The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 87: See You on the Road

More and more people gathered in front of the teahouse.

But no one dared to step forward to dissuade them.

The woman cried sadly and the girl curled up behind her.

Chu He looked at Xu Rongrong calmly. If she wanted to help save people, it would not be a difficult task for him.

But Xu Rongrong pretended not to hear and concentrated on eating.

There are so many pitiful people in the world, who can save them all? Moreover, she had just arrived in Puyang County and didn't know much about the place. If she did something kind based on what she saw, it wouldn't necessarily be a good thing for them or the mother and daughter.

A passerby recognized the man and advised, "Mr. Lu, look at the mother and daughter, they look pale and muscular. They must be really pitiful. Just be kind and give them the money." "Oh, let me see who is so kind..." The man called Mr. Lu narrowed his eyes and looked around.

The passerby who had spoken earlier fell silent.

"If you want my reward, that's not impossible!" Young Master Lu pointed at the girl behind the woman, "Have her dance for me. If I'm happy, I'll give you my reward."

As soon as he finished speaking, the attendant behind him immediately stepped forward to grab the girl.

The panicked woman quickly protected her daughter and said, "Master, please understand. My daughter can't dance... Please, Master, please spare her. We don't want the money anymore. No more! No more!"

Young Master Lu chuckled, "You said you wanted money, so you got it. You said you didn't want to jump, so you didn't jump. You said you were fleeing and looking for your relatives, but look at your behavior, it's not like you're fleeing! I don't believe it. Today, she has to jump, whether she wants to or not!"

After he finished speaking, the attendants behind him rushed forward and dragged the girl up. The girl struggled desperately, crying and coughing violently, even vomiting blood.

Several attendants were startled and quickly threw the girl aside.

This...isn't it tuberculosis?

The onlookers also retreated. Seeing this, Master Lu immediately lost interest: "Bah! Bad luck!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the tea room.

The rest of the people followed in.

Only the woman was left, holding the girl, sitting there crying miserably.

Soon, the teahouse owner sent out the waiter to chase them away.

Xu Rongrong finished the last mouthful of soup in her bowl and said to Wen Yao, "Go ahead."

Wen Yao had been unable to sit still for a long time. After receiving the young lady's order, he immediately went out, stopped the waiter from saying anything unpleasant, and invited the mother and daughter into the inn. After the mother and daughter came in, they hurriedly thanked Xu Rongrong.

Xu Rongrong smiled and said, "It's just a piece of cake. You've been busy for so long, why don't you eat first? I have a doctor here, if you'd like, you can ask him to take a look."

After she finished speaking, she asked the waiter to open another table for them and prepare some easily digestible meals.

The woman thanked him quickly, without any shyness in her gestures.

Shu Qing did not refuse and made a thorough diagnosis by observing, smelling, asking and feeling before the food was served.

On the second floor of the teahouse opposite, the window facing the street was half open.

Inside sat Young Master Lu and the two playboys. One of them jokingly said, "I didn't expect that someone in Puyang who had offended Young Master Lu would actually be willing to help him."

Young Master Lu narrowed his eyes and looked towards the inn opposite, and caught a glimpse of Xu Rongrong's beautiful profile: Such a beautiful young lady, I have never seen such a beautiful young lady in my life!

Young Master Lu narrowed his eyes slightly, called his attendant over, and muttered a few words in a low voice.

Shu Qing took the girl's pulse and reassured her, "Don't worry, this isn't tuberculosis. Perhaps you're not used to the northern climate, and your spleen is weak and your lungs are hot, causing you to cough up blood."

The woman felt relieved upon hearing this and quickly expressed her gratitude.

The food was served, and after two mouthfuls of hot soup, the mother and daughter's complexion improved slightly.

Just when I was halfway through my meal, the door of the inn was pushed open.

Young Master Lu walked in staggeringly with his arms folded.

When the other people in the inn saw his face, they all stepped back.

The shopkeeper winked at the waiter, and the two of them quickly hid behind him.

Young Master Lu took in everyone's expressions. It was nothing new to him. He walked up to the slightly panicked mother and daughter and waved his hand, "Take them down!" Seeing the bullies approaching, Xu Rongrong could no longer sit idly by: "Sir, why are you pushing them so hard?"

Young Master Lu acted as if he had just seen Xu Rongrong. "Oh my... I didn't expect there was such a beautiful young lady in Puyang County! Looking at your appearance, I know you must be a warm-hearted person. Don't be fooled by them."

He glanced at the woman and said, "They claim to be refugees, but what refugee family would use a red sandalwood and bamboo pipa? I'm sure it was stolen! I'm sending them to see the authorities."

After saying this, the attendant beside him snatched the pipa from the table.

"Give it back to me!" Before the woman could react, the sickly girl suddenly found the courage and rushed forward to take back the pipa: "This is my father's, not stolen!"

"Hey! Weren't you vomiting blood and about to die just now? How come you're alive in just a short while?" Young Master Lu sneered, pinched the girl's chin with one hand and lifted her up.

The woman rushed over to protect her daughter, but was stopped by several attendants.

Her eyes were red with anxiety. "This pipa wasn't stolen; it was my late husband's legacy! He ran a music studio in Yuzhou. If the flood hadn't destroyed the studio, and if he hadn't fallen ill and passed away, we wouldn't have left our hometown to travel to the capital to look for our relatives. Please, sir, have mercy on us."

"You said it was a relic? Our young master said that it was stolen goods!" The long-time attendant echoed.

Wen Yao was furious: "How can you be so rude!"

Young Master Lu sneered upon hearing this: "What? Someone is actually teaching me etiquette in Puyang?"

Wen Yao glared at him without fear: "You humiliated them in the street first, and then slandered them for stealing. Isn't that extremely rude?"

Young Master Lu raised his hands and smiled sagely, "You say I'm slandering you? Do you know them?"

Xu Rongrong stood up. Behind her, the sunset glow had already dyed half the sky red, making her face look as noble as white jade.

She smiled slightly: "You said their pipa was stolen, do you have any evidence?"

Her voice was soft, like clear water in Young Master Lu's ears.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "That's easy. Take him to the government office and we'll know after a trial."

"Are you trying to force a confession?"

"Young lady, you are too kind. Our Puyang County Government follows the court etiquette and laws. If they are truly innocent, we will definitely not wrongly accuse them."

As soon as Young Master Lu finished speaking, a whisper came from the side:

"Everyone knows that Young Master Lu is related to the Puyang County Government. If these mother and daughter are sent in, they will surely die."

"I really don't know how this mother and daughter offended him."

"I think it's not just this mother and daughter. Haven't you noticed that Young Master Lu has set his sights on that young lady?"

"This……"

The woman's face changed slightly when she heard everyone talking.

She gritted her teeth, bowed to Xu Rongrong and said, "Miss, you were so kind to give us a meal. How could we possibly let you down again?"

After saying this, she looked at Master Lu and said, "If this gentleman insists on going to the government office, I am willing to make the trip."

Young Master Lu didn't expect that she would have such courage.

Then he waved his hand and said, "Take them to the government!"

Several attendants rushed forward.

"Wait!" Xu Rongrong walked out and stood in front of the woman. "Don't be afraid. Since I've helped you, I will definitely help you to the end."
