The three children made their way to Liutiao Street, rounding the corner to find a small tea stall on the roadside, with a snack shop next to it.
"Second Sister, look," Xiao Qi suddenly pointed to the tea stall beside them and said to Lian Manman, "It's Aunt He and Second Brother."
Lian Manman followed Xiao Qi's pointing finger and saw that there weren't many people at the tea stall. Seated at a table by the roadside were three individuals, indeed Lady He and Lian Erlang from the Lian Family, Lian Jizong. Lady He's hair, slick and glossy from some substance, shone in the light. Both were dressed in brand-new clothes, with Erlang even donning a straight robe. Beside them sat a middle-aged woman, exceedingly well-dressed, none other than Matchmaker Wang, who had visited the Lian Family to discuss the match that day.
"What are Aunt He and the others up to here?" Lian Manman wondered.
