| Chapter 105

“Yu-ryeon’s father? Didn’t you say father wasn’t at the family estate at that time?”

At the time, it seemed difficult to ask about and she seemed reluctant to talk about it, so Yoo Eun-hyun, who didn’t pry into such matters, had let it go. But now that the topic had come up, the situation was different.

“Dad hardly ever stays at the family estate to begin with. Mom at least stays at the estate for a month if she’s away for a month, but Dad doesn’t stay even 10 days a year. Most of the time he’s out somewhere.”

“Really? Then it’s natural that I didn’t see him.”

“Well, that’s right.”

Ju Yu-ryeon said that and nodded her head before closing her mouth, looking like her mind was elsewhere or she had a lot on her mind.

It seemed the sudden mention of her father was weighing heavily on her mind, and seeing Ju Yu-ryeon like that, Yeo U-hui spoke up instead.

“I travel around a lot too, so I only see the child’s father once or twice a year.”

“What does he do? Does he do the same work as you, aunt?”

“No… it’s a bit different. To be precise, it’s not family business. The child’s father is a wandering physician who travels all over the world providing medical treatment.”

“A wandering physician?”

“That’s right. There are many places in the world without physicians, and even where they exist, unless it’s a big city, most are only slightly better than quacks. He travels to such places to care for patients and treat illnesses.”

Hearing Ju Yu-ryeon’s words, Yoo Eun-hyun let out an exclamation of admiration. If he was doing this work just to care for patients, it wasn’t something anyone could do, and if so, it was work worthy of respect.

“He sounds like an amazing person? If that’s the case, he must certainly possess incredible medical skills.”

“He is amazing. He actually has a high reputation among martial artists too. The fact that Uiseonsu-ga has become one of the prominent families among the prestigious families is largely due to that reputation along with the family head who symbolizes strength.”

Though Yeo U-hui said that, Ju Yu-ryeon grumbled.

“That’s externally speaking. But he wasn’t a good father to his family. He takes good care of patients throughout the world but hardly cared for his family.”

“You still have a lot of complaints.”

“What complaints? That was only when I was young, now I’m fine. I’m old enough now to be independent from mom and dad so it doesn’t matter, but the one suffering is mom.”

“Suffering gets tiring too. The one thing I want to blame that man for is that you turned out this way because of him. He doesn’t care for his child and keeps leaving home, so the child ended up like this.”

“Hey. What’s wrong with how I am? And mom was often away from home too.”

“I still raised you until you were 6. And until you turned 10, I only went on missions two or three times a year while caring for and educating you. I think I did enough.”

“That’s true. Mom’s problem is that her love is too excessive.”

Ju Yu-ryeon also nodded in agreement with Yeo U-hui’s words. Since the topic came up, Yeo U-hui’s complaints about her husband seemed to surface as she continued speaking.

“But the reason you turned out this way can only be seen as that man not properly caring for you, right?”

“I don’t really mind… If mom says so, then I guess that’s how it is. But it’s too late now. There’s no need to blame him that much.”

“If it were just a stranger or acquaintance, I wouldn’t say anything about past matters. But originally, married couples fight about past things.”

At Yeo U-hui’s words, Ju Yu-ryeon covered her ears and shook her head as if she didn’t want to hear it, and Yoo Eun-hyun watched the two for a moment before asking.

“Then that person… what’s his name?”

“Ju Won-gong.”

“Is Uncle Won-gong supposed to come here?”

If he had arrived earlier, there was no way he wouldn’t be here now or earlier, so thinking he hadn’t arrived yet, Yoo Eun-hyun asked, and Yeo U-hui nodded.

“That’s right. I’ve made contact. He’ll probably arrive soon.”

“Will the Dang Family contact us again before then?”

“Well. I think it depends on when the urgent matter from earlier can be resolved. Of course, since the Dang Family is the one in a hurry, it shouldn’t take too long.”

“Then we’ll have to wait for now.”

“That’s what I’ll do. What are you thinking of doing?”

“Me?”

At Yeo U-hui’s somewhat sudden question, Yoo Eun-hyun couldn’t answer easily. Since he had only just learned about the Red River Poison Incident, it was still difficult to say anything definitive.

“You don’t need to think about it seriously. Even though it’s your maternal family, you and Hwa-seon don’t need to worry about doing something for the family.”

“I also don’t want to get involved in other matters unless there’s a major crisis at my maternal family.”

Though his sense of belonging was vague to begin with, Yoo Eun-hyun didn’t want to just stand by when his maternal family was in danger. To be precise, it was more because of Soo Hwa-seon than the maternal family itself, but blood relations were formed through such individual connections anyway.

“Right. You have your own things to do, so it’s better to focus on those. And you seem to receive excessive attention from both Jeongdo and Mado, so you must have a lot of concerns.”

“That’s true. But what about the Dang Family? It seemed like they were deliberately waiting for me, will it be okay if I’m not there?”

“Eun-hyun, they waited for you because of Dang Ja-seung Gong-ja’s thinking. He seems to evaluate you very highly.”

And Ju Yu-ryeon, who had been listening up to that point, snorted and grumbled.

“Hmph. Mom is also evaluating him excessively. You even spread rumors calling him a beautiful young master, so of course you would.”

“This child. Eun-hyun is handsome enough, what are you saying? You can’t get married because your standards are so high.”

“Mom. Let’s be honest. Even if Eun-hyun doesn’t have an unbearable face, he’s not quite at the level of a beautiful young master. Ah, Eun-hyun. I’m not insulting you, so don’t feel bad.”

Yeo U-hui was just speaking with the warm eyes of someone looking at a friend’s son, but Ju Yu-ryeon was stating facts objectively.

However, what was certain was that in both cases, it was only painful for the person in question, Yoo Eun-hyun.

“Will you stop before I really get upset? You too, aunt.”

And at Yoo Eun-hyun’s words, the mother and daughter looked at each other for a moment and coughed awkwardly, and Yeo U-hui immediately continued speaking.

“Ahem. Anyway, the Dang Family probably naturally thinks you’re from Uiseonsu-ga, so they thought you’d be helpful. And since we have to wait until my husband comes anyway, they decided to wait for you.”

When Yeo U-hui said that, Yoo Eun-hyun couldn’t help but look troubled. It seemed Dang Ja-seung found the events from that time very impressive.

“I also said to wait. No matter what, with Honjakmun and Cheongseong-pa acting up, it was problematic to be alone at that inn, so I needed a safe place to hide, and the Dang Family happened to invite me. If I had known mom was here, I would have hidden and stayed put. Ugh. But well, what can I do about how things turned out.”

“Really? I don’t know medicine or poison arts, so I wouldn’t be much help… Yu-ryeon, what do you want to do?”

“Well. I’m officially on vacation right now. Unless it’s an order from a superior, there’s no particular reason I have to help. Right?”

Though Ju Yu-ryeon had firmly refused at first, she too seemed to be thinking a lot after hearing the situation.

“I’d like to keep Yu-ryeon here even if I have to order it… But since it’s not home and I’ve let her out, it’s better to refrain from major interference. I’ll leave it to your decision.”

When Yeo U-hui said that, Yoo Eun-hyun asked Ju Yu-ryeon again.

“Don’t you need to see your father?”

“I’m not a child, so why would I need to? It’s not like he’s that hard to see… I saw him once this year already.”

“Hmm, really? But even if I wanted to do something, all I can do right now is wait.”

“Didn’t you receive a warning from Cheonmu Alliance? Is that okay?”

“Well, it’s not like I decided to help with the work here. Originally, Cheonmu Alliance only told me not to interfere with the Dang Family’s affairs. That crazy guy from Cheongseong-pa seemed to think that just me going to the Dang Family was interfering.”

“In a way, that’s not wrong either. If you’re here and Jeongdo or Mado attacks, could you really stay still?”

Ju Yu-ryeon asked smugly as if there was no way he could do that, but Yoo Eun-hyun surprisingly didn’t argue much and shook his head.

“Of course I wouldn’t stay still. I’d run away immediately. It would be terrible if I stayed still and got caught up in the fighting.”

“…That’s what you meant?”

“What else could I mean? What help would I be alone? Even that scary grandmother from Ami-pa is frightening, and Cheonmu Alliance is sending experts at the level of Sip-ji? Probably Ma-gyo will send similar people too? Ugh. Just thinking about it is horrible.”

“Ahahaha. That’s true. Certainly, whether you’re here or not, you wouldn’t turn a winning battle into a loss or a losing battle into a win. But still, with your level of ability, you’d be a great help in the battle situation, right?”

“I don’t intend to do that. They’re not attacking me first, so why should I fight?”

When Yoo Eun-hyun firmly drew the line, not only Ju Yu-ryeon but also Yeo U-hui seemed to have expected this and didn’t say anything more, and Ju Yu-ryeon shrugged and asked.

“Then shall we leave right away?”

“What about Won Jik?”

“If necessary, we can go to Honjakmun.”

“In this situation, going to the Mado side might make things worse. Especially for you, Yu-ryeon, even if I’m one thing.”

“Hmm… That’s true. Then what should we do? Give me a clear answer.”

Though Ju Yu-ryeon nodded in agreement with Yoo Eun-hyun’s words, she unusually couldn’t make a decision and spoke as if frustrated, and Yoo Eun-hyun also smiled lightly and nodded.

“Let’s stay for a few days. We’re waiting for Won Jik, and most importantly…”

“Most importantly?”

“I’m curious about what kind of person your father is, so I want to meet him once.”
