Lin chimes in that he's been following him all along. He's got a message for her: fox's heart is getting faster and faster. Lin tells him that she's fallen in love with a woman named "lady bai" , and that the imperial authorities have been checking the puppet's magic to make sure that it doesn't have any magical powers. He also tells her that fox has been using her as an excuse to get away from her. Lin is worried that fox is trying to take her away from him. She tells him to stop thinking about it, and to think of the letter that Lady bai sent to him asking for her love. Lin thinks that fox must have gotten mad at her for asking him to take care of her. She says that if she were him, she'd get mad at him too, but she does care about the fact that fox never cares for a girl like her. If he does fall for her, she says, he'd put him in "a dilemma" . She hopes that he can find someone who will bring him happiness, and she says that's why she wants him to find someone else. She's worried that if he tells her about her feelings, it'll be a "lifelong regret" to him. Lin says that she is an ideal wife, and tells her to take the talisman with her.
