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

"Are you worried?"

The two sat face to face, and Song Jinshu asked softly.

Just looking at his expression, Song Jinshu could feel that he was in a bad mood even with his eyes closed.

Moreover, he brought wine and meat to worship on New Year's Eve, which was very inconsistent with his usual behavior.

Lu Ruoyu paused slightly, a hint of loss flashed in his eyes, and he forced a smile in front of Song Jinshu.

"I didn't expect you to see it."

Song Jinshu rolled her eyes. She was not blind.

"If it's convenient, please tell me. Although I may not be able to solve it for you, I can help you relieve your boredom~"

Lu Ruoyu smiled helplessly and said jokingly, "Maybe you can really solve it?"

Song Jinshu looked at him in surprise, waiting for his next words, but Lu Ruoyu shifted his gaze.

"Are you curious why I would go out to worship on New Year's Eve?"

Song Jinshu didn't know the reason. After all, this was someone else's private matter, so she chose to remain silent.

"I told you before that my grandmother is the only one left at home, but I would rather go out and serve her in her old age than go home."

This topic was too heavy, and no matter how curious he was, Song Jinshu didn't dare to ask.

Lu Ruoyu continued, "My grandmother is not my biological grandmother. She has always blamed me for killing my entire family, so I have never been able to face her. She also doesn't want to see me, so I ran away to escape..."

"Do you also think I'm too cowardly?"

Song Jinshu was shocked and couldn't say any words of comfort, as she didn't know the truth.

It is not appropriate to export rashly...

"So how did your family members die? Why do you say it was because of you?"

She could see that Lu Ruoyu came from a prominent family, but she didn't know that his family would encounter such a thing.

Lu Ruoyu paused for a long time, as if lost in memories. Song Jinshu turned the wine bowl around and waited quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Ruoyu sighed softly, "When I was ten years old, I disappeared because I was too playful. My parents, uncles, and elders all went out to look for me, but they were all chased by thieves. They even chased me to my home and didn't even spare children."

"My grandmother escaped the disaster, but I was separated from her. When I finally found my way home, a funeral had already taken place. Suddenly, out of the vast family, only my grandmother and I were left to depend on each other."

"When I was thirteen, she almost died. That year, a Taoist priest came and said that I was unlucky for my relatives and that my parents and uncles had died because of me..."

When Lu Ruoyu said this, his breathing became unstable and he seemed to be in discomfort and pain. Song Jinshu held his hands and patted them.

Her eyes were full of heartache: "It's not your fault!"

Lu Ruoyu gradually calmed down her anger, smiled slightly, and signaled that he was fine.

"My current grandmother was my grandfather's second wife. He never liked my father's family, and because of the Taoist priest's lies, she was convinced that I was the one who killed my second uncle."

"For the next two years, she wasn't very close to me, but she wasn't harsh to me either. But then she suddenly kicked me out."

Song Jinshu frowned upon hearing this. "But that's unrealistic! You're the only male in the mansion, after all. Is she kicking you out to end her family lineage?"

After listening to Lu Ruoyu's description, Song Jinshu was very displeased with his step-grandmother. Such a stepmother was too speechless.

Moreover, it was not Lu Ruoyu's words that the whole family was wiped out. What did the enemies' revenge have to do with him, a ten-year-old boy?

Song Jinshu was indignant for Lu Ruoyu, but Lu Ruoyu's expression did not change at all.

He had long been disappointed with his grandmother, but out of filial piety, he could only try to avoid her.

"When I was fifteen, my grandmother suddenly brought home a four or five-year-old child from outside, saying it was my second uncle's son who was being raised outside."

"She wanted to seize all the family property and leave it to that child, so she found a way to frame me for being unfilial and expel me from the family."

"Later, my brother-in-law heard about this and cleared my name. He also helped me divide the family, branching out from my father's lineage, and secured for me all the things that belonged to our family."

When Song Jinshu heard the family secret for the first time, she was both angry and distressed.

She really couldn't believe that someone as gentle and kind as Lu Ruoyu would meet such a black-hearted step-grandmother.

If he had not been so lucky, he would have died early.

Fortunately, he has a good brother, otherwise she really couldn't swallow this.

Song Jinshu took a deep breath, looked at Lu Ruoyu, and patted his shoulder with heartache.

"Your blessings are still to come! Don't take those unworthy people and things to heart."

"You didn't kill your parents. It was an enemy seeking revenge. What do you, a half-grown child, know? So stop adding more burden and pressure to yourself."

Lu Ruoyu looked at her blankly, and suddenly laughed. He thought that after he told her these things, she would hate him.

Unexpectedly, she didn't care at all and even comforted him.

"Yeah! I understand."

He had let it go over the years, killed his enemies, and paid tribute to his parents' souls.

"Come! I'll toast you a glass and wish you peace and happiness for the rest of your life!" Song Jinshu said, raising the fruit wine in his hand.

Lu Ruoyu put aside her worries and clinked glasses with her openly. The two of them chatted and laughed for a long time.

Before he knew it, it was dark and he sent Song Jinshu back to the Song Mansion.

Not far from the gate, he took out a jade bracelet from his sleeve. The jade bracelet was of very good quality and felt warm to the touch. It was warm jade!

Lu Ruoyu fumbled with it for a few seconds, then solemnly put it on her and explained lightly: "Take this. If you encounter problems that you cannot solve in the future, you can show this to any Fulai Inn, and they will do their best to help you."

The jade bracelet on Song Jinshu's jade-like wrist seemed to make her even more beautiful.

Lu Ruoyu's eyes darkened, and there was something he didn't dare to tell her. In fact, this jade bracelet was also a relic of his mother.

He had wanted to give it to her on her last birthday, but unfortunately accidents happened frequently at that time and he didn't have time to give it to her.

After putting on the jade bracelet, Song Jinshu felt the warmth on her wrist. She was shocked and subconsciously wanted to take it off.

"This jade bracelet is so valuable, I can't accept it! You should take it back!"

No reward without merit. Even if she was greedy for money, she would not dare to take such valuable things from others.

Song Jinshu was reluctant to take it off, and handed it back to him with gritted teeth. To be honest, she fell in love with the jade bracelet at first sight.

It's a pity she can't take it.

Lu Ruoyu shook her head and didn't take it. Instead, she said casually, "It's useless for me to keep it. It's just right for you. If you don't use this jade bracelet, it would be a pity to let it gather dust."

"You can give it to your future wife and daughter. What's the big deal if I take it?" Song Jinshu said weakly.

Lu Ruoyu chuckled helplessly: "I have no intention of getting married, just take it. It's getting late, hurry home!"

Song Jinshu looked up at the sky and it was indeed pitch black.
