In this chapter, the ugly woman asks the lecherous lecherous man if he now believes that he truly loves her. He replies that he does not believe her, and he challenges her to prove it. He tells her that heaven is a powdered poison, that even slight duplicity is enough to kill someone, and that she should not accuse anyone without evidence. He then tells her to test the food and then leave him alone to find out the identity of the person who poisoned him. The ugly woman tells him that she loves him, and she will make the decision for her. She tells him not to think that his love for Ganxhe is reciprocated, because he is acting for his own self-interest. She reminds him that he himself is too cowardly to confess his love to the man who loves him. She then tells him to notice that he is falling in love with her.
