----------------

At the end of September and the beginning of October, the hands of time gently slide across the threshold of autumn.

The quiet breeze carries the message that the osmanthus flowers are in full bloom.

The sunlight and the breeze intertwined, like a melodious piano sound curling in the air, or like the purest and most beautiful lines of poetry between heaven and earth slowly spreading out and falling into every corner of the courtyard.

Jing's voice came from not far down the corridor, "Have you packed all your clothes, Madam?"

"It's almost done." Xiaoqing replied.

Just like when she was pregnant with Xing, she would live in a house in Dongtai District during the last three months.

After all, the main family is the main family. There are visitors, heads of branch families, elders... so many people come and go, and you never know when something might go wrong.

She talked to Wu last night, and they unanimously decided to go to the mansion in Dongtai District. It was close to the mountains and the water, with a better environment, fewer people coming and going, and quieter.

That being said, this is not the only reason for going there.

The main family already had a lot of manpower. To make matters worse, the child with the "divine spirit" in her belly also invalidated her abilities, which caused Wu to be overly nervous and sent a lot more manpower to the main family.

It makes this place feel like a prison...Anyway, she prefers the mansion in Dongtai to her main home.

Of course, moving to Dongtai was not just to get away from the "prison" of my family and the troubles of the Presbyterian Church.

Also because...it was more convenient for her to meet up with a "friend".

And if... we meet at the main family, there is a high chance that Wu will find out.

She was lost in thought for a while, and when she turned around, she saw Gojo Rin standing at the end of the corridor under the eaves waiting for her.

I don't know how long he has been looking at her...

"Uncle Lin is here. Wu-kun is not here today. He..."

Before she finished speaking, Gojo Rin took over the conversation, "It has nothing to do with the master of the family. I have something to say to you, madam."

what?

Looking for her? What to say to her? Could it be that his "Housewife's Little Class" is about to start again?

Oh, she's had enough.

The maid opened the tearoom door.

After they sat down, the maid served tea to Gojo Rin and poured her a glass of juice.

Gojo Rin took a sip of tea but didn't say anything.

Lu Qin waved her hand to signal the maids to go out first.

"What does Uncle Lin have to say?" she asked.

But he did not answer, but asked: "Madam, are you moving to the Dongtai mansion today?"

"Yeah." He should know this, why would he say this...

"Uncle, you came here...could it be just to ask this? What do you want to say? Just say it. If it's not something important, I'll leave you alone. I'm really a little tired, and I still have to check all the packed things one by one." She said with a smile.

"Of course not for asking that." He looked at her and smiled at her.

Lu Qin didn't show it on her face, but she was roaring in her heart: No way!!! The old-fashioned guy actually smiled at her!! But... coming to think of it... when he smiled, he looked quite similar to Wu Jun... should I say... they are indeed uncle and nephew.

"Madam, you have been living with the master of the family for so many years, you must have discovered the naughty side of his character. Maybe it's better now, he has learned to disguise himself. When Wu was young, he was really cold and bad. The elders in the family doted on him, the servants were afraid of him, and the elders worshipped him like the Son of God... Will such a child become mature and reliable when he grows up? Not necessarily." He calmly told an old story.

Oh, I've talked a lot but I haven't gotten to the point yet...

She wasn't naive enough to think he was coming to reminisce about the past.

Talking to her about Gojo Satoru? I'm afraid he has other intentions... When he was a kid... Why didn't he talk about what brand of diapers Satoru used when he was a kid? She was more interested in this.

"Uncle, do you want to reminisce about the past? Then it would be more appropriate to talk to Master Zheng. When I met Wu Jun, he was already 23 years old. I don't know what happened before, so it's hard for me to comment."

It's not that she really didn't know. Jing had told her a lot about Gojo Satoru's childhood, and even Gojo Satoru himself had told her a lot when they were together.

She just didn't want to have such a meaningless conversation with Gojo Rin. He should just say whatever he wanted to say, why did he have to beat around the bush... It made her uncomfortable.

"Madam, you don't want to listen to my nagging."

"Uncle, what are you talking about? (Just know that you are being long-winded.) Uncle, just speak directly. You are Wujun's uncle, so you are also my uncle. We are a family, there is nothing we cannot say. (Inner thoughts: Please finish speaking quickly and leave)

Gojo Rin looked at her for a while, his eyes seemed to want to ask her something.

And she actually saw a hint of pain in his purple eyes... Ah, this... must be an illusion... She must not have slept well last night.

"Since Madam said so, I will just say it straight. Madam should love yourself more. Not to mention for the sake of the child in your belly, but just for your own sake, don't let Wu treat you like that again." He said in a low voice.

"He has had that kind of personality since he was a child. Even if he pretends to be better now, he can't change what is engraved in his bones. If you indulge him blindly, you will only hurt yourself... He will never be satisfied and will only get worse..."

She doesn't love herself...Hearing Lin's words, her face turned pale, and she probably knew what he was talking about...

But how could she answer? She would never admit it.

After listening to this, Lu Qin took a deep breath and said with a smile, "I just don't understand what Uncle Lin is talking about."

"The clan meeting a week ago. Madam, do you want me to explain it more clearly?" He took another sip of tea and looked at her.

At this moment, Gojo Rin's eyes, filled with the purple of Roland, made Lu Qin feel nervous and his palms sweaty.

How did he know?

What exactly did he want? Did he want her to admit that she and Gojo Satoru had played those lewd tricks at the clan meeting...

"You have to know how to refuse Wu, otherwise he will go too far. He despises the family rules of the Gojo family and the etiquette of the nobles. He likes to break the rules and even enjoys it. But Madam...you are the master's wife, not a concubine for him to play with! Please don't fool around with him all the time, and advise him more. This is your duty!" Gojo said sternly.

Listen to what this means? Legal wife? Persuasion?

Putting her on a high pedestal... putting her on a moral high ground, right?

But she felt that men asking women to be "virtuous" and "to advise their husbands" was a form of PUA for women. Just like Gojo Rin, he knew that she was not the leader of these things, but he still only dared to look for her.

If he has the guts, he should go find Gojo Satoru and teach him a lesson. He should repeat these words from beginning to end in front of Gojo Satoru!

Still a legal wife? Still giving advice?

Women all have their own functions, right?

She was too lazy to waste time talking to him and decided to send this plague god away as soon as possible.

"Uncle Lin, have you finished? Thank you for your teachings. I am very ashamed... I will think about your words carefully. But I am really tired and need to rest. Please do as you please, uncle."

After saying that, she stood up and walked out the door.

"Madam, take care." Gojo Rin nodded to her.

Hearing his voice, before leaving, Lu Qin looked back at him again...

After Lu Qin left, He Zhi, who had been sitting under the eaves, walked into the tea room.

She knocked on the open door, "Sir?", indicating that she was coming in.

But Master Lin still didn't respond...

She walked behind the screen of the tea room.

Then...she saw Lord Rin, whom she respected and admired the most, who was staring at the cup used by his wife with a slightly sad look on his face.

This wasn't the first time she had felt this way.

My Lord, he wouldn't be...

Please, don't be like this, don't be so cruel to her...

After a while, Gojo Rin seemed to notice the person behind him.

"You're here." He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again and spoke, his expression was as calm as usual.

"Lord Rin." Tsurori saluted him respectfully.

"You have been serving closely... How is Madam's health recently?"

"Very well." Tsuruori replied, and then added: "The young master in Madam's belly is also doing well. Doctor Yongchuan comes every week."

She looked at Lord Lin's face and saw that there was nothing unusual about him, as if the sadness he had just felt did not exist.

It seemed like everything was her illusion.

So, she said, "In my opinion, what you said just now was actually beyond the rules. If the master knew, he would definitely be unhappy. In fact, the master is not a person without sense of propriety... He cares more about Madam's health than anyone else."

"Really..." After hearing her words, Gojo Rin silently took a sip of tea with an unclear expression.

Isn't it? She felt that the master shouldn't say those words to the lady. It is a taboo to ask about the private affairs of the head of the family.

"Then do you know that what you said was beyond the limit?" Gojo Rin put down the teacup, looked at Tsuruoki, and spoke in a cold voice.

-----------------

(In a house in Dongtai District)

The wind blew through the apricot trees, tangling the leaves and making rustling sounds. It then brushed across her face, bringing with it a hint of the fragrance of the apricot leaves.

Dozens of tall apricot trees stand in the early autumn landscape, poetic and charming.

The sunlight falls on the apricot leaves and on the ground, making a mottled scene.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Lu Qin picked up an apricot leaf from the chair and said happily: "I didn't expect you to really come in."

Seeing that Xia Youjie was wearing casual clothes instead of that strange monk's attire, Lu Qin couldn't help but smile.

No wonder Wu said that Jie was the guy with the best relationships with women that he had ever seen. It seemed that he did have the potential in terms of appearance.

"What are you laughing at? Am I weird?" Xia Yujie looked at her and asked.

The afternoon sun shone through the dense apricot leaves, casting mottled shadows on her light purple chest-length skirt.

He saw her wide purple sleeves and skirt moving gently in the wind, which was very charming.

Of course, what attracted his attention more was her pregnant belly, which was different from the last time he saw her in May. Now, it was bulging obviously.

She smiled at him in the sunshine, her eyes as clear and bright as a spring pond.

"I laughed because your outfit wasn't weird. It also reminded me of something someone said to me. He said, 'Jie, you're really popular with women.'" She said with a smile.

Xia Youjie looked at the woman sitting on the bamboo bench in front of him. He naturally knew who she was talking about, and he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

They have a common love and they will share with each other the interesting things and feelings when they are with him.

I have to say, this is a very subtle feeling.

But... not bad, right?

"Wu-kun is watching me very closely now. Even if we move to the Todai mansion, Ken and Ryoko will come and live with us." She looked at Geto Suguru and said.

Then, she asked curiously, "Gojo Ken has been in the outer courtyard the whole time... How did you get in without him knowing? Are you that good at hiding the fluctuations of cursed energy? Logically speaking, once the fluctuations of supernatural powers caused by cursed energy appear around me, he will definitely rush over first."

"I've said it before, there are few places in Japan that I can't go." As he spoke, the cursed spirit hidden on his shoulder revealed its true form - a cute, ugly caterpillar-shaped cursed spirit with a baby face.

"It can hide the fluctuations of cursed power. Not only that of the sorcerer, but also the fluctuations of the supernatural power of weapons." He explained.

"Very interesting and practical." Lu Qin commented, looking at this "ugly baby" on Xia Yujie with curiosity.

"What? Are you looking for me to chat? Is there something that can't be said online? Why do you have to meet me? I'm busy too." He sat down next to her naturally, leaning against the back of the bench, looking very relaxed.

"Then you came anyway!" she chuckled.

"what?"

"I said, even so, you still came."

"Jie...let's be friends." Lu Qin suddenly changed the subject, and the smile just now faded.

"Forget it." He was briefly surprised, not expecting her to ask this question, but he still gave a quick answer.

"As a friend, can I still advise Jie? Don't do anything stupid... Okay?"

Seeing her lowering her head, half of her face was hidden in the shade of the tree. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"

"I had a dream. I dreamt that you died...and so did I, of course." She looked up at him and said the "terrible" words with a smile.

After hearing her words, Geto Xiayou couldn't help but laugh out loud, "If you have a nightmare, you should go find Wu and let him hug you. Why did you call me here? Do you want me to comfort you on his behalf? (In Japanese, "抱" means not only to hug, but also that meaning, so what Geto said is actually very ambiguous).

Seeing that he was still joking, Lu Qin retracted his smile and said seriously: "I haven't had a dream for many years. It has always been me who influences others through dreams, and it is not the case that I am affected by dreams."

She was telling the truth. All owners of Lu Jiaming's soul technique have the ability to control dreams.

Xia Youjie naturally also thought of the Lu family's ability.

He had witnessed her abilities before at Zojoji Temple, and thanks to her, he had been repeating the dream she gave him for eight whole months (see Chapter 19).

"You know? The last time I had a dream was when I was in my teens. At that time..." She smiled bitterly.

"Later...my sister, she, really passed away." She turned her face away, the breeze blowing her hair, making it impossible for him to see her expression clearly.

"The alien world says that soul magic is a miracle, but my brother Lu Liang says that soul magic carries the curse that Duanmu Ying left on the Lu family." She forced a smile.

"You're overthinking it.....You're only dreaming because your abilities are gone now."

Lu Qin forced a smile after hearing this: "I hope so."

"Can I ask you what you dreamed about? It's about me, right?" He looked at her and asked.

"I dreamed... thousands of cursed spirits appeared in the sky above Tokyo... covering the sky and the sun... I thought of you immediately." She replied.

Xia Youjie broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, but he still smiled calmly, "What about you?"

Lu Qin just smiled and didn't answer him.

Yeah, what about her?

She dreamed that she fell in a pool of blood, with blood spreading beneath her... It was the first time she realized that a person could bleed so much.

At the same time, she also saw that her belly had deflated, so the baby was born...

Then she should be fine. After all, as long as the "divine spirit" leaves her body, the "Shuangquan Hands" can instantly repair the damage.

PS:

Qin had a preconceived notion that Gojo Rin was dissatisfied with her and hated her. After all, Rin's words and actions could easily give the heroine such an illusion.

But if the heroine uses the "Soul Brightness Technique" on Gojo Rin, she will probably scare herself to death. (Oh, now the Soul Brightness Technique... cannot be used, it is in a dormant state)

No one noticed Qin's abnormality at the banquet, not even Jing, only Gojo Rin noticed it~ Uncle, how much do you usually pay attention to Xiao Qin...
