Chapter 519 – 520. Hwang Bo-Yoo-Yeon Confesses Her True Feelings.
“If you find it difficult to answer, you don’t have to bother.”
Seeing her look troubled, Seonwoo took a step back.
It was because she felt that it was far better to let her express her concerns naturally than to ask her persistently.
“No. I’ll tell you. It’s not really a secret.”
Hearing Seonwoo’s words, Hwangbo Yuyeon gently shook her head from side to side.
“The reason my room is desolate is simple: I am poor.”
“Poverty? What do you mean?”
Sunwoo asked her with a puzzled look on her face.
“It’s embarrassing, but I’m living a very poor life after the half-destroyed Hwangbo family by Dangaju… I can’t even call myself the mistress of Cheonmu-maeng.”
She sadly lowered her head as she spoke.
“Doesn’t the alliance pay for maintenance of dignity every month? Not only that, but also faction subsidies, right?”
“…Of course, it’s true that a considerable amount of money is spent every month. It’s Maeng’s consideration to maintain the minimum dignity. But all of that money is spent on Sega and the fuss.”
She spoke in a calm tone.
“What is that!?”
“Most of my expenses for maintaining my dignity are being sent to the Hwangbo family. Currently, the Hwangbo family in Bongmun has no proper self-rescue measures. In order to be competitive in the succession competition, good elixirs, high-quality weapons, and a balanced diet are required. Dressed in silk clothes.”
Hwang Bo-yeon looked at Seon-woo with her straight eyes and continued her words.
“I am poor. I have no choice but to be poor. I will continue to be poor.”
She continued her speech with a self-deprecating look on her face.
“…”
Hearing her words, Seonwoo bit her mouth tightly.
It was because, although he had heard from Ga-Ryun Pang about her situation, hearing from her directly made her heart ache even more.
‘The girl’s head… No… The jumma’s head?’
Seeing her sunwoo’s eyes looking at her, her compassion began to rise.
“Don’t look at me like that. This is what I chose. I have no regrets.”
As Seonwoo looked at her with a compassionate gaze, Hwangbo Yu-yeon shook her head and continued her words.
“…Isn’t it hard?”
“It’s hard. It’s really hard. But…But…If my daughter is happy…If my blood relatives don’t starve, that’s enough.”
“Why are you trying to carry everything by yourself? Can’t you just tell your daughter? Reduce your decorations… Use a lower grade elixir or weapon…”
Seonwoo continued talking with an expression that seemed to be incomprehensible.
It was a situation where you could save enough if you explained the circumstances.
But how can you be harsh with yourself and be generous with others?
“It can’t be.”
Hwang Bo-yeon, who heard Seon-woo’s words, sighed and continued her words.
“I am enough to be poor. I want to raise my daughter so that she is not inferior to other successors… As for my daughter… I want to raise her without any worries and not lacking in anything.”
She looked at her Sunwoo with sad eyes and opened her mouth.
‘Motherhood is the same everywhere.’
Looking at him, she thought of Seonwoo.
It is said that the heart of a mother for her child is the same whether in modern times or martial arts.
“Then, why don’t you boldly cut off the subsidy sent to Hwangbo’s family? Self-rescue is essentially self-rescue. Unconditional support is like pouring water into a bottomless pot.”
Seonwoo continued speaking with a serious expression on his face.
A wise fisherman teaches his son how to fish rather than giving him a fish.
It provides a way to live on your own.
But Hwang Bo-yeon was just bringing her fish.
I’m hungry and I’m going to take my share.
How can you be smart
“It’s impossible, I’m saying this with my own mouth, but the lineage of the Hwangbo family is so incompetent that they can’t do anything except martial arts.”
She continued with a very sad expression on her face.
“They look like mountains of greed, but their vision is so narrow that they are often scammed, and they are naive, so they are often taken advantage of. You want them to come up with self-rescue measures?
“…”
Hearing her words, Seonwoo felt embarrassed.
It was because I did not expect that the bloodline would be cut so bitterly.
‘I’m also Hwangbo…’
“It’s better to just stay calm until the gate is released. If you accidentally come up with a self-rescue plan, you’ll end up with the gate not the gate this time, but the gate.”
“…Okay.”
After hearing her words, Seonwoo was able to understand.
Unless she cuts ties with her kin
That she will live in poverty all her life.
‘He’s the type to buy and suffer.’
Sunwoo shook his head from side to side.
It was because I couldn’t understand her attitude to support her blood relatives.
If he were her own, he would never have been like her.
Why are you supporting her in-laws and even her second cousins, who are not her relatives?
It was a move that was incomprehensible to the modern mindset.
‘Lee Jae-won is a really bad boy.’
In addition, antipathy toward Lee Jae-won soared.
How can you not feel resentment when you criticize a child who suffers so much for being debauched?
Of course, she, the culprit that made her practically destitute, was not her own words, but her words.
“How is it? Are you curious now?”
When Seonwoo was silent, Hwangbo Yeon-yeon smiled softly and continued her words.
“…Thank you for your difficult words.”
“No. It’s a fact that everyone already knows.”
She continued with a self-deprecating smile.
“I’m sure something good will happen.”
“Well… Such a thing… Will it happen to me?”
“Yes or no. Don’t you say don’t be new? Surely something good will happen.”
Seonwoo looked at her with her confident eyes and continued her words.
“…”
And Hwang Bo-yoo-yeon silently looked at Seon-woo.
His eyes were full of confidence and hope.
It was such a wonderful look that it made me feel uplifted just by looking at it.
She could feel it when her eyes met.
It means that the man in front of her is sincerely cheering her on.
‘That’s why it’s more miserable.’
She thought.
There is nothing more miserable than false hope.
If she had met Seon-wu before she was called away by Paeng Ga-ryun, she would have gained her hope from him.
Looking at those straight eyes without even a hint of doubt, he must have had great hopes.
However, she knew that she had to be called by Peng Karian and had to pay 500,000 nyang.
That what was in those eyes was nothing but vain hope.
That’s why I felt miserable.
In this reality, we can’t even have hope.
“So don’t worry too much. Everything will be fine.”
Sunwoo cheered her on with her hot eyes.
“…”
And Hwang Bo-yeon, who saw that, raised her hand and began to cover her eyes.
It was because he had the illusion that he would be blinded by his appearance shining like the sun.
Again
Soon, a drop of water started to run down her cheek.
It was because my heart ached at the bleak reality in which I couldn’t have hope despite the support of that brilliant man.
I also felt anxious.
If he finds out about his private parts, how will he look at himself?
Is it a gaze full of contempt?
Is it a gaze full of disgust?
Or is it a look full of sympathy?”
Is it a gaze full of compassion?
I didn’t know, but whatever it was, it felt like my heart would break.
I felt like I would never again show those brilliant eyes that made me hopeful.
Tears began to flow.
It started flowing non-stop.
“Wife?!”
When she showed her tears, Sunwoo called out to her with a look of embarrassment on her face.
“Huhhhhh”
But even so, she didn’t stop crying.
No I couldn’t stop
It was because I couldn’t control my emotions.
Cried and cried
Until the sadness in your heart disappears.
How many tears did you shed?
Kkoooook
She began to feel a warm feeling all over her body.
She could feel
The fact that Sunwoo hugged her again.
She held her breath in Sunwoo’s arms and began to cry.
That is, until the overflowing emotions subside completely.
.
.
.
.
.
How much time has passed
“…I’m sorry…You behaved indecently again.”
Soon after, Hwang Bo-yeon stopped crying and apologized to Seon-woo.
“Is it ugly? Didn’t I tell you? It’s beautiful even when you cry.”
“…Thanks.”
“Are you calming down now?”
“…Yes.”
“Then can you tell me why you showed tears? Maybe I offended your wife?”
“No… It’s not the fault of the small group… It’s not…”
At Sunwoo’s words, Hwangbo Yu-yeon shook her head and opened her mouth.
“Then why did you show tears?”
“That’s because… There’s no hope…”
She looked at Seonwoo with sad eyes and opened her mouth.
“There is no hope. Madam…How do you say that?”
Sunwoo said to her with a puzzled look on his face.
“I’m going to be taken to the law enforcement party after seven days or so.”
She opened her mouth as she looked at Seonwoo with her teary eyes.
“The law enforcement party!? What the hell do you mean by that?”
“Six months ago, I received a bribe worth 500,000 nyang from the Cheonil Merchant Alliance.
She looked at her sunwoo and began to tell all the facts that had happened.
The story of receiving a bribe worth 500,000 nyang from the Cheonil Company
The story of a former Danju accusing himself through a confession of conscience
The story of being called by Paeng Garyeon, the head of the law enforcement
The story of her being promised her innocence on condition of her return
The story of going to borrow money from Lee Jae-won and being barred from the doorstep, etc.
All the stories I tried to hide
All the hardest and most sad stories
She poured it all out on him.
She shed tears incessantly.
“There is no hope for me… There is nothing… Ran-ah will be pointed at by everyone… She will be stripped of her candidacy… The honor of the Hwangbo Family will fall to the ground. Everyone…Everyone…Will resent me…Daughter…Family…Husband…Everyone… It’s so… Black… Black”
She continued with tears streaming down her eyes with sorrowful eyes.
It was scary.
Pointing fingers at everyone
It was scary.
She wants everyone she loves to turn their backs
That’s why she couldn’t help but cry.
Because she had no way to raise the amount of 500,000 nyang for herself.
“…”
Seonwoo looked at her with her very serious eyes.
With a serious expression on his face.
How could I have looked at her like that?
Soon, he slowly rose from his seat.
And he just walked outside.
Without even looking back.
“Huhhhhh”
Seeing this, Hwangbo Yu-yeon burst into tears.
It was because he felt that he had turned his back on himself in disappointment.
“Huh… Black… Black… Black… Black…”
Soon, the room was filled with only the cries of Hwang Bo-yeon.
*******
Trudge
Hwang Bo-yeon began to move her steps slowly with a drooping appearance.
She had been running and running for her money for the past seven days and nights until her feet were sweating, but she was able to gather only 10,000 coins.
Compared to the principal amount of 500,000 nyang, it is an extremely insufficient amount.
She put on a look of resignation.
Because she felt that punishment could not be avoided.
“Ha”
She let out a big sigh and, barely lifting her heavy steps, headed for the house’s courtroom.
She was going to tell Pang Ga-Lian the fact that she hadn’t been able to get the money.
Trudge
How far did she move
Soon, she arrived at the door of Peng Karian’s office.
“Whoa”
She took one deep breath and slowly raised her hand.
Knock Knock Knock
And she started knocking on her door.
“Who is it?”
Then, a sharp voice came from inside.
“It’s me… Mrs. Peng.”
“Come on in.”
Kiki profit
As soon as she gave her permission, Hwang Bo-yeon opened the door.
Then the door opened and the figure of Pang Ga-ryan, doing her business at her desk, came into view.
Jerk jerk jerk
Soon, Hwangbo Yu-yeon moved her steps inside her with a shy expression on her face.
“What’s the matter?”
As she entered her office, Pang Ga-ryan continued her words with a puzzled look on her face.
“…”
Hearing her words, Hwang Bo-yeon felt her tears welling up.
The fact that she had to return fifty thousand pieces was the one that had kept her awake for the past seven days and nights.
And she, until this moment, she was only full of her thoughts about returning fifty thousand.
However, receiving 500,000 nip from Paeng Garyeon seemed trivial and not even worth remembering.
That’s why I’m so ignorant.
I couldn’t help but shed tears.
What was most important to me seemed insignificant to others.
“…Hey…That…500,000 coins…”
But she let out her words slowly, hiding her upset inside.
She was now in the position of being thorough with herself.
It was because she didn’t want to go against her heart, her fangs holding her own leash.
“Oh, 500,000 Nyang?”
After hearing her words, Paeng Ga-ryan spat out her words as if he remembered them.
“…Yes.”
Hearing her words, Hwang Bo-yeon received the words with a timid expression on her face.
“Received it well. They all brought it to the Hermit.”
“…Yes?”
She questioned her with a puzzled look on her face.
What does this mean?
“By the way, when did you become so close with the Celestial Dragon? To the extent that he had you run errands for money.”
Paeng Garyeon asked her again, as if curious.
“…Thousand..Dragon!?”
And Hwang Bo-yeon, who heard her words, made a puzzled expression.
If you’re talking about Cheonryong, isn’t it referring to Jang Seon-woo?
Why is that child’s name suddenly popping up?
