To my child,

she was here again. I think I'm being evaluated.

Ladies do not spend time with pleasure slaves because they enjoy it and yet she comes to chat, to tell me about clothing styles, gardens and music. I can't ignore her, but I don't know what to say to have a pleasant conversation either.

Whatever she is evaluating me for I fear I am failing.

If you knew me, would I be an embarrassment to you? No manners, no female skills and no literary talents - your new mother must be far superior. Growing up among such noble cultivators will surely be better than growing up with someone like me.

I pray for your happiness.

In love,

your mother
