My new wife discovered my past

Hoshimi Haruka was not surprised when she received the message from Watanabe Tetsuya.

Today is a good day for him and that Sakuraba Miki. If she, the shrine maiden, is not present... who will protect Shimizu Noriko for them? Do the two parties have to be distracted when they are doing their work?
The most important thing is that without her, all the arrangements for the afternoon would be difficult.

Hoshimi Haruka had reasons to get deeply involved.

When Hoshimi Haruka thought about the fact that her brother Toru would hug Sakuraba Mihime and do whatever she wanted in the afternoon, her heart was bleeding.

hateful! hateful!
If it were another woman, Xing Jianyao wouldn't care even if she witnessed the battlefield with her own eyes, she would just think of it as her brother Toru going to practice his skills!
Although Tetsuya Watanabe's skills have been perfected to the point of perfection, Haruka Hoshimi is no longer surprised by such things.

But there was only one exception that Xing Jianyao couldn't bear, and just thinking about it made her heart break.

Not surprisingly, the woman was Sakuraba Miki, who was somewhat similar to Watanabe Naoko.

But it just so happened that her brother Toru's target in the afternoon was Sakuraba Miki. Not only that, Hoshimi Haruka had to escort the two men and women throughout the whole process to ensure that the matter could be completed successfully and normally...

What's the difference between this and Hoshimi Haruka putting a little red hat on herself! ?

Ah ah ah ah ah! ! ! ! !
When she thought of Brother Toru and Princess Sakuraba hugging each other tightly face to face on the tatami, Hoshimi Haruka couldn't help but roar in her heart.

However, no matter how unwilling she was, it was of no avail. Sakuraba Miki was the most powerful external force and disruptive factor in their group. With her attracting attention and firepower, it would be much easier for Watanabe Toru and Hoshimi Haruka to act privately.

Xing Jianyao tried hard to calm down and give herself a final psychological comfort.

She was not the foolish woman like Saotome Hazuki who could not understand the situation. The most important thing at the moment was to pull Sakuraba Miki into the group chat in the afternoon to facilitate further planning for the palace fight to seize power...

Things have developed to this point. I must not show the slightest sign of something being wrong in front of Sister Jiko in the afternoon, and I must hide my true emotions.

Hoshimi Haruka does not expect to be able to maintain a calm and good attitude when facing Sakuraba Miki in the next two months, but there must be no mistakes this afternoon!
She also believed that as long as she could get through this afternoon, she would be able to remain calm and composed when she sat with Princess Sakuraba again.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Hoshimi Haruka, who felt less painful after gently massaging herself for the whole morning after Watanabe Toru left, got up, put on some simple makeup, got dressed, and went to the banquet with her subordinates.

Xing Jianyao was not afraid that her actions would attract the attention of her aunt and others. She did not do anything out of line. She was just invited to have a meal and play with sister Jiko. Is that not allowed?
Not only does Hoshimi Haruka want to go, but she also wants to make a big announcement so that everyone in the shrine knows about it!
Compared to Hoshimi Haruka who can sort out all her thoughts and ideas from head to toe, Sakuraba Mihime is much more pitiful.

Ever since receiving the note from Mr. Watanabe, Sakuraba has been feeling confused, with unsteady steps and no idea of ​​what time is.

After receiving the invitation to the "Hongmen Banquet" from Sister Kiko, Sakuraba Miki realized that this was about to be the most important moment in her life!

She felt conflicted, but also excited from the bottom of her heart. The uncontrollable emotions surged into every cell of her body, and Sakuraba Miki took a bath driven by instinct.

She washed every part of her body carefully and meticulously, applying expensive and commonly used shower gel and body lotion, leaving no gap untouched.

Especially certain parts and places even received special care from Princess Sakuraba.

Like the back of the earlobe, the neck and back of the neck above the clavicle and broken bones, the clean and white armpits, the arc-shaped fat underneath, and even the gaps between the toes... Sakuraba Princess did not miss anything.

After taking a shower, Sakuraba Miki did not put on her clothes immediately. Looking at herself in the mirror, she could clearly feel herself trembling with nervousness.

Holding her heartbeat and taking a few deep breaths, Sakuraba Miki cheered herself up. After she slowly realized that her consciousness had taken over her body again, she gradually changed into the clothes she had prepared last night, and put on light and beautiful makeup with the help of her personal maids.

It was not until this moment that Sakuraba Miki realized that there was no turning back.

She won't look back.

As long as she can help Mr. Watanabe, Sakuraba can give him everything she has.

Not to mention that what she was asked to do this time was something she had secretly fantasized about...

The only thing that made Sakuraba Miki feel confused was that her behavior was undoubtedly a betrayal to her sister Noriko.

The only way of compensation that Sakuraba Miki could think of was to use her life to make up for the mistakes she had made.

She had already made up her mind that when Mr. Watanabe regained his freedom and led a happy life, Sakuraba Miki would withdraw without hesitation and end her own life.

Sakuraba Miki was very thoughtful. She would not tell Noriko's sister the reason, nor would she leave any suicide note or apology letter for her. She would not suddenly treat Noriko's sister coldly, making her think that her death was related to her and making Noriko Shimizu feel guilty.

Princess Sakuraba will only maintain the close relationship between the two parties until the last moment, and then deal with the aftermath calmly and easily.

This is Sakuraba Miki's unswerving determination.

Originally, she thought she was the only outsider at lunch, so when she saw the shrine's Hoshimi Miko under the attic corridor, Sakuraba Princess was visibly stunned for a moment.

The girl quickly adjusted her composure. She remembered that Teacher Watanabe once said that Hoshimi Miko was also an important and indispensable role in the team, so she was no longer so suspicious and surprised about her arrival.

But...what happened between me and Mr. Watanabe this afternoon, could it be that Hoshimi Miko will also be involved?
Sakuraba Miki's face turned red with embarrassment. She just greeted Hoshimi Haruka and then looked away, not daring to think about it anymore.

He gritted his teeth secretly, and when he walked to the girl's side, he saw the carefully dressed Sakuraba Miki, stared at her face for a while, and then said with a smile:
"Is Miss Sakuraba-san also invited by Brother Toru to have lunch?"

Xing Jianyao had to say such polite words. Wouldn't she be exposed if she didn't?
In front of so many priestesses, I wonder how many of them are Mari Hidaka's spies. If Hoshimi Haruka took Sakuraba Miki's arrival for granted, doesn't that mean she knew from the beginning that Sakuraba Miki would also come to have lunch?
details make a difference.

Xing Jianyao would never leave any mistakes in such a small matter.

She pretended to be completely ignorant, with suppressed anger after seeing Sakuraba Mihime, and also a dagger hidden in her smile. No one could tell whether there was any sincerity in her smile or not, but it did a good job of concealing the fact that Hoshimi Haruka knew the inside story.

As for Hoshimi Haruka's deliberate courtesy, Sakuraba Miki realized the reason for her behavior after being stunned for a moment. She also nodded in cooperation without any expression and walked through the corridor with her.

Because of Watanabe and Noriko's instructions, after seeing Hoshimi Haruka and Sakuraba Miki, the priestess went to inform them in advance.

The couple, who had been waiting eagerly, welcomed the guests into the room and began to entertain them.

Since Noriko had difficulty moving around, Watanabe was the main host and Noriko's job was to talk and chat with them.

"I and Tetsuya-kun were inconsiderate for not telling Xiaoyao and Mihime in advance that there would be other people present at lunch today." Noriko smiled apologetically and said:
"But looking at the two sisters, did you know each other in advance?" At this moment at the Hidaka Shrine, Sakuraba Miki did not steal the show, but took a sip of the black tea and let Hoshimi Haruka respond.

Hoshimi Haruka cooperated very well and said with a smile: "When I went to Tokyo for work before, I met Miss Sakuraba once or twice, so we know each other."

Xing Jianyao did not elaborate on when they met or how they got to know each other.

Sakuraba Miki nodded in agreement. She asked what they would have for lunch today, turning the topic to other places.

Facing Noriko Shimizu, the two women tacitly formed a common front temporarily. This was not only a confrontation with the natural oppression when facing the queen, but also an early adaptation for future team cooperation.

Perhaps because of her pregnancy, or because she was tempted by Watanabe, Kiko's insensitivity was maxed out. She was not as sensitive and accurate as before she formally established a relationship with Watanabe. Faced with the joint efforts of Hoshimi Haruka and Sakuraba Miki, she was unable to react at all.

Watanabe sat next to him early. Seeing that the three women controlled the scale of the conversation very well and there was no expected swordplay, he felt relieved.

As for the front line formed by the two women on the opposite side, Watanabe didn't care at all. It was enough that he didn't put direct pressure on Kiko or bring harm to her.

It was almost time for dinner, and Watanabe stood up and asked the priestess to prepare the meal.

At some point, the women's conversation turned back to the baby in Keiko's belly.

Sakuraba Mihime was still quite reserved. She sat quietly the whole time, occasionally lifting her black hair that hung by her ear. Taking advantage of the moment when she raised her hand to block the side of his face, she quietly cast her watery eyes lightly on Watanabe Tetsuya's face, and then quickly looked away.

Hoshimi Haruka didn't have so many concerns. She ran straight to Kiko's side, bent down, and laid her ear lightly on Kiko's lower abdomen.

She raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet and stop talking, while concentrating and listening to the movements of Jizi's lower abdomen:
"Don't say anything, let auntie listen to the baby's voice!"

Jiko smiled gently and lightly, enjoying Hoshimi Haruka's compliments and intimacy very much, so she did not stop Hoshimi Haruka's bold actions.

Apart from Tetsuya Watanabe, Haruka Hoshimi is the second person to receive such treatment. Even Noriko's parents, the Shimizu couple, have never done such a thing.

"Hey!! I heard a sound when it moved! The baby actually kicked me!!"

I don't know whether it's true or not, but Xing Jianyao carefully moved away from Ji Zi's belly with a look of surprise, and then said excitedly that if she wasn't concerned about her identity, she might jump for joy.

Jiko was amused by Hoshimi Haruka. She covered her mouth and her eyes narrowed with laughter. She looked like she was enjoying it very much.

Sakuraba Miki was attracted by Hoshimi Haruka's performance. She felt unbelievable and subconsciously looked at her sister Kiko's belly and calculated the days.

"It's only been more than three months? Is there any movement already?" Sakuraba Miki was full of confusion.

Watanabe Tetsuya rolled his eyes and told Hoshimi Haruka to sit down obediently. Then he explained to Sakuraba Miki: "Sakuraba-san, don't listen to her nonsense. The shrine maidens of our Hidaka Shrine have been brainwashed by all kinds of supernatural phenomena in the shrine and the town. They don't follow science at all."

"Brother, what do you mean? What's true is true, and what's false is false. Can I lie to you?

"If you don't believe me, go ask Sister Kiko if the baby made any movement just now." Hoshimi Haruka smoothed her shrine maiden hakama and sat down again, saying calmly.

Kiko's smile faded a lot after being dragged into the water. Seeing her husband Watanabe and sister Mihime looking at her, she curved her eyebrows, gave Watanabe Tetsuya a meaningful look, and nodded slightly: "Yes, Xiaoyao sister is right."

Since Xiaoyao was willing to help her out in order to please her, Jiko felt that she should return the favor instead of betraying her good sister.

"Ah!?" Sakuraba Miki was completely shocked.

However, Watanabe easily read the real situation from the eyes of his newlywed wife. Feeling helpless, he could only smile and shake his head, and withdrew early, not wanting to get involved in such matters.

Among the four people, one man and three women present, only Sakuraba Miki was kept in the dark and knew nothing. She glanced at Noriko's belly several times foolishly, looking like she was about to make a move.

Who doesn't know what Sakuraba Princess is thinking?
Seeing this, Sister Jiko generously invited Sister Yuji to come and listen.

"Sister Yuji, do you want to try it yourself? After all, seeing is believing, hearing is not."

The priestesses held the dishes one by one and began to arrange them. Watanabe Tetsuya and Hoshimi Haruka directed them to arrange the dishes, while not forgetting to complain:
"How do you see this? You use your ears to listen, right?"

Noriko raised her slender and beautiful chin, as if to act coquettishly with Watanabe: "Hey, Tetsuya-kun, don't worry about these trivial details~!"

Xing Jianyao ignored the annoying sweetness between the couple and urged Sakuraba Miki: "If Miss Sakuraba doesn't believe it, go and hear it for yourself."

Unable to resist her curiosity, Sakuraba Miki's movements were even more cautious than Hoshimi Haruka. After putting her ear on sister Kiko's lower abdomen, she closed her eyes and listened quietly to the rhythm of life.

However, it was not as strong and powerful as Haruka Hoshimi described, nor was there any obvious feeling of being kicked.

"Did you feel it?" Xingjian Yao smiled proudly.

After sitting back down, Sakuraba Miki opened her mouth and finally shook her head honestly: "No..."

Seeing the smile that could not be suppressed on Sister Kiko's face, and the look of Mr. Watanabe who did not care at all, Sakuraba Miki reacted belatedly. She tilted her head and raised a soul-stirring question:

"Really?"

The pregnancy is only over three months old. Although the fetus is basically formed, it is not yet fully developed. How could there be such obvious rhythm?

Watanabe Toru also thought this was meaningless and said directly: "Anyway, I have never encountered this in these days."

Xing Jianyao immediately retorted, "It's your fault that you didn't hear it. Anyway, I definitely felt it. Maybe the baby likes me as his aunt more!"

As he spoke, Xing Jianyao smiled proudly: "Looking at it this way...

"I have a connection with the child of Toru and Noriko~" (End of this chapter)
