Mingzhu spoke again of the Ministry of Revenue officer who favored his concubine over his wife, and after finishing, she said discontentedly, "Tell me, why are there so many men who favor their concubines over their wives?" Mingzhu truly didn't understand. The wife managed household affairs and taught the children, even taking care of the concubines and children born out of wedlock, yet the husband's heart still remained with the concubine. Thinking about it, Mingzhu felt it wasn't worth it.
The reason for Mingzhu's anger this time was because she knew the officer's wife. Although Mingzhu didn't particularly like her, she couldn't deny that the woman was excellent in every way. Mingzhu didn't understand why such a capable and wise woman had to suffer the disdain of a concubine daily.
