In this chapter, we learn that the two of them have made up a clandestine market in the city of Joseon, where they can sell each other's wares. It's been a while since the two have seen each other, but Jo says that he's heard that the wedding is going to take place soon, so he'd like to stay and see it happen. He's not sure if he'll be able to stay or not, but he does know that he has sworn an oath with the palace, and he can't go back to the city without her. She's rumored to be in love with a slave, and she's worried that the master will find out about it and make her a slave. She tells the master that he owes her a lot of gratitude, but then he goes back to harm her daughter, and that's ridiculous. She says that she'll make sure that she doesn't become a slave to the master.
