A few days later.

Mrs. Hojo, who had sent her greetings in advance, came with her people, and then, under the guidance of the servants of the Uchiha clan, they went to the small courtyard where her daughter lived.

She stood at the door, looking at the courtyard that seemed to have regained a little life compared to the last time she came here, feeling inexplicable in her heart. She originally thought that her daughter would not survive this spring, but she was able to receive good news. As a mother, he was still very happy.

She was gratified. However, when she thought of her daughter’s sudden severance from the family without saying a word, she inevitably felt a layer of worry in her heart. Could it be that...

Different from the previous times, her daughter did not lie on the bed in the bedroom to see her, but knelt down dignifiedly in the living room.

"Mother." When Uchiha saw Mrs. Hojo coming in, he turned slightly and gave a half salute, then waved his hand and asked the servants who brought the latter to step back.

Seeing her daughter acting like this, Mrs. Hojo was not only not angry, but also showed some admiration. That’s right, she had already told her daughter that since she is the wife of the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, she should show her confidence and

Dignity. In this way, maybe Madara-sama, who has a proud temperament, can look up to her. Unfortunately, Megumi seems to have no desire for her husband's favor and status in Uchiha.

With such thoughts in mind, she knelt down and bowed behind her, then sat up straight and asked solemnly: "Master Hui, how are you doing lately?"

Although both gestures and words are too distant and ritualistic, however...

Hidden within it, the mother's concern for her child was still clearly noticed by Uchiha Oichi.

This made Uchiha, who originally wanted to question everything immediately, couldn't help but be stunned. She suddenly thought of the dignified and elegant lady in front of her...

She will probably never know that her daughter passed away not long ago. The person sitting in front of her now and the person who will die in the future are just a lonely ghost.

Thinking of this, she pursed her lower lip and whispered: "It's okay... What about you? Where are the others? How are they doing recently?"

Mrs. Hojo breathed an inconspicuous sigh of relief, and then began her statement.

the other side.

The men of the patriarch's family also knew about Mrs. Hojo's visit. After hearing this, Uchiha Yōu wanted to run away to his mother, but Uchiha Teru grabbed him by the collar and asked: "Xiao Yōu,

What are you going to do?"

"Every time mom hears something related to the Hojo family, she gets very unhappy! So they must be bullying mom!" Uchiha Yoshi, who was only two years old, replied in a particularly organized manner, "Brother! Let me go! I

I have to protect my mother!"

Uchiha Teru: "..." He didn't know about this. He only knew that his mother had repeatedly rejected the Hojo family's request to visit. Now that his brother said this, he suddenly became worried.

Hojo and Uchiha each have their own clans. Due to the current situation and the identity of the Megumi family, the frequency of visits from the Hojo family is not very high. Therefore, the brothers Uchiha Teru and Uchiha Yoshi do not have much exposure to their grandfather's family.

Regarding feelings, this cannot be said to be indifferent, it can only be said that feelings require time to get along, and the attitude of parents will obviously also affect their children.

Uchiha Madara values ​​the Hojo family, but only because he values ​​them. He is not the type to show off his emotions wantonly.

From a personal and selfish perspective, Uchiha Izuna did not want his two nephews to be too influenced by other families when they were still young, so he would not deliberately mention his grandfather's family in front of them.

As for Megumi...

Since she felt that she had become a "contract guarantee", she had become more or less separated from her family. Of course, she knew very well that she had lived a life of fine clothing and food in the Hojo clan since she was a child, so she should take on the responsibility of providing for the family when necessary.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling she was, she still gritted her teeth and married the person she was afraid of, married and had children with him, leaving behind descendants with the blood of the Hojo family.

Therefore, before she died, she felt that she had nothing to owe her family, so she could repeatedly refuse the Hojo family's request to meet.

Of course she never said anything bad about the Hojo family in front of her children, but it was still the same old saying...

Children are so sensitive.

Therefore, at this moment, Uchiha Yao was determined to go to his mother's side.

Uchiha Teru subconsciously grabbed his brother.

Uchiha Izuna subconsciously looked at his brother.

Uchiha Madara thought for a moment, then walked decisively in front of his two sons, leaned down and hugged the second son, and said, "Let's go see your mother."

Uchiha Yō suddenly smiled and even raised his hands and cheered: "Okay!" Over this period of time, through the words and deeds of Uchiha Oichi and Uchiha Madara's deliberate indulgence, he was no longer afraid of his father.

Uchiha Teru quickly followed.

Uchiha Izuna shook his head helplessly, thinking: In this battle, my brother looks like he is dragging his entire family to trouble his mother-in-law.

Then, he grumbled in his heart and followed suit, ahem, not out of curiosity or wanting to eat, just to see if there was anything he could do to help.

the other side.

The pleasantries between Ochiha Uchiha and Mrs. Hojo have almost come to an end. In summary, everything is fine in the Hojo family, but Ochiha Uchiha...

She didn't lie, she said bluntly: "Although I survived the previous danger, my body is indeed exhausted and I won't be able to survive for long."

The Hojo family is Megumi's mother's family after all, so they should still be informed of this.

"..." Mrs. Hojo was stunned. She looked at her daughter in disbelief, who was obviously much more energetic than the last time they met, and subconsciously asked, "Mr. Hui, are you kidding me?"

"Do you think," the Uchiha asked, "that I would make fun of life and death?"

"...How could this be?" Mrs. Hojo murmured, and then tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn't help but raise her sleeves to wipe the corners of her eyes, "My poor daughter, you are obviously still so young..."

Uchiha Oichi was about to open his mouth to comfort him when he heard the other person say again——

"What your father told me before leaving home, I thought I didn't need to tell you, but now it seems... I have to tell you..."

"?"

Mrs. Hojo looked at her "daughter"'s doubtful eyes and said slowly: "Mr. Megumi, your two children are still very young, one is only six years old and the other is only two years old. And if you pass away, they will become

Without a mother who loves a child, none of us can guarantee that Madara-sama will not remarry his wife. After all, there are many people who covet this position, and you should be aware of it."

Uchiha Madara: "..." She pursed her lips slightly. To be honest, she was not very willing to imagine the two children living under the stepmother from now on. However, this is Uchiha Madara's freedom, and although the world treats stepmothers

She is biased, but not every stepmother is a bad person. She also believes that the man who loves his children and the cheap brother-in-law who also loves his nephew will be carefully screened before getting married.

"Maybe the newly married lady is not a bad person, but," Mrs. Hojo continued as if she had seen through the thoughts of the person in front of her, and seemed to have been prepared for it, "she must be very young, and Madara-sama is also very young. They

There will definitely be children of my own, one, two or three...perhaps like Madara-sama’s parents, they will have five more children. By then, Hui-sama, what will your children be?”

"..."

"Yes, Hui is the eldest son, but strictly speaking, our Uchiha family is not the eldest son, but the one who has the ability. If Hui loses to the new wife's child in the battle for the clan leader's successor in the future, he and the new wife's child will

Hui-sama, can you really not imagine how embarrassing this situation will be for Yao Jiang?"

"...Then what do you think I should do?" Uchiha, who had vaguely guessed something, asked in a less than pleasant tone, "We can't kill the current clan leader on the spot and let Xiao Hui ascend the throne as the clan leader.

"

"Mr. Megumi, please be careful what you say! Be careful if your words fall into Madara-sama's ears." After Mrs. Hojo scolded her like this, she looked around nervously, although the "daughter" in front of her had already dispersed the servants before the conversation.

Secret guard, but she was still a little worried that what she just said would fall into other people's ears.

Uchiha Madara, who was walking into the courtyard with his children and brothers: "..." It's too late, it has already entered my ears. Tsk, who made his ears so sharp?

In fact, not only him, but his younger brother Izuna also heard it.

Fortunately, the two sons did not hear the fact that their mother wanted to "murder her husband."

Uchiha Izuna raised his hand to cover his mouth. Of course, he didn't think these were his sister-in-law's sincere words, and he also guessed why she said such words out of anger. However, how to put it... it was... a bit funny.

"Even if he heard it, he wouldn't be angry," Ochiha Uchiha couldn't help but complain, "Maybe he thinks I'm brave enough and capable." Don't ask, it's just intuition.

Mrs. Hojo: "..." Daughter, are you serious? It seems that Master Madara's mind is different from ordinary people...

Uchiha Izuna couldn't help but laugh out loud, because looking at his brother's expression, he seemed to really think so.

The two brothers, Uchiha Teru and Uchiha Yō, looked at their uncle in surprise, not knowing why.

Uchiha Madara looked at his younger brother helplessly. However, if the woman who just said "nonsense" really dared to use the knife on him, he would indeed find it quite "exciting". But since she dared to do so, she would

Be prepared to pay the price in advance, but don't cry when the time comes.

"Mei-sama, please don't say such unrealistic words." Mrs. Hojo was not easily led away from the topic and continued, "So, the expedient solution is to let Madara-sama's next wife still come from our Hojo family. That's it.

, she will treat your children sincerely."

"..."

"If you agree, I will immediately ask her to come over and serve you."

Uchiha Izuna made a "tsk" sound in his heart and thought: It is indeed like this. These people come and go, and this is the calculation. But, what does my brother... think?

Uchiha Madara: "..." He paused and said nothing, waiting patiently for his wife's answer. In fact, her answer may not be important, because it cannot interfere with changing his decision, but at this moment, he still wants to

Listen to her most honest answer.

Uchiha Yao blinked in surprise and whispered: "Father..."

Uchiha Madara raised his hand to cover his son's mouth and shook his head.

"..."

Although Uchiha Teru didn't quite understand what happened, he suddenly showed a worried expression.

Inside a house not far away.

"...Who is it?" Uchiha Ochi thought, "Sure enough," and then asked calmly, "Who is the person you want to send here?"

It would be nice if this conversation only ended with pleasantries, at least...

When you go to the Pure Land in the future, you can comfort Hui and say that your family still cares about you, but now, what does this mean?

Hospice, then...

Send another "Contract Guarantee" immediately.

On the premise that the daughter who is the patriarch's wife is still alive, she begins to seek the position of the next patriarch's wife.
