I'm writing a diary in Zongman

But there is nothing we can do about it.

If Auntie doesn't give in on this issue, and the Shijo family suffers a blow overseas and still can't get over this hurdle domestically, they will be declared bankrupt.

Paying a price can at least leave you a glimmer of hope, but stubborn resistance will only lead to death.

When faced with such a situation, the Shijo family had no choice but to spend money to avoid disaster.

Moreover, losing money to avoid disaster is the best option.

If Auntie doesn't agree, then the Shijo family will soon face the risk of being dismembered. At that time, it will not be a question of whether or not to have a choice, but the inevitable result of death.

Of course, what Shijo Shinki is most grateful for is that the Shinomiya family is now ruled by her aunt.

As long as the Shigong family is still under the control of Shigong Huangguang, there is a high probability that the Shijo family will be trained like a dog by Shigong Huangguang.

In addition, Shijo Shinki also felt some changes in her aunt.

The coldness that 04 used to treat everyone the same had obviously subsided a lot, but what replaced it was the oppressive feeling that his every word and action brought to people, like a huge iceberg.

It seems that the indifference of the past was just a gust of cold wind on the outside of the iceberg, but now the iceberg is already majestic enough and no longer needs the cold as a barrier to show its majesty.

Is this the change?

Has such a change occurred in just a few months?

Shijo Shinki made a sad discovery that since the Shijo family was controlled by her aunt, the Shijo family had lost the ability to fight against the Shijo family.

Overseas assets may be much safer than domestic assets, at least they do not have to be under the control of the Fourth Palace.

However, overseas assets are also experiencing significant fluctuations, especially some rumors on island platforms, which can easily affect overseas assets.

Moreover, the Shinomiya family's influence overseas is also not low, especially after the Shinomiya family surrendered to Sanzenin.

The surname Sanqianyuan represents not only domestic wealth, but also world-class wealth.

That is the highest point that no chaebol in the island country can touch.

The wealth of Sanqianyuan also means that it has supermodel influence.

This is the biggest reason why the Shijo family was defeated.

Sanzenin, Saginomiya...Apart from the Fujiwara family, my aunt is actually connected to so many people. It's beyond my expectation.

But how did this connection come about?

This is also the question that Shijo Shinki is wondering now.

A few months ago, the reason why my aunt was able to control the Shinomiya family was because of her connection with Sanzenin.

Sanzenin's extreme pressure on the Shinomiya family is like a promise to Shinomiya Kaguya, just to facilitate the exchange of power within the Shinomiya family.

However, no one knew about the contact between my aunt and Sanqianyuan.

Otherwise, the power exchange within the Shinomiya family would not have happened so suddenly.

"Hmm? Are you still planning to stay here?"

Kaguya Shinomiya had no interest in what the Shijo family had done, just like she had no interest in the Shinomiya family's property.

All she needed was a Shijo family that would stay quiet and not cause trouble for her. If the Shijo family could be more clear-headed, she wouldn't target them.

Of course, the previous attack was not revenge, but a counterattack.

If they don't fight back when being targeted, the Shijo clan will only cause more trouble. Give them some reaction, so they'll give up. This is Kaguya Shinomiya's solution.

Only when the Shijo family clearly realizes that there is no use in withdrawing from the island country will they be more careful in their actions.

Of course, the counterattack this time was a bit harsh. Kaguya Shinomiya estimated that after the Shijo family apologized this time, it would probably take at least several decades of development to recover.

However, after a few decades, Kaguya Shinomiya would most likely completely forget the existence of the Shijo family. At that time, no matter whether the Shijo family could recover or not, the Shijo family would not appear in her eyes.

The four concubines calmed themselves down and bowed slightly.

"Then Auntie, see you next time."

Although she was curious about the changes in her aunt, Shijo Shinki still chose to leave.

Only after Shijo Shinki left did Shinomiya Kaguya turn around.

"Hayasaka, contact Aunt Nao when you get back. Don't worry about the Shijo family."

"I understand."

Hayasaka Ai glanced in the direction of Shijo Maki, then looked away.

But when he looked away, he noticed that Amamiya Ren's eyes seemed to be on Shijo Shinki, so he asked with some curiosity:

"Amamiya-san, do you know her?"

After hearing the question, Amamiya Ren slowly withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly.

"Shijo Shinki, the eldest daughter of the Shijo family, was very strong-willed and not good at bowing to others. However, she was very polite and would not give people the impression of being distant in her actions. Of course, the reason I remember her so well is because of one of her titles."

"The concubine is always miserable."

"Concubine Chang is miserable?"

Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't help but look back at Shijo Shinki who turned and left. She really didn't expect that this person actually had such a nickname.

"Lian, what did she do to deserve such a title?"

This aroused the interest of Kaguya Shinomiya.

"She didn't do anything to deserve this title, but nothing at all."

Thinking back to the miserable situation of Hime Chang, Amamiya Ren couldn't help but want to laugh while speaking.

Although this girl is really miserable, I can't help but laugh every time I see her misery.

"Fujiwara, you should know this, right? The childhood sweetheart in a story is often just a supporting role, and the male protagonist is often not looking at the childhood sweetheart, but the one who falls from the sky."

"Of course I do... Oh!"

Halfway through her words, Fujiwara Chika immediately reacted and turned her head to look at Shijo Shinki's back.

"No wonder he was given that title even though he hadn't done anything."

Childhood sweethearts are no match for the one who drops from the sky. This is truly...very classic.

"But even if that's the case, it wouldn't be enough to be called a miserable concubine, right?"

As she spoke, a beautiful arc appeared on the corner of Fujiwara Chika's mouth, and her gossip and curiosity soared to the highest point at this moment.

"So, she has other things going on that earned her this title?"

PS: I accompanied my mother to do a colonoscopy and gastroscopy today, and just came back, so the update may be a little late.

Chapter 416 The Answer the Shijo Family Wants

"A straightforward personality, not good at expressing emotions, and a somewhat awkward personality."

"I think this is probably the main reason for her condition."

A twisted personality?

Fujiwara Chika subconsciously glanced at Kaguya.

Not only Fujiwara Chika, but Hayasaka Ai, who was very familiar with Shinomiya Kaguya, also shifted her gaze immediately.

The two discovered that Kaguya Shinomiya seemed to meet the standards mentioned by Amamiya Ren just now.

Thinking about the relationship between the two, they always felt that in this situation they were really like relatives.

"He's rude to the girl he likes, and he might even deliberately say something unpleasant, as if he's trying to hide his true feelings."

"She deliberately hid her feelings of love and then refused to say anything. As a result, the boy she liked confessed his feelings to her childhood friend."

"I said congratulations, but inside I was very emotional and always on the verge of tears."

Amamiya Ren paused here, then judged the girl's situation based on her current knowledge.

"Her stories always make me laugh. Such a simple girl, yet because she didn't say something, she became speechless forever. At the time, I just thought it was funny, but now, I feel that she must have sufficient self-awareness like Kaguya."

Shinomiya Kaguya paused and turned to look in the direction of Shijo Shinki.

This might be the basic quality that everyone in a large family should have, but as far as she knew, Shijo Shinki grew up in a happier environment.

Her overall living environment is better than hers, and there is no middle-aged brother who always treats her as a tool.

Once upon a time, she always envied the life of Shijo Shinki.

"Shijo Shinki's family environment is much better."

"Their family has always been suppressed by Sigong Huangguang. My other elder brothers also treat him as a vassal and have always treated them badly."

"And unlike the Hayasaka family, the Shijo family and the Shinomiya family are close relatives. Therefore, my elder brothers have always had the same attitude towards the Shijo family."

"So I can understand what the Shijo family did to the Shinomiya family. They were always thinking about bringing the Shinomiya family down completely."

"This is the matter between the Shinomiya and Shijo families."

"However, her family continued to infiltrate the inner circle after I took over the power of the Shinomiya family."

As she spoke, Kaguya Shinomiya sneered a few times.

"They're probably worried about my attitude and want to find out some things about me."

"Since they have already done this, I will give them a sufficiently brutal counterattack."

"I originally thought they would understand that my decision not to target their infiltration was already a gesture of respect towards them. Turns out, I seem to have overestimated their ability to think."

"So, I asked Aunt Nayang to break their bones at once, so that they would know my attitude more clearly."

Shijoya couldn't understand simple words, so she had to test her attitude. So her current attitude was straightforward enough to tell Shijoya that they should not come to her house unless necessary, as they were not familiar with her.

Of course, Kaguya Shinomiya also understood that the reason why the Shijo family did this was simply because they habitually opposed the Shinomiya family. No matter who succeeded the Shinomiya family's power, the Shijo family was waiting for an opportunity to overthrow the Shinomiya family.

"Compared to meaningless conversations, straightforward attitudes and actions are more likely to reassure people, right?"

Shinomiya Kaguya nodded slightly, acknowledging what Lian said.

Amamiya Ren had nothing to say about this. This approach was extremely simple and crude, but it did make people feel at ease, especially when it came to the old antiques of the Shijo family.

It’s like some people are often under control, and suddenly one day the control is lifted and they are not used to it yet, and they always want to confirm whether it is true in their own way.

This is obviously the case with the Shijo family.

There was clearly a simpler way to test him. Perhaps simply asking his daughter to come and ask would be better than using all his family's wealth to test him.

Haven't they ever thought about what would happen to the Shijo family if Kaguya really had that kind of personality?

Amamiya Ren also has many questions about this.

Therefore, he habitually used maple leaf gold coins for divination.

The Shijo family knew the consequences of the failed attempt.

The gold coin fell with the words facing up.

The answer is yes.

Amamiya Ren raised her brows.

The Shijo family was prepared for the failure of their attempt.

The gold coin fell, still facing up.

Once again, the answer is yes.

Two consecutive divinations made Amamiya Ren realize that the Shijo family still had some backup plans to avoid a situation where all the firewood was burned out.

So what was the purpose of this temptation that made the Shijo family lose their minds?

Suddenly, an answer came to Ren Amamiya's mind.

It’s the Shinomiya family!

This sudden answer made Amamiya Ren pause, and then he understood.

Therefore, the Shijo family wanted to confirm whether the traditions of the Shinomiya family were completely extinct!

In order to test the answer, the Shijo family used the most inappropriate means. They wanted Kaguya to express the clearest attitude.

In order to confirm her thoughts, Amamiya Ren let the gold coin fall again, still with the face facing up.

The answer is, yes.
