[Miss Chun is a Litigator]

[Episode 14]

Tumi,

I'll stay here with Zheng for a while.

When he gets better,

we'll go to town.

What are you looking at?

Are you going to

see the county magistrate

like this?

It will affect your official image.

Right, Tumi?

Just listen to Lord Han.

You need to rest for a few days

to keep yourself tight.

You should be more careful when you go home.

It's always good to be careful.

We'll meet you

when we're done.

Take it easy.

Just do your job.

As for the Laishui files,

I'll handle them.

Don't worry.

But Luoyang is an important town.

I hope you can go with me.

If you need anything,

let us know.

It's our duty to do what you do.

Lord Han,

I do have a request.

Go ahead.

We go to Xu's mansion.

Mrs. Xu

never really liked me.

And Guo has a fierce temper.

I'm sure she won't see me hurt.

I'm afraid they'll talk back.

Could you

just let Guo follow you?

I know how much you love each other.

Don't worry.

Let her stay with us.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

You just need to hurry back.

I got to go.

Thank you so much.

Don't worry.

What's wrong?

I can spend a day or two

on patrol.

What about you?

Don't you need to go to Luoyang

to arrange the matter of the inkstone first?

Don't worry.

I have my own plan.

Tumi.

[Jixiang Inn]

You must be tired.

Have a good rest tonight.

Master. Miss.

I finally got you.

Xiao Qin.

What are you doing here?

Madam asked me to wait here.

Did something happen to her?

The accusation

was the old lady's idea.

Madam didn't want it.

She just wanted to stay home

and waited for you to pick her up.

It was the old lady who couldn't wait.

I don't know what to say.

Let's go inside.

Okay.

Let's go.

[Jixiang Inn]

Please enjoy.

Please.

Please.

How can this be?

I can't believe the old lady

made such a fuss,

even the prison patrol

was disturbed.

What else did Xu tell you?

Forget it. Forget it. Forget it.

Let's eat first.

We'll find out tomorrow in Xu Mansion.

Sir, what would you like to have?

A bowl of Yangchun Noodles.

Tumi

should arrive at the county town tomorrow.

If it goes well,

we shouldn't be long

in Laishui.

But Luoyang...

Don't worry.

I've already sent

some of the guards.

They will pay attention to it.

It's time

to meet him.

You've let him get away the last few times

you've fought him.

I wonder how many

killers like him

there are in the Mowu pavilion.

There's only one way

to find out.

Didn't you say that girl

wouldn't talk, right?

I will let her talk first.

My lady.

What's wrong?

My lady.

I was wondering if I could

share your room tonight?

Madam didn't give you

money for the inn?

She did.

But I'm scared.

Then overcome it.

I'm not used to

sleeping in the same room with others.

Besides,

we all live around you.

What's so scary about that?

You must be tired.

Get some rest.

I heard there's a wild lake nearby.

I'll take a walk later.

My lady.

Are you going to

the lake ahead at night?

You can't go there.

Something happened to the lake the other day.

There's evil.

What do you mean?

A man

lived in the Ruyi Inn.

And he didn't know what's wrong with him.

When he slept in the middle of the night,

he seemed to be haunted by a nightmare.

He shouted,

let his hair down and burst out of the house.

He ran barefoot

along the road

until he reached the lake.

He jumped in and never came back out.

Really?

I don't have the nerve to make that up.

People have drowned

in that lake before.

But a few days later,

the body surfaced.

It wouldn't have gone so many days

without bleach.

And Yamen even

sent someone to get it.

But nothing was found.

Isn't it scary?

Yes.

So scary.

My Lady.

You'll have nightmares if you keep listening to this.

Wait.

Maybe the guy

just swam up and walked.

That's impossible.

That's impossible.

When that man

ran out that night,

he screamed along the way

and woke up many people.

They followed him,

and saw him jump into the lake.

But no one saw him

come out of the lake again.

You should go back to your room and rest.

I have to close the shop.

Okay.

My Lady.

Usually you and Guo

quarrel so loud.

You're scared now?

I...

I'm just too timid.

Don't worry.

Even if there is a ghost,

every debt has its debtor.

You've done nothing wrong,

so don't be afraid of ghosts knocking at your door.

Don't worry.

My Lady.

Ye.

I knew

you knew what I meant.

By the way, Ye,

we've got some things to do

in Laishui county.

Then I'll meet Lord Kang

and go to Luoyang for a prison tour.

What about you?

Where are you going?

Laishui County.

What a coincidence.

Then we can meet again.

Next time we meet,

you can teach me some martial arts.

Then I can protect myself.

I can protect you.

I don't want to

rely on you to save me every time.

I want to protect you too.

You must have many secrets.

Like right now,

when am I gonna see

the real you?

If you don't want to say it,

let's talk about

other things.

The reason why you became

the Ye I know,

you must have encountered

a lot of warm things.

Otherwise,

you won't help me

and save me

without a second thought.

Right?

How about this?

Let's exchange.

I'll say one thing about me.

You say one thing about you.

I know everything

about you.

Chun Tumi's most precious thing

is the book of the Law.

She cares about her family the most.

She wants to be the first female litigator

in history.

She was fierce in court.

But in private,

she is a gentle person.

The first time she dressed my wound,

although it's a bad touch,

it didn't hurt at all.

She's the gentlest and kindest person.

I'm not one for words.

I have many secrets.

I'm very dangerous

to deal with.

But she didn't care

and she's willing to be my friend.

If anyone says you can't talk,

tell me.

I'll go get him.

Why do you trust me?

I don't know.

Maybe because

you helped me

when we first met.

Maybe it was doomed then.

I just trusted you.

You eat first.

I?

I don't know if there's poison

in your food.

Wait.

Don't forget to replace me tonight.

Stop.

What's that in your hand?

My lord.

I'm delivering

the leftovers of today's meal.

Turn around and let me see.

My lord.

I have an ugly face.

I don't want to scare you.

Turn around.

No need.

I'm the richest woman in Laishui.

I don't need any help

from a small family.

Mother.

I brought Chun Dashan here

so he could take you away.

Just go.

But...

But what?

Chun Dashan is just

a lowly military officer.

His daughter

has only a rudimentary knowledge of the law.

What can she do for me?

No...

Enough.

It's not up to you to decide what happens to me.

[Xu Mansion]

Xiao Qin, go knock on the door.

[Xu Mansion]

Yes.

Here.

[Xu Mansion]

What happened?

He was killed.

It's him.

That's him.

Why are people

so weird around here?

It's him.

None of this is credible.

[Xu Mansion]

Master.

You can go in now.

It's so scary.

Go, go, go.

Her Ladyships.

Young Master is here.

Honey.

Father-in-law. Tumi.

You are here too.

Mother.

Madam.

Madam.

My in-law is here, too.

Please have a seat.

Dashan

is on a prison tour.

Tumi

is visiting

her mother's relatives.

Why are you

all here together today?

That's what I was going to do.

But while Tumi

was with the prison patrol,

she helped Lord Kang

with some desk work.

So Lord Kang

invited her to join him,

When it's over,

I'll send her bac to the White family to visit her relatives.

I see.

But she is a girl.

She doesn't

fit in

with you guys.

Besides,

her mother died a long time ago.

And you should

have been thinking about her.

I'm kind of

Tumi's half-grandmother.

How about

I help you

find a good man for Tumi?

Only by marrying well

can a girl live comfortably,

so as to

be worthy of her mother who died early.

My sister married to Liuzhou.

She has a son.

He is about Tumi's age.

He is very handsome.

At such a young age,

he became a scholar.

And he has a lot of good fields.

If she really marries him,

she will enjoy a luxurious life.

Please rest assured.

Don't worry.

I won't let her suffer.

Thank you for your kindness.

But I only have one granddaughter.

I want to keep her around for a few more years.

Besides,

I don't want Tumi

to be too far away from me.

I always wanted to look after her myself.

How many years are you going to waste

being so picky?

Both of you are men. Men have thick minds.

You don't know

how to think of a girl.

Tumi comes out every day.

What's all the gossip

out there?

But naturally,

I won't say

that

to your face.

I just pity me.

I've heard so much,

and now I can't lift my head.

If she really wants to marry to Liuzhou,

let alone these harsh words

can not be passed.

Even if it does,

I can step in

and keep it down.

My daughter

works for the people.

She's not afraid of others' gossip.

You can do whatever you want.

There's no need to be ashamed.

If she's so honest,

why would she

act like this in court?

Who would dare

to marry such a woman?

Since you

care so much about a woman's character,

I would like to ask

if she's not filial to your parents

and your children,

and poisoned her husband,

what should we do

to her?

You...

I didn't tell you

what had happened

because I was concerned about the shame of the two families.

Don't

bully honest people.

Tumi is my life.

No one can underestimate her.

You don't have to be angry.

We appreciate your kindness.

I can decide

Tumi's marriage.

Father, you're right.

My mother did it for the sake of the Chun family.

She humiliated my daughter

for the sake of the Chun family?

You sued me

for abandoning my wife

for the sake of the Chun family?

My mother

didn't mean

to make things difficult for you.

She did that was...

Stop talking.

It's none of your business.

Since you have a plan

about Tumi's marriage,

I won't

do things that are inhumane.

But as for the divorce,

it's impossible

in my mansion.

You worry too much.

The divorce and abandoning

are not allowed

in my family.

But the prison tour

must be a bit bumpy.

My daughter-in-law is pregnant.

Why don't we take her back

after the patrol is over?

Since she's married into your family,

she belongs to your family.

What's she been doing

here all day?

Tonight,

pack your things.

I'll send you

to their resting inn tomorrow morning.

Mother.

How can I leave you?

Let me be with you.

No need.

Guards.

Send them out.

Mother.

Honey.

[Rich and Powerful Family]

Honey.

Honey.

Honey.

Don't hate my mother.

She has her reasons.

Madam, don't cry.

You're pregnant.

Your health is the most important.

If you have any difficulties,

just say it.

I...

Actually,

it's all because of my father...

Xu Qing!

Bitch!

You killed my brother.

How could you be so indifferent?

You have no conscience!

[Xu Mansion]

You have no conscience!

You have no conscience!

Do you have a conscience?

Come out!

Don't hide.

What are you doing?

[Xu Mansion]

Buddies.

This bitch

is hiding inside.

I'll hang myself

at their door today.

Remember.

[Xu Mansion]

My mourning hall

should be set in their house.

Yes. Yes.

We set the mourning hall at the door,

and die in their house.

In their house!

In broad daylight,

how can I let you do this?

I was wondering who it was.

It turns out to be the son-in-law of the Xu family.

Chun Dashan.

Even though you are a military officer,

I'm not afraid of you.

Chun Dashan.

Listen.

Xu Qing is an evil woman.

If there's a man out there,

she couldn't tolerate my brother

and killed him.

And Xu

is not a good person.

You stand up for them?

Fine.

They may cheat on you.

Cheat on you.

Watch your mouth.

What do you want?

Even if you

hang yourself in front of me right now,

I don't care.

But if you dare to talk nonsense again,

don't blame me for being rude.

Officer.

Don't scare me.

If you have the guts,

let's go to Yamen.

I don't believe it.

There is law in the country.

How can we let the nouveau riche wife

kill people?

Exactly.

Brothers,

go in and get him.

Wait.

Go, go.

Follow me.

Who are you?

It doesn't matter who I am.

What matters is what you said.

The country has its laws.

How dare you break the law?

In broad daylight,

you broke into a house.

Do you know what crime this is?

You said Mrs. Xu had killed your brother.

Do you have any evidence?

It seems that you have no evidence.

[Xu Mansion]

You brought a bunch of people

broke into Xu's house.

This is a crime of disturbance.

Should I go to Yamen

and ask the lord to judge?

Let's go.

Let's talk.

Let go of me!

How dare you!

[Xu Mansion]

This is outrageous.

Listen.

I'm going to the Yamen now.

Chun Dashan.

I know someone superior than you.

I also know people

who kill for nothing.

Just wait.

-Wait. -That's right.

-Wait. -Wait.

What's going on?

Who are the people

you're messing with?

Father-in-law.

The one who took the lead just now

was my father's brother, Fan Bai.

He brought people here

many times.

They said my father went missing

because my mother killed him.

They've reported it to the government.

Old Master is missing?

My father just went on a trip.

He didn't contact us for the time being.

He used to be like this.

But...

He's been away for a long time.

Since you've reported it to the government,

did you find anyone?

Yes.

We didn't find him.

But...

People in the government trusted my mother.

They also told my mother

to shut down for a while.

In this case,

the Fan family won't be able to make a scene.

It's useless.

Since the Fan family thought

Old Master's disappearance

had something to do with Madam.

They won't let it go.

My father stopped them today.

What about tomorrow?

We have to find out

where Old Master is.

This... has nothing to do with us.

Absolutely.

Tumi,

please help me.

Save my mother.

My mother was really wronged.

Before,

Mrs. Xu thought it's inappropriate

to show up in public.

Naturally, Tumi

can't show up.

Xiao Qin.

Her Ladyship is pregnant.

Take good care of her.

Help Her Ladyship back to rest.

Let's go.

[Xu Mansion]

Dear.

Dear.

Go and persuade the Master

and Tumi.

What if Old Madam finds out...

Hurry up.

What would you like to eat?

A pot of water first.

Okay.

Father.

Grandfather.

Don't you think what happened today

is a little weird today?

I heard that

Old Master used to be very poor

and lacked clothes and food.

After he married Xu's daughter,

and under the help of the Xu family,

he became rich.

But I can't believe they

bullied the Xu family like this today.

Besides, Her Ladyship

told on my father with the excuse of abandoning his wife

and forced me to come,

but she didn't tell us the truth.

She didn't want us to

get involved with this.

Although Old Madam has a bad temper,

she is sincere to

her only daughter.

So,

she forced your father to come

and pick up her only daughter.

As for other things,

she bore it all by herself.

She's afraid that if she couldn't handle it well.

It'll affect my father.

By then, my father

may not take the Xu family back.

I heard that Old Master Fan

is not honest.

He's not only a playboy.

Anyone who appears in front of him,

he would...

I heard about something.

Old Master Fan

seems to be with

one of her maids...

Here's your tea.

Really?

There's more than one.

Here's your tea.

How many

has he sent?

Please enjoy.

At this age,

I don't think anyone's gonna get killed again.

Mrs. Xu loves her daughter so much.

How could she kill someone

to threaten her daughter?

Come on. Come on.

My lady.

Why are you here?

Old Master.

Master. My Lady.

Didn't I ask you to take care of Her Ladyship?

Why are you here?

Her Ladyship was worried about you,

so she asked me to follow you.

Nonsense.

Why are you still covering up for her?

Madam must be worried that

we leave her alone.

That's why she sent you to keep an eye.

Now that I'm back,

I'll take care of it.

Go back and let her rest assured.

Master, no.

Madam is...

Stop talking.

Go back to the Xu Mansion

and tell my words

to Her Ladyship.

Father,

Let me help you go upstairs to rest.

I...

Come to my room.

Tell me.

What's your relationship with Old Master?

My Lady.

You...

You...

How did you know?

You came to pick us up at the inn that day.

You had a lot on your mind and wanted to stop.

Today in the Xu Mansion,

I found something wrong with you too.

You're afraid

someone in the Xu family, right?

But this afternoon, I saw you

get along with Xu this afternoon.

That means you're afraid of Old Madam.

You weren't afraid of the old lady before.

Old Master went missing,

and you're scared now?

Is it hard to guess?

My Lady, please save me.

Does his disappearance

have anything to do with you?

No.

Maybe...

Yes.

What do you mean?

I can't tell you.

I dare not.

You asked me to save you,

but you didn't tell me the truth.

how can I help you?

My Lady.

My Lady, I'll tell you.

I... I'll tell you.

Will you help me if I tell you?

You tell me first.

Since we returned to the Xu Mansion,

the old lady has asked Madam

to accompany her every day.

The old lady doesn't want me

to follow you.

So she sent me

to wait on the Old Master.

At first,

I don't care who he is.

But...

Somehow,

I got the Old Master's attention.

He told me

when he came back from his trip,

he'll tell the old lady

he'd take me in.

Unexpectedly,

Old Master never came back.

They all said

it was Old Madam.

Because the Old Madam hated the Old Master

for drinking wine all day

and fooling around

with many maids.

So...

My Lady,

please save me.

If Old Madam finds out

about me and Old Master,

then the next one to be killed

might be me, My Lady.

So,

you also think

Old Master wasn't missing.

The Old Madam killed him?

I don't know.

I just suspected that...

My Lady,

please take me away.

If I keep staying here,

and if Old Madam

finds out,

they will beat me to death

or sell me to...

Where's

the Old Madam's maid, Mrs. Wang.?

The Xu family is in trouble.

And Mrs. Wang is not here.

Why are all

young maids?

Mrs. Wang suddenly disappeared.

The Old Madam only said

she went out to work.

I don't know anything else.

Other than taking you in,

what else did she give you?

He gave me five taels of silver.

I won't tell anyone

about you and the Old Master.

Since Guo's not here,

I can say that

I need someone to serve me.

She'll let you follow us for the time being.

But you have to

make your own decision.

Go back first.

Don't keep Her Ladyship waiting too long.

[Uncover the identity of this person. Get the information of Mowu Pavilion as soon as possible.]

Lord Han, I have something to report.

Come in.

Lord Han,

please go and see that lady.

What's wrong?

My stomach hurts.

Your stomach hurts?

Go get a doctor.

No, it's too late.

Go find a carriage

and take me to the county

to find the best doctor.

Don't worry.

My doctor

is very skilled.

He will be here in a minute.

There're doctors

following us?

Is it strange

to have a doctor

with me?

Your doctor

only knows skin wounds.

He won't be able to

treat my stomachache.

Find a carriage

and take me to the county.

It's far from the county.

You must have suffered

along the way.

It's okay. I can endure it.

I can hold on.

Okay.

Guards.

Yes.

Get the carriage ready.

Yes, Lord Han.

When will I recover?

It hurts so much.

Don't worry.

You have to wait

until the horse is full.

How long do we have to wait?

Why is the horse's stomach so big?

The horse is full.

Let's go.

Not now.

Why?

The roof of the carriage is broken.

They are fixing it.

Did you fix the carriage?

Probably.

Can we go now?

No.

Why not?

The horse had diarrhea.

Maybe the food it ate

was not clean.

Tell me everything you know.

Don't pretend to be sick.

I will let you go.

What do you want to know?

About Mowu Pavilion.

What is Mowu Pavilion?

I've never heard of it.

Since you don't want to tell me,

I can only

keep you here.

You...

What are you shouting at this hour?

Go, go, go.

Yes, yes, yes.

Go, go, go. Let's go.

It's them. Let's go.

The Fan family sent someone to do it.

Mother.

We can't go on like this.

Let me beg

my husband and Tumi.

She is good at law.

With her help,

she will clear your name.

She's not kind

and she had means.

The punishment of slap

was light.

Mrs. Xu is so hot-tempered?

Exactly.

The Old Madam got caught

drinking wine once.

She smashed the whole shop.

She didn't search all the shops

when she found out the Old Madam had been missing?

Well, I've never heard of it.

Waiter.

Okay.

Hey.

The customer wants wine.

Father.

You wanted to go out for a walk?

I've never been here.

I wanted to go out.

I thought you were going out

to investigate the Xu family.

I heard everything.

Why did you want to look into this?

The Old Madam clearly

didn't want us to get involved.

She even wanted us

to leave immediately.

Father, I'm just curious.

When I'm curious,

I want to figure it out.

It's like playing a game.

We're about to leave.

Please let me do it.

All right. All right.

Go. Go.

Thank you, Father.

Wait.

Don't go too far.

Come back early.

Be careful.

This is not Bianzhou.

Okay.

I'll get going.

Here.

Have you heard of

a case of Laishui

these two days?

No.

No.

Well,

What about the suicide case?

Did you? Never heard of it.

No.

Did the Yamen notice anything?

[Cement Facial Mask]

No.

[Laishui County Government]

Officer,

do you know

about the Xu family case?

No, no.

I've never heard of it.

If there's nothing else,

just leave.

Just go, miss.

May I ask

how to get to the place

you mentioned?

Go out and turn right.

Go that way.

Yes.

Okay, thank you.

Honey.

Father.

I was wrong.

It was my fault.

But it's already

to this point,

I beg you two.

For the sake of our relatives,

let Tumi save my mother.

You saw it yesterday.

Your mother had her own plan.

She didn't want us to get involved.

Now that you're here to ask us for a favor,

if we agree,

it'll be troublesome.

My mother is muddled.

Don't listen to her.

I'm not capable.

I can only beg you.

Please let Tumi

help me this time.

Now, my husband is

a ninth rank official.

And I'm pregnant with my husband's child.

If my mother goes to jail,

it will also affect his future.

Don't talk nonsense in front of my father.

Listen carefully.

Even if

I lose my job,

I don't want my daughter

to do this.

Dear.

Dear.

Dear.

Tumi, you are back.

I'm back, Grandfather.

Grandfather.

I heard what the Madam said

just now.

Don't take

what she said to heart.

Grandfather,

please calm down.

Since your father and I

knew that we might be disbanded,

I was very careful.

I'm afraid I might ruin this hope.

But the patrol tour

is very dangerous

and is very hard.

But in her eyes,

this is just a bargaining chip

for her family.

How disappointing.

Grandfather,

I think

we still have to deal with it.

Why?

You don't want me to help

because you think

the Old Madam won't be grateful.

And she also thinks

we take her weaknesses.

And you don't know

what will happen next.

But I think we should help.

What if

the Old Master

really had an accident?

And it really had something to do with the Old Madam.

No one will care

whether our families are close or not.

They will only say

how the Xu family is.

Our family is

at a critical moment.

we can't let others gossip.

So not only do we have to do this,

but also make Old Madam

can't pick on us.

Even so,

she doesn't want us

to help her.

I have an idea.
