Koohii Story 2 "A concubine is a woman you can stand on and walk all over. She does not have the same status as a wife. The contrast can be seen in the compound: 妻妾 (one's wife and mistresses). Both are women; however, the wife gets a brush for her hair; whereas the concubine is stood upon and trampled."
