"...Treat him like you would my brother."
"Of course not. After all, I am very clear about these things. Since I am an outsider in your family, so..."
"Look, here we go again. To put it bluntly, you never considered me a member of your family. Am I right? But I treated her as my own mother."
"Who are you talking about? My mother?"
"Right. What else? Who else do you think it would be?"
"So that's how it is. But Cao Hanhui, you also understand that in the past, besides listening to your brother's lectures, I devoted myself to studying hairpins. I really don't know much about these social customs. You should understand me."
"If I didn't understand you, I wouldn't have played with you for so long. So, I've had enough. Everything you do is just for your own benefit. If that's the case, then just live on your own. You don't need to have friends."
"That's not the case, Cao Hanhui. Wait for me for a moment. If it doesn't work, I'll go with you later. How do you feel about that?"
"You mean you want to travel through time with me? To investigate my brother's case? Then you can avenge my brother?"
"Cao Hanhui, you've never been in society and have always been in a very isolated situation. You don't understand how many people come here for you. You must not let them down, otherwise, their mood will be particularly down the whole day. Therefore, I must make sure that this hairpin festival is a good one this time. As for the others, I can only do it and see, because I don't know what to do at all. I am a little different from my previous reckless self. Now I have more things to consider. And if I suddenly say that it was the Queen who did it, what will she think? We will be of no use except for being beheaded. Besides, I am living so happily here now. I even got into college. I will definitely have a very, very good time, so..."
"So you've forgotten your roots? You don't want to go back?"
"That's not what I meant, Cao Hanhui. Why do you always misunderstand what I say? I was so upset when the girl from my dorm left just now, but seeing you suddenly appear and come to my aid was like an angel descending upon me. I never thought you were just here to settle a score. But I'm just your friend. You're expecting too much of me. I'm not a lawyer. How can I help your brother solve his case?"
"But you know a lawyer, the one who traveled back to the Ming Dynasty. He's so powerful, and you're familiar with him. Otherwise, how could you have brought him back? So, you definitely have a way, but you just don't do it yourself."
"You're wrong, Cao Hanhui. If I'm really like what you said, wouldn't that be a bit too much? The lawyer has been contacting me so often, afraid that I'll bother him again. Besides, after his wife came last time, she had a big misunderstanding about me, so I can't do that. Do you understand all this?"
"I don't understand, I don't understand, and I don't want to understand. Anyway, I'll give you one last chance. From now on, I'll wait here. If you come with me before 12 o'clock, then we'll be fine. If you don't leave, then I'll go find the lawyer myself. From now on, we'll sever all ties and have no further contact..."
