“He had a cousin in the village, and his family always said that she would marry him when she grew up, and she believed it. But one day, the man married my master, and out of jealousy, she wanted to sabotage it. She always spread rumors and spoke ill of my master everywhere. What’s outrageous is that after Brother Ling’s father passed away, she told the neighbors that my master killed her cousin.”
"They also say that all women who cultivate immortality are bad, cold-hearted and ungrateful."
“You know Master’s personality; she doesn’t like to explain. Besides, Master’s husband is gone, so there’s no reason for her to stay in Lotus Town. So she took Senior Brother Ling back to Sword Sect.”
So that's how it is.

"Pfft~"
Su Qinghe covered her mouth, laughing heartily, "Junior Sister is right, isn't she~"
Gingerbread: "I'm quite curious about how Senior Brother Ling's father managed to marry Senior Uncle Qin."
Uncle Qin was cold to everyone.
Su Qinghe shook her head, "I don't know, but I heard from Uncle Wuya that she is a very gentle person."
Gingerbread said wistfully, "That's wonderful."
He must be a very good person.
Qin Jueyi, who was so gentle that her heart was devoted only to the way of the sword, actually agreed to be with him.
