When Xu Di arrived, he saw that Chen Wufu was already waiting, so he quickly bowed. Chen Wufu smiled and said, "Lord Xu, there's no need for such formalities. May I ask if Lord Xu has something to tell this old servant?"
Chen Wufu and the Xu family have always had a close relationship. Xu Di replied with a smile, "Eunuch Chen, I've come to ask for your help this time."
