The maid, who serves the family, kneels before her and begs her to save Linzhong, who has nowhere to stay and might even die. She tells him that she can do whatever he wants to her and tells him to come look for her once he is better. She then tells the family that they have been grounded for three months and that they are not allowed to leave the house. They are angry and want to get rid of her immediately. They ask her to be their bodyguard and she accepts. They then tell her to bring linzhong to the back of the house and let him cultivate there for a while and then bring him back to the house when he is well enough to be with her. They also tell her that brother lin has reached the city of yangzhou and that he is preparing to go to study at the university there. She is very happy for him and wonders when they will be able to meet again.
