"Eh? Qingdeng, are you back?"

Sanako was the first to discover Aoden.

Qingdeng nodded gently and smiled:

"Well, I'm back."

In the Edo period, there were two main types of titles for wives to their husbands.

One is "Dana" and the other is "Master".

The former is the most commonly used, and everyone from the common people to nobles can call their husbands "Danna".

In comparison, the latter is much more formal.

Generally speaking, only those noble ladies with strict upbringing and good spiritual practice would use this title - and Sanako happened to be such a noble lady.

Therefore, on the day after the wedding, Sanako changed the name of Aoto, no longer "Tachibana-kun", but "Master" full of respect.

Regarding these titles and etiquette, both Ah Wu and the Chief Secretary were confused and did not understand them very well.

Seeing Sanako calling Qingteng "Master", they followed suit and started calling Qingteng "Master".

In this way, the three women each have a "master"——

Zuo: "Master, please let me help you change your clothes."

Mai: "Master, master... I followed your instructions and put on this yukata with a very short hakama..."

Si: "Master! Do you want to eat Jinping Candy?"

To be honest, every time he hears the three women calling him "Master", Qingdeng can't help but shudder, and indescribable emotions arise in his heart - he feels like some strange attribute is about to awaken!

Although this is a very ordinary and serious interaction between husband and wife, Qingdeng still feels that such a title is too weird, as if he is playing some strange game...

Ever since, at Qingdeng's strong request, the three women's names for him were uniformly changed to the solemn yet intimate "Qingdeng".

Sanako's "Are you back?" made Ah Wu, who was lying on the ground, also notice Qingden.

Seeing Qingdeng walking towards this side, Ah Wu stood up with her hands on the ground like a reflex.

Seeing this, Qingdeng quickly waved his hand and said:

"Your legs are cramped, so don't force yourself. Just lie down."

As he spoke, he quickened his pace, sat next to Sanako, and then put Awu's feet on his lap.

"How's it going? Do you feel better?"

He massaged A Wu's two white jade-like calves with ease.

Ah Wu let out a comfortable laugh "Hey hey hey".

"Well...I feel much better...As expected, Qingdeng's technique is the best...it won't leave red marks on my legs...Uh-huh~~Press harder on this part...~~"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sanazi on the side glared over fiercely.

"It feels like you are complaining about my poor technique in disguise?"

"I, I didn't say that..."

Ah Wu turned her head away silently, pouting her red lips, as if she was whistling, pretending to be stupid like "I didn't say anything" or "I don't know anything".

The three women are all married women, and there is no distinction between wives and concubines, so there is no clear distinction between superiors and subordinates.

Everyone is equal... That being said, as we all know, there is no absolute fairness in this world.

As the old saying goes, "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes."

As time went by, a vague hierarchical order eventually emerged among the three women.

The Souji, who has a gentle temperament and doesn't like fighting, is unlikely to fight for the "main palace". She was eliminated from the beginning.

So in the end, the only people who will compete for the position of "main palace" are Sanako and Amai.

The noble fox and the short-footed cat...what is the outcome? Is there any need to say?

If you just think about the contest between these two people, you will know what the outcome will be.

In this way, Sanako became the de facto "main palace lady" of the Tachibana family.

Of course, Sanako has never been domineering and arrogant because she is the "maison's wife".

She did not enjoy any benefits, but consciously shouldered more responsibilities.

Sanako is indeed the human embodiment of the term "Yamato Nadeshiko".

Virtues such as reserve, consideration, and humility have been integrated deep into his bones.

Ever since she married into the Tachibana family, she has always presented herself as the "perfect lady".

She methodically directs the waiters and guards in the mansion to maintain the daily operations of the Orange Mansion.

If these attendants made any mistakes, such as accidentally breaking dishes or chewing their tongues, she would deal with them in a fair and humane manner.

If her two sisters... A Wu and Souji encounter any trouble, she will always go to help as soon as possible.

For example, just now - Ah Wu's legs were cramped again. Although she was full of disgust, she still massaged her without hesitation.

In this way, she tried her best to support Qingdeng from the rear and never let Qingdeng worry about family affairs.

Over time, the waiters and guards of Orange Mansion respected her.

As for the second daughter... Needless to say, the chief minister, she doesn't care who will be the "main palace".

A Wu, who had always been at odds with Sanako, after witnessing Sanako's hard work, knew that she could not do better than her, so she had to agree that Sanako was the perfect candidate for "Mrs.

, recognize its status.

Facing the heroic Sanako, Ah Wu, who has a weak personality, is always in a "suppressed" position.

However, she was not helpless.

Whenever she wants to tease Sanako, she will use her tried-and-tested magic weapon: "Zonako, Tang Cabinet..."

Tang cabinet - this word seems to have some kind of magic power.

As soon as A Wu said this word, Sanako would feel as if he was struck by lightning. His whole body would freeze instantly, as if all the blood in his body was rushing to his head. His whole face would turn pink, and even his earlobes would be dyed pink.

, almost the best interpretation of the word "bright and dripping".

Immediately afterwards, she would pounce on Ah Wu like a hungry tiger pouncing on food! She tightly covered Ah Wu's mouth with a shy expression and stared at her with blurred eyes, preventing her from saying another word.

To this day, Qingteng still doesn’t know the story of Sanako and Tang Ke...

One day, because he couldn't restrain his curiosity, he secretly ran to Ah Wu with Sanazi on his back and asked what the "story of the Tang cabinet" was all about.

What a pity... Ah Wu seems to only want to use this secret to tease Sanako, and has no intention of actually using it to hurt Sanako.

Even if Qingdeng asked him personally, it would not work.

She smiled a strange and meaningful smile, shook her head, and said she had no comment.

Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that she just wants to keep this to herself.

It has to be said that humans are really complex creatures.

Before getting married, Qingdeng thought he already knew Ah Wu very well.

But after getting married and living under the same roof, he had more in-depth contact with the three women, and then he realized belatedly that A Wu actually had a rather sinister side...

Whenever Amai was about to tell "The Story of Tang Cabinet", Sanako would be extremely nervous, and even Yamato Nadeshiko's gentle image could not be taken into account.

Judging from his appearance... Sanako is really afraid that Amu will spread the secret.

If Ah Wu keeps talking about "the story of Tang Cabinet" and repeatedly stimulates Sanazi... Qingden suspects that the latter will probably take extreme measures to make the former "shut up" completely...

However, the wonderful thing about Ah Wu is that she knows this secret very well!

She would only use this "magic weapon" very occasionally - for example, when she suddenly wanted to see Sanako become so angry.

It's like jumping back and forth on the edge of the law.

Wiping the red line, teasing Sanako repeatedly, but not causing the other person to break the jar.

Although Sanako felt sad and angry, there was nothing he could do about her.

Therefore, Qingteng’s harem is really interesting.

There is a sunny Shiba Inu who stays out of the fight, but when necessary, can be more reliable than the "main palace".

There is a noble fox who is clever in his methods, takes the lead in setting an example, has extraordinary charm, and is firmly in the position of "main palace".

There is a short-legged cat who is suppressed by the "Main Palace" but possesses a powerful weapon to defeat the "Main Palace".

In this way, a delicate balance is formed between them...the order of the harem is extremely stable!

…

Out of personal preference, Qingdeng has always enjoyed the job of "massaging Ah Wu's legs".

While he was pressing Ah Wu's legs, he asked Sanazi beside him:

"Zanako, where is Xiaosi?"
