You get in trouble

The next morning, the two of you went to meet your grandfather to perform a dogeza as an apology. As the two of you kneeled on the ground and prostrated with your heads touching the flow, you told him you got Minami pregnant and would take full responsibility.

The two of you remained bowing for a long time until your grandfather relented and told you to stop doing it. He expressed his disappointment with you for being so short-sighted and stupid, and for causing troubles for many people. On the other hand, he respected you for not regretting what you had done and willingness to take responsibility.

Your grandfather told you that the child of your union wouldn't be the family's heir due to a simple fact that Minami was someone else's wife. While that itself wasn't a problem, the fact that Minami belonged to the branch family was the main reason. Any child born to a branch family mother would automatically become that branch family member. Even if you as the father belonged to the main family, the rule still applied.

You and Minami accepted the fact since the two of you weren't trying to make a heir for the family.

A day later, the two of you once again performed dogeza, this time to Minami's husband. Even though your status is higher than him, you still did it because you wanted to show your honesty and determination. You told him that you're asking his blessing for you to pursue a relationship with Minami even though she was his wife. He asked you what would you do if he didn't bless the two of you, to which you answered you would still pursue her regardless.

He asked Minami why she had an affair with you even though she was married to him. Minami answered that even though the two were married, it was just an arranged marriage to strengthen family ties. Even though she gave birth to their daughter, he remained cold and aloof and never tried to improve their relationship.

The tryst that she shared with you in comparison was more passionate, even though it was driven by sex and lust.
