The Governess asks the Governess to help her find out what's going on. She says that she's sure that Lady Xue plotted something back then, but she doesn't know what it was. She tells her that before she married Prime Minister Xue, she used to call her mistresses "messes" . When she married him, she knew that he was going to be her husband, not her father's husband. She then died suddenly, and her father married then her mother died suddenly. She thanks someone for escorting her to safety. She wonders how she could have killed her mother without a hitch. She thinks that her mother and Lady Zhao never met before, so they couldn't have killed each other. She asks if she can go back and tell him what happened, and he says that he'll do it if she puts her ear up near him for a while.
