Baoqing turned around, lifted the hem of her skirt, and walked gracefully away.

Granny Liu hurriedly urged the matchmaker to quicken her pace and get there before the person left.

The matchmaker, who had been listening intently, dared not slow down upon seeing this. She immediately grabbed Shi Lan, scolded the others, and dragged them along until they finally arrived at the side hall before Liu Mama finished her business.

Madam Liu already knew that the matchmaker was coming today. When she met her, she didn't say much. She looked at the people the matchmaker brought one by one, casually pointed at them a few times, and kept five people. Shi Lan happened to be among those five people.

Liu Mama summoned a maid named Jusheng and ordered her to take the men away for training, while the matchmaker stayed behind to hand over the remaining tasks.

Jusheng was not old, and looked like he had just started growing his hair. Shi Lan only asked a few questions before finding out that there were six young ladies and two young men in the mansion. When she learned that the third young lady's mother had passed away during the relocation, and that she had grown up under the care of the old lady, Shi Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did her restless heart settle down. Although she wasn't completely certain, she believed that with time, she would eventually find out the details.

Jusheng led them to a courtyard. As soon as they entered, they saw a woman with her hair tied up in a cloth bun sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a pattern in her hand and threading a needle.

Jusheng led a few people to the woman, first bowing respectfully and addressing her as Lady Wang.

Lady Wang returned the greeting calmly, then turned to look at Shi Lan and the others, saying, "These are the girls who just entered the manor?"

Kikuyu respectfully replied, "Yes."

Ms. Wang waved her hand and said, "Alright, I understand. Come and pick them up in a month."

Kiku bowed, took two steps back, and gracefully withdrew.
