This does not sound like she's primarily a Matriarch to me. Going just by the description given at the end of the this update I'd almost guess she only functions as Matriarch because it's useful to Shenhua.

I actually think its the opposite. If she was allowed to follow her preference she would do nothing other than bask in Shenhua's light, but because she's the Diao Matriarch she goes out of her way to shield her clan from her love's destructiveness. I'm not sure Shenhua has anything to do with it really, more that Linqin has a stronger drive to fulfill her assumed responsibility than we've either seen prior to this or at least given her credit for.

I do agree that it is useful for Shenhua, but I think that's just a happy by-product of her innate character. I could be wrong about that, but I don't think we'd have been able to pick the Matriarch option at all given the instruction to be fully truthful otherwise.
 
[X] A Wife (Want +1 XP)

Because there is potentially some interesting information with the option what with Shenhua going through 3 realms in a decade.
 
[X] A Wife (Want +1 XP)

I can't in good conscience vote to anything else without this being present.
May she not suffer too much.

[X] A Matriarch (Community +1 XP)

Because this is what I wish to answer, for that sweet community xp, but also because a matriarch should look out for the good of the greater family, if she can't do so for the whole, which she does/shows here.
