Xia Wanniang doesn’t care at that time. Even if it’s mountains of swords and seas of fire, she will give it a try.

The two walked in silence on the way to Liuyang Village.

Xia Wanniang's red Xiuhe dress was extremely eye-catching in the snow. She was also naturally pretty. Apart from her pale and thin complexion, her facial features were absolutely pleasing to the eye.

Along the way, she attracted a lot of people's attention, and they pointed and commented on her.

Anyone who knew Liu the Matchmaker would come forward to ask whose family the new bride was.

After Liu the matchmaker finished speaking, these people saw Xia Wanniang and shook their heads with some regret.

Xia Wanniang became more and more curious. What was going on with her future husband's family?

When we arrived at the foot of the mountain behind Liuyang Village, we saw a low adobe house covered in snow, which looked like it was about to collapse.

Matchmaker Liu brought her to the door. There was a wooden fence outside the adobe house, and the yard could be seen through the gaps.

Xia Wanniang looked at the courtyard inside. Although it was not big and was covered with a layer of white snow, she could not see anything else. There were two "happiness" characters cut out of red paper pasted on the door and the window, which added a bit of liveliness to the courtyard.

Matchmaker Liu raised her hand and knocked on the door, "Knock knock knock."

After a while, a woman came out of the main house. The wooden fence blocked most of her face, so I couldn't see her appearance clearly. I just felt that she seemed a little weak and walked unsteadily.

Aunt Xiao opened the gate and smiled when she saw the two of them. Just as she was about to speak, she inhaled a gust of cold wind, which caused her to cough.

Xia Wanniang saw her face clearly. She was dignified and beautiful. Although she was wearing a coarse linen dress, it could not hide her noble temperament. She did not look like a peasant at all.

When Matchmaker Liu saw her coughing, she hurried into the yard to help her up and patted her on the back gently: "Auntie Xiao, you are still not well."

Aunt Xiao recovered and thanked Matchmaker Liu. She turned to look at Xia Wanniang who was looking at her curiously: "You must be Wanniang!"

Xia Wanniang nodded gently: "Yes."

Aunt Xiao looked at her and nodded repeatedly with satisfaction: "I'm sorry, child. I was sick these few days, and Chiye went to the mountains to hunt for my medical treatment. I haven't come back today. I couldn't come to pick you up in person. I'm sorry that you have been wronged."

After saying that, he looked at Xia Wanniang, who was only wearing a thin Xiuhe dress, and immediately shouted inside: "Zisen, bring grandma's cloak."

Xia Wanniang saw a three-year-old child coming out holding a cloak that was washed so much that it looked bleached. The child had a small face the size of a palm and a pair of big eyes that were particularly bright.

He handed the clothes to Aunt Xiao, turned around and ran back into the house and never came out again.

Aunt Xiao shook the cloak in her hand and put it on Xia Wanniang: "Don't mind it, this child is a little shy. It's so cold, and I let you walk here alone..." Before she finished her words, she started coughing again.

Xia Wanniang felt warm, and her pretty eyes curved into crescents as she smiled: "It's okay, I'm not cold."

"Your little face is red from the cold, but you still say you're not cold." Aunt Xiao said as she reached out and held her hands, both of which were icy cold: "Why are your hands so cold?"

Matchmaker Liu was relieved to see the two getting along so well. "I have sent the people to you. When your husband Chiye comes back, let them get married early."

Aunt Xiao took out a purse from her bosom and stuffed it into the pocket of Matchmaker Liu: "Thank you so much."

Matchmaker Liu declined: "Your family is not doing well right now. This child is a good one, but her father and stepmother don't like her. If you treat her well, it won't be in vain for me to be a matchmaker."

Aunt Xiao held onto Xia Wanniang's hand without letting go: "Since she has come to my house, I will naturally treat her well and treat her like my own daughter."

Matchmaker Liu smiled and nodded, then looked at Xia Wanniang and said, "Wanniang, live a good life from now on."

Xia Wanniang knelt slightly and bowed to her: "Thank you, Aunt Liu."

Aunt Xiao sent Matchmaker Liu away, coughed a few times, and was so weak that she could not stand steadily.

Xia Wanniang supported her and said, "Auntie Xiao, are you okay?"

Aunt Xiao smiled and shook her head. She was not angry at her words: "It's okay. I'm just old and my body is not used anymore." Then she took her hand and walked into the house: "Let's go back to the house and talk. It's too cold outside."

Xia Wanniang held her hand and could feel that the temperature of her hand was a little too high. Seeing that her face was a little flushed, she took her pulse with the ancient medical skills she had learned in her spare time.

As soon as the two entered the room, before they could say a word, Aunt Xiao tilted her body and fell to the ground.
