Episode 253> Baekhwajumihyoran. (2)
How much time has passed?
It hasn’t been that long since it happened.
As I watched the moon rise, it must have just passed midnight.
It was a bit late for guests to arrive.
Namgungbia couldn’t say anything about this.
Because the opponent was the opponent.
cue,,
Namgungbi Ah searched all over the place.
The woman’s movements as she sips the tea she somehow found are full of elegance.
all.
Despite the subtle traces of time, her appearance remained beautiful.
Just a quick glance at the clothes he was wearing told him that they weren’t ordinary clothes.
The flowing silence is heavy.
What should I say?
Namgungbia was resentful of herself for not being able to speak.
While they were just mumbling and moving their lips.
The woman sitting in front was the first to break the silence and speak.
“I’m sorry to come to you so late at night.”
The woman speaks with a faint smile.
It was even more difficult because I felt an unknown elegance in that smile.
“Ah… I too… have been training… so… you don’t… have to worry about it.”
“Thank you for understanding. As for the training… Do you always train at this time, Young Lady?”
“•••Ah, yes… .”
“I see. You’re diligent.”
As she said that, the woman began to scribble something on the letter she had taken out.
“•••Training…night.”
It looks like you’re writing something extremely important.
From Namgung Bi Ah’s perspective, she was very curious, but she couldn’t bring herself to sneak a peek.
The woman must have noticed that he was paying attention. She looked at Namgung Bi and let out a small cough.
“I’m sorry. I have some work to do.”
“no….”
“Can I call you Lady Namgung?”
Namgungbia nodded at the woman’s words.
I soon regretted it.

I should have answered instead of just nodding.
Maybe it was because I was so nervous, but I felt like my head was broken.
“I am comfortable….”
The woman who was speaking suddenly closes her mouth.
It seemed like he had something he wanted to say, but it didn’t seem to come out easily.
“•••Madam, yes. I think you can call me Madam.”
“yes….”
“I’m sorry to come to you so late at night. I heard that a relative of the Dae Namgung family is staying here, so I wanted to talk to him even though it might be rude.”
Namgung Bi nodded at Mrs. Mi’s words.
Is that really the reason?
I guess it’s true that I wanted to have a conversation.
It didn’t seem like he had come looking for someone whose last name was Namgung.
‘•••Why?’
Namgungbia didn’t know why she thought that way.
I had a feeling that might be the case.
If you call this a feeling.
Well, I’m usually never wrong.
“Sojo Namgung seems to have a rather calm atmosphere.”
Are you perhaps saying indirectly that I am quiet and boring?
If that was the case, I wanted to change it somehow.
There was no way for Namgungbi to do this.
Actually, I was closer to that side.
“I wish my daughters… could have resembled those aspects.”
“yes…?”
Is it okay?
Namgung Bi couldn’t properly understand the story that was unfolding.
What is going on?
Namgungbia tried hard to suppress his tension as he looked at the woman in front of him.
‘•••The stench… is it…?’
If you don’t pay attention, it’s almost non-existent.
This was also something that changed as Namgung Bia’s realm improved.
However, as his level increased, there were also improvements.
Still, it is no different from being shallow.
Just that alone made Namgung-bi feel at ease.
However, the silence continues.

Since Namgungbi was a person with no common sense, he couldn’t bring himself to say anything that would break the silence.
Above all, I don’t know how to treat the other person.
Guyangcheon was the son of a concubine.
I heard that the person in front of Namgungbi is his wife.
What should I do in this complicated relationship?
I remember something Guyangcheon once said.
-You need to study some common sense.
Is this also something that exists within the bounds of common sense?
If that’s the case, I should have listened to him a long time ago.
If I had known I would be in this situation.
“That kid.”
This time again, it was Mrs. Mi who broke the silence and spoke.
Namgungbia had to brace her back when she heard the words in her ear.
‘•••what…?’
If it’s that kid.
It’s clear that this is talking about Guyangcheon.
What would Mrs. Mi have to say to Namgungbia about Guyangcheon?
‘Evil… gall… ?’
If it’s a story about a concubine’s child that the wife would take out from the main wife,
That’s usually how it was.
From what Namgungbi has seen and experienced, it is like that a hundred times out of a hundred.
Are they going to bring up evil deeds that Guyangcheon may have done in the past or evil deeds that never happened before?
How should I react in that case?
‘Should I be… angry?’
If it were anyone else, I would have drawn my sword without hesitation.
I had to think about it now.
If he acts rashly, he will be held responsible.
It’s not something you should be responsible for.
Since he knew that he would lose instead, Namgungbia had to think a lot.
In order to be by his side, you must at least not cause any harm.
I’m waiting nervously for Mrs. Mi to speak next.
“Are you doing well?”
“•••yes?”
“Is that child good to Lady Namgung?”
It was such an unexpected question that my already dazed mind felt even more blank.
Advertisements
Are you…doing it well?’
Try to think of a question.
It’s gotten a little better these days, but he still avoids me when I approach him.
He says he won’t do that, but then disappears without saying anything.
And then he comes back seriously injured.
The tone of speech is also fierce.
And no sense… .
‘…?’
The more I thought about it, the more strange it seemed.
As Namgungbia’s expression became increasingly strange, Mrs. Mi smiled faintly and said.
“I can tell by the look on your face, young lady.”
Q… Ah…! That’s… .”
It was a mistake.
I had to manage my expression somehow.
Namgungbia hated herself for being weak in this area.
“As you can see, it has many thorns.”
At the words that Mrs. Mi brought up, Namgungbia tightly shut his mouth, which was about to make an excuse.
“I am a child who wears thorns to hide my wounds, so please do not hate me. It is the adult’s fault, not the child’s… .”
The words I heard were as dull as the first time.
But his tone was full of coldness, without any emotion whatsoever.
Namgungbi felt a strange sensation in each and every letter, and it felt like the tension in her chest was being released without her knowing it.
When you first encounter it.
Also, it seems like he’s a bit different from the character I imagined.
“I’m sorry for being rude late at night. I can’t waste any more time, so I guess I’ll have to go.”
Mrs. Mi sits up and bows her head slightly.
At this, Namgungbia also hurriedly got up, but Madam Mi motioned for him.
It was a sign that there was no need to see him off.
Namgungbi Arosun couldn’t just sit there.
Did she really come here for such a short conversation?
What did Mrs. Mi come to see?
However, Namgung Bi, who was not very knowledgeable and lacked talent, could not know.
Somehow I had a feeling that I couldn’t just let it go like this.
“•••Good… person.”
This is the story that Namgung Bi Ah had difficulty telling.
Mrs. Mi’s steps stop for a moment.
Advertisements
“Young lady?”
“Pretending not to care about anything and trying to protect those around you.”
The speech that was stammering and awkward calmed down as soon as the story about Guyangcheon was brought up.
It’s a novelty.
When it comes to him, it’s amazing how much he can change on his own.
“•••It may seem like he acts recklessly, but he ends up acting for the sake of others.” Of course, he has a rather bad temper, so his actions can be extreme.
Every day
Because life is a pain, you say that it is a miracle and that you will live for yourself.
Namgung Bi knew that his eyes were looking at his surroundings and not himself.
Why is it that sometimes he looks at himself in the eyes?
I can’t tell if there is guilt or regret.
I didn’t bother asking since he didn’t speak first.
Whatever it was.
Namgung Bi knew that he was taking care of himself, and that was enough for him.
“•••He is a good person.”
Even if you speak clearly.
Since there was still no one around to talk to, I couldn’t say what I wanted to say.
Mrs. Mi seemed to be lost in thought for a moment after hearing Namgungbia’s words.
He gave me the same shallow smile as before.
“•••Is that so?”
After saying that, Mrs. Mi slowly goes out and disappears.
It seems that Namgung Bi, who was left alone, endured the storm that had come.
I was able to catch my breath and let out the sigh I had been holding in.
As he said later:
Namgung Bi said that this day was the most nerve-wracking day of her life.
I walked at night.
The moonlight is shining brightly, but the road is dark and it is difficult to see ahead.
For an ordinary person without a bet, it would be difficult to find the way without a light to illuminate the way.
but.
Mihyoran walked down the street indifferently.
Since I had walked this road so many times, I couldn’t help but know it.
‘There were flowers blooming on the left.’
It’s gone now though.
The flowers were blooming.
I don’t remember the name, but it was definitely a white flower.
Advertisements
Because it was not managed, weeds grew wild and the trees grew ugly.
Mihyoran was not involved.
Because I knew the reason why my husband didn’t manage this road.
It must be because she doesn’t want to touch the garden she was creating, even now.
‘drip.’
Mihyoran’s impression was like that.
Mihyoran was walking slowly in the garden.
“Mujin.
Suddenly, I opened my lips and called out to someone.
-•••Yes, sir.
Then, surprisingly, a voice came from the air.
Mihyoran, who didn’t care about this, asked in a calm voice.
“How was it?”
-… As the world says, it seems like a lot has changed.
“For example.”
– For example, it seemed like he noticed my presence.
At the words of the man named Mujin, Mihyoran’s eyes lit up.
I felt something.
“Are you sure about that?”
– Yes. To be exact, from the moment I met you, you seemed to have sensed my presence.
At the moment of entering Guyangcheon’s room.
Are you saying that you noticed Mujin’s presence a long time ago?
That kid?
– That’s why it was hard to approach, but when I watched from afar, it seemed like it had changed a lot from before.
“…eww”
Eg •
Mi Hyo-ran let out a breath at Mu-jin’s words.
Defined the feeling of being in a daze.
“Is it joy, or embarrassment? Or is it regret?”
It’s difficult.
Emotions were still difficult for me.
I was concerned about the growth of the child I had been keeping an eye on.
I wonder if it’s because I’m free from the wounds of the past.
For Mihyoran, isn’t that something that can also be called expectation?
This was also a story that was difficult to define.
Advertisements
“Yes, it’s called Jinryong.”
– Yes. I heard it spread widely throughout the Central Plains.
I heard that the kid has a nickname.
I knew that many of the reviewers were going up and down.
Also, I found that it has found its way into the minds of more people.
‘That kid, you know.’
I can’t bear the wounds engraved in my heart.
A young child who was being crushed little by little.
When did it happen like that? While I was running away.
In that way, Mihyoran was immersed in an unknown emotion.
‘…’
Mujin was recalling their previous meeting.
But he didn’t tell his subordinates.
Gu Yangcheon wasn’t at the level of detecting his own presence.
‘I never thought I’d get caught.’
The moment you realize that your opponent has sensed your presence.
When I feel like I need to gradually widen the distance.
Goo Yang-cheon sent a gaze full of annoyance to Mu-jin.
Our eyes met.
From that far away.
And then.
[Oh, it’s really annoying. Please do it in moderation.]
How surprised Mujin must have been at the sudden sound.
‘•••how?’
The son of Danju that Mujin saw last.
In his opinion, it was already so damaged that it could not be recovered.
Not the body, but the mind.
But what about now?
‘Shallow.’
Inversely proportional to the distinct sense of presence that can be felt.
It feels too shallow to understand what kind of person he is.
This meant that he was quite good at hiding himself.
‘How on earth did it happen in just a few years?’
Even if Danju had been away from Se Ga for only a few years, it would only have been a few years.
However, the current Guyangcheon has changed everything about himself in that short period of time.
Could he have really done it on his own?
Advertisements
‘Or help from another force?’
Mujin instantly erased the thoughts that had been lingering in his mind.
There’s no way he wouldn’t know what he’s thinking.
“I understand. Thank you for your hard work.”
-no.
Mihyoran, who was walking slowly again, decided to ask Mujin something else.
“By the way. How is your son?”
-ah….
Mujin reacts as if he is momentarily taken aback by Mihyoran’s question.
That’s because I didn’t know Danju would remember about it.
After gathering his thoughts for a moment, Mujin answered in a hesitant voice.
-It looks like you’re doing well.
And it seems like he’s staying next to Danju’s son.
Judging from his expression, he seemed okay.
“•••Then that’s fortunate.”
-Your Majesty.
“hmm.”
-Can I ask how your last meeting went?
At Mujin’s question, Mihyoran’s steps suddenly stopped.
“How strange, you ask me something.”
-•••I’m sorry if I offended you.
“No, you don’t have anything to apologize for.”
The expression changes.
The emotions that had briefly appeared on Mihyoran’s face died.
He returned with a cool expression once again.
“He doesn’t seem like a good kid.”
This is an opinion about Namgungbia.
She is so beautiful, but she is a beautiful child.
It seemed that there were many shortcomings for someone who was a descendant of a noble family.
Although she has high talent, she is said to have the nickname of Sword Dancer.
This does not satisfy me.
There are many talented children in the world.
In this part, something else was more important than talent in martial arts.
‘I was going to take action if necessary.’
Namgung Se-ga.

..
!
… .
…
It is said to be the center of the four major families of the proud political party.
It was also a place where countless dirty things were intertwined.
How thick is that darkness, even if you have just one tiny fragment.
You can use this to break off an engagement or even put pressure on her.
What’s more, the top of Baekhwa.
In this regard, I had a lot of things to offer.
As someone who is not good at expressing myself, this is all I can do for my children.
As for Mihyoran, this matter could have been completely ended if things had been different.
-… He is a good person.
The last words uttered by Namgungga’s blood relatives.
Mihyoran put aside her thoughts for a moment.
“It’s a bit lacking in children, but it’s not bad.”
Mihyoran, who had spoken, slowly walked away.
I didn’t hear Mujin’s answer, but I didn’t care.
“… It’s still difficult.”
I wish I could do as much for my first or second child.
It was really difficult for the remaining children.
Because I don’t know if I can dare to do that.
Because she was not their biological mother.
I moved slowly and looked again at the place I had been looking at before.
The bush where white flowers had taken root.
cue,,
Not so long ago.
I was pushed from behind by my friend’s hand.
I remember the child approaching me with a look of utter fear on his face.
With a face that resembles her husband.
It was really funny to see tears welling up in his eyes.
The child said, extending his trembling little hand to me.
—Mrs. Mi, Mrs. Mi… This is…
What he was holding in his hand was a white flower.
It was a flower that his friend was growing in the garden.
Advertisements
Accepting the flower held in those trembling hands.
What did he answer?
‘Should I have said thank you?’
There’s no way he would have said such warm words.
If by any chance you say so.
There is no way the child would run into his mother’s arms shedding tears.
“That’s too bad.”
Mihyoran, who blurted out what she regretted, couldn’t figure out what it was.
It must have just come out of nowhere.
