One week later, Mingxuan's mother writes a letter to the family thanking them for their devotion. She tells them that her son has recovered from his illness, but that he is too frail to go out. She asks them to hurry up and bring him out of his room so that he can rest. She also asks them if they have any lady in their lives who they think might be interested in inheriting the family business. They all agree that they do not want to burden anyone else with the responsibility of running the business. She says that she still believes that she will inherit the business, but she does not want her younger brother to be burdened with the burden of running it.
