MTL - The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 13 13. Lantern Riddles

When you open it, you will see that it is a palm-sized stone surface inlaid with gold. It has gold as the base and many rice beads hanging thinly along the gold edge. The tourmaline is peach and the emerald is leaf. It is both gorgeous and delicate.

Those who are knowledgeable can see it at a glance and say excitedly, "Is this the dowry given to Princess Wen Yi by the palace?"

“Sister, you have a good eye. This is what I spent a long time with my mother to get as the jackpot. How about it?”

"In this case, the elder sister no longer hides it, she is bound to win it!"

The person who spoke was the fourth daughter of Zheng Guogong’s family. She treasured jewelry in daily life. How could she miss this good opportunity? So she invited three or two relatives and friends, and immediately formed a team and got the red bracelets.

Bai Siruo naturally wanted to join in the fun. He chose a white bracelet and joined Feng Jinyao, Xu Mingyue and other little sisters who usually played well as a team.

Soon, there were also candidates for yellow bracelets, and only purple bracelets were left. Bai Siruo was about to ask, when he saw Liang Luo saying loudly, "We choose purple."

As soon as these words came out, even those who wanted to participate might not have the courage.

We saw Wei Lanxuan, Liang Luo, and Wen Yuwei slowly coming forward. They all took the purple bracelets, but one person was missing.

Unexpectedly, Bai Sihan came out from behind, bowed to Wei Lanxuan, and said in a clear voice like a lark.

“Sister Wei, if you don’t mind me, Sihan is willing to join your team.”

"Oh, it's you?"

 “Bai Sihan, the legitimate daughter of the Bai family.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Bai Siruo, with both curiosity and gloating in their eyes.

The ones who were curious were naturally the ladies from aristocratic families who played well with Bai Siruo. They had never heard that Bai Siruo had sisters. The ones who were gloating were naturally Wen Yuwei, Liang Luo and others, and the sneers in their eyes almost didn't come out.

Wei Lanxuan showed a dignified and generous smile, then personally stepped forward to help Bai Sihan up, "Sister Bai was rarely seen in the past, but we need to interact with her more in the future."

"Thank you, sister." Bai Sihan looked like he was always following your lead, which made Wei Lanxuan secretly happy.

Prime Minister Bai and Duke Wei were both elders of the three dynasties. Although they were not openly political enemies, Duke Wei had already been a member of the Nine Princes Party. After trying many times to win over Prime Minister Bai, he did not see Prime Minister Bai express his position. Instead, he became angry and used it in private. Unexpectedly, all the stumbling blocks were resolved one by one. From then on, the Bai and Wei families had some secret conflicts.

Although it can't be said to be a blood feud, if they can make the other party suffer, they will enjoy the results.

Bai Siruo looked at Bai Sihan, the warning in his eyes was self-evident.

Her eyes almost popped out of her head, and she didn't see Bai Sihan give her a straight face. She was very angry, but Feng Jinyao grabbed her tightly and whispered in her ear.

 “Don’t forget your aunt’s instructions, don’t make trouble today.”

“Humph, consider her lucky. When the birthday party is over, let’s see how I deal with her.”

The character of the Bai family was completely ruined by this girl. She licked her face and sent it to the Wei family to step on. She was really as hateful as her mother, and she was even more angry with the mother and daughter in her heart.

“In that case, let’s talk about the rules of the game first. After all, there is no place without rules.”

Xu Mingyue came out to interrupt Bai Siruo's anger, but Liang Luo looked at it and sneered.

An imperceptible coldness flashed across Liang Luo's eyes. The daughter of the Xu family was really good-looking. She was obviously engaged to the Liang family, but she refused to say a word to her future sister-in-law. Every time she came forward, she She was coldly rebuffed when she deliberately approached, but now she was standing next to the Bai family. Wasn't this a slap in her face?

What a fake lady, but she actually does this behind the scenes!

So, with a hint of gunpowder in his tone, he faced Xu Mingyue and said provocatively, "How do you want Miss Xu to compete? We have to talk about it first. Everyone present is a witness. Don't let us win and not be able to take away the things."

Bai Siruo didn't like Xu Mingyue's future sister-in-law. She looked sarcastic and always thought highly of herself. She always felt that the aristocratic family in Mandongdu should be on good terms with her, so she retorted. "What a joke, I guarantee it in the name of the county owner. Since I took this thing out, I won't do anything for personal gain. If Miss Liang is really capable, just take it."

 “In that case, let’s take a look.”

Liang Luo's affirmative tone made the other two teams feel uncertain after hearing this. On the contrary, it aroused Bai Siruo to insist on competing.

 After several parties set up a battle, the eldest daughter of Zheng Guogong's family was the judge.

 The rules are also simple. There are ten sets of lantern riddles in total. Whoever guesses it first wins.

With a ding sound, the jade chopsticks hit the jade chime, and the game began.

Bai Siruo immediately opened all ten lantern riddles and handed them to the other three people.

I guess she can't do this, but with Xu Mingyue here, they can't lose.

Originally, I just wanted to add some luck and let the sisters and sister-in-law have fun, but I didn't expect that Wei Lanxuan and her group would get into trouble with them. In that case, there was nothing to be afraid of.

 After all, there are probably not many lantern riddles in the entire Dongdu city that Xu Mingyue doesn't know about.

The Xu family has a collection of tens of millions of books, and she grew up in a library, so she is naturally full of literary talent.

Xu Mingyue frowned and glanced at her, then whispered, "Don't be as knowledgeable as her, she is only a half-grown child."

Although the words did not say who it was, everyone present knew that she was talking about Liang Luo, the legitimate daughter of the Liang family. After all, the Xu and Liang families were engaged, and after the New Year, there was no telling when they would become a family. It does no good to anyone if the situation breaks out.

"Don't let me go. Before you became her sister-in-law, you were still my best sister."

Bai Siruo pouted and used sisterly affection as a "blackmail" in her words. Seeing her like this, Xu Mingyue couldn't help lowering her head to hide her smile. To Liang Luo and others, this scene seemed to be mocking them.

 “Hmph, you don’t know what’s good and what’s good!”

On the other hand, Bai Sihan on the side didn't think as much as they did. All he could think about was that he must take this opportunity to perform well today.

 “The wind comes and goes, and the geese move diagonally in front of the peak.”

After murmuring this sentence, the answer was quickly obtained.

 The word "Fengxian" fell on the paper, next.

 “My sister is very talented and learned, and she guessed the answer to the riddle so quickly.”

Wei Lanxuan was obviously very curious about this newly-appeared legitimate daughter of the Bai family. She originally thought that she was just there to **** off Bai Siruo, but she didn't expect that she was really upset.

“My sister was very complimentary. I just read two more books at home, and this sentence happened to be in them, so I wrote it down.”

 Humble attitude made Wei Lanxuan feel very comfortable.

After reading this answer, Liang Luo felt less contempt for her.

He was about to say something, but was interrupted by Bai Siruo's loud laughter.
