Chapter 378
Lu Yuzhi and the red line did not go far, they are now staying in a small inn more than 100 miles outside the city.

"How long have they lived here?" Xu Chunjun asked the Lu family.

It turned out that Mrs. Lu had already sent someone to watch around, but Lu Yuzhi didn't know it.

"It's been more than a day." The Lu family said.

"Why don't they leave? Are they going to stay here?" Xu Chunjun wondered.

Normally, if two people want to elope, they must be exhausted in the first few days, and the farther they run, the better.

But they lived here only a hundred miles away from the capital, aren't they afraid that the people from the Lu family will catch up?
"It seems that the girl is sick and can't go on her way." The Lu family only knew the general idea, and they didn't dare to get too close.

"Okay, then I'll go in and have a look." Xu Chunjun nodded and said.

She didn't let anyone from the Lu family follow her, but just brought a few of her servants into the inn.

This inn is a husband-and-wife inn. The husband and wife are in their 40s and 70s, and there is a [-]-[-]-year-old girl as a helper, and an old man in his [-]s and [-]s is responsible for leading and feeding the horses, and there is no one else.

"Madam, may I ask if you are staying at the hotel or at the top?" The proprietress hurriedly came up to her and asked attentively.

"Sister, I'm here to find someone." Xu Chunjun smiled slightly and asked her, "Is there a young man of sixteen or seventeen living here?"

The proprietress has opened the store for so many years, and she has seen a lot of people.

Looking at Xu Chunjun's clothes and bringing a few servants with him, he knew that he was not from an ordinary family.

The young man living upstairs, no matter how he dressed, how he talked or how he looked, was clearly from a wealthy family.

So he said: "There are a few customers living in our store. There is a young master upstairs. I wonder if he is the person you are looking for?"

"Could I trouble you to take me to meet him?" Xu Chunjun smiled slightly, his eyes moved slightly, and Lvyu next to him immediately took a piece of silver and handed it to the proprietress.

"You're too polite, I'll take you up right now." The proprietress led the way and led Xu Chunjun upstairs.

"This is the one." The proprietress said and knocked on the door, "Is the young master awake? Please open the door."

There was a sound from inside, and the door opened after a while.

It was indeed Lu Yuzhi who opened the door. When he saw Xu Chunjun standing outside the door, he couldn't help being startled, and then he blushed and lowered his head.

Seeing this, the proprietress knew that the two of them knew each other, so she went downstairs.

"You guys stay outside." Xu Chunjun said and entered the door.

The room in the inn is not big, only a bed, a table, and a chair.

There was only one person in the room, Lu Yu, and there was only one bedding.

Apparently he and Redline don't live together.

"Yuzhi, why did you come out without telling the family? My aunt is ill now, and she dare not tell others, so she sent me to look for you." Xu Chunjun's tone was gentle, just stating the facts, and did not mean to blame .

Lu Yuzhi lowered his head, and murmured, "I... Mother, is she okay?"

"If you go back properly, she will be fine." Xu Chunjun said, "Can you tell me what's going on?"

"Then...will you believe me?" Lu Yuzhi glanced at Xu Chunjun, then quickly lowered his head.

"I believe you." Xu Chunjun replied quickly and firmly.

"Why?" Lu Yuzhi couldn't believe it, but was curious.

"From what I know, you are gentle and kind, and you won't lie." Xu Chunjun said.

Her attitude made Lu Yuzhi relax a lot.

"Red Line is a poor person," Lu Yuzhi began, "Her father died of illness, and the book store she depended on for her life was burned down, and her mother also passed away, leaving her alone."

"This girl's background is indeed pitiful." Xu Chunjun didn't say anything to refute, and he didn't even show any displeasure.

Lu Yuzhi seemed to be encouraged, and spoke more smoothly: "I gave her money so that she could bury her mother alive. She is a girl with no relatives in the capital. She probably thinks that I am a reliable person, and wants to To repay the previous kindness, so I took the initiative to come to our house, wanting to be a slave and a handmaid."

"In this way, she is very grateful." Xu Chunjun praised.

"Yes!" Lu Yuzhi was even more encouraged. He already had a good impression of Xu Chunjun, but seeing that her attitude was completely opposite to that of his mother, he couldn't help letting go of his guard, and expressed all the grievances in his heart.

"But my mother didn't think so. She felt that Hongxian had other plans, so she wanted to drive her away. Hongxian refused to leave and insisted on repaying her kindness.

She wants to go to Zhuangzi with the red line, and those people on Zhuangzi are very vulgar. If she is a weak and weak girl, after a year or two, she will probably be accused of being a subordinate of Zhuangzi. "Obviously Lu Yuzhi couldn't bear it.

"Yuzhi, let me ask, are you interested in this girl?" Xu Chunjun asked.

"Nothing." Lu Yuzhi's face turned red all of a sudden, "I just can't bear it."

"Why can't you bear it?" Xu Chunjun asked with a smile.

"I can't bear her being a literate woman married to a vulgar man. Although she is not from a wealthy family, she is also the jewel in the palm of her parents' eyes. Going to do rough work on the farm is really hard for her." Lu Yuzhi said, "let alone stay there."

"But didn't my aunt say she was going to send her to her uncle's house? Isn't this way going?" Xu Chunjun asked.

"I thought it was okay, after all, I went to her relatives' house. But then the red line came out to me and said that my mother didn't want to send her to my uncle at all, but wanted someone to sell her halfway." When Lu Yuzhi mentioned this, he couldn't help shaking his head, "It's really inappropriate for my mother to do this."

Xu Chunjun understood what was going on when she heard this. She originally thought that the red line was a little girl who didn't know much about the world, and she was in love with Lu Yuzhi, so she chose to elope.

But now it seems that this person's scheming is very deep.

Of course she was looking for someone to rely on. Lu Yuzhi was born noble, young and handsome, and what's more, he had a kind heart.

It's not surprising that the red thread has identified him.

She retreated to advance, saying that she wanted to repay Lu Yuzhi's great favor, so she wanted to repay it by serving as a slave in the Lu family.

In fact, he just wanted to use this channel to enter the Lu family and stay with Lu Yuzhi so that he could make further plans.

Mrs. Lu refused to let her enter the mansion, so she was soft-spoken.

So Mrs. Lu asked her to go to the farm, in fact, she wanted to send her away, out of sight and out of mind.

But of course the red line would not stop there. She found Lu Yuzhi and said that she didn't want to go to the farm to do rough work and match rough people.

When Lu Yuzhi helped her at the beginning, he naturally felt sorry for her. Of course, he hoped that the people he had rescued would have a better life in the future.

So I told my mother not to send the red thread to the farm.
