The Return of the Princess

Episode 15's

“This boy, he is the only witness who can explain the chronology of his occurrence. You promised us you'd tell them the truth not now, tell them what happened!” with a slightly nervous feeling of even making his hands sweat, the boy began to explain what had happened

“That book. . .that book does belong to this lady, Judge. I stole it when we met at the Bordil Baihe House. I. .I did it because my mother was very sick and even dying and she needed immediate help. I'm sorry Judge, I'm sorry miss, I really had to do it, forgive me!” obviously stammering. Immediately prostrate to admit his mistake and ask for forgiveness

“Already, you don't need to do this!” yueji's heart could not bear to see the child prostrate in front of Judge Guan and apologize to him, then help the child to get back on his feet.

“Judge Guan, you've heard this child's statement yourself right? In that case, can I ask for the book back and take our sister away from here?” without further ado expressed his wish

“Miss Yi Mei, why are you in such a hurry, there are still a few more questions you should answer. Although the law in this country is based on a confession, but that does not mean I just believe in the statement of the child you brought.”

“Before that. . .Guards, get the boy into the cell. He'll be hand-whiped thirty times!”

“Please. . .please don't imprison me! My mother is sick at home, no one will take care of her if I'm in jail. Please Judge Guan, give me a chance I promise I won't do it again.

“You have admitted your guilt, so the law must be enforced, right? Take her!”

“But Judge Guan, wait! I really couldn't leave my mother alone, her tears broke when she found out she was going to be punished and left her sick mother alone at home

“Judge Guan, I request that this child be released on the basis of benevolent generosity of the perpetrator (there are several corporal punishments commonly used in mainland China, such as whipping, imprisonment, exile, and death. There is a principle of relief that follows it covers eight things, such as blood relations, motives for evil, and,

the benevolence of the culprit, the ability of the culprit, the reward of the past, the status of nobility, friendship and diligent character) he did so forcefully because of his urgent circumstances. Indeed, this principle applies after the perpetrator has become a prisoner, but the victim can also give a statement not to imprison him, is not it?” yueji defended the boy who stole the book

“Nona Yueji, my question to you is not over yet and has not even determined who the original owner is? What right do you have to use that principle? Are you acknowledging this book as yours?”

“I. .”It's harder than I imagined

“No! The book was not hers. .” said Yi Mei in denial who made her two sisters simultaneously look at her and feel astonished by her confession

Why did Brother Yi Mei say that? What is he planning?

Yi Mei and Yi Cao finally came to rescue Yueji from her predicament. When asked about the original owner of the book, Yi Mei denied that Yueji was not the real owner. Why did he say that and what would happen next. . .

“Interesting once. Why do you confess that this book is yours, Miss Yueji?” Judge Guan tried to corner the three girls

“I. .” Yueji was speechless at the statement from her brother, and Yi Mei suddenly said something that made Judge Guan distract her from Yueji

“My sister lent it. We're brothers here, whoever it belongs to is still in our hands then it's not a problem. Because my sister said if she liked the book, then my sister allowed me to take the book with her”

*He's turning Judge Guan's attention to Yi Cao's brother. True, the book is a secret that no one should know. If anyone has seen it, it can only hide the painter who painted it and it will still make it a secret. So because of this Yi Cao's brother covered his face, so that no one would know what the painter looked like.*The interpretation is in your mind

“Soudari? What do you mean is the girl wearing the veil next to you?” his focus shifted to Yi Cao

“True Mr Judge!”

“Sorry Judge Guan, he has a scar on his face. So he can't open his veil”

“It's okay, I guarantee no one will denounce or make fun of him here. So now, are you willing to let go and let me see your face?” approaching Yi Cao

“Judge Guan, For women to have a scar is a disgrace. Let alone in the face, even in other parts of the body if seen it will cause a negative view on him. So, please Judge Guan don't force my sister to do things that would be embarrassing for her”

“Judge Guan, I think what he said was true. Besides this case is actually related to the violence committed by Miss Yueji and the theft by this child, why do you even keep asking about the book?” zhao Lantian said propped up

A difficult decision is like a simalakama. . .Even if the book is successful I get, I still will not escape punishment for committing violence against others. . .

“Um, that's because. . .we have to know first the pretext of who is right. Wasn't it the beginning of the dispute as a result of this book. If the words of these girls were true that the reason for the beating was simply because he wanted his book back, wouldn't this mean that he was just doing a defense so that he would make his punishment will be

lighter? But if on the contrary, that Mr. Yutong's words are correct, then this girl has committed persecution and her punishment will be more severe for sure. After all, did not Miss Yi Cao who claimed to be the original owner of this book want to release him on the basis of the benevolence of the perpetrator, even if it is proven that this book is indeed hers”

I felt familiar with this peony-marked painting, so I had to defend it to recall what was in my gut feeling. If what I think is true, maybe this will be a big piece of news that will definitely benefit me. The evil thoughts of Judge Guan

“What Judge Guan said is true. Police Chief Zhao, we need to know in advance who the original owner of the book was in order for Judge Guan to know the facts and be able to establish the correct punishment

“Alright, if it really has to be done, I have an idea. Let me just say it” Zhao Lantian

“Oh, please!” Judge Guan

“What if it shows its painting ability? If indeed this veiled girl was the real owner then she should not have been much different from the one in the book. The ability to paint people here is very rare but each also has differences. I think, that's the way

in order to prove it.” At his suggestion it made the position of Yi Cao cornered because it was not he who drew it, but Yueji.

I had expected that they would not let go of this just like that. .benak Yi Mei

“How is this? You got any other plans?” finally Yi Cao let out his voice despite only whispering to Yi Mei

“What if I can explain in physical detail about the book?”

“Hmm. .?”

“The book is a very special book, specially made by our parents and we are sure that it is only one in this world. Not only the size is larger than other books because it will be used to paint, the surface texture is also rougher but has a brighter color than the other books

ordinary book. The cover was made using animal skin and soaked with Chinese girlfriend flowers for days so that the aroma was more fragrant. You can check what I said earlier. If all that's true, can my brother not have to paint again to prove his ownership?”  defense from Yueji

Will Judge Guan release them and return the book? Gysheok.
