Recalling the past, Jūn Línyè could not help but feel a deep sorrow. Her father's heroic sacrifice and her mother's prolonged suffering from illness caused their standing within the clan to plummet overnight. The once-respected family was instantly reduced to the target of widespread ostracization, a stark contrast that was truly difficult to bear.
Yet even so, life had to go on. Now, with a series of developments, the fates of the mother and daughter had undergone a earth-shattering transformation. Among those kinsfolk who had once looked on coldly or even hurled malicious insults, negative gossip about Jūn Línyè began to circulate. Some said she was proud and aloof, looking down on everyone; others accused her of disregarding family bonds...
Facing these rumors, Jūn Línyè and her mother chose to remain silent. They knew full well that no amount of explanation would do any good and might instead provoke more unnecessary trouble. Thus, the two quietly handled all the relevant procedures according to the prescribed steps. In just two short days, everything was settled.
