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

With Old Lady Liu suddenly urging her to get married, Song Jinshu was in a state of confusion.

She smiled awkwardly: "This... Grandma, I'm not in a hurry! Besides, the official business in Jingyang County is complicated, and I have no intention of getting married for the time being."

Madam Liu shook her head in disapproval, "How can I not be anxious? Don't be afraid, I'm not forcing you to get married... I know you definitely don't want to get married, but you have to have a child!"

"A man can have three wives and four concubines, but you can also find a good, obedient and sensible man to raise at home and have children with!"

"Ah?" Song Jinshu opened his mouth in shock.

Her grandmother is fine when she doesn't speak, but when she does, it's shocking!

Compared to Song Jinshu's fuss, Old Madam Liu was much calmer. She coaxed him softly, "You are the county magistrate, and in the future you will be the chief minister of Shun'an Prefecture. It is his blessing that he likes that man."

"Even if he is not given a title, he wouldn't dare to cause trouble."

"But this child is your biological child, so naturally he should be recorded in the Song family tree. When you are old, he will be able to take care of you and see you to the end of your life."

"And wouldn't you like to have a hot meal waiting for you when you come home? And someone to help with the housework?"

Song Jinshu was silent. Damn it, what should she do if she suddenly felt a little moved?

"Well... there are several concubines in the family. They can also take care of the household. At worst, there are still managers." Song Jinshu said softly.

"My dear child, this is different. Although they seem to be very well behaved at the moment, their children will all get married and have children in the future. What if their grandchildren grow up and want your property?"

Old Madam Liu glanced indifferently at the three concubines who were busy in the kitchen.

Now that the old couple are still alive, those concubines can't cause any trouble, but after they are gone, what will happen if Shu'er and Fu'er are deceived by them?

We have to be on guard against this!

"When Fu'er gets married, she'll have to worry about her husband's family, and they may not be able to help you. If you give birth to a child yourself, how can they dare to worry about it?"

Song Jinshu lowered her head hesitantly. She knew that Old Madam Liu was doing this for her own good, but it also depended on her level of acceptance!

She really doesn't want to have children!

Faced with Mrs. Liu's sincere persuasion, Song Jinshu could only agree first, and then drag his feet to get away with it temporarily.

"Grandma, I get it. It's not that there's no suitable candidate! We'll see when we meet one in the future!"

Then she fled back into the house.

Madam Liu, who was left behind, smiled and murmured softly, "I think there's someone suitable right now."

But she knew she couldn't rush things and could only take it slow...

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

Today's moonlight is big and round. The yard is already filled with illuminated lanterns. In the middle is a long table with a rich variety of delicious food on it.

The Song and Liu families gathered in the yard. Old Madam Liu sent the servants to eat, and only her family members were left in the yard.

Old Master Liu held Old Madam Liu's hand and sat at the top, Song Jinshu sat steadily next to Old Master Liu, and Song Yunfu sat intimately next to Old Madam Liu.

Everyone else found their seats and sat down.

Old Master Liu said, "After two years, we can get together for a reunion dinner, all thanks to Shu'er. I toast to Shu'er!"

Song Jinshu picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "Grandpa, why are you talking nonsense again? We are family, there is no need to thank or not!"

Liu Zhile said a few joking remarks with a laugh, and the atmosphere at the scene became lively.

The family ate delicious food and admired the moonlight, which was a peaceful scene.

On the other side, in the empty yard, Lu Ruoyu was sitting alone in the yard, with a rich variety of delicious food on the table.

These were all sent by the Song family. Originally, Mr. Liu insisted that he celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with them, but he didn't want to disturb them. After Song Jinshu learned about it, he sent him a table of delicious food.

He was just one person facing so many dishes, feeling helpless yet happy. He picked up his chopsticks and prepared to take a few bites when there was a bang on the door...

Lu Ruoyu frowned, stood up and opened the door, and was stunned when she saw the two people outside.

"Master Xiao? Mr. Hao? What are you doing?"

Outside the house, Xiao Jianqing and Hao Qiulan were seen, each holding a roasted chicken and fine wine, looking at him with a smile.

Hao Qiulan raised the wine jar in her hand and said with a smile, "My husband and I don't have any relatives here, and we're getting bored drinking alone at home. I'm thinking of finding County Magistrate Lu to join us for a meal and moon-viewing. Is that convenient?"

Xiao Jianqing didn't wait for Lu Ruoyu to nod, and walked straight past him and headed towards the yard.

"This roast chicken and wine are really heavy. I'm exhausted. Madam, please come in and put them away. Don't tire yourself out! County Magistrate Lu, remember to close the door!"

"what?"

After coming in, Xiao Jianqing saw the table full of delicious food in the yard and exclaimed in shock.

Hao Qiulan was a little helpless about her husband's familiarity and apologized to Lu Ruoyu awkwardly.

Lu Ruoyu just smiled, then moved aside to let Hao Qiulan in.

Back at the dining table, Xiao Jianqing had already taken out two bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen as if he was familiar with the process.

Seeing Lu Ruoyu coming over, he teased: "I didn't know you were such a good cook!"

"But...isn't your appetite a bit too big?"

This dish is enough for him and his wife to eat for three days.

Looking at the table full of food, Hao Qiulan's eyes flashed with surprise.

As she opened the lunch box she brought, she said with a smile, "If we had known you'd cook so many dishes, we wouldn't have bought them at the restaurant."

With the addition of Xiao Jianqing and his wife, the small courtyard was filled with more laughter and joy.

The three of them had traveled to many places, had broad knowledge, and had a lot in common, so Lu Ruoyu's guard gradually relaxed.

The three of them drank under the moon in the yard, and their feelings gradually warmed up. After a while, they called each other's names affectionately.

Xiao Jianqing drank some wine, and his face was flushed. Perhaps it was the wine that gave him courage, and he patted Lu Ruoyu on the shoulder.

"Ruoyu, you are talented, beautiful, and have the emperor's support. It's too late for you to stay here. You should move up and realize your ambitions. Don't be like me, who achieved nothing in his old age."

When Xiao Jianqing mentioned his own affairs, he looked very lost. Hao Qiulan took his hand and patted it distressedly: "You are drunk! Let me take you back!"

After saying that, Hao Qiulan apologized to Lu Ruoyu, and Lu Ruoyu had to clean up the mess after the meal.

Lu Ruoyu shook her head and chuckled: "It's okay, just be careful when you go back."

After sending the two out of the house, Lu Ruoyu quickly cleaned up the mess on the dining table.

There was a lot of food that he hadn't eaten yet, so he gave it to his secret guards.

Seeing that it was still early and not sleepy yet, Lu Ruoyu went out with a lantern, ready to take a walk to help digest the food.

On the other side, after the Song family and others finished their meal, they went out to play excitedly.

Song Jinshu was also urged to go out by Old Madam Liu...

Tonight was just as Song Yunrong had said, the night market was much busier than usual.

She wandered aimlessly and came to a stall selling masks.

The stall owner was an elderly man. Song Jinshu took out some change from his bag and bought a mask.

It was obvious that the stall owner knew Song Jinshu. When he saw her about to pay, he hurriedly refused, but in the end he couldn't resist Song Jinshu and accepted the money.
