The chapter opens with a description of the fight between the mistress and her son, who is the heir to the throne. The father tells his son that he will not be able to marry if someone sees him. He tells him to treat the fight as a way to keep his son safe. The patriarch tells his grandson that the next patriarch will be his granddaughter, who will marry sooner or later. He then tells his granddaughter that she will have to give up her family to him if she wants to be a patriarch. She tells him that she does not want to marry because she has someone she adores. She then tells her father that he is the only person in the family with the right qualities of a leader. She asks her father if he is trying to "ruin the su family." He tells her that he has chosen the right person and that she should obey him. She says that she is going to leave the family in his hands.
