“As far as I remember, there’s no such thing. If Oyeori owes a debt to Taejo, it’s another story. Honestly, who is the one who suffered so much from covering up that stupid calf’s accident.”
“If it’s a debt that can’t be repaid in a lifetime, should someone lose their life at least once? Or is it a deep wound that must be embraced and lived with until death?”
Excited by Sukju’s words, Woohyun chimed in.
“That’s right. Because of Oyeori, Taejo almost died, but because of Taejo, has Oyeori suffered any losses?”
“Hey, Kang Woohyun, shut your mouth.”
Sukju, seeing Segyeong’s noticeable expression, waved away Woohyun’s comments.
“Almost died…”
“Woohyun exaggerated. Just a little cut on the head here.”
Taejo nonchalantly touched his forehead, which had a scar. Segyeong, feeling unnecessary anxiety, tightly squeezed Taejo’s hand.
“Then, before that? We got to know Oyeori since we joined the company, but you said there has been a long-standing friendship with your families.”
“While there was a friendship, it was particularly close between our mothers, not me. In fact, when I was young, I got along better with Yeowook. After that, my mother brought her over, and I took care of her a bit.”
“Nothing happened back then?”
Taejo nodded. It was when they were young, so what could have happened?
“It might be too long ago to remember. Oh, Oyeori’s mother passed away, right? That happened unexpectedly…”
Knock, knock.
Woohyun turned around at the knocking sound. When he saw the person entering after opening the door, his face twisted in discomfort, as if he had stepped on something unpleasant.
“Are you crazy? Seriously. Do you know where this is?”
Woohyun grumbled in amazement, as if he were fed up with her shamelessness. Taejo turned his body to block the way to Segyeong.
“Yoon Segyeong, your body seems to have gotten a bit better.”
Yeorri, holding a bouquet full of lilies, entered the hospital room.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
As soon as Yeorri entered the room, she glanced over Segyeong’s body.
Contrary to the fuss made by the media about her being frail, Segyeong looked fine except for being a bit pale. The slightly protruding belly under the blanket was still there.
“They were spreading lies in the media about inheritance, weren’t they?”
“Are you sorry? Because it didn’t go the way you wanted?”
“Sorry? No one would think that if they heard it. As if I purposely dunked Yoon Segyeong in the water.”
Yeorri shrugged her shoulders, claiming innocence. Segyeong was stunned and let out a breath.
“You didn’t do it on purpose? You were laughing like that back then.”
“I only let go of Segyeong’s hand because she asked me to. That’s all I did. So, I told her not to resent me.”
“I knew it. You said if I let go of your hand back then, I would fall into the water.”
“Segyeong.”
Excited Segyeong’s back was gently stroked by Taejo. Feeling a slight pull in her lower abdomen, Segyeong, who flinched, took a deep breath to calm her excitement.
“Why are you here? Who invited you?”
“I didn’t come because someone invited me.”
Yeorri responded bluntly to Taejo’s cold attitude. She wouldn’t have come here if she hadn’t received a call from her father.
While having a conversation with her daughter after a long time, instead of a warm greeting, Oh Sajang expressed his anger to her.
What did you say to your father? Why are you smearing my face? He went to Yoon Segyeong’s hospital room and apologized to her instead of expressing gratitude.
But why do I have to do that? Taejo’s mother saved my life, but she never said thank you or sorry to me.
“At that time…”
As Segyeong spoke, Yeorri tilted her head slightly.
“He said that to me? That Taejo owes something to Oyeori.”
“Ah, that.”
At Segyeong’s words, Yeorri looked at Taejo.
“Isn’t Taejo oppa saying anything? Or did he forget because it happened when he was too young?”
“What…”
Taejo looked puzzled. He couldn’t understand what Oyeori was saying. For her to say it happened when they were young, as if she had forgotten. Oyeori remembers, but there might be something he doesn’t remember.
“Do you know why Taejo oppa has been alive until now?”
With a sudden remark, Segyeong glanced at Taejo. When their eyes met, he shook his head as if he didn’t understand what Oyeori was talking about.
“It’s all thanks to our mother. If it weren’t for that, Taejo would have died a long time ago.”
At the unexpected remark, Segyeong chuckled at Taejo. Oyeori was looking at him as if she didn’t understand what he was saying.
“That’s, what are you talking about?”
As a calm voice interjected, Yeorri turned around.
Whether she had been listening or not, Ma Yeosa and Yeryeong were entering the hospital room together.
“Madam.”
Ma Yeosa, who differentiated Yeorri, scanned the inside of the hospital room. Segyeong sitting on the bed, Taejo guarding her, and the gaze she threw at Kang Sangmu and Seokju. She then looked back at Yeorri.
“I asked what that nonsense was just now. Why are we suddenly talking about Sunhwa here?”
“…”
“And you might need to explain why Segyeong is like this.”
As Ma Yeosa pressed for an explanation, Yeorri smirked. She gave a shameless attitude, causing Ma Yeosa to furrow her brows.
“Are you laughing? Do my words sound funny to you?”
“Why are you so angry? Yoon Segyeong isn’t dead like our mother.”
“What?”
Yeorri raised her lips mockingly toward the perplexed Ma Yeosa.
“How long will you pretend not to know in front of me? Shouldn’t I be the one receiving an apology? I know everything too. How our mother died!”
“Pretend not to know. What are you talking about…”
“Don’t act like you don’t know. I’ve known for a while. You saved Taejo oppa who fell into the sea that day and died trying. It wasn’t slipping from the rocks! And still, you hide such facts from me and disgustingly pretend to care for me…”
“Wait! So, are you saying that Sunhwa died while saving Taejo?”
Interrupting Yeorri’s words, Ma Yeosa looked at her son. Taejo, with a stiff face, nodded slightly as if confirming what he heard.
“Goodness, what is this…”
Ma Yeosa touched her forehead in amazement. Where did she hear such words to say something like this…
“Don’t pretend. I know everything.”
Yeorri retorted bluntly. Performing such gestures in front of me, who knows everything, made it look like she was acting to deceive me.
“No. Well. Some of what you’re saying may be right. But…”
“…”
“Whoever told you such things, there’s something you misunderstood.”
Yeorri raised an eyebrow as if questioning what that could be.
“Your mother did die in an accident. It’s true that she drowned while trying to rescue a child who fell into the sea. But that day, the person she was trying to save wasn’t Taejo…”
Madam Ma’s words trailed off.
Then, after a deep sigh, she looked at Yeorri and continued.
“It was you.”
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
