Haryanggyo, winter. Lady Cho is writing the petition that will ask the king to honour Ahn Hui-yeon as a chaste widow presumed dead. She knows Hui-yeon is alive. She knows exactly whose house she is in, because the wager was her idea. Cho Won walks into her study unannounced, snow on his shoulders, with the letter Hui-yeon wrote him the morning after their first night. He wants his winnings. He wants Lady Cho to say out loud that he won. Then Lady Jeong-kyeong's palanquin stops at the outer gate. The Left State Councillor's wife has already had the maid Eun-sil beaten until she named who sent her for Hui-yeon's letters, and she has come about the petition. The proof of everything Lady Cho has done is lying on top of it.
