Takahashi Ryu instructed the butler to arrange a room for Xinran. The old butler, well aware of the master's intentions, placed Xinran in the innermost room, separated by dozens of rooms from Mu Shaosi's room.
As Xinran walked down the corridor to her room, she noticed that Takeuchi Yasuko was staying in the room right next to Mu Shaosi's. She couldn't help but smile; did Old Master intend to create a galaxy between her and Mu Shaosi? Did he think of them as star-crossed lovers?
"Master has ordered you to wear a kimono; you cannot wear your own clothes in Dongshan Residence!" As soon as Xinran entered her room and settled down, a servant-like Grandma barged in with a stern expression, throwing a complete kimono beside Xinran.
Watching Grandma rush in and out like the wind, Xinran shook her head helplessly and got up to change. She remembered how Granny had gently helped her into a kimono years ago, tying the obi and then caressing her face, saying that her little Xinran looked like a little princess, beautiful and lovely.
Quickly changing into the kimono and slipping on wooden sandals, Xinran looked at herself in the mirror. For a moment, she felt as if she had blended into this ancient old house. Skillfully tying her hair into an updo, she casually picked up a hairpin from the dressing table and inserted it into her hair. In an instant, Xinran seemed to return to past Japan, becoming a woman from that era...
"From today on, you will be responsible for preparing all three meals for everyone in the house. Once Zhong Si's meal is ready, hand it over to Yasuko; she will serve Zhong Si during meals. Without my permission, you are not allowed to enter Zhong Si's room. Do you understand?" In the hall, Takahashi Ryu sat upright, looking at Xinran as he commanded.
"Understood!" Xinran nodded and then suddenly seemed to remember something. "By the way, Old Master, are there any foods you dislike or cannot eat? It would be best if you let me know in advance. I wouldn't want to accidentally offend your preferences and cause you to become angry; that could be harmful to your health."
She knew that Old Master merely wanted to force her out or provoke her. He always believed that her presence here was due to coveting something from the Dongshan Family. As long as she did not sever ties with Mu Shaosi completely, his attitude toward her would never change.
However, it didn't matter; she had never been afraid of being misunderstood. Hadn't she faced misunderstandings before? Moreover, did Old Master really think she could control Mu Shaosi? Could she change anything about the unyielding Mu Shaosi? She was just an ordinary woman; initially a pawn in his game and still a pawn now—one with an expiration date. No matter how much he favored her at this moment, when it came to severing ties, did this man still need to learn?
"I can't eat anything; ask the butler!" Takahashi Ryu raised an eyebrow and glanced at Takeuchi Yasuko sitting at the other end before adding fuel to the fire: "Yasuko is Zhong Si's legitimate fiancée. Since you agreed to stay and take care of Zhong Si, you must also serve Yasuko well; she is my invited guest. If you neglect her, don't blame me for reprimanding you!"
"Old Master, Yasuko only needs to serve Zhong Si Jun; there's no need for Miss Xia to take care of her!" Upon hearing Takahashi Ryu's words, Takeuchi Yasuko immediately displayed a surprised expression and nervously declined.
She is not a fool; she can see the relationship between Summer and Zhong Si Jun. If she wants to achieve her goal of marrying into the Dongshan Family, she must get rid of this rival in front of her. After all, she can no longer win Zhong Si Jun's heart, and she certainly cannot allow another woman to exist in his affections.
Looking at the current situation, Old Master seems to dislike Summer very much, and the influence of the Takeuchi Family is a significant advantage for her. Therefore, as long as she makes good use of Old Master's dissatisfaction with Summer, getting rid of her will be an easy task. Throughout her life, there has never been anything that Takeuchi Yasuko wanted and ultimately did not obtain. Thus, she is confident that she will eventually marry Dong Shan Zhong and become his wife!
"Yasuko, I said she should serve you, so let her serve you. Feel free to give her any orders you want. If she treats you poorly, just come tell me, and I'll take care of it for you!"
