"Mother." Izayoi walked down the steps.
He thought about whether to help him, but when he stretched out his hand, Tachibana Qianhua just pushed his hand back naturally.
"You don't need to be so cautious, I'm just here to see my child." She still had the same indifferent expression, but there was a faint smile of kindness on the corners of her eyes and lips, "Listen to Ren, you are here early in the morning. waiting?"
Shinobu is Honda's name and title as a hidden guard, and it is a name that can only be inherited by the strongest person in each generation of hidden guards.
"Mother is coming. It's a long way from the airport to here. I heard that the road conditions are good these days. I thought you would arrive soon." Shiliuye also withdrew his hand, followed behind Tachibana Qianhua, and entered the house. Go to the main hall.
"Your child is easy to care about." Tachibana Chika nodded abruptly, "It's always a private matter, just like in Kyushu."
"Yes, Mother." Izayoi also laughed.
There was already tea and snacks prepared by Mori in the main hall. After Tachibana Chika was seated, she asked the others to retreat, and let her and Izayoi have a private conversation here.
Looking away from the courtyard, Tachibana Chika looked at Izayoi who was pouring tea.
"After a few months in Tokyo, I seem to have lost some weight."
"Have you? I remember feeling that I gained a little weight a few days ago." Shizai Ye served tea with both hands, "Mother, please."
Tachibana Chika nodded slightly, took the tea from Shizaya, put it in front of her and waited for it to cool down, "I must have misread it, after all, you are a child who tends to slacken his diet when he is busy, and there are many and complicated things about Tachibana's family in Tokyo. Even if you are careful, I am relieved, but after all, the burden is still too heavy."
"I made my mother worry." Shizaya lowered her eyes, smiled apologetically, and said, "Wanlihua doesn't seem to have woken up yet. It's probably a day off today. I want to sleep late. Please forgive me, mother."
"...Let her be happy." Ju Qianhua was silent for two seconds before she said lightly, "Anyway, that child doesn't like me, and I don't really want to repair the relationship with her right away."
"Mother..." Sixteen nights frowned this time.
Ju Qianhua showed a somewhat surprised expression, seemingly helpless, "Okay, let's not talk about Wanlihua, anyway, Youyan cares about her, and I have never treated her badly, besides... you are still here?"
"That's true." Izayoi nodded in agreement.
If you don't pay attention to Wan Lihua's mood, then seven years ago, you might not have accepted Wan Lihua's request to meet him, a "dead man" who almost lost his status as the young master of the Sigong family, and help him re-establish a new identity.
"But speaking of Wanlihua—" Tachibana Qianhua took a sip of tea that had cooled down a bit, "I heard that the daughter of the Spencer family also lives here?"
Sixteen nights agreed: "Because Mrs. Sawamura and Diplomat Spencer have gone back to the UK, and Ms. Sawamura doesn't want to go together, and living there alone is not reassuring, so Wan Lihua--"
"You don't need to hide it in front of me." Ju Qianhua pursed her lips, and the smile in her eyes became more intense, "Outsiders don't know, but mother, I know it very well. You and that girl are entangled by fate, so you don't have to pretend until now." alienate."
Her tone was still calm, but she could feel that there was no dissatisfaction. It could be said that she was relaxed and natural. She wanted to gossip with Shizaiye and care about his affairs as a mother.
"I..." Izayoi was a little embarrassed.
It's like being discovered by my mother after doing something wrong.
Obviously this should be the most distant experience for him...but he clearly experienced it as it was going on.
"what happened?"
"It's nothing, just as mother said." Izayo lowered his head, "But I don't mean to turn my back on Wanlihua, so—"
"I know." Tachibana Qianhua said lightly.
"That's it..." Sixteen nights understood the attitude of his mother, so he didn't make any more excuses.
"Anyway, it's the choice you made, and I don't want to interfere." Ju Qianhua's voice suddenly felt a little tired, she relaxed her body, and leaned on the chair next to her, "Whether it's about Wanlihua or about the Ju family, I have been in charge of it for more than 20 or [-] years... and now I still have to put my heart and soul into these things."
Tachibana Qianhua let out a quiet and long sigh, as if she wanted to spit out all the emotions that had been stagnant for many years in one breath.
Looking at the Patriarch of the Tachibana Family who always had a cold expression and occasionally smiled like a mother in front of him, that face that seemed to be eternally youthful, his brows and eyes were suddenly full of fatigue, and Shizaiye suddenly felt that Tachibana Qianhua was originally with Wanli The flowers are so alike.
On one side is the sunny daughter who knows no worries, and on the other side is the frosty mother who understands the misery.
"Mother is tired from the journey, why don't you go to rest first." He asked softly, "I'll let Sen come over—"
"No need." Tachibana Qianhua raised her hand to signal to stop.
"Yes."
With Tachibana Chika's stop, the main hall fell silent for a moment, Izayo refilled his cup with tea, then turned his head and looked into the courtyard.
Chapter 60 Mother arrives (2)
"How does it feel?"
Then, Ju Qianhua suddenly asked, her tone became more easy-going, and she seemed to be chatting more and more.
Izayoi didn't find it strange, he always felt this way when he was in front of Tachibana Chika, especially in recent years.
It's a pity if I have to say... Izayoi hopes that one day when Wanlihua is in front of her, the mother and daughter can talk leisurely like this.
"What do you mean, Mother?" Shizaya asked, "If it's Yinglili..."
"No, I mean—" Tachibana Qianhua pondered, "After seven years, I returned to the city I lived in, and saw the old relatives, how do you feel?"
"Well... I haven't thought about it too carefully." Sixteen nights smiled wryly.
"Didn't think much about it? It's really not like you."
"Naturally, I thought a lot when we met, but afterward, I actually found that there was nothing to think about." Izayo sat upright, his eyes met Tachibana Chika's gaze, "If I have to say it, I feel a little sorry for everyone. Obviously everyone is sad for my death, but I have to pretend to be someone else."
"Is it hard?"
"There will be a little." Izayo replied truthfully, "But what can I do. After all, I was incapable at the time, so I became what I am now. Now I am Tachibana Izayo, not Shinomiya Shizhu. What I have to consider and care about is the big and small things of the Tachibana family, not the Shinomiya family."
"Actually, you don't need to mind so much." Tachibana Qianhua said softly.
"My mother allowed me to take care of the Tachibana family's affairs while doing something else. It is already a great tolerance and permission. I can't go further. I want to tie the Tachibana family to my chariot and go head-to-head with the Shinomiya family." Izayoye refused firmly.
This made Tachibana Chika feel a little surprised.
She somewhat underestimated the child's determination and will, and even felt that what she just said was an insult to the child's will.
"It's my mother's slip of the tongue, don't take it to heart." Tachibana Qianhua sighed, sat up straight and apologized.
Izayoi looked at Tachibana Chika in surprise, he was surprised that Tachibana Chika would say "I'm sorry" so simply.
As an adopted son and adoptive mother, Izayoi has always been cautious and refrained from doing anything inappropriate.
Therefore, there is no time for him to apologize, and there is no place for Tachibana to make mistakes.
Besides, for the level of exchange of views just now, Izayoi has been mentally prepared from the beginning that he may talk about it one day, and it is nothing more than when to say it.
But... Tachibana Qianhua apologized.
She has never apologized like this to her husband or her daughter.
"Mother is...that's a serious word." Shiliuye couldn't laugh or cry, "You didn't say anything wrong, and you don't need to apologize to me."
"Because I value you very much." Tachibana Qianhua said in a low voice, "...as a mother..."
Her voice sounded harsh and unnatural, especially the second half of the supplement.
It wasn't because the person was lying or saying winsome things, it was just because...she wasn't good at expressing herself.
Sixteen nights knew this very well.
If there is anything in this world that Ju Qianhua doesn't understand and can't handle well, the item of "parent-child relationship" must be listed in the top three.
Because she didn't handle it well, and because she didn't know how to deal with it, she had always treated her coldly.
Ju Qianhua watched Wan Lihua's joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys silently, and endured the dissatisfaction that occasionally came to her, and when necessary, took the severe punishment that a head of the family and a mother should have.
As for expressing any motherly love to children, it is difficult to reach the sky.
"If mother can say that to Wan Lihua one day, she will probably blush too hard to speak." Shizaiye smiled slightly and accepted it in a tactful way.
"Maybe." Tachibana shook her head, "People are not perfect, and there are always many things to learn from scratch. You gave me the opportunity to learn how to play... no, it's the opportunity to play the role of mother."
"This is the first time I've heard you say..." Izayoi was deeply surprised.
Obviously, as the one who lost his biological mother since he was a child, and can hardly even remember his face, he doesn't know how to deal with these things at all.
"Steady and thoughtful, he knows how to express his feelings and thoughts truthfully, and he also knows how to be considerate of the people around him." Ju Qianhua smiled, and her facial features looked exactly the same as Wan Lihua's, with just a little more temperament endowed by the years, "The face For a child like you, there will be a lot less burden, and you don't have to be afraid of making mistakes."
Her so-called "mistake" refers to the "embarrassment" caused by improper handling when expressing her mother's feelings.
"Where, I am..."
Tachibana Izayo's voice suddenly choked up.
After all these years, I now look at the person in front of me who I have called "Mother" for seven years and regards him as my own, saying these words.
He suddenly didn't quite understand the causal relationship between them.
Obviously, as an adopted son, he is gradually learning how to deal with his mother, father, and adjust the family relationship.
He always thought it was all thanks to his mother's attitude, but it turned out that in her eyes, it was the same.
"To be honest, I have always felt suspicious and fearful from the unknown about the existence called 'mother'..." Izayoi got up from the cushion, was sitting on the tatami, bent forward, and walked towards Tachibana Chika A big gift, "But I feel lucky from the bottom of my heart to be the child of my mother."
He lowered his eyes and spoke word by word.
As soon as the words fell, Tachibana Qianhua stretched out her hand, took Shizayoi's arm, and asked him to sit up.
"That's why I said you child..." Ju Qianhua was obviously a little helpless, "Only you can do such a solemn etiquette that makes people restless."
"It's embarrassing for my mother." Shizaya shook his head and smiled helplessly.
He sat back slowly, when the door was slowly opened, and it was Sen who appeared outside the door.
"Master Patriarch, Miss Wanlihua asked me to invite Young Master Sixteen Nights over."
"Now..." Sixteen nights laughed.
But Tachibana Chika didn't mind, she raised her hand and waved outwards with a smile: "Go quickly, Izayoi, I happen to be resting for a while too. After lunch later, I still have a lot of things to ask you about this side of Tokyo. I will leave all of this time to you. There must be no mistakes, but I still have to ask questions."
"I understand, then please take a break, mother, and I will excuse you first."
Saying so, Izayo drank the remaining tea in the cup, got up and left the main hall.
Chapter 61 The Awkward Relationship Between the Tachibana Family's Mother and Daughter
Wanlihua asked Shiliuye to go there, but she was not in the side hall where she usually played leisurely, but in their room.
He thought it was already lunch time and Wan Lihua hadn't gotten up to wash up yet, but when he entered the room, he saw Ying Lili was also in the room, and the two were playing console games on the TV in the bedroom.
It's just that unlike Yinglili, who was sitting on the carpet beside the bed, who had already changed into light and comfortable home clothes, Wan Lihua was disheveled, and only put on the T-shirt that Izayoi had changed and hadn't washed yet.
Because Izayoi was much taller than Wanlihua, that T-shirt almost became the oversize long T-shirt that fashionable girls would wear in summer.
In addition, her posture on the bed was messy, even Izayoi's T-shirt couldn't cover it, revealing her pale pink lace panties.
Seeing this scene, he almost thought that Wan Lihua was fighting in the air... No, wait...
Just as Shiliuye was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly realized that this might not be the case, so he walked over to Wan Lihua's side, and stretched out his hand to feel for it.
"I really didn't wear it..."
"Is it necessary to wear underwear in your own room?" Wan Lihua said lightly.
His reaction was not so much indifference as habit.
"Look at the trick!" Ying Lili shouted excitedly.
"Oh!" Wan Lihua screamed.
Izayoi looked at the screen, it turned out that the Trish manipulated by her was defeated by the Ames manipulated by Eiriri.
"It's dead, it's all your fault!" Wan Lihua patted the handle lightly and acted coquettishly with Shizaiye, "Touch people as soon as you come in, are you a monkey?"
"No..." Shiliuye folded his arms and sat cross-legged on the bed, "The main thing is that Mother came over today, but you are at home with disheveled clothes. How can you see her when you turn around?"
"I don't plan to see her unless she tells me to go." Wan Lihua made a gesture of repelling Shiliuye, "Don't come to bed if you haven't changed your clothes, it's a bad habit."
"Okay, okay..." Izayo smiled wryly and slid down, standing on the carpet.
Ying Lili also leaned back on the bed, raised her head to look at Izayoi, there was some sympathy in her eyes.
After all, he was undoubtedly suffering from this kind of splint-like emotion.
Fortunately, Wan Lihua only complained a few times each time, and didn't put any pressure on Shizaiye.
"Don't look at me like that, make me seem really pitiful." Sixteen nights simply sat down, grabbed Ying Lili's shoulders, rubbed the tip of her nose with her and kissed her lightly.
"Well, of course I know you said it's okay." Ying Lili didn't count the surprise attack, and touched her lips a little embarrassedly, "But is this really okay? The relationship between Wan Lihua and Auntie——"
"Yinglili, don't talk too much." Wan Lihua's hand suddenly came down and pinched Yinglili's nose.
"I'm sorry, I just want to care about you..." Ying Lili apologized embarrassedly.
The three of them knew each other about this point. After all, Ying Lili had such a good relationship with her mother Sayuri, so they naturally felt that that was a more reasonable mother-daughter relationship.
