"Chen Cui brought An Wen to our home, claiming he was her son. An Wen had to bear the shame of being an illegitimate child in your place, and we sisters were so disgraced we couldn't even leave the house."
"Do you know how hard those years were for our family? The moment my father earned a bit of silver, our grandparents would push him to go search for her. Do you have any idea what kind of life my eldest sister, Chen Xing, and I lived?"
"Of course you wouldn't know. You and your mother have spent all these years living in luxury, never giving a thought to us pinching pennies in the countryside. Our grandparents worried your mother might be suffering out there, so they saved up and hid every nice thing they had, unwilling to give any of it to us sisters."
"My father and my uncle were killed by mountain bandits while they were searching for Chen Cui."
