982. The concubine is particularly uncultured

And her use of the word "concubine" successfully made Sophie Baker's face fall.

"Who are you calling a concubine!"

"Constantly rushing to call her 'sister,' if it's not to be a concubine, then why call her 'sister'?"

She purposefully didn't mention that Sophie was an illegitimate daughter; these repeated 'sisters' were exactly how a concubine would address the lawful wife.

"You... I am her sister!"

"Isn't it common for a concubine to refer to herself as 'little sister' in front of the lawful wife?"

Helen Melendy continued to feign ignorance, and infuriated Sophie, whose face was yet to recover, twisted even more.

She sized up Sophie's obviously surgically altered face and said, "Had plastic surgery?"

Sophie's eyelids twitched violently, about to deny it, then heard Helen continue,

"No matter how beautiful the surgery makes you, even if you peeled off that skin and replaced it with another, it wouldn't change the fact that you're a concubine, you know?"
