Chapter 212: Baekgyobang
Miao Qingzhu, the head of the Miao family, approached his daughter Miao A-ran, who had been waiting in the garden reading a book, and said.
“It turned out just as you predicted this time too. The opinions of both sides have been gathered, and the dispatch personnel have been decided. I, the head of the household, and the head of the wine cellar will be going.”
At her father’s words, Miao A-ran smiled faintly and closed her book.
“I see. It turned out that way. It seems fairly balanced, in its own way.”
Miao A-ran had anticipated this outcome even before the heads met Jin Taedo. She had expected both sides would want to meet Inparang, and that the delegation would likely be decided among those excluding Jin Taedo, Yu Hae-eung, and Oh Ik-deok.
“So you selected three individuals: Lord Sulgaju from the side of the Jin Clan Head, Lord Jagaju from the opposing side, and Father, who is neutral?”
“That’s right, just as you said.”
But Miao A-ran thought to herself that it couldn’t be just that.
Wasn’t Sulgaju the most influential clan leader among Jin Taedo’s faction?
And Lord Jaga was the most lowly and oldest among Jin Taedo’s opponents.
Likely, the status of both men had also been factored into the calculations of both sides.
Having thought that far, Miao A-ran spoke again.
“Well, that’s good news. Since Father is going, I suppose it wouldn’t matter if I went along too?”
