Invincible Mumu

t illegitimate or adopted children are hated by their step mothers and are not treated as siblings, so they say to not expect any kind of familial love.”

“…”

Yu Yeop-kyung was speechless.

Which book said that?

It was absurd so he looked at Oh Ji-kang who was avoiding his gaze.

‘… it was you.’

The culprit was caught.

Giving such a strange book to a child and causing stress.

He was afraid that Mumu was bored in exile so as a nice man, he would occasionally give him books.

‘Hmm.’

On the other hand, however, it was true.

Will his wife and sons treat Mumu well without prejudice?

The home of Yu Yeop-kyung.

There, a few people were busy preparing something.

The delicious smell which tickled noses was everywhere.

In the yard, a middle-aged woman was leading the preparations, she was Yu Yeop-kyung’s wife, Jang Yeon-hye.

She couldn’t hide her joy at the return of her husband 17 years later.

She wanted to give him a nice welcome home, so she bought a hen and beef to cook for him.

“Now now.
The master is coming soon, so let’s hurry up.”

“Yes.
My lady.”

There was a boy who was looking at her.

The boy looked like a younger version of Yu Yeop-kyung.

It was the second child, Yu Jin-hyuk.

‘Mother…’

He hadn’t seen his mother act like this in a long time.

The first time he saw her like this was when his brother got second position in the academy, and the second time was when he cleared his father’s name.

And this was the third time.

He didn’t dislike the constant laughter.

But now.

‘I don’t feel good for some reason.’

He was just an infant when his father was sent into exile.

So he didn’t even know his face.

He wondered if they would bond when he met his father, whose face he didn’t know.

‘How will I feel when we meet?’

At the same time, he was curious.

Before his brother removed his father’s bad name, he hated the one called his father.

He cursed him every night, wondering what he had done to leave the family and go into exile and for the family to be called a sinner’s family.

But, that was because he was too young.

Now that his older brother cleared his father’s name, he was able to understand things a little.

[Your father is a truly wonderful man.]

[When you meet your father, you will like him too.]

His mother and brother would say such things.

But they couldn’t say what his good points were.

They would speak abstractly, like he was a caring husband and a good father.

‘So a caring husband leaves their home and abandons his children for someone else’s, is that what a good father is?’

No matter how he thought about it, his father looked like a flawed person.

It was then, his mother approached him.

“Jin-hyuk.”

“Mother.”

“What is with that face?”

She saw her son who seemed quieter than usual, she knew how he felt.

To her, Yu Jin-hyuk said,

“I don’t know if I should rejoice or not.”

“Again with that? He’s your father.”

“… yes.
I know.”

‘It doesn’t make sense to say that to me when I don’t even remember his face.’

But he didn’t say that out loud.

His mother, who understood what was going on, hugged her son and said.

“When you see your father, you will fall in love with him.
So, don’t complicate your thoughts with this and that.”

“Then what about the adopted one?”

“Huh?”

Lady Jang’s expression slightly changed at the mention of the adopted one.

She too, was upset to hear that her husband had taken up a child.

There was no woman who wouldn’t find it strange that their exiled husband suddenly started raising a child.

At first, she had all sorts of thoughts.

‘Maybe out of sympathy?’

Since then, all kinds of doubts have arisen.

But they never last long.

She knew that her husband wasn’t the kind to do the things she was thinking about.

She thought that he took the child out of pity.

“Behave.
If it’s true, then that person is this mother’s child and your brother.”

“Haa.”

Yu Jin-hyuk sighed at those words.

His mother was a soft person when it came to his father.

Despite being strict about her kids' education.

“This mother will try to do her best.
So Jin-hyuk, can you do your best too?”

“… I don’t know.
What if that son treats you like a step mother and then treats me harshly because I’m the biological child?”

“What? Jin-hyuk.
How can you think so negatively when nothing has happened at all?”

“… adopted or illegitimate children are always greedy, so it’s said that they need to be strictly educated from the beginning so they don’t look down on us.
I’m afraid that my mother will be hurt because of your nature.”

At those words, Lady Jang asked.

“Where the hell did you hear that from?”

“It was written in a book.”

‘… ahh.’

At those words, she rubbed her forehead.

She wondered where her son had gotten such a book.

And now it was clear.

That was when an old man at the entrance ran towards her.

“L-Lady! The master is back!”
