Chapter 869 – 870. Meet King Yeon.

Thump thump

Jacaranda began to gently stroke her smooth stomach.

With a happy smile.

‘Here… Our lovely child…’

I was happy.

I was so happy.

The fruits of Seonwoo and himself are growing in this small belly.

How could you not be happy

‘Come on… Come on… Grow up… My lovely baby… I’m already looking forward to the day I meet you.’

The smile that formed on the corners of his lips began to grow thicker and darker.

It was because motherly love was overflowing.

It was a time when I was in the middle of sharing sympathy with my child.

Knock Knock Knock

Someone started knocking on the door cautiously.

“You may come in.”

She said it with a bright smile.

Kiki profit

As soon as she gave her permission, the door immediately began to open.

And a man appeared.

A six-foot-tall man with a cool impression.

That’s what Sunwoo said.

“Is the story over?”

Neung So-hwa asked a question with a curious expression.

“Yeah… To some extent…”

Seonwoo nodded his head with a white expression on his face.

“Did you hear what the crown prince said? You don’t look good.”

Neung So-hwa asked Seon-woo with a worried expression on his face.

It was because Sunwoo’s expression was unusual.

“No, I wasn’t scolded.”

Sunwoo shook his head from side to side and opened his mouth.

“Then why is your expression so pale?”

“…I heard that you’re getting engaged…”

“You mean engagement?”

“Yeah, she said she couldn’t make her a single mother without a husband… He said let’s hold a modest engagement ceremony.”

“…Your Majesty has shown great consideration…”

Hearing Seonwoo’s words, So-Hwa Neung made an emotional expression on her face.

It was because he recognized that the emperor was considering accepting Seonwoo as his official spouse out of consideration for him.

It’s something you don’t want.

He is rumored to be a single mother without a husband.

“That’s right, His Majesty was very considerate… He let me reveal that he was my fiancée even though I didn’t build any power.”

Seonwoo shook his head as if agreeing.

“And what does that have to do with the paleness of your face?”

Jacaranda immediately threw her question with an expression of incomprehension.

“…”

Then Sunwoo closed his mouth and fell silent.

That’s why I was struggling with how to explain this.

How long did the silence last?

“…Somehow…Does she not want to be engaged to the original woman?”

When he didn’t say anything for a long time, Leung So-hwa asked with a sullen expression on his face.

“No, it can’t be! How can I hate being acknowledged for my relationship with you?”

“Then, what is the problem? What is the problem…To turn pale at the news of an engagement?

Neung So-hwa looked at Seon-woo with a doubtful face and continued.

“…Even if the engagement ceremony is held on a small scale…With only a few high-ranking officials and members of the royal family invited.”

Seonwoo opened her mouth, looking at her with her still pale face.

“Is it dissatisfying because it’s small? But it can’t be helped. As the state of affairs is the state of affairs… It can’t be scaled up on a large scale…”

“No…It’s not about that.”

Sunwoo shook his head slightly.

“Then what’s the problem?”

“The imperial family is coming… So… Your parents… Are coming too, right?”

“Isn’t it obvious? It’s the daughter’s engagement, how could the parents not come… Ah!”

Soon after, the trumpeter sighed as if realizing it.

What factor made Sunwoo pale?

It was because I was aware of it.

“Somehow… Is it more burdensome to meet the original daughter’s father and her mother?”

“…Yes”

Sunwoo shook his head slightly.

“What else am I saying? If it’s something like that, then there’s no need to worry. Both of them are virtuous and gentle people with generous dispositions. There’s no need to be so nervous.”

Jacaranda gently patted her hand and continued her words.

His parents, Lady Yeonwang and his wife, were known for their gentle nature.

I’ve never had an argument with anyone in my entire life.

They are like Bodhisattvas who have never been angry with anyone.

There was no need to be intimidated.

“…The situation is a bit special.”

Sunwoo continued with a trembling voice.

Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have been so anxious.

Since becoming a king

Was this a son-in-law who had all the conditions to not bow down?

But now it was not a normal situation.

It is a very, very special situation.

“Is it special?”

“…You have a child..”

He impregnated someone else’s daughter without a wedding ceremony.

How can it not be special?

“…Hmm…Is that such a big deal? Wouldn’t it be nice to have grandchildren instead?”

“No… Absolutely not… You’re going to be mad at me… Absolutely.”

“Hmm… I’m saying this because you don’t know much about the parents of her original daughter. The gentle people can’t be angry. They’ll be a bit surprised, but they’ll happily congratulate you.”

“Change your position, So-hwa, how would you feel if the guy who impregnated our daughter before the wedding came to say hello?”

“Why don’t you just break all her limbs?”

Jacaranda continued with a twinkle in her cold, sunken eyes.

“If I were in the same situation, I think I would have sprayed the poison so much that I wouldn’t die…”

Sunwoo continued with a serious expression on his face.

Parents who have daughters all feel the same way.

No matter how gentle you may be,

It is impossible not to have blind anger toward the son-in-law who impregnated his precious daughter.

“…Hmm…That sounds like something serious.”

Neung So-hwa sympathized with Seon-woo with a serious expression on his face.

It was because when she changed her stance, she thought that Seon-wu would be scolded.

“…How can there be no way?”

“Hmm…Even the original girl can’t come up with a proper way.”

“Is there anything you like? Alcohol… Jewelry… Something worth giving as a present…”

“They’re easy-going people…No matter what you give them, they won’t be happy enough to ease their anger.”

Jacaranda shook her head slightly and continued her words.

She was the wife of King Yeon who lived a life far from luxury and pleasure.

Even if I drank alcohol, I preferred cheap bamboo leaves.

Even if they were dressed up, they were only minimally decorated.

To be called a prince is to live an easy-going life.

“…It’s a big deal.”

Seonwoo soon put on a serious expression.

I tried to change my mind with a gift attack, but

I had nothing to give.

“Don’t worry, Seonwoo. If you get hit, I’ll blow my body to block it.”

“Are you sure it’s right?”

Seonwoo asked with an absurd expression on his face.

It was because I was embarrassed by her words, which I had already assumed would be right.

Haha, it’s nonsense.”

Jacaranda burst into laughter as if delighted and continued her words.

“Don’t worry too much, they will definitely get angry, but it won’t be as extreme as that of her original daughter and you.

She continued her speech with a careless expression on her face.

“Is…Is that so?”

“Yes, and besides, isn’t she an old maid in terms of her age? She didn’t have a suitable spouse, so she might be rather glad that you appeared.”

It was common for the royal family to decide on a spouse before signing a contract.

It was because I had to tie it up with a political strategy from a young age so that I could build a foundation and grow.

When considering such a case

Neungsohwa was a woman who was equivalent to an old maid.

Even though she was in her late twenties, she didn’t have a suitable partner.

In such a situation, Sunwoo’s perfect son-in-law

Rather, she did not know that she could serve as a good news for the king and queen.

They were always worried about her daughter’s marriage.

“…Really…Is that so?”

“Of course this is the case, don’t the original parents say that their children know well? Let her trust only the original girl, I can be sure, nothing will happen.”

Neung So-hwa stared at Seon-woo with her confident eyes and continued her words.

“…Huuuuuh It makes me feel a little relieved when you say that.”

And Seonwoo, who met those eyes, let out a sigh of relief.
Her daughter is so sure she’s away

I felt somewhat reassured.

Parents know their children best

‘Yes, it’s already happened… So-hwa is an old maid by the standard of the middle court… You might think that it’s something to be welcomed with double arms from the position of King Yeong and his wife, right?… Yes… I’m sure. Will.’

Seonwoo made her own rationalization and stabilized her mind.

Because, according to her words, she had never heard a harsh rebuke.

‘It won’t be any big deal…Am…That’s not to say.’

*********

“You bastard!”

Aaaaa

The crackling sound of blows began to reverberate everywhere.

Whiik

Then, Sunwoo’s head turned to the side as it was.

‘Uh…What?…This…Why…’

Seonwoo, whose head had turned, made a blank expression.

It was because I was dumbfounded by the situation where I was slapped on the cheek.

“You impregnated my daughter when you weren’t even married!?”

At that time, the man who slapped Seonwoo on the cheek, Yeonwang, began to raise his voice loudly with his face blushing.

His face was full of anger.

“If you love someone, you should know how to protect them! How can you not tolerate them and dishonor my daughter!”

King Yan raised his opposite hand again.

“Ah..Father..”

“Who is your father!”

Jjaaaaak

King Yeon slashed Seon Woo on the other side of the cheek.

Whiik

This time, Seonwoo’s head swung helplessly to the side.

Even if you have a hundred mouths, you have nothing to say

It was because he had no choice but to be beaten.

Jjaaaaak

Jjaaaaak

Soon, Seonwoo’s cheeks began to turn to the sides incessantly.

Neung So-hwa looked at the King Yeong with a blank expression.

He was a father who lived like a soldier all his life.

He was a virtuous and generous father who was praised by the people.

My father, who is gentle and has never been angry in his entire life,

A father who never fought properly

He now began to use violence with an expression like a slaughter.

I felt a sense of alienation.

“You bastard!”

Soon, the king of Yan let out his shout and raised his hand.

It looked like it was meant to be beaten properly.

“Ah, father, calm down!”

Lung Xiaohua, who came to her senses with excitement at the sight, quickly grabbed Yeonwang’s arm.

It was because I couldn’t possibly see the sight of my beloved.

“Are you serious now! I got you pregnant! I gave birth to a baby before we even got married!

The king of Yeong started to shout loudly with a voice bursting with tantrums.

“It’s not only Sunwoo’s fault! It’s my fault too! If you’re going to hit me, hit me!”

Jacaranda spoke in an urgent tone.

“No! You are the victim! This means there is no fault! All the fault lies with that bastard!”

“No! It happened with mutual consent, so how can you become a victim just because you’re pregnant!”

Jacaranda could not understand.

Premarital pregnancies were not the fault of men alone.

It is a common fault committed by both women.

But how can you make only men the perpetrators and bruise them?

It was nonsense.

“No! That’s all because he seduces you, the naive one.”

“Not coaxed! I wanted it! I wanted to have his child! I wanted it to come to fruition! He did nothing wrong!”

Neung So-hwa looked at her father, King Yeon-wang, with eyes like flames, and raised her voice.

“I’m twenty-eight years old! I’m not naive enough to take care of myself, and I’m not weak-willed enough to be tempted by him! Because I like him! I like him! I just wanted to conceive his child!”

“Huh…You…You…Really…”

The King Yeong started to stutter his words with a shocked expression on his face.

It was because the rebellion of Jacaranda Hwa, who lived up to her parents’ words like the sky, came as a further shock.
.
Although he has an old-fashioned temperament, he was a dignified child who properly knew what human wisdom was.

She was a great filial daughter who had lived her life considering it a virtue to do filial piety to her parents.

That she

Raising her voice with a hard attitude

Was making noise

Her own spouse

Her own affection

Don’t touch your husband

She said she was pregnant because she loved her.

“Heh uh… Heh… Heh uh.”

The king began to feel a tingling sensation in his back bone.

He was so hot that his blood pressure soared.

Drop

Soon, the king’s consciousness was cut off.

Unable to withstand the soaring blood pressure, he passed out.

“Majesty!”

“Father!”

“Father!”

Soon, screams began to emanate from the hall.
