After entering the room, Zhao Shuhai immediately closed the door. At the same time, he immediately scolded Chu Lu and said, "Didn't I tell you not to show up easily? Why did you come out again?"
Facing Zhao Shuhai's reprimand, Chu Lu felt somewhat aggrieved.
She just defended herself immediately and said, "I don't want to do this either, but Butler Liu went out to buy groceries. If I don't open the door for you, no one will open the door for you."
However, faced with Chu Lu's explanation, was Zhao Shuhai the one who cared about the logical relationship?
Obviously he wasn't. He just continued: "That's not the reason for you to come out! Do you know how dangerous it is for you to appear in front of outsiders like this?"
After being scolded, Chu Lu stopped saying anything. Now she had slowly figured out Zhao Shuhai's temperament. I also understood the rules of social operation here. I, a girl with no identity, would be beaten to death.
Obviously if he talks back again, Zhao Shuhai will probably give him a hard blow.
After Zhao Shuhai scolded Chu Lu, he finally seemed to feel a little more at ease. .Ь.
He walked straight in, and Chu Lu followed him silently.
When they arrived at the inner room, Zhao Shuhai just told Chu Lu like a young master, "Bring me a basin of water. I want to wash my face."
When Chu Lu heard this, she naturally cooperated and fetched water for Zhao Shuhai.
After Zhao Shuhai washed his face, he seemed to wake up a lot. He just looked at Chu Lu seriously.
At this time in the past, he would have already taken action.
Chu Lu looked very uneasy when he looked at me like this. "Sir, is something wrong with you looking at me like this? Or is there something bad that Chu Lu did?"
After saying this, Chu Lu felt uneasy.
Zhao Shuhai heard this and asked, "Has anyone been here today?"
Chu Lu nodded, "Someone has been here. They came for the person you imprisoned. The housekeeper finally handed him over to them."
Zhao Shuhai nodded, and then asked, "Then did you let them see your appearance?"
Chu Lu wanted to nod, but when she remembered Zhao Shuhai's rule that she was not allowed to communicate with outsiders, she immediately shook her head.
Unexpectedly, her shaking of the head directly angered Zhao Shuhai, "You have never met outsiders, who are you fooling!"
He grabbed Chu Lu's lapel and said, "Tell me! Tell me quickly, did you talk to that kid Lu Zhizhang today?"
When Chu Lu heard Zhao Shuhai mention Lu Zhizhang, her heart skipped a beat.
Does he know everything?
But Chu Lu still subconsciously wanted to lie. She shook her head and was about to speak when Zhao Shuhai saw her shaking her head and slapped Chu Lu hard.
"Idiot! How many times have I told you! Don't talk to outsiders! Don't meet outsiders! Do you want to kill me?"
Zhao Shuhai's slap directly knocked Chu Lu to the ground. For a long time, Chu Lu felt her ears buzzing.
Chu Lu didn't expect that she would receive such a slap. She was completely stunned by Zhao Shuhai's beating.
She didn't understand why Zhao Shuhai was so excited about this issue.
Although she also knows that women here meet alone with foreign men, they still have to avoid suspicion.
But overall, it's still relatively relaxed here.
At least men and women sometimes hold meet-and-greets.
Therefore, there is no possibility that Zhao Shuhai would hit himself for not following etiquette.
Moreover, it doesn't seem to make sense to say that Zhao Shuhai is a hidden beauty in a golden house and is afraid that he will be seen by other men and make others covet him.
After all, his rule from the beginning was that regardless of gender, he was not allowed to see any outsiders except him and the housekeeper.
So instead of saying that he is a hidden beauty in the golden house, it is better to say that he is afraid of being seen by others.
But she couldn't figure out why she was afraid of being seen by others.
After that, Zhao Shuhai only approached Chu Lu again.
As soon as Chu Lu saw Zhao Shuhai coming, she couldn't help but become more frightened.
Although she didn't understand why Zhao Shuhai was so angry because she had no opinion of outsiders, she also understood that now was not the time to think about such things.
She was afraid that Zhao Shuhai would hit her again, so she immediately begged Zhao Shuhai for mercy.
"Sir, I was wrong! I never dare to do it again. Please forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again!"
After the words fell, Chu Lu even kowtowed in front of Zhao Shuhai like pounding garlic.
When Zhao Shuhai saw Chu Lu like this, his heart naturally softened a little. .Ь.
He had seen such a face at a banquet a long time ago, and it was unforgettable to him at that time. He did not expect that there would be two faces so similar in the world.
Zhao Shuhai signaled to Chu Lu that there was no need to kowtow anymore. He regained his composure and said, "Okay, now tell me what you said to that person?"
Chu Lu naturally did not dare to hide anything from Zhao Shuhai at this time.
"I didn't meet that person on purpose. I thought there was no one in the yard, so I went out to pour out the dirty water. But I didn't expect that there would be people standing outside. I was shocked and even hit myself. Feet, that person just asked me if I was okay, and I said okay. He then asked me who I was from this courtyard, and I just said that I was a maid in this courtyard. Young Master, I really didn’t mean to have any trouble with you. That person bumped into me."
After hearing Chu Lu's repeated explanations and the fact that she was quite smart and didn't say anything that shouldn't have been said, Zhao Shuhai only became angry for a short time and then regained his composure.
"Okay, you don't have to explain anything to me anymore. Get up."
Seeing Zhao Shuhai's appearance, Chu Lu thought that Zhao Shuhai was finally not angry anymore.
So she then quietly stood up.
However, just after she got up, Zhao Shuhai asked, "How long have you been following me?"
Chu Lu whispered, "It's been three months."
Seeing Chu Lu's answer, Zhao Shuhai nodded, "Okay! You and I have been together for a while without knowing it. After thinking about it, I still feel that you should not be detained in this room. Do you want to see the outside world?" "
When Chu Lu heard Zhao Shuhai's question, she couldn't understand Zhao Shuhai's attitude for a moment.
She just continued to ask cautiously, "Sir, what do you mean by this?"
When Zhao Shuhai saw Chu Lu asking himself these questions, he whispered, "After thinking about it, I still feel that I didn't treat you well, and I shouldn't have detained you in this room. Now I have figured it out, you can get out!"
When Chu Lu heard this, she immediately looked at Zhao Shuhai and said, "What do you mean, Master?"
Zhao Shuhai said coldly, "I just want you to leave this house and make a living on your own."
Upon hearing this, Chu Lu immediately knelt down in front of Zhao Shuhai, "Master! I don't want to leave the other courtyard, don't drive me away! I will never dare to do it again!"
It was getting colder and colder now, and she didn't have a decent place to stay. She was afraid of freezing to death on the street.
Moreover, the current curfew in the capital does not allow people to stay outside. If he stayed outside alone, he would probably be detained.
Not to mention there are some people with bad intentions on the street.
So even she felt that Zhao Shuhai was not treating her well and had no patience with her. But she still didn't want to leave here.
After all, compared to the outside world, at least you don't have to worry about food and clothing here, and you don't have to worry about meeting those disgusting people.
However, Zhao Shuhai's attitude towards her had already been decided.
He looked at Chu Lu impatiently and said, "Stop kneeling! It's useless no matter how many times you kowtow in front of me. After you meet that outsider, I can no longer take you in. I told you before. , you can’t meet outsiders, you didn’t listen to me then, if I take you in again now, I’ll be in big trouble!”
Chu Lu obviously couldn't understand what Zhao Shuhai meant.
"Master, what do you mean by this? I can't understand. Please at least tell me before I leave why I can't see anyone outside."
My lord, what kind of trouble could I possibly get you into? "
However, how could Zhao Shuhai tell Chu Lu this? He just looked at Chu Lu coldly and said, "I'm not a ruthless person. Before I drive you away, I can give you ten taels of silver, and I can also arrange for someone to help you." The inn will arrange a room for you and renew the room fee for one month, but after one month, I won’t care about you anymore, and you don’t have to come to me.”
Hearing Zhao Shuhai's words, although Chu Lu was still somewhat reluctant, she also knew what Zhao Shuhai meant by what he said. He had clearly made up his mind and was determined to separate from her.
And he is at least willing to arrange a place for himself. Although it is only for a month, he will not have to face the storm outside in a short period of time. Chu Lu's attitude at the moment is somewhat resigned to this.
Because of this, Chu Lu naturally didn't say much at the moment.
Seeing that she was no longer crying, Zhao Shuhai felt a little more pity in his heart. After thinking about it, he still felt that Chu Lu had too little money, so he thought about it and said in a low voice, "I After thinking about it, I think it’s not easy for you either. Such a small amount of money is definitely not enough for you to live on. Let’s do this, I will give you fifty taels, and then I will arrange another identity for you, so that your life can be easier. "
Hearing Zhao Shuhai's words, what else could Chu Lu say? All she could do now was calmly thank you.
Zhao Shuhai finally said, "When the housekeeper comes back, I will ask him to take you to a nearby inn. You can take care of yourself."
Faced with Zhao Shuhai's instructions, Chu Lu naturally just nodded calmly.
Zhao Shuhai said no more, and within a few moments, the housekeeper in Zhao Shuhai's house returned from shopping for groceries.
It's really cold outside.
Zhao Shuhai's housekeeper didn't want to stay outside for more than a minute.
After he opened the door, he saw that Zhao Shuhai was also in the room. He was a little stunned for a while. Their master hadn't been here for a long time.
However, Zhao Shuhai was willing to come, and the housekeeper was happy. He immediately said, "Master, are you hungry? I will cook for you right now!"
Facing the housekeeper's words, Zhao Shuhai signaled that he didn't need to go.
He said calmly, "There's no need to cook tonight, I won't stay here."
Hearing Zhao Shuhai's words, the housekeeper felt somewhat disappointed.
