Zheng Delin smirked triumphantly. "Of course. I heard the little girl is the real prize, like a little jade doll."
"Oh, I'll have to see for myself then." The old woman shut the door. "Open it up, let me see. If the quality is good, I'll make it worth your while."

Liu Lanhua deftly untied the sack and pulled the two children out. Because her hands and feet were bound and her mouth was gagged, Little Red Carp could only sit on the ground.
When the old woman saw Little Red Carp's tender, pink-cheeked appearance, her eyes widened. She stammered, "M-my heavens... This child's features are exquisite. She really is the prize you mentioned. Wait here, I'll go get your money."
