Miss Chun Is a Litigator 春家小姐是讼师 Episode 8

On the day of departure, Han Wuwei suddenly came over mysteriously, saying that he wanted to give Tumi something. After all, Han Wuwei was his father's boss. On the one hand, Tumi was worried that his father would have to pay back his debts, and on the other hand, he really didn't want to have too much involvement with Han Wuwei, so he directly rejected his gift. Han Wuwei was a little sad, and reminded Tumi not to regret it in the future. Tumi's tone was firm, and she said bluntly that she would definitely not regret it.

While resting at the Weizhou post station, it was raining lightly, and Tumi saw that Kang Zhengyuan was about to go out, and thought he was going to inspect. But Kang Zhengyuan told Tumi that he would patrol the prison for the emperor, and if those officials did not cooperate, they would be executed. Hearing this, Tumi was thoughtful, and the emperor was furious, laying down millions of corpses. Perhaps this is the prerequisite for the implementation of the law today.

When Tumi returned to the room, she found the gift from Han Wuwei. Seeing a large box full of law books, Tumi was ecstatic and very happy. Afterwards, she hurriedly sent a thank you note to Kang Zhengyuan and Han Wuwei. At night, Tumi sneaked out to play, unexpectedly, she tripped over something and fell to the ground. Fortunately, Han Wuwei arrived in time, so Tumi didn't stay in the mountain to feed the wild animals. After returning, Tumi worried that she would be sent back to Bianzhou by her father, so she hastily followed Han Wuwei's instructions and pretended to be pitiful.

After resting in the station for many days, Kang Zhengyuan finally called Tumi over to check the file. Tumi was very happy, and sat down for a whole day. One of the cases caught Tumi's attention. The person who was sentenced was a twenty-year-old widow, Mrs. Zhou, who lived with her mother-in-law Wu. However, Mrs. Wu suddenly hanged herself overnight, and Mrs. Zhou also suddenly surrendered to the Yamen, saying that she had a dispute with her mother-in-law yesterday, but the neighbors did not hear any movement. Besides, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Wu have always had a harmonious relationship, and Mrs. Wu is not by nature violent and paranoid. If it is said that she hanged herself just because of a dispute with her daughter-in-law, no one would believe it.

After getting Kang Zhengyuan's approval, Tumi hurried to Mrs. Zhou's house to investigate. But the gate of the courtyard has been sealed by the government, so Tumi can only climb the wall with bare hands. It's just that she is a young lady in a boudoir after all, and she fell down hard as soon as she climbed up the wall. It was just this fall that made her discover some clues - there was a man's footprints under the wall. Tumi imagined herself as that man, and slowly walked into Mrs. Zhou's house to reenact the scene.

Tu Mi then rushed to the morgue and asked Wu Zuo to examine Wu's body carefully. After getting ready, Tumi called Kang Zhengyuan and began to argue. Tumi has reason and evidence, saying that Wu did not hang himself but was murdered. After listening to Tumi's words, Mrs. Zhou thought about it, and then told Tumi everything she knew. Wu's legs were damp, and Mrs. Zhou would send her hot water to scald her feet every day before going to bed. Just a few days before Wu's death, Mrs. Zhou saw Wu and a man pushing and shoving, and suspected that it was Wu's lover. In order to preserve Wu's reputation, Mrs. Zhou told a big lie, insisting that she was mad at her.

Tumi told Mrs. Zhou that Wu would take her embroidery to sell in the market on weekdays, and then buy something from her younger brother Wu Yong's shop to go home. Unexpectedly, Wu Yong was so lazy that he lost the shop D, and then went to ask Wu for money. And the footprints under the corner of the wall are no different from Wu Yong's. Although the truth has come to light, Tumi always feels uncomfortable. In order to keep the name of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhou did not hesitate to sacrifice her own life. Is this the destiny of a woman? Tumi couldn't figure out why.

After the case of Mrs. Zhou was over, a group of people set off for Jizhou. As soon as he arrived at the border of Jizhou, a man hurried forward, begging Kang Zhengyuan to avenge himself. The man's name was Liu Erlang, a soldier on the border, and it was his uncle Wang Dazhuang who he wanted to sue. Liu Erlang had just returned home from the army a few days ago, and lost two of his cows for no reason, while Wang Dazhuang's yard unexpectedly had many more cows for no reason.
