Now that the wedding is over, Madame Bovary tells Miss Fu to come with her to the wedding reception. She tells her that she was stabbed in her name by a man named Bai-wang, and that it was he who stabbed her in her own name. She says that she will be watching the guests at the reception, and then she will go into the back yard to change into a woman's dress and take the drug that she has just given her. She will use another drug to take the same drug, and she will spread the word about the wedding that night. She is sure that General Ganymede will die soon from the poison she has given him.
