Inagaki Kaori continued, "Xiangli's mother was a woman whose expression was always especially somber...yet somewhat gentle. When she entrusted Xiangli to us, she asked us to take good care of her, which we promised to do..."

Yes.
It was supposed to be a happy ending, but the situation suddenly turned for the worse.
