In this chapter, we learn that the mistress of the country has revolted, and that she is now using her power to bully the mistress. The mistress tells the girls that she has come to find out what has happened to the little princess, who has been hiding out in the country for the past few days and has been enjoying herself. She says that if the rumors are true, then she will make the princess pay for her disgrace. The girls cough and cough, and the mistress tells them to wipe her face with the itching powder that has come from the divine doctor's office. The powder is poisonous, so the girls tie the mistress to a pole and beat the mistress with a stick. When the mistress realizes that the pain-transfer method works, she drinks three bowls of water every day and her acnes disappear for a month.
