A dying man never lies!

NovelToon
The mistake ninety-nine percent of humanity made, were being ashamed of what they were, lying about it, trying to be somebody else.
Honesty should have been the currency, the weapon and defense. But what happened was the oppsite. It frightened people when you were honest; it shocked them.
The changes are in aspects of technology and some minute changes of mindset.. but where is the upliftment???
No where to be seen..
They were being humiliated and seeked revenge..
they still do so..
and they will be doing so in future too..
None has the capacity to look at their faults as plus points..
Seeing the matter enfolding totally in the opposite flow, Jeon-sui couldn't bear to stand their anymore. She was about to leave when her maternal grandfather caught her have and jerked her inside back with a tight smile. He was no way gonna leave this idiot girl for whom his house has been humiliated infront of the Princes. He, now, really regretted for why he decided to help Xia Yan and torment Jungkook. Jungkook wasn't tormented but his own reputation fell as if did suicide from a cliff. He was going to burst with anger in any moment. And what triggered him more was that in all of this, even though Jungkook was dragged, he still was faultless and unstained whereas his grandson and family lost its face.
Soon Jungkook called for his people and asked them to retrieve Jong-in from the scene and cover him up. When Jong-in and Dak-sae were woken up, they both screamed with shock. Jong in couldn't believe that he himself plotted for his r@pe by helping Jeon Sui. And Xia Dak-sae started panicking and hyperventilating when he found out it was a mere servant boy whom he assaulted and not Jungkook. As per their agreement, Jeon sui would bring people to expose Jungkook and put the blame that Jungkook was the one who seduced him. But here it was a mere servant boy and all the blames were on him. He was totally responsible for this illicit act now. He could sense the anger radiating from his grandfather and beside him Jeon-sui stood while looking down. Xia Dak-sae wanted to slap her then and there, but that wag impossible because of the princes. It was beyond shocking for everyone present out there. So he immediately rushed to his grandfather's feet and started begging for mercy and pleaded sorry. Transferring all the charges on Jong-in, he tried to prove himself innocent. He even approached the princes for greeting and apology but none of them listened to him. When he approached Taehyung, he immediately glared at him as if he was something disgusting and pulled Jungkook behind himself. He didn't want this animal to be near him. Soon all the other members of Xia family gathered up. Xia Yan was totally shaken and devastated to know what had happened. Firstly, she was furious why Jungkook turned lucky everytime and was unharmed and Second, she was even more furious for Sui's foolishness. She slumped on the ground and almost fainted when she heard this because she at once got to know that it's her daughter who foolishly created all this mess. Chungha, Dak-sae's mother, started yelling, cursing and blaming Jeon Sui for everything in the presence of the princes. The whole morning broke into a chaos and the princes where highly disappointed with the Xia family.
How ever, the Crown Prince had been quite impressed with Jungkook's confidence and coolness. Even when the arrows were pointed and it was clearly a trap for him, he was impressed to see how Jungkook stayed calm and collected all the while. This Crown Prince wasn’t even half as good as Bogum. As the eldest son, he was declared the Crown Prince but he really didn't poses any extra talent. He was not even that cunning politically or strong physically. Yet, as the Crown Prince he had the highest authority. He decided to do the justice so that atleast people would have some respect for him.

( walked up near Jungkook and asked with a smile )
Crown Prince Chang wook
Crown Prince Chang wook
Young Master Jeon..
Crown Prince Chang wook
Crown Prince Chang wook
I know that initially all the charges were upon you and you were the one to be blamed. But it's very clear to me that all this was just a futile set up to defile you but you turned lucky.
Crown Prince Chang wook
Crown Prince Chang wook
And I would like to ask you, if you desire justice for anything else that has been happening to you? Because clearly the Xia manor has failed us.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
** The crown prince is usually not that friendly with others. Whats with Jungkook? **
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
I dont dare to question his Highness's decission. For me, I was never the victim. Even though the trap was set, it went in vain. But someone innocent got stuffed in it.
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
It's that somebody who didn't get any justice.
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
How should the perpetrator in the ancestral hall be dealt with?
Jeon Sui, receiving all the glares had turned pale and weak, was getting assisted by her servant from the chair. Yet, upon hearing this, Jeon Sui's body turned weak and almost fell down. Xia Dak-sae's gulped his anger as his eyes turned red. Chungha also stepped back as she heard Jungkook handing the decision to the princes.
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
Maternal Grandfather, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, it would be better to bring the villain here. ( says Innocently)
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
** How can he be so innocent looking when he is single handedly makimg the whole family suffer?**
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
( looks at Jungkook with eyes of confusion and admiration )
Xia Cheng was about to spit blood.
He was sure that Jungkook must have known Xia Dak-sae's identity. He must have acted on purpose. He felt that Jungkook had a deep and terrible scheme.
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
It’s all thanks to Mother who gave me a good servant boy. This servant boy is loyal and considerate.
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
This loyal servant was given by Eomma and so she would also want to avenge Jong-in's grievances. Right?
Xia  Chungha
Xia Chungha
( rushed to sui and grabbed her hand )
Xia  Chungha
Xia Chungha
What happened to my Dak-sae? ( cried )
She couldn’t understand. Although her son’s actions were frivolous, he wouldn’t be so stupid as to do such a thing in a place like the ancestral hall. There must be an ulterior motive!
Jeon Sui did not know that Xia Yan and her mother had already discussed the countermeasures and had actually acted on her own plan without permission.
She must have been trapped by Jungkook again.
Exasperated at Jeon Sui's disobedience, she quickly pondered about the way to deal with the situation at hand. If something really happened to Xia Dak-sae , neither Xia Cheng nor Chungha would spare this pair of mother and daughter.
After all, Xia Dak-sae was the only legitimate grandson of the Xia households and would inherit the family property in the future.
Xia Cheng gritted his teeth. After seeing that this matter had turned this way, he could only allege that Xia Dak-sae was seduced by the servant boy.
Xia Cheng
Xia Cheng
Bring that unfilial son and servant here! ( shouted angrily )
The servants soon brought in the still dazed Xia Dak-sae and Jong-in . However, it didn’t take long for the two of them to sober up. Xia Cheng stepped forward and slapped Xia Dak-sae in the face.
Xia Cheng
Xia Cheng
Unfilial son!
Xia Cheng
Xia Cheng
How dare you do such a thing! ( yelled angrily )
Xia  Chungha
Xia Chungha
My son, why are you so stupid?
Xia  Chungha
Xia Chungha
Why did you act muddle-headed in the ancestral hall? ( broke down into tears )
Dak-sae
Dak-sae
Grandfather, it’s all my fault. I was drunk on wine last night and entered the ancestral hall by mistake.
Dak-sae
Dak-sae
Unexpectedly, this servant boy seduced me.
Jong in
Jong in
No, it’s not this servant’s fault. ( cried out heart filled with despair )
Jong in
Jong in
Master, this servant really didn’t seduce Young Master.
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
Jong-in , I naturally believe you.
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
You are the servant Eomma personally chose for me, how can I not trust your character?
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
Jungkook-ah
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
one may know a person for a long time without knowing his true nature.
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
Jong-in usually seemed to be upright and honest, but I didn’t expect him to have such a dirty mind. (looked at Jong-in with eyes filled with disgust)
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
I thought the person chosen by Mother must be excellent.
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
Unexpectedly, Shi Zhang , Nam Seok, or even Baek Zhang - all who I have chosen myself- who are poor people from rural areas, have never shown such a surprising thing, but Jong-in , chosen by Mother, broke the precepts.
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
Eomma , please take the other servant in my courtyard back.
Xia Yan was astonished.
She clenched her teeth secretly. She had placed those spies with great difficulty and now everything was being pulled out by JungKook's words.
But at present, she could only agree.
Jong in
Jong in
No.. NO.. NO... ( shouted )
Jong in
Jong in
No, No, Young master . I didn’t seduce Young Master Xia.
Jong in
Jong in
Lady Jeon, save me! Second Miss, save me!
Jeon Sui
Jeon Sui
( limped hurriedly and stood behind Xia Yan )
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
Jong-in , although I trust you, I trust Eomma more.
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
Since she has said so, there’s nothing I can do about it.
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
But, even if you didn’t seduce my cousin, your body is defiled and even in a place like the ancestral hall.
Jeon Sui
Jeon Sui
Ye. . . yes.. yes. My eomma can never make any mistake in identifying people.
Jeon Sui
Jeon Sui
It.. it must be you who has framed my innocent mother into your trap. ( says as he clutches her mother's clothes from behind )
Jeon Sui
Jeon Sui
In order to protect your reputation, you have no way to live. Whether you seduced him or not, the result is the same.
Jong-in shivered and looked at Jeon Sui with fear. He suddenly understood that Jeon Sui was right. Today, he really had no way to live.
Jungkook wouldn’t take the initiative to save him.
Between her and Xia Dak-sae , Xia Yan would only choose Xia Dak-sae , no one would speak for him.
He realized that he was going to die, no matter what, and there was no way out while his family’s life was still in the hands of Xia Yan.
Jong in
Jong in
( looked at Xia Yan and Jeon Sui angrily as if cursing through eyes. All his life, he had worked for them, helped them carry out all of their evil plots. All his life he had followed them. But now when it was his turn and stood at the death door, looking back he saw none.)
Jong in
Jong in
( then he got up from floor where he was kneeling and walked near Jungkook with a soft smile on his face )
Jong in
Jong in
Young master. . . ( says softly as his voice shakes )
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
( looks at Jong-in without any expression)
Jong in
Jong in
Since the day i entered your courtyard, I don't think I did what a servant should have done. ( tears roll down )
Jong in
Jong in
Due to the false hope by some empty vessels I forgot that you are my master. ( looked at Jungkook )
Jong in
Jong in
And even today I feel ashamed to stand infront of you. I got it. I understood what I should have earlier. ( sighs )
Jong in
Jong in
There is really no way left for me other than dieing. I will die with shame and humiliation if I stay alive and i will die now if i get injustice. Both are torture.
Jong in
Jong in
Stay alert. You have snakes in your garden.
Jong in
Jong in
I wish u forgive this mere slave. ( cried out )
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
( raised his hand and wiped Jong-in's tears )
Jong in
Jong in
You forgive me? ( asks with hopefully )
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
( didn't said anything )
Jong in
Jong in
( smiles softly )
Jong in
Jong in
Please know that I did this for my family. ( says with teary red and determined eyes )
Jong in
Jong in
I beg young master to take care of this servant’s parents.
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
( assuring small smile )
Jong in
Jong in
See you in the next life!
Jong in
Jong in
( with that, within a blink he took out a small long iron pin from his hair and stabbed his own neck )
Jeon jungkook
Jeon jungkook
JONG-IN ! ( shouted )
Jong in
Jong in
( collapsed dead on the floor )
Jeon Sui
Jeon Sui
Aaaah‼️ Eomma... ( yelled with fright and hid her face in her mother's arms )
Sui naturally knew that the death of Jong-in was ultimately related to her and she was frightened.
Xia Dak-sae was also surprised that the beautiful boy of last night’s ecstasy was now dripping with blood. It was really terrifying.
Jungkook watched quietly with a expression of sympathy.
His last life in prison came to mind, seeing Jong-in following Jeon Sui and also Dong-ah who had absused him in the jail. Time flew. In this life, Jong-in had no chance to betray and hurt him.
The Crown Prince was really furious and disappointed in Xia Family. He was very angry with this audacious and shameless actions taking infront of him. Even though these triggered Bogum and he was disappointed with Xia Cheng and his family for upsetting the Crown Prince, he was unable to reprimand them or do something because Xia faction was on his side and doing anything suspicious now can only drag him into problem. It was no doubt that the Xia family had dragged themselves into a huge pit of dung and their name and fame was definitely about to fall with this. But would Bogum step up and stand? No. Never. he had this in his bones and blood since the very beginning. When one is of no use, throw them. When the allies are at disadvantage leave them. Kim Taehyung, among them all was busy with something else. He was neither concerned about the xia family, the reputation, the servant or the people. Death never affected him deeply. He had massacred thousands and his life had been always bloody. He never knew those tactics that these people use to scury favor and support. A crud rough youngman with straight forward thoughts and features. And now Jungkook's actions was what irked him. He was clearly able to read the motive of this person. He was clearly seeing that hatred and ruthless vengeance in those bambi eyes. Such a little and not so strong person, not even knowing how to fight and protect himself. How could he be so confident to get into these deep waters and play dirty? He was totally striking his stone with Eight Prince and royals. Taehyung found this amusing.
Crown Prince Chang wook
Crown Prince Chang wook
This.. what has happened infront of me is very shameful. I never expected such treatment and welcome for me when i came to this Xia manor. I never expected such things going on here. Today, this matter, would be definitely informed to father emperor by me.
Crown Prince Chang wook
Crown Prince Chang wook
Discipline within the family and strong control on the youth of the house has always been the most important duty of the elders. But here I see the elders being childish them selves. So i guess Xia family should have proper discipline.
Crown Prince Chang wook
Crown Prince Chang wook
And regarding Young Master Jeon Jungkook..... Even though his servant died, young master Xia is not faultless. He is definitely the one with complete sense to carry out this illicit task. So i, the Crown Prince, ban him entering the official dom for 5 years. He won't be allowed to enter any royal discussion and take part in them. He is banned.
Crown Prince Chang wook
Crown Prince Chang wook
For the insult and defaming of Jeon Jungkook, i punish the Xia family's each and every member with the wood punishment. I order for 10 flocks for each member and I shall personally take account of the flocking..
The colors had drained of the faces of the Xia family. Xia tzuyu had started wailing and protesting for not accepting the punishment but infront of the Crown Prince’s command, none can question anything. Xia Cheng felt like kicking Jeon-sui out of his house. This was utter humiliation and definitely nothing can stop it from happening. All the members would be laid on the wooden platform and get flocked with a wooden slab on their behind by the rough tough old maids, this was beyond any normal insult. Xia Yan and Jeon Sui were chewing on bloody nails. Such deep chasten was ! this was engraved on their bones for this life. Without uttering a single word or raising a question, Jeon Sui stormed out of the hall to the punishment area. Infront of the nation's most demanded and honored bachelor princes, she would be flocked! what can be more degrading than this.
Soon the rough old ladies of the Xia family came and started thier task. As it was the order of the Crown Prince they didn't dare to do any partiality and be lenient to anyone. These ladies were young miss and wives of high class, they were not accustomed to such rough beatings. Most of them fainted and had to carried back. Xia Cheng was internally planning to murder that foolish girl for this debase and moreover he hated Jungkook to his bone deep.
After the punishment was over, Jungkook turned back to leave when he bumped onto someone. A sturdy muscular chest and also a grip on Jungkook's wrist of a veiny rough hand that of a true warrior. Who could it be if not Haneul-ui meoli Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
You’re very ruthless. ( said with a very slow and deep voice )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
What has it to do with you? ( said while looking at him bravely )
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Why so much grudge and anger, kook? ( asked gently )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
( stunned after hearing a nickname and started squirming in Taehyung's grip who only made his grip tighter and brought him close )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Who are you to give me a nickname?Who are you to question me?
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Haneul Kim.. ( smiles ).. a name you gave.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Stop getting indulged with me Haneul. Stop it. ( says as he slowly gets out of his grip )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
We both are really different. We can never have anything in common.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
I am here for some motive.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Deadly motive. ( says as he looks fierce )
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Why deadly?
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Why do you want to know?
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Cause how much ever I try, I am not able to understand your moves, your motive and...you.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Eighth prince Bogum will not let you off.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
In this world there are many people who will not let me off.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
I have the capability to protect myself , do you have it? ( raised an eyebrow )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
I am not dead yet. ( scoffed )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Whether I have the capability to protect myself or not, hasn’t Haneul Kim seen it clearly?
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
You are a puzzle that I am not able to solve and its like a challenge slapping me.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
It is beneficial to sit on the fence but in the end, isn’t it shameful. Since you have already chosen your side, don’t easily change your mind; be careful or else you might offend both parties.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
** You have once helped Jeon Sui, Haneul. And now you are with me. How can I even trust you?**
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Then dont try. I cant be solved beacuse i am someone from. . . ( takes a deep breath as Taehyung again comes close )
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
From. . .
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
( gives Taehyung a final look and turns to leave. A look filled with loneliness yet determination, abyss yet fierce, weak yet so ruthlessly brave)
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
From hell.. ( whispers under breath as he walks out )
.
.
Meanwhile, inside the residence, Chungha was silently dabbing at her tears and Xia Cheng’s face was gloomy. After seeing Xia Dak-sae's ghostly white face, Xia Cheng couldn’t contain his anger anymore as he pointed at Jeon Sui...
Xia Cheng - You shamless evil girl! On your knees! Kneel. ( shouted angrily )
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
Father, what are you doing?
Xia Cheng - Don’t think I do not know why last night Dak-sae went to the ancestral hall for no reason. ( sneared ).... Wasn’t it a trick that this evil girl came up with! ( rasped out ).... Now Jungkook has suffered no harm and yet your hyung has been used to satisfy other people’s motives. You foolish devil girl!
Jeon Sui
Jeon Sui
Hyung himself agreed to this matter, furthermore, I only asked him to comfort Jungkook . ( said as she hid more from Chungha )
Jeon Sui
Jeon Sui
If.. if he didn’t have those types of thoughts, how would it have escalated into this situation? (side eyed Dak-sae while hiding behind Xia yan)
Xia Dak sae
Xia Dak sae
Comfort?… You put an aphrodisiac into the incense burner and you really thought no one would know? ( rasped out )
This was something he had figured out later on. At that time, the ancestral hall was heavy with fumes but he had merely thought that it was the ancestral hall’s incense.
However, when he became rational, he was immediately able to pinpoint what was suspicious.
Chungha could no longer contain herself and rushed up, pulling Xia Yan away from Sui.A slap landed on Jeon Sui's face.She had exerted a lot of force and thus Sui was sent staggering. The veil obscuring her face fell down and revealed half of her hideous face.
Jeon Sui
Jeon Sui
Eomma.. ( stunned and cried )What are you doing? ( shrieked loudly while covering her horrible face )
At this moment, Chungha had completely abandoned her image of a dignified and composed noble lady. She looked ferocious, as if she wanted to swallow Jeon Sui whole.
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
Second Sister-in-law! ( shouted in defence of Sui )You’re too much.
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
Dak-sae , too, bears the responsibility in this matter, why then is Sui being blamed for everything? ( asks angrily while shielding Sui )
Xia Cheng was pushed to his limits and could no longer endure.
Xia Cheng - You foolish girl! You can never defeat that Jungkook. You will always lack behind him in using the presence of mind. This is why he is superior to you in all these stages. you can never defeat him with your lack of sensitivity.
Although Xia Yan was dissatisfied with the way Xia Cheng spoke to Sui, she had always been fearful of Xia Cheng and therefore, did not dare to say anything at the moment.
However, Xia Cheng’s sentence of ‘lacking in comparison to Jungkook ’ really sparked something in Jeon Sui and in the heat of the moment she carelessly said. . .
Jeon Sui
Jeon Sui
Oehal-abeoji is right, I am indeed lacking compared to Jungkook and do not have the scheming mind.
Jeon Sui
Jeon Sui
But what about Oehal-abeoji's own trick, the hall? ( looked at Xia cheng fiercely )
Jeon Sui
Jeon Sui
Wasn’t it also seen through by others and you even made a fool of yourself in front of the Crown Prince and Eighth Prince? ( scoffed and smirked which made her scared face look more ugly )
Xia Cheng was boiling with violent rage and one of his legs flew up and kicked Sui to the side.
Xia Cheng - Evil girl, get out of here! ( shouted out )Tomorrow morning, gather your Jeon family people and get out of my manor, I will take it that I never had you, this daughter and this granddaughter! ( kicked a beside table and breaks it )
Jeon Sui was again kicked to the ground by Xia Chungha and she covered her face without saying anything.Only, her gaze was gloomy like a poisonous snake
After that, she supported Xia Dak-sae and walked out without looking at the mother and daughter pair as all other left those two there.
Jeon Sui
Jeon Sui
Eomma. . . Eomma , how could they treat me like this! ( wailed loudly )
Although Xia Yan was also furious that Jeon Sui took things into her own hands and settled Jungkook herself, Jeon Sui was still her own flesh and blood.
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
It was eomma's fault. Eomma originally wanted your maternal grandfather to help scheme against Jungkook , but didn’t expect Jungkook to be this cunning. ( consoles sui while patting her )
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
Eomma should not have left that despicable person alive in the first place. ( facial expression stiffened )
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
Five years ago I should have sent him and his short-lived mother to hell together.
Jeon Sui
Jeon Sui
I can't take this Eomma. This insult.. this humiliation... this is killing me.. its itching in my bones.. I can't take this.. this is too much.. I wanna kill that *****!
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
I have my ways. I will definitely render that despicable person unable to change his situation for the better.
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
That.. that jeon Jungkook ( huffed with anger )
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
He will.. will see hell on earth. I will kill him thousand times before he dies. He will die the most cruel death. ( hissed like a snake while hugging Sui )

Old Jeon Madame had just regained consciousness a few days ago after hearing Dong-ah's incident and after nourishing her body, she was better. However, when one has reached the later stage of their life, one’s health and vitality couldn’t be compared to their younger days and bouts of illness were normal occurrences. It had only been a few days, yet she had grown wan and sallow by quite a fair bit. There were even signs of aging in her complexion. One of her maid carried the bowl of medicine in and gave a look to head maid who was keeping watch over Old Jeon Madame. Head maid hurriedly stood up and smiled at Old Jeon Madame who was lost in thought while looking outside the window. Old Jeon Madame glanced at Head maid and stretched out her hand to take the bowl of medicine from tray herself.
Old madame Jeon
Old madame Jeon
What's up in the manor these days? I don't think there is something so good happening for the Lady to prepare a banquet...
Maid - Old Madame, your birthday celebration is in a few days, and madam Xia says that she wants to personally organise the event for you.
Old madame Jeon
Old madame Jeon
It is only a disguise to deceive people. ( says irritatedly)
Old madame Jeon
Old madame Jeon
Does she think that I do not know what ideas she has in her mind? These tactic of inviting public for greater humiliation have always been her strength. But I am afraid that her plans will be in vain, Min-ji's second son is no simple person. His eyes hides it all so well..
Maids looked at each other in blank dismay- Old Jeon Madame was usually strictly self-restrained. However, after she fell ill this time, it was as if she had become a new person, especially with her being extremely unsatisfied with Xia Yan and the other two.
For the next few days, there was the pitter-patter of drizzle in the capital’s centre and the gray clouds seemed to never leave the capital city’s skies.
The dry food that the rich families’ manor stored was starting to grow moldy from the humid weather, and needless to say, for the poor families too.
The capital city’s newly built Top Scorer’s manor was washed by the rain water till it was shiny and gleaming. Even if the weather was gloomy, it could not dispense the great amount of joy present in the Jin manor.
In the study room, Jin was standing at the window, staring at the water droplets that were dripping from the ledge, deep in his thoughts.
The water level of the reservoir that protected the river from flooding had risen quite a bit. Even if it was the newly renovated Top Scorer’s house, while staying at home, one could still feel a trace of cold dampness.
The servant behind him considerately offered him a cup of ginger tea. Seok-jin turned around and accepted the cup of tea from the servant girl’s hands. He gently took a sip. Though he was not old, he still possessed a profound and distinct arrogance. Compared to the impulsive sons of the rich families in the capital city, he was like a piece of smooth, pure and pleasantly cool green jade.
Kim Seok Jin ( Grand Counselor of Kwang)
Kim Seok Jin ( Grand Counselor of Kwang)
These few days, did you receive any letters for me?
"There is no letter, young master", said the maid.
Kim Seok Jin ( Grand Counselor of Kwang)
Kim Seok Jin ( Grand Counselor of Kwang)
Like any anonymous has sent it..
"No, master. There has been none."
Immediately, a flash of disappointment passed over Seok-jin's face. Ever since he was appointed as the Top Scorer in the imperial examination, he had never heard from that mysterious person again.
At this moment, Seok-jin's mother hastily walked in, holding a bronze invitation.
Jin's Mother - Son.. we have invitation...The lady of the capital’s Minister Jeon has sent an invitation, inviting us to their Old Madame’s longevity birthday celebration. I originally wanted to reject it, but now that you have entered into officialdom, having someone to look after you would be good. This invitation is written clearly, it is our first time going to a gathering in the capital city and it should be safe for us to pay a special visit to them. Furthermore, there will definitely be a lot of prominent young ladies attending this celebration. If you see one that catches your attention, mother will help you take note. ( laughed )
Kim Seok Jin ( Grand Counselor of Kwang)
Kim Seok Jin ( Grand Counselor of Kwang)
Eomma, I have no interest in ladies. ( says with a bored tone )
Jin's mother - Then men?You like gentlemen. No problem. There will be young men from noble families too.
Kim Seok Jin ( Grand Counselor of Kwang)
Kim Seok Jin ( Grand Counselor of Kwang)
Eomma i have no interest in any kind of romantic stuff. ( says irritated )
Kim Seok Jin ( Grand Counselor of Kwang)
Kim Seok Jin ( Grand Counselor of Kwang)
This child of yours only wants to establish his career, I have no wish to get married.
Jin's mother - Thats nonsene... Mother still wants to carry a grandchild.
Kim Seok Jin ( Grand Counselor of Kwang)
Kim Seok Jin ( Grand Counselor of Kwang)
Fine.. fine.. Since Eomma wishes to go, naturally we should go. ( laughes with his mother )
Jin's mother - That's like a good son. I have a feeling this time.. like a good indication that this...this visit to Jeon manor is going to bring changes in your life.. really impact full and great changes..
