The wet nurse tells Ming-ling that the lord has forbidden anyone to visit his daughter, and Mingling-ling asks her father why he hasn't repented for his actions against his daughter. He's so angry that he's going to send his daughter to the manor. Mingling says that she'll be back soon, and she's just worried about her mom. She's not worried about Ming's reputation, Mingling points out, because Mingling is her father's daughter, not her sister's. She says that Mingling's mom should just think of her going to a manor to have a good time, because the lord won't be able to tolerate such a young woman. She also says that her mom will never be hard-hearted, since Mingling isn't her father, and he'll have someone else to take care of her.
