A woman with a high forehead, prominent ears, faint eyebrows, narrow eyes, and sharply protruding cheekbones, carrying an air of self-importance. She accused Ming Baoying and Ming Baojin of stealing her family's hatchet, which had been left at their place when Young Master Wen visited. She was dismissive of the girls' literacy and city background, but was left embarrassed when Ming Baoying proved the hatchet was marked with the Lan surname.
