Stop acting, Your Majesty, the queen knows you're faking it

Chapter 525 Butler
This person looked ten years older than Xu Zhifu, and looking at his face, Chi Xinian did not find anyone who matched him in the portraits of important figures obtained from Yan Chujing.

It seems that he is not an official.

And judging by his dress and demeanor...he is very likely to be the butler of Xu Zhifu's family!
Do you bring the butler to work in the government office?Do you not want to trouble your colleagues, or...

The old man who was studying ink for Xu Zhifu was not an important person after all. Therefore, Chi Xinian only took a rough look at him, then withdrew his gaze, and refocused on Xu Ruxuan.

At this moment, the quiet and silent atmosphere was broken by the housekeeper beside Xu Ruxuan.

"Master, it's past time, you should rest earlier." The butler's eyelids slightly rolled up, and the words that came out were a little tired.

It seemed that he was old and couldn't stand this kind of suffering, so when he put down the ink stick to ask Xu Ruxuan for instructions, his hands trembled slightly.

He looked like he was ready to serve his master and go to rest.

But Xu Ruxuan heard that the action of reviewing the documents did not stop at all: "It's getting late, but there are still two counties that have not sorted out the disaster situation today. Tomorrow is another day, and there will be new ones." Delaying the delivery of documents will only make the official documents pile up even more.

"If you are tired, you can go back and rest by yourself. I must read these two official documents tonight."

Xu Ruxuan not only continued to criticize, but even sped up his speech at the end of the sentence.

It seemed that he didn't even want to waste the time to talk.

so seriously?

Chi Xinian was taken aback by Xu Ruxuan's attitude, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

The situation of the prefect Xu was somewhat beyond her expectation.

The last person she saw who took the disaster so seriously was Yan Chujing.And compared to his attitude, he was much firmer than Yan Chujing.

At least, when Yan Chujing talked to the people around her, his tone was much gentler.

However, Chi Xinian didn't feel anything wrong about it. She and Yan Chujing were husband and wife after all.There is still a big gap between husband and wife and master and servant.

While Chi Xinian was feeling emotional, the housekeeper seemed to have made a decision.

He slowly glanced at Xu Zhifu, seeing that his expression was firm and could not be vetoed, he picked up the piece of ink again, and slowly studied it: "Since the adult is so determined to do things for the people, how can the villain be so determined?" Can I leave you and go to sleep by myself?
"The villain is here to accompany you tonight. When do you finish your business, when will we go to rest together?"

The breeze passed through the cracks of the window and gently brushed over the lamp on the table.

The light flickered, and the butler's shadow on the wall also flickered.

As he was old, it seemed that he couldn't bear such a night after night, but because of the master beside him, he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

The room quickly returned to tranquility.

For a long time, no one spoke again, only the sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper echoed in my ears.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chi Xinian instinctively felt that he should be a little moved.After all, regardless of whether the magistrate Xu concealed the report or not, at least at this moment, he and his old servant are doing their best to serve the people.

However, she couldn't afford to feel moved in her heart.

Even, it feels a little strange.

Chi Xinian rubbed his forehead.

Strange, how could she feel this way?
　I have a fever, I feel very uncomfortable, I can't hold on any longer, please take a leave of absence, and wait a few days to make up for the rest...
