After meal.

The servants removed the small table.

Uchiha Madara sat in the main seat, looked at the two children who had come to seek refuge, and said in a deep voice: "Since you are here, just stay here with peace of mind."

Hojo Aya hesitated and wanted to speak, but because of the opponent's power, he didn't dare to say anything. This can't be blamed on her, because Uchiha Madara's power is indeed getting stronger with his age and combat experience.

Sometimes some ordinary ninjas are speechless when they see him.

Moreover, she was also worried that speaking without permission would cause trouble to her sister.

Although Hojo Ken was worried, he also knew that this was not the occasion for him to speak.

Uchiha Madara looked at the anxious expressions of the two young people, and immediately understood that his wife had not made her decision known. After thinking about it, he understood what she meant. In fact, it doesn't have to be like this, he really doesn't care about other people's opinions, but,

Her thoughtfulness really made him feel at ease.

Thinking of this, his eyes and expression became a little gentle unconsciously, and he continued: "I will have someone send a letter to the Hojo family later to tell them about this."

"Huh?" Hojo Aya's face suddenly glowed with hope, "Really?" Can they really not be sent back? Can they stay together with peace of mind?

"Madara-sama, there is no need to lie about this matter." Uchiha said with a smile, "So, Aya, Ken, just stay here in peace."

"Hmm~"

"For the time being, you can live in the courtyard where Megumi used to live." Uchiha Madara continued, "Both the location and the layout are very good." This can be considered preferential treatment. After all, in the past... Although he and Megumi had a normal relationship

, but he did not treat her poorly. The courtyard where she lived was second only to him in the clan.

Izuna?

Quan Na is not married anyway, so there is no need for a separate courtyard. Well, Quan Na can just stay with him. How can brothers be so far apart?

Of course, she is the same now, she is not allowed to be too far away from him, she just stays by his side.

"In the past?" Hojo Aya tilted her head and asked curiously, "Then where does my sister live now?"

"Of course you live with me." Uchiha Madara replied in a matter-of-fact tone.

Hojo Aya: "..." OK...she is talking too much.

"Everyday necessities are available there. If you need anything, just ask for it directly. In a few days, new autumn clothes will be made at home, and I will make some for you then." Uchiha Madara said some more. For him,

This is actually very rare, because he really doesn't care about this, so after saying a few words, he turned to look at his younger brother, "Izuna, I'll leave it to you."

"Okay." Uchiha Izuna nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, brother, I will take care of it."

Hojo Aya tilted her head again: Huh? Isn't it my sister who handles the chores in the inner house?

Uchiha Izuna saw through the thoughts of this "sister-in-law who came to join my brother" at a glance, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that Sister Hui is not in good health. Otherwise, it would be more appropriate for her to come to help you make arrangements in person."

"No, it's okay..." Hojo Aya felt a huge pressure from the other person's smile for some reason, and replied with some stuttering, "It's already fine." At the same time, she was secretly stunned, the men in this family... are all good.

"Ferocious"... But my sister seems to have gotten used to it. Well, she is worthy of being a sister.

Uchiha Madara saw the other person's discomfort and timidity, and didn't care much, because he was really used to it. He just said: "Okay, you guys have worked hard all the way, go and have a rest. From now on, if you want to eat with us,

Let's come together. If you don't want to, just ask the servants to send it to you alone. Don't worry about it, just do whatever you want. Hmm..." He turned to look at his wife and asked in a low voice, "Do you give pocket money to... children of your age?

?" Their family doesn't have this habit, because when they were twelve or thirteen years old, they did their own missions and went to the battlefield. They had the same "mission money" as the clan members. Who would ask their parents for money? But after all, my sister-in-law is a woman and not a ninja.

,so……

Uchiha recalled Kei's memory, nodded, and replied in a low voice: "I'll give it to you." After all, girls who practice bridal practice at home don't have many other ways to make money...

"Oh." Uchiha nodded, "Then I will have someone give it to you on a monthly basis starting from tomorrow."

In fact, maybe this should be discussed in private, but he has always been a straightforward person, and he is too lazy to use euphemisms. He just says whatever comes to his mind. But as the old saying goes, if he can do this, he is indeed quite good. Even if he is the head of the Hojo clan,

He probably doesn't get the same treatment here.

Therefore...

Hojo Aya suddenly showed a flattered expression.

But Ken Hojo leaned over and said, "Thank you very much, but Madara-sama, I don't have to."

"Huh?" Uchiha Madara raised an eyebrow, and then he saw a young man not far away who boldly replied, "I am a ninja. When the injury is healed, I can support myself with my ability." And Miss Aya. However,

It is normal for Sister Hui to give pocket money to Miss Aya, her sister. He does not feel that he is qualified to make irresponsible remarks about this.

"That's it." Uchiha Madara raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but he didn't dislike this young man who was confident and willing to be self-reliant, so he nodded his head, "Then after you recover from your injury, go find Izuna."

Uchiha Izuna smiled and nodded.

Ken Hojo bowed and saluted again, expressing his inner gratitude.

Hojo Aya pursed her lower lip with some worry, but she didn't say anything, because...even a woman like her knows one thing very clearly - if you are unable to accompany the other person on the battlefield, you must accept it.

The fate waiting at home.

No matter who you are, there is no exception.

As for my sister... she should be used to endless waiting... After all, the target is the leader of the Uchiha clan, and my father said that Madara-sama is one of the strongest people in the world today.

But then again...

Hojo Aya suddenly felt that this "Madara-sama" was not so fierce. After all, he had just wanted to give her pocket money when he came here. Thinking of this, she boldly said: "Thank you, thank you, brother-in-law..."

"

Hojo Ken: "!!!"

Uchiha belt: "???"

Uchiha Izuna couldn't help laughing.

Uchiha Madara said "huh?" and asked in surprise: "What did you call me?"

"Sister, brother-in-law." Hojo Aya heard that the other party was not angry, so she answered boldly again, "Madara-sama, you are my sister's husband, so is it okay for me to call you 'brother-in-law'?"

Madara Uchiha raised his eyebrows, thinking that she was really a bold little girl. However, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, nodded, and agreed: "There is indeed no problem, so just shout like this."

Uchiha tape: "..." Hey!

"Yeah!" Hojo Aya was convinced. Maybe she did have some misunderstandings about this "brother-in-law". Although he looked fierce, he seemed to be quite easy to get along with? Of course, the premise of all this is that he seems to value his sister very much, so

, they must have a good relationship~ Sure enough, rumors cannot be taken as true, they must be seen to be believed.

So, she happily took the little bamboo horse with her. She didn't think there was anything wrong with the two of them living in the same yard, because Jian had been her secret guard since she was a child, and he could be said to have grown up with her.

Whenever she was unhappy, she would tell Ajian. Although he was not very good at talking, he would always try to find a way to comfort her.

Sometimes it's a pack of snacks, sometimes it's a wooden sculpture, sometimes it's a book...it's different every time. Sometimes she pretends to be unhappy, and Jian clearly sees it, but never says anything, just like her

Give her gifts to comfort her as she desires.

Therefore, she couldn't think of any reason not to choose Ah Jian and choose someone else.

As for the "responsibility of a daughter of the Hojo family"...if she marries high like her sister, it is indeed a responsibility that must be fulfilled. However, her parents intend to let her marry low. In that case, even if they do not "use" her, they will use gold and silver.

Money scrolls and weapons can be used to win over people's hearts, right? She didn't feel that she had to do it, so she escaped decisively.

Then, make up your mind that you will never regret it.

...I hope Ajian will be the same.

It's night.

In the bedroom.

Uchiha Madara sat at the desk and carefully wrote the documents he was going to send to the Hojo family. Although he could leave it to his younger brother Izuna, he felt that since he personally took care of this matter, he should do it in person.

.

Uchiha sat aside. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Otherwise... you can also bring a letter from me and send it over."

"Huh?" Uchiha Madara paused the pen in his hand, raised his head and said, "What do you want to say to them?"

Uchiha pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Let Aya and Ken go, and we will be clean." She thought that the Hojo family should agree to this condition. After all, as long as she is alive, as long as

She is still "hateful". As long as she can have an influence on the men of the Uchiha clan leader's family, they can't feel at ease, right?

"Are you serious?" Uchiha Madara asked, "You still hate them in your heart, right?" Tsk, although he didn't really want to mention this topic, but now that she mentioned it, he wouldn't escape. But then again

When he comes back, even if the Hojo family doesn't do anything, if he meets that man, he will tear him apart in an upright fight.

In fact, Izuna told him privately that although the Hojo family said that, that man may not be real... But he didn't want to continue the investigation, and he didn't want to pursue too much. It would be meaningless. If he was not careful, the Hojo family would be

Be alert. Secondly, compared to these, wouldn't it be better to catch her directly? As long as she is willing to fall into his hands, those boring past and irrelevant people are nothing, they are not worth mentioning.

"...Yes." Uchiha took a deep breath and said slowly, "Of course I hate them, but I really won't retaliate against them. So, as far as the result is concerned, I didn't lie."

At this point, she paused and said apologetically, "Hui... her dream during her lifetime was to be free and not to be like a piece of cargo, being carried from one family to another and placed in the most conspicuous place."

The position is open to observation like a trophy or a symbol." She looked at the man in front of her and continued, "Of course, Madara-sama, I know you definitely don't think so. It's just... you didn't think well.

Communicate it to her, and vice versa."

"Yeah." Uchiha nodded, "I know."

"So, I think... if Kei Pure Land has knowledge, he will definitely hope that Aya can be free. Although... in this era, true freedom may not be found..." Uchiha Oidi sighed slightly, "But at least, there is

The right to choose your own lover and marriage.”

"Yeah." Uchiha Madara nodded again, "You're right." Before meeting her, he didn't think it was necessary, but now his mind has changed.

"Megumi... is my benefactor and has always been." Uchiha Ochi said with a firm expression, "So, in order to fulfill her wish, I am willing to do anything."

"Okay." Uchiha Madara nodded for the third time, and then handed her the pen in his hand, "Let's write it and mail it along with my paperwork. Let's set Hui's sister free together."

"Um!"

The author has something to say: Poor communication is really the cause of many problems...
