The Ye Family matriarch wore a stern expression, clearly displeased. Ye Zhi pursed her lips and sheepishly said, "I was wrong. Mother surely wouldn't want me to be a concubine; it should be a proper wife. I heard that being a concubine has a very low status, and one might even have to serve the wife as a maid. Mother wouldn't bear to have me as a maid."
The woman had yet to reply.
Huanhuan snorted coldly and righteously defended her friend, "Ah Zhi would never want to marry over there and be a concubine. Not only would her children be considered illegitimate, but she would also have to rely on a small stipend to live on and be called by others as 'Auntie.' If you were to become a concubine, I, Tan Huanhuan, would be the first to disagree."
She waved her small fist, emphasizing her sincerity.
