At Ms. Jenner's pre-wedding inspection, servants mishandle her wedding gifts: a glass vase is broken and a prized painting tossed aside. Ms. Jenner, bride-to-be of the emperor, erupts and summons guards. Juliet says, 'Don't be mad. It's all Spence's fault,' revealing he took the wedding presents and gave them to her. She calls those items 'compensation' and claims Spence agreed Ms. Jenner could be his concubine on Juliet's wedding day. Family members denounce Juliet, demand the gifts back and order arrests. It ends with guards closing in, the gifts seized, and the wedding's outcome hanging.
