The consequences could be predicted if the petite mistress has mistaken someone else for a person.
They are all women. When these noble ladies are talking about it, apart from being terrified, there is a bit of schadenfreude.
It is said that this petite mistress is very beautiful and just turned sixteen, the most youthful period of time. However, the mistress of the house has already passed forty, old and withered. She didn't agree to accept this mistress into the house, but unfortunately, the Fourth-rank official insisted on marrying her. Not only did he offer a substantial betrothal gift, but he also said in front of everyone in the house, that everyone should respect this mistress in the future and not bully her because of her young age.
This supposedly meant that he was favoring his wife over concubines.
The legal wife of that family, gnashed her teeth in hatred but helpless, she could only dutifully take care of the house.
