Upon hearing the news, I was genuinely surprised.
“If the head of the Namgung family is the family head, that means Namgung Ryeo’s father, right?”
In the original work, he was quite a villain. His role was to try to separate Danmok Chang and the love-struck Namgung Ryeo.
“He didn’t die this early!”
Namgung Ryeo, with a tender heart unable to disrespect his father, struggled with a storyline that readers found tiresome.
“Even I think that part was a bit tedious.”
Anyway, the important thing now is that I need to go to Namgung Sega. I turned to Jegal Min beside me and said,
“We should ask Jegal Sega too. It’s the family head’s funeral, someone should definitely attend.”
“That’s true.”
“There’s a saying that even if you avoid the slope, you should definitely attend the funeral.”
Even Danmok Sega, to the point of tying me up, was sending me away, and it was clear that there was no one in the main house to go to Namgung Sega’s funeral.
While secretly hoping Jegal Min and Danmokbi would go together, I played along.
Jegal Min also seemed to think my words were not wrong and pondered.
“First, what if we contact them?”
“…Alright, then I’ll borrow a horse.”
“Good idea.”
After finishing the conversation with Danmokbi, Jegal Min wore a perplexed expression. Realizing that he must continue to stay close to Danmokbi, he seemed to be struggling with this fact.
Danmokbi smiled as if she understood, saying,
“I’ll contact you as soon as the news spreads.
It was virtually a soft rejection.
“Finally, he’s dead.”
Danmokbi wasn’t particularly surprised by the news of the death. The fact that Namgung Gaju sent out a death notice earlier than in the original work was because the two of them had planned it.
“He had accumulated so much resentment. In the end, he reaped what I sowed.”
Namgung Gaju, with countless concubines, even had lovers called local managers in various places. The countless children born under them were also uncountable.
What Namgung Ryeo did was just incite them. They didn’t even know how many siblings they had, after all.
[Dash] Living like this, when Namgung Gaju dies, you will have nothing. Properly acknowledge your children, and secure your property in advance.After Namgung Ryeo’s mother died and the new stepmother took over the master bedroom, she became somewhat sharper due to the sudden arrival of concubines. The atmosphere in the house worsened, and it reached a point where it wouldn’t be strange for someone to poison another.
Danmokbi sighed through her nose.
“Namgung Ryeo turned his back on Namgung Gaju, so no one will suspect anything. And Danmok Sega has someone to diligently attend external events in place of Danmokbi. Namely, Danmoksoo.”
“Of all times, that person is nowhere to be found. It’s a funeral, and he would have rushed there as if it were a feast.”
As the person who loves the time when I can be called the family head the most, he would have been lively and energetic even at the funeral.
“He’s a foolish person. If it were me, I would have created a force capable of challenging the Sega.”
Whether it’s due to a lack of capability or an inability to extend a hand to others because of pride, from Danmokbi’s perspective, either way, it was a frustrating story.
“But what happened to that person?”
In response to Danmokbi’s cold question, the commissioner bowed his head and replied.
“Trying to shake off everyone who went out for reconnaissance, he ended up missing the traces.”
“All of them shaken off? Does he have that much skill?”
“It’s hard to say.”
Does that mean there is an accomplice?
Danmokbi tapped her chin.
‘If they found Yeoni, there should be as few variables as possible.’
Someone she never thought of suddenly started doing something unexpected.
“An incapable person who can’t lie probably went there because he said it was a sacred mountain…”
“I don’t understand why he’s heading to Shinsan now.”
As the commissioner said, it was right. Shinsan had shattered every single rock in its place, so why go there? It wouldn’t be just for building a small shack by himself.
The commissioner asked with a serious expression, “Could it be that he’s trying to summon a divine beast again? When Lord Danmok Chang also sent Danmoksoo to Shinsan for medical treatment, and now he’s leaving on his own. It really can’t hide the suspicion.”
“To summon a divine beast, you need a talisman.”
However, Danmokbi, who was originally a talisman, had now become strong and was not swayed by such sorcery.
‘Can anyone summon a divine beast?’
Since all the people related to summoning divine beasts were dead, there was no way to get an answer. If she knew this would happen, she would have left at least one alive, she thought, then shook her head.
Yeoni is currently at the mansion. Leaving unnecessary risks for the sake of possible dangers is like planting a mine for later.
‘It’s fortunate that Danmoksoo left the house. Seeing us confront each other might hurt Yeoni’s feelings.’
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
