MAN reveals to LAN his decision to marry KWAN. This has come as a crushing blow to LAN while FONG has also raised her objection at once. Despite all the responses he has received from his family, MAN is not going to change his mind. MAN and KWAN go horse-riding in the countryside, during which KWAN hints that she is not afraid of confronting MAN’s family and will try her very best to blend in with them. YEE goes to see LAN in her bedroom. She blames MAN for upsetting LAN all the time, and refuses to accept KWAN as her fourth mother.

FONG is so fed up with the hassle that she would like to put up at MAN’s bungalow temporarily, to which LAN has no objection……
About Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles
The 1930s Hong Kong is the time of the East and West cultural shock. Women started fighting for their rights and status, changing the 'men superior to women' image. Famous barrister Sir Arthur Chung studied in England and lives a British lifestyle, but inside he's actually a traditional Chinese man. He married several wives to show off his power and upper-class status. First wife Koo Sam-lan was a rich girl; second wife is former Qing dynasty princess Aisin Gioro Yee-yin; third wife came from a family that owned banks Yvonne Yik; fourth wife is a famous Peking opera singer Hong Tsz-kwan; and the fifth wife Chui Dan-dan, a vanity admiring woman. Because Sir Arthur Chung is a strict and authoritarian father, his two sons Charles Chung and Jimmy Chung eventually start going against him. This wealthy and prominent family may seem warm on the surface, but in reality, they are scattered and disunited.
