The housekeeper called dozens of servants to the gate, but was shocked when he saw it.
There were so many people who wanted to come in and see the prefect! They pushed and shoved, filling up the gate. Most of them were locals from Wucheng.
They either brought eggs or a bunch of vegetables, their eyes full of worry.
"How is the prefect? Butler, this is the fish I raised at home. It's fat! It's perfect for someone who's sick!"
"I brought some pickled cabbage here. It's an appetizer. Your appetite will improve after you eat it."
"Is the master awake now? Can we go in and see him?"
The butler was shocked.
He followed the prefect all the way here.
When the prefect was still a small local official, he had met many officials and knew how they got along with the local people.
It's basically a life-and-death battle, not a mortal enemy.
Of course, there are still kind people in this world! The so-called "honest judges" do exist.
But people like this will basically die unexpectedly within a year.
Therefore, for the sake of his own life, the prefect would never act like a great official. At most, he would feel guilty and never take things from his subordinates and the people. He would also give rewards to the officials from time to time.
I didn't expect that even with such a simple thing like this, so many people would come to see you...
The housekeeper's eyes were blurred with tears, and he suddenly remembered the beautiful wish of his parents when he was young - that is to be a real good official!
He felt emotional for a while, but ultimately refused everyone's gifts and visits. "My master hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said he needs to rest well. When he wakes up, I will definitely convey your wishes."
The people of Wucheng didn't want to argue any further, so they threw down their gifts and left in a hurry.
The butler couldn't catch up with them no matter how hard he tried, and could only watch them throw down their gifts and run away.
Just then, a servant came to report that the prefect had woken up.
The housekeeper immediately asked someone to clean up the agricultural products on the ground and hurried into the main room.
"Sir! You finally woke up!" The housekeeper rushed to the bed with tears in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth kept curling up.
The prefect forced himself to stay awake and gave a wry smile: "Yes, I'm awake, but what's the use?"
Thinking of the letter he received, he felt completely hopeless.
If possible, he really didn't want to wake up again and continue to face this mess!
The butler's eyes were blurred with tears, so he didn't notice the magistrate's hopeless look.
Thinking of how many people had come to visit the prefect just now, he couldn't help but say happily, "Sir! After you fainted, the people of Wucheng all came to see you!"
The prefect raised an eyebrow in surprise. "How is this possible?" The relationship between local officials and the local people has always been bad. They were lucky enough not to wish him dead, but they actually came to see him?!
The housekeeper wiped his tears and sniffed: "It's true, they sent a lot of things, and now they are at the gate. I asked someone to pick them up. Do you want to go and have a look?"
The prefect's face was full of disbelief.
He struggled to get up and wanted to go outside to take a look, but found that the butler was not lying!
In the basket, the eggs were wiped clean, the vegetables were washed twice, and there was basically no mud or sand. There was even some bacon... The prefect, who came from a farming family, knew how precious these things were.
For ordinary people, even though they can save up eggs and sell them for money, they are reluctant to eat them themselves. At most, they will eat one or two during the Chinese New Year.
Thinking of the letter sent from the capital, the gifts given by the people, and his own high spirits in his youth, he let out a deep breath.
"Prepare the carriage, I need to go out for a while!"
"Where are we going?" The housekeeper was surprised and somewhat resistant. "Sir, you haven't fully recovered yet. The doctor said you've been overly stimulated and need to rest. If you can't rest, your body will suffer in the future!"
The prefect glanced at the butler with a serious expression, his eyes full of determination.
The butler sighed deeply and lowered his head: "Yes, sir."
He immediately left the room, asked someone to prepare a carriage, and called two teams of servants to follow and protect the prefect.
The prefect returned to the backyard, drove away all the servants, hid in the house, and said something to his wife.
The magistrate's wife was furious and chased him, beating him and running out of the yard.
He ran out furiously: "Madam, don't worry! I will be back soon!"
Her eyes were red, and her fingers were trembling as she pointed at him: "If you dare to step out of this door, don't blame me for not letting you in!"
The prefect grinned, but did not listen to his wife and go back. Instead, he rushed to the carriage in the outer courtyard.
He sat in the carriage, took a deep breath, and watched the scenery pass by with a serious expression.
What he didn't know was that after the carriage left, the lady in the backyard fainted.
"Madam..." The maids were very nervous and hurried to find a doctor.
Lu family.
Lu Yunxi paused.
She originally wanted to go and see the prefect, but when she passed by, she saw many people going to visit the prefect, so she didn't go over. She just listened and came back after making sure that the prefect was not in danger.
Who knew that it was just a moment of relaxation, and when he scanned with his spiritual sense, he actually saw the prefect's wife chasing the prefect and beating him, and the prefect rushing into the carriage.
I don’t know where he is going when he wakes up?
The prefect's wife was crying so hard. Could it be that the prefect had an extramarital affair? Was the illegitimate child already grown up?
