It's still interesting to me in the context of Shen Wei (presumably) knowing about Zhao Yunlan's mother's death already

Yeeeah.

I wonder if he does know. You make an excellent point that he could, but I guess I would prefer it if he didn't because it's such personal information to secretly have about Zhao Yunlan, given Shen Wei's feelings about him. Hm, I can imagine Zhao Xinci speaking gruffly about a civilian casualty and never telling him the truth (possibly not wanting to open himself up to criticism)... and Shen Wei wouldn't have any unofficial way of hearing the news, since it long pre-dated Chu Shuzhi's presence at the SID.

(Or... oh no, now I'm trying to construct a conspiracy theory that Shen Wei doesn't know at this stage that Zhao Yunlan is Zhao Xinci's son, given Zhao is a very common name and why would his parentage be included in his personnel record? I should probably stop, though. *g*)
