On the full moon night of Mid-Autumn Festival, red lanterns were hung high. It was the Qin family's old mansion's first time in many years to be so lively and festive, even Li Dagui and the others were amazed. Although the place was crowded, it finally felt alive; it used to be too quiet.
During the festivals when only Qin Liuxi lived here, lanterns were hung for Mid-Autumn too, but they wouldn't bother with fancy activities like guessing lantern riddles. If Qin Liuxi was not around, they wouldn't even bother lighting extra lanterns. Now, however, red lanterns hung everywhere, exuding a festive atmosphere.
In Old Mrs. Qin's courtyard, even the low-hanging branches were adorned with riddles on lanterns, waiting for people to guess as laughter and amusement filled the air.
When Qin Liuxi, leading Qi Huang, arrived, she saw the garden filled with red and heard the joyful laughter, feeling somewhat bewildered. As she entered the room, she felt even more out of place.
