The messenger from Luojiang County had arrived in Yizhou City, and County Magistrate Tang said to Madam Tang, "My lady, with the unpredictable chills and warmth of spring, it seems like I've fallen ill."
Madam Tang became anxious, "You're ill?"
County Magistrate Tang nodded gravely, "That's why I will be closing doors and recuperating for the next couple of days; the external affairs will trouble you."
Upon hearing this, Madam Tang eyed him suspiciously and scrutinized his complexion. Seeing his rosy cheeks and noting no issues with his voice, she rolled her eyes in annoyance, "If you want me to cover for you, just say so. Why scare me? Where are you planning to go?"
County Magistrate Tang said, "I'm taking a trip to Luojiang County."
Madam Tang's brow furrowed slightly.
County Magistrate Tang hastened to reassure her, "It's nothing serious, just a case that requires my attention there."
"What kind of case requires secrecy from Governor Ming and everyone else?"
