The elder sister comes back, dressed in plain clothes. She has run away from her own marriage. She was injured in a temple fire, and she has been living in poverty ever since. She tells the story of how she came to be burned in the temple fire. The scar on her leg is made from the dried plum paste, madder leafs, and other herbs. She says that she was sent to the Kuhai Temple to be treated for her injuries. The master knew she was homeless, so he allowed her to stay. The servant girl tells her sister that she is her big sister, and asks why she came back. Grandma tells her that she left on her own, and that whatever happens to her in the future she will not involve her and her family anymore. Grandma says that if she had felt lucky to marry the seventh prince, why did she leave? Grandma says it's her fault, because she went to the palace and interceded for her sister. She scolds her sister for coming back, and tells her to bring the stick.
