Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1626: Chapter 1623: The Same Fireworks

Although she was often told by her mother that she acted too mature, she habitually didn’t want to cause trouble for her mother.

Upon hearing Nenya’s suggestion, she felt a bit impulsive, but also had concerns.

Nenya said, “Young miss, the lady said today that you can have fun as you wish. No one in the house will say anything against you. Besides, you were supposed to go shopping, and you’re just climbing a ladder. As long as you don’t fall, it’s nothing serious. Once you get married, this sort of thing will likely be harder to do.”

Nenya had followed Chu Ziluo since childhood and understood her character well. She knew that the young miss was sensible and usually very proper. Precisely because of this, upon unexpectedly hearing some of the young miss’s small desires, she had been thinking about them, hoping the young miss could fulfill her wishes.

After some consideration, certain misgivings also came to light.

Her final words were spoken with considerable regret.

Chu Ziluo was already moved, especially after hearing the last sentence. A nameless impulse surged in her heart, and she decisively nodded, “Okay, go and get me a ladder.”

The maidservant nodded and hurriedly went to handle it.

In no time, the ladder was brought over.

Below, the maidservants helped stabilize the ladder. Before going up, Chu Ziluo hushed the maids beside her, “Everyone be quiet. The surrounding area is full of other houses, and we don’t want to draw attention.”

The maidservants quickly lowered their voices, “Young miss, rest assured, we will try not to make a sound.”

Only then did Chu Ziluo lift her skirt and slowly climb up.

The ladder just barely reached over the wall.

Once she climbed up, she could feel the height and couldn’t help but look around. There were many lights making her feel cozy yet quiet. Being close enough, she saw at a glance that they really were fireflies.

In her extreme surprise, she was somewhat vigilant as she looked around, afraid that these fireflies might have an unknown origin.

And with this glance, she saw a familiar person on a nearby tall building, dressed in a dark casual outfit blending with the moonlit night, so much so that when she first came up, she completely overlooked his presence.

Chu Ziluo was startled, instinctively clutching her clothes. If she hadn’t known there were secret guards in the house, she might have turned away immediately.

The man had clearly seen her too.

A light appeared in his hand.

Using the light, Chu Ziluo boldly looked over and saw sparkling points of light appearing, spreading from a cluster of light, approaching, expanding. Soon, clusters of light grew closer.

Chu Ziluo’s eyes were filled with amazement as she watched the approaching fireflies in surprise.

It turned out, someone had indeed deliberately brought the fireflies over.

As the fireflies drew near, Chu Ziluo looked towards the man, and gradually, she could clearly see him.

“Zhongjin… Brother?” Chu Ziluo really was taken aback.

Unexpectedly, the ever-elusive Prince Rong from the capital appeared on the pavilion, having somehow attracted the fireflies that flew around the big tree.

She didn’t even need to ask why. She could guess that something must have been placed on the books to lure the fireflies close.

The two of them gazed at each other, neither speaking.

At this time.

She saw Li Chongjin looking into the distance.

Chu Ziluo couldn’t help but follow his gaze.

She heard a “bang” as fireworks bloomed in the distance, their dazzling light and splendid fireworks forming a breathtaking scene.

Both of them remained silently gazing at the fireworks under the same sky, and Chu Ziluo smiled as she reminisced about the childish words spoken in childhood.

She had said she wished that one day the whole family could watch fireworks together, stroll through the Prefectural City, and see lanterns.
