Although Third Aunt Si was vicious toward others, she always spoke to her own daughter in a soft, gentle voice.
This was because she'd had an unfortunate childhood. Her father didn't dote on her, her mother didn't love her, and her grandparents favored boys over girls.
Her childhood had been miserable, so after she married and had children, she became especially doting on her daughter.
She truly preferred her daughter to her sons, especially since she'd had three boys before finally having a girl.
She naturally treasured her daughter like the apple of her eye. But when it came to herself, her daughter still came second. To put it bluntly, the person she loved most was herself.
When she heard the Young Master of the Si Family say her sons couldn't take her daughter's place, she knew this nephew of hers was deliberately making things difficult for them because he couldn't stand the mother-daughter duo.
