Chapter 250 – Anything, you said? (1)
What happens to someone who has never given up anything in their life when they finally have to give something up as an adult?
Maybe I’m looking at the answer right now.
“Madam? How did you get in here…”
“I didn’t see her last time, but I heard that Madam Eun has quite a face, so I decided to visit her often.”
“…Is that so?”
Over the past few days, Dang Hye-won and I have teamed up to defeat a woman who may or may not be the wife of this castle, who kept coming at us. Today, she even reached out to the general ward.
“Whether there’s something wrong with my body or not, I’m not going to let anyone stop me from meeting my acquaintance.”
“Of course.”
[It’s not Madam Eun, it’s Madam Eom… Her husband is a powerful figure who is involved in both the sheep and the cattle industry, and there’s even someone in the family who manages the funds in Japmun Castle…]
Dang Hye-won told me, but it didn’t seem to have much meaning to point it out.
Even though Madam Eom’s husband, who is shaking with fear, is a powerful figure, he’ll probably intervene and protect his soul shield if he gets involved in this situation.
“Madam Eun… No, Madam Eom? Hm, I wonder if there’s any treatment that might come to mind when I see the treatment Madam Eom is receiving?”
“Madam, I’m sorry, but Madam Eom is currently four months pregnant and is not receiving any special treatment.”
“That’s even better. Since I said there’s nothing wrong with me, if I see the treatment Madam Eom is receiving…”
My head is spinning. Just looking at this woman’s face makes me feel like I’m hearing auditory hallucinations screaming that she’s a slut.
Ju-ak-seon was standing next to me, explaining persistently, but I was indifferent.
Yang Ha-jung had already given up. How could there be a way to convince someone who doesn’t listen no matter how much you talk, especially someone like Yang Ha-jung?
<'Common sense-wise,' there's no way to make such a risky decision when you're already in a situation where you're receiving favoritism, but I couldn't find a way to persuade her.>
Although there didn’t seem to be a lot of trust in Ae-jeong, the result was the same.
‘The other party is a milf, a pretty and powerful milf…’
Have I ever had to exercise such patience as a milf partner? Especially with a milf who flaunts such considerable beauty?
No, I haven’t. Definitely not. Even Maeso-hyang, who was acting like a jerk when we first met, wasn’t like this.
“Do you have to leave during the time you receive the Jinmaek? Hm…?”
“Oh, why not? The lady of this castle is a very close acquaintance of mine…”
Madam Eom, who was receiving a stern look from the lady of the castle, quickly apologized to Ju-ak-seon for her behavior.
On the other hand, as Madam Eom had donated a considerable amount of money, Ju-ak-seon couldn’t just dismiss her, and as a result…
“Thank you! I’ll be quiet and stay by your side so as not to disturb you.”
The lady of the castle smiled satisfactorily and successfully wormed her way in here.
What a dirty world.
Kang Yoon was already in a situation where his insides were turning upside down, but if he had known what was going on in Lord Sung-yeon’s head, even the composed expression he was managing would have crumbled.
“Tsk tsk, you’re still far from being able to face me.”
Although the Bokma War was said to be a bloody battle, the government officials were a den of even more cunning foxes.
Unlike the martial world where you could draw your sword at any time, in the government officials, you had to make your opponents submit with the political power that came from the three tongues. How frustrating was that?
And in the eyes of Lord Sung-yeon, who had faced the officials who had shaken their tails or spread their wings while examining his complexion since he was young, Kang Yoon’s expression was so blatant that it was as if it was shouting that his insides were about to burst.
Lord Sung-yeon was insisting on staying here instead of finding another member because of the stiff attitude of Kang Yoon and Ju-ak-seon.
Of course, they maintained their manners. But even though they didn’t know who she was, they couldn’t help but feel that she was a powerful figure, and they couldn’t bow down more than necessary.
If Kang Yoon had known, he might have collapsed and groveled while exposing his belly, but anyway, he had no monopoly on the idea of acting alone.
“Niece.”
Lord Sung-yeon, who was enjoying his secret victory, met the gaze of Yang Ha-jung, who called him with a dark expression.
“I think they’ve followed us.”
“Haah… I told you it would be fine, but…”
“Isn’t that what they’re supposed to do?”
Madam Eom, who was listening to their conversation in the hospital room, looked puzzled, and Lord Sung-yeon patted her shoulder and stood up.
“I’ll be leaving now. I’ll come back again, but if you behave like my friend, that will be enough. Do you understand?”
“Yes, yes… Please take care, Lord.”
“Shh. What if someone hears us?”
Lord Sung-yeon, who quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth, left the room and headed to his private garden, which he had bought out entirely.
And as soon as he went inside and closed the door, six men appeared in front of him, bowing and greeting him.
“We greet Lady of the House.”
“Wouldn’t she have left a letter saying that she would be with Lady Peng?”
Although Lord Sung-yeon asked this, the lady of the castle knew very well why they had followed her.
Although they had a long-standing relationship, Yang Ha-jung was ultimately just a martial artist, and not someone who was qualified to escort a lord, despite her unknown skills.
Moreover, how could she blindly trust an unverified person?
She trusted Yang Ha-jung, but there was no way to convince others of that fact, so she left a letter and secretly left.
“If we have their help, Lady of the House will be even safer. So please consider it.”
They were bowing in front of her like this, but it was her father, the king, who had ordered them to protect her.
If she refused, it was obvious that she would stay by her side because of her father’s orders.
“Don’t worry, we will only reveal ourselves in times of crisis. Even ghosts won’t notice, so please…”
“Aunt, tell me. Is it true that even ghosts won’t notice them, as they claim?”
Lord Sung-yeon’s question was directed at Yang Ha-jung, who was standing behind them with a slightly resentful look.
Although she hesitated for a moment due to the resentful gaze mixed with a bit of resentment towards the fact that they had secretly taken Lord Sung-yeon away, she decided to answer honestly.
“I don’t know about the leader, but it’s highly likely that the others will be difficult to handle. Kang So-hyeop will notice.”
“What…! Although our status may be lower than Lady Peng’s, it doesn’t mean that we should underestimate the Eunjam technique of our schoolmates.”
“It’s the result of a conservative evaluation. Perhaps even the leader’s hiding place could be discovered.”
Not only Kang Yoon, but perhaps Tang Hye-won could also discover it.
Although she was not known to be a highly skilled martial artist, she had reached the peak in no time.
“Oh… You have a considerable level at a young age?”
“Yes, I wasn’t at that level before, but in less than a year, I have reached a considerable…”
Yang Ha-jung stopped talking. It was because she saw Lord Sung-yeon’s eyes narrow.
“I had a feeling that they often looked into each other’s eyes… My guess was right, and you were on that side, Aunt?”
“N-no, it’s not like that…”
Lord Sung-yeon waved his hand as if it was nothing, interrupting Yang Ha-jung’s flustered words.
Even if Yang Ha-jung heard their true intentions, she could guess that it was for her own sake rather than agreeing with their opinion.
“Anyway, if it’s someone with martial arts skills, it would be more comfortable. Can Aunt tell them?”
“…Mother, wouldn’t it be better to follow the advice of a physician for treatment?”
“No, that’s not it. Even if they go to the physician, they want them to turn a blind eye.”
“Mother! How can we trust those martial artists…! It’s just a matter of giving orders!”
“And should we declare it to the whole world? That the Lady of the House cannot bear a child.”
The leader remained silent, and Lord Sung-yeon laughed before meeting eyes with Yang Ha-jung again.
“Perhaps their words might be right. But Aunt knows very well that I cannot give up like this because of my body.”
“…”
“If they follow Aunt’s words, it would be good, but it doesn’t seem likely, does it? So…”
At the lord’s words, which meant to solve even small problems, Yang Ha-jung left the garden with the meaning of understanding and had no choice but to head back to the physician.
“…So, even if they enter the physician, it shouldn’t be a problem?”
After recovering from the shock of being betrayed by Lady Sung, I was learning about the budget of the physician from Tang Hye-won when Yang Ha-jung visited me.
And I was dumbfounded when I heard the news through her lips that she was bringing bodyguards here now.
“If they won’t be caught by people anyway, it doesn’t matter… But who is that person that they are receiving such protection like gold or jade?”
Even Yang Ha-jung alone is more than enough for a bodyguard. But adding a top-notch team of five bodyguards, it’s impossible not to be curious about their status.
“I’m sorry. I can’t tell you…”
Seeing her trying so hard to hide her status, I began to feel more and more uneasy.
Although she called him her nephew, the relationship between the two people was clear to anyone, and I reached one expectation.
‘Could it be that he’s really a noble…?’
No, it can’t be. It’s impossible.
Why would a noble with no medical condition come all the way here and make up a false illness to ask for a cure? And why me?
“It can’t be…”
“What are you talking about?”
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
Thud.
At that moment, Yang Ha-jung reached out and grabbed my hands that I had gathered. The smooth touch of her fingertips was ticklish.
“Sohyeop, I know very well that my nephew is forcing himself, but he cannot easily give up.”
“…”
“I’m not saying to blindly follow my nephew’s intentions. I’m just saying to let him stay here until his heart is at ease. Is that difficult?”
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether Lady Sung stays for a month or ten years, as long as Yang Ha-jung is not here. But I can’t say that…
“I’ll ask you this favor. If there’s anything I need, I’ll do it for you…”
“Anything?”
As soon as I heard those words, my gaze was drawn to Yang Ha-jung’s plump breasts as if by a magnet, and Yang Ha-jung quickly let go of my hand, realizing my gaze.
“Well, you really…”
“Anything?”
I reached out my hand and grabbed Yang Ha-jung’s hand, which she had pulled back.
Yang Ha-jung, who was being pulled towards me, tried to pull her body back for a moment, but it seemed like she didn’t have the strength to resist and was pulled towards me.
“I said anything, didn’t I?”
“H-how did you interpret those words like that…”
How else could I interpret them?
I grabbed Yang Ha-jung’s shoulder, which had come close enough, and pulled her towards me. Yang Ha-jung was surprised by the sensation of my cock touching her lower abdomen and trembled, but eventually gave up and stayed still.
“It’s so bright outside… T-this is dangerous…”
“Everyone’s busy, so they won’t come here. The Women’s Association also said they have somewhere to go.”
“B-but still… Ahh…!”
“Just once. When you go back, tell them that I gave you a hard time convincing me.”
As I caressed her buttocks, Yang Ha-jung moaned and buried her face in my chest, speaking in a mosquito-like voice.
“Just once…”
“Of course.”
Once becomes twice, and twice becomes three times.
I started to untie Yang Ha-jung’s waistband, looking forward to tasting her ripe body again after a long time.
