The Family's Fate

The young lady was named Shen Jiao, the eldest daughter of the Shen family of Qingzhou. I heard that the character “Jiao” came from a line in the Book of Songs: “The moon rises bright, the beauty shines.” When I first entered the Shen family residence, there were four people in the household: Master Shen Ming, Madam Ting Yue, their son Shen Jie, and the young lady. But later, only the master and the young lady remained.
