If it were not for the stain on Ise Sadakyo's body that could not be washed away, she would be the first to seek refuge with Shiba Yoshigan, so as not to let Ninagawa Makoto take the lead.
The Wu family is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but is full of male thieves and female prostitutes. For those who can truly unite their actions and knowledge, and keep their promises, the only one in the world is Sibo Yiyin.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki did not care about the great kindness and wanted to drive away Yoshigami Shiba. It was because she knew this subconsciously, but she just didn't want to admit it.
Yoshigan Shiba and Yoshiaki Ashikaga, one has the way of the world, and the other has the hope of defeating the world.
Fujitaka Hosokawa was almost able to get married to Yoshigan Shiba, a young man with extraordinary grace, but because of his stupidity, he missed this marriage.
She doesn’t regret? She doesn’t hate?
Ise Sadakyo felt that if this matter happened to him, it would become a nightmare for his inner demons. It's not that he couldn't figure it out, but Yoshigoshi Shiba was too good. If he missed him, he would really regret it for the rest of his life.
Ise Sakyo saw through Hosokawa Fujitaka's entanglement with Shiba Yoshigan, that is, he was unwilling to give in.
If he never got the chance, Hosokawa Fujitaka might be able to smile and let go. A secret love can be let go, and looking back in the future, when love is a thing of the past, will be endless aftertaste.
But just because there was only one step away from being able to tie the knot with a peerless beauty like Shiba Yoshigan, Hosokawa Fujitaka felt resentful in his heart and could never let go.
Ise Sadakyo still didn’t know how much harm Akechi Mitsuhide’s secret cynicism had done to Hosokawa Fujitaka, a proud daughter of heaven.
The heir to the Izumi-Hosokawa family, Hosokawa Fujitaka grew up with praise from everyone. She was unwilling to give up, and she could not convince herself to let go of this obsession and Yoshigan Shiba.
He should belong to me!
———
Sibo Mansion, in front of the quiet room and the sickbed.
Mibuchi Haru looked at the haggard Shiba Yoshiyin with heartache and said with a slight choke in her eyes.
"It's really hard on you, Otaisho."
In the past few days, Yiyin actually felt almost better. But when he heard that member Mibuchi Haru came to visit, he simply pretended to be unable to get up and lay in bed to meet the guests.
Mibuchi Haruhuan is his staunchest supporter among the Hosokawa Mibuchi family. The relationship between the two parties is profound and far exceeds that of ordinary samurai families.
Yoshigan is skeptical about the attitude of Hosokawa and his daughter, but he still has great trust in Mibuchi Haru, a good old man.
Although Harumi Mibuchi does not have a strong say in the Hosokawa-Mibuchi family, she has the blood of Izumi-Hosokawa family in her body and is the governor of the Mibuchi family.
If she holds her neck and refuses to compromise, Hosokawa and her daughter will also have a headache.
The alliance between the Hosokawa and Mibuchi families is inseparable from the core figure of Mibuchi Haru. She is a good old person, but she is not without a temper. It is really scary when an honest person gets angry.
Yoshigan took a fancy to this, so he lied down and pretended to be miserable, preparing to have a heart-to-heart relationship with Haru Mibuchi. Unexpectedly, Haru Mibuchi actually attracted Fujitaka Hosokawa, which made Yoshigan instantly embarrassed.
Hosokawa Fujitaka colluded with Wada Noimasa and others, preparing to abandon Yoshigan Shiba and complete Ashikaga Yoshiaki's succession to the throne alone.
If it weren't for the internal discord between the Echizen Asakura family, they would have had to turn to the Oda family for help, allowing the Maeda Toshiie to get the news and take the risk to report the news to Yoshihiro in Kanto.
It's impossible to say that their conspiracy has succeeded now and Yiyin has been left alone, which is really a passive trouble.
Yoshigan Shiba was very disgusted with Fujitaka Hosokawa, a disruptor within the powerful local faction.
He didn't want to know why this guy did this, but he had to express his position, let the Hosokawa Mibuchi family know his dissatisfaction, and let Hosokawa Fujitaka be more honest.
But at this time, Hosokawa Fujitaka was present, and it was not easy to act out the bitter love drama of Yoshihiro.
Hosokawa Fujitaka is Mibuchi Haru's biological daughter. He can't express his closeness to Mibuchi Haru and at the same time accuse her daughter, right?
While Yoshigan was distressed, he heard Haru Mibuchi shouting at Fujitaka Hosokawa behind him with raised eyebrows.
"Futaka!"
Hosokawa Fujitaka was shocked and said with a wry smile.
"Mother, this..."
Sanbuchi Haru snorted coldly.
"Um?"
Seeing that his mother was really angry, Hosokawa Fujitaka sighed, assumed the posture of apology, and said.
"Odaisho, I'm very sorry!"
She lowered her head deeply and gritted her teeth to endure the humiliation.
Hosokawa Fujitaka loves Shiba Yoshigan, but that doesn't mean she is willing to grovel in front of the man she likes.
She was born as a proud daughter of heaven, and sooner or later she would inherit the Izumi-Hosokawa family name. She had her own pride.
Everything she did was to be with Shiba Yiyin, instead of deliberately confronting him or hurting him.
However, Yoshigan Shiba's indifference and Haru Mibuchi's overbearing pressure greatly stimulated her self-esteem.
Hosokawa Fujitaka had to stand down and apologize, while Shiba Yoshigan tried to get up.
"Aunt Mibuchi, what are you doing? Fujitaka, get up quickly."
Officer Mibuchi Haru stepped forward to hold Yiyin down and said.
"Lie down and don't move around. You are still cold, so you can't catch a cold.
As for this bastard, let her lie down and wake up!"
Yi Gin felt very embarrassed when he saw Mibuchi Haru's face full of pity and caring for him.
Hosokawa Fujitaka is nothing, and he himself is not much better. Even though his illness is almost healed, he still pretends to be lingering on the bedside just to deceive Mibuchi Haru's sympathy.
The shogunate is full of actors and actresses. If Mibuchi Haru hadn't come from the Izumi Hosokawa family, everyone would be more or less concerned about the background of the Hosokawa Mibuchi family and would have fooled her to death.
Yoshigan thought he was more conscientious than the samurai of the shogunate, but compared to Mibuchi Haru's sincerity, he could only feel ashamed.
Having lived in Bao City for a long time, I don’t smell its stench. My piece of white paper has long been dyed black, so it’s not a good thing.
Yiyin was ashamed and his face was hot. Seeing him blushing, Officer Mibuchi Haru thought that his condition was relapsing and forced him back into bed.
"Otaisuo, are you okay? Do you want me to call the doctor?"
Yiyin quickly shook his head and said softly.
"Don't worry, aunt, my body has always been strong and there is nothing serious."
Mibuchiharu thought he was trying to be brave and thought of what happened to him. First, his family was destroyed and he was exiled, and now his wife died before he even got married.
As she thought about it, Mibuchi Haru's eye circles became redder and she couldn't help crying.
"Poor child, why is your life so miserable?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she had made a mistake and quickly apologized.
"Imperial office, I have lost my decency."
Yiyin shook his head and interrupted her, stretched out his hand from the quilt, put it on the back of her hand, and said.
"Aunt, just call me "Yiyin" as before.
There is no need for you and me to be so open-minded about titles such as imperial office.
I no longer have a mother, relatives, and now I have no wife. If you, aunt, treat me as an outsider, I really don’t know what the point of living like this is."
Mibuchi Haru couldn't help crying when she heard this. She held Yoshiyin's hand tightly and couldn't help apologizing.
"I'm sorry, Yiyin kid, I'm sorry.
The Sanyuan family is sorry for you, and I am sorry for you. You are a good boy, and it is we who are sorry for you."
Wanting to treat him as a relative, he revived the Izumi-Hosokawa family and gave the Mibuchi family a large territory. But what about the Hosokawa-Mibuchi family? Instead, they repaid kindness with enmity and only cared about their own interests.
The more Mibuchi Haru thought about it, the more she felt guilty. She looked back at Hosokawa Fujitaka and felt that she deserved death, so she couldn't help but slap her on the back.
Yiyin took Haru Mibuchi's hand and asked.
"Aunt, there is something I never understand.
The Shiba family and the Hosokawa Mibuchi family have an irreversible relationship. It can be said that they are dependent on each other and help each other.
This time, why do you want to abandon the recent waves and join forces with Wada Weimasa and the others?
What has Spurling done wrong in recent years? What has it caused you to be in trouble?"
Yoshiyin's words were a bit heart-wrenching, leaving Mibuchiharu speechless, but he was really confused.
In the past, Shiba Yoshigan helped the Izumi-Hosokawa family to expel the Miyoshi family that occupied Izumi country, and gave the land of Kitakawachi that he had conquered to Mibuchi Fujihide.
In reality, the position of the Hosokawa Miyoshi family's territory is quite bad. It is the front line of the shogunate's fight against the Miyoshi family and is always threatened by the Miyoshi family.
Whether it was about friendship or interests, there was no reason for the Hosokawa Mibuchi family to abandon the Shiba family and get involved with Wada Weimasa and others.
Yoshihiro previously thought that Akechi Mitsuhide was behind the scenes, causing a rift between the Hosokawa Mibuchi family and Konki Shiba. This led to the two families becoming divorced and making other plans.
But he came to understand that Mitsuhide Akechi had actually done nothing. In the recent negotiations between Shibarui and the Hosokawa Mibuchi family, Nizi Katsuhisa and Maeda's interests were also involved, so there was nothing wrong with it.
From this point of view, this matter was deliberately done by the Hosokawa Mibuchi family. Now, Yoshihiro was really confused.
The problem of Yiyin made Haru Mibuchi feel ashamed. In fact, the matter was very simple, that is, the Hosokawa Mibuchi family was too greedy.
Because of rumors in the capital, Ashikaga Yoshiteru misjudged the Hosokawa-Mibuchi family as the source of spreading the news about Ashikaga twin girls, and expelled the two families from the capital.
Because of his own selfishness, Hosokawa Fujitaka turned a blind eye to Akechi Mitsuhide's murder of the general. After the Kyoto Incident, Hosokawa Motonsune's thoughts became active along with Hosokawa Fujitaka's.
The relationship between the Shiba family and the Hosokawa-Mibuchi family is close, but if the Hosokawa-Shiba family can join forces, they will become closer and truly become a family.
Just because of this delusion, Hosokawa Motonsune allowed Hosokawa Fujitaka and Wada Yaomasa to mix together, causing a farce of abandoning Yoshigan Shiba and supporting Ashikaga Yoshiaki to go to Raku.
In the final analysis, they did not want Yoshigan Saba to have too much power in the postwar shogunate, so that they could use the interests of local powerful groups to guide Hosokawa to join forces with Saba.
Hosokawa Fujitaka can marry Shiba Yoshigan and get his wish. The Hosokawa Mibuchi family can also truly bind the Shiba family and gain greater political benefits.
Mibuchi Haru knew these things very well and raised some objections at the time. However, she could not control the Hosokawa mother and daughter, and could only watch the two families sink into each other step by step.
Now facing Yiyin's sincere eyes and seeing the miserable state of his illness, Haru Mibuchi felt his heart soften and said.
"It's not your fault, it's because we were too greedy.
The Kyoto Incident, the shogunate's chaos, Miyoshi's family occupying the center of Sanluo, Izumi and Hanoi were in panic.
You know that the territory of the Hosokawa Mibuchi family is in a delicate position. It has always been in a state of turmoil and war, and they are very sensitive to the situation.
The Si Bo family is an ally and will of course help us, but if the relationship between the two parties can go further, then..."
Hosokawa Fujitaka was lying on the ground. Hearing that his mother actually said this, he immediately blushed and raised his head and shouted.
"Mother!"
Seeing her daughter's face of embarrassment, Mibuchi Haru felt that this was too embarrassing, and half of her words were stuck in her throat, unable to come out anymore.
But this half of her words had already made Yoshigage completely understand, and something was wrong in the look in his eyes when he looked at Hosokawa Fujitaka.
We've been doing this for a long time, are you the one causing trouble behind my back? Are you so greedy for my body that you stab me in the back? Are you a primary school student? You just like to bully the kids of the opposite sex you like in the class?
Seeing Yoshigan staring at her, Hosokawa Fujitaka lowered his head and said nothing, his face so red that he was about to bleed. It was like she had been stripped of all her clothes and stood naked in front of Yoshigan, ashamed.
With Sibo Yiyin's intelligence and all his dirty little thoughts exposed, what would he think of himself?
Hosokawa Fujitaka was uneasy, but he still had a hint of expectation and wanted to hear what Yoshigan had to say.
But Yiyin's words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing her last trace of fire and crushing her pride to the ground.
"Aunt, I have sworn on the place where my ancestors died in battle that I will be her husband for the rest of my life.
Therefore, please don’t bother the Hosokawa Mibuchi family with this kind of thought in the future.
thank you."
Yiyin said it easily, but in my heart I really thank you and your whole family, mmp.
I have given you so many benefits, but you still want to covet my body and think that I will work for you for free and protect you all your life? This little calculation is too loud, so you still want to be shameless?
Obviously, Hosokawa Fujitaka is a shameless person. She lowered her head and pressed her teeth tightly.
Haru Mibuchi smiled in embarrassment. Faced with Yoshiyin's straightforward answer, she no longer knew what to say.
———
After visiting the patient, Hosokawa Fujitaka returned to the Mibuchi mansion with Haru Mibuchi with a cold face. The two sat across from each other in the inner room, speechless for a while.
After a long while, Sanbuchi Haru sighed.
"You also heard that Yiyin has only one person in his heart, Xiandai, and he only wants to protect his body like a jade for her.
You should stop having such wishful thinking and think about the heirs of the Izumi-Hosokawa family and find a man to marry..."
Before Mibuchi Haru could speak, Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was about to collapse under the weight of humiliation, interrupted her with an angry roar.
"How can he be as protective as a jade? Hahaha... How can he be so protective of himself? Mother, do you know how many women he has slept with?"
Mibuchi Haru's eyes widened and she looked at the sudden outburst of Hosokawa Fujitaka with a look of astonishment on her face. She simply couldn't believe that such vulgar words would come out of her always decent daughter's mouth.
She jumped up as a reflex and slapped Hosokawa Fujitaka on the face. With a crisp sound, Hosokawa Fujitaka's vicious words stopped abruptly.
"Ba Ge Ya Lu! Shut up! Do you know what you are talking about?"
Hosokawa Fujitaka received a slap in the face and lowered his head as if all his energy had been sucked away.
Haru Mibuchi pointed at her and cursed.
"You are willing to degenerate yourself and do such an unkind and unjust thing. Now, you are accusing that Yiyin kid of being despicable?
