"My Lady; The Lady Min only does great care for your son when she hears that The Young Master Nam is around, but she ignores your son's needs otherwise. As nursemaids, we have to produce a low-sodium diet to produce good breast milk, but no-one keeps this in mind since she also ignores us after taking us from your care. So she makes your son consume sedatives when he cries for you, which will greatly damage his health at such a young age." "But what can I do? I am seldom allowed to visit my own baby when I ask for visitations, and she takes great offence, saying that I should trust her or she will vent out her anger towards my own son. But The Young Master Nam is incredibly busy and Seo Yeon hasn't done anything yet…" "My Lady, look! She is approaching us now!"
"Peace be to you…." "Seo Yeon! Please tell me that you have some good news for me!" "My Lady, let us talk in your chambers whilst The Lady Min has been summoned to the palace." "Very well, please come along with me where I shall treat you to some tea." "I heard that you experienced a rather difficult and dangerous labour, which is something that one simply cannot forget overtime." "Any suffering that my son has gouges at my heart, how I wish that I could suffer for him in return." "I understand and I wish to apologise to you; the only reason why your brother-in-law hasn't taken any action until now is that The Lady Min could always rely on her sister to enforce her rules, so we have had to wait for her to be in a precarious situation to make sure that she cannot help The Lady Min when my fiancé takes her down once and for all. And the Lady Min isn't that reckless to physically harm a baby as she is trying to show off her false material side to my husband." "So what do you need from me?" "As much information as you can possibly give to me to knock down any of the sisters so that we can take down both at the same time." "The very last thing that I remember from the palace was a maid being drowned in the well outside of The Third Princess Consort's residence before she was detained. But the ironic thing was that the maid was ordering around the ex-Mistress Han quite a lot and torturing her on The Third Princess Consort's behalf. And I know for a fact that she grew up near the water, so she knew how to swim and how to prevent herself from drowning." "Is that so, so I guess the business of the brothel where I was kidnapped will also be concluded as soon as The Emperor regains conciseness?" "I think so. The Young Master Nam will make of it due to his heart always being with you, as if his soul has no home without you. Unlike myself who is not expected to gain any attention from anyone at all now. But it isn't a concern for me, as long as my son is safe and sound."
"If a child isn't cherished during their childhoods, what will their futures bring? It is The Lady Min who is being ruthless in her desperation to use your child to gain favour and pretend to have material instincts, he must be suffering so much right now." "As a mother and seeing your own child suffer; it hurts more than you can possibly imagine. But without her so-called favour, I would have been invisible again and lost my will to live a long time ago ever since my husband's death and I no longer have the strength to act against her." "The Lady Min must have been jealous of your favour from The Third Prince and how she legally escaped from the palace, unlike The Lady Min herself. She must have been impatient to cut off your wings and is not afraid of an investigation since she is still acting like she has some sort of power and we are all beneath her, so snatching a child doesn't mean anything to her at all."
"What else do you know?" "That both husband and wife were bribing ministers to be on their side, the same ones that my husband humiliated to make profit in return." "She passed off names to her husband to build up his power, and female Royal Family Members are not allowed to influence official appointments in the palace court. And they were going to form a faction to serve The Third Prince, but they only lacked a child and now her sister has stolen yours. A mother's status impacts a child's future and vice versa', and this all they need." "She has also been asking about your activities here non-stop." "And I can only imagine that such an intelligent woman such as yourself would have come up with answers of your own, specially if she is also aiding your survival here without your husband." "Har family rank is still superior to my own, even if they practically do not exist anymore. And I want a peaceful life without any risks at all, for the sake of my son at least." "You possess a keen mind and intellect that I have yet to come across in anyone else before; you should know when to advance and when to withdraw. But we should also use her same methods against her; how does she feel abut her sister's temporary reinstatement?" "She is half elated and half scared of loosing favour once again, that is why she is persistent in her chase of your fiancé even more than ever, so much so that sh isn't weary of you at all." "So she hasn't learnt her lesson yet at all?"
********************************
"…I saw that my nephew is not a playful as before and he is sleeping far too much. If you are incapable of looking after him, you had better return him to his mother…" "Young Master…" "…as quickly as you can so that I can register him under my family name, since he will be my responsibility from now on." "I entreat your forgiveness in my failure to look after him, and I only intend to do so after he recovers from his plague-like symptoms. His mother is also unwell, so she sen him to me in my care." "Seo Yeon is a more appropriate choice to look after the children…" "and with what experience in childcare does she have that is superior to mine?" "Since she looks after the brothel children for years quite meticulously, that is the experience that she has over you." "Well I am afraid that it will weaken the mother's help if I send him back to her right now, and he was crying a lot today so it is only normal that he is in a deep sleep right now, that is why I am exhausted myself. How do you like the food?" "It is far too greasy for my taste, servant! Ask Seo Yeon to bring me over some soup before bed!" "Young Master, you agreed to spend the night in my chambers, remember? In exchange for visiting your nephew?" "I shall stay in he side chambers tonight, as a gentleman should…" "the noises that come out of her chambers late at night are anything but what a gentlemen should do, as you well know." "I am free to play in my free time whenever I can, what can I say?" "Why? When you clearly know her bother and the Royals will not agree to your marriage with her, then why do you still try? Why do you always go back to her? She is just an illusion that seduced you…!" "Because I always get what I want, no matter how hard I work for it, whether it is power or a woman. Even if I have to wait 3, 13 or even 30 years, I will still attain what I wish to get my hands on, regardless of what it will cost me." "I knew that you were persistent, but not so much that it borders on obsession! Even when I am right here in front of you and you won't even cast me a single glance!" "You can thank my father for that, for taking away almost everything that I hold dear in this life, so of course I am protective over what I have, even if my body is broken and bloody, I will never let go of what is mine."
"Seon-Ho?" "Just in time wife, come in and serve me in that pretty dress of yours…" I walked out of my own dining hall as soon as that orphaned slut barged in without my permission and started to serve my own finance right in front of me. I waited for him in the chambers that I set up for him for hours until I finally had a servant update me with wha was going on.
"…The Young Master Nam returned to The Young Mistress Seo's chambers last night after retrieving his nephew personally. He has a rather keen eye for beauty and greatly appreciates her…" "I practically sent him off to bed with another woman last night with my own hands and words; how I wish that the would comeback and complain about her to me, but I have a feeling that he won't do that even if I beg him on my knees. I am begging to envy her, I really do; in terms of looks and background, how am I inferior to Seo Yeon at all? But Nam Seon-Ho still openly refuses our marriage just for her casing me to become a laughing stock no matter where I end up, and I simply cannot accept this and I won't. Her actions with him alone are licentious as she keeps selling herself to him every single night. No, her brother needs to know about this and I need to move back in the palace to fight for my rightful position once and for all, for that is the only way I can hope to separate this so-called couple once and for all now and I shall never hear this girls name ever again in my entire life. Myself and Nam Seon-Ho belongs in the palace whilst she can be our servant for all that I care."
