In this chapter, Mingyan tells her sister that she wants to have a baby. Mingyan says that she was taken aback when she heard that Mingyan wanted to have sex with her sister. She tells Mingyan to take the story down and to put some "handsome" Mingyan up there to distract the attention of the public. She wants Mingyan and Mingyan's baby to be the focus of the story. She asks Mingyan why he suddenly feels a bit cold. He tells her that he has found someone to seduce, but that he hasn't made any progress. He says that it's better to start with the Mingyan family, since Mingyan has an illegitimate child. He hopes Mingyan will be reluctant to go down with Mingyan because Mingyan can't bear to hurt her sister's child, and so Mingyan suggests Mingyan go down on the ship with the baby. He also says Mingyan needs to get used to the smell of the kitchen, since he used to hate it. He wonders if it was the bad girl who made Mingyan learn to cook, or the young master Mingyan used to be before they met. He teases Mingyan for being so careful about him, but Mingyan doesn't believe him. He wants to slap Mingyan if he feels sorry for Mingyan. She says that if Mingyan really feels sorry, he can make it up for her today.
