Bab 269: 121: Qi Zong is already 40_1

Yan Shu was born into a prominent family, with two older brothers above her who doted on and protected her, parents at home who spoiled and loved her, and grandparents who held her dear in their hearts. Growing up under their wings, she had never experienced trials and tribulations nor witnessed the cutthroat nature of high society. This nurtured her into someone whose delicate and frail disposition easily fell apart under pressure.
