1242 Words
"Walking into his daughter's residence, he saw her standing at the door, waiting to receive him. 'Appa (father), what brought you here?' Song Jae asked, 'Can't I come and visit my own daughter?' Putting on a fake smile, 'Of course, you can come. It's just that I was shocked by the sudden visit. You've never visited me before.' Putting his hands on his daughter's shoulder, 'I know I haven't been a great father to you and your brother, but I promise to be there for you and him now. I'll try to make up for all the times I wasn't there for you both.'" "Song Jae longed for him to continue treating her with the same indifference he had before, but she couldn't express that to him, fearing he would find it strange. Instead, she forced a smile and said, 'Father, I'm truly happy that you've been thinking about us. Song Jae said while , crying in her father's arms, she knew that these emotions weren't hers, but those of the original host. "She was growing increasingly frustrated. The original host was supposed to be arrogant, yet she was a crybaby who teared up at every small display of kindness. Song Jae despised crying, but now she had no choice, as the original host's spirit still lingered within her body. All she could do was bear with it, after all the body wasn't her's. 'Father, I was about to eat; please join me,' she said. 'Okay, let's eat. I don't need to go to court early today.' As they walked towards the table, Song Sena went to bring another set of plates. "Finishing their meal, Kae how about we take a leisurely walk outside to digest the food we ate, and enjoy the fresh air." "Indeed, Father, i shared the same thought. Song Sena, go and bring me my coat?" Once Song Sena had fetched the coat, Song Jae and Song Myun began their leisurely walk together. 'So tell me Jae, what do you think about your new teacher?'" "Father I'm thoroughly impressed with madam jung. Her teaching style is outstanding, and her patience is remarkable. She's an exceptional educator, and I feel fortunate to have her as my teacher." "Madam Jung and your mother were quite close, you know," Prime Minister Song continued. "Especially during the time your mother was expecting you. They shared a lovely friendship." "She and your mother had an agreement, if you were born a girl, she would take you as her Goddaughter, and if you were a boy, she would take you as her Godson. She had truly wanted to take me as her goddaughter, dad I wonder why it didn't come to pass. Well, an incident occurred at the palace around that time, and she was unable to leave for several years. Before she could finally exit the palace, your mother passed away." "The matter was set aside, but Song Jae, I want you to know that your mother and I weren't a perfect match. I can't disclose the reasons, but I assure you that I never wished for her death, and I had no involvement in it. Okay?" Song Jae knew that her father wasn't responsible for her mother's death, as she had read the novel and understood the truth. Her mother's poor health, combined with Concubine Jin's constant taunts about the prime minister's affection, had worsened the situation. "Father, promise me you won't use my brother and me as pawns for any political marriages. Let us choose our own partners, " Song Jae requested, you cheeky girl trying to escape her father's grasp. He playfully knocked on her head, and they began a lively game of chase. Meanwhile, Song Nari watched in shock as her father displayed uncharacteristic playfulness. Usually, he maintained a strict demeanor, even when showing affection. His rare display of joy and smile surprised her. "He had never shown this playful side before, song nari was consumed by jealousy. Her nails dug into her handkerchief, crumpling it in her grasp. Fearing she might do something reckless if she stayed, she left the scene and headed towards her mother's moon palace. She needed to devise a plan to help her mother regain her father's affection. Upon entering her mother's chambers, she found her seated in front of the mirror, gently combing her hair." "Mother, how can you still find time for this? Father is getting increasingly close to that woman's children. No matter what your father does, I still have the final say in Song Jae's marriage. If your father tries to interfere with my decision, I'll have to bring your grandmother back from the temple. Everyone knows father always listens to her words." "Mother, I hope you're right this time. Song Jae still has an elder brother who's a fourth-grade military official and can assist her. Let's stop discussing them for now. How about I invite the clothes designer to our residence, "...so they can take your measurements and your sister's measurements for the palace event."After all, it's only two weeks away." "Mother, let's not forget to buy my elder sister's dress, as we usually do. Considering Father's current displeasure with you, it's wise to include her." You know there's gossip circulating about elder brother's comments yesterday, don't worry I'll ensure your elder sister has a dress too. Everyone knows Song Jae has no sense of fashion. Okay, then we can invite the tailor tomorrow to take our measurements, or we can simply buy new clothes. After spending time with his daughter today, Song Myun realized his daughter had changed significantly." "Previously, she only knew how to act arrogantly like a peacock. He recalled that Song Jae had requested a change of wardrobe, and when he asked her for the reason, "She replied that her clothes lacked a sense of fashion. As soon as Song Myun returned from the court, he headed directly to the moon palace to meet with Madam Jin." Upon seeing her husband in her room, Madam Jin felt overjoyed." "Madam Jin approached him and helped him undress so he could shower. Once he'd finished, he got dressed and joined Madam Jin on the bed. 'Tomorrow, you need to invite the tailor; Song Jae needs to change her wardrobe.' Madam Jin didn't dare to argue or question him, seeing Madam Jin not opposing him, Song Myun felt happy, and decided to spend the night in her residence. The next morning, madam jin was overjoyed, singing happily as she rewarded all the servants in her Moon palace." "She assumed that after the incident, Song Myun would avoid coming to her room for a while, so when he presented the request, she didn't dare object. However, she seethed with resentment towards Song Jae. Later, after song jae finished her classes, she yearned to venture outside the residence, eager to experience the ancient town's morning atmosphere, which she had yet to see." "Song Sook, let's go shopping today! I'm feeling so bored just staying at home. But we need to get madam's permission first, Don't worry, she won't dare give me trouble now. Come on, let's go!" "She entered the carriage, selecting Song Min and Song Sook to accompany her. Upon arriving at the clothing store, she decided to venture inside, wondering if anything would catch her eye. As she stepped down from the carriage, she saw someone who looked eerily familiar - he resembled someone from her past life."
