The second sister is getting married and is engaged to Wang Yuzhi, the eldest son of the Wang family.

I sat with my eyes closed in the carriage, but my mind was filled with thoughts of the second sister.

Wang Yuzhi, the eldest son of the Wang family, has a good reputation in the capital city. He has a handsome appearance and is very considerate and caring towards women. He is often referred to as "the reincarnation of Pan An".

His father, Mr. Wang, is known for his integrity as an official and remains faithful to his deceased wife. He has not remarried even after many years.

"Yes, Miss Liu is kind-hearted. She deserves such good fortune. It's truly a blessing from the Bodhisattva."

"Indeed, a few years ago, when our hometown was hit by a flood, I fled to the capital city with my wife and children. Thanks to Miss Liu's three months of daily porridge distribution, my wife, who had just given birth, would have died without her."

"Miss Liu is such a good person..."

Along with Pang Er's response came the increasingly jolting and creaking sound of the wheels.
