Hearing her speak with such resolve, Sinyeong readily agreed.
“Yes, that’s right. Something so ridiculous like this can’t be overlooked. And if your sister hadn’t done that, you wouldn’t have ended up in the consorts’ quarters, would you?”
“Exactly. Ultimately, the root of all this misfortune is Hwajin and the person who started that rumor.”
“If you can’t track them down, I’ll send someone to Hwacheon myself. I’ll find out exactly where that nonsense originated and put an end to it.”
Clearly still seething about being labeled unattractive and ‘ugly’, Sinyeong vowed to get to the bottom of it.
Hwayeong fully supported the idea.
“We shouldn’t just uproot it—we should crush it into dust. They need to understand just how much one careless word can ruin someone’s life.”
“You’re right. Only strict discipline can maintain order.”
“Of course. A grudge should always be repaid tenfold.”
