I Became the Young Wife of the Martial Arts Novel’s Male Lead

Episode 52

 

‘I’m spoiled.’

My ancestor’s unique old-fashioned temperament caught fire.

Even though it’s a situation where you have to blame everything, how dare you come out like this?

then.

Yerin rinsed her mouth with tea water and shook her head.

“Ask them to wait a little while.”

“But, it’s very urgent…” … .”

“Well, that’s a matter of financial support.”

Yerin put down her teacup and picked up her chopsticks with an elegant movement.

He continued talking while picking up a vegetable side dish with chopsticks.

“It’s not my situation, is it?”

Well, that’s true.

Shibi closed his mouth shyly.

Yerin continued eating as if nothing had happened.

“This stir-fried vegetables are very delicious. “Can you give me a little more?”

Yerin, who was in the middle of eating, pointed to the empty side dish bowl with her chopsticks.

“All right.”

Shibi went out with a confused look on his face, carrying a bowl of side dishes.

Yerin, who was looking at the back, broke a meatball in half and put it in her mouth.

‘Probably Jae-jae Won-ju is upset and trembling right now, right?’

A faint smile appeared on Yerin’s lips.

‘Ah, it’s sweet.’

Yerin was so excited that she ate the food from her bowl.

For some reason, the rice felt very sweet today.

* * *

After stuffing the last remaining side dish into my mouth.

Yerin went outside.

Sookmyung, who was sitting in his seat with a nervous face, jumped up from his seat as soon as he saw Yerin.

“Madam!”

“Have you been waiting, Lord Finance?”

Yerin had a bright smile on her face.

Even out of courtesy, I don’t apologize for making you wait.

‘Hey, that girl! ‘Don’t be rude to adults!’

Sookmyung gritted his teeth, but he had enough reason not to get angry at Yerin.

Yerin spoke softly.

“It seems like it’s been a very long time since I last saw you.”

“… … “I feel the same way.”

Fate suppressed his voice and answered like that.

Yerin walked lightly and sat down opposite Sookmyung.

“I guess it feels that way because the owner of the financial center is emptying the financial resources.”

“… … .”

Sookmyung silently got angry.

Either way, Yerin continued speaking as if she was truly worried about her fate.

“You need to return quickly.”

Sookmyung’s eyes widened at those insensitive words.

Of course, Yerin is like that now.

‘I’m on probation. Can you come visit me?’

… … Because I was saying it back.

“Besides, you came here without even giving me a pipe.”

Yerin relaxedly leaned back in her chair and continued speaking.

“You must have something urgent like that, right?”

Sookmyung bit her lip until it bled.

‘Be patient, you have to be patient.’

Of course, I wanted to turn it over right away.

Now it was a situation where fate had to be bent.

“It was reckless of me that I didn’t even think of offering condolences to my mother-in-law. sorry.”

Sookmyung gritted his teeth and spoke words of apology.

“I was so devastated that I came running as soon as I opened my eyes in the morning.”

“Why are you so devastated?”

Yerin asked back, pretending not to know anything.

Sookmyung turned on the light in his eyes and glared at Yerin.

But even for a moment.

“That is… … “My nephew has troubled the palace lord this time.”

Yerin looked curiously at the direct delivery of the business.

But, it was true that Doyul was very angry about the space rent issue.

“Yes, the palace lord was quite angry.”

Yerin nodded proudly.

Then, Sookmyung took out a box from her arms and placed it on the table.

I push Yerin forward.

“This?”

Yerin looked down at the box with a puzzled expression.

It was a redwood box inlaid with mother-of-pearl.

The box itself looked incredibly expensive, with gold-finished edges.

At that moment, Sookmyung recommended Yerin in a confident voice.

“Try to open it.”

‘Is that because they put something grandiose in there?’

Yerin opened the box with a skeptical look.

At the same time, a look of surprise appeared on Yerin’s face.

“This… … .”

Inside the box was a bracelet made of ruby ​​and pearls.

Rubies delicately crafted into the shape of peony flowers, and even pearl decorations.

It was a rare item to be contained in such a luxurious box.

“This is my heart.”

Sookmyung stood up and made a subtle campaign.

As if to say, ‘You can’t refuse something like this, right?’

“I feel like I haven’t been able to give the matriarch even a modest gift since she came to Beihai Province.”

Yerin narrowed her eyes at that smooth voice.

“Well, even if I became the matriarch, I don’t think there’s any reason to receive a gift from the Lord of Finance.”

“no. “There is a new hostess in the North Sea Ice Palace, and she must be treated appropriately.”

… … Couldn’t you show such courtesy through words or actions, rather than a bracelet like this?

Yerin tried to suppress the scolding that rose up to her throat.

But then.

Sookmyung opened his mouth in a soft voice.

“There have been many misunderstandings between me and the matriarch until now.”

misunderstanding?

Yerin opened her eyes.

“But people from the same North Sea Ice Palace can’t keep sharpening their blades forever.”

“Do you really think so?”

“sure.”

Sookmyung nodded loudly.

Then he picked up the bracelet and hung it on Yerin’s wrist.

“Although there have been a few unpleasant incidents before, I sincerely don’t want to embarrass you and the matriarch.”

“That means… … ?”

“I’m saying this to you, isn’t it time to let go of our bad feelings towards each other?”

Look at this?

The tips of Yerin’s eyebrows rose crookedly.

‘No, if you’re going to say something like that, shouldn’t you first apologize for what happened so far?’

The same goes for the land tax issue and the unpleasant events that occurred at the auction.

It was right to conclude the previous matter and discuss the issue of Jijajang’s lifesaving.

But rather than offering an apology, Fate… … .

‘What happened so far is each of our own fault, so let’s bury it.’

That’s what they were talking about.

Even Yerin was speechless at that clever way of speaking.

‘It’s amazing, really.’

That’s how I felt, and I wanted to shoot back and say, ‘I don’t need a bracelet like this, so get out of the way right away.’

But Yerin suppressed her disgust.

Because now… … .

“great.”

huh?

Fate’s eyes widened slightly at the unexpected answer.

Yerin was smiling brightly at Sookmyung.

“It’s a really pretty ruby ​​bracelet.”

“… … Do you like it?”

“sure. “How many people can refuse such a precious gift?”

Yerin continued praising her until her lips were dry.

“It’s hard to find such a rare item even at the temple gate, so you worked hard to get it.”

Is that all?

Yerin couldn’t take her eyes off the bracelet.

No matter where you looked, it looked like a child who had received a gift that he really liked.

At that favorable response, Sookmyung’s face brightened.

“So, this will eliminate any misunderstandings between me and the matriarch, right?”

“sure.”

“then… … .”

Sookmyung lightly licked her dry lips with her tongue.

“I know that the palace lord is very upset because of my nephew, but can I think of you as trying to make him feel better?”

“Of course.”

Yerin nodded her head loudly.

Then, he stretches out both hands and grabs Destiny’s hand.

When Yerin moved her arm, the bracelet shook and made a clanging sound.

‘… … ‘Is it that good?’

Fate looked down at Yerin’s hand with a shocked gaze.

‘To the extent of holding my hand like this?’

At that moment, Yerin brightly expressed her gratitude.

“I will accept this bracelet gratefully.”

Sookmyung completely changed his angry expression and smiled.

“I’m happy because my mother-in-law is happy.”

* * *

After the conversation with Yerin.

Sookmyung, who had escaped outside, glanced back at the Jeonggak from the corner of his eye.

‘Hmph, at least she’s just a twelve-year-old girl.’

Sookmyung snorted with a wry smile.

‘If I jump, it’s in the palm of my hand.’

To be honest, it wasn’t that I didn’t feel sick at all.

Among all the things Sookmyung had, that ruby ​​bracelet was the most precious.

Still, if Jijajang could be saved with just one ruby ​​bracelet, it was a cheap business.

but… … .

‘I don’t like being put in a position where I have to bow down to that girl.’

Sookmyung clenched her fists tightly.

Earlier, I was so surprised when Yerin suddenly grabbed Fate’s hand and held it.

That feeling still remained clearly on the back of my hand.

‘… … I heard that you couldn’t even enter martial arts in the Sacheondangmun.’

It had been a while since she had been to the Ice Palace, and Yerin’s palms had already developed calluses.

Strong hands unique to those who have practiced martial arts.

It was a hand fit for a warrior’s mistress.

… … My niece Ga-eun couldn’t have it even if she tried her whole life.

“joy.”

Sookmyung turned around to let the cold wind blow.

Suddenly, a sharp edge appeared in her eyes.

‘It’s okay, this debt will definitely be repaid someday.’
