Lady of YeonSung (Lisrene)

Chapter 6

"Everyone, please come over here and have some iced tea."

The princess called out to everyone. Suddenly, Joohyun's eyes met Chaeyoung's. With lively steps, Chaeyoung approached Joohyun and spoke.

"Well, how is your newly-wedded life?"

"Everyone in the family is so nice to me, so it's not difficult for me to lay down my roots here."

Joohyun followed etiquette and answered politely.

"You've saved Duke MoonYeo, so of course they should be kind to you."

"My lord husband is also good to me."

"Hm, you're letting him off too easily."

Princess Chaeyoung came closer and locked her arms with Joohyun's without reserve.

"Don't be like that. You can curse your husband if you want to. That's how you become closer."

The princess's mischievous smile looked absolutely devilish. Joohyun needed to get closer to Chaeyoung. Approaching someone with ulterior motives was a terrible thing to do, but she needed to know. She needed to dig deeper.

Suspecting that the Heukra was actually Chaeyoung, Joohyun cautiously replied.

"Should I? The next time we have a fight, I'll come find you for some advice."

"That's a good idea. My husband and I have had our fair share of fights. Men are quite stupid. No matter what we say, they don't understand, and they only try to run away!"

Princess Chaeyoung rambled happily as she guided Joohyun inside. The other women followed behind in twos and threes, smiling like virtuous beauties.

Do these beautiful women have a bloodthirstiness hidden deep within their hearts as well?

Walking arm in arm, these women were beautiful ladies of the court. Princess Chaeyoung's bright smile didn't show any darkness.

She just looked like a lovable princess, wife, and mother. She might not have been the one who directly carried out these attacks.

Last year, she should have been busy taking care of her newborn child, right?

Joohyun was confused. However, that confusion froze inside her heart when they entered the receiving room.

"So, was Lady Yeon speaking about my mother again?"

As soon as they passed through the doors, the princess's cold voice drilled into Joohyun's ears. She looked at the princess in shock.

"Excuse me?"

Chaeyoung was still smiling, but the beauty in her smile was frozen stiff.

"Lady Dan, do you think this is the first time something like this has happened?"

From the outside, it looked like they were sharing a warm conversation.

"Hiding her mouth behind a fan, glancing at me from the corner of her eyes as she whispers... How would I not know? I've been watching people do this for seven years now."

Chaeyoung tightly grabbed Joohyun's cold hand as she continued to speak.

"And I already know... Everyone is saying that my mother has turned into a vengeful spirit and is going around killing men."

Joohyun was at a loss for words. All she could do was stare at Chaeyoung, completely frozen in her spot. She accidentally stepped on her red skirt and stumbled. Chaeyoung helped Joohyun keep her balance as she whispered.

"My mother isn't that kind of person. While she was a lot younger than my father emperor, she loved him very much. People keep talking about things they haven't seen or heard, and they're not ashamed of doing it. I definitely don't believe anything they say."
