“Brother-in-law. This is crossing the line too much…”

Whoosh.

With a puff of breath, the brother-in-law blew out the oil lamp.

“Oh my, it’s windy, isn’t it?”

After blowing it out himself, what nonsense was he talking about?

He must have felt embarrassed in this situation as well.

However, it wasn’t just one oil lamp that was lit.

Not only was there one in front of the table where food was placed, but also on the small table near the entrance of the room, so it wasn’t very dark.

Instead, it subtly illuminated the skin, hiding imperfections and making only the white parts appear exceptionally white.

“Young master? It’s too ticklish… please hurry…”

Oh, I don’t know.

Bending his hand downwards and towards the center!

Snap!

“Ouch.”

A brief moan. And then…

Smoothly.

The brother-in-law untying the knot of the skirt.

The skirt flowing down, along with the underskirt.

Lying down, revealing round buttocks visible below the chest.

Below, like a sumo wrestler, only the center remained covered.

“If you do this…”

Trying to warn not to cross the line, but looking at me with pitiful eyes while lying down, slightly turning his head.

As if pleading for mercy with those eyes.

‘How hungry must he have been…’

Shiver.

It was still chilly with the spring breeze.

He shivered as if cold.

“Phew, just until we catch the fleas…”

Reaching out both hands, gently caressing both sides of the hips.

“Ugh, ugh.”

With a groan, exerting pressure on both feet, and the hips automatically rising.

Snap.

“Ugh!”

It wasn’t a hard hit, so it shouldn’t hurt, but the buttocks trembled more and the cleft widened.

Snap, snap, snap…

Caressing and hitting, caressing and hitting.

With each hit, the buttocks trembled up and down.

“Hah, hah, hah, hah…”

Thud.

The core falls to the ground.

And something hidden is revealed…

‘Huh. Hair?’

For some reason, there was not a single hair.

Squelch!

This was really hard to endure.

‘Without a razor, how did he manage this? Did he shave after washing with lye water?’

Moist flesh glistened, with a white liquid oozing through.

Thud, thud.

Liquid dripping onto the floor.

“Phew. A flea is crawling.”

Relying on one oil lamp to illuminate the spacious room, what could a small flea possibly be seen for?

Turning his body and reaching out, he grabbed my waistband and untied it.

And without a moment to dry, he pulled down the pants and took hold of my member with his mouth!

“Churrrp! Haaaah.”

I wanted to finish quickly, but the effect of the microtransaction kicked in.

[Your ejaculation control ability is over 100. Would you like to delay ejaculation? (Y/N)]

‘De, delay.’

The brother-in-law was satisfying his desires below.

Leaving him alone, after a while, he made a sound.

“Oh, gently on the buttocks… it seems to have entered the middle, so there too…”

Snap, snap, snap…

Hitting and caressing, hitting and caressing…

Slipping a finger inside, feeling how hot it was in there.

“Master? Shall I put it in?”

“Just use your hand. It’s too risky beyond this.”

The child was diplomatic.

This was far beyond crossing the line.

Although the brother-in-law looked regretful, he just overlapped his fingers and moved vigorously.

Half an hour later.

After fixing his clothes, as the brother-in-law left the room, I said to his back,

“It’s dangerous if you do this often.”

So, don’t come often.

“If you can’t resist, only then. And if you also do it for the master, things might change.”

His oral skills were extraordinary.

“Even the master… dislikes even moans. He says it’s indecent and shameful.”

While he punches in at work every day, he doesn’t even want his wife to make moaning sounds?

Poor guy.

But she was a woman I couldn’t embrace.

Time passed, and May arrived, bringing the annual star market.

After seeing the star market, before the results were out, I raided the brothel once again.

I had spent so much money that I had to raid it again.

This time, instead of Gyeomin’s room, I went around Mana-nim and the concubines’ rooms, wiping the gold dust.

The amount of gold dust seemed to be several times more than before.

With this, I made efforts to meet various people who could help with future success through connections and make my presence known as a country.

Exams were one thing, but obtaining an official position afterward was another, so it was necessary to network.

After the preliminary and secondary exams, the results were announced in August after the final exam, and I proudly rose to the top like the original history.

Although the result was being selected for the top position, I didn’t feel particularly happy since I had undergone rigorous training since childhood, considering passing as a matter of course.

It happened because it was supposed to happen.

If we had been in the same environment, undergoing the same learning process, it would have been difficult to surpass other participants, wouldn’t it?

Even though I was 21 years old, considering the duration, intensity of training, and continuous nutritional support, not being selected for the top position was unusual.

Moreover, for the archery test, the bow and arrows needed to be prepared by the examinee, and a good bow cost as much as a cow.

Arrows also had to be prepared according to the test subjects of wooden arrow, iron arrow, split arrow, and mounted archery, which also incurred costs.

Of course, although I excelled in basic archery, it was acceptable to attribute my success to the power and wealth of the household.

On the evening of the day the results of the civil service examination were announced, my brother praised me greatly, unlike usual.

“You’ve done well.”

“Thank you.”

“Your parents will be very pleased with your success.”

“I suppose so.”

“Hmm. But even though I am the eldest son of the house, Father seems to favor you more.”

“Me?”

Out of the blue, what nonsense is this?

“Did you think I wouldn’t notice how you’ve been spending money like water for the past few months? The money from your pocket isn’t entirely yours, is it?”

“…”

I remained silent.

“Now that you’ve passed the civil service exam, manage your own affairs from now on. Stop squandering the family’s wealth.”

Oh, so as the eldest son, Father wants to manage even your assets?

“Understood.”

There was no need to clarify any misunderstandings.

I did worry about what to say if Father asked why I spent money I supposedly didn’t have.

“Well, things will work out somehow.”

Is there a reason to worry prematurely?

In fact, more important than money was marriage.

Although it hadn’t been mentioned before, having passed the civil service exam, my parents would surely start looking into marriage.

Rumors had already spread about me becoming a successful candidate in the civil service exam, but even after that, there was more to come.

“I wonder if there are already rumors circulating.”

In the original history, Yi Jing-ok married the daughter of Yi Shin-ji, a senior official, and had three sons and a daughter.

“Phew, I want to marry as I please.”

Honestly, I don’t want to do as my parents say without even knowing the person’s face.

To avoid this, while preparing for the civil service exam, I had secretly arranged something.

“What if I want to follow the envoy to Ming?”

“Yes! Won’t there be 5-6 military officials accompanying the envoy?”

Around 250-400 escort soldiers are dispatched from Pyeongan Province, but separately, 5-6 high-ranking military officials also accompany them.

“But you’re still young, and you’re only a junior officer. It’s a bit… for you to go as a military official…”

“In May, I will take the civil service exam and definitely pass it. You can consider me a promising young military official with a bright future, right? This is the price for today’s guidance.”

I offered a hefty sum of gold dust.

It was too much for tuition fees.

The other party burst into uncontrollable laughter, unable to contain a smile that split their lips from side to side.

“Haha. A promising young military official? If I happen to join the envoy, I’ll recommend you.”

Bribery is likely the main reason, but my family background probably played a role as well.

Several military officials had pledged to recommend him.

“If I become part of the Sa Sin Dan and go to Bukgyeong, the marriage issue will naturally have to be postponed.”

It was the best way to delay a marriage that I didn’t want in the first place.

However, this unintentionally brought about the butterfly effect.

I visited my hometown.

It was August when the civil service exam results were announced.

My parents threw a big feast in celebration of my passing, and even people from the poorest lands in Yangsan came as if they were filling their bellies.

Guests kept coming, numbering in the thousands or tens of thousands.

Eventually, we gave up counting.

At one point, my father called me over to discuss potential marriage prospects, but I just nodded silently, letting his words wash over me.

All I wished for was to be included in the Sa Sin Dan.

Upon returning to Hanyang, the good news was that my father had arranged a house for himself to live in alone.

It was independence from my older brother.

As I packed my things to leave my brother’s house, my sister-in-law shed tears endlessly.

“It’s a pity.”

She visited not once a month, but once a week.

Did she want to release pent-up emotions now that there was a place to do so?

Always with words. And I, with actions.

Just that was enough to satisfy her…

Honestly, I hadn’t led her on, so there was no need for apologies. But if this was affection, it didn’t make taking steps forward any easier.
