01x10 - Episode 10

[bunniefuu]

How dare…

How could you do this?

What is going on here?

Are you all right, Madam Oh?

Please wake up.

Madam!

Did you say, "guard my husband's grave"?

Why?

Do you not want to?

No, Father. It was just so sudden.

I heard the noblewomen have been arguing

about who will get

the virtuous women's gate.

I thought it was simply

a matter of jealousy

and was not going to get involved.

But after seeing your mother-in-law

having such a hard time,

I can no longer remain indifferent.

But if I suddenly leave

to guard my husband's grave,

who will look after Mother

in her weakened--

I will take care of that, so do not worry.

Focus on fulfilling your duty.

He is trying to prevent me

from finding out anything more.

Why are you not answering me?

My lord.

Could you please come outside?

What is the matter?

Captain Hwang of the Capital Guard

is asking to see you.

At this late hour?

I am Captain Hwang Chi-dal.

I apologize for my late visit.

An incident has occurred in the capital,

so we are securing the neighborhood.

An incident?

What happened?

A suspicious man broke

into the finance minister's home.

Madam Oh was almost m*rder*d.

What?

We are searching for the culprit,

but as it is a serious matter--

Head inside now, Yeo-hwa.

Yes, Father.

We, the Capital Guard,

are always doing our best

to ensure the safety

-of the royal court…

-Did you try to have Madam Oh k*lled?

Father.

Is this truly your doing?

So, did you catch the assailant?

Pardon?

Well…

We lost him.

Did anyone see him?

I did.

You saw him yourself?

Yes.

It was too dark to get a good look at him,

but Madam Oh would have seen

the face of the assailant.

We will identify him

as soon as she wakes up.

Is that so?

It is a relief to hear

that we can catch him.

We will guard the homes

of every minister in the capital.

We will make sure

that not even a single ant gets through.

Your home will be guarded

with extra care, Lord Seok.

Do not worry, and have a good night.

Thank you.

I appreciate your hard work.

I will take another look around,

just in case.

Yes. Remember to be thorough.

Leave no stone unturned.

Summon the defense minister at once.

Yes, my lord.

You have complicated things, after all.

There are soldiers all over the place,

so tell the lady

not to come out in her mask.

Who tried to k*ll Madam Oh?

I believe it was Kang Pil-jik.

Father has ordered me

to go and guard my husband's grave.

Please find a way for me

to get to Myeongdo Inn.

Start packing up all of our gold.

Pardon?

I will leave for Gaegyeong…

No, I will go to Qing.

Why are you running

when you were not caught in the act?

Do you think I am running

from the Capital Guard?

I failed my mission,

so Lord Seok will not spare me.

Do not worry.

You are his weapon.

He will not discard you.

Getting a new weapon is nothing to him.

Hurry! Regardless of who catches us,

we are truly done for this time.

Yes, sir.

Can she really get out that way?

Do not worry.

She will have no problem getting out.

Trouble is brewing in the capital.

I will not ask for details

about what you are doing.

However,

what you and my lady are doing

is dangerous, is it not?

It seems likely.

You are always with Lady Cho,

so you could also be in danger.

You must be even more careful from now on.

I am

so worried.

Do not worry in advance.

Lady Cho will be fine.

After all, she has someone like you

by her side,

protecting and worrying for her.

You see…

Is there anything more you wish to say?

I am

also worried about you, sir.

Please be careful.

What are you two doing

in such a secluded place?

Why did you ask us all to gather?

I wish to talk about my father-in-law.

I will share the details

when we meet with everyone else.

Very well.

By the way, I've been curious

about something for a while.

May I ask you something?

Yes.

It is about my brother.

What is your relationship

with my brother?

What do you mean?

Siblings, friends, lovers,

spouses, parent or child.

I am asking how you would

categorize your relationship.

If I must give an answer,

I will say we're friends.

Friendship between a man and woman?

Is that even possible

in this nation of Joseon?

Do I look like a woman to you right now?

Then, let me ask you this.

What were you talking about

with Yeon-seon so sweetly earlier?

What were a man and woman doing

in such a secluded place?

I did not expect this

from Lord Seok's daughter-in-law.

Though you two are not blood-related,

you and Superintendent Park

act exactly alike.

Royal Advisor Park.

Hello, Bi-chan.

Where are you going

while Bukchon is in such disorder?

I have not seen you before.

Are you a new recruit?

Superintendent Park told me

to escort the royal advisor.

What? But that is such an important task.

Yes. I personally asked him to escort me,

so we were on our way.

You asked for him?

Su-h* seemed to be

desperately looking for you earlier.

Really?

Where is he now?

-He said to come to the Capital Guard.

-Yes, sir.

See you around, newbie.

That outfit suits you quite well.

-Let's go.

-Yes, sir.

-Where are you going in such a hurry?

-Boss.

Lord Seok has already blocked off

every mountain path and sea route.

Getting past us would

not make any difference.

Why must you guard your husband's grave?

A suspicious man has appeared in Bukchon,

but is that what you are worried about?

My father-in-law must have felt

quite concerned.

A single fabricated note

made him send me to my husband's grave.

Also, the suspicious man is Kang Pil-jik.

The fact that I was suddenly told

to guard my husband's grave

and the attempted m*rder of Madam Oh

does not seem like a coincidence.

So,

must you go?

Su-h*.

This would be for the best.

I have been thinking of a way

to send Lady Cho to Qing.

Now seems like the perfect opportunity.

What are you talking about?

Absolutely not.

Do you truly think

Lady Cho would go to Qing now?

Pull yourself together.

I am not going anywhere.

So, how about you think of a way

to keep me from going away?

-Do you mean us?

-Do you mean us?

My father-in-law's desire to send me away

seems to be connected to all of this.

Who would be better suited than me

to find out why?

-Well…

-Seeing what happened to Madam Oh,

I think he planned to have me k*lled

on the way to my husband's grave.

Then, Madam Oh and I would become

proud widows who took their lives

to follow their husbands.

That will never happen,

so do not look at me like that.

Did you find anything related to Madam Oh

while investigating Kang Pil-jik?

It seems they embezzled relief grains,

but we are still investigating.

Relief grains, you say?

Are you saying they stole

from those pitiful people

who could only afford

to get watery porridge?

I guess the lives of the common people

were of no importance to them.

Isn't that why you went around

wearing a mask every night?

First things first.

I will handle Madam Oh.

Then, I will look more into Kang Pil-jik.

Then, what should I do?

Brother.

You can think of a way

for Lady Cho to stay.

-Who, me?

-You are this nation's royal advisor.

Well, that was sudden.

That is a good idea.

Please do so.

Wait a minute.

That seems like the most difficult task.

Thank you in advance.

Wait, but…

Let me think.

Please get home safely.

I have something to ask you,

Head Guildmaster.

Can we talk for a moment?

I also have something to ask you.

What great timing.

Let's go.

You said you had something to say.

If you must go

to guard your husband's grave,

there must be another way

to stay in the capital and not go to Qing.

Should I dress up as a man like this

and join the Capital Guard as an officer?

-That is not a bad idea.

-Please, sir.

Royal Advisor Park asked me a question.

My brother did?

He asked me what our relationship is.

You and I

cannot be in any relationship.

Even if the day comes

when I am no longer

Lord Seok's daughter-in-law.

-Lady Cho.

-Exactly.

"Lady Cho."

That is what you call me.

That is because I am someone else's wife.

That is why

we cannot and should not

be in any relationship.

We are only two people

who share the same fate

and goal of resolving this matter.

So,

I do not want anyone to get

the wrong idea about us from now on.

Yes, my lady.

I understand what you are trying to say.

But I do not think

anyone misinterpreted our relationship.

I will not cause you any trouble.

I promise you, my lady.

I cannot believe I can feed you again.

Here.

Why are you crying again

when you cried all night?

I am sorry.

I simply cannot keep myself together.

That is enough.

If you keep crying,

a tiger will snatch you up with a…

You are too old for that now, Jae-i.

I will at least go

and bring your favorite gamju.

GAMJU: A BEVERAGE MADE

WITH MALT AND RICE

I will stay right here.

All right.

Eat up now, and then we will go home.

Your father will be so happy to see you.

Did Father search for me a lot?

Of course, he did.

He went all across the nation

desperately searching for you.

The heavens must have felt our sincerity.

Your wife

also prayed with her whole heart and soul.

She is a truly modest and kind woman.

She is so well-mannered.

Oh, no…

What on earth are you doing?

Why are you suddenly crying out?

I must do whatever I can to buy time.

-Oh, no…

-May I come in?

Oh, no…

I told you to prepare

to leave for my son's grave.

Why are you crying so loudly?

Are you thinking of not going?

No, Father.

I would not dare

to go against your command.

It is just that my husband appeared

in my dream last night.

He cried sadly, saying he would

be alone in the shrine if I left.

I could not bring myself to leave.

I see.

Your mother-in-law and I have seen you

for a long time,

so we know how you feel about Jeong.

That is why I am sure you will make

the right choice for Jeong and our family.

Someone will come in three days

to take you to his grave.

-But, Father--

-Be ready by then.

MEMORIAL TABLET OF YEO-HWA'S

HUSBAND AND SEOK JI-SEONG'S SON

It seems that he will no longer

hide his true colors from me.

It seems I must find

a way to stop Lady Cho

from going to her husband's grave.

Out of everything,

were you only given such a small task?

It is actually the most difficult task.

My mother has been curious

about Lord Seok's daughter-in-law.

If I ask her to arrange a meeting,

that will buy some time.

Your generosity is boundless.

Here comes a man whom I find difficult

to give my generosity to.

Your Majesty.

There is something I must tell you.

Then, let us go to the royal palace.

What is all of this?

It is the amount of grains

the queen dowager took for relief efforts

and the amount the poor actually received

over the past ten years.

How could this be?

After the former king passed away,

the queen dowager greatly contributed

to helping Your Majesty

to be called a sage king by the people.

But if the people discovered

that she embezzled relief grains--

Left Councilor.

You should watch your words.

It will be an even bigger problem

if the royal court ministers find out.

They may even…

discuss dethroning the queen dowager.

How is this my mother's responsibility?

This was Madam Oh's doing.

Were you already aware that Madam Oh

was doing such a thing?

Will the royal court believe

that a mere minister's wife

committed such acts

without the queen dowager's order?

My mother is

an elder of the royal family

who has spent her life

governing the women of the internal court.

She has gracefully maintained

her position all this time,

so I will not just sit back and do nothing

if she is framed

for something she clearly did not do.

That is exactly what I mean, Your Majesty.

As long as you do nothing,

you can peacefully stay on the throne

as the king of this nation.

But, due to Your Majesty's rash behavior,

everyone is on the verge

of losing their places.

Madam Oh brazenly colluded

with lowly outlaws

to fulfill her own selfish interests.

Last night's unpleasant incident was

likely the result of a personal grudge.

Thus,

the queen dowager

must no longer cover for Madam Oh.

Now,

I will trust that you have

taken my words to heart.

Please excuse me, Your Majesty.

Madam Oh.

You are awake.

What happened?

The superintendent

of the Capital Guard saved you.

What about the man?

Was he caught?

They have not caught him yet.

The Capital Guard

is standing guard outside.

Also,

the guildmaster of the Hwayeon guild

is waiting for you.

She has something important to tell you.

What does she have to tell me?

I truly hope everything goes as planned.

Do not worry too much.

Lady Cho and the guild will be fine.

Where is Lady Jang So-un?

She is the head guildmaster

at the Hwayeon merchant guild.

Who are you?

She only acted on my behalf.

I am the true owner of the guild.

Why should I believe you?

Is this not enough to convince you?

This?

That is merely a seal.

This does not prove anything.

I have come to know many things

while owning a merchant guild.

How about this?

The connection between

the finance minister's painting

and the Pil guild.

I speak of your relation to Kang Pil-jik

and the nature of the petals

in the bar of that painting.

My position as the guildmaster

easily allows me

to obtain such information.

Who are you?

Are you here

under Lord Seok's orders?

I am the left councilor's daughter-in-law

and Cho Seong-hu's sister, Cho Yeo-hwa.

Lady Cho? But how…

I do not know why you gave me that bait,

but it seems you wrongly assumed

that I would be an easy catch.

I cannot believe this.

All this time,

you had everyone completely fooled.

It is still too soon to say that.

I know many things about you,

but you know far less about me, Madam.

Why have you come to see me?

I need you to become my bait.

As you know,

I have spent 15 years being deceived

by my father-in-law.

Now that I know everything,

I cannot stand by and do nothing.

You know everything, you say?

So if you help me,

I will find you a way to live.

Do you think I will help you?

You have no other options, do you?

Who knows who could come

to strangle you tomorrow?

My father-in-law has never given up

once he set his mind to something.

Send me a message

once you make up your mind.

If I do not hear from you for three days,

I will assume you rejected my offer.

What do you need me to do?

I will tell you that

after you have decided.

You say you know everything.

Does that mean you know everything

about what happened to your brother?

Of course.

Is that so?

My lady.

How did it go?

I am sure she knows

my brother's whereabouts.

She definitely knows

more than I do, at least.

-Please let the superintendent know.

-Yes, my lady.

Let's go.

PIL INN

Are you closed today?

Yes, the interior is under construction.

We will be closed for the time being.

Is Guildmaster Kang inside?

Well…

What brings you here, Superintendent Park?

I came to see Guildmaster Kang.

Is he available?

The guildmaster has stepped out.

Is that so?

Then, tell him I wish to see him

and to come to the Capital Guard.

-Do not forget.

-Yes, sir.

What if he ran away already?

Did you see the men behind him?

They do not work there.

Then, who are they?

Their outfits were unusual,

and they carried officers' swords,

while Kang Pil-jik's men were

completely unarmed.

It appears someone is watching them.

You must keep an eye out for Kang Pil-jik

and whoever goes in or out.

Yes, sir.

I had forgotten for a moment

about what kind of person

the left councilor was.

Your Majesty…

I doubt he would have made

any sloppy mistakes.

We are almost at the end, Your Majesty.

We have uncovered a lot already.

Now that I think about it,

it was strange

how he placed Madam Oh at the helm.

Rather than search for a connection

between Madam Oh and Lord Seok,

I should have thought about

who would go down with Madam Oh.

In order to k*ll my father,

he took my mother hostage.

There must be another way.

I will find and bring you evidence

that can bring down the left councilor.

I will find it at all costs, sire.

Left Councilor…

Left Councilor!

I have ensured that Kang Pil-jik

cannot step foot outside Pil Inn.

What on earth did he do that was so bad?

You do not need to know that,

Defense Minister.

How about getting rid of him

before things get any worse?

Whether he makes things worse

or will still be of more use to us,

getting rid of him

is not an urgent matter.

See how things go for now.

Rather than that…

I wonder what His Majesty will do.

I made myself very clear,

but if he were to push his luck again…

I do not wish to go through the trouble

of doing the same thing twice.

I was too flustered

to take a close look on that day.

It is fascinating

that a woman of a noble family

dresses like that.

Please, Brother.

That was a compliment.

It is a compliment.

Yes. Thank you.

The head guildmaster told me

you met with Madam Oh today.

I heard you acted

as the owner of the guild.

Is it not too dangerous

to say you have another identity?

She is a prideful person.

It would be no use

to beg or threaten her for information.

That is also why my father-in-law

tried to have her k*lled.

That is why I gave it a try.

I pretended to need nothing

and know everything.

I acted like I was on the same side as

her, wanting to seek vengeance together.

-"The same side"?

-We must deceive her as such.

I also have no intention

of standing on Madam Oh's side.

I do not know about anything else,

but I will never join hands

with someone who plays tricks with food.

Whatever Madam Oh says,

it may be of no use to us.

The left councilor used the queen dowager

to threaten His Majesty.

He had always planned to make it seem

like Madam Oh was

following Her Majesty's orders.

Why does he always take

family members as leverage?

-What of Kang Pil-jik?

-He is likely confined at Pil Inn.

Let's go.

Actions speak louder than words,

do they not?

PIL INN

Who goes there?

It is you!

It has been a while.

How dare you be so bold to come here?

I do not think you are in any position

to yell at us right now.

Boss.

Your swords were taken,

and by the looks of it,

you seem to be trapped in here.

Is it just me?

No one would dare to keep us confined!

I will forget all those times

you interfered with my business.

Take this and leave.

Does he think

I have come here to steal from him?

Considering your history…

Who do you work for?

And who are you?

You will answer me first.

You work with the mask.

Aren't you Superintendent Park Su-h*?

I was aware that you are quite close

with the mask.

A superintendent of the Capital Guard

cannot k*ll someone while wearing a mask.

If I am guilty of a crime,

you should question me

at the Capital Guard.

But instead, you are pointing

a sword at me.

What is my crime?

Your crime?

How dare you ignore your protocol?

If you knew who I truly was,

would you remember your crimes?

After you k*lled my entire family,

I survived alone.

I am King's Guard General Im g*ng's son,

Im Hyeon-jae.

Hyeon-jae.

Father!

Do you remember what happened?

I remembered who you were.

It was all thanks to you.

I do not know anything.

The plan has changed.

Let's simply k*ll him right now.

Wait!

You said you would not stop me.

Please stop him.

Please spare me.

Well, I made this man a promise.

Do as you wish.

I will do whatever you say.

Why did you k*ll my family?

The general of the King's Guard

had a royal edict.

I was promised a hefty sum if I stole it.

I do not know the details either.

I only did as Madam Oh said.

Can you prove that statement?

I am the proof.

If you spare me, I will testify to it.

But if I die here,

you will never be able

to prove what happened.

If he does not have any evidence…

Let's go.

Are you all right?

I am relieved it is not worse.

You could have been in big trouble.

I totally agree.

I apologize.

I should not have--

Yes, you should apologize.

The plan was to threaten him a bit,

let him escape,

and follow after him, was it not?

Also, the basic rule of wearing a mask

is to hide your identity.

But you got caught as soon as we arrived.

Still, we have someone following him,

so the plan did not completely fail.

You told him your true identity.

That was not in the plan.

Seeing his shameless face

as he thought I knew nothing

almost made me k*ll him right then.

I forgot what I was there to do.

I should have gone alone.

If you went alone,

you would not have gotten hurt either.

On second thought,

it would have been very dangerous

had I gone alone.

If not for your help,

I could have been stabbed in the back.

Lady Cho.

That will not happen.

Never again

will you get hurt again, my lady.

Kang Pil-jik, that punk.

I will not stop you next time,

so k*ll him.

It is late, so I will get going now.

All right.

My lord.

Kang Pil-jik has escaped.

What?

Some masked figures suddenly appeared.

It seems he escaped amidst the chaos.

Masked figures, you say?

Find out who they were.

What should we do about Kang Pil-jik?

Just leave him be.

He will not be able to return

to living like a dog on the street,

so he will not just disappear

without a trace.

Yes, my lord.

I do not think we will be able

to go through the fortress gate.

I will follow them from here,

so ask the superintendent

for the next orders.

Yes, sir.

So, my father truly gave a royal edict.

His loyal subject guarded it with his life

but had it taken from him

in such an awful way.

It seems that our hands are tied now.

Your Majesty.

It is still too soon to be discouraged.

After the death

of the general of the King's Guard,

Cho Seong-hu disappeared

after meeting with the former king.

Seeing how eagerly

the left councilor searched for him,

I am sure he received a secret order

from His Majesty, the late king.

The question is if we will ever find it.

It seems like Madam Oh knows about it,

so please wait

until Lord Seok's daughter-in-law

comes back with some news.

What if Madam Oh becomes a threat

to the queen dowager?

If Madam Oh sides with Lord Seok

to try and find a way to live,

what will we do then?

Madam Oh's crimes are

grave enough to have her beheaded.

If we cannot gain anything from her,

you can personally order

immediate punishment for her crimes.

Madam Oh.

May I come in?

You may.

Someone asked that this letter

be delivered to you.

Last night, I saw an unfamiliar man

in the master's quarters.

He was likely guarding Kang Pil-jik.

Father's men seem to be hidden everywhere.

He must also be looking

for whoever sent the note.

Forcing me out must be his top priority.

Anyway,

what is the royal advisor doing?

While the superintendent and I

ran around all night,

he could not resolve one small task.

I am sure he has his reasons.

Are you

taking his side right now?

Pardon?

What do you mean?

No reason should keep him

from finding such a small solution.

Lady Cho.

Lady Yoo has returned.

Has Mother arrived?

You should come out at once.

I will be right there.

Tell the royal advisor

that he no longer needs to find a way.

Mother will buy us time.

Oh, Mother!

She has forgotten Lady Yoo wants

to send her to guard the grave

more than Lord Seok.

What? Who did you say has come?

Look, Father!

My lord.

It is our dear Jeong.

Our Jeong has returned.

Father.

Your unfilial son has finally returned.

How did you…

You cannot believe it either, can you?

I was in disbelief on my way back, too.

He was almost k*lled by a group of bandits

and lost his memory.

A merchant saved him and took him to Qing.

Due to the loss of my memories,

I could not return.

I heard you were very devastated.

Never again

will I fail my duties as your son.

All right.

My son has come back alive.

I never thought I would see those two

being so affectionate ever again.

Mother.

Have you returned?

Come here, Yeo-hwa.

This is our dear Jeong.

Your husband has returned alive.

Who?

My son, Jeong.

He is alive and well.

I apologize.

I have returned so late.

Wait, this punk is…

-My hair!

-What is the matter?

Is the head guildmaster in?

How rude!

Pardon my intrusion.

Please keep enjoying yourselves.

Goodness.

She has been faithful

to her late husband for 15 years,

so she must feel shy around men.

How naive of her.

She will warm up to you soon,

so do not feel too upset.

Yes, Mother.

Let us go inside now.

What kind of a strange dream am I having?

Are you afraid that I will run away

while guarding your grave?

You should be in there.

Why did you come out?

May I come in for a moment?

My husband,

please tell me that is not you.

Please. I beg you!

I am coming in.

You cannot.

Please excuse me.

Well…

My…

My lady?

You seem quite flustered.

Please call me when you have calmed down.

I will be waiting.

MEMORIAL TABLE

OF YEO-HWA'S HUSBAND

I did not know Mother would stop me

from guarding your grave this way.

Bi-chan is following that man closely.

We must closely watch

who approaches him and where he goes.

I am sending him frequent messages,

-so do not worry.

-Yes, sir.

Father!

Oh, it is you, sweetie.

Why have you come here again?

Another destined love story

that sounds like a novel

has occurred in the capital.

Lord Seok's son came back alive,

so their residence

is currently in a frenzy.

It was widely rumored

that his wife prayed for him every day.

Her sincerity must have moved the heavens.

Goodness, how could such a thing be?

That is wonderful news.

Lord Seok's daughter-in-law

must be overjoyed.

She can take off her mourning clothes

and can be with her husband.

I wish to have a love like that, too.

No. I certainly will, Father.

In that case,

you would have to start

by losing your husband.

That is absurd.

It cannot be.

Superintendent Park!

How could you say such a thing

in front of your future husband?

I have my eye on another man.

Bye now.

Have you heard, Brother?

Yes, I have.

How can a dead man come back to life?

It is impossible.

I will come in.

My lady.

I would like some time alone with Jeong.

I am sure you would.

I have also stayed

right by his side since yesterday.

Have you?

I will leave you to talk.

Why did you dare to crawl back here?

Everyone has become happy.

Except for you, Father.

You insolent scoundrel!

I will forget everything you did to me

and look after Mother and my wife.

So, do not worry too much.

Do you understand

that you have ruined my plans?

Please.

Whatever it is,

I hope no one else gets hurt

because of your plans.

I…

So, I…

Brother.

What should I do?

This cannot be.

It simply cannot.

Would you please…

Never mind.

Keep talking.

You should at least talk about it

to soothe your heart.

I am dying to know

who on earth that fool is.

When your husband

is alive and well like this,

you cannot be wearing mourning clothes.

He has already seen me

in mourning clothes a few times, Mother.

Those clothes are what Jae-i wore

before she got married,

but they suit you so well.

You look so beautiful.

Don't you agree?

Yes, Mother.

In those colorful clothes,

she looks even more like that lady.

You only ever wore mourning clothes

after getting married.

You endured so much all this time.

No, Mother.

I have truly been all right.

I mean it.

Our dear Jeong has returned safely,

all thanks to your sincerity.

Wear pretty clothes

and explore beyond our walls.

Let us live in happiness and fortune.

No, Mother.

I do plenty of exploring beyond our walls.

I wear black clothes too,

not just mourning clothes.

Can I not just stay in the shrine

in my mourning clothes again?

I understand.

How can one express such emotions

with only words?

It is only natural

that this feels unfamiliar,

but you must get used to it now.

Now, I will leave you two alone.

Get to know each other better.

Goodness.

Mother?

Mother…

She certainly resembles

Superintendent Park's lover.

Why is he looking at me like that?

It cannot be that he remembers me, can it?

You must have been through so much.

Not at all.

Last time at Myeongdo Inn--

Myeongdo Inn?

I have never been to Myeongdo Inn.

Do you not remember?

Your hair.

I did not recognize you at that time.

I apologize.

I also did not know you were my wife.

But why did you say

you have never been to Myeongdo Inn?

I thought something was wrong with him,

but he seems to be quick-witted.

I think she is hiding something.

A widow should not leave the residence.

I said so because

I do not wish to anger Mother.

I see.

That did not cross my mind.

Anyway,

do you happen to know

a superintendent of the Capital Guard?

Who is that?

I have no idea who you are talking about.

All right, then.

Tonight may be your last chance.

Wait a moment.

Let me think first.

What is there to think about?

Will you stay here?

Yeo-hwa.

Why are you in the shrine again?

It seems that I have

grown used to this place.

Your husband is alive and well.

Do not come here anymore.

Yes, Mother.

Also, until Jeong's room is ready,

I told him to stay with you

in your quarters for now.

Yes, Mother.

Pardon?

You must continue our family's bloodline.

Until you give birth to a son,

I told Jeong to stay with you

in your quarters.

I would love to have grandchildren

as soon as possible.

Go to your room now.

Do not worry too much.

I am a man with quite good manners.

Now, what are "manners"?

He is truly detestable.

It means that I am a gentleman.

Then I will say this

since you say you are a gentleman.

I was alone during the wedding ceremony

and drank the nuptial wine by myself.

We must officially complete

those formalities

to truly become a married couple.

I did not think of that.

Let us have another wedding.

Did our families exchange information

about our date and time of birth?

I am sure they did.

Did my family send a dowry?

Surely, they sent that as well.

Then we will start with…

the nuptial wine.

Should I just k*ll him?

I am sorry…

for making you do

all of those things alone.

I apologize.

I wanted

to say that all day today.

I do not know anything about you,

but you clearly went through a lot

because of me.

For that alone,

I wanted

to apologize to you.

Even if someone were to blame,

it would not be you, my…

My hus…

It is not your fault.

It was easy to say it

to a memorial tablet,

but it is hard to do so

to an actual living person.

All right.

Let us go to bed now.

If you are uncomfortable,

I will sleep by the door,

and you can sleep on the mattress.

All right.

I will sleep now.

What are you doing right now?

Just wear that to bed.

It is a habit.

I cannot sleep with my clothes on.

I really did not want to do this

on our first night together.

Then,

I will help you. Please turn around.

Will you?

My lady,

I am actually--

Oh, my husband.

How could you be such a lightweight?

What took you so long?

I had a hard time leaving the house.

You cannot go on like this.

What will you do now?

I must quickly find a way to leave home.

You were looking

for a way to stay until yesterday.

Life must not be easy

for a daughter-in-law.

Anyway,

what kind of a person is your husband?

Do not say the word "husband."

You know who he is.

It was Mr. Joo.

The one who used to sell his goods here.

Mr. Joo?

He acts so strangely.

I am unsure if he knows something or not.

Anyway, please look into him for me.

I cannot believe it was Mr. Joo.

That does seem strange.

It cannot be a coincidence.

I must make Madam Oh talk tomorrow.

This may be our last chance.

If she does not talk,

I am afraid

that I may never find my brother.

Someone just as pitiful as you

is sleeping in the room next door.

Will you wake them up

and tell them to leave?

Have you come?

I will give you my life, my lord.

My lady?

Just how much did he drink?

I must be starting

to see things now.

My lady.

You are someone else's wife.

My lady…
