Whatever Belongs to Caesar Must Be Returned to Caesar, Part 4 of 5

In the previous episode, we learned about the kind-hearted Trần Địa and all the sacrifices he made so that his sworn brother Chu Thiên could go to the capital to take the national exam, only to find out later that his brother betrayed him. Please join us again today for Part 4 of our drama. “I was told that in the evening, Ngọc Sương often came to dock her boat at this paradise-like, named Gạo ferry. Such a beauty was wandering here. She must belong to a hero like me! Soldiers! Now, listen to me! Tonight, wait until the girl comes here as usual. Then you guys slay the boatman, but somehow let her see him die, then hide yourselves quickly in the dark and wait. When she comes and finds out and mourns for him, you guys put a big cloth over her to kidnap her and bring back to my residence!”

“Oh! No need to prostrate to me, dear son. I heard that the national exam is coming. So I returned here to take back the boat so that you can go to the capital. Ngọc Sương doesn’t come to see you off, but she asked me to bring you this gift.” “O Trần Địa! I heard that you’re going to the capital to take the exam. I hurriedly packed my belongings and came here to accompany you and assist you.”

“Diệp Anh! She’s a talented lady, well-versed in all fine arts, beautiful, elegant, with a noble demeanor. But our marriage until now is still missing her affection. But no problem, I already have Ngọc Sương now. She is beautiful, sweet, chaste, and gentle as a soft breeze, a floating cloud. But sadly, ever since she came here, she’s become so thin and sickly. Like a lost soul, she neither talks nor smiles.”

“Your Honor, I’m an herbal doctor, and this is my disciple, Hồ Ngạn. Your Honor, this lady’s illness is very strange. Her pulse is irregular. Her philtrum is dark. She’s heartbroken over an unjust death of a loved one.”
