Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Guess the Lantern Riddle

Liu Sisi gave her an encouraging smile!

She signaled Guihua to calm down a bit, finally stabilizing her heart that almost jumped out of her chest.

The riddle solver looked calm, but the people around the lantern riddles gazed at Guihua in surprise and then buried their heads back into the riddles.

As he took a look at the first answer, he casually shook the paper strip in his hand: “No.1832 Bing Character Lantern Riddle answered correctly.”

He picked up the second one and glanced at it, tossing the paper strip into a nearby basket and squinting at Guihua: “No.324 A Character Lantern Riddle answered correctly!”

People in the surrounding crowd whispered to each other.

“It’s actually No.324 A Character Lantern Riddle, such a high-ranking lantern riddle has been answered correctly, it’s simply amazing!”

“Didn’t they just announce that the top 500 lantern riddles wouldn’t be solved by many even until the end? And that was not long ago…”

“It’s even a woman who managed to solve the riddles; these elder scholars have lost face now, haven’t they?”

“Let’s see about the others; are there any more who managed to solve them…”

The whispers from the crowd didn’t affect the riddle solver’s actions, as he continued to announce the results while picking up the paper strips.

“No.4635 Ding Character Lantern Riddle answered correctly!”

“No.869 Yi Character Lantern Riddle answered correctly!”

“No.156 A Character Lantern Riddle answered correctly!”

As soon as these words came out, not only did the surrounding people suddenly fall silent, but even the riddle solver raised his head and looked at Guihua in surprise.

The other riddle solvers also stood up, looking at the remaining riddles in the solver’s hand!

The riddles behind were naturally easy to solve, but the difficulty of the first 500 A Character lantern riddles was, of course, harder and harder. However, the seemingly ordinary married woman in front of them had cracked them open. How could that not be astonishing to the crowd?

Liu Sisi subconsciously took two steps back; she didn’t expect that solving a few lantern riddles would attract so much attention from everyone.

It seemed that she didn’t take this matter seriously enough herself, so she couldn’t blame others!

With so many eyes suddenly focused on Guihua, she felt goosebumps all over her body, and subconsciously turned around to look for Liu Sisi’s figure.

As she scanned around, Liu Sisi was no longer where she had been standing, which made her even more anxious, as she searched left and right.

Her expression immediately caught the attention of the crowd, who also started looking left and right.

Over at the riddle solver’s place, it seemed like they all had a look at the remaining riddles and discussed for quite a while before continuing to announce the results.

“The remaining riddles are all answered correctly. According to the rules, answering an A Character lantern riddle correctly earns a big lantern.”

The riddle solver got up to greet her: “Madam, since you answered the remaining riddles correctly, you will receive this year’s first big lantern as a reward.”

As he spoke, the riddle solver instructed his men to bring out a huge lantern and hand it over to Guihua.

This lantern, carried by two people, was slowly moved to the front.

“It’s so big? How…how am I going to take it away?”

Guihua looked around for help but couldn’t find where Liu Sisi’s figure had gone.

“Madam, if you think it’s too hard to carry away, we can also convert it to silver for you. However… after the conversion, the amount of silver you get will be halved. What do you think…”
