Although the storm outside had calmed down, the atmosphere in the Kairuoka household remained tense.
During Kai Ruo Yu Qi's imprisonment, she had suffered greatly, leaving Kairuoka feeling extremely guilty. Naturally, he began to comply with her every request to make up for his earlier mistakes. While his willingness to make amends was a good thing for Kai Ruo Yu Qi, she still couldn't resolve the knot in her heart regarding Kairuot.
This wild child from Earth was someone Kai Ruo Yu Qi had never wanted to accept from the very beginning. When Kairuoka first brought the twelve-year-old Kairuot before her and explained that Kairuot was his adopted son from Earth, Kai Ruo Yu Qi simply did not believe it! She resented Kairuoka for not being truthful... After all, she had sacrificed so much to help him resolve his feelings for Fair Connie, even going so far as to tell many lies to support him. Now that her husband had returned, he had not cut ties with Fair Connie at all; instead, he had brought home an illegitimate child.
To Kai Ruo Yu Qi, Kairuot was nothing more than the illegitimate son of Kairuoka and Fair Connie—this truth was something she dared not confront. She thought about how revealing Kairuot's true parentage would not only jeopardize Kairuoka's position but also bring disaster upon their entire family.
This situation was incredibly difficult... For Kai Ruo Yu Qi, acknowledging Kairuot as her son was something she could not bring herself to do. If she refused to accept him, Kairuoka would surely be unhappy. Deeply in love with her husband and not wanting to add to his troubles, she could only outwardly agree while treating Kairuot as if he were not her son at all.
Kairuot had grown wild on Earth and never adhered to the strict etiquette of their household. Coming from a primitive society to the highly civilized Martian society was a drastic change that anyone would find hard to adapt to in a short time.
Kai Ruo Yu Qi had endured Kairuot's rebelliousness for over half a year but could no longer tolerate it—
One day, when Kairuoka returned home from the council hall, Kai Ruo Yu Qi immediately began to complain: "You need to separate your precious third child from our eldest and second children... That Kairuot doesn't behave like a normal person; he can't sit still or stand properly, climbing everywhere and causing trouble. If this continues, our eldest and second children will follow suit and turn into wild kids."
"What? Did Terra cause you some trouble again?" Kairuoka asked for details.
Kai Ruo Yu Qi felt it necessary to inform Kairuoka of Kairuot's various misdeeds so he could make an early decision. She began listing Kairuot's faults: "I can't manage your Terra! He never understands the importance of studying properly and even led his two older brothers to skip school. This morning they ran off together into the woods to look for bird nests, causing us a lot of trouble searching for them both inside and outside the house. When we finally caught them and brought them back, they were all naked with their clothes nowhere in sight. Your Terra doesn't understand etiquette or rules; when I asked him to recite scriptures this morning, he mumbled nonsense. He refuses to use the door when there's one available and insists on climbing out the window like a wild man. His clothes are rarely clean; just when you put a fresh outfit on him, he rolls around outside and gets covered in mud. Sometimes he even finds clothes bothersome and runs out wearing nothing but his underwear—he's completely untamed! How can he possibly represent the son of a leader? He's ruining your reputation! And when it comes to eating, he never washes his hands and grabs food without any sense of sharing. Don't even get me started on his studies; he can't sit still for a moment and constantly disrupts his classmates, leading to numerous punishments from teachers who seem helpless against him. He truly is a wild child that's hard to educate! The most infuriating part is that he turned our best ornamental fish pond into a swimming pool, catching fish and shrimp as if it were a playground! He even ate one of my valuable ornamental fish raw! And... forget it; I won't go on. Tell me, how can I manage such a child?"
Kairuoka smiled lightly and said, "He's just a child of ours; we can discipline him however we see fit."
"He's not my son; I couldn't possibly give birth to such a child," Kai Ruo Yu Qi said sternly. "You'd better arrange for him to be taught elsewhere so that he doesn't lead my two sons astray."
Kairuoka was also considering arranging for Kairuot to be placed in a suitable place for discipline, pondering who to send to manage this unruly child.
Kai Ruo Yu Qi then said, "There is an abandoned courtyard near our Kairo Mansion that has been unused for many years. With a little renovation, it could serve as a residence for Kairuot."
"No way, that was the place where the former leader's wife was imprisoned. How could we let Terra live there?" Kairuoka shook his head.
"You say no, but can you find a suitable place nearby?" Kai Ruo Yu Qi asked. Despite the size of Kairo Mansion, it was indeed difficult to find an independent courtyard. "If we renovate that courtyard a bit and modernize the interior furnishings as much as possible, it won't be unfair to your precious son. I have already thought of who will manage him—our most capable servant, Kairou Marie."
Kairuoka couldn't find a reason to oppose and could only nod in agreement. He felt that the biggest advantage of choosing this courtyard was its proximity to Kairo Mansion, allowing him to visit his precious son frequently.
