Lian Manman's family has already lit up the lamps by this time. With things happening in the front yard, Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang have gone over, and Xiao Qi has also gone to the study to read night books with Xiao Long and Xiao Hu.

Very soon, Lian Manman noticed that Lady Zhang was absent-minded in her work today, seemingly having something on her mind.
"Mom, what are you thinking about?" Lian Manman paused in her task and asked Lady Zhang with a smile.
"Nothing in particular." Lady Zhang shook her head.
