: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.
:22:06
Second Wife,
this is too expensive...
:22:08
for a small child.
:22:10
She is not worthy of it.
:22:15
Who is she to say who is worthy?
:22:19
A treasure like you...
:22:22
needs precious pearls
to light up your face.
:22:25
You may call me Big Mother.
:22:32
Give them back.
Hurry now.
:22:35
If you don't thank Big Mother...
:22:39
you will make me
very angry.
:22:48
Thank you, Big Mother.
