Chapter 545: It's Too Weird
"My lord, even though it's summer, it's windy by the river, so why can you just stand here and blow like this?! A few days ago, you became ill from hard work and contracted a cold, but now that you have recovered from a serious illness, you need to pay more attention to your body!" The housekeeper of the Xu Mansion held a cloak and trotted all the way over.
When I saw Xu Ruxuan, I had to put on the cloak for him.
And with him so interrupted, it is naturally difficult for Chi Xinian to ask about those words that involve secrets.
The words swirled around his mouth, and finally he had to turn into concern: "Was Governor Xu tired and sick a few days ago? Disaster relief is important, but your body is also important, and it just so happens that we have arrived in the past two days, so we can help some, so you can rest a little longer."
Zhu Ziping, who was on the other side, saw this meeting and frowned subconsciously.
It's true that you should cultivate more when you're tired and sick, but in this big summer, the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion hurriedly came to interrupt their conversation, just to send a cloak, which is too much...
But thinking that Xu Ruxuan was accumulating labor for disaster relief, although he was a little dissatisfied with the housekeeper's hypocrisy, he finally suppressed his emotions in an instant and echoed: "The queen is right, we are people specially sent by His Majesty for disaster relief, so we should worry about disaster relief.
"Since Lord Xu is unwell, let's rest more.
"We are busy with this disaster relief, so you don't have to worry too much."
Both of them had good intentions, but when Xu Ruxuan heard this, he shook his head decisively: "The kindness of the two officials has been understood, but the lower officials, as the prefect of Pingxing, really have no face to rest when the disaster is not over.
"Besides, Xia Guan's health was already a few days ago, and now Xia Guan is already fine, as long as he pays a little attention, it will not affect his handling of official business."
"Really?" Chi Xinian hooked the corners of his mouth, and his searching gaze turned around on Xu Ruxuan, who had a firm face, and the housekeeper with a worried face, before he spoke again, "Since Governor Xu has his own considerations, that's fine.
"But the body is still important, if you have any discomfort, you can send someone to talk to this palace at any time, and this palace will find someone to take over your affairs."
"Thank you, mother." Xu Ruxuan bowed down to thank him.
However, he did not dwell on this topic, and when the conversation fell, he brought up the current issue of repairing the embankment.
Then he gathered his cloak and led the butler alone to another embankment.
"Niangniang, this Xu Governor..." When Xu Ruxuan and the two walked away, Zhu Ziping couldn't help frowning slightly, and whispered, "How do you think that the lower official thinks that his strange energy today has come up again..."
Previously, he thought that Xu Ruxuan was available, but there were also oddities.
It's just that the weirdness didn't affect anything at that time, so he didn't look into it carefully. I just want to solve the disaster relief matter first, and then investigate it slowly.
But today, he came with the queen to ask if this person had any difficulties, and the strangeness he felt before became very obvious.
Zhu Ziping scratched the back of his neck and wondered, "Let's talk about things in private, why is he more weird than usual? He doesn't even trust the two of us, does he?"
"It's very unlikely that you don't believe us." Chi Xinian shook his head, "After all, the positions of the Chi family and the Zhu family in the court are very obvious.
"Our Chi family has been loyal for generations, and even has an in-law relationship with Your Majesty, and your Zhu family has always stood by His Majesty's side since before His Majesty ascended the throne.
"It stands to reason that if we talk to Xu Ruxuan alone, he should take the opportunity to tell us something. Unless—"
