Wen and Du Heng walk through the Du house toward the altar while the crowd noise fades.

The Du family altar opens: not mystical, but an archive of sealed jars.

Du Heng explains the plain rule of the offering as Wen prepares to choose a jar.

Wen finds the jar tied to her grandmother's death record.

Wen states what she has pieced together about the poisoning and the cleansing.

Du Heng acknowledges the danger of naming Songhe as responsible.

Wen writes the true death entry into the altar record.

The completed accusation sits on the altar; Du Heng accepts his complicity.

Wen seals the accusation and decides to take it outside instead of hiding it.

Wen makes clear that hiding the truth would only pass the sickness to Xiao'an.
