SETTING ASIDE THEIR HUMBLE BACKGROUND, HER BROTHER WAS THE REAL ISSUE. TWO FACTIONS WERE FIGHTING FOR THE THRONE. ONE WAS LED BY HER ELDER BROTHER, AND THE OTHER WAS HIS HALF-BROTHER, AND SOHYEON'S OLDER BROTHER, WHO HAD APPOINTED HIMSELF HIS BACKER. SO WHEN HE DECLARED HE WOULD TAKE A WOMAN OF THE UNRANG CLAN AS HIS WIFE... ...HE COULDN'T AVOID HIS BROTHER'S RAGE. YOU CRAZY BASTARD. YOU WANT TO TAKE *WHO* AS YOUR WIFE?! ...MOON GEUKHYUN, HAVE YOU COMPLE- TELY LOST YOUR MIND?! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO THAT FAMILY STANDS BEHIND, OR WHO THEY'RE TRYING TO TEAR DOWN... ARE YOU SAYING THIS WHILE KNOWING ALL THAT?! !!! IF YOU PUT A SWORD IN MY HAND, I WILL SWING IT, AND IF YOU HAND ME A BRUSH, I WILL GRIND THE INK. I WILL BECOME YOUR HANDS AND FEET AND DO WHATEVER DIRTY WORK YOU REQUIRE. JUST GIVE ME THAT WOMAN. ...IF YOU JUST GRANT ME THAT WOMAN. I WILL SURELY PLACE YOU UPON THE THRONE... I BARELY REMEMBER HOW I GOT THROUGH THE WEDDING. BACK THEN... ...IT WAS A VOLATILE TIME, WITH THE FIGHT FOR THE THRONE AT ITS PEAK. TENSIONS RAN SO HIGH THAT SPIES PLANTED BY MY BROTHER ROAMED THE ESTATE. EVEN A RUMOR THAT WE WERE ON GOOD TERMS WOULD DRAW SUSPICION, AND THEN SOHYUN'S SAFETY COULD NOT BE GUARANTEED. TO DECEIVE THE WATCHFUL EYES AROUND US, I BROUGHT IN LADY EUN... ...AND TOOK IN SEVERAL OTHER WOMEN. COMMONER WOMEN, OR THOSE WHOSE FAMILIES WERE FACING RUIN FOR TREASON... TELLING THEM I WOULD SAVE THEIR LIVES AND GUARANTEE THEIR FREEDOM LATER, IF THEY JUST LIVED QUIETLY FOR NOW. I KNEW HOW PATHETIC I WAS AS A MAN. EVEN IF I HAD TO GO TO SUCH LENGTHS... SHE WAS SIMPLY A WOMAN I WANTED TO MAKE MINE. AH, UM... MY LORD... A-ARE YOU... ...NOT GOING OUT TODAY? EVEN SO, TREATING SOMEONE LIKE ME AS HER HUSBAND, SHE APPROACHED ME JUST TO SPEAK A WORD, YET I TURNED HER AWAY EVERY SINGLE HOW COULD A FEW WORDS EVER EXPLAIN THE YEARS ENDURED LIKE THAT? SOMEDAY, WITHOUT FAIL, ...I WOULD TURN HER AROUND AND BEG FOR HER FORGIVENESS. AND I WOULD LAY ALL THE FINEST THINGS IN THE WORLD AT YOUR FEET. I PROMISED TO CHERISH YOU ABOVE ALL ELSE... IF ONLY THIS DREADFUL NIGHTMARE WOULD END... NOT LONG AFTER, CIVIL WAR BROKE OUT. COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS UNTIL I COULD RETURN, ...SLOWLY BUT STEADILY SECURING VICTORY, I WAS COUNTING THE DAYS UNTIL I COULD SEE YOU AGAIN. AND THAT WAS WHEN... ...HE CAME TO FIND ME. I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO SAVE ME! SINCE WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE ANYWAY, ...JUST CONSIDER IT SAVING SOHYUN'S NEPHEW, JUST THIS ONCE! WHY THE HELL ARE YOU BRINGING YOUR WIFE INTO THIS? CUT THE BULLSHIT AND GET OUT. EVEN IF SHE'S A LEGITIMATE WIFE, SHE BELONGS TO HER MAIDEN FAMILY UNTIL SHE BEARS A CHILD! THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OF PLACES WILLING TO TAKE SOHYUN IN. YOU SHOULDN'T TREAT ME LIKE THIS... BROTHER-IN-LAW. THAT CUNNING BASTARD... HELD EVERY SINGLE CARD... ...THAT I COULDN'T POSSIBLY BEAT. ...AT THAT TIME, LADY HONG WAS ALRE- ADY PREGNANT WITH HONG-AH. ...YOU SHOULD HAVE IGNORED HIM. MY BROTHER WAS ALWAYS THAT KIND OF MAN, NEVER SATISFIED EVEN WITH DOZENS OF CONCUBINES, ...BLINDED BY LUST AND LAYING HANDS ON WOMEN EVEN WHEN OUR FAMILY WAS IN DIRE STRAITS, AND AFTER JOINING THE CIVIL WAR, HE STILL SHAMELESSLY CAME TO YOU...! WH-WHY DIDN'T YOU REFUSE HIM TO THE VERY END?! BECAUSE HE THREATENED TO REMARRY YOU OFF TO SOMEONE ELSE. THE IMPERIAL COURT WOULD HAVE JUMPED AT THE CHANCE, AND I WOULD HAVE LOST YOU RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES. DID YOU EXPECT ME TO JUST STAND BY AND WATCH THAT HAPPEN? BESIDES, THE TIMING OF LADY HONG'S PREG- NANCY WAS JUST... ...IF I HAD TAKEN YOU ON OUR FIRST NIGHT, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN CARRYING MY CHILD THEN, TOO. SO... I COULDN'T BRING MYSELF TO TURN HER AWAY. BUT I HAD NO IDEA SHE HAD TAKEN OVER AND WAS ACTING LIKE THE MISTRESS OF THE HOUSE... LEAVING HOUSEHOLD MATTERS TO RUN THEM- SELVES WAS MY MISTAKE. I PLAN TO CAST OUT ALL THE CONCUBINES WITHIN THIS MONTH. ...PLEASE STOP TALKING. SOHYUN. I WANT TO GET DOWN. WHAT MY BROTHER DID IS SHOCKING ENOUGH... ...BUT TO TURN OUT ALL YOUR CONCUBINES? CASTING OUT WOMEN WHO LIVED UNDER THE SAME ROOF WITH NOWHERE LEFT TO GO... IT WAS ALL AGREED UPON WHEN I BROUGHT THEM IN, ...AND I'VE ALREADY ARRANGED FOR THEM TO REMARRY. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A SINGLE THING. IT'S ALL OVER. NOW, NO ONE CAN POINT FINGERS AT YOU AS A TRAITOR'S DAUGHTER, NOR IS THERE ANY PRETEXT TO TAKE YOU FROM ME. I'LL PUT JADE RINGS ON YOUR FINGERS, BUY YOU SILK DRESSES, AND BUILD YOU YOUR OWN INNER QUAR- TERS. THE SON YOU BEAR WILL INHERIT THE ESTATE, /: ...AND ALL MY WEALTH WILL BE YOURS. W-WHY GO TO SUCH LENGTHS...? ...WHY? WH-WHO AM I TO DESERVE ANY OF THIS...? M-MY FAMILY MADE YOU FIGHT AT THE RISK OF YOUR LIFE, ...AND EVEN AFTER WE MARRIED, MY BROTHER DID NOTHING BUT CAUSE TROUBLE... SOHYUN. DARLING... MMPH, I DIDN'T GO THROUGH ALL THAT JUST TO SEE YOU WEEP AND APOLOGIZE... NOW, ALL THE TWO OF US HAVE TO DO... ...IS FOCUS ON EACH OTHER, BECAUSE YOU'RE ALL I CARE ABOUT. ...IT WAS SO WE COULD KISS AND TOUCH TO OUR HEART'S CONTENT, WITHOUT ANY INTER- FERENCE. THE CIVIL WAR, YOUR BROTHER... I'VE FORGOTTEN ALL OF THOSE COMPLICATED MATTERS. FROM NOW ON, WITH YOU... ...ALL I WANT TO DO IS THIS... HMM? MY LOVE. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — Lawful Wife #11](/series/lawful-wife-9dzvkia3/chapter-11-bmqq3u) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/lawful-wife-9dzvkia3 ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
