Rejecting Guests

The manservant stood up.

Zhou Zhi went straight to the point and asked, "Is your master, Minister Li, around? Has he been out recently?"

Su Xiaolu glanced at Zhou Zhi. Zhou Zhi did not seem to like beating around the bush.

When the manservant heard this, he hurriedly replied, "Your Highness, my master hasn't seen any guests since last month. The shopkeeper has been in charge of the family's business. Now that the plague has broken out in the city, my master won't go out. My master hasn't gone out since last month."

Minister Li had not gone out for almost two months.

How could a businessman be so strange?

Zhou Zhi asked again, "Your master is in the business world. Why hasn't he gone out for so long? Is there something going on?"

There was indeed something wrong with Minister Li. People in the business world had to socialize the most. It was unbelievable that Minister Li had not gone out for more than a month.
