New Vengeful Life - Taekook - A bait casted successfully

Winter passed quietly. The developing places were bustling with activities, while the quieter places become more dormant. As no one had visited Jungkook’s residence for a long time, the trio experienced a period of idle silence that was usually hard to come by. In the refreshing early morning air, Shi Zhang and Nam seok sat at the entrance of their residence mending clothes. Their clothes were as old as they could be, needing continuous mending. Although both of their embroidery skills were extraordinary, and these clothes could be worn again after being patched with flowery patterns, brightly-colored threads were extremely valuable to them. On normal days, they did not need such highlighting patchwork.

A boy sat quietly at the window, attentively reading the pages in front of him. The sunlight shone on the side of his pale beautiful face. His long, winged eyebrows frowned lightly. He had a kind of gentleness that moved people’s hearts. Shi Zhang unintentionally turned her head around and was amazed by the vision of her master. She felt that her master possessed an spellbound charm that was rare in the world. When he was quiet, he was immensely refined and serene, almost as if he were a piece of peaceful scenery painting. However, when he became ruthless, his harsh and pokingly mocking aura was a kind of charisma..

Shi Zhang

Our master has grown quite a bit this year and has become much taller. He is no more that innocent small boy of 14 who was scared and meek...

Shi Zhang

In the future, it might be harder to fit him into his clothes. Spring will be coming soon. We should find some time to make some new clothes for him to wear.

Nam Seok

It is easy for you to say

Nam Seok

At this time of the year, the allowance distributed by those people has been halved. Two sets of new clothing require a lot of materials. Where can we find those?

Nam Seok

I think that we need to hike the mountains to gather a few medicinal plants to trade for some money so that we can buy some material to make clothes for our master.

Shi Zhang

Our master is so beautiful, yet the clothes that he wears are so shabby. At such an age, other people are dressed up as good as they can , but our master is not as fortunate.

Shi Zhang

He does not even have a set of brightly-colored clothes. It is such a waste of his good looks. If our master wore those good looking clothes, he would definitely defeat all the handsome men infact beautiful ladies in the entire capital.

Nam Seok

Talking about this is futile. You are speaking about the capital right now, but I don’t even know when can we return to the manor.

While they were chattering away, someone knocked on the door outside. It was a maid who came to deliver firewood.

Maid glanced at the clothes in Nam Seok’s hands and smiled

Xiao Yuan

Senior's hands are so skilled. This needlework is done so finely that one can not tell that the clothes have been mended.

Nam Seok

(chuckled) It was merely sewn casually. Furthermore, who would notice this when worn in our everyday lives?

Xiao Yuan

This year, my mother made me a new peach short coat. Unexpectedly, while I was working, I ripped a hole under the arm. If I possessed a skill like yours, I wouldn’t need to feel worried about it anymore.

Shi Zhang

It will be fine. Just let Nam seok mend it for you.

Nam Seok

Of course, I can. It is just that I don’t have any peach-colored thread here. You will have to give me a spool.

Shi Zhang

But, maids like you that serve in the main residence are extremely lucky and privileged. How is it even possible that you own any torn clothes?

Xiao Yuan

Who said that we were full of luck?

Xiao Yuan

I would rather serve our young master who has such a good personality. Let me not keep both Seniors in the dark. It is very hard to perform duties for those few people who are outside this residence. It is not only Auntie Lan, but even her son is someone who is not easy to deal with. Lately, his behaviour has been excessively bad.

Xiao Yuan

I heard that he went behind Auntie Lan’s back and sold off one of their lands. After Auntie Lan found out about it last night she flew into a terrible rage.

Xiao Yuan

Yesterday it caused Auntie Lan to be very furious. I heard that she asked him where the money went, but she could not get an answer out of him, so she scaned through his entire room quite thoroughly. You should be able to guess what the result was- he didn’t even have a single cent left!

Xiao Yuan

Auntie Lan is also acting very strangely. In the end, he had a big fight with Auntie Lan and walked off without another word or any consideration for her feelings.

Nam Seok put the clothes down and walked to Jungkook's side. Jungkook, who was reading, raised his head with a shadow of a smile...

Jeon jungkook

He’s got quite the nerve to sell the land without consulting his mother.

Suddenly, they heard Shi Zhang's loud voice roaring from outside,

Shi Zhang

How dare you misbehave and rush inside?

Yet, another voice was burning with scorching anger, “Don’t block my way. Let me in!”

Nam Seok could not help feeling stunned as that voice sounded very familiar to her. It was definitely Chen Fang. But what was Chen Fang here for? Jungkook looked out of the window and smirked slightly

The door swung open with a bang. Chen Fang appeared in front of Jungkook anger and hatred clearly visible on her face. Jungkook did not even give Chen Fang a glance. His eyes continued to stay fixed on the pages in front of him. Chen Fang planned to stay cool so that Jungkook would be the one who would first direct a question at her. However, she did not expect that Jungkook would barely raise his head. Her heart thumped. This kind of attitude left her with no confidence.

Chen Fang

Master, a few days ago, did you not go to admire the Queen of the Night?

Jeon jungkook

No. i didnt. I suddenly felt unwell that night so I could not make the trip to the pear blossom garden to admire the flower. (he said making a dramatic expression of being ill )

Chen Fang

Master, how could you do this?( grew angrier)

Chen Fang

Clearly, you had accepted my invitation. If you were unable to attend, you should have at least sent someone to inform me.

Jeon jungkook

No one told you?.. ( little surprised ) Shi Zhang, didn’t I tell you to notify Fang that night that I was unable to go? Don’t tell me that you forgot..

Shi Zhang

No matter what, I would not dare to forget your orders. That night, I went to the pear blossom garden. Even though I waited and waited, she did not come at all. I thought that Miss Fang already knew about it and thats why she did not come. so after midnight I returned here.

Chen Fang was so furious that her face could not help but shed its makeup foundation. She had thought about various possible scenarios in her mind but she had never predicted that Jungkook would treat her with such a lukewarm attitude...

Jeon jungkook

But Fang, it has already been quite some time since the appointment between you and I, so how can you come only now to ask about that night’s happenings? Don’t tell me that you yourself did not go to the pear blossom garden, but you were confident that I did?

Chen Fang was at a loss for words. A hint of nervousness flashed across her face. Chen Fang’s words were all jumbled up. She realized that no matter how she tried to express herself, her words were full of loopholes.

Chen Fang

No, no, it’s just that… It’s just that I only became aware today that you had never gone there. That night, I had something to attend to, so I did not keep the appointment…

Chen Fang bit her lips. Although her heart was extremely unwilling to let the matter go, she could not find a point that she could logically argue with. She could only blame herself for rushing here today when she had not planned her counter measure for dealing with Jungkook.

Chen Fang’s heart suddenly tightened in alarm and she eyed Jungkook uneasily. She met Jungkook's smiling gaze. However, looking at it carefully, she felt that those pair of clear eyes contained waves of murderous intention. The rising corner of her eyes had the icy harshness of the devil.

Chen Fang forced herself to smile while digging her own nails in her palm as she stormed out.

Shi Zhang

Look at her lack of discipline. She is out of control and does not act like a servant at all. I really need to teach her a proper lesson someday!

Jeon jungkook

Why do we need to wait for another day?( closed his book) She will be taught a lesson soon enough.

Nam Seok

Master.. ( slight smile ) dont tell me that, that night...

Jeon jungkook

Since I didn’t go, naturally, there would be someone who would replace me. It seems like that Fang had not only invited a wolf, but also a wolf that loved money. ( he smirked at Nam seok as he held the book close )

Shi Zhang

That girl is extremely mad by nature. I only needed to act a bit in front of her, and she took our bait in such a hurry!

Jeon jungkook

You have accomplished this task beautifully..( smiled at Shi Zhang)...Who knows how long will Chen Zhao be able to enjoy this?

The story branched into two different, yet interrelated, routes simultaneously. On the one hand, just when Chen Zhao and Chen Fang thought they would succeed, against all odds Jungkook and his maids managed to emerge untouched from this unfavorable situation. On the other hand, that night the main leads of this wonderful show were in the midst of their honeymoon period...

Few days passed without any ruckus or trouble...

At the moment, a tall healthy lady, dressed in purple clothing, was sitting in front of a copper mirror and carefully examining a pearl necklace on her neck. The necklace was made from South China pearls which were huge and round, and also of excellent quality. After a long time passed, Chun Ling removed the necklace from her neck. After all, she could never wear such an accessory out in public. She might be in trouble if someone suspected that she had obtained it wrongfully, because it was impossible for a maid of her rank to be able to own such a luxurious item. She walked to the side of her bed and brought a small box and unlocked it using a small copper key. Filled to the brim, it was a box full of pearls, jade and jewelry. Chun Ling placed the pearl necklace inside the box and gazed at its lustre. No matter how hard she might have worked as a servant, it was not possible for her to get such accessories. Chun Ling smiled. That idiot was unexpectedly agreeable to her wishes, sending the jewelry over without any objections.A few days ago, she had heard the news of Jungkook wanting to admire flowers with someone under the moon. That night, she visited the pear blossom garden herself, to investigate the matter. She did not see Jungkook there, but surprisingly instead, someone embraced her from behind as soon as she had arrived. Initially, she was extremely frightened when that person moved closer to her ear and whispered.....

Chen Zhao

Love, you should not scream. If anyone sees you with me, you are going to be only tied to me for the rest of your life. Even though I cherish you greatly, I have treated you poorly, I will take care of you well.

Chun Ling finally understood. The person was Chen Zhao, who had mistaken her for Jungkook cause she was same height and bit healthy as jungkook. However, before she could process what was happening, Chen Zhao had already started to tear her clothes off. He pulled her to a dark corner and started kissing her roughly. Soon he trailed his kiss towards her chin and neck. Chun Ling thought of opposing and punched Chen Zhao's chest with her fist.

But Chen Zhao held are hand above her had and started making dark reddish marks on her neck. Chun Ling was not enjoying it but not hating it also. Chen Zhao put her down on the ground and removed her upper coverings. He hovered and removed his own clothes. Soon, slow moans and grunting sounds could be heard. Body slapping with each other and sloppy kissing sounds were filling the atmosphere with that particular corner of the garden. The bush beside was shaking as Chun Ling held it for grip. She was filling a lot of pain but the person above was on cloud nine.

Chen Zhao was really harsh on the person below without knowing her identity. He thought it to be Jungkook and did his all thinking if he would get a chance again or not. Under the moon light, that day , Chen Zhao was really foolish to do all that he wanted to do with Jungkook to this mere maid. As the dawn neared Chen Zhao stopped and flopped beside a panting Chun Ling, filled with red marks and some of her clothes...At first, Chun Ling wanted to scream but as the sound began to escape her lips, she stopped herself.

After all, Chen Zhao was the son of the person who was in charge of managing the residence and even though it did not seem like an important position, she was extremely knowledgeable about the large amount of private property that Song Lan had gathered over the years. Chen Zhao’s life was in no way inferior to an ordinary wealthy family’s. Her high ranked maid life wasnt that satisfactory. But, if she had someone rich like Chen Zhao as a pawn, then----

Submitting to Chen Zhao sexually, she had a passionate encounter with him. Chun Ling did not mind that she lost her virginity. If she could sell her body for a good price, then there was no harm in it. Anyway, in the future she could only be someone’s concubine. Later, when Chen Zhao woke up and realized that the person by his side was Chun Ling, the color immediately drained from his face. Chun Ling threatened him that if he did not pay her for her silence, she would take him to court and let everyone know how Chen Zhao had humiliated her.

It had never crossed Chen Zhao’s mind that Chun Ling was not just a beauty, but also a cunning snake. Not only that, she was extremely sly and shameless. He had no choice but to fullfill Chun Ling's demands.

Coughing up money again and again, Chen Zhao had become embarrassingly short of money, however, Chun Ling still cornered him relentlessly. For this reason Chen Zhao silently sold off the first piece of land.

Today, Chen Zhao felt that Chun Ling was being too greedy. Their arguments became more and more serious, and eventually, one could no longer see the devilish beauty under the moon that night. Chun Ling had just closed the box when she heard the door open. Chen Zhao impatiently went into the room. She stood up immediately and frowned. Just within a few days of meeting him, his expression had become haggard and his eyes bloodshot.

Chen Zhao

Despite being a cheap slave, you can afford to drink this high grade silver needle tea. As expected, you do not need to think twice before you spend the money that I gave you!

Chun Ling

Yes, I am a cheap slave. But who do you regard yourself as? Don’t tell me that you really think of yourself as the son of a wealthy family? Or did you think that as long as you have Young master Jungkook, you would be able to claim connections to the minister?

Chen Zhao

You-( anger flashed ) You shouldn’t go overboard in taking unfair advantage of me.

Chun Ling

It was you who took advantage of me. But why did you come here today?

Chen Zhao

I came here today to inform you that I dont have more money. Let’s settle this once and say that it was something that we were both willing to do.

Chun Ling

We were both willing? You want to claim that we were both willing, but when we are at court, do you really think that the magistrate will believe you?

Chen Zhao lost his temper. He gave a bloodshot red eyed look to Chun Ling. He wished to rush and kill this wh0re infront of him, but he was helpless. He can't just attempt a murder in the day light. That too the head maid of his mother. But he had no other way too. This lady was too greedy. He had already sold property papers. Now he had nothing to give or sale. But the greed and demand of this lady was never ending. Chen Zhao wanted to end this for final. And if it can't be mutual, it has to be one sided.

At midnight, the moon was curved like a hook. The cold wind rustled through the wild, overgrown branches in the backyard. In the courtyard, a maid who was carrying a laundry basket suddenly stopped. Hearing the sound of an object falling into the water from the veranda, she turned her head in alarm. Feeling an eeriness from the courtyard, she quickly left.

Outside the pear blossom garden, Shi Zhang was holding a large paper bag in her hands and speaking to Jungkook rather happily. Jungkook looked at the sky. Dark clouds covering almost half of the moon. The light outside was slightly hazy. He suddenly spoke with a strange calmness.

Jeon Jungkook

A murder taking place during a moonless night as the wind howls.. ( chuckled )..indeed a beautiful scene...

These words were spoken in such an odd manner that Shi Zhang could not make head or tail of them. Suddenly out of the darkness, a person hurried towards them. She was able to clearly recognize the person only when they came near. It was Chen Zhao. Chen Zhao also noticed the duoa and stopped his steps immediately.

Jungkook's gaze travelled across Chen Zhao’s tense expression and slid to his exposed neck. The streaks of bright red scars on his neck were particularly eye-catching. Chen Zhao seemed completely unaware about the scars himself. Jungkook’s lips curved into a mocking arrogant smile at Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao gritted his teeth. His gaze was suddenly filled with hatred as he recalled how he had attracted a person as troublesome as Chun Ying because of Jungkook. If it were not for him, he would not have needed to kill someone. But now, he had killed but yet, Jungkook was still perfectly innocent.

Jungkook slightly smirked like mocking Chen Zhao and asked Shi Zhang to lead the way. He left a shocked and sweating Chen Zhao there. Chen Zhao glanced at Jungkook's back with his all anger, hatred and fear as the widened eyes of the person who died flashed infront of him...
