Lijun gives birth to a baby boy, and the two of them get along very well. He's been given money by his uncle to celebrate the baby's first month, and he and his aunt haven't yet done anything to celebrate his birth. Lijun wants to see the baby, but his uncle has already given him money for the month, so he doesn't have anything to do with it. He tells Lijun that he's already returned his hairpin to her, and that she can call him sister if she wants. He also tells her that her adoptive father has already handed him all his property in the west, but that he hasn't hurried to seize her properties in the east. He warns her not to hurt her father, and tells her to leave him alone. He hears gossip that she and yun ge were seen together at the market, and says that if she still wants to be with her, she should not bother with him. He asks her if she ever received an embroidered shoe when she was young, and she says that she's never received one. He says that not being from a well-established family is one of the first crimes a person can commit. This is the person who bullies others, uses his power to dominate the wine merchants, and profites from the market.
