Chapter 293: Chapter 293 Setting up Yuhong Lu_l

Lu Yuhong glanced at her and said, “Thank you, Miss Wei.”

Since coming to Taizhou prefecture, he had tasted this dish before. But he found it quite average, not something he would consider delicious.

However, since it was given by Wei Qingruo, it was definitely worth a try.

Lu Yuhong put the wine jug in his hand on a stool next to him, then picked up a large shrimp from the pickled seafood with his chopsticks.

Sampling it with an open mind, he soon expressed amazement.

“Miss Wei, did you make this pickled seafood?” Lu Yuhong asked.

“Yes, I made some in my spare time.”

“Your cooking skills are truly superb, Miss Wei. This is more delicious than any pickled food I’ve eaten before. It enhances the fresh taste of the seafood. Combining this pickle with thyme is an absolute match!” Lu Yuhong praised unabashedly.

“I am glad you liked it,” Wei Ruo said.

Lu Yuhong couldn’t help sighing, “Xiu Fengyuan is such a fortunate man!” The fact that the Xiu Family’s Madam had approached the Wei Family seeking a marital alliance was no longer a secret. Plus, Xiu Fengyuan had hinted at this to them as well. Therefore, Lu Yuhong was certain that Miss Wei would marry Xiu Fengyuan in the future.

Thinking about this, Lu Yuhong felt somewhat envious of Xiu Fengyuan – of course, it was merely about his ability to enjoy delicious food.

“Could you pass a message on to Master Xiu for me?” Wei Ruo asked.

“Go ahead and say it. Not only a message, but I could even deliver a letter for you too.” Having tasted the beautiful wine and delicious food, Lu Yuhong was more than willing to help.

-I am wild in nature and do not have the demeanor of a good wife. Master Xiu is a well-rounded scholar and should have a better match.” Wei Ruo stated.

Surprised, Lu Yuhong asked, “Miss Wei, you want me to help you reject Xiu Fengyuan?”

“Exactly.”

“This…” Lu Yuhong now regretted his hasty promise.

He initially thought it was going to be a message of yearning, and was more than happy to help. But for such a ruthless message, he needed to consider it more carefully.

“Master Lu just drank my wine and ate my seafood,” Wei Ruo said.

Lu Yuhong was speechless, glancing at the wine and pickles in front of him. It was too late to spit them out even if he wanted to. Besides, it would be a waste to spit out such delicious food.

-Why don’t you let your brother pass on this message for you? It would be more fitting coming from him, wouldn’t it?” Lu Yuhong asked.

-My brother might not be willing to help me,” Wei Ruo replied. This was one of the reasons, plus she didn’t want to trouble Wei Yichen too much.

“That makes sense…” Lu Yuhong understood the Wei Family’s position. No matter how you looked at it, a marriage would be a match of the Wei Family marrying up, and they had no reason to refuse.

So, Lu Yuhong agreed reluctantly, “Alright, I’ll pass on your intention but I won’t say too much more. I don’t want to be the villain tearing apart a

marriage.”

“Thank you, Master Lu,” Wei Ruo said.

Lu Yuhong didn’t give it much more thought and continued to eat and drink, while also watching the bustling scene outside.
