Second Auntie held Qin Mei's hand, patting the back of it as she earnestly advised, "Fourth Wife of Jing, the Jie Family is well-off, Jing Si is handsome, and he's a good man who dotes on his wife. Fourth Wife of Jing, you can't do anything foolish."
Qin Mei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She pulled her hand from Second Auntie's grasp. Qin Mei took a step forward to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Qin Xiang, pointing first to him and then to herself. "Second Auntie, look at us. Don't we look alike?"
Second Auntie ignored Qin Mei's question about their resemblance and pulled her back again, glancing at Qin Xiang with disdain. "Not a match! Not a match! You two are not a match at all! You and Jing Si are the ones who are a match—a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match made in heaven."
Qin Mei looked to the heavens. 'I asked her if we look alike, not if we're a good match!'
