Toyokawa Shoko was in a good mood.

If Naruzawa Kaede does it, then she'll have leverage over him, and can then make him do things he might not otherwise want to do. But if Naruzawa Kaede doesn't do it, Toyokawa Shoko is willing to reward him tonight.

When Xiangzi saw Xingyueling, his eyes lit up, and the other maids immediately asked, "Did you make it?"

Xingyueling took a breath and said, "Let it go."

Toyokawa Shoko frowned. "...Release them?"

Did she offer this option?

If it were free to be left anywhere, we wouldn't have locked up Triangle Chrysanthemum here.

The people in this villa are all elderly. Take Xingyue Feng and Xingyue Ling, for example; they were Xiangzi's playmates when he was a few years old, his older sisters from his childhood.

Although Xiangzi was too young to remember anything at that time, they had indeed held her when she was little. These trusted confidants were placed in this building to keep an eye on the restless Chu Hua.

To put it bluntly, this is still an internal power struggle within a wealthy family. A more ruthless person would have simply flooded Tokyo Bay. It's just that Toyokawa Shoko only kept Misumi Hatsuka under house arrest on the third floor of the villa.

Later, it was because Mitsumi Hatsuka insisted on spreading the news and even tried to threaten her with some kind of video that she was thrown into the basement to make Mitsumi Hatsuka reflect on her actions.

After a moment's thought, Toyokawa Shoko whispered in Hoshizuki Rin's ear.

"When the time comes... still don't allow her to access electronic devices, throw her back to the third floor, that's it. But embellishing things in front of Feng... never mind, no need."

"I remember you got a backup of the video recording from Mitsuba Chuka, right?"

Xingyueling nodded.

Shoko Toyokawa said, "Send it to me, and the projector will be ready too."

Across the table, Wakaba Mutsu looked at Shoko and said softly:

"Xiang, smile, lewd."

Chapter 81 Okay, she's coming up, so you're going down?

Although he was scolded, Xiangzi was not angry.

Ruo Yemu finally agreed to speak.

Just now, during dinner, Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsu had a long-awaited reunion. After informing Wakaba Mutsu that she could stay here for a long time, Wakaba Mutsu remained silent and simply ate her meal quietly.

Even when told that there was no need to worry about Minami, as she had personally taken care of the matter, Wakaba Mutsu remained expressionless, offering only submissive replies like "I understand" and "Okay."

Wakaba Mutsumi's calves were swinging leisurely under the stool. But Toyokawa Shoko couldn't see this.

If Ye Mu didn't seem as happy as Toyokawa Shoko had imagined, Toyokawa Shoko didn't know what to do for a moment, so she could only eat quietly.

The cutlery clinked against the porcelain bowls, and the restaurant was eerily silent. Toyokawa Shoko felt increasingly irritated and even less inclined to speak.

Just then, the maid Rin came up and reported the situation below.

Release people.

Check the video recording.

Adjusting Maple.

Then, what did Wakaba Mutsumi say...?

A lewd laugh?

Toyokawa Shoko raised her hand, touching the corner of her mouth, which did indeed have a slight, unconscious curve. The maid, Rin, gave her an "I understand" look and took a mirror from her bosom.

What kind of face does it look like in the mirror?

He was as handsome as ever, but now he wore a wicked smile, as if he had succeeded in his scheme.

Hehehe, or something like that.

Toyokawa Shoko looked at the maid beside her and asked, "Do I look lewd with my smile?"

"The young lady is the most beautiful."

The more beautiful the maid is, the more her salary will be doubled.

Toyokawa Shoko turned to look at Wakaba Mutsu. Wakaba Mutsu was still sitting at the table, staring silently at it. This blank expression made Toyokawa Shoko involuntarily purse her lips, and her desire to argue with her faded.

Mental confusion, spacing out...

Forget it, I'd better not provoke her with Feng.

They had originally planned to pack her up as a gift for Feng. But who would have thought that the man would head straight for the basement?

"Mutsu..." Toyokawa Shoko said softly, "If you're staying here permanently and need anything, just ask the maids... Is there anything you want?"

Wakaba Mutsu blinked.

What I want...

"The school... the cucumber seedlings are blooming. I want to go to school..."

"Of course, no problem. A car will take you to the Moon Forest afterwards."

Just as Toyokawa Shoko finished speaking, she noticed that Wakaba Mutsu was staring at her intently, without even blinking. This feeling was similar to when Narusawa Kaede sometimes stared at her blankly.

The difference is that Shoko Toyokawa enjoys Narusawa Kaede's gaze, but when facing Mutsuki Wakaba, Shoko feels like she's going to get goosebumps on her arms.

Uh ah...

At the company, Toyokawa Shoko is a respected leader, and she can act coquettishly around Narusawa Kaede.

But beside Wakaba Mutsumi...

Toyokawa Shoko's face turned aggrieved.

What's wrong? Why won't you just say what's on your mind?

Perhaps he sensed what Toyokawa Shoko was thinking.

Ruoye Mutsu asked, "...Xiang."

Toyokawa Shoko replied, "W-what's wrong?"

Mu asked, "Xiang, what is it that you want?"

"I...I don't have any thoughts."

Mu then said, "I just heard Feng..."

"Yes, him..."

Looking at the light in Wakaba Mutsu's eyes, Toyokawa Shoko began to speak, then stopped.

Toyokawa Shoko's face darkened, and she pulled her stool back and stood up.

"I don't want to talk... I have things to do... Mu, you can stay here and relax."

"..."

Wakaba Mutsu held the drink and slowly sipped through the straw.

The icy liquid was poured into his mouth, but Ruo Yemu did not swallow it. Instead, he used the coolness to clear his mind.

When exactly... it started?

Every conversation with Xiangzi ended abruptly and unhappily.

----Basement Level----

Toyokawa Shoko walked briskly, and Rin hurriedly followed behind her, having to jog every few steps to keep up.

Toyokawa Shoko felt an inexplicable sense of irritation.

Mu's words can instantly raise a person's blood pressure.

The maid stumbled behind her, and Toyokawa Shoko turned her head to glance at her, her eyes meeting those two objects swaying with the movement of the bell. Her expression darkened even further.

"Just now..."

"Ah...haa..." Rin gasped for breath, meeting Toyokawa Shoko's gaze. Seeing the young lady's furrowed brows, she forced a smile.

Seeing that her breathing had eased, Toyokawa Shoko asked with a displeased expression, "That lecherous guy, he didn't do anything to you, did he? What about Tsubaki...?"

Ling hurriedly waved her hand, chuckling foolishly, "Young Master, he's a pretty good person... After all, you don't know what that person did, and your first reaction upon seeing the girl imprisoned in the basement was to let her out. He doesn't seem like a bad person at all... Hehe..."

Toyokawa Shoko's face looked even worse.

Does he deserve your praise?

Toyokawa Shoko sneered, not turning her head, but her expression turned unfriendly. "He's so nice, why don't you go serve him tonight?"

The maid, Rin, was completely unaware of what was happening. She remained in a daze. After thinking it over carefully, she sighed and said, "Sigh, I want to sleep with you in my arms, Miss~ It's been a long time since we last saw each other since you started school, hasn't it? I used to tell you bedtime stories when you were little."

"I'm not a child anymore! What are you talking about?! I don't need bedtime stories anymore, Deswa!"

I was treated like a child...

Toyokawa Shoko's face grew redder as she listened, because she remembered the days after they had made love that night, when she would pester Narusawa Kaede to tell her stories.

Turning around, I saw Ling's naturally dazed expression.

Toyokawa Shoko felt a pang of regret; she realized she had gone too far. The other person was clearly a caring elder, like an older sister, yet she had been thinking all sorts of nonsense.

They are all harmonious...

No, we can't blame anyone else anymore, Xiangzi!

Toyokawa Shoko raised her hand and slapped her face. No matter what, using the Triangle Chuhua to train Naruzawa Kaede was now imperative, and the advantage was in her hands!

"..."

Also, this natural airhead...

"Anyway, he didn't touch your breasts, did he?"

"I'm worried," Toyokawa Shoko asked.

The basement passage was long and narrow. At the other end, Mingze Feng could see someone insulting him from afar. He quickened his pace and saw Xiangzi and the maid Ling.

Ling was frantically waving her hands back and forth, explaining her innocence, or rather, Narusawa Kaede's, to Toyokawa Shoko.

Seeing this, Mingze Feng was speechless. He hadn't even done anything yet, so why was Xiangzi being so jealous?

"...I'm not so desperate that I would reach out to any woman I see."

"...Who knows?"

Toyokawa Shoko tilted her head back and hummed softly, glancing at Rurikawa Tsubaki and Mikasa Hatsuka behind Narusawa Kaede. A slight smile played on her lips, but what she was really thinking about was how to make Mikasa Hatsuka the most effective.

Mingze Feng knew what she was thinking after just a few glances. The fact that she was considering it meant that letting someone go was still an option.

Mingze Feng took the initiative to walk up to Xiangzi, grasped his hand, and gently kneaded the knuckles of his palm.

Meeting Toyokawa Shoko's eyes, the girl forced herself to remain calm and glared at him fiercely, clearly telling him to behave.

Mingze Feng smiled and stepped aside, revealing the triangular Chuhua behind him.

"Xiangzi, look who I brought out."

Toyokawa Shoko glanced at Mikasa Hatsuka's simple attire and clicked her tongue.

Wasn't it supposed to be a purely physical relationship?

[Leave her naked there; you can have your fun with her. Why bring her up here...?]

"Feng, I've always heard you say that you and she have no feelings for each other. Now you're coming to me to plead for her sake?"

Those golden eyes stared at her without blinking. Toyokawa Shoko's lips curled down, looking utterly aggrieved.

Mingzefeng leaned close to her ear and whispered, "This has nothing to do with feelings, I just felt sorry for her... No one else told me what happened. Xiang, tell me, I'll just suppress her again if necessary."

"You're too magnanimous... These are all trivial matters. You're a great philanthropist, while I'm narrow-minded. I'll quietly hold her accountable for locking her up, okay?"

"Don't talk about yourself like that..."

Looking into Xiangzi's eyes, Mingze Feng said earnestly, "Do you think I don't know Xiangzi's character? She definitely brought this on herself. I'm just thinking, not even giving her clothes and throwing her into that dark, gloomy little room, isn't that a bit too much..."

"Really? Feng, you just want to take her out like this?"

Toyokawa Shoko glared at him, raising her chin. "What do you want by taking her out? Do you want me to turn myself in at the police station? Once I'm in there, you can go ahead and build your harem!"

"Of course not..."

Mingze Feng clicked his tongue in amazement.
