JING ZHE(MAID OF KOOK)
Young master, Second Young Lady is here to see you.
JING ZHE(MAID OF KOOK)
*her face has some worries*
JING ZHE(MAID OF KOOK)
To come at such a time. Young master’s health is not good and is not afraid of catching the cold.
GU YUN(MAID OF KOOK)
*she tugs at jing zhe arm but she also has a worried look*
JEON JUNGKOOK(FIFTH YOUNG MASTER/♎)
* sees it with his eyes and his heart sighs*
The four maids beside him are all personally selected and trained by Jeon Kin and Jeon Furen(madam) and are thus very clever and loyal.
What kind of situation the Jeon family is in, what hidden intentions the Second and Third Household is hiding, he is young and cannot see but his maids are able to guess it out.
Before anything can be said, a young female walks in from outside.
This female is looking just over fifteen or sixteen and is clad in a pale pink daisy patterned dress with a pleated skirt and her hair is combed to a fringed bun.
Her complexion is fair and her brows and eyes are beautifully elegant.
She has a thick vibe of educated appearance and is dignified and decently conducted.
JEON JENNIE(SECOND COUSIN SISTER)
* Upon seeing him, she quickens her steps to the bed and speaks worriedly*
JEON JENNIE(SECOND COUSIN SISTER)
Fifth Younger brother, is your health better?
JEON JENNIE(SECOND COUSIN SISTER)
After knowing that you have fallen into the water, I was worried for a long time but Yu Jiao Courtyard’s people said that you needed to rest and I dare not to disturb.
JEON JENNIE(SECOND COUSIN SISTER)
Hearing that you are awake today, I then dare to come over.
JEON JUNGKOOK(FIFTH YOUNG MASTER/♎)
* looks at the young female in front*
It is Jennie from the Third Household of the Jeon family.
There are two daughters and one ger son from the Jeon family.
Jeon Jisoo is easy-going and magnanimous, Jeon Jennie is famous for her talents and it is only Jeon Jungkook whose disposition is like a wooden block and lack of talent.
The outsiders usually praise him as ‘VIRTUOUS AND QUITE’ but in fact know that there is no merit to it and he is a son that cannot be held in public.
In his past life, before Jungkook was married off, he had the best relationship with Jennie.
Jennie had a gentle temperament and could come out with ideas for Jungkook many times.
It was just that at the beginning Jungkook was unable to see if the intention was good or bad and was blindly grateful to this big sister for her help and dedication.
For Jennie to come this time, it is most likely to be pleading for jisoo.
JEON JENNIE(SECOND COUSIN SISTER)
*As expected, she opens her mouth and says*
JEON JENNIE(SECOND COUSIN SISTER)
Fifth Younger brother, Eldest Sister made a slip and erred and since the matter has come to this point, hoped that Fifth Younger brother would be able to forgive her this time.
JEON JENNIE(SECOND COUSIN SISTER)
Hearing that Fifth brother had a fever, Eldest Sister was so remorseful.
JEON JENNIE(SECOND COUSIN SISTER)
Since Fifth brother’s injuries are better, why not spare the Eldest Sister this time?
JEON JENNIE(SECOND COUSIN SISTER)
She did not deliberately let you make a fool out of yourself in front of His Highness Prince park.
It will still be alright if that sentence is not spoken but she has to mention Prince park in front of Jungkook.
Everyone knows that Prince park is Jungkook’s darling. Jungkook has the temperament to take grievances made onto him but when it comes to Prince park, he will definitely not retreat a step back.
If Prince park is not mentioned, most likely Jungkook will let the matter rest but this time Jennie deliberately mentioned Prince park, if she is not provoking a dispute between him and jisoo, what else can it be?
In the last lifetime it was also the same, he only just woke up when Jennie quickly rushed over to ‘plea’ for Jisoo and this plea made Jungkook agitated.
The person with the usually agreeing nature then accused Jisoo of pushing him into the water in front of Old Furen(ma'am) because of her sweetheart.
But Jisoo did not admit to it and the people around did not see Jisoo pushing Jungkook.
Old Furen(ma'am)had always been biased towards the Second and Third household and naturally gave him a lesson of ‘NOT KNOWING HOW TO CHERISH ONE'S GOOD NAME DUE TO ONE'S YOUNG AGE AND STILL ACCUSE THE ELDER SISTER’ and confined him as punishment.
After this matter was spread to the Imperial Academy, Jungkook became the laughing stock of the students and no longer attended the Imperial Academy.
And much later... He gradually faded out from the circle of the capital’s noble ladies and gers.
To think about it now, his vision had always been confined by these people in the General’s residence who created the illusion of the world.
He had thought that he himself was virtuous and respectable and did not know that in the eyes of the outsiders, he was viewed as weak and ignorant.
He thought that loving Prince park was brave and courageous but did not know that outsiders view him as shameless.
The result of these deliberate teachings had led him to a muddled impression in the beginning.
Although he succeeded in marrying Bogum, he was considered as one who was unable to be presented to the public and when everyone compared him with Mei Furen, they would only say that he was stupid and ignorant.
JEON JUNGKOOK(FIFTH YOUNG MASTER/♎)
(What a stupid past!)
JEON JENNIE(SECOND COUSIN SISTER)
* sees anxiety crossing Jungkook’s forehead and her lips quietly reveal a trace of a smile*
She knows that based on Jungkook’s temperamental, as long as one mentions about park Bo Gum, he would definitely feel rage.
But after waiting for a long time and a reaction is still seen, Jennie looks over suspiciously and sees the Young male looking at her with a smile.
The young male’s face is still very pale and his lips are very dry but his pair of dark eyes is as fresh and full of life as grapes.
Jungkook’s eyes are his best feature. Large doe shaped eyes, ignorant and confused like a just born puppy.
It is just that normally he will look stiff and is not lively.
Now that pair of almond eyes are still round but the expressions in his eyes are very different.
It reveals some cold intentions but not with any feelings. It is not stiff but more like... More like one with a condescending look.
JEON JENNIE(SECOND COUSIN SISTER)
* quivered *
she does not know why but there is a kind of unspeakable panic in her heart.
It seems that the one she is facing is not a stupid and dumb goose but a noble person.
JEON JENNIE(SECOND COUSIN SISTER)
(How would there be such a feeling?)
Of course she would not know that the Jungkook in front is no longer that Jungkook.
The Jungkook in front had experienced the fight for Imperial position, rivalry of favour, loss of favour, mourning of his children and death of his entire clan.
He was in charge of the Inner Palace and had the supreme power over the six palaces, the Empress Jeon of Ming Qi.
She is Frozen for a long time until the young male in front rubbed his forehead and whispers...
JEON JUNGKOOK(FIFTH YOUNG MASTER/♎)
The second Elder Sister’s words are too serious. It was me who fell in myself.
JEON JENNIE(SECOND COUSIN SISTER)
Fifth Younger brother...
Jennie did not expect that Jungkook will say that and is stunned for a moment before she can react.
JEON JENNIE(SECOND COUSIN SISTER)
*shakes her head and says*
JEON JENNIE(SECOND COUSIN SISTER)
Fifth Younger brother must not feel grievance.
JEON JUNGKOOK(FIFTH YOUNG MASTER/♎)
Why would I feel grievance,
JEON JUNGKOOK(FIFTH YOUNG MASTER/♎)
* smiles as he interrupts her words*
JEON JUNGKOOK(FIFTH YOUNG MASTER/♎)
It was only a trifle matter. My head is still feeling dizzy and would like to rest for a while. If there is any other matter, then it would be discussed at Zu Mu’s place.
Words have been said as such and Jennie is unable to say anymore.
Even though she feels strange that Jungkook did not treat her warmly, it is also that Jungkook is made a fool in front of park Bo Gum thus he is not happy about it.
After saying a few more words, Jennie then only left.
After Jennie left, Gu Yun then only said..
GU YUN(MAID OF KOOK)
Our Young master was pushed into the water and almost lost his life. If he is here to plead on behalf of the Eldest Young Lady then just plead.
GU YUN(MAID OF KOOK)
Why does it seem that it was not the case?
Gu Yun is vaguely warning Jungkook that Jennie did not have any good intentions.
JEON JUNGKOOK(FIFTH YOUNG MASTER/♎)
When the sandpiper and clam fight with one another, the fisherman would benefit from it.
JEON JUNGKOOK(FIFTH YOUNG MASTER/♎)
She most likely wants to be that ‘fisherman’
JEON JUNGKOOK(FIFTH YOUNG MASTER/♎)
* he lightly said*
Gu Yun is surprised and happy that Jungkook could finally see the true face of Jennie but could not really understand the meaning behind Jungkook’s words.
She looks up, and sees a cold smile on her Young master’s face and it has an inexplicable sense of awe which make people look up involuntarily.
JEON JUNGKOOK(FIFTH YOUNG MASTER/♎)
* looks at his own fingertips*
Why did Jisoo push him into the water?
It was because he said this sentence at that time,
"During the new year when dad comes back in triumph, I will let dad call the shots and beg for dad to marry me off to His Highness Prince park "
He really says it naively and feels that they are all one family so there is no need for any scruples.
Jeon Kin is a Great General in the Imperial Court and if he is determined to marry his Ger son off, nothing is impossible.
Why would Jennie incite disharmony between him and Jisoo?
Naturally it is because, Jennie also loved Prince park.
In her past life, Jennie and Jisoo only told him at the end of his life that they both loved Bogum for a long time.
Now thinking about it, it has begun to take shape at this moment.
Since both sisters harbour a crush on Bogum, wouldn’t it be a pity if they would not be able to attain their wish this lifetime?
He will definitely let their wishes come true.
JEON JUNGKOOK(FIFTH YOUNG MASTER/♎)
Second and Third Household’s blood debt to the entire Jeon family would be repayable from now onwards. *mutters*
