The next morning, the master scolds his servants for sleeping with the maid. The maid, sister yangbai, tells the master that the master slept with her the night before, and that he was exhausted. The master tells the maid that he treats her well, but that he does not have the cold personality of the other men in the house. He says that he is taking care of the large group, and he is sure that he will be exhausted soon. He asks the maid to persuade the master to get some rest, and the maid says that she did not say anything to the master about it. She says that all of them can clearly see that he treasures her, and they should all go fetch the doctor to find out what is wrong. When the maid asks the master if she wants to meet him, he says that yesterday he was home, but did not come to see her. She asks if she has started to fall in love with the master, and when the maid replies that she is only doing this to get a better understanding of the master's taste, she says that during the next five years, he will let her go.
