Minglan's mother, Madam Wei, was a gentle and quiet woman. She lived carefully in the Sheng family and never argued with others. Unluckily, she died when she gave birth to her second child. Before she passed away, she had a short talk with little Minglan and left her final words.

She told Minglan not to show how clever she was, not to fight for things with others, and just to live a quiet and safe life. She also told Minglan to go to Grandma Sheng for care, and to take good care of herself. She hoped that her daughter could grow up safely, even if she lived an ordinary life. Those words were short, but they carried all a mother's love and worry for her child.

Minglan remembered those words clearly for her whole life. She followed her mother's advice for many years, and hid her true ability carefully. Those words were like a shield, protecting her through her hard and lonely childhood.

明兰的母亲卫小娘，是个温柔安静的女人。她在盛家小心翼翼地过日子，从不跟人争执。不幸的是，她在生第二个孩子的时候去世了。临走前，她跟小明兰说了一小会儿话，留下了最后的遗言。

她叮嘱明兰，不要显露自己的聪明，不要跟人争东西，就安安稳稳、平平安安地过日子。她还嘱咐明兰，以后要去盛老太太身边讨生活，好好照顾自己。她只希望女儿能平平安安长大，哪怕过的是普通日子也好。话很短，却装着一个母亲对孩子全部的爱和牵挂。

明兰一辈子都清清楚楚地记着这些话。她照着母亲的叮嘱，过了很多年，小心翼翼地藏起自己的锋芒。那些话就像一面盾牌，护着她熬过了艰难又孤独的童年。
