Chapter 38

It was fortunate that I found out before Jeokmoo made his move.

If his plan had been executed, not only would I needlessly fall out of the Leader’s favor, but the Seolsan clan could also be put in danger.

I had to meet Jeokmoo and convey my intention not to return to Seolsan.

“Okxiang.”

Okxiang, who had been waiting outside, returned to the inner part of the residence.

“Could you find out where the person I met earlier is staying?”

“Will you be alright?”

Okxiang looked at me cautiously.

She meant that if I asked her, the story might reach Chung-rin.

Since Chung-rin was the one who had informed me that Jeokmoo came to Cheonsan anyway, it wouldn’t matter if he knew.

When I nodded briefly, Okxiang also understood and moved immediately.

Okxiang didn’t return until half a day had passed.

“Following the traces, it seems Young Master Jeok is staying at Gyeonganru.”

My eyes widened at Okxiang’s whisper. I was surprised by the place where Jeokmoo was staying.

‘No way…, it was that place.’

Now that I knew, it became even clearer.

Jeokmoo must have made a dangerous deal to save me.

If possible, I had to go meet him tonight.

However, unlike before, the Yeomhwa Family’s vigilance had become strict, making it difficult for me to go out directly.

This was because Yeonjo had given special instructions to monitor me.

Still, since I absolutely had to meet Jeokmoo, I planned to go out briefly even if I had to use stealth techniques.

Right after finishing dinner, as I was preparing to go outside, Sawol rushed in and delivered unexpected news.

“Miss! There’s chaos happening right now.”

“What’s going on?”

“The Third Prince is causing a scene with the steward, demanding good liquor and good food.”

It just so happened that Wicheonso had started making a commotion.

It was a good opportunity for me.

“There’s so much to do right now that they’re short-handed, may I go help for a while?”

Sawol asked me cautiously.

Sawol’s eyes were sparkling, perhaps because volunteers received extra pay. Since she was earning money for her family, I shouldn’t let her miss this good opportunity.

“Go ahead. I was thinking of resting a bit early today anyway.”

“Thank you, Miss.”

Sawol expressed her gratitude to me and hurried outside.

In the meantime, I finished preparing to go out with Okxiang’s help.

“Miss, you must be careful.”

“I know. I’m counting on you to watch my back.”

Okxiang decided to stay here to prepare for any contingency.

Fortunately, perhaps thanks to Wicheonso, the watchful eyes had disappeared.

‘Probably everyone’s attention has turned to Wicheonso.’

Expressing gratitude to Wicheonso in my heart, I launched my body into the darkness.
