Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Guess the Lantern Riddle

“Hey! Little brat, stop right there!”

Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, Luo Thirteenth could no longer bear the anger in her heart and quickly chased after the culprit.

The maid who followed closely behind her also hurriedly followed.

“Don’t chase me! Aren’t you just relying on your family’s power and status to bully and kill others? Even at such a young age, you are so malicious. What kind of person would you become when you grow up?”

How could Di Xuan miss this rare opportunity to undermine her?

“How daring, you troublemaker! How dare you yell at the Prefecture Princess? Don’t you want to live?!”

The maid by her side scolds in a hurry.

Di Xuan glanced sideways with a “I told you I was right” look, looking disdainfully at Luo Thirteenth. He casually raised his hand to tear off the riddle paper from the lantern, turned around, and continued to walk deeper into the crowd.

“Hey! You troublemaker… come back!”

That maid Lan’er couldn’t help but shout.

“Shut up! Give yourself ten slaps for this Prefecture Princess! Teach yourself a lesson!”

With a gloomy face, Luo Thirteenth was fed up with the way these maids, who were transferred from the Princess Consort’s courtyard, all looked down on her. They’ve become more and more spoiled and arrogant, and it’s time to discipline them!

Lan’er was unconvinced and mumbled, “Prefecture Princess, I am a servant sent by the Princess Consort…”

Facing Lan’er’s dissatisfied face, Prefecture Princess Luo scoffed coldly!

“No matter what, he is still my cousin. You are just a maid who can be beaten and scolded at will. Since you dare to point fingers and speak disrespectfully to your Master, ten slaps are already a mercy from this Prefecture Princess because of the Princess Consort’s face. Otherwise, I would have ordered someone to cut off your tongue and feed it to dogs! Shut up or get ten more slaps!”

Having said that, she ignored the pale-faced Lan’er behind her and quickly chased in the direction Di Xuan had gone.

“Hey! Little brat, don’t run!”

Although she was the Prefecture Princess, Luo Thirteenth still couldn’t escape her youthful nature. When she saw Di Xuan, who had somehow realized he was being chased, she ran deeper into the crowd, and her anger swelled even more in her chest.

“Stop, stop, little brat! Don’t run! Stop!”

“Do you think I’m stupid? If I don’t run now and you catch me, I’ll be doomed. Humph!” Di Xuan muttered to himself as he quickly darted into the crowd.

“Damn kid, how dare you run! When I catch you, I’ll skin you alive!”

Prefecture Princess Luo was naturally unwilling to give up and chased after him quickly.

The two of them zipped in and out of the crowd at high speed, unconsciously moving further and further away from where everyone was. The places they walked became more and more crowded, and soon they were separated by two full streets from the rest of the group.

However, neither of them noticed and continued playing their game of cat and mouse.

Now that the kids were no longer distracting her, Liu Sisi became even more engrossed in solving the lantern riddles.

There were different difficulty levels for the lantern riddles – A, B, C, and D – and naturally, the harder the riddle, the better the reward. At first, Liu Sisi solved any lantern riddles she saw. Gradually, she began focusing on the riddles in the center of the larger lanterns, where the difficulty level increased dramatically.

Guihua was comforting Ying’er who was particularly clingy to Guihua today. Ying’er liked her today because Guihua acted as the errand runner buying snacks. Basically, anything Ying’er took a fancy to and wanted, Guihua bought it for her.

Fortunately, Ying’er wasn’t the type of spoiled little girl to take advantage of this, and she knew her limits when buying things.

On the other side, Di Ye Lei supported Elderly Mr. Di, and Zhang Peng carried Da Mao on his shoulder, walking and talking at a leisurely pace, taking breaks along the way.

It was only when darkness gradually descended that the group had finished wandering just over half of the street.
