Chapter 56 404 Hot Spring Street (26)(2/2)

As a popular oiran, even though she is being suspected and targeted by the Takeuchi family, the other party has no definite evidence. At this time, Miss Ikuko took the initiative to lower her profile and invited the Takeuchi family to enjoy cherry blossoms and drink wine. Her sincerity was there, and she just sent thugs to guard her.

It would be too stingy for the Takeuchi family to refuse to accept the invitation in front of their store.

So even though the Takeuchi family was not very happy, due to their status and face, they still accepted Miss Ikuko's invitation.

Miss Ikuko seemed to attach great importance to this Yosakura Drinking Party, and sent people to the wine shop overnight to purchase a large amount of the best and oldest wine.

It was late at night, but the sound of wheels rolling over rocks was still constant, as cart after cart of wine was transported from the wine house to Yuzhiwu.

Everyone speculated that Miss Ikuko had offended the Takeuchi family this time and was now planning to lower her profile and use the most sincerity to try to please the other party.

People on the street talked about it——

"How many people are coming from the Takeuchi family and the Takahashi family... Isn't Miss Ikuko's carload of wine too exaggerated?"

"It can be seen that Miss Ikuko is really panicking this time and wants to host this cherry blossom viewing feast regardless of the cost."

"Ikuzhiwu certainly doesn't dare to neglect. The other party is the Takeuchi family. Even if there is something fishy about the disappearance of the young master, if you still want to continue doing business to make a living, Miss Ikuko cannot offend them."

"Don't talk about continuing the business. If this matter is not handled well, it's hard to say whether Miss Ikuko will survive."

Wine jars from the wine house were constantly being transported to Ikushi's house, but Qi Gu did not think that this was Miss Ikuko trying to turn the tide and doing her best to please the Takeuchi family.

After these few days of getting along, Qi Jiu did not think that Miss Ikuko was someone who could easily let go of her dignity, especially these aristocratic men whom she had no regard for at all;

Moreover, she did kill the young master of the Takeuchi family. This matter cannot be changed by pleasing the Takeuchi family. In any case, Miss Ikuko cannot really solve this matter.

Unless... these drinks are not used to please the Takeuchi family, but Miss Ikuko has other plans.

Qi Jiu noticed that all the alcohol that was brought in was high-alcohol. Of course, he did not forget that both Yu Zhiwu and Miss Ikuko ended up in a sea of ​​fire.

Is it possible that these high-alcohol alcohols are used for combustion? After all, alcohol is a good ignition material.

Qi Gu suddenly had an idea. Could it be that the fire that burned down Ikuma's house and caused Miss Ikuko to die in the sea of ​​​​fire, and the resentment lasted for hundreds of years, was not set by the Takeuchi family, but that Miss Ikuko planned to die with all this?

Judging from the clues he has now and Miss Ikuko's actions, Qi Qiu is more inclined to this answer.

What happened next made Qi Qiu more certain of his guess.

Before dawn the next day, Miss Yu Zi found Qi Qiu.

Miss Ikuko, who had been busy all night because of the preparations for the night cherry blossom reception, had no chance to close her eyes, and she looked extremely pale and haggard at the moment.

"Before tonight, take Xiao Hui and leave Yuzhiwu."

Saying that, Miss Yuzi handed a large amount of money to Qi Jiu: "Here are five thousand coins. Your wages for the past two days and the money for raising Xiao Hui in the future are all in it. This money is enough for you to live in the country."

Very good, I only have one request, take good care of the cats in Yuzhiwu."

Miss Ikuko tried to raise her hand to touch the little gray cat again. This time, the little gray cat wisely did not avoid it, but Miss Ikuko’s hand paused in mid-air. She hesitated for half a second. In the end, her stunned hand was still a little reluctant to let go.

The ground shrank back.

"Meow, meow, meow?" The little gray cat didn't pay much attention and turned his head to rub his head into Qi Qiu's arms.

Qi Chu was stunned and asked: "Why is Xiao Hui so important to you?"

Miss Ikuko smiled: "When I was a little girl, Xiao Hui took care of me."

Qi Jiu raised the corners of his lips and scratched the little gray cat's ears: "I didn't realize it, but you little guy is so old."

"Meow meow meow!" the little gray cat raised its tail in protest.

Miss Ikuko looked at the little gray cat and said thoughtfully: "But since I secretly drank the blood brew, it ignored me..."

Her voice became lower and lower, and finally she smiled nonchalantly: "Probably to punish me, a thief."

Qi Jiu: "Why did you entrust Xiao Hui to me?"

Miss Ikuko avoided the important and said lightly: "In the whole Yuzhiwu, the closest person to Xiao Hui is you. Apart from you, he doesn't pay attention to anyone."

"You know that's not what I mean," Qi Jiu looked at her steadily and asked straight to the point, "Are you planning to die with them?"

Miss Ikuko was slightly startled, then smiled nonchalantly: "What are you talking about? I just want to drink with them and enjoy the cherry blossoms at night. After all, they also want to give me, the oiran, face."

But Qi Gu, who has cracked the rules, knows very well that viewing cherry blossoms at night means violating the rules of Yuzhiwu.

Tomorrow night is the 15th night. On a moonlit night, go to the atrium to enjoy the night cherry blossoms. This enchanting cherry tree in full bloom is likely to attack guests who have never drank blood brew.

The trap behind Miss Ikuko's invitation is already obvious.

But since the other party didn't want to tell him, Qi Jiu didn't intend to continue asking.

"Miss Yuzi, may I take the liberty of asking you another question?" Qi Qiu said.

Miss Ikuko frowned slightly: "What do you want to ask?"
