In this chapter, we learn that the ghost of Jun Qingye has returned to the place where he was last seen. We learn that he has been banished from the family, and that his dirty money will belong only to the clan. The narrator wonders why the ghosts are tormenting him, and wonders if he has forgotten that they just want him to die. He realizes that he is trapped in a dream and that he will not be able to escape. He asks if the ghost is also in his dream, and the narrator tells him that it is. He tells the ghost that they will die together if they can defeat the dream. He also tells the narrator that he wants to be his mistress, and if he does not want to be bankrupt, he can ask him for money.
