“Come on, say it. Uncle will buy you some candy.”
“Hey, little miss, you’re growing prettier by the day. Uncle will take you to see the goldfish!”
For most people, a day apart feels like three years. For her, three years apart feel like yesterday.
She gets mocked for being too high-profile, and called a coward when she keeps a low profile! She’s just a modern-day single woman trying to find a little security in a feudal household. Does everyone really have to treat her like an idiot?
No way. If she doesn’t make a move soon, she’ll be married off. Family scheming, making money, choosing a husband: she needs to do it all!
My new book, The Good Son-in-Law of a Noble Family, is now underway. I’ll come back to fill in the extra chapters for this story from time to time.
