Su Qing couldn’t help but swell with pride. “Father was incredibly handsome when he was young!” She recalled how people used to blush at the sight of him. Everyone adored Father, they went to great lengths to please him, even stuffing food into her mouth.

“So… was it Father that Mommy was pursuing?” She had always believed that Liu Mingxuan was an educated youth from the countryside with high standards. Su Xuewen must have put in a lot of effort to win her over.

“Yeah! That’s what everyone says.” Her father had never shared his past with him, but the villagers had. After his parents passed away, no one spoke of it anymore. Su Qing fondly reminisced about the days when her parents were alive. Those were wonderful times.

“Actually, Father wouldn’t have minded having only daughters if Mother didn’t want a son.” Su Qing’s eyes welled up with tears as she spoke, her voice becoming nasal. “Father loved us deeply. He never favoured sons over daughters.”

The one who truly favoured sons over daughters was her mother, but she paid the price with her life.

Suddenly, Su Wen had an epiphany. If Su Xuewen truly favoured sons to the point of risking his wife’s life, he wouldn’t have placed such importance on his daughter’s education. Looking at the smiling man in the photo, Su Wen admired Su Xuewen even more.

The old Su family was indeed peculiar. They had Su Xuewen, this exceptional gem.

“Oh, by the way, Su Qing, do you know if our Mother had a sister?” Su Wen pretended to be confused. “When I was in the Province, I met someone who resembled our Mother. I recall hearing about her before.”

“You mean you met Liu Juan?” Su Qing’s expression changed drastically.

“Where did you meet her? Did she do anything to you?”

“Yes, I met her,” Su Wen suppressed the shock in her heart and pretended to be nonchalant. “I encountered her when Little Aunt took me to visit. I thought it was a coincidence back then. After all, many people share the same name, so I wasn’t sure. But now that you’ve mentioned it, I’m certain.”

Su Qing gritted her teeth. “Are you okay?”

“Of course, I’m fine.” Su Wen reassured Su Qing, guiding her to continue. “She has no idea who I am.”

“That’s true. Ever since our Mother was sent away to be an educated youth, she never went back. Not until she passed away. Liu Juan definitely doesn’t know about us.” Su Qing sighed helplessly. ‘We severed ties with Grandma’s family long ago. We never thought we would meet again. I didn’t expect you to encounter her on your first trip to the Province.”

It was too much of a coincidence.

“Back then, Mother wanted to return to the Province, but they didn’t allow her…” Su Qing looked at Su Wen sadly. She confessed, “Our parents have passed away. Grandma’s family is no longer a part of our lives, not to mention Liu

Juan. ”

Su Wen was anxious. The novel didn’t mention anything about the grandmother’s family. As a transmigrator, she had no information. However, Su Qing knew about them and harbored resentment toward Liu Juan.

Fortunately, Su Qing initiated the conversation, sparing Su Wen from having to probe.

“Liu Juan was supposed to be demoted back then, but she didn’t want to suffer, so she schemed against our Mother and made her take her place as an educated youth. Our Mother let go of the matter when she met our dad. But because she was far from her family, she rarely contacted them. Mother wanted to go back to visit, but Liu Juan and her grandparents strongly opposed it…” Su Qing said..
