In this chapter, the "ugly woman" complains about her hangover. She wakes up in the middle of the night to find that her husband has been sleeping with her. The two of them have been sleeping together for a long time, but now that they're "just friends," they don't need to be friends anymore. The "ugly" woman asks her husband if he's found a lover, and he says that he hasn't. She asks him if he sold her information to the three "evil forces" that wanted her life, and she asks if he promised him that he'd make her his husband. He doesn't answer her directly, but he does tell her that he needs the money to "exterminate the evil forces" in China, and that if she wants to marry him in two years, he'll give her back his money. She's sorry that she didn't discuss this with her husband, but she promises to do it again.
