After her luck was taken away, she fell in love with the woman who traveled through time.

Liang Tan frowned slightly. She looked down at her waist and found that the jade pendant had disappeared.

Liang Tan, who usually doesn't have strong emotional fluctuations...now rarely shows anger.

Liang Tan looked at Cui Ling angrily.

Cui Ling mouthed, "As long as you can guess ten riddles, the jade pendant will be returned to you."

As he spoke, Cui Ling did not forget to shake the jade pendant in his hand.

The jade pendant was engraved with the noble lady's name and hung around her waist.

Only one's husband can take off the jade pendant from his waist as a token of love.

This is a unique custom among the noble ladies in the Jiangnan city.

Liang Tan's hands hanging by his side were still clenched.

She felt very uncomfortable with the feeling of being controlled and unable to resist.

Liang Tan glanced at the smiling Cui Ling, and she stopped in her tracks somewhat helplessly.

"I am willing to take on the challenge."

"Okay, then please guess my next riddle, young lady."

Liang Tan guessed ten questions in a row and got them all right.

The questioner was overjoyed. He praised Liang Tan loudly, "Miss, you are so smart. Please leave your name. I will hang the banner on the Heyang Garden Restaurant tomorrow."

Liang Tan didn't want to be in the spotlight, but it had come to this point, so she had to say her name: "Jiangnan City, Liang Tan."

"Liang, Tan."

"Liang Tan? Is she the eldest lady of the Liang family? I didn't expect that the eldest lady Liang is not only an excellent pipa player, but also an expert at guessing lantern riddles..."

"Yes, this Miss Liang..."

"Hey, do you remember that Miss Liang had a fiancé? It seems that her fiancé had a lover behind Miss Liang's back. I saw it with my own eyes last time at the Li Mansion..."

……

Liang Tan came down the stage holding a large Kongming lantern and walked through the crowd. Seeing this, Cui Ling hurriedly followed Liang Tan and said, "Liang Tan, wait for me!"

Liang Tan didn't wait for him, Cui Ling chased after her, chattering non-stop. Liang Tan turned a deaf ear to her until Cui Ling strode forward and blocked Liang Tan's way: "Don't be angry."

Liang Tan threw the Kongming lantern in his hand at Cui Ling and stretched out a hand towards him: "Give me back the jade pendant."

Cui Ling shook his head.

Seeing this, Liang Tan wanted to take the jade pendant directly from Cui Ling.

But what was unexpected was that Cui Ling was good at martial arts. With a light jump, he hung Liang Tan's jade pendant on a high branch.

"you……"

Liang Tan looked up, knowing that he couldn't reach it.

As a result, he became even more annoyed with Cui Ling who was smiling in front of him.

"What do you want in exchange for me returning it to you?" Liang Tan said.

Cui Ling looked at the large Kongming lantern in his arms and said with a smile, "On New Year's Eve, we have to release Kongming lanterns. Let's go and release Kongming lanterns."

Liang Tan was pulled away by Cui Ling again. Liang Tan looked at the jade pendant hanging on the tree worriedly.

Cui Ling seemed to have seen through Liang Tan's thoughts. He added, "Don't worry. This tree is very high. Most people can't climb it."

Liang Tan struggled: "..."

Her struggle was futile, and she was almost dragged by Cui Lingsheng to a bridge.

Cui Ling held the brush and ink he had bought at a stall. He pressed the brush into Liang Tan's hand and said, "Well, write now."

Liang Tan gave Cui Ling a cold look.

Cui Ling, however, was looking up at the sky lanterns flying in the sky.

People’s good wishes are written on every Kongming lantern.

Liang Tan was moved and swallowed the words of rejection that were about to come out.

She held a pen in her hand and wrote on the Kongming lantern.

When she finished writing, Cui Ling leaned over to take a look.

【The weather is good and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. 】

"Is this your wish?" Cui Ling looked at Liang Tan: "Have you never considered a wish for yourself?"

Yes, of course.

She wants all the unfaithful people in the world to be punished!

She wants all those who bully and betray her to suffer the consequences!

She wants to take back the luck that originally belonged to her!

Liang Tan showed no expression and said nothing.

Cui Ling took the brush and finished writing in a few strokes.

Seeing that Liang Tan had no curiosity at all, Cui Ling asked with a brush in hand: "Don't you want to know what I wrote?"

Liang Tan replied lightly, "Not interested."

"Liang Tan, Liang Tan, you are so boring." Cui Ling muttered. He lit the Kongming lantern and held it up with both hands: "Come on, let's fly the Kongming lantern together."

Liang Tan stood quietly beside Cui Ling without moving.

Cui Ling was not angry when he saw this. He gently loosened his hands, and the Kongming lantern slowly floated into the sky.

Cui Ling looked pious, and he whispered: "May all your wishes come true."

He said something else afterwards, but Liang Tan didn't hear it clearly.

It was not until the Kongming lantern flew far away that Liang Tan spoke again slowly: "Can you give me my jade pendant back?"

Cui Ling raised his eyebrows, leaped away with his light Kung Fu, and appeared in front of Liang Tan in the blink of an eye.

"Your jade pendant." Cui Ling returned the jade pendant to Liang Tan as promised.

Liang Tan reached out and took the jade pendant and hung it around his waist.

"Goodbye." Liang Tan said.

"Wait a minute." Cui Ling stopped her.

He took out the crumpled rabbit lantern from his arms and smiled a little embarrassedly: "This is a rabbit lantern for you."

Cui Ling placed the rabbit lantern in his hand in front of Liang Tan.

Liang Tan refused.

Cui Ling forcibly stuffed the lantern into Liang Tan's hand: "Here, it's your New Year's gift."

Cui Ling turned around, jumped again, and disappeared.

Liang Tan was left alone standing on the bridge.

Liang Tan was about to leave when someone called her name again.

Liang Tan instinctively looked for the source of the sound, and finally, her eyes fell on a small boat under the bridge.

The people on the boat wore straw raincoats and straw hats, and held long bamboo poles in their hands.

The wide straw raincoat covered the man's face.

Liang Tan pursed his lips.

Then, Cui Ling, who was wearing red on the boat, raised the brim of her hat and smiled at Liang Tan on the bridge: "Liang Xianyue!"

Liang Tan's fingers froze, and before he could react, he heard a spirited young man's voice on the boat.

"Rabbit lantern, I will make you a bigger and prettier one next time."

After saying that, Cui Ling burst into laughter and rowed out of Liang Tan's sight.

Liang Tan stood on the bridge and remained silent for a long time.

In the previous life, after Xu Shengsheng showed off at the gate of Heyang Garden, everyone gathered around Xu Shengsheng.

Liang Tan, who was ignored by everyone, left the group in a depressed mood, bought a rabbit lantern he liked at the end of the street, sat alone by the river, muttering many words to himself towards the rabbit lantern.

Finally, Dengzhi came to her anxiously, and she went back with the rabbit lantern.

But not long after, the rabbit lantern was broken by Xu Shengsheng.

Liang Tan was angry, but compared to what happened later, it was nothing.

She and Cui Ling had never met before, so how did he know that she liked rabbit lanterns?

As for riddles, it is true that she has no interest in this life, but the reason for her lack of interest is also because of the shadow left by Xu Shengsheng in her previous life.

Liang Tan lowered his eyes and looked at the wrinkled rabbit lantern in his hand, muttering: "Cui Ling..."
