Chapter 148
The Baengri Clan’s Unwanted Granddaughter
Chapter 148
“How dare you hurt Pyo! Have you lost it?”
And then, following the sound of rushing feet, I heard a voice that shouldn’t have been here.
“What are you talking about?”
Еn̄ŭm̃а̌. i d
It was Baengri Ri. She was with her friends, and Seo Haryeong was at the front of the group.
Ah, I was too preoccupied with talking to the twins... I hadn’t even noticed there was a crowd approaching. It didn’t help that I’d let my guard down completely, because nobody had shown up when this happened the last time.

Baengri Ri pushed Seo Haryeong aside to step forward, frowning. “What? What are you doing, Pyo...? Are you hurt?”
Pyo stopped whimpering to shout, “Can’t you see? That b*tch th-threw a rock at me!”
Baengri Ri’s frown deepened. “A rock?” she asked.
“Yes! That!”
Е̄ǹ u̇ m̌ а
Baengri Pyo pointed at the pebble the size of a bird’s egg stuck in the wet ground.
Baengri Ri looked at me dubiously. “Why would she—?”
“Liar! There’s no way Yeon would have done that!” Seo Haryeong shouted.
Oh, that’s kind of touching.

Baengri Ri glared at Seo Haryeong for interrupting her, while Baengri Pyo shouted, “Stay out of this, Suhyang brat!”
“Ha! What are you talking about, you son of a b*tch?” I stared in shock as Seo Haryeong spat a curse without blinking an eye.

“What? You—!”
I jumped in when I realized a fight was about to break out. “Haryeong! Come over here.”
Seo Haryeong scowled at Baengri Pyo for another moment, then scoffed and came over to stand next to me.
Behind her, I saw Baengri Ri giving Seo Haryeong a dirty look. Why’s she glaring at Seo Haryeong?She’s close with the twins, so isn’t it me she should be glaring at?
Seo Haryeong peeked at me and whispered softly, “It wasn’t you, right Yeon? You didn’t throw that, did you?”
I silently showed her the dirty palm of my hand.

Her eyes widened. “You bastards! What did you do to Yeon?!”
“Pfft.” I bit my lower lip to prevent a laugh from slipping out.
“Who do you think you are, butting in like this?” Baengri Ri shouted. “Outsiders should mind their own business. We’ll take care of it ourselves.”
Seo Haryeong scoffed. “What a load of crap! You ganged up to bully Yeon, and now you’re saying you’ll take care of it yourselves?”
“When did we bully her?!”
“It’s obvious!”

Right when Seo Haryeong and Baengri Ri were about to launch into a fight, a presence approached quickly and shouted, “What is going on?!”
At Baengri Myung’s arrival, Seo Haryeong and Baengri Ri immediately stopped arguing. He looked around, turning pale at the sight of Baengri Pyo. “Pyo! What happened to you? Where did that wound come from?!”

“Myung!” Baengri Pyo grabbed at Baengri Myung and yelled.
Another two people were running toward us from the same direction as Baengri Myung, both just as familiar.
I quickly qi-spoke to them, “Stay where you are.”
The two stopped in their tracks. Yayul watched me with an unreadable look in his eyes, while Namgoong Ryuchung looked mad as a bull.

I smiled reassuringly at them, which only made Namgoong Ryuchung’s expression twist further.
Meanwhile, Baengri Myung was asking, “Ak, Pyo, are you all right? What happened?”
Looking wronged, Soh Wuak yelled, “Pyo and I were taking a walk in the garden when that bi— Baengri Yeon suddenly threw mud at us!”
I couldn’t believe it. I turned away from Namgoong Ryuchung and Yayul and stared at the twins.

“Pyo got hit, a-and there was a rock inside! Myung!”
Soh Wuak grabbed Baengri Myung again, and Baengri Myung looked at me, perplexed. He nodded to Soh Wuak as though telling him not to worry. “Ak, let’s take Pyo to the physician—”

But before he could finish, Baengri Pyo shouted, “No! Make her kneel and apologize to me first! That b*tch did this to me!”
It seemed like his anger had begun to outweigh his pain.
Baengri Myung squeezed his eyes shut for a moment, then turned toward me. With no adults around, he was in charge. If the adults heard about this, Baengri Myung wouldn’t be able to avoid taking responsibility for his inability to keep the situation under control.
“Yeon, is what Ak and Pyo said true?” he asked.
I nodded calmly. “They’re right. I threw it.”
Startled, Seo Haryeong grabbed me.

Baengri Myung was just as shocked. “Why—?!”
“But that was only because they threw it at me first,” I continued plainly. “I only grabbed what was thrown at me and threw it back.”
“Liar!” Soh Wuak shouted. “Myung! She’s lying! You don’t actually believe her, do you?”
Baengri Myung turned toward Baengri Pyo, then turned back and said to me, “...You don’t look like someone who’s had mud thrown at them.”
“That’s because I dodged them all, and Pyo couldn’t. It’s not my fault he’s slow.”
Baengri Pyo’s eyes bulged as he pointed at me. “You—!”

Baengri Myung cut him off. “Do you have proof?”
“Of course.”

“And what is it?”
“Look at their hands. They’ve got to be filthy.”
Baengri Myung looked back at the twins. Baengri Pyo hid his hands and staggered back, while Soh Wuak opened both of his palms and then pointed at Baengri Pyo’s forehead.
“This is from checking Pyo’s forehead!”
Ѐn um а̇. і d
“Yeah!”
Baengri Pyo immediately agreed with his twin, and they both looked at me shamelessly, as if challenging me to refute them this time.
I didn’t say anything, and neither did Baengri Myung.
He was assessing the situation and weighing his options. Finally, he turned to me resolutely and scolded me sternly in a tone that suggested he was showing me mercy. “Yeon, no matter what, you shouldn’t have thrown a rock and injured someone.”

Well, I hadn’t expected much from him to begin with.
I could see Soh Wuak and Baengri Pyo grinning triumphantly. while Yayul was stepping in front of Namgoong Ryuchung, who looked like he was about to explode.

“And mind you, we’re in the middle of celebrating Grandfather’s eightieth birthday right now,” Baengri Myung continued. “You shouldn’t burden the adults with such trouble on a day like today. I’ll speak to them on your behalf, so apologize to the twins.”
At Baengri Myung’s benevolent attitude, Baengri Ri’s friends, as well as everyone who had followed Baengri Myung, nodded along in agreement.
I held my tongue for a moment, then bowed my head and choked out, “...All right. If you say so, I’ll apologize to them.”
“Ha, look at her sniveling!” Baengri Pyo shouted. “It won’t do you any good!”
I wished I could shed real tears, like he said, but I couldn’t without an onion, so all I could do was put on as sad a face as possible. “But I have one question I’d like to ask first.”
“Baengri Yeon.”

Baengri Myung called my name in warning, clearly just wanting this to be over and done with as soon as possible, but I ignored him and called for someone else. “Haryeong.”
Seo Haryeong, who was still fuming at the twins with death in her eyes, turned around in shock at the sound of her name.
“You were the first one on the scene, right? What did you find? Describe what you saw.”
“Huh? Uh... You were standing over there... And the twin young master Baengris were over there, one blubbering and the other screaming.”
I nodded, then looked at Baengri Myung. “Myung, would you take a look at where I’m standing?”
“What on earth are you trying to—” Baengri Myung broke off, seeming to realize what I meant.
Ѐ nü ḿа́
“If I was the one who threw the mud, there should be a puddle of it where I’m standing, but where would I have gotten any to throw?” I tapped on the stone bridge with my feet and then looked up. “...Unless, of course, it was thrown at me first.”
Baengri Myung looked speechless. “Well...”

“You all learned martial arts, so you should know, right?” I addressed the crowd of onlookers. “You can’t help but react reflexively when someone ambushes you from behind. All I did was snatch something flying at me on instinct and throw it back to protect myself. Was I wrong to do that?”
The same people who’d been nodding in agreement with Baengri Myung were now exclaiming and muttering among themselves.
“I think the elder miss Yeon is right. I don’t see any mud around her for her to throw.”
“An ambush? How cowardly!”
Ẽ n̄ ŭ m̂ à
“Besides, who but the person who threw it first would know that there was a rock hidden in the mud? Do you think the Baengri twins planned this from the start?”
“And then they tried to frame her for it?”
Baengri Myung and the twins looked increasingly panicked at the murmurs.
And then, to put the final nail in the coffin, I added, “I trusted you to be fair, Myung...”

Baengri Myung’s face reddened. “I—!” He turned back to the gathered crowd, only to be met with disapproving stares.
Soh Wuak began shouting, clearly unwilling to go down so easily. “That brat is Baengri Yeon’s friend, so she’s obviously going to side with her! How can you believe what she says?”
Ẃёb nо̄vе̇.l̆ Е̊ ň ú m̄ ӓ
“Are you calling me a liar?” Seo Haryeong yelled back.
Realizing Soh Wuak’s intentions, Baengri Pyo then triumphantly shouted, “That’s right, Riri! Baengri Ri came over with that Suhyang brat too, so ask her!”
Before Baengri Myung could say anything in reply, Soh Wuak said to Baengri Ri, “Well, Riri? We’re right, aren’t we?”
“...”
Baengri Ri’s friends who’d come along with her looked like they didn’t know what to say either.
Then Baengri Ri finally opened her mouth. “You two are pathetic.”

“Wh-what?”
“Yeon hasn’t taken a single step since I got here. What, you want me to lie to cover for you? Gross.” She looked disdainfully at the twins and took a step back to distance herself.
I was a bit surprised.
Soh Wuak clenched his jaw, and Baengri Pyo stomped his feet and shouted, “W-what?! Baengri Ri! How could you...?! Liar! You’re lying!”
Nobody else was on his side. The situation was clear as day.
Seo Haryeong mocked them with a sneer. “Might make more sense to think that the Baengri twins just tripped on their own and ate it.”

I could hear one of the onlookers burst out laughing at that, only to get socked by a friend in warning.
