Chapter 26

Episode 26

Namgung So-hye sometimes thought that words were really funny.

I could tell that just by looking at my current situation.

She is now in a large manor.

It was surprisingly beautiful to have such a manor near Dongjeongho Lake.

The pillars and walls were all clean as it had only recently been built.

With Dongdong Lake in front, the scenery was indescribably beautiful, and all the decorations inside the manor caught the eye.

But the problem wasn’t those things.

Look at your situation now.

“o......”

She started washing the clothes one by one with her white hands.

I was now doing household chores that I had never done before in my life.

She was dressed like the women who carried laundry to the stream, and her appearance was so shabby that no one would have guessed that she was Namgung So-hye, the leader of the Phoenix Order of the Murim Alliance.

Puk puk!

I hit the clothespin hard.

Every time, a loud noise was heard, as if he was spewing out anger.

“My situation... my situation...” Namgung So-hye was pessimistic about her situation.

She is the leader of the Murim League’s Phoenix Order and the Geumji Ok-yeop of the Namgung family, said to be the pinnacle of the eight major families. Many people looked up to her as a talented person who could receive the title of Queen of Swords in the future.

‘I was just asking for help, but he let out a sigh.

For the first time in my life, I asked someone for help.

I was worried that if I stayed there, I would either starve to death or be carried away in the open.

Thanks to this, I was able to enter this manor with the help of a small child named Hwa So-mi.

In fact, it was all I needed to receive a few nyang of silver coins, and it was an amount that could be repaid right away as long as I returned to Segana Maeng.

But Dan Woo-hyeon never gave money carelessly.

‘I can’t believe I’m working while I’m staying...’

That’s why she was currently banging on the clothespin.

Since they promised to give me money when it was time to return from work, I had no choice but to do hard work.

For no reason, I had a tantrum.

Thanks to her, Dan Woo-hyeon collected quite a lot of money from the bandits.

“Just do it quickly! “What kind of laundry do you do all day?”

“what?”

“No, am I wrong? What are you going to do if you’ve been doing laundry for an hour already? “I have a lot of work to do!”

“Then what should I do! “The grime cannot be erased!”

“More! How many times do I have to tell you to hit it hard for them to understand? “How can I use all the energy I had from eating earlier?”

Bubbly-!

There was something else that was giving Namgung Sohye a hard time.

This is Jang Sam-tae, a man who has lost his cowardice.

He followed me around all day, pacing around as if to keep watch. Then, when he saw Danwoohyeon, he suddenly picked up a broom and pretended to sweep the yard or work.

She raised her eyebrows and opened her mouth because of how disgusting that sight was.

“Then you do it!”

“No, it’s your business, not mine. Do you think it’s easy to make a living by begging for food? I have to do something like this to at least feed my mouth. Tsk tsk, what on earth do you know how to do?”

“Ugh...

something has happened.

She was outstanding from a young age and hated being left behind by others.

Because of this, I got angry and thought that I would do my job perfectly.

She hit the bat even harder.

“Ac! “Where on earth has this person gone!”

“Oh, stop talking and beating!”

“I understand!”

“Why are you yelling!?”

“You shouted first!”

For the first time in her life, Namgung Sohye trembled at the feeling of wanting to beat up someone weaker than herself.

I tilted my head in puzzlement.

In Hong Won-chang’s opinion, there was no dung fly the size of Jang Sam-tae in this world.

Cackle –

At that time, I heard a child’s laughter outside.

Dan Woo-hyeon quickly stood up and carefully opened the window. Hwa So-mi, who had been waiting outside, was seen wandering around the yard and playing alone.

As he looked at it and smiled softly, Hong Won-chang also opened his mouth in a happy tone.

“He’s a really good kid. “Rarely these days.”

” know.”

Is there anyone who knows better than Dan Woo-hyun that Hwa So-mi is a good girl?

That’s why we’re together, and because it’s that child, I want to protect it.

As I smiled softly while thinking that, I heard Hong Won-chang’s voice.

“Haha, but isn’t it time to send them to school?”

“school?”

Dan Woo-hyeon tilted his head.

He had heard of such a place, but had never learned anything about it. So I wondered if there was any need for it.

In his opinion, even if he doesn’t have those things, his life won’t be hindered.

Seeing Dan Woo-hyeon’s expression of not understanding, Hong Won-chang jumped up and opened his mouth.

“For children these days, school is a must. A must! What shame is there if a child can’t read even a single word? Also, you can make friends and get a chance to see your child’s talent. Isn’t that like killing two birds with one stone?”

“Hmm... Is that so?”

“yes! of course. Haha, I know a good school. Would you like me to introduce it to you?”

“...Let me think about it for a moment.” Looking at Dan Woo-hyeon’s hesitant expression, Hong Won-chang clenched his fists. The hearts of parents are the same for everyone. They do not want their children to eat good food, wear good clothes, and fall behind others.

Although he hesitates now, Dan Woo-hyeon will definitely come over.

‘This child will be my daughter-in-law in the future, but can’t she read even a single letter?’

Hong Won-chang laughed heartily.

This was the moment when the plan to become Hwasomi’s daughter-in-law began little by little. However, when he soon caught Dan Woo-hyeon’s gaze, he quietly lowered his gaze and cleared his throat.

I thought I might die the moment my true intentions were revealed.

Therefore, I had to move as naturally as possible.

Although it was smaller than the manor where Hwa So-mi lived, the well-maintained garden and everything she saw around her were different, so it felt like she was in another world.

That’s why I was even more excited.

Dan Woo-hyeon, who was talking to Hong Won-chang, didn’t think about coming out, but he still didn’t mind the cuteness. Because I was used to playing alone.

Look at the planted flowers and chase butterflies.

The fish swimming around in the small pond were amazing.

It wasn’t the kind of fish you usually see at home.

Strangely, the scales had color and were large.

‘Are these things called koi?’

Hwa So-mi picked up a small twig and left it in the pond. I burst into laughter as I watched the large carp run away in surprise.

“hey! what are you doing?”

It was at that moment that I heard a sound.

Surprised, Hwa So-mi lifted her head and looked straight ahead. There, a large boy stands tall.

He was so bulky and his fists were so small that it felt like I was looking at a small bear, let alone someone of the same age.

The boy came up to me, grinning. He doesn’t seem to like the idea of a child he doesn’t know playing in his house.

Since it was his first time seeing the child and he had not even heard that an important guest was coming, he probably thought there was no need to be cautious, so he showed no hesitation in his actions.

The boy frowned grimly and approached Hwa So-mi.

“You ask what are you doing?”

“Ugh...”

Hwa So-mi hesitated and took a step back.

I felt a bit of fear as the large, distracted child approached me. I looked around and found Dan Woo-hyeon. However, Dan Woo-hyeon, who went inside, still showed no sign of coming out.

Meanwhile, the boy came closer and closer.

“Who the hell are you? “This is our home!”

“Oh, that’s...”

I was startled by a loud noise and was about to step back again, but my legs got tangled and my body stumbled greatly.

With a short groan of “Ah!”, Hwaso-mi’s body fell headlong into the pond.

Return to Wa
