On 26/3, through her legal representative, Liu Xiaohong, Liu Xiaoqing's maternal half-sister, addressed rumors that she and her son were scheming to seize the star's assets. Liu Xiaohong stated that the sisters previously lived near each other, and she and her husband worked for Liu Xiaoqing's company without receiving insurance. Due to differing lifestyles and perspectives, many conflicts arose, leading her family to relocate to Sichuan province while Liu Xiaoqing remained in Beijing.

Liu Xiaohong said that she and her husband seek nothing, preferring a simple life free from conflict. She calmly accepted her sister's decision not to bequeath assets to relatives, opting instead to donate all her wealth to a film development fund. She wrote, "I approve of her wishes; we only hope she stays healthy and happy."

According to Liu Xiaohong, those currently close to Liu Xiaoqing have malicious intentions, eyeing the star's wealth and disregarding her physical and mental well-being. Xiaohong believes these individuals are sowing discord between the two sisters through various means. She denied rumors such as: "the sister stole Liu Xiaoqing's jewelry, defrauded Liu Xiaoqing of money," or claims that "the sister hopes Liu Xiaoqing has no children to exclusively seize her assets," and "the nephew spread rumors of Liu Xiaoqing's death."

The relationship between the star and her relatives garnered significant attention on Weibo on 25/3, after Liu Xiaoqing posted screenshots accusing her nephew of spreading rumors of her death. The artist wrote, "Do you wish for my death so much? Born from the same root, why such eagerness to torment each other?" However, the actress later deleted the post.

Liu Xiaoqing has been through three marriages and has no children. In 2013, she married businessman Wang Xiaoyu for the fourth time. Over the past two years, some sources revealed the artist had divorced, but she has not yet commented on her marital status. According to Ifeng, the artist owns millions of USD in assets, including villas in China and the US, along with rare jade jewelry.

Liu Xiaoqing's parents have passed away, leaving her with a sister and a nephew. On Iqiyi, the star admitted that her familial relationships are strained; she has never felt love or concern from her sister's family or her nephew, feeling they are "more malicious than outsiders." Liu Xiaoqing declared that upon her death, her assets would be donated to a film development organization, with no portion going to her relatives.

Liu Xiaoqing has been active in the entertainment industry for over 50 years, renowned for her roles in "Empress Wu Zetian", "Burning of Epang Palace", "Fire Phoenix", "Little Flower", and "Hibiscus Town". At the peak of her fame in 2002, she was investigated for business law violations and tax evasion, resulting in 442 days in prison. Thanks to her acting talent, Liu Xiaoqing gradually regained her position as a leading actress after her release. In recent years, she has consistently appeared in films, television series, short films, and participated in TV shows.
