Until too late.
:20:24
When I went to live
with my mother...

:20:27
I thought I had
become so happy...

:20:29
so important.
:20:32
Then my new family returned
from the countryside:

:20:38
Wu Tsing, his other wives
and children.

:20:44
Now I wondered what my place
in this family would be.

:20:50
First Wife
was a ghost of a woman.

:20:53
She blinded herself
to the faults of her daughters.

:20:58
Third Wife never gave
Wu Tsing a son...

:21:02
and lived in fear
she'd be kicked out.

:21:06
But even she
outranked my mother...

:21:09
who was only Fourth Wife...
:21:12
the newest one.
:21:15
And finally, Second Wife...
:21:18
the empress
of the household...

:21:21
with Wu Tsing's only son.
:21:25
I watched how my mother
looked at this boy.

:21:29
And I wondered why.
:21:39
So you've come back already.
:21:44
This is the daughter
you wanted permission to bring?

:21:48
Yes. Her name is An-Mei.
:21:57
Put this on.
