The group burst into laughter.
Lin Chang'an thought of Lin Wanwan's inner thoughts just now and looked at the woman opposite him.
Then he leaned close to Yao Qianshu's ear and whispered a few words, and Yao Qianshu's eyes flickered.
"Okay, okay."
Upon hearing this, Yao Qianshu sang and danced as he ran towards the lamplight.
At that moment, Liu Ruyan lit a lamp and, with the help of her maid Dingxiang, placed it into the lake.
"Lilac, thank goodness you are so thoughtful, reminding me to release the lanterns and make a wish."
"Where did you find this lantern?"
Dingxiang smiled and said, "Madam, this lantern was brought from the manor by your servant. Since you said you wanted to come out, I brought it with me."
"I thought to myself, if you come, I will give you the lantern in advance."
Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "Okay."

Glug glug.
Her voice was filled with panic, and her vision slowly blurred.
Liu Ruyan didn't expect things to turn out this way so suddenly. The position she was standing in was blocked from her view by her own body.
Everyone assumed she was the one who pushed Dingxiang into the water, so they whispered among themselves, "Who is this? Who would murder their own maid?"
Lin Shixuan, who was standing under the tree, heard the whispers of the people and quickly ran to Liu Ruyan's side.
