I am reading the book 鵺の家 by 廣嶋玲子, and I have a question about the usage of
the phrases いいように and はからう in the following.

> 兄達に無性に会いたくなった。巣篭りのお役目が無事におわったら、燕堂に里帰りをお願いしてみよう。兄達の休暇が終わるまで、沖野家に戻っていて
> **いいように** 、 **はからって** もらおう。楽しい想像に、ようやく気分が高揚してきた。

My translation attempt:

> Akane (the main character, who is adopted by a rich family) wanted to meet
> her older brothers very much. If her role at the Nesting Ritual were
> successful she thought that she would ask Endō (the head of the rich family)
> for a favour (he promised her earlier that she can ask for anything). She
> would ask that he allow her to stay at the House of Okino (her home) until
> the end of the holiday of her older brothers. Upon this happy thought, her
> mood was finally uplifted.

What exactly do these phrases mean in this context. How to analyze them?

Meaning of いいように and はからう in a certain context
[はからう](https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/word/en/%E8%A8%88%E3%82%89%E3%81%86/#je-60077)
means _to see to it_. It is often used with adverbs, without mentioning
explicitly what is done (in this sense, it is close to _to manage_ ).

From the linked entry:

> なんとか計らいましょう
>
> I'll see to it.／I'll take care of it somehow.

It can be used also like _to see to it that ..._ , which is the case for the
sentence in question.

Literally

> 兄達の休暇が終わるまで、沖野家に戻っていて **いいように、はからってもらおう。**

can be translated to

> I **will have someone see to it that (I) can (/have the permission to) be
> back** in Okino's house till the end of the vacation of the brothers.

Practically your understanding is correct, but I made the literal translation
for はからってもらう.

In grammar terms, understanding ように as _so that_ and はからう as _make
arrangements_ should clarify.
