my weird life

Chapter 406 Haruko (22)

The death of Toshio Inoue made his daughter Haruko Inoue, who was originally under the protection of his wings, quickly realize the cruelty of the adult world.

And, to repeat this uncomfortable experience more than once,
You have to get used to it slowly for the rest of your life.

Qingzi whispered a few words to Su Wu, and when she heard a loud noise coming from the door, she glanced at the door, then looked away, the expression on her face disappeared, becoming indifferent and dull,
A low voice came out of her mouth: "It's Uncle Kusama.

Uncle Kusama... came with his samurai. "

"Kusama Ze", whom Haruko calls Uncle Kusama, led a dozen or so warriors into the nave.

These ten people entered the nave,

The small room instantly seemed crowded.

Oki, who was waiting at the door, rushed into the house, and under the threatening eyes of many warriors brought by Kusama Ze, squeezed through the crowd, approached Miss Haruko, and said: "Miss Haruko!
I told them,

Only the owner is allowed to come to the middle hall to worship.

But they don't listen to me..."

When Haruko heard this, a pang of sadness welled up in her heart.
She looked up at Damu blankly, then looked at "Uncle Kusama" who was looking sideways, with a smile on her face, and whispered to Damu: "It's okay, Damu, go down and get busy, isn't this your fault."

"well."

Oki noticed that Miss Haruko's expression was not right,
She looked up and looked for Su Wu among the warriors standing behind her with white banners.

Even though he experienced the accident of the Inoue family,

The mind is still pure, and it has not changed much compared to before.

Seeing Haruko sad, I hope that 'Abu', who is also Haruko's friend and better at talking, will come to comfort her.

Damu found Abu's figure,
He winked at Abu,

After receiving Abu's nod, he breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered to Haruko, "Miss Haruko, then I'll go down first."

"Go down and get busy, Oki." The smile on Haruko's face was still maintained.

With his head down, Oki once again squeezed past the Kusama family warriors who were starting to stare impatiently, and even put their hands on the handles of their waists, and went to wait outside the door.

Kusama Ze looked calm,
Kneeling in front of the altar of Toshio Inoue,
Taking the funeral ceremony from the samurai behind him and enshrining it before and after the coffin, he turned to look at Haruko who was kneeling in the corner, and bowed to Haruko.

Haruko bowed in return.

"Niece Haruko, we haven't seen each other for two or three years, right?

Two or three years have passed, Haruko has become a big girl who can get married! Kusama Ze smiled all over his face. Looking at his smile, it is easy for people to feel close to him.

While talking, he stood up and walked towards Haruko,
Many warriors surrounding him followed Chao Qingzi and surrounded him.

The samurai of the Inoue family saw that the situation was not right, and immediately followed Haruko and gathered behind her.

The two sides quickly formed a state of confrontation.

Kusama Ze came to pay homage this time, but he was well prepared.

Just the samurai who followed him had surpassed the Inoue family samurai guarding the central hall in number.

Outside the nave,

The samurai recruited by the Kusama family are also gathering at an extremely fast speed,

Just waiting for the master in the middle hall to give an order,
You can immediately turn to the customer and start a big cleansing of Inoue's house!

Haruko was at the center of the vortex of great changes, but there was no expression on her face under the veiled hat. She watched Kusama Ze approaching with a smile on her face, still kneeling on the ground, and lowered her head and said, "Father just passed away. How could Haruko marry someone else at this time when her hatred has not been avenged?

Uncle Kusama laughed. "

"Hahaha..." Kusamaze's unscrupulous laughter resounded in the solemnly arranged nave.

He looked at Qingzi's sweet and lovely face under the white veil of the veiled hat, shook his head repeatedly and said, "Qingzi, in fact, uncle was entrusted this time to come here to propose marriage to you on behalf of someone else.

Oshima Masaaki, the governor of the Bizen country, is also interested in you,
If you want to marry him,

Regarding the conflict between the Inoue family and the Haruno family,

He is willing to come forward to mediate.

As a result,
Isn't it equivalent to avenging the Inoue family's family feud?
After all, enemies should be resolved rather than knotted,
Turning hostility into friendship is the best way to dispel hatred! "

Kusama Ze spoke condescendingly. After speaking, he looked at the Inoue family warriors who were guarding Haruko.

Haruko looked up at Kusamazawa,
He asked softly, "Uncle Kusama brought so many warriors into my father's mourning hall.

Just to talk about a marriage with me? "

"Yes!"

Kusama Ze nodded: "If Haruko agrees, this is the only thing today!"

The implication is to threaten Haruko,

If you disagree,
That's more than that.

"Uncle Kusama was the most frequent visitor to my house when my father was still alive.

The property bestowed by the father to the Kusama family is far more than that of other manor owners.

right now,

Uncle Kusama wanted to repay my father in this way,
When he died within seven days,
Just force his daughter to marry Bizen Guoguomori—an old man in his 50s?
Then assist Bizen Guoshou to annex the Inoue family's property and profit from it?
Am i right?Uncle Kusama. "

Haruko lowered her head and spoke without any fluctuation in her tone.

But these words made Kusama Ze's face darken.

When he smiles at people, people will have an inexplicable sense of closeness to him.

But when he was sullen,
It will also exude an aura that ordinary people dare not approach.

"As long as Qingzi marries,

No one will think that uncle is persecuting you.

Do you think uncle is discussing with you how to do this? "

Kusama Ze waved his hand,
The figure steps back.

Many warriors of the Kusama family who surrounded him drew their swords one after another, and the warriors of the Inoue family also drew their swords to fight back when they saw this!
The nave was filled with the rustling sound of blades rubbing against scabbards!
"Abu-jun, please."

Haruko was in the center of the vortex of the battle, but she still knelt on the futon without raising her eyelids.

A soft voice came out of her mouth.

next moment,
A tall figure separated from the Inoue family's samurai group and stood in front of Haruko.

Scarlet sword light blooms.

In the middle hall, only the sound of swords and bodies falling to the ground,
No one alive uttered a cry.

Not long after,

Cigarette smoke curls up in the middle hall,
The smell of incense covered the faint smell of blood.

In front of the altar of Toshio Inoue, there is a wooden table.

On the table was placed a frightened head—the head of Kusama Ze.

Su Wu came from outside the middle hall,

Sitting cross-legged on a futon half a body behind Haruko.

His clothes were spotless,
Not a single drop of blood was seen.

After sitting down, Su Wu calmly said: "Part of the warriors of the Kusama family were cut off, and the rest surrendered one after another. I have confiscated their weapons and handed them over to the warriors outside to guard them."

"Thank you, Abu-jun."

Qingzi thanked softly, she glanced at the head on the case, and said to Su Wu: "Abu-jun's method is very effective.

After worshiping this human head,

There are far fewer manor owners talking nonsense in the nave. "

She turned sideways, facing Su Wu,

A smile floats on the corner of the mouth,

His eyes were full of inexplicable brilliance.

Seeing her expression, Su Wu frowned slightly, and was always worried in her heart—whether this stubborn noble lady, who has been so stimulated today, will cause some unpredictable changes in her character ?
However, despite great changes, no one can truly remain unchanged.

Just look at it now,
There was something wrong with Haruko's state.

Thoughts were still spinning in his mind.

Haruko then said, "Abu-kun doesn't have an official name yet, how about taking the Inoue family's surname and choosing another name?"

"I already have my own name.

While at the Swordsmith, I made a name for myself.

——Zhuzhao, that is my official name. "Su Wu said.

Neither agreed nor denied.

His name in the simulation was not an important thing to him.

The original owner's father didn't make any demands on this, let alone any reminders.
It can be seen that 'A Xiong' doesn't value his name too much.

"Zhuzhao...Zhuzhao..." Qingzi murmured for a while, then asked Su Wu for advice with a smile, "It's just a name, Abu doesn't have an official surname, right?

How about taking Inoue's last name?

Thus,
We can be considered a family,

There is no distinction between each other. "

Hearing the sound, Su Wu pondered for a while,
She nodded and said, "Since Ms. Haruko insists, it's no problem for me to take Inoue as my surname."

"That would be great!"

The little hands under Haruko's sleeves were clenched tightly in excitement,
The speed of speaking accelerated a bit: "After today's incident, I will formally prepare for the ceremony of paying homage to the elders. At that time, I will announce that Abu and I have the same surname!"

"Do you need a special etiquette?" Su Wu was taken aback.

"Father worshiped Uncle Axiong as the elder of the family, and a formal ceremony was also held.

I worship Abu as the elder of my family, how can there be no etiquette? "Haruko replied.

When she was in front of Su Wu, she obviously relaxed a lot,

The girl's delicacy is inadvertently revealed in the words.

But when I sit in the central hall,
Now most people can only see her giving orders with a blank face—it is also because the first time when she wanted to worship Su Wu as the elder in front of the retainers and warriors, everyone despised her decision.

So I reflected on my behavior.

The way she looks in public now does make the retainers and servants feel a little afraid of her.

"In that case, I ask Miss Haruko to start preparing."

Su Wu nodded and continued: "I have concluded that among the manor owners who came to worship this time, which ones are still loyal to the Inoue family, which ones have already given birth to betrayal, and which ones are actually related to the princes and nobles of other countries. hooked up.

How does Miss Haruko plan to deal with these three types of manor owners? "

He took out a list from his pocket and handed it to Haruko.

Haruko took the list,

But he threw it into the brazier and burned it to ashes.

then,

She glanced sideways, and looked at Su Wu with a relaxed smile: "Leave these things to Abu Jun. Abu Jun must have a countermeasure in his heart, right?"

"...Miss Haruko has to learn how to do these things."

"Abu-jun."

At this time, Qingzi approached Su Wu,
Staring into his eyes, he said softly: "I can be Abu Jun's puppet to carry out his own will and carry out his own goals - as a warrior who controls ghosts and gods, you still never leave me,

Just like Uncle Axiong never gave up on his father,

Always have their own agenda, right?

But now, you are also a member of the Inoue family,

No matter what, I beg you, don't forget that we are in the same family, for the sake of our surname 'Inoue', don't abandon this family..."

Qingzi reached out and took Su Wu's palm.

Her palms are icy cold,

There was fear in his eyes.
