As the soft voice fell, the room suddenly became silent.

Immediately afterwards, everyone, including Qingnobo, focused their attention on the person who made the noise - the Souji.

"I am one of the proposed candidates, so I should also have a chance to speak, right?"

Before anyone could respond, the chief executive straightened his back and coughed a few times.

Her behavior does not make people think it is exaggerated or artificial, it just makes people think it is interesting and cute.

"I'm not a eloquent person, so I won't beat around the bush and get straight to the point."

"It is true that the behavior of 'marrying three official wives' is not in line with etiquette and law, but also goes against good folk customs."

"However--"

The general manager suddenly changed the subject.

As if she wanted to whet everyone's appetite, she didn't speak in a hurry. Instead, after thinking about it for a while, she slowly continued:

"Tachibana-kun is a person who is very good at breaking the rules and has created many miracles so far, isn't he?"

As soon as these words came out, Sanako, Kinoshita Mai, Chiba Jutaro... and even Aoto himself couldn't help but be stunned.

"To be fair, I can't say calmly, 'I don't mind if Mr. Tachibana marries another woman after marrying me.'"

"After all, I am also a normal person, I also have selfish motives, and I also feel aggrieved and jealous."

"But...my feelings for Mr. Tachibana will never change."

At this time, Qingden felt a cold and comfortable touch on his right hand - the general stretched out the catkin and put it into his big palm.

Souji's warmth spread into the palm of his hand and spread along his arm into Qingden's heart.

"No matter what, I want to be with Mr. Ju for a hundred years."

Having said this, Souji raised his eyes, looked at Boss Kiryu and Jutaro Chiba, and changed his tone seriously.

"So, please don't hit him, kill him."

"If Tachibana-kun is gone...to be honest, I don't know what I will do."

"Give Mr. Tachibana a chance."

"Even if you can't accept him now, it doesn't matter. Just give him a chance to grow up and impress us."

"Given time, he might really be able to possess the strength that even if he marries three or even more wives, no one would dare to comment on it, and the parents of the woman would hardly have any objections."

As he said that, the Director-General put on a calm yet slightly shy smile.

"Actually, I'm also looking forward to it."

"I look forward to Tachibana-kun creating another miracle - a miracle in which I, Okita Tsukasa, am involved."

"Sanako, Miss Kinoshita, what do you think?"

The two women who were suddenly called by their name first looked stunned, and then turned around and looked around as if they couldn't calm down.

"I...I...I...I..."

Kinoshita danced "I" for a long time, but couldn't say a word with specific meaning.

Seeing this, the General Secretary smiled slightly:

"Miss Kinoshita, do you hate Tachibana-kun?"

Before the Souji finished speaking, Kinoshita Mai immediately said:

"Of course I don't hate it!"

"Since you don't hate it, it shouldn't be difficult to answer my question, right?"

"Uh...!"

Kinoshita Mai lowered her head with a blushing face, her eyes fixed on the tatami in front of her knees, and she repeatedly played with the fingers folded on her chest.

"I also...don't want to be separated from Qingdeng..."

Satisfied, Souji moved his gaze away from Kinoshita Mai and instead stared at Sanako.

"Sanako, what about you? Do you like Tachibana-kun? Do you want to separate from Tachibana-kun?"

"..."

Sanako didn't respond, but slowly closed her eyes and looked away - it was not yet the time for cherry blossoms to bloom, but there were already a handful of "cherry blossoms" blooming beautifully and gorgeously in Qingto's ward.

Sanako's face is so pink, so gorgeously pink that it makes all the cherry blossoms in the world eclipse.

Her actions and expressions were equivalent to a slight nod, answering the chief executive's question.

Seeing that Sanako was also dragged onto the pirate ship, the Souji immediately looked at the parents with a smile.

"As the proposed candidates, we have reached a mutual agreement - now it's your turn. Sister, what do you think?"

Okita Hikaru pursed her lips tightly.

Chiba Jutaro touched his forehead with his hand.

Boss Kiryu had a complicated expression.

After a while, a certain girl was the first to raise the "white flag".

"Oh...what are these things..."

Okita Hikaru said "Oh" and sighed heavily.

With Okita Hikaru taking the lead, the will of the remaining two parents was inevitably shaken.

"..."

Chiba Jutaro shook off his right palm that was almost pressed against the handle of the knife.

Although he didn't say a word, the murderous aura on his body had dissipated.

Kiryu looked tired. While showing a wry smile, he murmured at a volume that only he could hear clearly:

"Ahh...! You have really caused me a lot of trouble...! How should I explain it to my lord in the future...!"

In just ten minutes, Qingdeng experienced the ups and downs of his life.

The so-called "from hell to heaven" is nothing more than this.

Although his parents still do not accept him and still scorn his ideal of "building a big family", at least judging from the current situation, his life is not in danger for the time being.

Qingto swept his eyes, scanning the faces of Souji, Mai Kinoshita, and Sanako one by one.

Gradually, his cheeks relaxed unconsciously, and the corners of his mouth also relaxed.

In this way, he enjoyed this reassuring time with a smile.

Suddenly, he felt blissful in his heart - he opened his arms like a bird.

Amidst the exclamations, he took all three girls in front of him into his arms.

You can feel it on your skin and smell three aromas of spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums on your nose.

In the days to come, there is another hope and a goal to strive for.

Even if it is just for the three girls in his arms, he must fight hard, live hard, fight against the revenge that the Fa Zun Party will launch at some time, and fight... the fierce battle that will follow!

As soon as he thought of this, Qingdeng felt a powerful force surge in his heart.

"Xiao Si, why don't you think about it more deeply? Don't waste your life!"

"No! As expected, we still have to call Brother Rong and the others over!"

"Ah ah... I really have a headache..."

There was a cheerful atmosphere inside and outside the ward.

…

…

10 days later——

In the first year of Wenjiu (1861), early morning on March 22nd——

Edo, Chishiya——

Wow... Qingdeng pushed open the shop door with ease.

As soon as Fang entered the door, he saw Boss Kiryu sitting behind the counter, writing something.

"Boss Kiryu, good morning."

"Well, good morning."

Kiryu put down the brush in his hand and responded with a smile.

After the two of them finished their simple greetings, Qingdeng turned his head and scanned his surroundings.

"Boss Kiryu, where is Awu?"

"She went shopping with Makimura."
