The next morning, the young master and the other maid leave for the morning meal. The young master tells the maid that he has been working on a plan to capture the city of Lianyang. He tells her that he will not allow her to marry the lord of the city because he does not want his daughter to marry a man who does not respect her. The maid tells him that the plan is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and that she will never forgive him for anything that happens to his daughter. She also tells him about the secret medicine that the family uses to treat their wounds. He thanks her for her compassion and says that she looks like her father really likes him. He asks why the city is fighting against him, and she says that the old man is willing to give her up to him for marriage. He says that since he is old and dying, he won't be able to get the city and his daughter when he dies. He then asks her why she would marry him for no reason. She asks him if he thinks she is not worthy of her father, and he replies that he agrees to the marriage
