Chapter 515 – 516. Hwang Bo-Yeon’s Crisis

Hurl

Paeng Garyeon began to drink the teacup leisurely.

Originally, it was common to enjoy the scent of tea first, then drink and savor it.

Only then can you say that you are enjoying a proper tea ceremony.

However, Paeng Garyeon completely ignored the procedure and just drank the teacup.

It is to drink the Longjing Tea of ​​the top product like water.

It was a spectacle that anyone who knows the tea ceremony would lament with envy.

Clap clap

It was when I was drinking Yongjing tea like that.

Knock Knock Knock

Suddenly, I heard someone knocking on the door from outside.

“Who are you?”

She continued her words with a puzzled look on her face.

“It’s me. Mrs. Paeng”

Then a very familiar voice came from outside.

“Come on in.”

Paeng Ga-ryun continued with a calm expression.

Kiki profit

As soon as she gave her permission, the door opened.

And through the open door a beautiful lady appeared.

Drooping pensive eyes

A sharp nose bridge.

A goofy-looking mouth.

A voluptuous body like a middle-aged man

The identity of the lady was Hwang Bo-yeon, the hostess of Cheonmu-maeng.

“Welcome, Mrs. Hwangbo.”

Pang Ga-Lian greeted her with her calm tone.

“I heard you called. Mrs. Peng.”

Hwang Bo-yeon greeted her with her well-mannered expression.

“Yes, that’s right. I have something to tell you.”

Paeng Ga-ryun quietly smiled coldly and continued.

“Yes… Tell me.”

She continued with a guilty expression on her face.

“Please take a seat.”

Pang Karen pointed to the table right in front of her and offered her a seat.

“…All right.”

Hwang Bo-yeon shook her head and sat down in her seat.

“First of all, let’s get wet from the neck.”

As she sat down in her seat, Pang Ga-Lian gently lifted her kettle and spoke to her.

“Thank you.”

As she lifted her teapot, Hwangbo Yu-yeon quickly lifted the teacup and said,

Shiver

Soon, tea began to fill Hwang Bo-yeon’s teacup.

And soon, when the tea was completely filled, Hwang Bo-yeon quickly lifted the cup.

“Hmm”

She then savored the scent of tea.

Anger

Soon after, a color began to appear on her face.

It was because she realized that it was a high-class dragon.

Flow

She just drank her tea.

Her Yongjeong’s distinctive sharpness and aroma began to linger in her mouth.

‘Aaaaa… I’m happy.’

Hwang Bo-yeon’s face began to unravel.

It was because her sense of happiness was overflowing with the tea she hadn’t had in a long time.

“Can I pack some for you when you go?”

Pang Ga-ryan, who was watching her, continued her words with a smile on her face.
“Ah… No.”

Hearing her words, Hwangbo Yu-yeon suddenly made her relaxed eyes clear as if she had come to her senses, and slashed her left and right.

“You don’t have to be shy.”

Peng Karian again recommended her.

“It’s really good… I… Have quite a few.”

At Paeng Ga-ryun’s recommendation, Hwang Bo-yu-yeon refused again.

She was a lover of tea, but she did not want to give up her pride to Fang Ga-Lian.

Although she is poor, she is definitely a descendant of a famous family and was the mistress of Cheon Mu-maeng.

Something like her enemy was a specification.

Food

Hearing her words, Pang Ga-Lian put a smile on her lips.

She was well aware of how needy Hwang Bo-Yeon was living.

She knew very well how much she liked the dragon.

Seeing her rejecting her own offer, she seemed to be putting on her bluff, which made her look cute.

“It’s because I bought it in larger quantities than I thought. If Mrs. Hwangbo doesn’t take it, I’ll throw it away.”

Paeng Ga-ryun recommended her, taking as many detours as possible so as not to hurt her pride.

If I said it this far, I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt.

“Abandon it!?”

Hwang Bo-yeon asked her with a surprised expression.

“Yeah, everything will be ruined.”

Paeng Ga-ryun smiled softly and continued.

“That…Then I can’t help it…I can’t just throw away the fine tea leaves…Ahhh…By the way…Then I’ll take a special pick for you!”

Hwang Bo-yeon spat out her words as if to make an excuse, and soon she accepted her offer.

Accepting her offer, Hwang Bo-yeon’s mouth curled up.

“I would appreciate it if you would do that.”

Paeng Karyeon smiled as if she was having fun.

“…You’re welcome.”

Seeing her smile, Hwang Bo-yeon immediately blushed as if embarrassed and continued her words.

It was because she thought that maybe she made a tee that she liked too much.

“More than that… Why did you call me?”

Hwang Bo-yeon quickly asked Paeng Ga-ryun as if to change the topic of her.

“Oh, that’s it.”

Hearing those words, Paeng Garyeon immediately continued with a look on her face as if she had remembered.

“Because a tip came in.”

She continued her speech with an infinitely serious expression on her face.

“A concubine…A spy?”

“Yes. Spy.”

“What…Intelligence?”

Hwang Bo-yeon asked her with an anxious expression on her face.

“There is an intelligence that one of her wives has received bribes from the Cheonil Company.”

“Thousand..Thousand Days Merchant!?”

Hwang Bo-yeon opened her eyes wide as if surprised by her words and asked her back.

The Cheonil Merchant Company was one of the merchant companies that competed for food supply in the past.

In addition, Hwang Bo-yeon was also a member of the upper ranks with a history of accepting considerable bribes.

‘Why did that come now?’

She put on a puzzled expression.

The food supply competition had already ended half a year ago.

And the Cheonil Merchant Company, which was eliminated from the competition, was also shutting her mouth about giving bribes to Hwang Bo-yeon.

If it became known that she had paid the bribe, she would never be nominated again.

But why is it happening now?

I couldn’t understand.

“Yes, Cheonil Merchant.”

Peng Ga-Lian opened her mouth, her eyes twinkling.

“This is… Strange. Isn’t the Cheonil Merchant Party half a year ago competing for food supply and getting eliminated? But how can you say that someone took bribes from such a place?”

She continued, fanning her burning face with the palm of her hand.

It was as if the embarrassment had arisen in a completely unexpected situation.

“He insisted on that. The former Danju, who was expelled from the Cheonil Sangdan a few days ago.”

“…Have you…Finished the investigation?”

“Yes.”

“…Then… I don’t even know who the culprit is…”

“Why did I call Mrs. Hwangbo?”

She continued with her cold eyes twinkling.

“…”

Hwang Bo-yeon, who heard her words, shut her mouth tightly and was silent.

Because I felt like everything was out of whack.

“I… I… What will happen now…”

She asked, looking at Paeng Garyeon with constantly trembling eyes.

“How do you think it will turn out?”

“…Are you… Being punished?”

“Isn’t that the custom?”

Paeng Ga-ryun continued with a calm expression.

Dump

Then Hwang Bo-yeon knelt on her floor.

“Mrs. Peng!”

Hwang Bo-Yeon lowered her head and spat out her words.

“I beg of you… Please pretend not to know until the succession race is over.”

“What are you doing? Wake up.”

Pang Ga-ryun looked at her with her calm expression and opened her mouth.

“I’ll take whatever punishment I want! It’s okay to be imprisoned for the rest of my life. Please postpone the punishment.”

She begged and begged.

Right now, Meng was in a very troubled situation.

In addition, the leader Lee Jae-won’s planting was also very sensitive.

If it were revealed that he had committed corruption in this situation, the situation might get out of hand.

In a serious case, her daughter, Isoran, could be disqualified from succession.

‘No!’

It couldn’t be.

It is the successor competition that has been waiting for twenty years.

But I couldn’t hold her ankle like this.

Because of her own mistakes.

“The law is the law that should be equal for everyone, madam.”

After hearing her words, Paeng Ga-ryun continued her words with a dry expression.

As if begging is useless.

“If you fear punishment, you shouldn’t have sinned.”

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”

Thump thump thump

Soon after, Hwangbo Yu-yeon apologized by banging her head on her floor.

It was so servile and miserable, but it seemed that she could not buy her sympathy if she did not do this.

“If everything was resolved by saying sorry, there would be no law, no police, and no law enforcement party.”

“Ma’am… For decades, I have been running solely for the succession race. Isn’t your wife fully aware of that feeling?”

Hwang Bo-yeon continued her words as if pleading with her head on.

“Of course I know that. I am also one of those who have been waiting for the succession competition.

Paeng Ga-ryun said to her with an expression that he did not understand.

She wasn’t wrong.

From Pang Ga-ryun’s point of view, Lee So-ran was nothing more than her competitor.

It is her daughter’s stumbling block.

But why did she give up on a way to easily destroy Isoran?

“I’m going to say it, but Ran is the weakest of the successors right now. Compared to other children, martial arts are weaker, and the recruited talents are not martial arts, but only those recruited based on Ran’s friendship. Besides, It’s a situation where we can’t even provide proper support because we don’t have the capital.

Hwang Bo-yeon looked at her Paeng Ga-ryun and began to list her painful facts one by one.

After Hwangbo Sega did her bonmun, she was the one who couldn’t properly give her support down to Lee So-ran.

There was no way that she would be able to have a proper competitive edge.

“That’s strange. Then why is Mrs. Hwangbo sending such a weak child to the succession competition?”

She asked her with a puzzled expression.

It was because I couldn’t understand it.

Knowing better than anyone that she has the weakest forces, how could she be so obsessed with competing for succession?

“I think that there is a difference between trying a challenge and being trampled on before even trying. If you try, even if you fail, you will have no regrets because you did your best. You will live in resentment.”

Hwang Bo-yeon continued with a very sad expression.

“How could a mother of her daughter allow that to happen?”

“…”

“It’s okay to punish me aggravatedly.. It’s okay to spend the rest of my life in prison. So please, please, please postpone the punishment… Please.”

Drip drip drip

Hwang Bo-yeon begged her again and again, shedding tears.
She looked very pitiful and pitiful.

“…”

Paeng Ga-ryun just looked at Hwangbo Yeon-yeon with a calm expression on her face.

She seemed deep in thought.

How much time has passed

“You are wrong. No matter how urgent the money is, you received the money illegally.

“…”

“Originally, it is right to punish you through formal trial procedures, but as a mother of a daughter, how can I not understand your feelings?”

Soon, Pang Ga-ryun opened her mouth and continued her words.

“So I’d like to make a suggestion.”

“…A suggestion?”

Hwangbo Yu-yeon, who was keeping her head down, quickly lifted her head and asked her.

Her face was quite funny, smeared with her tears and snot.

“Yes, that’s right. I also don’t want to see mother and daughter resent each other.”

She spoke in a calm tone.

“Anything…Anything…Tell me…I’ll take any suggestion.”

Hwang Bo-yeon, who heard her words, continued her words with her eyes twinkling.

“The offer is simple. Just spit out as much as you take.”

“Spit.. What are you doing?”

“Spit out all the 500,000 nyang of the bribe you received then. Then I will ignore this matter and move on.”

Paeng Ga-ryun continued with a calm expression.

In fact, this was a huge perk.

Doesn’t that mean that if you return the money, you will not be charged and the punishment will be avoided?

It was something everyone would welcome.

I’m not asking you to pay compensation, just spit out the money you ate.

“…”

However, after hearing her words, Hwang Bo-yeon could not answer.

It was because telling her to spit out her large amount of 500,000 Nyang while she was struggling with her money was tantamount to telling her to die.

She doesn’t have money to drink tea, so where can she get 500,000 nyang of cheap tea leaves?

“Why don’t you answer me?”

When she didn’t say anything, Pang Ga-Lian asked her with her puzzled look on her face.

“…Mrs. Peng…Is there any other way?”

Hwangbo Yu-yeon put on a very servile expression and asked Paeng Ga-ryun in return.

Her face was red from her shame and embarrassment.
