LIK plays tricks to elude from the task. LAN discovers that LIK and CHUN sleep separately. She calls for family meeting in the late evening and everyone is speechless.

LAN eventually discovers that LIK is illiterate and she wants to kick her out of the house. LIK fights back by saying that LAN relies on her royal status to domineer and tyrannize all the time. Everybody cannot help but smile on LIK’s comment and LAN is very upset. HING is happy for LIK could restrain LAN while TAK worries that there will be lots of family disputes in the future. LAN deliberately makes LIK hungry by giving her very little food in every meal. CHUN and HING secretly save some food for LIK. LAN requests all government officials to donate 500 dollars to the fund-raising event for relieving disasters and most of the officials feel that they have no choice but to follow her request.

LAN locks LIK in her room in order to prevent her from joining the fund-raising event……

CHUN rushes to the pier and declares his love to her. LIK falls into the sea accidentally and CHUN jumps into the water to save her regardless of his own safety. HAU tells LIK the romance story of MOON and his deceased wife. This reminds LIK of the way CHUN cares about her and she finally agrees to go back with CHUN. In NING’s family, LIK feels disgusting to find that CHUN allows LAN to spoil him all the time and she kicks CHUN out of the room.

LAN pretends to have a stomachache after eating MOON’s food. LING and CHU therefore ask MOON to leave the capital by giving him some money. TAK realizes that LAN doesn’t want to be defamed by MOON’s poor social status. He recruits a teacher to teach MOON and the others how to read but studying at such an age is too hard for them. LIK is very angry to learn about the bad things LAN has done to her family and she eats watermelon fiercely regardless of her “pregnant” status. LAN is startled.

LUN is upset for SIK has ruined his great plan of selling young ladies to overseas countries. He pledges that he will kill NAME one day. In order to avoid LIK from admiring him, NAME tells LIK that he is cold-blooded. LIK believes that he is lack of concern and care so she decides to make friend with him. CHUN is very upset.
