After being reborn, her aloof ex-husband and her crazy deceased husband got into a fight.

Lan Tingzhou led Gan Cai'er forward slowly, his steps unhurried. His hand was cool, dry, and steady. Meng Yu's gaze was like a thorn in her back, making Gan Cai'er tense. She unconsciously wanted to pull her hand away.

I tried to pull it out, but it wouldn't budge.

"This is in public; people will laugh at us if they see this," Gan Cai'er whispered, leaning closer to the Lanting Boat.

"Who can laugh at me for taking my wife to the lantern festival?" Lan Tingzhou tilted his head slightly, glanced at her sideways, and said in a cold voice.

Lan Tingzhou's gaze was indifferent, tinged with a hint of coldness. Gan Cai'er's heart clenched, alarm bells ringing. Something was wrong; Lan Tingzhou's emotions were very strange!

This person has always been extremely intelligent; could he have guessed something? Gan Cai'er's heart pounded.

The words of Lan Tingzhou's "thirty strokes of the cane" were still ringing in Gan Cai'er's ears, and she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, feeling a sudden, inexplicable pain in her buttocks. No, she absolutely couldn't let him find any fault with her!

Gan Cai'er gritted her teeth and forcefully broke free from Lan Tingzhou's grasp. Before Lan Tingzhou's expression could change, she pounced on him and affectionately hugged his arm tightly.

She looked up at him, her eyes sparkling, her smile wide: "Alright! As long as you're not afraid of being laughed at, I'm even less afraid. Anyway, I'm wearing a mask."

Gan Cai'er's voice was sweet and charming, with a hint of smug pride.

Although Lan Tingzhou couldn't see her face, he could perfectly imagine what she looked like: smiling, with a slight upturn of her lips, as smug as a little sparrow with its tail held high.

"What do I have to be afraid of?" Lan Tingzhou smiled faintly, the coldness in his eyes gradually fading.

When it comes to coaxing Lan Tingzhou, Gan Cai'er is a pro; she can win him over in the blink of an eye!

She clung tightly to Lan Tingzhou, like a pendant hanging beside him, completely ignoring the astonished glances of passersby.

"This, this, this is simply outrageous!" Wei Shi'an couldn't stand it and shook his head.

"No, I have to remind Brother Lan."

As he spoke, Wei Shi'an flicked his sleeves, ready to step forward quickly.

Zhu Xiaoxiao reached out and grabbed him, glaring at him: "It's none of your business what other couples do."

Wei Shi'an paused, then immediately gave up.

"Oh, well, I don't care anymore, I don't care."

"Come on, let's go over there and solve the riddles." With that, Zhu Xiaoxiao pulled Wei Shi'an in another direction.

Gan Cai'er pointed to a jade rabbit palace lantern and cheerfully said to Lan Tingzhou, "Look, look, this lantern is so exquisitely made, the rabbit's eyes are even moving~~~"

The two of them stood side by side under the colorful lanterns, both looking at the rotating jade rabbit palace lantern.

One of them was elegant and handsome, gentle and refined; the other was petite and charming, with sparkling eyes. One looked up, full of joy, while the other had his eyes lowered, full of tenderness. One was fair-skinned, the other was radiant in red... They were truly a perfect match, a beautiful couple who were pleasing to the eye just by standing there.

"Hehe, in this world, my brother and sister-in-law are the most well-matched couple," Lan Tingzhi said cheerfully from the side.

Upon hearing this, Lan Tingzhou turned his head slightly and glanced at him indifferently, but showed no sign of blaming him.

At this moment, he was completely coaxed by Gan Cai'er.

Gan Cai'er was so focused on appeasing the one in front of her that she didn't see the other one behind her, whose hands were clenched tightly together, veins bulging.

Meng Yu's eyes flashed coldly, and a murderous aura gathered between his brows. He lifted his foot, about to head towards the two of them.

Chu Mingyuan, standing beside him, quickly grabbed him and said, "Meng San, don't cause any trouble here today. If you ruin the Lantern Festival at Zhaixing Tower, my brother will skin me alive!"

Zhaixinglou was a property owned by the Sinanbo family.

Chu Mingyuan noticed Meng Yu's unusual behavior early this morning and was afraid that the man might suddenly lose his temper and cause trouble. Therefore, he stayed by Meng Yu's side the whole time, keeping an eye on him.

At first, when Zhu Mingyuan saw Meng Yu staring at Shen Yunxi, he thought he was just imagining things. But when Gan Cai'er appeared, Zhu Mingyuan realized that he was absolutely right.

Meng Yu is definitely after Gan Cai'er!

This truly shocked Chu Mingyuan! The young lady from the Lan family was a respectable woman. "Forcibly abducting a respectable woman" was a violation of the laws of the Great Yong Dynasty. If this escalated, Meng Yu would have to face punishment in court!

Although the young lady of the Lan family was beautiful, she was merely beautiful; she wasn't quite at the level of being a celestial being or breathtakingly beautiful. How could she have captivated Meng Yu so much that he was willing to take such a great risk and refuse to let go?

Chu Mingyuan was completely baffled.

When Chu Mingyuan stopped him, Meng Yu regained some of his composure. He turned his head and looked at Chu Mingyuan with a deep gaze.

"Chu Laoyao, go and find the answers to all the riddles in the building for me."

"Meng San, are you sure you don't go that far? They're just a couple showing affection, why are you meddling?"

Chu Mingyuan felt it necessary to remind his friend that Gan Cai'er was a married woman, and that her husband was standing right next to her at that moment.

But Chu Mingyuan never expected that his phrase "the two of them, a married couple" would be like a needle pricking Meng Yu's most sensitive nerve, causing him to instantly unleash a strong murderous aura.

"Are you going or not?! If you're not going, I'm going to steal that lamp right now!"

"Meng San, you son of a bitch! Don't you dare do anything reckless! I'm going, I'm going right now, you just wait."

Meng Yu exuded a menacing aura, making Chu Mingyuan shudder. How did this little tyrant suddenly turn into a devil? Where did he get such a chilling murderous intent? It was quite frightening. Well, he'd better keep his mouth shut about the Lan family's young lady's affairs from now on.

Not long after, Chu Mingyuan returned with a large stack of slips of paper and handed them to Meng Yu.

"Here it is. It includes the ten below the King of Lamps. Go find them one by one, and then exchange them."

Meng Yu glanced at Lan Tingzhou and Gan Cai'er in the corridor, then threw the note back into Chu Mingyuan's arms.

"Give this to Huangfu first, and tell him to find an opportunity to help Shen Yunxi so that she can also get to the Lantern King smoothly."

Chu Mingyuan was momentarily stunned; he truly couldn't understand it now. Who exactly had Meng Yu taken a liking to?

The riddles on the fourth floor were indeed not simple. Lantingzhou stopped and started, and it took him more than an hour to guess all the riddles in the corridor.

However, he didn't feel tired or annoyed at all. All along the way, Gan Cai'er clung to his arm, occasionally acting coquettishly towards him. Gan Cai'er hadn't been this close to him in a long time, which made him feel that even a few more riddles wouldn't be a problem.

After handing over the answer to the riddle to Zhaixinglou, Lantingzhou finally led Gan Cai'er into the room with the lantern hanging in it.

Calling it a room isn't quite accurate; it should be called a pavilion.

At the very center of the top floor of the Star-Picking Tower, a wooden pavilion was specially built for the Lantern King. Its eaves are upturned, and strings of copper bells hang from them, swaying gently in the breeze and occasionally making a crisp sound. This year's Lantern King, a colorful lotus glass lantern, hangs high in the center of the pavilion, emitting a dazzling and brilliant light.

"As expected of the King of Lights, it's truly beautiful," Gan Cai'er couldn't help but exclaim.

Walking down these floors, one sees countless exquisite lanterns in the Star-Picking Tower, but compared to this lantern, they all pale in comparison and are not worth mentioning.

Just as Gan Cai'er was sighing, she suddenly heard a joyful voice behind her.

"Young Master Lan, you're here too?"

Gan Cai'er suddenly turned around and saw a young girl standing behind her. Her features were exquisite, her demeanor serene and elegant, her eyes clear as water, and her white dress was spotless and immaculate.

It was Shen Yunxi.
