He and Hayato Sato were soon taken away.
Masako Izumi suddenly relaxed and collapsed to the ground, and Chinatsu Ueno quickly caught her.
Masako Izumi leaned against Chinatsu Ueno, looked at the curtain, and whispered, "Shujun, thank you."
"Aunt Masako."
Upon hearing the voice, Izumi Masako froze, her face filled with shock as she slowly turned to look at "Asakawa Riko" standing to the side.
"you......"
Ryusei Hideaki walked over to Izumi Masako and helped her up. "Aunt Masako, I'm Hideaki."
Masako Izumi stood frozen in place, unable to react for a moment.
How did Xiujun become a woman?!
She is Xiujun, but who is the person behind the curtain?
Long Shengxiu briefly explained everything.
Masako Izumi slowly came to her senses, her hands trembling as she touched Hideaki Takamori's face, tears streaming down her face again. "My child, you've suffered so much."
“Aunt Yako, you are my mother’s best friend. Before she passed away, my mother told me to take good care of you.”
Upon hearing this, Masako Izumi burst into tears.
She and Long Shengxiujun's mother were close friends before she got married, but after they got married, they rarely saw each other anymore.
Especially after De Yi Kang Ren developed ulterior motives, she was strictly forbidden from meeting with Long Sheng Xiu Jun's mother.
It wasn't until after her friend's death, when, according to custom, Izumi Masako, as the head of the funeral parlor, was required to attend the funeral, that she saw her friend one last time at the altar.
Later, as Tokugi Yasuhito's wife, how could she not see Tokugi Yasuhito's ambition?
She knew that De Yi Kang Ren wanted De Yi Yong Cheng to replace Long Sheng Xiu Jun, so she poisoned De Yi Yong Cheng. This was the last thing she could do for her friend.
Takamori Hideaki gently embraced Izumi Masako, letting her lean on his shoulder and cry.
She knew that Aunt Masako had suffered terribly over the years.
At that moment, a maid entered, walked over to Tachibana Chiyo, and said something.
Chiyo Tachibana walked to Takamori Hideaki's side and said, "Your Majesty, Kaoru Matsushima has arrived."
Now that Tokuyoshi Yasuhito is dead and Tokuyoshi Shingo has been arrested, the shogunate is in complete chaos, and there is no need for Matsushima Kaoru to stay any longer.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Matsushima Kaoru bowed to Takamori Hidetoshi.
Long before Takamori Hideaki found her, he had already revealed his true identity, which earned Matsushima Kaoru's trust.
"Did you poison Deyi Kangren?" Long Shengxiu asked, voicing his doubts.
"Mm." Matsushima Kaoru nodded.
Why?
"Because I don't have much time left." Matsushima Kaoru's answer surprised Takamori Hideaki.
"I have suffered from a heart condition since birth. When I was a child, my parents sent me to learn esoteric arts in the hope of finding a way to cure my heart condition."
My master did indeed develop medicine for me, which suppressed my heart disease and allowed me to grow up safely.
When I left Yuuki Village, my master told me that as I get older, my heart disease will become more and more serious.
By then, his medicine won't be able to suppress it anymore. I hope that after I leave Xiyin Village, I can find a better doctor to cure my heart ailment.
At that time, I no longer cared about whether my heart disease could be cured; I only wanted to avenge my mother.
A year ago, every night around midnight, I would experience excruciating chest pain that would last for half an hour.
I know my days are numbered; I might just die from the pain any moment, so I have to take action.
At this point, everyone understood why Kaoru Matsushima had acted ahead of schedule.
Upon hearing this, Long Shengxiujun suddenly turned around and knelt down in front of Su Ruojin.
