"So. Have you ever thought about eliminating the engagement?"

Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded slightly and said, "But Oda Nobunaga took the initiative to propose the marriage. If the engagement was terminated, he would be furious. What should he do then?"

"Tell him that this is not fair to Miss Oda, wouldn't it be together?"

"If he doesn't listen, but instead thinks that the Matsuhei family has no sincerity to form an alliance and takes the opportunity to declare war on Okazaki, what if?"

"this……"

"Are you supposed to fight him with the determination to die at that time? I will fight to the death. You can't live in the world anymore, there are Takechiyo, Ah Gui, Residents, Territory, and Castle..." Tokugawa Ieyasu slowly turned his fingers.

"You are too timid." Sena Hime shouted with a trembling whole body, "Actually, you just agreed to terminate the engagement, but it was just a delaying strategy, and you still wanted to convince me."

"Cowardly? No, this is not cowardly, but patience. Only by endurance can one survive longer and find a strong opportunity from it." Facing the sarcasm of his wife Semine Hime, Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately retorted in his heart. Tokugawa Ieyasu, who is familiar with his wife's personality, did not refute his wife in this way. Instead, after breathing a long sigh, he said: "It may not be."

"not necessarily?"

"I know you are thinking about Takechiyo's future. Since we will perish sooner or later, instead of letting Takechiyo endure the pain every day in the future, it is better to die immediately and escape from the sea of ​​suffering early. Or simply anger the Imakawa family in Toe and let him suffer a pain for Takechiyo who was under house arrest."

Senahime's eyes widened and her lips were closed tightly. She was already in a rage, but Tokugawa Ieyasu's ironic words made her gradually regain her rationality. Should she die bravely or accept Ohashi's lady and live a life of silence? When a person faces a life-and-death choice, marriage is no longer the only criterion for happiness or not. Although Senahime is extremely reluctant, she has to disagree with Tokugawa Ieyasu's view.

"Madam." Tokugawa Ieyasu continued, every word he said was deeply embedded in Se Naihime's heart. "I think Oda Nobunaga is amazing. What did the Shun Mansion do when the Matsue family was in decline and frustrated? I'm afraid you won't forget it. They asked me to go to Shun Mansion to be a hostage. Now, what should Oda Nobunaga also asks Tongxiang? For the sake of the entire family and for Okazaki, I may have to hold back my tears and send Takechiyo to Kiyosu as a hostage..."

"You are reluctant no matter how you are, but as a general, you can't watch others kill their retainers and ravage their own subordinates. If Oda Nobunaga asked us to hand over Takechiyo, I could only rely on him. Do you understand? But Oda Nobunaga did not do that, but took the initiative to send his daughter to Okazaki to ask me to form an alliance with him... What's more beneficial to hand over Takechiyo and the lady who accepts Ohara..." Tokugawa Ieyasu closed his eyes slightly, and his voice became lower and lower.

Senahime burst into tears again. The niece of the free and willful Imakawa Yoshimoto, who was in the past, has now fallen step by step from a high place to a miserable situation, becoming an ordinary mother, which she never expected.

"Oda Nobunaga's approach is impeccable, I have to agree. Do you understand?"

Sena Hime was so excited that she was trembling all over. She wanted to shout, but she couldn't. Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu, Ozawa and Mikawa all made Sena Hime unbearable. However, what she felt was that she had to accept this reality or she would not be able to survive. Sena Hime was full of resentment towards her husband who showed this absurd fact naked in front of her.

"You understand that lovely men and women are not allowed to come together in this troubled time, so I..."

Suddenly, Semine Hime smashed the tea bowl in her hand into the yard. A few bangs, and the offerings placed on the sacrificial table sprinkled all over the floor.

Tokugawa Ieyasu's face turned pale. He kept holding back his anger and explained it with great painstaking words, which made him feel depressed, but received such a response. His eyes were burning with anger, and he grabbed Fuji suddenly, but did not throw it over.

"Barewell!" He shouted, stood up, and wanted to leave here immediately.

"Do you want to escape? A cowardly person-" Semeihito wanted to stand up in a hurry, accidentally stepped on her clothes and fell to the ground. "Lord!"

Tokugawa Ieyasu was already angrily walking towards the door. Semeihito was still yelling, but his voice was blurred. Tokugawa Ieyasu walked to the entrance, and suddenly, Agui's voice came from behind: "Father."

Tokugawa Ieyasu turned around and looked at Agui. After a long time, his gray face gradually showed a smile. Agui and his maid Awan stood side by side. She looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu with her eyes a little uneven, a little blamed, and seemed to be acting coquettish.

"Are you going back?"

"A Gui!"

"Mother seems to be talking about something."

"What did she say?" Tokugawa Ieyasu moved his mouth and waved his hand, "I will come again. You will worship with your maid Ah Wan tonight. Be obedient." After saying that, he turned his head and said to his maid Ah Wan: "Go with Ah Gu."

"Yes...yes." The maid Aman knew the entanglement between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Sena Hime. She red eyes and nodded.

Tokugawa Ieyasu suddenly turned his head and walked out. He looked at the sky after sunset and said to himself blankly: "How can I just give me Tokugawa Ieyasu a warm family? In this chaotic world, men and women are just sad passers-by."
