Siheyuan: A pioneer of morality

After it got dark, Takano Nanako came late.

"There are people in the basement, but only your uncle."

"Uh."

Nanako was startled, and then asked nervously: "Master, where is my cousin?"

"Your uncle said he went to his mother's house to seek help. By the way, who is his mother?"

Nanako bowed her head slightly and answered reluctantly: "His mother's family name is Tojo, and now she takes the Takano family name..." (In "Xiao Ri Zi", since the Meiji Restoration, the husband and wife have been practicing the same surname, and there is this provision in the marriage law of "Xiao Ri Zi": After a woman gets married, her surname will generally be changed to her husband's surname, but it is not mandatory.)

(The origin of this system is that during the Restoration period, "Xiao Ri Zi" was highly Westernized and copied Western customs.)

(The reason why husband and wife have the same surname in the West is mainly due to the doctrines of certain sects.)

Hearing Nanako's answer, Zhou Jianjun's expression instantly became very ugly.

"A nest of snakes and rats is really a nest of birds!"

In each country, marriages between high-level officials are normal. However, after hearing about the marriage between Tojo and Takano, Zhou Jianjun felt very disgusted no matter how he thought about it.

"Hi!"

Nanako bowed.

Zhou Jianjun looked at Nanako with disgust, and then said: "Go see your second uncle, he is in the basement."

"Hi!"

Nanako led the way excitedly, and the two went directly to the basement.

"Second uncle..."

Seeing the listless Takano Jiro, Nanako exclaimed with a tangled expression.

When Takano Jiro heard the voice, he opened his eyes with great effort. When he saw that the person calling him was Nanako, he immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "Nanako, let me go."

"I'm sorry, uncle. I asked the master to tie you up here."

"You..."

Takano Jiro stared at Nanako in horror. When he saw Zhou Jianjun standing behind Nanako, he trembled and almost peed on the spot.

"Nanako, I'm your uncle, you can't do this to me!"

Nanako looked at her embarrassed uncle with a tangled expression. After a long silence, she said softly: "Compared with the glory of the family, family affection is not important."

"You!"

Takano Jiro stared at Takano Nanako with a ferocious look, gritting his teeth and said: "My inexplicable disappearance will definitely cause an uproar in the family. You happened to return to Kyoto at this time, and the clan members will not let you go. Even your father, he will not let you go."

At this time, Zhou Jianjun slowly walked from behind Nanako to Takano Jiro. He squatted on the ground, looked at Takano Jiro with a smile and said: "I will solve this problem, so don't bother."

"Baga!"

Takano Jiro just cursed and saw a scene that made his scalp numb: Zhou Jianjun just wiped his face lightly with his hand, and then his face turned into Takano Jiro's appearance.

"You...you are a devil!"

Takano Jiro shouted while moving his body back to get away from Zhou Jianjun.

Zhou Jianjun ignored him and stood up and looked at Nanako, "What are you going to do with him?"

Nanako raised her hand and pointed at the iron cage next to her, "That's where he will end up."

"Tsk tsk..."

Looking at the iron cage that had been prepared long ago, Zhou Jianjun couldn't help but tsk around the iron cage, "You have prepared it long ago? If it weren't for me, how would you get him here?"

"Master, I haven't made a plan yet, I'm just prepared for any eventuality."

"Great, really great!"

Zhou Jianjun gave a thumbs up.

"The people of the Takano family are really not ordinary people."

"Master..."

Nanako pleaded softly.

Zhou Jianjun understood what she meant, picked up Takano Jiro from the ground and threw him directly into the iron cage.

"Stay here."

After finishing all this, Zhou Jianjun and Nanako returned to the living room.

"Master, my father has agreed to hold a family meeting tomorrow to discuss the next clan leader. Will you attend the meeting?"

"Of course, if I don't go, then Takano Jiro will not be able to be there. Your second uncle personally recommended you as the next clan leader. I believe your clan members will be very surprised."

"Thank you, Master!"

...

In the morning, Nanako helped "Takano Jiro" tidy up his suit, then stepped back, bowed and said, "Master, I have to trouble you today."

"You are so good, of course I will help you, hehe..."

After the two had breakfast, Nanako drove the car and took Zhou Jianjun to the place where the family held a meeting.

As the car drove on the road, Nanako kept going toZhou Jianjun talked about Takano Jiro's living habits and the possible situation in today's meeting.

Zhou Jianjun listened for a while, then interrupted impatiently: "In the face of absolute force, any conspiracy can only become a joke."

"Nanako, you must remember that the reason why conspiracy can succeed is only because your opponent is not strong enough."

"When you have a force value that is superior to anyone, then even the world can only bow down in front of you."

Nanako heard this and bit her lips and said: "Master, but Nanako doesn't..."

She was interrupted by Zhou Jianjun before she finished speaking, "No, you do. I am the absolute force value."

"Hi!"

Under Zhou Jianjun's comfort, Nanako's originally uneasy heart was completely settled at this time.

"It will definitely succeed!"

Under Nanako's driving, the car soon arrived at a manor.

As soon as the car stopped, the guard at the door hurried forward to check.

When they saw "Takano Jiro" sitting in the back seat of the car, their faces were obviously startled, and then the two guards bowed to "Takano Jiro" and said: "Mr. Jiro, your wife and son have arrived. They said..."

"What did they say? Did they say I was missing?"

"Takano Jiro" asked in a cold tone.

"Hey!" The two guards bowed in response.

"Baga! Get out of the way!"

"Hey!"

As the gate opened, Nanako drove the car slowly into the manor.

At this moment, "Takano Jiro"'s extremely cold face became a little relieved, "Tojo... Hehe, I would like to see how powerful the people of the Tojo family are..."

"Master..." Nanako hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "My second aunt is not my cousin's biological mother. She is just my cousin's stepmother, and she is only thirty years old..."

"Wow hahaha! This is even more interesting..."
