The next morning, the young master asks how long he'll be gone. He doesn't know, but he's sure it's going to be a long time. He's got a jade pendant that his mother gave him when he was sick as a child. The pendant reminds him of his childhood, when he got sick a lot, and she gave him the pendant to keep him healthy. The young master tells us that he has the pendant with him all the time, which is a good sign, because it means he has a lot of good luck with his upcoming trip. He asks if the pendant is from a kid, and the answer is yes, it is from his mother. He also tells us about the wedding, and how he used to sleep in his father's room. He says that the maid and the butler are also in love with him, and that they've risked their lives to protect him. He tells the maid that he can't tell her about the condition of his wife because she's been away for three days. He wants to know what's wrong with her, but she can only tell him about her husband's condition. She's worried that he won't be able to live without her, and worries that his temper will get worse. She begs the butler and the doctor to let her take care of her husband.
