The Fourth Lady was sitting in the courtyard pavilion with Muyan and Yeon, she was waiting, waiting so much that she wanted to wait outside the villa but Yeon stopped her, one of a servant's duties is to maintain the master's dignity, even if the master themselves forgets it.
Zhan was forced to stay with his mother while Lan was studying with Seon, for an adult man nothing is more boring than being among traditional women.
But what was this waiting for? Zhan wanted to know.
Zhan's ears were waiting for every word that came out of their mouths.
Muyan wanted to break the silence: "My Lady, perhaps I have no right to interfere, but you don't have to accept this responsibility yourself, I can find a midwife so you don't have to place him next to the young masters."
Yue gave Muyan a cold look, the message without any words was clear: know your limits, "Thank you for worrying about me, but the Heavenly Demon's order must be carried out in action as well."
The villa's entrance door opened and a guard ran toward the pavilion: "My Lady, the Second Steward has arrived."
"Tell him to come in."
Zhan was watching, the Second Steward, whom he had seen several times before, was now walking toward the pavilion with slow steps, why was he walking slowly?
After getting a little closer, it was clear that the Steward's robe was slightly stretched, a child the same age or younger than Zhan was walking behind the Second Steward, holding onto his robe.
The Fourth Lady paid her respects to the Second Steward, and both of them bowed slightly to each other in respect.
Ling Yue leaned slightly and looked at Geon-ma who was hidden behind the Steward, Yue smiled and Geon-ma hid himself behind the robe.
"Hello Geon-ma, I am Yue, do you want to play with Zhan?"
Zhan just understood his role, in others' eyes it seemed he was kinder and more sociable than Lan, which was why he was brought to the courtyard for the first meeting.
Zhan went behind the Steward and placed his hand on Geon-ma's head while Geon-ma tried to cover himself with the Steward's robe, this scene was unbearably cute for a modern man.
This level of cuteness was ruthless: "What's your name?"
"..."
"Gon."
"Hello Gon, I'm Zhan, let's go introduce you to a few others."
Geon-ma looked at the Steward for confirmation, and the Steward nudged him slightly toward Zhan with his hand.
Zhan took Gon's hand and ran toward the villa, making Gon stumble.
Yue was watching them go toward the villa, she took a few steps closer and stared at the villa entrance, Muyan got a little worried and tried to approach her, but stopped after a moment, the sound of sobbing was faint but audible, Yue, after a brief contact with Geon-ma, doubted her fears. He was left to answer to himself — and what punishment could be greater than that?
Zhan forcefully opened the door to Seon's room.
Lan: "Hey, what is it?"
Zhan gestured toward Gon with both hands: "Ta-da!"
Seon wondered what was so special about another child, but then noticed Lan squeezing that child's cheeks with both hands: "Looks like a dumpling, where did you find him?"
Zhan pushed Lan aside: "He's mine, I found him myself."
Lan wasn't going to back down: "You've finally lost your mind, he's yours only as long as I don't want him."
While the two brothers were arguing, Seon brought out a jar of candy and held it toward Gon, Gon went to Seon like a chick seeing grains, "I think a child should be like this, not like those two."
While Gon was putting candies in his mouth, Seon stroked his head: "Cute cute."
Seon had no intention of separating those two, Seon was also curious after seeing a real child.
