How low was the status of concubines in feudal society?

In the past, the feudal society was a patriarchal society, and people generally lived a life in which men were superior to women. Men with some money are all wives, only the wife is a formal wife, and the rest of the concubines are basically handmaiden status.

The hit drama "Do you know, do you know, it should be green, fat, red and thin" reflects the low status of concubines naked.

Master Sheng is a small official with five qualities. He doesn't have many wives, but he has one wife and two concubines. Among them, Wang's wife was born in an official family and had a prominent position. Her position in the family is so high that even Master Sheng gives her three points of courtesy.

Although my little aunt Lin was favored by Master Sheng, she was still bullied by her wife. When my son was playing with the pot, he almost lost his elder sister's dowry. The eldest wife, Wang, actually slapped her directly, and she was not allowed to excuse her at all. It is the mother's son who is expensive, so she will pay.

In order to consolidate her position in the Sheng family, Lin Xiaoniang did everything she could. She didn't have the ability to resist the authority of the first lady, but she was worried that another little lady would be favored, so she did everything possible to hurt another concubine, Aunt Wei.

Aunt Wei, the daughter of a poor family, was sold to a rich family as a concubine. She is a little girl in name only, and she has a monthly supply of money. In fact, her life is worse than an ordinary servant. When I was pregnant, I didn't burn charcoal in winter. I knew that my charcoal fire was detained by Lin Xiaoniang, and I didn't dare to say a word. I could only freeze with my child.

Finally, during the delivery period, the midwife was bribed by Lin Xiaoniang and fled during dystocia. The absolute monarch, Lin Xiaoniang, sent off several women who could deliver babies, leaving the last one with no place to get drunk.

Eight-year-old Ming Lan wants to go out and find a doctor to save her mother. However, the door has already been closed by Lin Xiaoniang. She used her quick wits to pull open the straw and climbed out of the dog hole at the root of the fence.

However, when she finally found a doctor, her mother, Aunt Wei, was dying because of a long delay.

Throughout the Sheng family, both concubines were uncomfortable. Aunt Wei has been on duty all her life and is still shivering. Finally, Lin Xiaoniang calculated that the fetus was dystocia and died without timely treatment. But Lin Xiaoniang is often bullied and made things difficult by big ladies. The big lady always beats and scolds her. Once you catch something wrong, scold her lightly and stick to your body. She must apologize to the big lady.

In feudal society, concubines were basically just handmaids of mistresses' husbands. In addition to calculating the mutual jealousy and jealousy between concubines, I have to accept the blame of concubines from time to time. If I am slightly unhappy, I will be punished and even find someone to sell it at random.
