Shi Yumei opened her mouth slightly and lowered her head, "I just can't stand the unfair treatment toward cousin Fangzi—"
"Silence!" Mrs. Wang's face darkened again, "Watch how you speak! Fangzi is my own niece and grew up with Fengju since they were young. She willingly chose to be a concubine, and I have promised her that if she bears a son, I'll raise her status to legitimate wife and allow her to wear red dresses. What grievances could she possibly have? She herself doesn't complain, so what gives you the right to meddle? You'd better pay more attention to that 'fairy' in your own quarters! I warn you, no matter what, Miss Wan is the wife, and Fangzi is the concubine. There has always been a distinction between wife and concubine from time immemorial, and any change to this order would mean family rebellion and chaos! Our Shi family would never commit such acts of favoring a concubine over the legitimate wife!"
