The Most Troublesome Son

Young Love Drama

Queen Im glared at her now oldest son, who was this nation's crown prince. What the hell was he thinking? He said he would take care of and cherish his wife. But what is this? The rumor spread like wildfire about how the crown prince ignored his new wife. She, of course, didn't believe in a bit. She knew how much his son wanted Yoon Cheongha.

She should take care of the rumor when it started. Nip the bud before its blooms. She focused on fighting for justice for her late son and never worried about Yi Kang's relationship as she knew they were in love with each other. She forgot her son's ability to handle emotional matters. She became aware of how ridiculous the rumor was when it was too late.

After she called Yi Kang and his wife to inform them about hapgung she told her son to stay back to scold him a little bit.

"You said you liked the crown princess. Then why--" Queen Im gritted her teeth "did you ignore her?"

She saw her son's downcast expression. His body was tense.

"I'm sorry Eoma-mama." Yi Kang muttered, his dry throat rasping.

There was a moment of silence. Queen Im sighed. She was partially at fault in this. She couldn't blame her son.

"You're lucky that girl loves you very much. If it were me, I wouldn't bother someone who left me alone on my wedding night and then ignored me for the rest of our marriage life, crown prince or not, I don't care. I just go on with my life," her teeth clenched angrily around the words.

Yi Kang winced. His fist clenched.

"So there was a reason why did she tell me that she wanted to get to know you better but didn't know how." She smiled sadly, "You barely met her."

"Eoma-mama, there is a lot of responsibility that I have to attend. After I take care of everything, I would do my duty as a husband. We have a lot of time together, after all, we will spend the rest of our life together." He looked at her with a desperate appeal in his eyes.

"At least you can spend a little time together, making sure your wife fits new life, making sure that she is healthy," said Queen Im with a sharp tone. Her eyes gazed accusingly at her son.

"I did. We met every time we have to greet queen dowager." Yi Kang tried to defend himself.

 Queen Im snorted.

"And how many words did you speak to her?" She challenged her son's logic. The silence from her son was clear enough to answer her question.

Queen Im sighed. Of course, she knew how busy her son was. But that didn't mean her son could ignore his new wife because of it. The rumor was very poisonous. There was no chance the new crown princess didn't know them. It was amazing how her daughter-in-law still faced the world with her head held high and straight back.

"Even busy people have time to eat, or maybe when you take a break, you can spend time with your wife." A quizzical brow arched above her left eye.

"I would Eoma-mama," said Yi Kang. His face was hard.

"Not now, after your hapgung." Queen Im gave an order firmly.

Yi Kang frown. "Why do I have to wait after hapgung?" he asked, a disapproving tone clearly in his voice.

"The nursemaid already prepares your schedule. You just have to follow it."

"Eoma-mama," Yi Kang pleaded "I want to meet the crown princess to explain. The rumor-"

"Were you aware of the rumor before I told you?" Queen Im cut her son's protest with a sharp question.

"Yes. I know, they said we are not in a good relationship. I don't know about the others," said Yi Kang. He clenched her teeth in a grimace.
