Someone had already started speaking. "… Yamashita Hisashi, what's going on? Isn't that Miyoko? "
Xin Yu maintained her original sitting posture, but she could hear their conversation clearly.
"Miyoko, it's really Miyoko, she's not dead?"
"Why didn't you mention that Miyoko was staying here?"
"…"
Yamashita Hisashi narrowed his eyes, looking at the slender figure not too far away. Just as he was about to speak to the group of excited old antiques, Xin Yu suddenly stood up and nodded slightly at them.
She was not wearing a kimono, she had always been against wearing Japan's national clothing, which made her feel disgusted. So every time she saw Yamashita Hisashi in a kimono, she hated this man even more.
But at this moment, she knew that she had to act as if nothing had happened. She took a step forward and walked towards the crowd.
Yamashita Hisashi really did not know that she could speak Japanese, and that she could speak it so fluently.
"Thank you everyone for still remembering me. Actually, I've always been good. Yamashita hid me away to prove that even without me, Miyoko, he could still manage the Dao Academy well."
As soon as she said this, she had naturally admitted that she was Miyoko.
All these years, she actually did not die. Because of the internal strife of the Dao Academy, Miyoko sacrificed herself for Yamashita Hisashi.
She was originally the daughter of the former leader, but she fell in love with Yamashita Hisashi at first sight and insisted on marrying him. In the few years after their marriage, Yamashita Hisashi rose to the top and kicked away her father's most capable assistant, Matsumoto Kazuda. In the end, Miyoko died and left behind her father's last words, saying that her father had personally promised that the position of the highest power in the Dao Academy must be given to Yamashita Hisashi.
Everyone watched as Miyoko breathed her last breath and made a promise before they agreed to let Yamashita Hisashi take the position.
After he took the position, Miyoko was also buried. But unexpectedly, after so many years, she was standing in front of everyone, alive and well.
It was like a conspiracy.
The excitement on their faces gradually turned into anger. Yamashita Hisashi took a step forward and grabbed Xin Yu's wrist. He pulled her behind him and ordered his men, "Send them back."
"Wait a minute!"
One of them suddenly spoke up. He pointed at Miyoko and asked, "Yamashita, Miyoko is not dead, but you hid it from us for so many years. What conspiracy do you have?"
Xin Yu's lips curled up. For the past half a month, she had been restrained by Yamashita Hisashi, but she naturally did not let go of any opportunity to find out more about Miyoko, Yamashita Hisashi, and the internal conflicts in the Dao Academy.
Sometimes, when Yamashita Hisashi went to the study, he liked to bring her along. What he did not know was that Matsumoto Wada had asked someone to teach her Japanese for more than ten days. In addition, she had been paying attention to the conversations of the people below her. Her Japanese could be said to have improved by leaps and bounds. Gradually, she understood many things.
Previously, Matsumoto Wada did not tell her why he wanted her to appear as Miyoko at the so-called meeting.
After all, Miyoko was Yamashita Hisashi's wife. Even if she "died and came back to life," it would not be a big blow to Yamashita Hisashi, right?
But later, she found out that Matsumoto Wada's motive was not so simple.
Of course, he still lost to Yamashita Hisashi, but she had plenty of opportunities now.
Miyoko died because of the internal struggle between Matsumoto and Yamashita. She loved Yamashita Hisashi very much, but it was said that Miyoko's father did not trust Yamashita Hisashi very much. So, before he died, he wanted to pass the position to Matsumoto. Because Matsumoto was brought up by him, and he was also his most capable and trusted assistant, he was completely Japanese. Yamashita was different. He had taken the position halfway, but as his daughter liked him, as a father, there was nothing he could do.
But before he died, he still passed the position to Matsumoto.
At that time, Yamashita was indignant. At that time, Miyoko was already his wife. For the sake of her husband, she made use of Matsumoto's feelings for her to scheme against Matsumoto. The Dao Missionary Association was originally an organization, and the successor of the organization, who wanted to sit in a high position, would usually have a so-called "token". Xin Yu had seen the white jade-like ring on Yamashita Hisashi's index finger, and it seemed to be one of the tokens. The other should be a seal, but she had never seen it before. But occasionally, when she saw Yamashita Hisashi signing documents in the study room, she had seen him taking out the seal from the drawer frequently. It was green in color, made of jade, and should be that thing.
That year, Miyoko had stolen those two things for Yamashita Hisashi, intending to let her husband take over her father's position. Matsumoto and Wada naturally did not agree, and thus, there were many years of internal conflicts.
This matter was known by almost everyone in the Dao Missionary Association, and in the end, Miyoko died because of Yamashita Hisashi. Before she died, she still insisted that the position belonged to Yamashita Hisashi.
That was how he managed to sit in a high position by stepping on fresh blood. But there was a portion of people below him who were not convinced by him, and these years, they have been restless. All along, they felt that Miyoko's death was very suspicious.
Previously, when Yamashita Hisashi wanted to bring Xin Yu back to Japan, his assistant suggested to let Xin Yu appear in front of these people as Miyoko, so that they could shut their mouths.
Of course, he only thought of one part of it, and that was how this "Miyoko" should appear in front of everyone again.
If she completely obeyed Yamashita Hisashi, that would naturally be the best. But if it was the other way around, Yamashita Hisashi would only face more internal problems.
"What conspiracy could I have?"
Yamashita Hisashi sneered, his eyes cold. He squeezed Xin Yu's wrist very hard, almost to the point of breaking her wrist. Xin Yu knew that he was suppressing his anger, because he was not stupid. He already knew that she had appeared in front of everyone in such a hurry, deliberately causing trouble for him. "Do you think that all these years, you have always been against me, and I have made things difficult for you? Or do you think that under my management, the Dao Missionary Association is getting more and more depressed? This is my woman, and I finally managed to get her back to my side. Why must I let you know? "
The middle-aged Japanese man's expression changed slightly. He pointed at Xin Yu and retorted loudly, "… What do you mean by 'your woman'? She is Miyoko! Yamashita, did you deliberately let Miyoko fake her death? Isn't it because of Miyoko that you are sitting in this position? You have lied to all of us! "
Yamashita Hisashi's originally ugly expression became even colder. His deep eyes glowed with a green, bloodthirsty light. He grabbed Xin Yu's hand and refused to let go. At this moment, Xin Yu was very tactful. She did not say anything and stood obediently behind him.
"Why would I lie to you? In all these years that I have been in charge of the Dao Sect, have I let your wallets shrink? No matter who my woman is, whether she is dead or alive, shouldn't you remember that I am still the one in charge here? "
Yamashita Hisashi had been in charge for so many years and he still had some charisma. No matter how this person had climbed to such a high position, he was the one in charge now. When he spoke, he had a dignified aura.
After being questioned by him, everyone pursed their lips and no one spoke again.
Yamashita Hisashi pulled Xin Yu in with a gloomy expression. Some of them wanted to say something but were stopped by the people beside them. Xin Yu heard the last sentence that they whispered to each other. The gist of it was — Don't be too anxious. Let's discuss and observe the situation.
If she could hear it, Yamashita Hisashi could naturally hear it too.
What he didn't expect was that the person whom he had been watching would come out at this time. When he entered the room, he realized that the servants were gone. The man flung Xin Yu's wrist away and grabbed her shoulders, forcing her towards the tatami. Xin Yu lost her balance and stumbled. Yamashita Hisashi forcefully pinched her shoulder blade. She felt the pain, but she didn't make a sound. The expression on her face was full of ridicule.
"Leng Xin Yu, I have underestimated you! Who allowed you to come out? What are you planning? "
Yamashita Hisashi's eyes were filled with coldness as he clenched his fists tightly. Perhaps he really couldn't control himself anymore as he raised his hand and gave Xin Yu a tight slap. The force of the slap was so strong that Xin Yu was sent flying.
Xin Yu's body landed heavily on the tatami and her cheeks were red and swollen.
Soon, blood flowed down from the corner of her mouth. Xin Yu could only hear a buzzing sound in her ears. She was so dizzy that she couldn't even find her direction. She took a deep breath and supported herself against the wall to stand up. Her whole body was wobbling.
Yamashita Hisashi probably didn't expect himself to be so rash. He actually raised his hand and gave her a tight slap. Suddenly, an image flashed across his mind. It was as though he had been electrocuted. He stood there in a daze and his expression was complicated.
Xin Yu laughed. She stretched out her slender fingers and gently wiped the corner of her mouth. She raised her eyebrows and the light in her eyes was even colder than his. "You finally hit me. Yamashita Hisashi, does it feel good to hit me? Did I make you angry? That's great. You used to hit Miyoko like this right? She loved you so unwaveringly. For the sake of your position and power, how many times have you let her down? After she died, in order to make up for the guilt that you can never make up for, you targeted me. Don't you think you're ridiculous? "
Yamashita Hisashi's expression was very strained, and his tall and straight body was completely tense at this moment. His thin lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes were fixed on the woman in front of him. For a moment, he didn't see Leng Xinyu, but Miyoko, who had been dead for many years.
There was a deep fear that he had ignored for many years. He couldn't control himself.
"Shut up. I won't allow you to say anymore! Leng Xinyu, I told you to shut up! "
"Are you looking at Leng Xinyu or Miyoko?"
