Rebirth of the General's Granddaughter Chapter 57Special Mid-Autumn Festival Gifts [3], Part 2
Shu YouLian was startled. Her gaze at him wasincreasingly more soul-sucking.
Zi You clearly saw the two's interaction, but shepretended to know nothing. "Grandfather, why don't we go to the burning towerto guess riddles?"
The ancient Mid-Autumn Festival's burning tower wasmade of broken bricks, tiles, tree branches and hay. It was a round kiln shapeand was hollow in the middle. It would be burned at the night of the Mid-AutumnFestival and there would be a burning tower competition. The redder and fiercerit burned, the better and more prosperous the year.
Under the Mid-Autumn moon, lots of lanterns werehung in public places. People gathered together to guess the riddles written onthe lanterns.
Because it was an activity that young men and womenlove, romantic rumors and stories frequently spread. So guessing Mid-Autumnlantern riddles meant trying to find a romantic partner.
But Zi You was only twelve years old and she wasgoing with her grandfather. Others would not suspect that she had an ulteriormotive.
Old General Mu was agreeing to Zi You when he heard"Ah!" He turned and saw Shui YouLian bent at the waist, gasping and out ofbreath. She crumpled onto the ground.
"Ah!" Zi You exclaimed with a hand over her mouth."YouLian…"
At this time, Mu YingRui stepped forward and pickedShui YouLian up.
Success! Zi You secretly laughed. The next half wasgoing to count on you, Shui YouLian. I hope you won't let me down.
Zi You's heart was happy, but face was filled withanxiety. She ran over to Mu YingRui and cried, "Father, quickly bring her intothe house. She has asthma and can't by in the wind."
Mu YingRui didn't bid his father goodbye. He carriedShui YouLian and ran to his study that was closest to the garden.
Zi You quickly took her leave and followed herfather to the study.
