The chapter opens with a discussion of yun na's pregnancy, which has been going on for three months. The narrator asks if yun is trying to find out the gender of her child. She replies that she is like her father, who passed away when she was a teenager. Susanna, on the other hand, was brought up by her own father. She is a good woman, the narrator says, and she even selected his wedding dress for their wedding. The chapter ends with the narrator asking if he can book a room to have dinner with one of his business guests. He says that he has to go to celebrate the birthday of King Lee of the Hengshun clan. He is afraid that if he does not go, he will not be able to get another chance at his brother, who is the eldest son.
