Chapter 303 – 27. Men of Noblesse
Jonghwan blurred out his backstory.
The day before yesterday, I called Ina to my parents’ house and had a serious conversation.
As a wife, should n’t she be concerned about her husband’s affair with her? Even more, if the target is her family, is n’t it worse?
The answer he expected was, ‘Sorry. I’ll be careful.’ In a noblesse society where the idea of women over men is deeply rooted, women usually lead the family, and she, too, could not escape from the idea influenced by the times.
However, Ina’s answer for her was completely different from what he expected.
She replied that she had already reached an agreement with her husband regarding her infidelity her, and that it was difficult for her to limit his behavior her, citing her wife’s position her.
The answer that followed was really spectacle, but the shocking words came back, ‘I think it is also difficult to force family or husband and wife obligations to members of our family, where arranged marriages are the main focus.’
What do you mean? While she was doing this, she said to him, who was dumbfounded, ‘Isn’t the head of the family affair a problem that requires a conversation between the head of the household and the grandfather?’ I went to my mother’s room.
“I will… Medical charge….”
The men who heard Jonghwan’s words despaired. To think that Ina, one of the most important pillars of their plan, would say such a thing. Wasn’t she practically the same as giving permission for her husband’s affair! It’s hard to come up with a justification for this.
The original purpose is to spread the logic of ‘Ryu Si-hwan is a scum that disturbs his wife’s heart by threatening the harmony of my family by leaving his wife who is fine and having affairs with other women.’ It was to create an atmosphere of reluctance and criticism.
However, when he tried to attract Ina, even though he was aware of her husband’s affair with her, he answered something like, ‘Why is that a problem?’ If it goes like this,
‘Why are you guys making a fuss when the parties are fine?’
The word follows.
Of course, the men here are definitely victims, and Sihwan and the women are unconditionally at fault in that they are ‘infidelity’, but unfortunately, most of the noblesse upper class are those who have ‘unwanted marriages’.
‘In order to support this society, I married someone I didn’t want to love and raised my children and granddaughter.
If you say that, the sympathy vote will be directed this way.
Also, even if it’s not, ‘yes. Then let’s divorce. Then it doesn’t matter?’ Is the worst development for the men here. Their purpose is to live with their wife, not to punish them.
“How… How should….”
Hence the quandary.
“… How is it? Nothing but winning her wife’s heart Her… Isn’t there a way?”
Someone said that
Okay.
It was wrong to expect external factors from the beginning. If you want to solve problems between husband and wife, isn’t it basic to build affection while getting to know each other and talking to each other?
“From now on, let’s have a deep conversation with each of our wives. What are you complaining about and what do you want? We need such a process because we are people who got married for convenience. You cannot overcome this crisis with affection alone!”
“… You’re right. We have to focus on their hearts.”
They agreed with him and nodded their heads. I firmly resolved that there should never be a result like Sori-Gyeongsik again.

“Did you have to?”
“Then? Are you telling me to stay as an adulterous woman forever?”
Sori glanced at the woman in front of her eyes and lit her cigarette.
She seemed more at ease having ignited a kind of social fuse as she put an end to her marriage of over 1,500 years.
“You didn’t know when this was just there? But now that I’m divorced, I can’t be this light.”
“Ha….”
“A bitch like me had a conscience as small as a pea. Aren’t you curious?”
“Okay. It’s very, very strange. That her mother had a conscience. Oh my gosh!!”
The woman, acting exaggeratedly astonished, also took out her cigarette and smoked her back.
The model is, of course, Prometheus Cigarettes.
“Whoa… My friends are in a lot of trouble because of her mother her. At this point, there are so many things that they want to divorce too….”
“You can do it.”
“Is that easier said than done? Most of them are children living under the pressure of family power. I know everyone is free-spirited like my mother.”
“These are all excuses. I knew because I was fired.”
“It is different from my mother. What is someone saying to mom?”
“Hey. I’m also fucking up on top right now? They say they’re giving all the fuck’s shit about being a bitch who shakes the foundations of society, or a specter who brings chaos to society.”
As Noblesse has an average lifespan of well over 5,000 years, So-ri has both a mother and a grandmother.
Even that latitude.
It is to point fingers at the sound of them becoming one and divorced on their own.
Of course, it’s okay to ignore those who have withdrawn from the front line because they have no power, but it’s not easy for people to do that.
“It’s because it’s so sudden.”
“What did you say. If it hadn’t happened suddenly, I would have stopped it for all sorts of reasons.”
Not saying a word to her daughter, who gave birth to her embryo, she snapped the toe of her twisted up leg her.
“How are you?”
“What?”
“You also got married for convenience. Yeonseo and Soyeong are both grown up, so wouldn’t it be better to divorce?”
“I have no ideas.”
“Then do you like your husband now?”
“No, I have no ideas.”
“Tsk tsk tsk. This is why things are such a problem these days.”
Ha Yeon-ju was furious at the sight of her shaking her head.
“This is called mother… !”
“What? Do you also look like Yeon-seo? You get cocky.”
“You are abnormal!”
She screamed, threw down the cigarette she was smoking, and stood up.
“Anyway, have a good talk with Dad.”
“What. Put it back together? Are you crazy?”
“No, at least maintain a good relationship. He may be a man with no feelings for you, but he is a father to me.”
“Whatever. Do I have to regulate my relationship because of my grown-up daughter?”
“Who said something so extreme? Just keep a good relationship. I really can’t speak.”
“Yes. Reflect.”
At her childish reaction her, she sighed and left her room. As expected, common sense does not work against sound.
Even so, on the one hand, she wondered if she would have had such a sudden divorce. As Yeonjoo, who was also an arranged marriage by her family, she understands the dryness of that life and the suffocating sense of loss.
A part of one’s life, in a sense, the most important thing is to force marriage with someone you don’t want, and to be responsible for the remaining results throughout your life is accompanied by a considerable sense of depression.
In the early days of marriage, this melancholy is so great that it causes an unstable mental state, and it takes quite some time to get used to it.
But just because you’re used to it doesn’t mean you don’t have those feelings. It must be piled up somewhere, and when someone like Hasori explodes it, people who have been suffering the same pain explode here and there.
“Me too… Let’s think… ?”
She didn’t think much of it when she came, and she started to focus little by little on the performance and the divorce, which she didn’t really have in mind.
+++
The aftermath of Hasori’s divorce was greater than expected.
At that time, it spread throughout the upper class, and some women said, ‘I’m going to get a divorce too! I’m going to live my life!’ I thought it would naturally subside over time.
But that expectation was wrong. More and more people, even among men, who hate arranged marriages, have the courage to declare it.
Divorces soared.
The divorce rate among middle-aged people between the ages of 2,000 and 3,000 and those between the ages of 500 and 2,000 soared sharply, and the older generation, who criticized this phenomenon as “A specter that shakes the foundations of society,” Gradually began to find their own lives.
Divorce was spread here and there in the midst of really ‘Ah!’, And the noblesse society, which had been known as a byword for class, had become a field of desire where people roll around like a cage of animals.
And finally….
“We… I’m divorced….”
“… Yes?”
Even Taehee joined this trend.
She lowered her face with an expression of her apologetics and held out her papers to her husband across her table.
“Each other… Let me go on my way….”
“Tae, Taehee…!”
Her servant her, her eyes wide open, stared at her, revealing her feelings of betrayal.
While Sori was divorced and divorce was rampant in society, he put a lot of effort into it.
I cook myself, make accessories that Tae-hee would like, and also study strategy and history to suit her liking her for military knowledge … Anyway, he tried to appease Tae-hee by mobilizing everything he could.
But the result is today’s one word.
“I have someone I love.”
“Ah….”
Jonghwan screamed.
