"..." His hand froze in mid-air.

Just at this moment——

A ninja appeared outside the house, knelt down on one knee and said: "Sir Tobirama, Hashirama-sama is calling urgently."

"……I see."

"yes!"

After the house ninja left, Senju Tobirama hesitated and looked at his wife, who was still sitting on the ground with her head lowered and not saying a word, only her knees getting wet a little, and finally chose to turn around and leave.

——She did indeed do something wrong in this matter, so it was natural for him to accuse her.

——Let her... let her reflect on it first, and we will talk about the future matters later.

Before leaving, Senju Tobirama did not forget to ask the ninjas to "take good care" of his wife. Although he did not think that she would be so fragile that she would commit suicide, but...

It's always just in case.

And after he met his eldest brother, the latter's first words were -

"You didn't lock Jingji... I mean, did you?"

Qianju Tobijian froze, and replied with a little embarrassment: "No... I'm just temporarily imprisoned in the house." According to convention, in this case, he should imprison her as soon as possible and "torture" her. It's just that

,he……

"That's good." Senju Hashirama breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Just now, the head of the Hosokawa family came to me and took the initiative to confess everything."

"...What?" Senju Tobirama was stunned, but then he raised a question, "Did the news leak out?"

"Probably not." Senju Hashirama shook his head slightly, "The people sent out to investigate are all trustworthy people. Tobirama, you should know this best."

"That means..."

"It means they had the idea of ​​confessing." Senju Hashirama sighed slightly, "I'll leave this matter to you, Tobirama, to inquire carefully."

"...Okay, big brother."

A few days later.

Originally, this kind of inquiry could not take so long, but because he cared, Senju Tobirama repeatedly asked, confirmed, and verified all the information, and finally came to the following conclusion——

It wasn't that she didn't want to tell him her real name, but that she had lost all her past memories;

When she married Senju, she was coerced...or morally kidnapped;

Also, she never thought about lying to him all the time. The reason why the Hosokawa family came back to confess was because she didn't want to continue to lie to him.

...What is this?

If these are true, then what are the harsh words he said to her before?

Senju Tobirama reorganized the girl's life trajectory in his mind - for some reason, the girl who was seriously injured and lost her memory went down the river and was rescued. However, while she was still trying to learn the common sense of life, she was forced to wear white clothes.

Wuju married a man she didn't know and became his imposter wife. After the marriage, she worked hard to do her best, but in the end she still couldn't stand the deception of her husband, so she decided to expose everything.

But before that...

In addition, other plans of the Hosokawa family were also presented to him one by one.

He completely understood why Mrs. Hosokawa was always depressed every time she came... How could she not be depressed, being threatened and forced like that...

In this matter, maybe he and Senju were indeed victims, but she was indeed innocent. The culprit was definitely not her. Not to mention——

She has lost her memory.

With the Hosokawa family treating her like that, she obviously doesn't really regard them as her relatives.

In other words, the only relative she recognizes may be him.

However, he had treated her like that before and said such excessive words to her.

This kind of thing...

When he realized this, Senju Tobirama almost immediately dropped everything in his hands. After saying hello to his elder brother, he hurriedly returned to his yard.

He immediately grabbed the ninja and asked about his wife's condition, and the answer he got was--

"Madam didn't eat or sleep all day on the first day. She started eating and drinking normally on the second day and rested normally at night."

"...Really?" Qianju Feijian breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he knew that if something was really wrong with her, the family ninja would definitely come and report it to him. But even so, he still asked before he felt at ease.

After that, Senju Tobirama stepped into their bedroom and saw the girl kneeling in the middle of the room with her back to him. After hearing the footsteps, she slowly turned around and changed her direction to sit on her knees.

Senju Tobirama noticed that she was wearing a black kimono that he had never seen before. Since marrying Senju, she rarely wore such dark-colored clothes. He subconsciously asked: "What is this dress...

…”

The girl with loose black hair looked up at him and replied calmly: "These are the clothes I wore when I went down the river, and they are the only things that truly belong to me. Jing Ji asked someone to wash them for me.

It was clean and mended, and when I came to Senju, I put it at the bottom of all my clothes.”

Qianju Tobijian was stunned for a moment, and an ominous premonition suddenly occurred in his heart. He walked over slowly, knelt down in front of her, and asked softly: "Why... suddenly put on this dress."

"I have said it before." She smiled, "This is the only thing that belongs to me. Whether it is the Hosokawa family or the Senju family, I have kept everything you have given me in this room.

If you want it, you can take it away at any time; if you don’t want it, please just dispose of it."

"...What do you mean by that?" Senshou Tobirama's heart was frantically warning him with a sense of crisis. He placed his hands on his knees and clenched his fists slightly. His intuition told him that the person in front of him would say something he absolutely didn't want to hear.

However, he had to bite the bullet and ask, because this was something that the two of them could not escape.

"I'm not 'Hosokawa Shizuki'." She looked at him, her attitude still so calm and composed - maybe because she had thought about it thoroughly in the past few days, "Now, everything has been revealed, and the Hosokawa family is no longer

You need me again to maintain the relationship between Hosokawa and Senju. And you... also said that the only person you want to marry is 'Hosokawa Shizuhime'. I'm sorry that I have deceived you all this time. Until now, I don't

Know what to do to make up for it. If you are really angry, I will not resist, no matter if you are beaten or punished. But if you can, please don't kill me, because I still have things to do,

She smiled and said, "I want to know who I am and what my past is. Before that, I can't die."

"Also, after I have received all the punishment, please let me leave." Finally, she said.

"...Leave?" Senju Tobirama's eyes widened, "Where are you going?"

"This..." she replied after being stunned for a moment, "Actually, I haven't thought much about it yet. However, as long as one thinks about it, there will always be a place to stay."

"...You are my wife, and you said you want to leave?!" Qianju Tojian laughed angrily. To be honest, he never thought there was such an option, because it was simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.

Actually, I don't blame him.

In this era, a woman marries a man, entrusts her innocence to him, and becomes husband and wife with him. Then, no matter what happens after that, she will naturally follow his husband until death. Of course, she will never be separated.

, there are occasional exceptions, but that usually happens when the woman's status is much higher than the man's.

It's not that Senju Tobirama dislikes his wife's low status, but he really never thought that she would have the option of "leaving". Whether he was sad or angry, he really never thought of driving her away.

. Let’s put it this way, he would rather torture each other until he grows old with her, and he would never marry anyone else as his wife.

"Yes." She affirmed her statement very simply, "This marriage, which is full of deception, probably should not have existed from the beginning. Now that everything has been exposed, let it end completely."

"...even if it's a proxy marriage, you have indeed married me! Do you want to end it when you say it's over?"

"No, the one who married you is 'Hosokawa Shizuki', not me."

"But the person who gave me your body, time and emotions is you!" Senju Tobirama, who was already a little depressed, grabbed the wrist of the girl in front of him and said something completely unlike him.

"This is..." She gave a wry smile, "The price of lying. Now that you think back on your experiences during this period, it must make you feel sick, right? I'm sorry."

"..."

"Marriage is supposed to be a happy one. I'm really sorry for leaving you with such a bad memory." Uchiha withdrew his hand little by little, then backed away slightly and slowly leaned down.

He gave the other party a Doge seat and said, "I will wait for your punishment for the next day. After that, I will leave Senju."

"..."

After a moment, the girl sat up straight and stared at him coldly, as if to say——

Now that everything has been said, why don’t you leave?

It's disgusting to stay here shamelessly.

"..."

Senju Tobirama stood up slowly, staggering slightly, then turned around and walked hurriedly to the door. Then, he stood still and looked back at the girl who was still kneeling in the house.

She raised her head to look at him and asked calmly: "Is there anything else? Lord Tobirama."

Maybe he was hurt by the sound of "Tobirama-sama", or maybe he was affected by the painful emotions filling his heart. He said, "Leave if you want. It's best to leave tomorrow. Never see you again from now on."

Appear before my eyes!" and then left in a hurry.

Senju Tobirama didn't know that after he left, the girl slowly leaned down again, bowed to the empty door, and said softly: "Okay, Tobirama." Then, she didn't get up for a long time.

only……

The floor in front of me became wet unconsciously.

Senju Tobirama didn't know how he got back to the study, but when he came back to his senses, he found that his elder brother was standing in front of him with a worried face, saying repeatedly: "Tobirama, you are talking."

Ah! Why are you ignoring me?"
