A Girl Like Me

Episode 21

Shi’s Mansion

Grandfather!

Jin.

It concerns the Shi family’s reputation.

There is no place for you to speak.

There must be some misunderstanding.

Just ask Shi Feixian to come out

and we will know if there is any misunderstanding.

Your Shi family had the balls to do it,

why are you afraid to admit it?

Princess Ban,

you’re used to running wild in the capital.

It seems like no one can control you now.

You broke into my mansion today

and want to arraign my granddaughter.

Who gives you the power?

Court of Judicial Review

Court of Judicial Review Princess Ban has no right to arraign her.

Court of Judicial Review What about Court of Judicial Review?

Mr. Shi.

The Court of Judicial Review

has the sole right for investigation.

Please assist with my work

and let Miss Shi out for questions.

You took soldiers here

for the case or to humiliate me?

It’s an emergency.

Please pardon me.

Today Duke Ban was attacked.

The assassin said he’s hired by Miss Shi,

and gave me this as evidence.

If Miss Shi can prove that

she didn’t lose the two pearls she bought,

her name will be cleared.

Ridiculous!

Mr. Shi, it’s His Majesty’s order.

Please don’t make it hard for me.

It’s my daughter’s room.

How can you search it at will?

Just one question to her.

Why are you stopping us?

Princess Ban.

The search of her room by the Court

will impair her reputation.

As a girl,

you surely know the importance of it.

Do you mean

your sister’s reputation

is more important than my father’s life?

I...

You are so aggressive.

If Her Grace is wronged,

what are you gonna do?

If I get her wronged,

I’ll apologize to everyone.

If I’m right,

I’ll put all of you into prison!

Count Cheng’an, your wife is unreasonable

and you are no better than her.

You are really a disgrace

to all the scholars.

Why do you say so, Mr. Shi?

Filial piety is also the way of scholars.

No more arguing.

Your Grace.

That pearl is indeed the one I lost,

but I’ve never hired any assassin.

Do you believe me?

Whether you’re innocent or not,

the court will investigate it.

I don’t have the say.

You... You really want me to go to the Court?

The truth is to be found out.

Please assist us with it.

Tomorrow morning,

I will go to the court.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

I cannot be the Prime Minister!

Your Majesty!

Come on.

Rise, please.

Tell me.

How did you get hurt so badly?

Your Majesty.

I just became the Prime Minister,

and an assassin was hired to hurt my head!

I’ll get killed if it goes on like this!

Ridiculous!

Someone dared to

assassinate you under my nose!

Where is Liu Banshan, the Minister of Judicial Review?

Go! Summon him to me!

Don’t worry, Your Majesty.

I have an idea.

Why don’t you let Count Xie be Prime Minister?

I’ll be safe when he is attacked.

Count Xie?

Yes.

Won’t you vie with him?

No, not anymore. Your Majesty.

My life matters more, Your Majesty!

My aunt was gone not long ago

before such things happened.

Rest assured.

I’ll order the court to find it out

and uphold justice for you.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Alright. Alright.

Duke Jingting. You may go back and rest.

Yes. Thank you, Your Majesty.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Insightful and Honest

Why is she peeking at you?

Is she?

I only have you in my eyes.

I didn’t pay attention to her.

Who are you?

Mr. Liu, yesterday,

you went to my mansion to question me.

Don’t you know who I am?

Miss. Shi.

Do you know what I’m going to ask

about the case?

I do.

Is the pearl yours, Miss Shi?

Yes, it’s mine.

I lost it days ago.

Lost? Where did you lose it?

Your Grace.

Do you want me

to tell it here?

Just tell the truth, Miss Shi.

It was a pearl embroidered on my shoes.

The other day, I went to the west grove

and lost it there.

You seldom go out of your mansion.

Why did you go there?

For an appointment, of course.

Appointment? Who did you meet?

The culprit, certainly.

Yeah.

Miss Shi.

Any witness for your statement?

This is the invitation letter,

a material evidence.

The letter was written by Count Cheng’an.

Count Cheng’an?

Did Count Cheng’an meet her?

What was it?

You are the only one in my heart. See you at the west temple.

You may leave me alone.

Yes.

You are the only one in my heart. See you at the west temple.

Wait! Miss Shi.

You said he invited you by the letter,

yet he didn’t go there.

Why didn’t you go?

Hua, it’s not written by me.

Why should I go there?

You mean,

you would go if it’s written by you?

I... But...

I...

You are the only one in my heart. See you at the west temple.

Miss Shi, one more question.

There’s no signature on the letter.

Why are you so sure

it’s written by Count Cheng’an?

Because... Because...

Because I collect many

calligraphy and paintings of his,

and study them every day.

I’m not sure of others’ handwriting,

but I can surely

recognize his.

You are the only one in my heart. See you at the west temple.

It is your handwriting!

Hua, you don’t know about calligraphy.

Don’t jump to the conclusion.

Mr. Liu. You are a famous calligrapher.

Can you make a judgement?

Your Grace, I’ve checked it carefully.

It is yours.

Impossible!

Your Grace.

You do have feelings for me,

but you don’t dare to make it public.

As a woman, I’ve confessed it.

Are you still hiding it?

Listen to her.

Let’s see what happened.

Hua, you must trust me.

It has nothing to do with me.

There’s no way I could do that!

Count Cheng’an, you deceived my sister.

Now, you are lying to Her Grace

in public!

Shut up!

Your Grace.

I will not allow him to be close to you.

I mean you shut up.

It’s between Count Cheng’an and me.

I don’t want anyone else to step in.

I’ve eaten out.

Give me another pack. Come on.

Silence!

The case will be retried later.

Guards.

Aye.

Take Shi Feixian to the back hall.

Aye.

Wait.

Mr. Liu.

The case has nothing to do with my sister.

Why don’t you release her?

Calm down, Mr. Shi.

His Majesty ordered me to look into it.

All people concerned will be detained.

Your sister...

Count Cheng’an, you’ll be detained, too.

Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu.

News updated!

Count Cheng’an loves Miss Shi for long.

The engagement with Princess Ban is fake.

Cut it out. Your news is out of date.

I’ve long heard that

Count Cheng’an loves Miss Shi,

but her brother disagrees.

Is it also true that Mr. Shi loves Princess Ban?

Melon

Melon Of course.

So, you know,

Count Cheng’an doesn’t love Princess Ban.

He... He flirted her

just to irrigate Mr. Shi Jin.

I’m completely confused.

Who loves whom then?

Melon I got it.

Count Cheng’an loves Mr. Shi Jin.

Shut up!

Your Highness! Your Highness!

Get out of my way!

Your Highness, I know you are anxious.

But she’s in the Court of Judicial Review.

How will you save her?

I’ll beg my father and mother for it.

Or I will go to the Ban family

and let Duke Jingting drop the charge.

Given your relationship with Princess Ban,

I don’t think it will work.

Then I’ll tear down the Court.

I won’t allow my sister to suffer.

Your recklessness

will get His Majesty suspicious of you!

What should I do then?

You proposed the plan.

Now you are stopping me.

Ban Huai didn’t die, while Feixian got in trouble.

If anything happens to her,

you’ll be punished!

To save Miss Shi,

you can’t make it this way.

Do you have an idea?

Darn it, Count Cheng’an!

You broke into my mansion behind His Majesty’s back!

He delivered a fake edict.

Sir, only a report to His Majesty

can get him killed.

No.

Feixian is still a suspect.

A reckless report

will get us stuck in trouble.

It’s complicated and confusing.

Rong Xia got himself in custody.

Is it his plot?

It occurred right after Qizhou’s issue.

I can’t make out

the inner connection either.

Always assume the worst.

Sir, you mean...

Tell our allies in the court not to take action.

The letter written in blood

shall not be obtained by the Ban family.

-Sorry. -Sorry.

What are you apologizing for?

Your Grace.

Did you really have feelings for Feixian?

Don’t mistake it, Hua.

I apologized

for getting both of us in it

and making it a farce.

I’m sorry for getting you upset.

I trust you, certainly.

It’s unexpected in the law court.

I just lost my head.

Do you mean it?

Um.

Then why did you...

Stop... Stop it.

I came to tell you something.

I thought a lot after I went back.

And I suppose

something is fishy.

I don’t think

Shi Feixian is the culprit.

You’re right. Look.

If she is the culprit,

why did she try to assassinate my father?

I should’ve been her target.

I agree with you.

The assassin hirer and the letter forger

could be accomplices,

or the same person.

The purpose

was to sow discord between us,

and the Shi family.

We got tricked. What to do?

We can do nothing

until they give the game away.

Now I am not by your side.

The top priority

is to protect yourself

and your father.

Without chicken, I’ll make do with duck.

Speak. What do you want?

I’m caring about your father

out of kindness.

Xie Wanyu.

We’ve been friends for long.

Stop being so defensive.

Don’t you feel bad?

I’ll cut to the chase then.

Truth to be told,

I’m here

to plead for Miss Feixian.

That wasn’t her doing.

Your sister wronged her.

I’ve never seen anyone

so silly as you.

What’s the relationship

between Jiang Luo and her?

Have you forgotten it?

And you even plead for her.

Don’t talk nonsense.

It’s not like that.

I’ve figured it out.

Husband is nothing but an identity.

But Feixian

is my best friend.

I cannot stand by.

Marriage is predestined.

Both of you are around her.

What... What do you mean?

Forget it.

Why give me the head?

You need some brains.

You...!

Guess who I am?

Jiang Luo, stop it.

Have a seat, please.

Your Highness.

We were intimate in childhood.

Why are we estranged now?

Luo. What brings you here?

Do you mean

you don’t want to see me?

No, I mean,

I didn’t expect

someday

you and I

could be so intimate again.

I’m overjoyed.

Alright. What you said

is really touching.

I’m greatly blessed

to be your brother.

Jiang Luo.

Do you feel unwell?

Do you need to see the physician?

No, no need.

I heard you suffered a disaster.

I was anxious, so I came.

Disaster?

Don’t you know it?

In the capital, it’s rumored that

the Crown Princess’s family

plotted to kill Duke Jingting.

Shi Feixian has been imprisoned.

Jiang Luo. You must hear it wrong.

She just went for some questions,

not being convicted.

Zhang, the Shi family is high-ranking.

And you are their son-in-law.

How come you don’t worry at all?

It’s not my business.

Why should I?

Zhang.

If your wife is too worried about it,

it will influence

your relationship with her.

That’s why I come to remind you.

Thanks for reminding me timely.

Or else, I couldn’t have thought of it.

But... What... What am I to do?

Let me think.

How about a gift to them?

Go to console Duke Jingting?

I... I’ll see to it now.

Ban’s Mansion

What’s going on?

Didn’t they know I’d come today?

Your Highness.

The notice and gifts were delivered this morning.

But they said...

What did they say?

They said they didn’t deserve them

and wouldn’t accept them.

The case concerned the Shi family.

Crown Prince and you shouldn’t intervene.

Ridiculous.

Ban Hua broke into Shi’s mansion.

I didn’t hold her accountable,

yet they dare to refuse to see me.

Calm down, Your Highness.

Never mind.

Get the gifts off the carriage.

Now that I’ve come,

they must accept it

whether they want it or not.

Your Grace! Madam! Bad news!

Crown Princess is breaking in with others!

She comes for Shi Feixian, I guess.

I’m going to stop her.

Let her in.

I’m gonna see

what the Shi family is up to.

Crown Princess has arrived!

Come and welcome Her Highness!

No bother.

Since Princess Ban is Crown Prince’s cousin,

that makes her my cousin.

No etiquette for families.

Your Highness comes.

It’s our great honor.

I’m here to apologize for my sister.

Do you admit she’s guilty?

She incurred the rumor and hurt Count Cheng’an and you.

She is indeed guilty.

I got you some gifts.

Please accept them.

I cannot accept them.

What?

Did the rumor

estrange you from Count Cheng’an?

A rumor

doesn’t bother me at all.

There is more than one thing

that your family should apologize for.

My father got attacked for no reason.

I couldn’t just accept them.

How dare you

be so rude to Her Highness?

How dare you

disrespect Her Grace?

You...!

The Court will definitely find out

the assassin hirer.

These gifts are not from the Shi family.

They are from Crown Prince.

You really got me puzzled.

Since they’re from Crown Prince,

why are you bringing Shi family up?

Better make friends than make enemies.

Princess Royal is gone.

The relationship between our two families

relies on us to maintain.

Don’t forget it, Princess Ban.

Daye is no longer

what it used to be.

You are not here to deliver gifts,

but to push us to drop the charge, right?

I will cut to the chase.

Before my father’s attacker is found out,

you can do nothing,

neither Crown Prince

nor Prime Minister Shi himself.

How bold!

How dare you talk to me like this!

Kneel!

You want me to kneel?

I’m the Crown Princess.

My name is in the royal ancestral book.

Why can’t you kneel to me?

It’s you

who shall kneel to my grandmother,

Princess Royal Dening

of Daye.

You...!

Hurry and go back to your mansion.

Don’t throw your weight around here.

This is the exquisite kettle of Ru Ware,

one and the only.

Your Highness! Is my dignity

less important than a kettle?

Suyue. You’re more important, of course.

But

it’s no use smashing it.

If you really value me more,

how can you stand that I’m humiliated?

If it’s known by people,

it would be a great shame to me.

Suyue.

Ban Hua is actually nice.

Alright. Stop crying.

I promise whatever you want.

How is it?

Report it to His Majesty and punish her.

Well...

We’re families.

That’s not good, is it?

Harmony matters the most.

All things prosper in harmony.

Your Highness, you are so weak.

Even the Ban family

shows no respect to us.

How will you be the leader of ministers?

It’s not that serious.

It is!

The Ban family tries to bring us down

over and over again.

Who knows what they are up to?

Your Highness, if my family falls,

who else can help you ascend the throne?

Without my family,

you’ll lose the kingdom.

Watch your tongue, Suyue.

Did she really say so?

Yes, Your Majesty.

She said the exact words.

Absurd!

Without the Shi family, Crown Prince couldn’t be enthroned?

Crown Prince is conferred by me.

What is it to do with Shi Chonghai?

Calm down, Your Majesty.

Crown Princess must’ve had a slip of her tongue.

Your Majesty, please don’t...

A woman

dares to intervene the state affairs.

How can she

be the queen of the state in the future?

Your Majesty, are you going to...

Father, are you busy?

I have something to talk to you.

Come in.

Father, you are occupied.

Thanks for meeting me.

I appreciate it.

What’s the matter?

I wonder

if the Court of Judicial Review

can release Shi Feixian.

I... I’m just asking.

It’s fine if you disagree.

You good-for-nothing!

How come I have a son like you!

You are the Crown Prince of the state

before you are the Shi family’s son-in-law.

Calm down! Father!

I... I didn’t mean that.

How should I calm down?

The only son of your great-aunt

got attacked!

You don’t go after the assassin,

yet you come to plead for the Shi family?

Father! Father!

I... I’m wrong.

Don’t be mad, Father

Not mad,

I’m just sad.

Even Crown Princess can order you around.

You’re timid and cowardly,

yet I’ll have to hand over the kingdom

to you.

-Your Majesty! -Father!

Your Majesty!

-Your Majesty! -Father! Father!

Imperial physician!

Father, are you alright?

Your Majesty.

How is His Majesty?

Your Highness.

His Majesty suffers poor blood flow due to overwork.

He could have a stroke.

Stroke?

Please tell me.

How to treat this disease?

I’ll prescribe medicines to pacify his mind.

His Majesty needs more rest.

Don’t anger him once again.

I understand.

Physician Chen. Keep it a secret.

Do not leak it out.

Mother, it’s my fault.

Hadn’t I got him mad, Father wouldn’t...

Keep your voice down, Zhang.

Let your father have a good rest.

The storm is coming.

We all need to prepare for it.

Miss Feixian.

Are you alright?

You are the only one in my heart. See you at the west temple.

What brings you here?

Feixian, I went to beg the Ban family

to release you.

But they refused.

I’m so useless.

Watching you suffer here,

I cannot do anything to help.

I’m really pleased

for your kindness.

Also, for others,

it’s a place of pain.

But not for me.

What do you mean?

Since I came to the Court,

I’ve burned my bridges.

Whatever the cost is,

I’ll be with Count Cheng’an.

Although it’s a prison,

for me,

it’s the nearest place to Count Cheng’an.

Seeing the same moon with him,

and having the same food,

I don’t feel pain

at all.

Feixian, even now,

you still think

the letter was written by Count Cheng’an?

I’m sure

that is his handwriting.

Come on. Let’s drink.

Come on, drink.

Let’s play a game.

Finger-guessing, alright?

Come on.

-Six! -Two!

You lose! Drink!

Come on. Go on.

-Three. -Eight.

-Six. -Two.

-Six. -Eight.

-Eight. -Two.

-Five. -Six.

-Three. -Six.

Young Master, looks like

the prison is more comfortable than home.

Ban Hua arranged this for me.

I told her it’s unnecessary.

She said I was not used to a prison,

and insisted on it.

I come here today

to tell you something.

You asked me to

keep an eye on that assassin.

Last night, some skilled masters

really came to the prison.

I talked with them

and then tailed them.

Take a guess. Who ordered them to come?

Xie Chongjin.

Do you know it?

Why did you ask me to keep an eye on it then?

A letter was forged by my handwriting.

Then Shi Feixian was asked out for an appointment.

The assassin attacked Prime Minister

and deliberately left clues

so that Hua broke into Shi’s mansion.

It’s meticulously planned.

Other than Xie Chongjin,

no one else can do that in Daye.

Young Master Xie

made so many efforts to do these.

What’s his purpose?

To kill someone with others’ hand is his usual trick.

Kill the target with no blood shedding

and get away with it.

Du Jiu.

Who is guarding

the assassin’s cell?

Our men have all been withdrawn.

Only the guards from the Court, I suppose.

Go ahead! He’s in danger!

Why did you frame my sister?

I didn’t.

No way could she hire an assassin.

The only possibility is that you are lying.

You tailed her to the Red Earth Temple,

stole her pearl,

and pinned the assassination on her.

Believe it or not,

it’s Shi Feixian

who gave me the pearl and ordered the assassination.

Who ordered you?

You sow the discord between the Shi family and Ban family.

What’s your motive?

Your sister committed the crime,

and you want me to be the scapegoat.

I won’t!

Shi Feixian is the culprit!

You won’t kill me, will you?

You think I dare not kill you?

Go ahead. Kill me,

and your sister will not leave alive.

Court of Judicial Review

Mr. Liu.

Citronella fragrance is in the letter paper,

which is only sold in one shop in capital.

I’ve brought the shop owner to you.

Ask him yourself, please.

Is the paper from your shop?

You are the only one in my heart. See you at the west temple.

Sir, the paper is indeed from my shop.

But Count Cheng’an

has never bought things in my shop.

Sir, please release Count Cheng’an.

Calm down, Your Grace.

The paper can rule out his suspicion,

but it can’t show the real culprit.

Other than the paper, there is ink.

The culprit focused on the handwriting,

but he missed the details.

It’s not difficult to find out the culprit.

It’s intelligent of you. Thanks.

I’ll look into it right now.

It’s just that

to clear Miss Shi’s name,

more direct evidences are needed.

I understand. I’ll figure a way out.

Sir! Bad news!

Mr. Shi Jin got into the prison angrily!

He is killing him!

What?

Mr. Shi.

Mr. Shi, chill out.

His Majesty ordered to find out the truth.

Please don’t kill him.

My master said

the assassin is the key to the case.

He can’t get hurt or starved.

Please wait a moment

if you mean to interrogate him.

Is that the food for prisoners?

Does my sister also eat this?

She’s a prisoner, too.

It’s already good for her to have food.

Shut up!

It’s you!

Mr. Shi killed the assassin!

Mr. Shi, you’re eager to save your sister,

but don’t hurt the innocent.

You’ve killed a man.

Don’t do it again.

You mistook it.

He’s killed by that guard!

Your Grace! Seize him!

He’s the culprit!

How is he?

He’s dead.

Who could be so vicious

to use poison?

Fude House.

Fude House?

Yes.

Fude House is the top organization of assassins.

It cost a big price to hire them.

Was my father’s attacker

also from Fude House?

It doesn’t make sense.

Xie Chongjin is an ordinary official.

How could he have connections with assassins?

Whatever he’s up to,

just capture and interrogate him.

Don’t be reckless, Hua.

Xie Chongjin is crafty.

It’s not so simple as it seems.

We should wait.

The assassin has been silenced. Wait for what?

As long as

we make public Chongjin’s dirty deeds,

everything will be clear.

But he’s backed up by Prince Luo.

Shi Feixian is backed up by Crown Prince.

Rest assured, Your Grace.

I know what to do.

I’ll take him by surprise.
