Transmigrated into a corrupt female county magistrate, defied fate and changed her life in a deserte

In the afterglow of the lights, Song Jinshu's back looked very lonely.

Lu Ruoyu was stunned. Did she dislike it?

She looked very sad, as if she was the only one in the world.

Perhaps feeling that he was quite useless, Song Jinshu started wandering around the top of the mountain.

Except for the Kongming lantern directly opposite them, all other places on the top of the mountain were lit with candles.

The bright lights in the dark night make it look romantic and mysterious, just like a proposal scene.

Thinking of this scene, her body stiffened and she was a little afraid to look directly at Lu Ruoyu.

Could it be that he was so impressed by her talent and beauty that he fell deeply under her charm and couldn't extricate himself...?

"My Lord, it's time for us to light the lanterns."

"Ah good!"

Song Jinshu was immersed in his own fantasy when he woke up unexpectedly. Seeing the other person's eyes as calm as water, he suddenly felt that he had thought too much.

She smiled awkwardly and immediately stepped forward to light the lantern.

"Wait a minute, you haven't written your wish yet." Lu Ruoyu held down her restless hand and reminded her with a chuckle.

Then he turned around to get a pen and ink, and placed it next to her. Song Jinshu curled his lips and said, "It's quite formal!"

Where he couldn't see, Song Jinshu was smiling from ear to ear, looking so happy.

Picking up the pen, Song Jinshu felt that she had no special wishes for herself. She thought for a while and wrote down "I wish the country prosperity, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and world peace."

Lu Ruoyu was stunned and silently kept her words in mind.

When she finished writing, Lu Ruoyu was about to take away the pen and ink, but she was stunned for a moment and grabbed him.

"Ruoyu, there are plenty of blank spaces on this Kongming lantern. Don't waste them. Write one on your side too!"

"It would be a shame not to make a wish on such a big lantern..."

Lu Ruoyu suddenly paused. What did she call him? Ruoyu?

He also didn't expect that she would hold him and ask him to write a wish as well.

Today is her birthday, so what's the point of asking him to make a wish?

While he was daydreaming, Song Jinshu had already pushed him to the opposite side and urged him to write quickly.

Lu Ruoyu reluctantly agreed and finished writing it quickly.

"Then I'll light the lantern!" Song Jinshu excitedly took the torch and lit the candle under the Kongming lantern.

At this time, the two smiled at each other, tacitly let go of their hands, and the Kongming lantern slowly floated away with the wind.

At this time, countless sky lanterns were flying in every corner of the Xifang Town at the foot of the mountain.

In a very short time, the Kongming lanterns lit up the sky.

They stood high and could see far, and all the beautiful scenery of the town was before their eyes.

Looking at the beauty that seemed out of this world, Song Jinshu cheered happily. For the first time, she showed the innocent smile of a young girl.

"It's so beautiful! It's like a dream!"

Seeing the girl happy, Lu Ruoyu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled particularly beautifully.

He knew she would like it, and his preparations over the past few months would be worth it.

Song Jinshu happily spun around, looking up at the starry sky, and suddenly sighed, "It would be even more beautiful if there were fireworks, but it's a pity that I probably won't have the chance to see them in this lifetime."

"What are fireworks?" Lu Ruoyu followed her gaze, confusion flashing in her eyes.

"Fireworks! They explode into the sky and burst into all sorts of flower shapes. So beautiful!"

Lu Ruoyu seemed to be lost in thought, and silently memorized the fireworks in her heart, planning to find them for her later.

Suddenly, Song Jinshu noticed that a certain place in Xifang Town was blindingly bright, and there was thick smoke billowing.

She was shocked and said, "Oh no! There's a fire down there!"

Lu Ruoyu also saw it. He fixed his eyes on her and said softly, "Don't panic, Jinshu! During every festival, there are always fires somewhere, so people will be deployed to put out fires in busy places."

"I've taken this into consideration and have already arranged for people to keep an eye out. If they discover a fire, they'll immediately dispatch people to put it out!"

Song Jinshu was anxiously preparing to run down the mountain, but after hearing his words, she calmed down and looked towards the town again.

As he said, it seemed that there were people putting out the fire where the water broke out, and the fire was much smaller.

Her tense nerves relaxed a lot. Seeing that she had calmed down, Lu Ruoyu walked up to her, grabbed her wrist, and then handed the lantern to her other hand.

"It's dark and the road is hard to see. There are a lot of gravel on the mountain, so be careful not to fall. I'll take you down!"

After saying that, he picked up another lantern and did not let go of the hand that was holding Song Jinshu.

Song Jinshu didn't feel anything was wrong, but she did almost fall a few times when she came up the mountain.

Just looking at the flames on the top of the mountain, she said worriedly: "The candles on this mountain are still lit, they won't burn the mountain down, right?"

Lu Ruoyu paused and sighed helplessly: "Don't worry, there is water around the candle. If the wind blows on the candle, the water will extinguish it."

"Besides, there are only a few candles left, and they are almost all burned out. There may be frost tonight, so the mountain won't burn."

Song Jinshu looked at the top of the mountain. It was quite open and there were no flammable branches, flowers or plants. Water was placed next to the candles. The protective measures were very good.

She felt relieved instantly and followed Lu Ruoyu down the mountain with peace of mind.

At this time, Xifang Town was in chaos for a while because of the fire, but as the fire was brought under control, the people were no longer panicked.

Zi Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. The fire had just started suddenly and was not far from them.

If the guards hadn't rescued them, her princess would probably have been injured!

It's too dangerous here. The princess can't stay here any longer. She has to go back on behalf of the princess first!

Zi Yu turned to look at her own princess, determined to persuade her to go back, but the princess who was originally standing next to her was gone!

Not even a shadow!

Zi Yu was so scared that her legs went weak and she looked around like crazy for someone.

"Miss! Miss! Where are you? Old man, have you seen my young lady?"

"Auntie, have you seen my young lady? She's wearing a light red dress and looks sweet and lovely!"

“…Miss…Miss, where are you? Come out now and stop scaring me!”

Zi Yu asked around, but no one had seen Princess Leping. She was frantically looking for someone.

Seeing that there was no trace of the princess, her eyes went dark and she almost fainted.

As the guard came out of the fire scene, he saw Ziyu sleeping on the ground. He was startled and pulled her up: "Why are you here alone? Where is the young lady?"

"Miss? Miss?"

Ziyu slowly came back to her senses. Seeing the guard coming over, she suddenly became excited and tore at the guard's collar: "The young lady is missing! She's missing! Hurry and find her!"

The guards were shocked, and then they were terrified. If anything happened to the princess, they would all be buried with her.

He threw the purple jade back to the ground and quickly started looking around.

Wang Er and his men had been following the two skinny men. The moment they saw the fire, the two men quickly grabbed a young lady who looked very wealthy.

Moreover, the two men's movements were skillful and quick, and they were also familiar with the escape route.
