Innocent Until Proven Guilty

"Speaking of knowing things…" Kyle said slowly, "You still haven't given me a chance to tell my story." "I know," said Andrea. "I was having too much fun speculating. Finding you like this is a gift, and I don't want to tear the wrapping off all at once. ‘Building up the anticipation makes it better.’" Kyle blinked again, then gave a quiet snort of recognition at his own words being thrown back at him. "So what is your speculation?" Kyle asked. "Oh I don't know, probably something utterly disappointing. Did they pick you up for speeding on the way to the farmers market? I guess that wouldn't explain the uh…" she gestured at his injury again. "It wouldn't explain that now, would it. Oh, I know! You got into a fight over the last piece of bluefin!" Kyle just shook his head slightly. "No? I guess it's too much to hope you did something really exciting like rob a bank—You're not secretly a cat burglar are you, Kyle? Lose your balance breaking into an art gallery? No…?" Kyle looked unamused. "Very funny, Chuckles, would you mind taking this a little more seriously?" "Of course," said Andrea. "Very serious for a lawyer to have been arrested. You could be disciplined. Disbarred! Why, we might not see each other in court anymore. Wouldn't that be a shame." "Wouldn't it though," replied Kyle. "So that's the kind of guy you think I am? Stealing fine art and fighting in fish markets?” Andrea pondered some more. "I know!" she exclaimed. "Did you get into a fight with someone's boyfriend? Did it turn out that you were your young lady's bit on the side, and you ended up having a domestic dispute?" Kyle winced. "Is that it?!" Andrea had been teasing, but it seems like she had touched a nerve. To whatever degree Kyle had seemed like he'd been playing along, even as worn down as he was, that last remark had left him deflated. Kyle hung his head. "It wasn't like that…" "Oh sure, like you haven't been collecting notches on your bedposts." "I'M not like that." "You're not? That's not what your reputation says, out there collecting numbers and breaking hearts. I heard that you were a real ladykil–" "Andrea! I'm not–" Kyle shouted, grabbing her hands. His hands were strong, and his grip so tight it almost hurt. His expression so intense, frustrated and hurt and… scared? Andrea knew she had been twisting the knife a little into something that bothered him, but what had caused this reaction? It was only for a moment, then Kyle seemed to catch himself and let go. He slumped back in his chair and slid his shackled hands back below the table. Andrea leaned back as well, adding to the distance, and folded her arms, no longer smiling. She glanced at the duress button out of the corner of her eye. If Kyle had kept holding her as tightly as he had been, she wouldn't have even been able to reach it. "I think we're ready for storytime now," she said seriously. “I think you had better start at the punchline. What have you been charged with, Mr Wynn?" Kyle took a deep breath before he raised his head once more. "Murder, Ms Mason. First Degree Murder." *** Andrea Mason, a defense attorney who cares more about justice and protecting her clients than just winning cases. But the one man she hates to lose to is her rival, the arrogant prosecutor, Kyle Wynn. Kyle represents everything Andi hates about unscrupulous win-at-all-costs lawyers, and for years they have traded arguments in the courtroom and barbs in the hallways. Their paths cross again when they find themselves on a high-profile murder trial. As much as Andrea might despise Kyle, she can’t believe it when HE is charged with the horrific murder. But she is even more shocked when he asks for her to represent him at trial… *** #SLOWBURN #STRONGFL #CRIME #MURDER #FLIRTY #ROMANCE If you want to know what to expect, check the reviews! ฅ^-ﻌ•^ฅ Burrito says to join here: https://discord.gg/qr7eUnxT2F

The Shame of Jingkang
The shame of Jingkang happened in the second year of Jingkang of Emperor Qinzong of Song Dynasty (1127). At that time, the Jin army went south to capture the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Tokyo (now Kaifeng). The background of this incident was the long-standing conflict and game between Song and Liao in terms of geography and politics, as well as the complicated relationship between Song and Jin. For example, Song and Jin had once established an "alliance on the sea" to jointly destroy Liao. In the process, the Jin army saw the weakness of the Song army. The process of the humiliation of Jingkang was very tragic. When the Jin army arrived at the city, Emperor Huizong of Song abdicated the throne to Emperor Qinzong of Song. The Jin army arrived at Kaifeng twice and finally captured Kaifeng in January 1127. They captured more than 3,000 people, including Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong, the concubines of the harem, and the ministers and nobles of the imperial court. At the same time, they plundered the public and private savings in Dongjing City. The savings in the treasury of the Northern Song Dynasty were emptied, and the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed. In this process, the Song Dynasty royal family suffered humiliation. Song Qinzong personally went to the Jin soldiers 'tent to sue for peace, knelt down in humiliation and was imprisoned. The Jin demanded a huge amount of compensation. The Northern Song Dynasty emptied the national treasury and plundered the people, but they were still not satisfied. In the end, the princesses, princesses, and other young girls were clearly marked with prices. The Song Dynasty women who were caught were ravaged by the Jin soldiers on their way north. After arriving in the Jin Kingdom, some of the women were sent to the "laundry yard" for the Jin nobles to play with. After the Hui and Qin Emperors were kidnapped to the north, they were first imprisoned in the Five Nation City and then tortured to death. This incident was a major humiliation in the history of the Song Dynasty. Yue Fei, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty who resisted the Jin Dynasty, mentioned in "The River Is Red" that "the humiliation of Jingkang has yet to be avenged. When will the hatred of the officials be extinguished?" They expressed their grief and indignation over this humiliating incident.

Do things without shame, live without shame
" Do things without shame, conduct oneself without shame " expressed a noble moral standard and positive attitude in dealing with others. In terms of doing things, being worthy of others meant following the principles of fairness, justice, and integrity when dealing with affairs and treating others. For example, he would not use improper means to obtain benefits in the workplace competition, and he would maintain a sincere and responsible attitude towards his colleagues and partners to ensure that his actions would not bring unwarranted harm or loss to others. This reflected the value orientation of respecting the rights and interests of others, following ethics, and maintaining good interpersonal relationships. In terms of being a person, having a clear conscience emphasized the persistence of one's heart. People would face all kinds of choices and temptations in their lives. For example, when faced with difficulties and setbacks, they would not avoid responsibility, actively overcome it, stick to their beliefs and principles, and listen to their inner voices. It was a source of self-discipline and inner strength, helping to maintain oneself in a complex social environment, realize self-worth, and find the meaning of life. This concept reflected a person's self-requirements in terms of morality and values. It was helpful in building positive and healthy interpersonal relationships and achieving personal growth and development. It was also a life attitude worth advocating.

The correct explanation for shame
The correct explanation for shame was guilt and regret for one's mistakes. Shame is a psychological feeling caused by violating social ethics or self-values. Shame could also be understood as a synonym of shame and shame. There was a related description in the Biography of Liu Xuan in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. For example, Gengshi was the emperor, standing in the south and facing the ministers. Yang Su was weak and timid. He was ashamed and sweated. He raised his hand and could not speak. Shame could also be compared with other words, such as pride, pride, glory, and so on.
