Taejonbirok Volume 9 Episode 22
Chapter 57: It’s Not Easy Being a Lazy Person (2)
Coming down the stairs, Wei Yanhui could see the group sitting around the living room area of the accommodation.
"oh?"
As Jin Ye-ran and Wi Yeon-ho came down the stairs, the people's eyes turned to them.
Of course, more eyes were focused on Jin Ye-ran than on Wi Yeon-ho. Isn’t it only natural that a peerless beauty would attract people’s attention more than a man with cloudy eyes and average looks?
The people's gaze was fixed on Jin Ye-ran's face without mercy.
Jin Ye-ran blushed slightly, perhaps feeling uncomfortable with the gazes of those looking at her, and stopped in place, half-hiding her face with her sleeve.
"huh?"
When the person ahead stopped, Wi Yeon-ho asked without thinking.
“Aren’t you going down?”
"……no."
“Hmm?”
Wi Yeon-ho tilted his head, not knowing why Jin Ye-ran had stopped, and then started to go down ahead. Then Jin Ye-ran quietly followed Wi Yeon-ho.
Then, one of those who had been watching the two suddenly stood up and started walking towards Wi Yeon-ho, or more precisely, towards Jin Ye-ran who was following Wi Yeon-ho.
“I never knew there was such a beautiful person in the world.”
“……I’m not that handsome, am I?”
The man looked at Wi Yeon-ho with blank eyes.
“No, I’m not talking to you…….”
"yes?"
When Wi Yeon-ho looked at him with a look that said, 'Then why are you doing this in front of me?', the man waved his hand that was chasing away a fly.
“Move aside.”
“I’m trying to get out of the way, but it looks like you’re the one blocking the way. I need to get down, so could you please step aside?”
The man, realizing that he had been blocking the bottom of the stairs in his haste, stepped aside. As Wi Yeon-ho walked slowly down the open path, Jin Ye-ran followed closely behind.
“Now, just a moment!”
The man called urgently, but Jin Ye-ran followed Wi Yeon-ho without even turning her head as if she didn't hear him.
But Wei Yanho, annoyingly, stopped in his tracks.
“Didn’t you tell me to come here?”
"yes?"
“Didn’t your father tell you to come here?”
"ah……."
Jin Ye-ran looked around, but Wi Jeong-han was nowhere to be seen.
“Where did you go?”
Jin Ye-ran stamped her feet.
It was the first time I had attracted so many men's attention. I often attracted more attention when I was seeing patients, but that was as a doctor.
Although she had no shame as a member of the National Assembly, Jin Ye-ran, as a woman, was not used to the gaze of men.
“Where did you go after calling me?”
Wi Yeon-ho looked around and started walking slowly.
“Hey, where are you going?”
“Since my father is not here, I should go back and lie down quickly.”
“He told me to come here.”
“I know. I know, but it’s beneficial to take a break, even for a little while.”
“Are you going to get in trouble?”
“Hehe, you’re talking about something I don’t know.”
Wi Yeon-ho said with a big smile.
“My father always scolds me. No matter what I do, he scolds me first. So, rather than struggling to avoid getting scolded, it’s wiser to just think of it as getting scolded and take it easy.”
“…….”
Jin Ye-ran's face turned slightly red.
'too bad.'
What would happen to me if I went up here alone? But I couldn't follow this man into his room with all these people watching me.
She often visited Wi Yeon-ho's room, but there was a world of difference between going when no one was looking and going when others were staring.
How could a grown woman do something like that in front of everyone? Jin Ye-ran was so upset that Wi Yeon-ho didn't understand her situation.
But Wei Yanhui had no clue, and the man who spoke to him had even less clue.
“I am Ak Seo-hee of the Shandong Musicians. If it is not rude, may I have the honor of knowing your honorific name?”
“Wow, how rude!”
Jin Ye-ran's face turned red.
“Haha, what’s so wrong with Kang Ho-in revealing his name?”
Of course, compared to the daughters of noble families, the wives of Kangho tended to be more free-spirited. Unlike the wives of the court ladies who could live in seclusion in their own homes, the women of Kangho, who frequently met people while traveling around Kangho, were not afraid to reveal their names.
However, Jin Ye-ran was not someone who could be called a martial artist.
Although she accompanied Wi Jeong-han due to circumstances, she was a member of the National Assembly, not a martial artist. Those who were unaware of these circumstances assumed that the woman in Jeongmu-maeng's quarters was naturally a martial artist.
Something was going wrong.
“I don’t want to talk any more. Okay.”
As Jin Ye-ran suddenly tried to climb up, Ak Seo-hee stretched out her hand to block her.
“What, what is it?”
“Just a moment, my lady.”

Aksuhui opened her mouth, smiling brightly.
“I have revealed my true identity. Then, wouldn’t it be polite to at least reveal where I am from?”
“Why should I do that?”
“Are you ignoring the evil spirits now?”
Jin Ye-ran couldn't understand why the conversation was flowing like this.
It's not like she asked to know. So why should she reveal her origins just because she heard about them?
Kang-ho's slightly different manners were causing misunderstandings.
“Should I do that?”
“No. You don’t have to do that. It’s just…….”
Ak Seo-hee looked at Jin Ye-ran quietly and opened her mouth.
“The wounded honor must be restored somehow.”
It was nothing more than a simple statement, but if you look closely, it was clearly a threat. Jin Ye-ran looked at Wi Yeon-ho with an earnest gaze.
"huh?"
Wi Yeon-ho shrugged his shoulders as if asking why Jin Ye-ran was doing that.
“……Please do something about it.”
“Me?”
"yes."
“What should I do while you two are talking?”
“…….”
Does this sound like a story to you, you clueless human being?
How did I become such a person!
Although her temper was rising, Jin Ye-ran calmly pressed her chest and calmed her down. What she was excited about here was the handshake during the handshake. Isn’t Jin Ye-ran capable of judging the situation to that extent?
'You shouldn't get the Duke of Wei involved for no reason.'
I was so embarrassed that I asked for help, but I could easily have predicted that if a man got involved in this situation, it would turn into a battle of pride.
When a man starts a fight over pride, things get bigger.
'Besides, the above Confucius is a martial artist.'
Shandong Musical Instruments was a famous place that even she had heard of. It was clear that having trouble with such a place was not good for Wei Yanhu.
He couldn't let Wei Yanhu suffer because of him.
Jin Ye-ran, who had made up her mind, opened her mouth with a stern face.
“My name is Jin Ye-ran and I am from Seongsujang.”
It breaks my heart to have to bring up the Holy See that I have already left on my own, but since she has no proper affiliation, I couldn't say anything else.
“What is the true nature of Seongsujang?”
Aksuhui tilted her head as if she had never heard of it.
No, before that, if it was a holy water keeper, it would be a doctor, but why is a doctor here? Surely none of the people who came to participate in the martial arts competition got sick… … .
“What is Jin Ye-ran?”
The voice was filled with surprise.
Aksuhui didn't know, but it seemed like there was someone in the group who knew who Jinyeran was.
“Then, are you saying that you are Assemblywoman Jin, who is called the unknown saint in the martial arts world these days?”
“What, anonymous woman?”
Jin Ye-ran was terrified.
Who the hell came up with such a grand name?
“Oh, no.”
Jin Ye-ran waved both hands and protested fiercely.
“If you are Lady Jin Ye-ran, aren’t you the one who gained fame in the world for treating patients who were involved in bloodshed in Nasan? Isn’t that you?”
“Ah…… It’s true that I’ve treated patients, but I’ve never heard of such a grand name as the Nameless Lady.”
The man smiled broadly.
“When one’s fame begins to spread, one is the only one who doesn’t know about it. It’s nice to meet you. My name is Ho-cheol-san (鎬鐵山) of Cheongryongjang.
“Oh, yes.”
Jin Ye-ran lowered her head without knowing what was going on.
“Hey, Cheolsan, so does that mean this person is an anonymous woman?”
“I think so.”
“Hahaha, I’m so lucky today. I never thought I’d see an anonymous woman here.”
Aksuhui burst into loud laughter.
“It is a great pleasure to meet you. How about it? Would you like to join us today? Please allow me to have the opportunity to meet such a distinguished person and gain insight.”
Jin Ye-ran couldn't do anything but hesitate at Ak Seo-hee's words. Her gaze turned to Wi Yeon-ho, who was yawning as if he was annoyed.
But Wei Yanho still just looked at her with eyes that asked, “Why are you doing that?”
'Don't do it! Don't do it! Leave it alone!'
If a person is lazy, they should at least have some sense! How can someone be lazy and not have any sense?
My heart as a woman who wanted to help others despite my desire to not cause trouble was clashing with mine.
Ho-cheol-san must have noticed her behavior of constantly looking away, so he opened his mouth while quietly looking at Wi Yeon-ho.
“Who are you?”
“Are you getting married by chance?”
“……Wei Yanho?”
"yes."
Ho-cheol-san's face became trembling.
Where on earth did you learn such manners to reveal your identity like that? Isn't it normal to reveal your family lineage as well?
However, whether he knew Ho-cheol-san's feelings or not, Wi Yeon-ho confidently met Ho-cheol-san's gaze as if to say, 'I told you my name, what more do you want?'
“Wei Yanho, Wei Yanho… Are you Wei Shanho’s younger brother?”
"yes."
“Hmm, I heard that Wisanho has a missing younger sibling.”
“I feel like I’ve heard that sound so many times. It’s like the whole world knows I’m missing.”
“Hahaha, that’s only natural. Since Weishanho is such an amazing person, it’s only natural that he would do basic research on his surroundings. And what’s more, there’s even a rumor that your father is wandering the world looking for you, so how much more so.”
“……Oh, really?”
“They even offered a huge bounty.”
Wi Yeon-ho scratched his head.
Just a little while ago, he had been whining that he would never be able to live comfortably because of his brother or father, and upon hearing these words, Wei Yeon-ho's conscience, which was as small as ant droppings, stirred for the first time in a long while.
'I should be filial.'
If you think about it, even though I do bother you and hit you, I never do it with bad intentions.
The same goes for the master.
'No, wait a minute?'
Why is it that those who like you can't be bothered and can't stand to be teased? If you like someone, you should like them just the way they are!
It was a pity.
“Anyway, that’s good. So what is your relationship with Lady Jin here?”
"yes?"
“Are you in a group?”
Wi Yeon-ho answered with a slightly surprised expression.
“It’s not a relationship?”
At that moment, Jin Ye-ran's face began to harden like ice.
At the same time, the air inside the room also became cold.
“Hey, what’s wrong? Why am I cold all of a sudden?”
Wi Yeon-ho acted rashly without knowing anything. There is no cure for the ignorant.
