Chapter 40
“……So.”
The woman took a sip of the rich, aromatic tea and set her cup down, contemplating the ripples in the water before turning to the woman across from her.
“After all, isn’t Mrs. Tang to blame for this mess?”
The woman across from her was none other than Tang Miyan. Tang Miyan shook her head.
“Don’t make me feel so bad. Mrs. Mo Yong.”
The woman called Madame Mo Yong was none other than Mo Yongye, the mother of the Third Duke Namgungal and the third wife of the current Namgung Mu Baek.
Mo Yongye shrugged her shoulders.
“Or else she’d glare at me like that.”
The Sichuan Tang family and Mo Yongxue family, both women of their respective families and both unattached, were jockeying for position in the Yixi River, but a man stood between them.
“It’s true that the patriarch is unusually angry, so don’t do anything about it.”
“It’s true that Mrs. Mo Yong also had an affair with the four elders.”
“Collusion. ……Ha, what a poor choice of words.”
Mo Yongye and Tang Miyan’s gazes clashed in the air. In their intertwined gazes, it was as if they didn’t recognize each other.
And then.
“Hmph, the Third Duke just said that the Spearmaster has just reached the fourth star.”
“Alas, I heard that the Second Duke’s Heavenly Wind Sword Technique is still at the third star.”
This led to comparisons between my children. For them, life as a mother was bigger than life as a woman, and life as an unattended woman was bigger than life as a mother.
