Yugiri, visiting the Ono villa, confesses his long-held love to the Lady Ochiba, enters her room, and catches the hem of her robe as she tries to flee.

自邸で、一条御息所の文を読む夕霧に雲居雁忍びより手紙を奪う。

At his own residence, as Yugiri reads the Ichijo Lady Mother's letter, Kumoi no Kari steals up and snatches it.

翌朝、雲居雁の隠した文を探す夕霧。 室内で子供たち騒ぐ。

The next morning Yugiri searches for the letter Kumoi no Kari hid; the children make a racket in the room.

Standing by the door of the Ono villa, Yugiri holds a fan up to the autumn sunset; a deer cries beyond the fence.

致仕の大臣の文を持ち、蔵人少将(柏木の弟)、 落葉の宮を訪れる。

Bearing a letter from the retired Minister, Kurando no Shosho (Kashiwagi's younger brother) visits the Lady Ochiba.

落葉の宮への思慕を募らせた夕霧は小野の山荘へ押し掛け想いを打ち明けるが、宮は頑なに拒絶する。心痛のあまり母御息所が急死し、世間の浮名に絶望した落葉の宮は籠居するが、夕霧は強引に一条宮に移して契りを結ぶ。嫉妬に狂った正妻・雲居の雁は子らを連れて実家へ帰ってしまう。夕霧は二人の妻の間で板挟みとなりながらも、一門の重鎮として栄華を築いていく。

Yugiri pursues Ochiba no Miya to her mountain retreat at Ono, but she resists his overtures. Heartbroken over the gossip, Ochiba's mother passes away. Despite the princess's grief, Yugiri forcibly consummates the union, prompting a furious Kumoi no Kari to flee back to her father's house with their children. Torn between the two women, Yugiri nonetheless secures his stature as a court pillar.
