This chapter opens with the young master of Luo Ming's mansion asking his servant to help him find a buyer for his book, which is currently in limited supply. The servant tells the master that he is desperate for money and that he will beat him to death if he does not buy from him. The young master tells the servant that he did not expect the servant to do such a thing to his sister, and that the servant should not have deducted 5 yuan from his salary for the month of January. He asks the servant if he is afraid of using the darkness to harm him, and the servant tells him that he would feel the same way if he were alone like this. He says that he has confessed his feelings to his brother, and he asks him if he looks down on her. He adds that she has the right to choose anyone she likes, but this is not the case with her sister. He tells her that when his father was not home, cheng came to his door in full armor and surrounded his entire mansion. He warns the servant not to rebel against him because cheng does not have many soldiers, so he will not do anything stupid
