I WAS WAITING FOR YOUR RETURN. I'M SORRY, I'M QUITE LATE, AREN'T I...? NOT AT ALL. YOU MUST BE EXHAUSTED, SO PLEASE REST WELL. W-WHAT...? WELL, THE TENT AT THE KITE-FL- YING VENUE WAS JUST A TEMPO- RARY SHELTER, SO SOUND CA- RRIES RATHER EASILY... NO WONDER NANNY SEEMED IN SUCH HIGH SPIRITS... ..everyone has found out! That My Lady is so favored... THERE'S NO WAY LADY HONG, WHO CAME RIGHT OUT- SIDE THE TENT, DIDN'T HEAR... IT IS TRULY WONDERFUL TO SEE HIM BEING SO AFFECTIONATE LATELY. SINCE WE ALL SERVE THE SAME HUSBAND, ...AND MY LORD'S HAPPINESS IS HIS WIVES' HAP- PINESS AS WELL. INDEED, DOESN'T HE SEEM IN HIGH SPIRITS LATELY? HE EVEN WENT TO FLY KITES WITH YOUNG MASTER GYEONG THIS MORNING. THEY HAVE SUCH AN AFFECTIONATE FATHER-SON RE- LATIONSHIP. ...SO LADY HONG MUST BE PLEA- SED AS WELL. HE ALWAYS MAKES TIME TO DROP BY AND SEE THE YOUNG MASTERS DESPI- TE HIS BUSY SCHEDULE- BY THE WAY, I HEARD SOME- THING FROM SUBOK. THAT MY LORD TOLD YOUNG MASTER GYEONG ...THAT HE DOESN'T NEED TO PAY HIS MOR- NING RESPECTS ANYMORE... IS THAT REALLY TRUE? MUST YOU FRAME IT LIKE THAT... SPEAKING LIKE THAT COULD EASILY CAUSE MISUNDERSTAN- DING, COULDN'T IT? ...WHEN MY LORD ONLY DID IT BECAUSE HE KNOWS OUR GYEONG LIKES TO SLEEP IN? THAT'S RIGHT, LADY HONG! WHAT PARENT IN THE WORLD WOULDN'T WELCOME THEIR CHILD COMING TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS? LOOK AT TO- DAY-HE WAS AFFECTIONATE ENOUGH TO GO FLYING KITES WITH HIM. THEY SAID IT REALLY LOOKED LIKE HE WAS DRAWING A LINE, ...RIGHT AROUND THE TIME HE STARTED VISITING MY LADY... A MAN'S FAVOR IS LIKE A CANDLE IN THE WIND, ISN'T IT? PEOPLE WHO WATCH MY LORD'S EVERY MOVE... ...COULDN'T FAIL TO NOTICE. THEY USED TO TREAT MY LADY LIKE A SIDELINED WOMAN, BUT NOW THAT MY LORD IS UT- TERLY DEVOTED TO HER, THEY'RE TAKING HER SIDE LATE IN THE GAME TO MAKE UP FOR IT. HOWEVER, THE REASON THEY CAN'T EASILY CROSS LADY HONG... FEELINGS MAY FLIC- KER IN THE WIND, BUT BLOODLINES DON'T SWAY SO EASILY. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW DEEPLY MY LORD ADORES OUR GYEONG AND HONG-AH! AFTER ALL, THEY ARE HIS ONLY TWO CHILDREN. HAS MY LORD NOT MENTIONED IT TO MY LADY? HE PRAISED GYEONG SO MUCH, SAYING HOW INTELLIGENT HE IS. DON'T YOU THINK SO AS WELL, MY LADY? WH-WHAT? THAT SOMEDAY... ...THIS HOUSE- HOLD WILL BE PASSED DOWN TO GYEONG, THE ELDEST. L-LADY HONG... THAT KIND OF TALK... AND OUR HONG-AH WILL INHERIT HIS FA- THER'S SWORDS- MANSHIP... ...TO BECOME A GENERAL SER- VING HIS MAJES- TY, JUST LIKE MY LORD. LIKE YOU SAID, A MAN'S FAVOR IS LIKE A CANDLE IN THE WIND, ISN'T IT? AND THE WIND BLOWS EQUALLY FOR EVERYONE! LADY HONG! HOW COULD YOU SPEAK OF AN HEIR... HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE A SERVANT INTE- RRUPT HER SU- PERIORS? IS THAT HOW MY LADY DISCIPLI- NED YOU? STOP... I-I... PLEASE STOP... N... NANNY WAS OUT OF LINE. THE SEEDS OF ANXIETY I TRIED SO HARD TO IGNORE... ...FEEL AS IF THEY'VE BEEN GOUGED OPEN. SINCE HE SUDDENLY CHAN- GED HIS MIND AFTER FOUR YEARS... ...IT WOULDN'T BE SUR- PRISING IF HIS INTEREST COOLED JUST AS SUDDEN- LY, WOULD IT? HOWEVER. HOWEVER, LADY HONG... IT SEEMS YOU, TOO, OUGHT TO MIND YOUR TONGUE BEFORE YOUR SUPERIOR. MY HUSBAND TOLD ME... ...THAT I AM HIS LEGAL WIFE. MY, YOU MISUN- DERSTAND... I MEANT NO DIS- RESPECT TO MY LADY. HOWEVER, WAS IT NOT BECAUSE OF THE REBELLION RAISED BY THE UN CLAN... ...THAT MY LORD HAD TO RISK HIS LIFE FIGHTING ON THE BATTLEFIELD? SURELY MY LORD HIMSELF WOULD WORRY ABOUT CONTINUING THE BLOODLINE OF TRAITORS. FOR THE SAKE OF THE FAMILY, SHOULDN'T A PROPER WIFE DO HER PART TO ELIMINATE SUCH TROUBLES? M-MY LADY! THIS IS ALL... ...FOR YOUR OWN GOOD- NOT A SINGLE ONE OF YOU STE- PPED IN TO STOP THIS. !!! HAVE YOU ALL LOST YOUR MINDS?! M-MY LORD! TH-THAT'S NOT... N-NO! FORGIVE ME! I... I SPOKE OUT OF TURN! I WOULD NEVER THINK SUCH A THING! HUSBAND... DO NOT INTERFERE. LADY HONG, GET UP. HAVE YOU FOR- GOTTEN THE PROMISE MADE WHEN I FIRST TOOK YOU IN? BEHAVING LIKE THIS IS NO DI- FFERENT FROM BREAKING THAT OATH. IF SHE WON'T LEAVE ON HER OWN TWO FEET, DRAG HER OUT. MY LORD... I WAS WRONG! MY LORD! MY LORD!! THIS FARCE IS OVER. CLEAN ALL OF THIS UP. EMPTY OUT THE INNER QUARTERS WHERE LADY HONG STAYED BY THE END OF THE DAY. Y-YES, MY LORD! ISOLATE HER SOMEWHERE SAFE SO SHE CAN'T USE THE CHILDREN TO DO ANYTHING FOOLISH. AH!!... HUSBAND... PLEASE PUT ME DOWN! IT'S ALRIGHT. I WON'T DROP YOU. THAT'S NOT WHY...! THEN WHY? I-I'M FURIOUS AS WELL, BUT YOUNG MASTER GYEONG IS YOUR OWN FLESH AND BLOOD... L-LADY HONG IS HIS BIOLOGICAL MOTHER, AND... SO NOTHING GOOD WILL COME OF TREATING HER LIKE THIS... SOHYUN. GYEONG AND HONG-AH ARE NOT MY CHIL- DREN. PARDON...? THEY'RE YOUR NEPHEWS. YOUR BROTHER'S CHILDREN. I THINK... ...THE TIME HAS COME TO TELL YOU. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — Lawful Wife #10](/series/lawful-wife-9dzvkia3/chapter-10-4f6uph) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/lawful-wife-9dzvkia3 ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
