Cutting off Sinhui’s attempts to help, she glanced meaningfully at the man beside her.
“Brother, you were wrong about this.”
Sinhui said reproachfully, and the man averted his gaze.
“That doesn’t erase the fact that you threw a shoe at me and climbed over the concubines’ quarters wall.”
“That doesn’t matter. I know I’ve caused trouble, and I promise that I’ll take responsibility for my actions. That’s what it means to have honor and courage as a dignified woman.”
Hwayeong lifted her head high, thinking that if this led to her being kicked out, it would be killing two birds with one stone.
Sinhui looked at the man as if urging him to apologize.
Although his pride was bruised, and he was furious and outraged, the man couldn’t argue with the situation being so clearly against him.
After a moment of begrudging silence, he forced himself to mutter an apology with a face full of resentment.
“I... was wrong. I made a huge mistake... I’m sorry for hitting you in the back....”
