In this short scene, the young master wonders if the new powder will complement his skin tone. He wonders whether the second master will like it. He asks if the illness is completely cured or if it might return later on. The young master tells him to get up quickly and orders servants to prepare snacks for him and his patient. He then asks if he can get information about the whereabouts of his stepmother, who he ran into on the street. He says that he is just fortunate to have been saved by him. He tells his master that if he gets the same disease again, he can ask him to treat it, and he says he will just pretend he never heard of the cursed woman. He is afraid he can't cure him if he moves around, so he will have to paralyze him. Then he asks if she knows her stepmother, the one who seduced his father but couldn't outsmart his mother. She is called "Liu" and he knows her like a mother, like his own daughter. He also hears that her father has arranged for her to live on the east side of town, where she will be kicked out once he has his hands on her last store. He wants her to leave immediately.
