Izayoi raised his eyes and looked at Tachibana Chika, in the eyes of his mother, he saw a similar attitude.

He knew that this day would come sooner or later, so he didn't have any repulsion, just stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

"Please follow me to the main hall, Mother, Sayuri's mother."

The two elders looked at each other, and followed Izayo all the way back to the main hall. After he poured the brewed tea and placed it in front of the two of them, Izayo maintained his sitting posture and stepped back a little.

Before the two of them could ask, Izayo bowed down respectfully, pressed his forehead to the tatami, pressed his hands together, and placed them in front of his head.

Another big gift.Tachibana Qianhua sighed in her heart.

Presumably, for Izayoi, this matter has always been like a Pandora's box, something that he does not want to mention, but has to mention.

"Please forgive Izayo's presumptuousness and concealment. The reason why I have been avoiding talking about my biological mother in front of my mother and Sayuri's mother is because of my personal emotional resentment... I am also worried that if I say it, I will be humiliated by the two who love me as their own."

"Humiliation?" Ju Qianhua was taken aback.

She didn't expect Izayoi to say this word.

"Little Shizhu... No, it's Xiaoliuye. Mom knows that your biological mother's background is different from mine or Tachibana Patriarch's. She's not from a famous family, but it doesn't mean that mentioning her will make us feel humiliated, right?" Sayuri is used to the child's unchanging caution over the years, thinking that it is he who has always used some watertight rhetoric in order to take care of their emotions.

But Izayo just sat up slowly, with his hands facing each other, hanging on his knees.

"No, I'm telling the truth." His eyes lost their usual radiance and were covered with a layer of darkness, "My biological mother, Sigong, is named Yezhu... her real name is Qingshui, and her name is Yezhu, she is not ordinary. An ordinary woman from a small household. A woman who works at night in Gion."

Unexpected answer.

For Sayuri, who has been active in Tokyo for many years, she is familiar with the situation of every influential family in the political and business circles, but there are some things that the Shinomiya family does not know much about.

For example, the matter of Shinomiya Kaguya and Shinomiya Shizhu's mother.

For a long time, Sayuri only knew that the Shinomiya main family kept this secret, and she thought it was just because the birth mother of the siblings was born in a humble background, so the Sigong main family felt ashamed and did not want to mention it.

She didn't expect reality to be more special than that.

"If that's the case, then I wouldn't be so concerned about my background. After all, there are always reasons beyond one's control in life, so you have to do that kind of work in Gion." Tachibana Chika was stunned, and then opened her mouth to explain Izayoi.

Of course she knew what Gion was, and those who would go to that place to have fun were often men from wealthy families.

Izayoyo's father, Shinomiya Yan'an, is naturally not exempt from customs. As for Juyan... it is one of the few cases where he has kept himself clean because he was afraid of being completely neglected by his wife.

"What kind of work does my biological mother do, what is the origin, and why, I have never complained. As the mother said, I can't help myself, I can understand." Izayo lowered his eyes, "But only The only thing I can't accept is the choice my mother made after having me and my sister."

What happened next was something Sayuri didn't know, she gently stretched out her hand, motioning for Izayoi to explain clearly.

"My biological mother worked at night in Gion. To be honest, when investigating my biological mother's past, I was also surprised that in this era, she also has the charm of an oiran in the Edo period." Izayoi said in a quiet voice, "And my biological father Shinomiya Yanan is her guest of honor."

"Oiran...?" Said Baihe pondered, but she had seen the photo data through some channels.

To sum it up in one sentence, she is an incomparable beauty. Even through old photos, she, who is the same woman, can perceive the demonic nature hidden behind that appearance, which can turn all living beings upside down.

"Unfortunately, she had a heart attack and had a heart attack while entertaining my biological father, and was sent to the hospital. Afterwards, she left Gion for recuperation and went back to her hometown to recuperate." Izayo looked at the two honestly, "When she returned to Shinomiya Ganan, she was pregnant with my sister and me. She said to him, 'There are your children in the stomach, please recognize them'."

"Even after hearing this, I don't think there is anything to worry about." Tachibana Chika said, "So in the end—"

"Because no appraisal has been done. My biological father may have done it out of emotion. Even after the death of my biological mother, he never asked me and my sister for an appraisal." Sixteen nights said softly, "If you think about it, maybe even this point , is also within her calculations."

"Then, for the Shinomiya family who pay attention to blood theory, Kaguya and him of unknown origin are like a pair of barbs. It's okay that Kaguya is a girl, but I'm a boy. I will definitely divide up the inheritance rights, and finally become their obstacle..." Izayoi said in a low voice, "Actually, even today, I am also thinking about a problem. If after I was born, my biological mother realized the danger that would be incurred, and then secretly sent me to some ordinary family for adoption...would the result be different?"

Sayuri closed her eyes.

Tachibana Qianhua could only pretend to be casually tidying up her sleeves.

This is a hypothesis that they, who have a wealth of life experience, are still unable to answer after seeing many vicissitudes.

"I think what I complain about may just be the kind of shrewd calculation that my biological mother cultivated in Gion, or was born with. She knew that she didn't have much time, so she found the most solid financial backing for the unborn children in her womb according to her own ideas. She calculated all the benefits that could be brought by it, but didn't think about even the slightest harm."

Izayoi narrated in a clear and calm voice, as if he no longer cared about these resentments.

Fate has come to this point, and it is futile to look back at the past.

The past can be learned, and the future can be traced.Things are often so unreasonable.

"So sixteen nights, you..." Tachibana Qianhua sighed, she originally wanted to comfort her.

In the end, he realized that this child doesn't need anyone to comfort him. He knows that these things are worthless, but if he doesn't keep this obsession like this, he won't be able to face the "mothers" in front of him sincerely.

"Even so, you don't have to blame yourself for this, and you don't have to feel that you are humiliating us because of your background." Sayuri looked deeply at Izayoi, "Seven of the first ten years of your life were spent by me. You grew up watching him, and Patriarch Tachibana watched you for the next seven years, we all know what kind of child you are."

"You won't let mother down, right?" Ju Qianhua said, taking a sip of tea.

Izayoi felt that his nose was a little sore, and he almost wanted to cry, but he still held back. He nodded slowly and vigorously in response, swallowed twice in his throat, and then said:

"I am very happy to be the child of my mother, and to be accepted by Sayuri's mother as her own child. In the final analysis, my original life experience is already a passing thing, and now I say it in person. I just want to give you an explanation. Give yourself an explanation."

After saying this word by word, Izayoi bowed deeply again, and then quietly got up.

After the door blocked the eyes of the elders, he walked quickly and quietly to the side hall where Wan Lihua and Ying Lili were. Before they could ask him why his eyes were red, Shizayoi had already thrown himself into their arms.

Feeling the warmth from the two hands stroking their hair and back, he hugged their waists tightly.

"Thanks……"

Prologue Hospital

According to the original plan, Chika Tachibana came to Tokyo just to stay in the villa for a short period of time, to see if Izayoi was not used to it when he returned to Tokyo, and then handle some Tokyo affairs by the way, and help him take care of those old Tachibana family subordinates who are not yet fully convinced by Izayoi.

Things are progressing smoothly, and Izayoi has been very thoughtful in the past few months. Most of the Tachibana family in Tokyo, especially the middle management, are quite supportive of him.

Therefore, Tachibana Chika felt that the trip was complete, and planned to return directly to Kyushu by special plane, but two days before the departure, Shizaiye proposed to accompany Tachibana Qianhua to the hospital for a physical examination while his school happened to be on vacation.

"How is it, Dr. Tanuma, are the results of all aspects of the mother's examination satisfactory?"

The next afternoon after the physical examination, he accompanied Chika Tachibana to Tanuma General Hospital for a comprehensive health examination.

The person in charge of the reception was Masao Tanuma, the director of the hospital, and an excellent doctor who was selected as one of the top ten famous doctors in the world. He was famous for the No. 1 heart bypass surgery for children.

It is difficult to invite him to come to see a doctor on weekdays, but this time he is facing the head of the Tachibana family in Kyushu.

He himself is also the private doctor of the Shinomiya family, so he naturally knows the value of this kind of patient, so he didn't neglect him in the slightest.

"Judging from the physical examination report, Ms. Orange's physical condition generally has no obvious diseases. It's just that all the indicators are low, and your physique is relatively weak. Please pay more attention to maintenance when the seasons change, so as not to contract seasonal diseases and induce other health problems."

Holding the reports compiled by other doctors, Dr. Tanuma adjusted his glasses.

"Does that mean there's nothing serious?" Tachibana Qianhua asked.

She knew that she looked young, but she was only well-maintained in appearance, and her body was not very light and flexible, so she had to walk slowly at all times, so as not to burden her body functions with too strenuous exercise.

But as long as she doesn't force her body as usual and works hard for big and small affairs, she doesn't actually feel uncomfortable there.

"Yes. You are very healthy, Ms. Tachibana." Dr. Tanuma nodded, and handed the stack of health examination reports to Izayoi, "You can rest assured."

"Look, I just said that I'm fine." Tachibana Qianhua turned her head and smiled at Shizaiye.

After Izayo put away the report, he helped Tachibana Chika's wrist to get her up.

In fact, Tachibana Qianhua was not so handicapped that she needed someone to help her, but since Izaya had the heart, she accepted it with satisfaction.

"My mother is not always healthy and strong, and this time I flew to Tokyo to help me. I was really worried that you were tired, so I insisted on asking you to come and have a checkup."

Izayo was also very happy about the result, he smiled and explained his feelings to Tachibana Chika again, and said goodbye to Dr. Tanuma who stood up to see him off.

"Excuse me, Dr. Tanuma personally received my mother's consultation these two days. It's hard work." Izayoi nodded politely.

"Where, it is our honor that a distinguished guest like Ms. Orange can come to our hospital for a health checkup."

Dr. Tanuma walked behind, watching the boy leave with his mother.

What surprised him was that they were a very kind mother and son, but they looked nothing like each other.

He sent the mother and son of the Ju family to the elevator, and had a polite and friendly social conversation. When they walked to the elevator, the door of the elevator just opened.

A woman with short blonde hair wearing a round sunhat with a wave brim was supporting an elderly man as he walked out of the elevator.

Dr. Tanuma was very surprised just seeing this scene.

"Mr. Yan'an! Why did you come downstairs? You should be resting in your room at this time..." Dr. Tanuma was very shocked and hurriedly persuaded.

"I feel good today, I want to come down and take a walk."

The man called Yan'an was none other than Sigong Yan'an, the patriarch of the Shinomiya family. There was even a part of the oxygen tube hanging on his face, which was the appearance of needing long-term oxygen supply to support life activities because of his extremely weak body functions.

"I just came here to report to Master Yan'an, that's the only way to go." Hayasaka explained.

Of course Izayoi knew this woman.

Hayasaka Ai's mother, Hayasaka Nao.

Nao's husband is Hayasaka Masato, the full-time secretary of the Patriarch of the Shinomiya family, so the couple's current work is basically related to the Shinomiya Yanan.

The two groups of people just met in front of the elevator.

"You are receiving guests, Zhengzao." Although Yan'an felt that he was in good condition, his voice was still weak, and even standing was a problem.

"No, this is just about to send the guests away." Dr. Tanuma hurriedly introduced each other as an intermediary, "This is Ms. Tachibana Chika, the head of the Kyushu Tachibana Family, and beside her is Master Tachibana Izayo."

"Jiangjia, is that right..." Yan'an was a little surprised, Lao Mai glanced at Tachibana Qianhua and Shizayoi twice with dazed eyes, but couldn't think of anything to say.

Maybe some social remarks can be made from the family relationship, but there is really nothing to say when we meet in front of this kind of hospital elevator.

What's more, the other party obviously didn't intend to socialize now. Tachibana Chika and Izayoi, who was supporting her, nodded politely to Yan'an one after another to show their greetings.

"Mother just came here for a health checkup today, without any prior preparation. If Patriarch Sigong doesn't dislike it, if I have free time in the future, I will visit the hospital in person on behalf of my mother." Sixteen nights smiled slightly, his ruby-like eyes filled with polite smiles.

"Are you... Tachibana Izayo..." Shinomiya Yan'an felt that this young man had an indescribably familiar feeling.

"This junior has just arrived in Tokyo, and there are a lot of immature things to do. I hope Patriarch Sinomiya will not hesitate to teach you in the future." Izayoi still maintained a faint smile, "My mother and I have other things, so don't bother Patriarch Sinomiya."

As he spoke, he gave Tachibana Qianhua a questioning look.

"Let's go."

Tachibana Chika nodded again to Shinomiya Ganan, Hayasaka Nao, and Dr. Tanuma who saw him off.

After approaching the elevator car, you can see Nao supporting Yanan and looking back into the elevator until the closed door blocks the sight of the two of them.

Undoubtedly, the eyes of those two people fell more on Izayoi.

"Mother, will you think I'm too heartless?"

When the elevator went down to the bottom of the building and Wei Wei helped Ju Qianhua to the car waiting outside the hospital gate, he asked this question.

"I can't tell you about this, mother." Tachibana Qianhua shook her head, "It's just that I suddenly realized that you recommended me to come here for a health check, not only because Tanuma General Hospital itself is a top-notch hospital, but also because... Four Patriarch Gong is hospitalized here to recuperate, right?"

"Yes."

"It's really a shrewd plan." Ju Qianhua teased him with a smile.

Of course, Izayo did not come to Tanuma General Hospital because she missed her biological father and wanted to accompany her adoptive mother for a health checkup.

To be precise, he wanted to confirm something.

For example, where is the rumored terminally ill Sigong Yan'an to be cured?

At first Izayoi also thought that he would stay in Kyoto, but judging from the current results, he chose the Tanuma Hospital, which is considered the top medical level in Japan.

"I made my mother laugh at me." Shizaiye shook his head.

"It just seems that the situation is worse than I guessed." Tachibana Chika said, "About 20 years ago, I met the Patriarch of the Four Palaces at a large-scale political and economic exchange event."

She chose her words very carefully, she didn't call Shinomiya Ganan "your father" to Izayoi, but used the ordinary way of addressing someone who had nothing to do with her.

Because Izayoi would no longer be willing to call that person "father" anymore.

"I didn't expect it to be so long ago."

"At that time I was still young, and I hadn't inherited the position of Patriarch." Tachibana Qianhua's tone was full of emotion, "At that time, the Patriarch of the Fourth Palace was already over half a hundred years old, but he looked full of energy...it's not as old as it is now..."

"It's rare to live in seventies, and that person didn't take good care of his body when he was young, and he will naturally do so when he's old." Sixteen Nights said flatly.

"I just feel a little emotional, thinking that in another 20 or 30 years, I will be like that..." Ju Qianhua laughed and said casually.

"No." Izayo retorted firmly, "Mom won't end up in that situation."

Ju Qianhua was stunned for a moment, "I know you want my mother to live a long and healthy life, but my life will come to an end, and I will die too..."

"But at least I won't be like that person. When he was terminally ill and didn't even know how long he could live, only his subordinates were around to take care of him, and he didn't even have a decent family." Sixteen nights looked at Tachibana Qianhua seriously, "My mother has me, Wan Lihua, and my father by my side."

"What else?" Ju Qianhua suddenly looked at him with very subtle eyes.

"You mean... the confidante by my side?" Sixteen nights blushed.

"I didn't ask you that, silly boy." Ju Qianhua was both happy and helpless, "I'm asking you and Wan Lihua's children."

"Of course there will be, but you have to listen to what Wanlihua wants when you live." Shiliuye pursed his lips.
