[Miss Chun is a Litigator]

[Episode 13]

Your Highness.

Lord Kang.

-My lord. -My lord.

Where are the guards?

They were all killed.

Do you know who did it?

It will take some time.

Send more men.

We can't let this happen again.

Yes.

Could it be Luo Li?

That would be too stupid of him.

He could have waited

till we leave Youzhou.

He wanted to show his authority?

Otherwise, who would it be that Chun Tumi offended

that was worth the trouble of an assassin?

Anyway,

I'll send more men

to ensure safety.

The latch

was cut off by some sharp weapon.

The cut was extremely smooth.

Besides, the latch

was only scratched a bit from the surface.

There were no other major damages.

The killer

killed the patrol guards.

The person who saved her

killed the killer.

It was my fault.

Captain Chun.

Yes.

You will be in charge

to arrange more men to strengthen security.

Just do it.

Yes, Lord Kang.

But

I'm still worried

that the killer just got the wrong person.

So please

be careful.

I will do the night patrol in person in the future.

I invited you here

hoping that you

could be more cautious.

Better to catch the real murderer behind it.

Don't worry.

I've sent people

to check it around here.

I wouldn't miss anything

if there's any trail.

This is a good dagger.

The blade is as thin as a cicada's wing.

It can penetrate the smallest crack

and is so sharp that it cuts iron like it were mud.

Such a magical dagger.

Must be hard to get.

Who would take so much trouble to kill me?

That's what I don't understand.

Even if Luo Li hates you,

he wouldn't be so bold to do this.

Besides,

this killer is so skilled.

Killing me

would be like stepping on an ant.

It's not worth his trouble.

He must have wanted to kill you.

But he got into the wrong room.

You really don't know

who saved you?

Tumi.

The one who saved you is the key to solving the case.

You trust him

more than you trust me

and Lord Kang?

I have no idea.

Have you had any conflict

with anyone recently?

With someone who can afford to hire the killer?

No, I haven't.

If it was an assassination,

it should be me that they wanted to assassinate.

How could they go to you?

It was not something lucky.

What's there to fight for?

Could it be those thieves?

I must have guessed something right

when we were solving the case

that made them worry.

So they wanted to kill me.

That makes sense.

No matter who it was,

Luo Li or those thieves,

we probably were the reason

for this trouble.

If I didn't ask you to go to court,

you wouldn't have encountered this.

I knew it must be you who dragged me into this.

But it has happened.

Complaining doesn't help.

We can only try to solve it.

Lord Han,

since you know you were sorry,

remember

what you promised me.

To get my family out of the military registration.

Don't worry.

I'll keep my word.

But

I want to know

what Luo Li lost.

If we leave

with all these issues unsolved,

I'll be left hanging.

Youzhou is who's protecting

the capital.

Lord Han,

all questions have answers.

If you

don't have the answer now,

that means it's not time yet

to find it.

What are you doing?

Packing.

We'll leave Youzhou

after things are finished.

I didn't plan to leave.

Young Master,

think about it.

Everything you liked since you were little,

what happened to them in the end?

Do you know

that Chun Tumi

saved me once?

At the Guanting Canyon.

Back then,

I was like a crazy dog.

She was the only one

who saw me that way

but who wasn't afraid.

For my whole life,

everyone respects me,

is scared of me,

hates me,

lies to me, blames me,

flatters me,

and pities me.

But no one

understands me.

No one wants to know me.

No one cares about who I like

and what I encountered.

Let me ask you.

To you, I'm the Young Master,

someone you want to follow all your life.

But other than that,

who am I to you?

Young Master.

No matter who was the killer,

it must be that guy

who saved Tumi.

I don't understand.

What exactly

does Mowu Pavilion do?

It has nothing to do with Mowu Pavilion.

He fell in love with Tumi.

I'm not surprised that he saved her.

I'm surprised

she kept the secret for him.

She trusts him

more than she trusts us.

Why didn't you

keep asking her?

For the sake of the country,

His Majesty asked us to compromise.

To keep the overall situation steady,

we pushed her to the front.

We owe her.

Although she didn't know

about His Majesty's secret edict,

it was an easy guess for her

to know our concerns.

She put herself out there without hesitation

and defended Shan Yi

for the lawsuit.

I thought I could protect her,

but I let this happen to her.

In court,

we did try to protect her,

but she was capable enough

to deal with Luo Li.

Now,

if you ask me to keep pushing her,

I really...

You did the right thing.

I'll take care of the rest.

I'll investigate.

I won't let anything happen to her again.

A lot

has happened

during the patrol.

Let me think about it.

What's there to think about?

It's obvious that

it was me that they were after.

They tried to poison you once,

and kill Chun Tumi once.

Do they think I'm dead?

Guards!

Wuwei, slow down.

Now that we are here,

don't act rashly.

Your Highness.

Lord Han.

I called them over

to reinforce the security.

Okay.

I'll join you.

My lady,

you didn't rest well yesterday.

Why making this? It's not good for your eyes.

This is my entry for the skill competition.

If I lose,

I'll give it to the winner.

Of course, you'll lose.

To put colored thread

through seven needles,

how could you win?

I couldn't even make Qiaoguo well.

I won't lose this again,

will I?

Wait.

My lady,

Master Chun won't let you go out.

Of course, he won't.

I won't tell him.

I'll go in secret and come back in secret.

Are you out of your mind?

What?

You want to rat on me?

My Lady,

can't you just stay here?

If you feel bored,

why don't you ask Lord Kang

for some files to review?

No.

I have something important to do out there.

No.

Captain Chun.

Why are you standing outside?

Lord Han.

Lord Han.

I feel more assured to keep her company.

Did she sleep well last night?

My daughter,

she looks like she's fearless of nothing.

She comforted me

and joked that the killer went to the wrong room.

But it was her first time seeing blood.

How could she not be scared?

You also pretended to believe

what she said

to make her feel better.

That's what families do.

Lord Han,

was it Lord Luo who did this?

I know my rank is low.

But she's my only daughter.

I'll risk my life

to protect her.

Please tell me

what I should do.

Captain Chun.

You're working for the court,

the court will help you.

Have you ever thought about

moving to Luoyang?

Moving to Luoyang？

If you haven't thought about it,

from now on,

do think about it.

Tumi is a treasure you can't hide.

She'll be

more and more famous in the future.

She has the skills.

Do you really want to hide her

from showing the world what she can do?

The more famous and well-known she becomes,

the safer she will be.

His Majesty cherishes talents.

All right.

I'm going to the regional commander's

to pick up Lord Kang.

I'll leave the security here

to you.

Think about it.

Yes, my lord.

Ye.

You look handsome today.

Like a young master.

Come down.

Sit tight.

Here.

[Begging for Skills Festival]

Be careful.

This one.

This looks good.

This one.

Higher.

Let's go.

Wait.

What's this for?

We won't get separated if we hold hands like this.

Let's go.

Let's go.

The skill competition is about to start.

Any girls who have paid the deposit?

[Threading Contest of Begging for Skills Festival]

Ye,

I think you need a handkerchief.

No, I don't.

I don't use a handkerchief.

I say you do.

Just wait.

Any girls who have paid the deposit?

[Threading Contest of Begging for Skills Festival]

Here.

Now, we announce the good luck trophy.

The contestant

will use her handkerchief as a stake.

Put the thread through seven needles.

The first one who finishes gets the first prize

and a beautiful handkerchief.

The other contestants

don't have to feel upset.

We also prepared small gifts for you.

[Threading Contest of Begging for Skills Festival]

The competition starts now.

Amazing.

Nice craftsmanship.

I'm done.

So fast? Not bad.

This girl did great.

[Threading Contest of Begging for Skills Festival]

She won the competition

and got the first prize.

Great!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Skilled hands.

Miss.

Here.

[Threading Contest of Begging for Skills Festival]

I won.

I won!

You're amazing.

Ye,

although this is not the best,

it's better than mine.

Here.

Madam,

I want to exchange this handkerchief

with that lady's handkerchief.

Which lady?

This is against the rules.

You can't do this.

This is against the rules.

Right.

I think this one looks better.

But mine is...

Stop it.

Let's go.

This is great.

This looks nice.

Try this.

Where did you buy this?

Miss, take a look at this.

Okay.

Any news about Ayili?

A few days ago,

I saw her outside the city.

But I lost her.

If Ayili was just being naughty,

and came out to see Young Master,

it doesn't worry me.

But I'm worried she may be used

and do something bad

to the Pavilion and Young Master.

Don't worry, Grand Secretary.

I'll find her as soon as possible.

Find her fast.

Don't let Young Master worry.

Yes.

Sir,

how about three coppers for five?

Three coppers for five?

Sir, another bowl.

Okay.

Look over there.

They are selling embroidery balls.

Actually,

they eembroidered better.

The one I embroidered is ordinary.

As long as you like it.

Ye, do you want candied haws?

Have one, please?

You want one?

Sure.

How much is it?

Two coins.

Okay.

Here.

Thank you.

Here it is.

Thank you.

Do you have some?

No, thank you.

Really, no?

It's all mine then.

Is it good?

Let's go.

Let's go.

The clouds are thick today.

I can't see the stars.

But it's not bad

just watching the lanterns.

Be patient.

What?

You can change the weather?

Ye,

you said you owe me three lives.

How did you calculate?

Does it count last night?

Why do you ask?

If it counts last night,

I've already used one.

It's better to make it clear.

Why are you laughing?

I'm not.

You just did.

You have the final say.

What do you mean?

It's your say to decide how many are left.

You decide.

Then it's a deal.

I have the final say.

I'd say you owe me three lives.

I'll be your creditor.

I tell you

when to pay me back.

Before I do,

you can't get yourself hurt.

Not even a hair.

I'm leaving Youzhou tomorrow.

I don't know

when we can meet again.

You can't come to visit me every time.

So,

you must stay safe.

I promise you.

Ye, hold this for me.

Tumi...

So beautiful.

Tumi.

My name is Yaksha.

Yaksha?

Is it the name

of that ghost in the Buddhist scripture?

Why this name?

Maybe my father thought

ghosts hated me.

Maybe your father

wanted the ghosts to stay away from you

to keep you safe.

Give me your hand.

From now on,

I'll protect you.

Do you want some, Miss?

Yes.

Four coins.

Thank you.

Miss.

Miss.

Sir,

how much is this?

Four coins for one.

Four coins?

Yes.

Wait.

Where did you get the wallet?

From the girl just now.

I wanted to wait...

Young Master.

Don't move.

What are you doing?

Are you crazy?

The Jinx?

Who are you talking to?

Who is the jinx?

Thank you, you kind man.

Hold on.

Ye,

let's buy a windmill.

-Thank you. -Okay.

Sir,

how much is this windmill?

Two coins.

Here.

Here you are.

The windmill moves and brings luck.

Miss,

you'll be lucky.

Thank you, sir.

Is the assassin

related to Mowu Pavilion?

No.

How do you explain the freezing needle?

Young Master,

do you remember

the bird you kept when you were little?

In Mowu Pavilion,

you can't like

nor love anyone or anything.

This is what you have to accept

growing up in Mowu Pavilion.

Did you

forget everything

Juzi told you

since you were a kid?

I won't forget what my father said.

But when can I meet him?

If it weren't for

that girl, the litigator,

you wouldn't ask to see him.

You've always been obedient.

After we return to the pavilion,

I'll arrange for you to meet him.

But don't forget

to find the inkstone.

Keep a closed eye on Han Wuwei.

I will never let Han Wuwei

have it.

How is Li?

Good.

She's doing well.

I want to meet her.

I wanted to bring her out to meet you.

But you were injured and missing.

I'll report to Juzi

and see what he says.

Before I meet my father,

I will keep looking for the inkstone.

I hope others from Mowu Pavilion

could stay focused and don't act otherwise.

You...

Why did you steal my wallet?

Can you prove I did?

Exhibit? I don't have the wallet.

Witness? Who saw it?

But you,

how dare you to rob a civilian girl

in broad daylight?

At such a young age,

you have a lot to reason.

At such an old age,

you have a lot of evil thoughts.

I wonder if you can still

be so eloquent

in jail.

What do you mean?

Paying me back with a hairpin?

This is premium.

It's more than enough to make up for your money.

Can I go now?

Wait.

What is this?

I don't know.

It fell from you,

and you don't know?

I have a bad memory.

I can't remember many things.

Eat it.

I'm not sick. Why should I?

How do you know this is medicine?

Did you take it before?

No, I don't know what you're talking about.

I've paid you back.

We're even.

I have the exactly same one.

I found it

from someone from Mowu Pavilion.

What's your relationship with Mowu Pavilion?

What is that?

Never heard of it.

I...

I found it.

You found it?

What?

You found one

but I couldn't?

Wait.

I've paid back

the money I owed you.

I have nothing

to do with anything you asked.

Now,

I'm going home.

Move!

Who asked you to stop me?

You have such a bad memory.

I'm worried

what if you get lost leaving like that.

Let me go!

Let me go!

Let me go!

When you remember who you are,

I'll send someone to escort you back.

Stop!

Let me out!

I was orderd to go with the patrol,

I didn't have time to deal with family matters.

It needs more than a piece of paper

to divorce your wife.

In fact, Xu didn't commit any of the Seven Sins.

But she drugged me.

That was a good reason

to divorce her.

But I left in a hurry.

So I asked her to go back to her parents

to think about it.

I wanted to talk about it when I come back

between our two families,

cover the scandal,

and find a decent reason for an amicable divorce.

But unexpectedly,

she got pregnant.

How silly.

Now Xu is suing you

for abandoning her

for your career.

Father,

you know

I'd never do that.

I know you're not someone

without conscience.

But what about the others?

I'll go to Lord Kang now

to ask for a leave.

I'll go to Laishui to visit her family

and make things clear.

Did you get anything?

She was very stubborn.

But when I mentioned Mowu Pavilion,

she obviously looked different.

Maybe she has something

to with Mowu Pavilion.

Judging from the way she dresses,

she doesn't look like one from a poor family.

But why did she steal?

From you?

You mean

she did it on purpose?

I'm not sure.

But we have to

keep a close eye on this girl.

Lord Kang.

I need to see you.

Come in.

Captain Chun, what's the matter?

I have some family emergencies

to deal with.

My lords, I want to

ask for a leave.

From now on,

I'll protect you.

[Graceland]

Lord Luo,

sorry for all the trouble during the last few days.

Please forgive us.

It wasn't just Lord Luo

who was troubled.

The whole city

may have been troubled.

Don't say that, Lord Han.

Even my guards

have learned a lot

from what you did here in Youzhou.

I don't know

when we can

meet again.

[Graceland]

There are many beasts and bandits

on the way in the rural areas.

I hope both of you lords

and the lady from the Chun family

to take care

on the way.

Thank you.

But I believe good people will be blessed.

Lord Luo.

Take care.

Let's go.

[Graceland]

Young Master.

They left.

Keep following them.

Yes.

It will take at least more than half a day

to get to the post.

If you want to starve to death,

I won't stop you.

My hands were tied,

how could I eat?

Stop.

With you here,

I can't run away.

This is too shabby.

Don't you have any decent dagger

in Mowu Pavilion?

Or

you were just a maid

who got kicked out after stealing money?

This thing really can't hurt anyone.

Then you'd better be careful.

Don't get hurt by this thing

and get laughed at by yourself.

My hairpin is very expensive.

I didn't eat your food for free.

Your father and I can solve

Xu's issue.

Why do you have to come?

Xu and her servant

have been holding a grudge against you because your father loves you more.

If you can solve it in private,

I won't come.

But Xu

sued my father in court.

I don't want you two to suffer.

So I came.

Lord Kang and Lord Han

have agreed to my request.

Grandfather, don't think too much.

Besides,

if I don't come with you,

I won't be able to eat

or sleep.

You want to see me like that?

You're too eloquent.

Anyway,

we Chun family

can't be bullied

no matter where we go.

By the way,

I told you

to be cautious.

Didn't you worry at all

about dealing with Lord Luo's case,

that he may

hurt you?

I did.

I...

I did worry

that if I failed,

I'd let my grandpa down.

You kid.

Since you two left,

I've been worried

something would happen to you.

I didn't expect it would be your father

who caused such big trouble.

Yes.

An amicable divorce is a big deal.

And we can't just violate

the law.

We need to sort out

the property and the dowry.

The man has to find witnesses

and wait for someone

to pick up the woman and her dowries.

These things should have waited

till the patrol is over.

The two families should sit down

and discuss it.

No one expected her suing in court.

We'll know

when we get to Laishui.
