Yet the servant soon lost it, and Young Master Qin presumed that he had sold it. Touched that the servant missed his grandmother, Young Master Qin gave him the pendant. The servant asked to borrow a jade pendant from his grandmother. Young Master Qin confesses to meeting the servant one last time two years ago. Wei Wuxian asks if there is anything else Young Master Qin wishes to tell them. Unfortunately, this means that the second door was opened by Young Master Qin himself, leaving only his bedroom door as the remaining barrier for the corpse. Wei Wuxian bursts into laughter, deducing that Young Master Qin likely threw fruit at the servant before, although he refuses to admit it. As she screamed for him to let her in, he barged outside, and passed out when he was pelted with fruit. He explains that the corpse imitated the voice of his wife, who had recently returned to her father's residence when the haunting began. The next morning, Young Master Qin storms inside the Bamboo Cottage, not caring to wait for Wei Wuxian to awaken. Lan Sizhui delivers the talisman, and Wei Wuxian expresses certainty that the creature will come again. He insists that he was raised differently in Lotus Pier, but Lan Wangji embraces him all the same. He stops when he realizes that both Lan Wangji and Lan Sizhui are looking at him strangely. Wei Wuxian replies that the world always looks down on servants, and sometimes servants look down on themselves. Lan Sizhui expresses frustration with Young Master Qin's condescension towards servants. Wei Wuxian admits it is nothing but a random scribble, before asking Lan Sizhui what he thinks of Young Master Qin. When he tells Lan Sizhui to deliver the talisman, Lan Sizhui finds himself unable to decipher it. Wei Wuxian then uses cinnabar to paint a talisman. Wei Wuxian reassures Young Master Qin that it is not so bad if it was not suicide, and sends him on his way with the promise of a delivering Talisman later.ДЄfter he departs, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian converse that two years is a long time to wait if the corpse truly wanted revenge. Lan Wangji asks when the servant died, and Young Master Qin answers that he died was two years ago, after falling while running around drunk in the middle of the night. When Wei Wuxian presses to know who was ultimately right and wrong, Young Master Qin adopts an unpleasant expression while he claims not to remember. Wei Wuxian then asks if Young Master Qin was the person who came up with the first answer, but Young Master Qin simply avoids the question.

He scorns the servant's temper, citing that he refused to return to school in the aftermath. Young Master Qin says that he was the first to suggest he leave. Wei Wuxian asks if Young Master Qin had a particular role that would single him out for revenge. The class joined together to chase him away. When their teacher presented them a difficult problem, someone came up with an answer, but the servant insisted the answer was wrong.ДЄlthough the others contradicted the servant, the servant refused to admit that he was wrong. The servant was allowed to attend school with Young Master Qin and, in his opinion, grew proud. Young Master Qin claims that there is only one instance of possible offense, though he does not think it was significant. The Fierce Corpse belongs to his childhood friend, a servant of his grandmother's who was around the same age as him. Young Master Qin explains that he grew up in a rural village with his grandmother.
