Episode 36
“Financial Wonju!!”
Sookmyung suddenly came to his senses.
A bright blue flame was shooting out of Doyul’s eyes as he glared at me.
furthermore.
“Is it okay for me to say such rude things to my mother-in-law?”
“I can’t believe it, I’ve never even heard of such behavior.”
Everyone was unable to hide their shocked expressions.
Even Yejun, who had continued to disapprove of Yerin, looked shocked.
‘Oh, no!’
Sookmyung, so startled as if she would faint, fell flat on the spot.
“S-sorry!”
However, Doyul’s anger had already passed the critical point.
“What kind of disgrace is this in front of the head of the Ministry of Finance and VIPs!”
Sharp shouts rained down on Fate’s head like broken glass.
“It’s not enough to try to frame the matriarch, you’re even calling me a ‘fox-like bitch’!”
“My lord, but… … !”
“An old sage said that a husband and wife are one flesh!”
Doyul got angry.
“So insulting your wife is the same as insulting me!”
“… … .”
“… … .”
There was a heavy silence.
The VIPs observed the situation with keen eyes.
‘The palace lord cares for the matriarch much more than expected.’
‘I thought there was no way Bingung would spare a matriarch from Tangmun, but this is surprising.’
Among them, there were those who kept an eye on Tang Ye-jun, the head of Tang Mun’s small family.
‘I understand that the Beihai Ice Palace and Sichuan Tangmun were tied up in a marriage because the head of the Tang family exerted pressure… … .’
And Yejun.
‘… … ‘I didn’t know you would protect that girl like this.’
He was looking at Doyul with wary eyes.
Of course, when they met at the support center before, Doyul openly took Yerin’s side.
But wasn’t there only Doyul, Yerin, and Yejun at that time?
‘I never thought I would get angry at a woman who was the head of financial affairs in a gathering of VIPs from all over the country… … .’
People’s eyes naturally focused on Yerin.
‘Doyul… … You’re getting angry for me.’
Yerin, who was dazed for a moment, felt many eyes on her.
‘No, now is not the time to get sentimental.’
Her eyes became sharp.
If you do well, this is an opportunity to buy more sympathy votes!
Sad thoughts, sad thoughts!
Think back to the hardships you endured in the past when you had to endure the troubles of the head of the family!
No, wait a minute.
This isn’t a sad thought, it’s a heated thought, right?!
In any case, Yerin’s efforts were effective.
A transparent tear drop rolled down Yerin’s cheek.
The people in the banquet hall flinched and stiffened their shoulders.
“that… … “How unfair would it be for the matriarch to just shed tears quietly like that?”
“Yes, I think so too.”
Even though she was Gamora of the North Sea Ice Palace, Yerin had the appearance of a twelve-year-old girl.
A girl like that was in a situation where tears welled up after hearing harsh words from Jae-jae Won-ju, who was as old as her mother.
Doyul didn’t know what to do and comforted Yerin.
“Gwae, are you okay?”
At that question, Yerin pretended to hold back tears and lowered her head, biting her lips.
That sight aroused even more pity.
After a while.
“I’m sorry, I think I got too emotional and poured cold water on the good atmosphere.”
Yerin answered in a voice that was as loud as a gnat.
The problem was that even his voice was drowned out by the chastised tears.
“Don’t worry about me.”
“Don’t say that. “How could I not pay attention to you?”
At those sweet words, Yerin just quietly closed her eyes and swallowed tears.
Then the VIPs began to look at Sookmyung with suspicion.
“Furthermore, you testified that not only the palace lord, but also the head of the Tang family, the Lord of Finance, has never visited you.”
“There’s no way the two of you lied, so I’m saying the head of finance lied… … .”
Then, Mukong-ju and Gyul-won-ju got angry.
“Financial source! “The Lord of Finance has been harsh this time!”
“That’s not true. How can you threaten the matriarch of Binggung in front of so many people!”
Doyul waved his sleeves and declared.
“The head of finance should leave this place immediately and stay safe at his place!”
“Palace lord!”
“Never go outside without my permission, and please stay away from finance office work for the time being! Do you understand?”
Sookmyung shook her head with a pale face.
“Palace, I was wrong! So please stay safe… … !”
“Don’t disappoint me any more, Financial Wonju!”
But Doyul was as stubborn as Taesan.
In the end, Fate had no choice but to rise from his unexpected position.
Sookmyung glared at Yerin with poisonous eyes and quickly went outside.
“Like that, like that!”
“I can’t even think about reflecting on my mistakes!”
Tsk tsk and cackling voices erupted from among the people.
Doyul looked back at Gaeun.
“And Gaeun Sojeo.”
“Ooh, palace lord… … .”
Ga-eun kneeled down reflexively.
To Ga-eun, whose shoulders were shaking, Doyul calmly opened his mouth.
“I am grateful to the Lord of Finance for helping with the work of the North Sea Ice Palace at his request. one.”
Ga-eun looked up at Do-yul with the eyes of a frightened rabbit.
“He must be well aware that his attitude toward the matriarch was quite rude after that.”
“Yo, please forgive me! “I was just stupid and didn’t know anything!”
“Forgive me.”
Doyul tilted his head.
“good. “Looking at Jijangjang’s side, I won’t make this issue any more problematic.”
At those words, Ga-eun’s face lit up.
But Doyul’s words were not over yet.
“However, Ga-eun Sojeo cannot enter the North Sea Ice Palace for the rest of her life. “Inscriptions are also not permitted.”
“… … yes?”
The blood drained from Ga-eun’s face.
That meant that Ga-eun would no longer be able to contact Do-yul for the rest of her life.
Doyul gave an order in a cold voice.
“Go away.”
“My lord, I was wrong. Lord of the palace… … !”
However, Doyul didn’t even look at Gaeun.
Ga-eun crawled to Do-yul with kneeling steps.
He grabs Doyul’s legs.
“Palace, don’t do this!”
“… … .”
“It’s been almost ten years since I last saw the palace lord!”
“… … .”
“For the sake of the affection we’ve shared so far, don’t throw me away like this!”
In the quiet banquet hall, only Ga-eun’s pleas rang loudly.
But then.
Doyul looked down at Ga-eun with eyes full of contempt.
“Gaeun Sojeo.”
“yes!”
“Stop it now.”
Ga-eun stiffened at those words.
Doyul shook his head coldly.
“I’ve already been disappointed enough with Ga-eun Sojeo.”
“Ooh, palace lord… … .”
“So, I hope you don’t show any more ugly behavior.”
Hearing that cold voice, Yerin looked at Doyul with new eyes.
‘Now that I think about it, I think this is the first time I’ve seen Doyul look so disgusted.’
In Yerin’s memories, Doyul was always a person with a gentle smile.
Ga-eun asked Do-yul back with a mesmerized look on her face.
“… … “You’re disappointed in me?”
“okay.”
Doyul nodded without even the slightest hesitation.
“So stop now, I’m sick of it.”
“… … .”
“… … ,”
There was silence.
“… … “This is the first time I’ve seen the palace lord be so cold-hearted.”
“But what… … “It’s worth it.”
Mukong-ju and Gyul-won-ju, who were still standing, each nodded.
What Sook Myung and Ga Eun did was too great to appeal for recognition.
After a while.
Ga-eun staggered out of her seat and raised her voice.
“Wow, you’re really doing this too much!”
With those words, Ga-eun ran outside, crying.
‘Ugh.’
Yerin clicked her tongue inwardly.
Well, I could understand why Ga-eun felt so sad.
From Ga-eun’s perspective, it was like having her unrequited love that had lasted for several years being cruelly trampled in front of everyone.
but.
‘It’s none of my business.’
Yerin gave up her thoughts at that point.
‘Then why are you fighting so hard that you can’t even get your money’s worth?’
Just then, Doyul stood up and politely bowed to the distinguished guests.
“We apologize for causing any inconvenience to our guests.”
“No, my lord.”
“it’s okay.”
The VIPs all waved their hands.
Doyul sat down again and looked at Yerin with a worried expression.
“How are you feeling now, ma’am?”
“it’s okay.”
Yerin said, ‘It’s okay’ out of habit.
Doyul felt anxious about her, as if he had thrown a child into the water.
“It’s okay. If you feel uncomfortable, you can come in early and rest.”
“No, but it is my first job as a matriarch.”
Yerin shook her head and smiled brightly.
“So I want to proceed to the end.”
“… … is it so. “If your wife says so.”
Doyul nodded with a mixture of worry, relief, and pride.
“That kind of responsibility… … “You are truly amazing.”
“The palace lord took care of the matriarch well.”
Voices of admiration flowed from everywhere.
At the same time, civil servants walked around handing out license plates to VIPs.
“Whoa.”
Yerin took a deep breath and stepped out in front of the crowd.
The face, which was covered in tears, had a cool-headed expression that could not even be stabbed by a knife.
Yerin declared in a sonorous voice.
“Then, let’s start the auction now.”
i love that Doyul isnt a d*ck at the beginning as most young MLs are. Its nice to see that kindness a young man has being written in the story. Thanks for the translation!
