The next morning, the old marquis comes in. He tells the young man that he has something to tell him. The old man says that although he looks normal, he feels like he is dying inside. He says that he knows it is a cruel thing to do, but he believes that the old man cannot bear to tell his son. The young man asks if he is asking him to leave the mansion, not just leaving it, but leaving it for good. The marquis says he has spent all his life in the war field, but this has been the first time he has ever felt this stuck. He wants to protect his son, so he asks his brother-in-law to keep this a secret between them. The elder brother jiang says he was too busy chatting with Dongning to change his mind. He rushes to see the marquis and tells him that he wants to know more about her. Before they leave, he asks her to introduce him to his wife. She says that she will be his wife forever and ever.
