The next morning, the Governess tells her son-in-law that the war between China and the People's Republic of China has ended, and that the two countries are now friends. The Governess is surprised to learn that her daughter is so close to her father, and she asks him if he has to execute her in front of him like that. She also tells him that she has some connections with her daughter, and asks him to be careful with himself. He tells her that he is going to rest, and he tells her to leave the place to him. He says that he has heard rumors that Miss Su loves to do eight things in her day: listen to the rain, pick flowers, enjoy the moon, play go, drink wine, explore, and play zither.
