The next day, the two women discuss the upcoming marriage. The older woman tells the younger woman that she is the eldest daughter of the Su family and that she should be informed about the forthcoming marriage. She tells the older woman that it is inappropriate for a married man to have a second wife. The elder woman also tells the young woman that the family has been trying to respect a married woman for many years. She says that if the family were to impeach her, they would lose more than they gain. The younger woman tells her that she will have to pay respects to her mother and father from now on.
