Virtuous widow inspection

is not important now.

Sir, are you in?

Hello.

I got worried as you didn't come

to inquire about my sister-in-law.

He says that business is not important.

I was just on my way.

Then I'll lead the way, sir.

Sir, I think we're the same age.

I was born in 1762.

I was born in early 1762.

Let's go.

I'm 12 years older than you fellows.

We're servants flogged?

Lowly creatures,

There's nothing like

beating to keep them in line.

I guess there are many reasons for beating.

This was her room.

I know it's difficult

but it's standard procedure.

Can you tell me about

your daughter-in-law?

I first saw her 5 years ago.

They brought her suddenly saying

she was to be married to my son.

I am Kim Ah-young.

My son fell sick as soon

after the wedding.

She kept by his side taking care of him.

But, our son finally left our side.

And one day, my daughter-in-law

brought a wolfsbane flower.

She worked hard to forget her sadness.

I was proud but felt sorry

for her at the same time.

I thought she was calming herself

but that wasn't the case...

It was concerns for me

that kept her going.

When the plantation became decent...

I still can't believe it.

It's my fault that I had no idea

what she was going through.

I'm sorry to have caused you pain.

I'll be on my way now.

Must have recently built

the ancestor shrine?

There was a fire 3 years ago.

Cause is still unknown.

Ancestor shrine on fire.

How odd!

Perhaps the ancestors were angry.

My brother got sick again

and his wife, too...

This was being hidden.

It's not the capital and

you were able to get your hands on it.

The 2nd book!

There's nothing special about

the deceased Mrs. Kim.

Her husband, Minister Lims eldest son,

was suffering from lung disease.

And, he was still able to get married?

He got much better in Jinju

where he went for recuperation.

He met his wife there and

decided to get married.

But, why all of sudden?

There was a fire to the ancestor shrine.

The ancestors must have gotten angry.

His sickness got worse and died.

Jinxed!

Pardon?

Released!

Going back to our topic...

Yes, back to topic.

The trade magnate here...

The trade magnate?

The trade house seems

much bigger than the others.

Yes.

Because of their size,

they can unload many products.

What do you mean?

How large is the scale?

The goods that come through this tradehouse?

That is...

How were you able to

get this position?

Having no knowledge about

the situation of your jurisdiction.

Let me see the books

on the tradehouse.

Ah... Yes.

I'm afraid that's outside my authority.

Said Master Han?

No way.

I haven't even met the person.

Haven't met him?

Other than for the fact

that the name is Han...

Never shows himself.

Never shows...

I guess he's concerned about

security given the size of the business.

I'm here to see Master Han.

The Master is not in.

Hey!

So, you must have had

a fight or two...

You low servant class...

Can't you hear that this noble man

is here to see Master Han?

I can't.

Sir, he didn't hear.

I thought your voice was a bit soft.

I know he's inside.

Out of the way!

Asking for a beating, aren't you?

Bring them inside.

That's fine.

Please come inside.

Surprised that I'm a woman?

Gosh, you're stunning...

I mean...

Because of that before.

I have a black dog.

Won't eat unless I feed it.

To eat what you were preparing

the size of the dog must be.

Big as a bull.

Can I take a look?

You came here to see a dog?

Do you know what this is?

It's used by assassins of China.

Stuck in the back of the head

through the vital organ,

will cause instant death

without a trace.

How do you know this so well?

I'm a businesswoman.

I need to know about everything

that can bring a profit.

You mean this can also be traded?

There was no one who asked for it.

Can do anything

that could be profitable. Then...

Sir!

How can this have anything to do

with reporting on the virtuous widow?

That should be enough for now.

What an embarrassment!

What? No way I could have gotten

an answer from her.

Got intimidated by a woman.

I told you she's not someone

to be reckoned with.

Reading pornographic books

won't help?

Won't substitute talking

to a real woman?

Just looking at women in porn books.

Stunning? Ha!

Get away from me!

It's so hot and you gotta be

standing right next to me.

What's the point?

Makes you more hot.

Sh*t! Don't even feel like working.

The fate of a servant?

You do as ordered.

Work our asses off and

all we get is a beating.

How could our lady abandon us?

Watch your mouth!

Abandon us?

Our lady would never do such a thing.

You crazy?

What if someone over hears us?

I'm so hungry...

Won't someone feed me?

He's a retard.

Hey, do we have some rice balls left?

I'm hungry!

Let's go before someone sees us.

Tell the truth!

We just fed him rice balls

because he said he was hungry.

What secret did you have

that led you to kill him?

I'll decide after I hear your response.

Wait...

This looks like a rake.

This a shovel, even a scythe?

I haven't seen these tools before.

The lady made it for us.

Lady? The lady made

these farming tools?

For you servants?

Wait...

The rash on your forehead is

from the wolfsbane flowers?

No sir! Not us.

We just couldn't believe

that the lady took her own life.

She just wasn't someone

who would do such a thing.

The world will come

that has no classes.

In the beginning there were

no aristocrats or servants.

Don't believe only the things you see.

Somethings, you can only see

after you believe.

Those who sow in tears...

will reap with songs of joy.

Must have recently built

the ancestor shrine.

There was a fire 3 years ago.

Cause is still unknown.

It was a few days

before the lady left us.

Take this.

What's this maam?

We already got our wages.

It's your servant documents.

Lady...

And not too long afterwards,

we heard the lady died.

Lady!

What happened to that servant document?

Master Lim took it.

Then who took over the plantation?

After the lady died,

the plantation went over to Master Han.

To Master Han?

An equal world?

What a courageous person.

I'm still moved...

You were doing great things.

Creating a world that

we were only dreaming of

you were making it as a woman.

Sir? Sir!

The tool that we saw.

I've never seen it before.

She must have gone through

series of trial and error.

A person about to commit suicide

wouldn't bother inventing a farming tool.

Then?

Must have been a thorn on his side.

Christian son who burns down

the ancestor shrine,

Daughter-in-law who goes

against the gentry.

It was the Christian son,

who set fire to the shrine.

For that reason

the Lim family put him on trial

and exterminated the wife,

making her a virtuous widow.

How could they try to pass

a Christian as a virtuous widow?

It's obvious

they would be found out.

It's no crime these days to get rid of

one or two Christians.
