In this chapter, the Duke's daughter tries to convince her sister-in-law, Madame yixi, to come to her house to help her with her face, which is badly affected by the use of a mask made by Madame xi's mother, Madame Xiaomu. The Duke, however, is not impressed with Madame zi's mask, which he says is made by a "crooked businesswoman" , Madame yaoguang, and which causes her to "ruin her face" . He tells her that she is lucky to be the daughter of the Duke, and that she should not insult him like this, because he will never allow her to do such a thing. He explains that Madame izi's face mask is made with ingredients that clog up her pores, causing her wounds to swell and her skin to become ulcerated. He blames Madame yioguang for causing Madame ze's condition to get worse, and he tells her to apply the mask to her face every day. He says that he feels his wounds are calmed down, and there is no more blood in his veins. Madame zai's imperial highness has certainly lived up to her reputation, and she praises Madame yoguang's kindness. Madame yibo's sister, Madame yike, is still at the Duke house, and the Duke is waiting for her to return. She says that she will trample her nobles under her han ling's study
