Shen Qiuhua teared up when she recalled her memories. "My grandmother loved me, but I couldn't save her. I was too young then. I feel sad just thinking about it.
"My mother passed away when I was a child, and my grandmother raised me. I was ten then, and my grandmother worried about me even though she was dying. I still remember what she looked like.
"She told me to live a simple and happy life and to forget about the Shen family. She said they would be in chaos soon and that most would not survive. Lian Qiao brought me to Blossom Village, and we left the Shen family behind.
"I addressed Lain Qiao as Mother when we lived there for a while. When she brought me away again, she died in a fire."
Shen Qiuhua had never mentioned this to anyone, not even the Su family.
Su Binglan's heart ached when she listened to her mother's story. She hugged her mother, saying, "You've suffered so much, Mother."
