So, Namgung Ryeo and the four of us resumed our journey towards Jegalsega. Anticipating that they might try to take over Namgung Ryeo’s recruits at Namgungsega, our steps naturally quickened.
After a while, the four of us stopped in the forest for a short break. Danmokbi, who went into the forest to gather firewood, asked Namgung Ryeo,
“This wasn’t part of the plan, was it?”
In response to Danmokbi’s question, Namgung Ryeo chuckled.
In fact, it was Danmokbi who devised the plan to turn Namgungsega into chaos. It was also Danmokbi who deliberately bothered Namgung Ryeo, who didn’t know how to read, to make them exchange letters. There was no more solid evidence than that.
“Now that revenge is at hand.”
After leaving the final outcome, Namgung Ryeo suddenly gave up on revenge. According to the original plan, she should have stayed with Namgungsega, continuously presenting other evidence to sow discord between them.
However, Namgung Ryeo, the actual victim of revenge, responded with a relieved smile.
“I suddenly felt like it was all meaningless. And I’m satisfied enough with how much I’ve shaken up the family.”
“Such a mild anger wouldn’t have been satisfying.”
“That’s true. Even now, when I think of them, I feel a bubbling sensation inside my stomach.”
Thinking of family, I was astonished to find such intense hatred within me.
Suddenly, Mother who had taken poison and left, the pain that seemed to twist my intestines, the childhood spent abandoned in a distant mountain under the pretext of healing.
How could I forget all that pain? But Namgung Ryeo was now okay. As I ate the lunchbox made by Jegal Yeon, the hatred within Namgung Ryeo was also being swallowed down.
She answered with a relieved smile.
“Still, what can I do? I don’t want Yeon to hate me. If Yeon were to blame me for what I did to my family, it would really hurt.”
Looking at Namgung Ryeo, who was silently gazing at me, Danmokbi sighed with his nose and replied.
“Understandable.”
“It’s not something Danmokbi-nim should say.”
Namgung Ryeo pursed her lips. In her view, Danmokbi leaving Danmoksu was also in the same context.
‘In the end, he just doesn’t want to be criticized as cruel by Yeon.’
In a sense, the one who tamed such a villain was probably the strongest person. Namgung Ryeo shrugged.
“I didn’t expect things to turn out like this when I first took on your request to protect Yeon. I really fell for it, didn’t I?”
Now I really wanted to protect Jegal Yeon. I wanted to keep all the dirty things in the world from her eyes and take care of the bad guys first.
Is this friendship or affection? Namgung Ryeo, who had never exchanged emotions with others, didn’t know. She just wanted to cherish these emotions.
Danmokbi, who was watching Namgung Ryeo with a glint in his eyes, looked at her and said abruptly.
“Still, don’t follow us all the way to Danmoksega.”
“Oh, how mean. That’s not fair.”
“Hmph.”
Namgung Ryeo, who was giving Danmokbi a disapproving look, burst into a playful smile and asked.
“Can I tell Yeon this?”
“…Don’t.”
At Danmokbi’s words, Namgung Ryeo erupted into laughter.
So after running for several days, we were able to reach Jegalsega.
Returning to our home after a long time, everyone came out to welcome us.
The person who welcomed us most enthusiastically was, of course, our grandfather. After hearing the story of me being caught by the blood guild and everything that happened in Namgungsega, Grandfather wiped his beard and nodded.
“Yeah, our Mini did a solid job. There was an incident in Namgungsega, right?”
“Yes. It was really overwhelming. I also realized the preciousness of our home.”
“Right.”
Jegalsega has become prosperous. The proud nodding of Grandfather’s head suddenly became sharp. Sitting beside me, he looked at Danmokbi, who was sipping tea, and said.
“But why did Danmoksega’s cattle herder come to our Segga?”
Even for me, who had known Grandfather for a long time, it was a trembling expression, but Danmokbi, despite the gaze, calmly replied.
“I came to seek permission for a marriage with Yeon.”
“What did you say?!”
No, we should lay the groundwork first before getting into the story. Isn’t this getting too straightforward?
I was taken aback and grabbed the hem of Danmokbi’s clothes. However, Danmokbi, just as inexorably, was in full-speed acceleration.
“I oppose it!”
It was none other than our grandfather. Trying to stop Danmokbi, I, dumbfounded, said to Grandfather.
“At least listen to what he has to say before opposing.”
“There’s nothing to listen to! I oppose it.”
No, why are these people like this!
“You told him to come with a resolved heart!”
It’s easy to say that now. Staring at Grandfather with such a look, he shook his head like a child and said.
“That means to calm your heart, not to try to get along with this guy again!”
Where is such a saying? I grabbed Grandfather’s arm and pulled him, saying.
“Why do you dislike him so much! Look at his face. See what kind of personality he has through a conversation.”
“I dislike it. I hate it. Actually, I want to kick him out of this room right now.”
After throwing a tantrum like a child, Grandfather pouted his lips and said in a small voice.
“This guy, really. Love blinded him, and now even Grandfather doesn’t recognize him.”
Only then did I realize why Grandfather was acting like this. I grabbed Grandfather’s large hand and chuckled.
“Grandfather, I missed you.”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
