The True Heir (Repentance of Revenge)
Chapter 9's
Of course, Hyu Jin was very surprised by that. She did not expect Hyu Mei to come to where she was just for the sake of saying unexpected sentences and words.
"What's wrong?"
When Hyu Mei broke the silence, Hyu Jin shook his head.
"Nothing ... Why did you ask me for permission while you could go there any time?"
In the next opportunity, it was seen Hyu Mei who covered her mouth with a fan. Of course, Hyu Jin only responded to that inwardly thinking, (Why does he actually want to come along? I thought he was going to follow his brother who was reluctant to go there?)
Because this was an unusual thing Hyu Jin found out from this sister of his, well ... Hyu Jin could only respond to her curiosity inwardly.

Meanwhile, the village was named Qudong village. People would recognize them as monster nests, regardless of the harvest there which in the news declined drastically.
Apparently the cause of the disaster was the attack of wild animals and flooding.
Previously, Qudong was a village where one of the residents was a majority of workers in the rice fields. So, a portion of the food supply in the Hyu Territory area comes from this area. Qudong on this occasion is like any other village.
However, later before their prestige fell, Qudong got irresponsible action from the village officials there.
The former village chief apparently committed an act of corruption. For some abundant crops and sales from rice fields, then just run away after completing the action.
Miraculously, he managed to eliminate the traces.
This was further compounded by the efforts of some parties to expand the land, as a solution to overcome the vacancy caused by the officials with the intention to increase crop yields.
Which ends in the destruction of the nests of wild animals, and results in flooding when heavy rains hit.
"It looks like the beasts are intent on taking revenge because the residents of Qudong destroyed their homes."
Hyu Jin agreed with Hyu Mei's opinion.
According to Hyu Jin, it is possible that some animals on the bottom of the food chain are extinct.
And that caused the wild beasts who lost their food source to take the target of the rice fields or humans instead.
"Then, isn't this just about driving away the beasts that are targeting the population?" (And in this case who is the real victim and perpetrator?)
Hyu Mei inwardly sighed while looking smilingly looking at Hyu Jin.
"Well, my job is just to be inside the fort and enjoy my vacation. While you're just focusing on your work, please do your best there for the Hyu family's good name."
Hyu Jin inwardly wanted to clump, while Hyu Mei looked delighted when she saw the Qudong village getting closer.
The horse-drawn carriage that had already transported them would stop right in front of the gate that they would see as.
"This is the place? Why do they look like fortresses?"
Since Niu Jingyi had just been silent the entire way, she finally could not help but comment on the condition of the place.
"It seems to ward off the attacks of wild animals."
Hyu Jin replied while closely observing the wooden fortress, before it was seen someone opening the door.
"Are you Mr Hyu who was sent to replace the duties of our village chief?"
However, Hyu Mei who was seen took the opportunity to say.
"True, we are the person in question. And you, deserve to stand like that facing your Master?"
Those words, were so shocking even to Hyu Jin. Hyu Mei arrogantly looked down at the new face before her.
The opening to a relationship just vanished. Simultaneously, the previously standing man immediately knelt down despite being forced to do so.
"Pardon our rudeness, Miss Hyu."
Hyu Mei smiled satisfiedly, "Well, this is true. And should I raise my stuff myself while you're just watching us?"
The man looked at the other person whose eyes Hyu Mei looked at, he immediately sent a signal to the person to obey immediately and brought Hyu Mei and the group into the village.
In the process, Hyu Jin, Niu Jingyi and Hyu Mei were told they would get one room each in the same house.
When they entered, all the attention of the people there was stolen by the appearance of the three.
Sure enough, after some time the conversation ended, the people there immediately looked at Hyu Jin lowly. It was as if feeling dissatisfied and annoyed towards Hyu Mei's previous actions.
But, strangely. Despite being stared at so, Hyu Mei did not feel it.
When the girl looked back at the person who was roughly watching her for a long time, the person immediately lowered his head.
"Do you need help?"
When Hyu Jin wanted to help someone who happened to be picking vegetables in the garden.
"Ah, Young Master need not bother helping us from the commoners. The Young Master just needs to enjoy the life of the Young Master and not take care of our affairs."
Even though her words sounded polite, Hyu Jin felt a sense of hatred from the eyes of that person. The woman immediately left there without even saying anything afterwards.
Ding! [Getting, - 10 Points of Trust. The reason, because the population is not satisfied with the attitude of the Master.]
Ding! [Warning! If the point minus exceeds the number - 100, then there will be a punishment that is rebellion.]
Hyu Jin choked on her own breath.
...----------------...
"Miss Hyu!"
Hyu Mei was enjoying an apple when someone hurriedly came to the front of the house.
Meanwhile, Hyu Jin who had just returned home, saw that someone looked panicked. He asked inwardly, (What is the girl?)
When he saw Hyu Mei who seemed indifferent to the person who called out to him.
"What's wrong?"
Since Hyu Jin saw Hyu Mei was busy enough with her food to the point of ignoring the person's call, Hyu Jin took the initiative to answer her.
"We get an attack from a ferocious beast that leads to the village!"
