Qin Tongpan just took office in Liaodong Prefecture this year, and he brought his wife, two sons, a daughter, and other family members along. Today, the Shen Mansion hosted a banquet, and both Qin Tongpan and his wife were invited. Madam Qin also brought her eldest daughter, Qin Ruojian, to attend the banquet.
Lian Manman had encountered Madam Qin and Qin Ruojian before, at a banquet hosted by the Lian Family. Since the Qin Family had just arrived and the two families hadn't interacted before, it was Qin Tongpan who sent a message to the house on Pine Tree Alley and also presented a congratulatory gift, congratulating Wu Lang for passing the graduate examination and Xiao Qi for becoming a scholar. This was when the Lian Manman family learned that Qin Tongpan was an old acquaintance of Mr. Loo, which explained why he sent a message and a gift.
