The chapter opens with a description of a drinking party that is to be held at the apartment of the Governess. The Governess tells the others that she is leaving the responsibility of taking Lijia home to them. She tells them that she will not worry about her moral character, as she is sure her roommate will take care of her. She is concerned about the fact that she has fallen asleep during the party, and she is worried about chenghuan's excessive beating of people. She says that she does not want to do such a thing again, as it is dangerous. She urges the others to get some wind in their sails and sober up, but they do not listen. They return to the apartment, and the party ends happily.
