The next morning, the two young women go for a walk. They talk about the events of the previous day. Anqiao asks why the prince wanted to speak to her, and the young woman says that he wants to talk to her because he is a teacher and she is a student. She tells him that she has just gotten married and that she does not owe the prince any money. She says that she is not worried about the money, because she already has a job and she has no need to worry about it anymore. When she asks why she did not meet the prince alone, she says that they talked about work and that things will not happen any more. She asks him to take her to a job, and he agrees.
