Chapter 1321 Qi Lie

Manager Xu wanted to ask again, but when he saw that Ren Huai looked wrong, he was slightly startled, "What's wrong?"

"That one seems to be the new emperor's personal guard, right?"

Manager Xu raised his head, followed his line of sight, and saw a somewhat familiar figure next to Xiang Weinan.

Really, isn’t this the new emperor’s confidant, Qi Lie?

Before the fifth prince ascended the throne, he was an inconspicuous prince. He would occasionally appear in the market, and he would always have a guard by his side. The most common one was Qi Lie.

Since the fifth prince ascended the throne, as one of his confidants, Qi Lie's status has naturally increased with the tide, and he has become a favorite in the eyes of everyone.

Logically speaking, such a person should be in the capital at the moment, guarding the emperor.

How could it... appear in a remote county?

"Just transfer Mr. Xiang back to the capital and become an ordinary decree officer. Why is Qi Lie needed to take action?"

Manager Xu nodded, "And looking at Guard Qi, he seems to be quite familiar with Mr. Xiang."

Ren Huai was a little confused, "Let's go, follow him and take a look."

However, the two of them could only follow them to the gate of the county government office, and both Xiang Weinan and Qi Lie entered the government office.

After entering the house, Xiang Weinan smiled and patted Qi Lie on the shoulder, "I didn't expect it would be you who came."

Qi Lie sat on a chair and poured himself a cup of tea. "Do you think I'm here just for you? You're just being sentimental."

Xiang Weinan narrowed his eyes, "Then who are you doing for?"

"Jun Lu Xiang."

Xiang Weinan, "..."

"I'm engaged."

Qi Lie almost spit out a mouthful of tea, "Of course I know, the other party is still Meng Yunzheng. Do you think I don't want to live anymore, so I'm going to steal someone from Mr. Meng?"

"Then you can't be here for the sunflower oil, right? This kind of thing can be left to the palace to purchase, why do you need to come here in person?"

Qi Lie sighed, "Sunflower oil is one of them."

Xiang Weinan sat opposite him curiously, "What about the second one?"

Qi Lie glanced at him sideways and said, "You are so curious about other people's affairs, so you should think about yourself first. You will be returning to Beijing soon. After the Xiao family returned home a year ago, they were directly taken back by the Xiao family. When my father was sick, he went back to take care of his illness. Once he left, he never returned home again."

Xiang Weinan's expression became serious and he frowned slightly, "What did my parents say?"

"The Countess came to visit twice, and she also wanted to ask Mrs. Xiao to come back. But the Xiao family didn't let her go, so I was wondering what they were doing with your wife. They didn't know you would be promoted back a year ago, and the Emperor always I think it’s strange, so when you return to Beijing, go to Xiao’s house and have a look.”

"I know." Xiang Weinan got a headache when he thought of the Xiao family.

Fortunately, although Mrs. Xiao is a girl from the Xiao family, she is not the daughter of the family head.

Mrs. Xiao is the only granddaughter of the third master of the Xiao family. The eldest master of the Xiao family is the most powerful.

Concubine Xiao is the eldest master's daughter. Mrs. Xiao should call Concubine Xiao her cousin.

Because there is only one granddaughter of the Xiao family, Xiao, even though her father and grandfather are not officials, she is still very favored, especially by Concubine Xiao.

As a husband, Xiang Weinan has no problem taking Mrs. Xiao home. It is impossible for him to serve as a servant for the rest of his life.

Qi Lie and Xiang Weinan talked about some of the current situation in the capital, and then started to ask Shu Yu, "Lu Xiangjun, please find someone to tell me, I don't have much time in Jiangyuan County, so I'll take the sunflower oil first." Let’s talk about it later.”

"I asked Hu Li to go to Lu's house now."
