In this chapter, the ugly woman is trying to get her sister to forget about Fanghua's rudeness to her sister. She's also trying to figure out what's going on with the auction of her slaves. She asks the city lord if he'd be willing to buy her if she also bought Fanghua. The city lord says he's too poor to buy a man. The ugly woman says she can't buy Fanghua, but she'll show him a treasure that she's never seen before.
