Back at the mansion, Cai tells his brother that he's changed his mind about baiyan, and that he doesn't want Cai to marry him. Cai also tells Cai that if Cai loses his status as a marquis, baiyan will also lose the right to marry Cai's sister roujia . Cai says that if he kills Cai, the family will notice him, and they will be suspicious. Cai then tells Cai about the dancer, Su li, who used to work as a maid for Cai. Cai asks Su li to come to the palace, and Cai tells her to stay alive. Su li kneels before Cai and asks what Cai has been up to lately. Cai tells Su li that if she finds out that Cai is lying, she'll have a whole new set of tricks up her sleeve.
