It was around four o'clock in the afternoon, in a large manor on the outskirts of Tokyo, Sakura Country.
"Mother, in the past, when you came back, there would always be many people to greet you. But today... there was no one to greet you?"
The four of them entered through the main gate of the manor. Along the way, they didn't see any guards, not even a single living creature.
"I didn't inform anyone, but...where are the guards from the past?"
Sato Yumi frowned. Moreover, she was now equivalent to being eighteen years old again, and her appearance was very different from before.
To be honest, she was really worried that she wouldn't be able to convince others in her current state.
"Did something happen?"
Sato Mikoto frowned.
"It shouldn't be that serious."
Sato Yumi frowned and was about to take out her cell phone to make a call.
At this moment, a cry of surprise sounded from not far away.
"Is it Yumi-sama?! No, why are there two Miss Mikoto?!"
Swish, swish, swish!
Hearing the scream, Jiangnan and others immediately looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a woman wearing a black kimono and a white strip tied on her head, covering her mouth with an incredible look on her face.
"Why are you wearing mourning clothes? Who died in the Sato family?"
Sato Yumi's eyes suddenly fixed, and she looked at the woman in the distance and said loudly: "Fangzi, why are you wearing mourning clothes?!"
"Mr. Youmei?! Are you really Mr. Youmei?!"
Da da da!
A burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and then the woman came quickly. After taking a few more glances at Sato Yumi and Sato Mikoto, she said in shock: "Lord Yumi! You... didn't you die in Dragon Country?"
"Sacrifice?! Ha, who spread the rumor?"
Sato Yumi's face suddenly turned cold, and she said indifferently: "Is it the second uncle? Or the third uncle?! Are they cursing me to death so that they can take over the management of the Sato family from me?"
"Master Youmei, it's great that you didn't die. Come on, let's go to the funeral hall and announce the good news of your return!"
Yoshiko Matsushita shouted with great excitement and even danced with excitement.
"Walk."
Sato Yumi's face was extremely gloomy. She came back this time to cause trouble for these guys, and by the way, she used the Sato family heirloom to open the box that had been passed down for many years, in order to truly establish her position as the controller of the Sato family!
Soon, a group of people followed Yoshiko Matsushita towards the mourning hall.
After just a few minutes' walk, the group arrived outside the gate of the mourning hall.
At first glance, all the people were wearing black kimonos with white cloth strips tied on their foreheads.
At this moment, with the appearance of Jiangnan and his group, the few short and extremely wretched men guarding the door were stunned.
It was not until Jiangnan and his group stepped into the mourning hall that they reacted.
"Nani?! Am I seeing things?"
"That's... Miss Mikoto? And there are two Miss Mikoto?"
"That's not right. How come the aura of one of the ladies, Mikoto, is as strong as that of Yumi-sama?"
"Wait... Could it be that Lady Youmei... has an illegitimate daughter outside?"
…
A series of incredible discussions were heard at the entrance of the mourning hall.
The exclamations from the door immediately attracted the people kneeling in the mourning hall and those sitting nearby.
"Ms. Mikoto is back?!"
"No, why are there two Miss Mikoto?"
"Who is the person next to Ms. Mikoto? Why does that man look a bit like a Dragon Countryman?"
…
Whether people were sitting or kneeling on the ground, all of them turned their eyes to Jiangnan and his group.
"Baka!"
now.
Sato Yumi looked towards the center of the mourning hall. There was a coffin placed there, and on top of the coffin stood her photo when she was alive. This made her swear instantly, and her eyes were instantly fixed on a middle-aged, wretched man in his fifties with a mustache who was sitting next to her and looking at her in confusion.
"Uncle, Takeru Sato, is my body inside this coffin? Are you so sure that I died in Dragon Country?!"
Sato Yumi walked forward angrily and started to scold him: "Old man, I think the reason you are so confident is because you were the one who sent the secret guards to kill me?"
"Baga, who are you?! Mikoto?! No, why are there two Mikotos?!"
Sato Takeru didn't react at first. He looked at Sato Yumi in front of him with an incredible look, and then he couldn't help but look at Sato Mikoto behind him, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Old man, take a good look at who I am!"
Sato Yumi shouted coldly.
"Is it Master Youmei?!"
"Strange?! How did Lady Youmei become so young?!"
"That's not right. Didn't the Second Master say that Lord Youmei died in Dragon Country? What's going on here?"
"Could it be that the Second Master really sent secret guards to kill Lady Youmei? Otherwise, how could he be so sure that Lady Youmei died in Dragon Country?"
…
Voices of discussion rang out in the venue, and everyone's eyes were focused on Sato Yumi, then on Sato Ken, with suspicion in their eyes.
"Bullshit, Sato Yumi, don't frame me! You disappeared for so many days, and I can't contact you. Who wouldn't think you're dead?!"
Sato Takeru's face was uncertain and he looked a little flustered. He tried to remain calm and said coldly, "Besides, who can be sure that you are Sato Yumi? In my memory, Sato Yumi is not as young as you. So, who knows if you are Sato Yumi's illegitimate daughter outside?!"
"hehe."
Hearing this, Sato Yumi laughed in anger, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Sato Takeru became even colder. She said coldly: "My respected second uncle, where are the secret guards under your command?!"
"My secret guards are all on missions, you have no right to interfere!"
Sato Takeru's eyes began to avoid.
"If you ask me, your secret guards have also lost contact!"
Sato Yumi narrowed her eyes and continued, "I was attacked by a group of secret guards on Hong Kong Island. I'm afraid they were sent by you, Second Uncle! How courageous! They attacked the controller of the Sato family so brazenly!"
"Sato Yumi, that's enough!"
Sato Takeru felt the gazes of the people around him, and his face became more and more gloomy and flustered. When he was about to say something else, he noticed Jiangnan next to Sato Yumi and scolded him coldly: "Who is this guy? Judging from his face, he is from Longguo, right? Did you betray the Sato family and join a family in Longguo?"
Swish, swish, swish!
In an instant, as Takeru Satoh finished his words, the eyes of everyone around him were once again on Sato Yumi.
Facing this slanderous old man, Sato Yumi was so angry that she was shaking all over and her eyes became colder and colder.
She is indeed a woman of Jiangnan now, but she has never betrayed the Sato family.
She even vowed to make the Sato family even more powerful!
"Look what this is!"
Sato Yumi knew that she could no longer hide it, so she took out the jade ring that Jiangnan gave her, put it on her right thumb and held it high.
