Why were you weeping?" At first Prudence thought of denial. Then she said to herself that it would be better to confess and to beg her parents to break off her betrothal with the family of P'ei, so that they might marry her to Yu-lang. If they refused, she would die. That was all. So she told the whole matter without evasion. "We are husband and wife.
Yu-lang jostled thus by his father and his mother, no longer knew where he stood. Meanwhile the nurse objected: "But what can they say there? Our young Lord has only to keep himself hidden for a few days, and it will all pass over."
Prudence insisted, and soon mother and daughter went together to the new pavilion, and approached the bed, the curtains of which were drawn shut. "Here is your sister-in-law come to spend the night with you...." Yu-lang did not know what to say. He was afraid of being discovered, and held the curtains very tightly under his chin, as he put his head through the opening.
Then, when the house was quiet again, the girl went, as on the previous night, to keep young Yu-lang company. That night, even more so than the preceding one, the butterflies beat their wings, and the passionate phoenixes were convulsed. In the morning, they kept together. Therefore the scandalized nurse ran out and told everything to Sun said his wife, and they reeled with surprise and emotion.
How comes it that she is not further developed?" But by this time Yu-lang was holding her right in his arms, and had his lips glued to her, wantonly thrusting out his tongue. She continued the game by giving it a little nibble, and then thrust out her own tongue.
"I am accustomed to be alone," he stammered. But the mother said: "Aya! You are both of the same age, you are almost sisters. What are you afraid of? If you want to be particular, you have only to keep a blanket between you." During this time, Yu-lang was moved as much by fear as by delight.
Still walking unsteadily, he went into the nuptial pavilion to see her who was his bride, and came before the door, supported by his attendants. The nurse was there, and cried out loud: "My Lord wishes to enter!" Yu-lang was, quite naturally, holding Prudence in his arms. He hastily released her, and went close to the door. "You have succeeded in rising, my elder brother?" said Prudence.
"You will fatigue yourself." "That is no matter," he answered, making a deep obeisance before her whom he believed to be his wife. "Ten thousand happinesses be with you!" Yu-lang graciously replied. "What an exquisite pair!" cried the wife of Liu, proud of her son and happy at his fortune. The false bride's beauty was meanwhile strangely reviving the invalid's vitality.
From the adjoining room she had heard their laughter, and then their sighs, and had no further doubt of what had happened. And inwardly she cried: "Woe! Woe!" In the morning, after Prudence had returned to her parents' house to perform her toilet, the woman came in to wait upon Yu-lang, and said to him in a low voice: "O practitioner! You have done a fine thing!
Our love is boundless, and our vows will endure for at least a hundred years. My brother is recovered, and we fear that we shall be separated. Yu-lang wishes to return to his parents, to send his sister in his place. It seemed, then, to your daughter that a woman cannot have two husbands, and that if Yu-lang cannot marry me, I must die."
