Xu Ruxuan was puzzled for a long time, until he couldn't help but turn around and ask if the girl who had been hiding in the flowers was a mistake in perception, when a faint light finally appeared at the door of the small courtyard.

After a while, a figure appeared.

"Steward Huo? What are you doing in my yard at such a late hour?" The moment he saw the figure of the housekeeper, Xu Ruxuan couldn't help frowning.

Didn't this man be separated from him and go back to his room to rest?

Why did he come with a lamp again on this big night?

"My lord, the villain came to look for you late at night because he found something unusual in the house." Steward Huo stood still in front of Xu Ruxuan with a lantern, and looked around with a faint gaze, making sure that there was nothing abnormal in the surrounding environment, and he continued, "Actually, this is not a big deal, the villain came, but he came here during the inspection, and he stopped by to take a look.

"If you haven't stopped, I'll warn you. If you rest, the villain will not disturb your rest.

"And now it seems that the expectation that has been fulfilled seems to be the former, but—"

As he spoke, his gaze that fell on Xu Ruxuan couldn't help but have a trace of doubt: "It's cold at night, and adults have been busy all day, why don't you bathe and change clothes early and go back to the bedroom to rest?"

"It's windy outside, and you're just sitting at the tuyere blowing the wind, isn't it... Some don't take care of their bodies?"

"It doesn't matter." Xu Ruxuan's expression was faint, "It's summer now, even if the wind is heavy at night, it won't make people catch a cold. The official has been busy all day, and it is also a good thing to be able to blow a cool breeze and relax in the middle of the night.

"The official knows the matter of physical well-being, so he will not worry about the housekeeper.

"Didn't the housekeeper just say that there was something unusual in the house? Since there is a problem, you should go and investigate, and don't waste your time by chatting with me here."

Hearing this, Steward Huo did not leave at the first time.

His footsteps did not move, and he even had the leisure to look at everything around Xu Ruxuan again: "The adults don't ask the villain, what's abnormal in the house?"

"Haven't you found out yet? What's the use of asking now?" Xu Ruxuan's ten fingers hidden in his wide sleeves curled up, but his face tried to maintain his composure.

"I didn't find anything in the investigation, but judging from the clues we have now, it should be someone who sneaked into our house." Xu Ruxuan didn't ask, but Steward Huo still told him about the situation.

As soon as these words came out, the two couldn't help but fall into silence.

Xu Ruxuan didn't reply immediately, but secretly clenched his fingers, quickly thinking about how to hide Chi Xinian's existence.

He didn't speak, and Steward Huo was not in a hurry to report anything else, he just waited quietly by the side, as if he was waiting for Xu Ruxuan's orders.

The atmosphere between the two became strange, and a trace of doubt also appeared in Chi Xinian's eyes, who were hiding in the shadows.

- Strange, how does this Steward Huo give people a weird feeling?

In fact, in the past two days, she has had a lot of contact with the housekeeper in Xu Ruxuan's mansion. Because no matter where Xu Ruxuan goes, his conscientious housekeeper is silently by his side.

But she didn't pay much attention to the butler either.

In the end, he is just a servant, even if he follows Xu Ruxuan from time to time, all he cares about and greetings are trivial things such as serving tea, pouring water, and grinding ink.

This has nothing to do with the major affairs of the government and politics that she cares about, and she naturally will not be distracted by this.

If it weren't for the fact that this person had been dangling in front of her eyes too many times, she would have forgotten about this person...
