In this chapter, we learn that the prince of Yuhe wants to marry his daughter, but she refuses. He asks her father for permission to marry him, and he tells her that if she accepts, she will be his only wife, and the lords in heaven will punish him for breaking the vow. He tells his father that he has delegated all his bank business to his son-in-law, who is also the prince's ninth son. The prince asks his father if he plans to force his daughter to break her vow, and his father tells him that he should ask her about it. He then tells his son that if he needs anything, he should come to him. He says that he and his daughter have officially met, and that he will tell him the answer in a few days. When the prince asks for his daughter's opinion about the marriage, he is told that she will not marry him. When he asks her about the vow, she says that she does not want to break it, and her father tells her not to worry, as they have already met. He also says that they have agreed to build an altar in the great canal, and if she wants to be a virgin, he will let her choose one of the many available princesses
