Grandma Qin drew upon her own life experience to advise Qin Zhenzhen not to antagonize individuals of significant influence when her own power was insufficient. Qin Zhenzhen nodded in response, assuring her grandmother, "Rest assured, Grandma, I'm well aware of how to navigate this."
In a sudden reflective moment, Qin Zhenzhen inquired, "Grandma, what caused your blindness?"
Although Grandma Qin's eyes seemed intact, her vision had been utterly obscured. She recounted, "I was blinded by poison. They bound me to a chair, forcibly held my eyes open, and administered a special potion that continually dripped into my eye sockets, rendering me sightless."
A shiver ran through Grandma Qin as she recollected the agony of that ordeal. Qin Zhenzhen remarked, "I recall that you still experience occasional discomfort in your eyes, don't you?"
