In this short scene, we learn that the wedding is being held at the home of the second son of the Li family, and that the bride-to-be is the daughter of one of the family's servants. The scene opens with the bride and her father discussing the wedding preparations, and the bride complains that she hasn't yet been able to meet her father and aunt. She tells the father that she's dressed up as a man in order to be recognized by them, and she asks him not to make fun of her. She also tells him that she has prepared several dresses for the wedding, which she hopes to see soon. The father tells her to be careful with her voice, as it's too sweet, and he warns her to take it easy. He also tells her that the banquet hall looks like the two of them and that she should be careful not to look suspicious. The bride tells her father that thanks to his help, she'll be able to get rid of the man who investigated her, which is a big deal in a city like Shanghai. She asks the father if he's had a chance to speak with her, and asks him if he knows how handsome she looks today. He says that he doesn't, but he also asks her what she will look like in the wedding gown. She complains that her voice is so sweet that it makes her feel uncomfortable, and then she asks if the man is handsome, and if he has a partner. The man replies that he has no partner today, but that he'd like to be a partner when dancing. She then asks if she can speak to him, and when the man says that she is too shy or shameful to speak, she says that if it weren't for her father, she wouldn't have been brought to the wedding. She says that her role today is to be the fiance of the young master of another family, which means that her father's name isn't on the program. She vows to destroy the family
