Tokugawa Ieyasu returns to the bedroom in Okazaki Hon Castle and sits silently.∈◆

Today, he felt the complexity of the relationship between husband and wife more deeply. Before this, he always believed that men and women were just opposites. He thought that standing in this position would be enough to deal with the relationship between husband and wife, but today Sena Hime completely overturned his idea. The relationship between men and women seems to be completely different from that of husband and wife.

The problem that can be easily solved between men and women is like a serious disease when they get to the couple. If that kind of resistance is rational and with sufficient reasons, Tokugawa Ieyasu can convince her or accept her accusations. But her resistance is just a temporary emotional impulse, neither rational reflection nor humility, and just swaying like a madman.

Is it true for his wife that all this made her more resentful than being conquered by **, which made her rise and resist? Tokugawa Ieyasu felt that he had to re-examine the stumbling relationship between him and Sena Hime. Perhaps it was the long-term disagreement that led to today's outbreak.

The growth paths of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Sena Hime are completely different. What Sena Hime hopes for and what Tokugawa Ieyasu hopes for seems to be somewhat incompatible. Tokugawa Ieyasu is becoming more and more accustomed to connecting with the world to understand the world, but Sena Hime is still obsessed with personal happiness. It would be fine if she could get what she thought; but what she pursues is basically a castle in the air, and according to her personality, it is impossible to laugh it off.

For Tokugawa Ieyasu, if the world is peaceful, he would not be in a hurry to make an engagement for a child who is only four or five years old. But the reality is too cruel. Although there will be a short peace before the next crisis, the crisis is inevitable. He needs Sena Hime to understand all this, but she ignores it at all. Tokugawa Ieyasu gradually discovered that as a samurai, he no longer has the energy and time to convince a woman who is unwilling to understand all this.

So, when I think of this, Tokugawa Ieyasu felt that the anger in his heart was getting stronger and stronger. He could no longer calm down. If she was another woman, she might as well laugh it off and let her stay away, but she was her own wife after all, and Takechiyo's mother.

At this time, near the courtyard where he was, there were some retainers who had not left, and their hearty laughter came from the big academy. These retainers understood Tokugawa Ieyasu and were all happy about the public separation from the Imakawa family. Today, when he changed his name for the future of the family, these retainers were also extremely happy. Tokugawa Ieyasu sighed and could not think about this anymore. At least tonight, he would forget everything that was unhappy and enjoy with these retainers.

Immediately, Tokugawa Ieyasu said to Xiaoheita who was following closely: "I'll just go there, you don't have to follow me." Thinking of Sandaocheng respecting his maid without reservation, Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't help but lift his foot out of the bedroom.

But you are the maid of his stepmother, Mrs. Hanakeeyuan. When he met this stepmother, he saw that she seemed a little irritable because of her long-term lack of women, so he gave him the beautiful maid, Kyōi, who was always fond of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who naturally would not reject it. So from that night, the maid, Kyōiyasu, became Tokugawa Ieyasu's woman. In Tokugawa Ieyasu's view, Kyōiyasu had no status, but she had always longed for Tokugawa Ieyasu's affection, but she always controlled herself. While being satisfied with Kyōiyasu's performance at this time, he immediately thought that if Kyōiyasu became a side room or even a main room, her pursuit might change naturally.

In the night, there was darkness around. The Milky Way had not yet appeared, but the night sky was covered with stars and flickering little bits. The cool breeze made people feel very comfortable. Tokugawa Ieyasu walked into the middle door and suddenly remembered Agui. Agui, who had not lost his childlike heart, was always waiting for his father to appear. The husband and wife were in disagreement, and in the eyes of his daughter, it was a disagreement between his parents. Although Tokugawa Ieyasu was angry with Sena Hime, if Agui felt lonely, his daughter would be too pitiful. In addition, over the years, he also lived a miserable hostage life. It can be said that she had never been happy. After thinking about this, Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately changed the direction of his journey.

He decided to return to the Tuoshan Gate and show his face in the brightly lit sacrificial sacrifice. As long as he showed up, his daughter would make me very happy! Although he didn't want to talk to Sena Hime, he hoped that his children could feel his father's love, at least to touch her head, so that she could feel the warmth of her father. After a quarrel, Sena Hime probably wouldn't want to come out again. That would be better, the children would be happy to see the father's smile.

There is also his own legitimate son Takechiyo. I really don’t know how he was doing at Toei Imakawa’s family at this time. Although he learned from Senahime who had returned before that the hostages of the Tokugawa family, including his legitimate son, were restricted in the city of Shima, but their lives were still good, and at least they had not been persecuted.

Thinking of this, Tokugawa Ieyasu had already arrived in front of the Oriental Palace without knowing it, but there was no light in the yard, and there was no noise. Tokugawa Ieyasu opened the wood door and walked in. He bent his waist and looked around. There were only the broken tea bowls that Semine Hime threw out in the afternoon and the offerings that had been cooled down by the drought. The surroundings were quiet and very deserted. Tokugawa Ieyasu hummed helplessly, and the already disappeared anger burned in his chest again. Semine Himesu probably wanted the child to think that it was her father rather than her mother, and he did not take this matter seriously.

Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately turned around and walked towards Sandao Castle - he shouldn't have come at all, he regretted it. He had all kinds of ways to eliminate unhappiness, but Senahime didn't. She would only hide her depression and anger in her heart and taste it alone.

After seeing the lights in the residence of Mrs. Huaqingyuan, Tokugawa Ieyasu's stepmother, Sandaocheng's stepmother, stopped, took a deep breath, and felt heavy in his heart. He could not be as floating as usual, as if he was falling in love. When he went back, he would still visit Huaqingyuan and talk about family matters? Just as he was thinking of this, he suddenly saw a black shadow flashing in front of his window. The black shadow was not indoors but outside the window, and must have been peeking in the courtyard. Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't help but frown and leaned towards the black shadow quietly.

"Who?" he asked in a reproachful tone.

"Ah...ah?" The other party was in a mess. It turned out to be a young woman.

"Who?" Tokugawa Ieyasu asked again.

The other party became even more panicked. He curled up under the window. His voice was as soft as a mosquito. "Please...please...please forgive me."

"What's your name? Who sent you?"

"You...you are..."

"I am the master of this city. What is your intention? Peep here? Say it!"

"Ah, the city lord?" But you didn't seem to be in the room and the windows were not opened. "Please forgive me! I...I...I am Awan."

"A Wan? A Wan beside Zhushan?"

“Yes…yes.”

Tokugawa Ieyasu murmured, gritted his teeth hatefully, and then said, "Don't let people notice it. Come with me!"

“Yes…yes…yes.”

"Don't tremble, fool!"

Tokugawa Ieyasu was like a basin of cold water in winter, and he felt extremely unhappy. He just walked forward silently. The stars appeared faintly in the night sky. There were insects around him. After leaving Sandao Castle, from Jiugu to the racecourse, he realized that the moon had already come out. Although it was the crescent moon that was about to fall soon, it still seemed dazzling to his eyes that were used to the dark night.

"It's here." Tokugawa Ieyasu sat on the falling cherry blossom branches and looked back at Ah Wan, "Tell me the whole thing, if there is a lie, I will never let you go!" Why do you ask these things? Tokugawa Ieyasu also felt incredible, but he did suddenly become irritable.

"Please forgive me!" Ahwan no longer shivered like before. Under the moonlight, her face was as dignified as Khyou, but her expression was tragic. "It was not the wife's order, it was my own decision."

"You want to disobey my orders? Do you want to protect Zhushan?"

"No! No!" Awan shook his head seriously, "I dare not disobey the orders of my lord... I really do my own decision to do such a traitor."

"Oh." Tokugawa Ieyasu felt like he was tricked by this little girl, feeling hateful and ridiculous.

The woman came from Jun Mansion to accompany Sena Hime, who was Sena's personal maid. If she revealed everything her master ordered, Tokugawa Ieyasu might be even more unhappy.

"I heard you were born in the house of priests."

"Yes. My father is the eternal Shima Shuai of the Carp and the Ming God of Sanchichi."

“How old is it?”

"fifteen."

"A fifteen-year-old woman will actually make her own decisions and spy on others. What is the reason? Let me tell you?" Tokugawa Ieyasu asked deliberately and sternly.

Awan swallowed hard: "I said."

She answered firmly. This seemed to be a strong woman. After her mood gradually calmed down, she raised her head and looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu, her eyes flashing with a warm light: "Because...because of admiration."

"Admiring?" Tokugawa Ieyasu asked in surprise, "Who do you...are you...are you...are you going to the maid's room."

"I love Lord."

"Nothing! There is no love on your face. If you talk nonsense again, I won't forgive you!"

Awan swallowed again. She was fighting fiercely deep in her heart, her eyes wide open without blinking: "Everything I said is the truth."

"You went to that room because you loved me? Where did you know, would I go there?"

"If you really love someone, you don't need to... you don't need to ask, you can also know."

"I understand your thoughts. I envy my wife for having a maid like you, but will I believe what you said?"

"Whether the adults believe it or not, I'm telling the truth."

"Haha, okay. Actually, there is no need to ask. I also know that it was the lady who asked you to come and spy on my whereabouts. This ends here. However, why did the lady cancel the rituals for Agui?"

"Mrs. said she was unwell and she rested."

"Did she tell people not to touch the offerings and the sacrificial table? Otherwise, you will clean up again and are now offering sacrifices with Agui. Forget it, don't mention this. Since you are honest by nature, I will ask you again. Today, my wife and I have a quarrel. Who do you think is right and who is wrong? But it doesn't matter."

Ah Wan's expression was suddenly very panicked. She was obviously thinking in her heart, but her words surprised Tokugawa Ieyasu, "Even if Ah Wan answered, it would be unfair."

“Why?”

"Awan admires Lord, so when judging, he will definitely favor Lord."

"Haha, okay, you don't have to say anything more."

"But... I'm telling the truth. Whenever the adults sneak into that room, Awan is extremely sad."

Tokugawa Ieyasu's expression became serious again. Her ultimate goal was to maintain Tsubasa. Only then would she give the above explanation: "Do you say you love me?"

"yes."

"I'm going there. Why are you sad?"

"Because of jealousy."

"Jealousy...you know what jealousy is? You haven't touched a man at all."

"No, I know."

I don't know what Ah Wan thought of, she answered seriously. Tokugawa Ieyasu felt incredible and finally controlled himself, but didn't laugh: "Did you say you touched a man?"

"yes."

"How old is it?" Seeing Ah Wan being serious, Tokugawa Ieyasu gradually became irritated. What else would this little girl do for her master?

"Yes... it was when he was twelve years old." Awan replied carefully, as if he was recalling.

"Oh. You're very thoughtful! I heard that you started serving Sena at the age of thirteen. If you contact a man later, you will be sorry for your master. But before that, there is nothing wrong with it. Is he really twelve?"

Ahwan's body trembled suddenly, his eyes still full of vigilance. Tokugawa Ieyasu said, "Do you really respect your wife so much?"

"Yes. I'm proud of her."

"You are jealous of others, so what about your wife? Isn't she jealous?"

Awan did not answer.

"You know both the feeling of jealousy, and probably the psychology of your wife."

"Mrs. No...jealousy."

"No?" Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at Ahwan and blinked nervously, as if he saw Sena Hime's twisted affection, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Okay. Since that's the case, I believe you are."

“That’s true.”

"Since you love me, I can treat you with confidence. Zhushan is not jealous, everything is very tacit."

“…”

"Why do you show this expression? Since you have touched a man, come to me." Tokugawa Ieyasu smiled and stood up.

"Lord... lord!" Awan shouted. This was not the case. In order to cover Zhushan, she said too much. Zhushan's jealousy was so strong that it aroused Awan's disgust and revealed her flaws.

"What's wrong?" Tokugawa Ieyasuma turned his head carelessly, and said in a mocking tone, "The moon is about to go down the mountain. Come here while there is still light."

"Master..."

"Why are your expression so weird? After you go back, you tell your wife, and tell her... clearly that I want to marry you as your side room."

"Ah?" Ah Wan suddenly started to cry. This incredible and tender voice was very different from Chikayama, Yoshira, and You. Once the emotions accumulated in her heart broke out, it was like a mountain torrent. She cried and rushed towards Tokugawa Ieyasu. Her sudden and absurd actions made Tokugawa Ieyasu doubt whether she was holding a weapon. But she just snuggled tightly against Tokugawa Ieyasu's chest and cried.

"Lord... Please! You must keep the secret to... Mrs. Mrs...."
