I

something
to
show
you
.
EXT

YUN
ESTATE
BEDROOM
NIGHT
Yun
Xing
Tong
brings
the
handmaiden
to
a
bedroom
that
he
has
apparently
shut
off
from
the
rest
of
the
house,
just
like
the
study
.
His
squire
has
brought
along
a
lantern
.
YUN
XING
TONG
This
is
the
bedroom
of
the
Mistress
of
the
House
.
He
unlocks
the
door
with
his
own
key,
and
opens
it
.
YUN
XING
TONG
(to
Handmaiden)
Come
in
.
And
inside
is
another
room
that
is
as
dirty
as
the
study
that
once
was
the
place
where
he
played
Go,
Chess
and
studied
music
with
his
lifelong
friend
.
There
is
a
small
study
desk
by
the
window,
which
is
at
the
end,
and
a
bed,
whose
curtains
are
now
gathering
dust
.
And
in
a
corner
stands
another
of
the
Western
-
style
pendulum
clocks,
which
have
forever
stopped
ticking
in
the
vicinity
of
9
.
25
.
And
on
the
walls
hang
various
scrolls
of
writing
and
poetry
.
The
Squire
uses
his
candlestick
to
light
some
other
candles
in
the
room
.
Yun
Xing
Tong
guides
the
handmaiden
over
to
one
of
the
scrolls
of
poetry,
and
shows
her
one
of
the
seals
on
it
It
is
a
seal
featuring
some
Chinese
characters,
that
the
handmaiden
is
able
to
read
.
HANDMAIDEN
Hua
Zhong
Ai
She
turns
with
tears
in
her
eyes
to
Yun
Xing
Tong
.
HANDMAIDEN
I
I
knew
it
Hua
Zhong
Ai
was
the
Mistress
of
the
House,
wasnt
she?
Yun
Xing
Tong
nods
.
HANDMAIDEN
So,
thats
the
time
she
died
that
is
shown
on
the
clocks?
