After the villain was defeated, she still had power in the government

Although Yu Shi was lazy, he was at least patient when facing Fu Yutang and the others.

He has no patience at all towards irrelevant outsiders.

Seeing Rui Chengyin and his group standing at the door like idiots, neither saying whether to come in nor not, hesitating, he immediately frowned and said impatiently: "Do you want to come in? If not, I will close the door. Don't delay my meal."

"… Sorry for bothering you then."

In the end, the worry about Wangcai prevailed. Rui Chengyin gritted his teeth and led Ah San in.

Because Fu Yutang had not yet married and there were no female relatives in the mansion, Rui Chengyin did not need to be shy about anything. Therefore, he followed Yu Shi all the way to the backyard.

According to etiquette, he first told Fu Yutang the reason. At the end, he said insincerely: "I didn't mean to bother you. I was really worried that Wangcai might have met with an accident, so I came here with such a thick face."

Fu Yutang expressed his understanding. Facing the expectant eyes of Wang Dagui and the other two, he waved at Rui Chengyin and said directly, "Then you guys can look around. We are going to eat."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dagui, Yu Shi and Xiaoqing's gloomy expressions suddenly became happy.

If you were asked what is the saddest thing about being a ghost?

That is to watch living people devour delicious food with relish, while they cannot touch or eat it and can only swallow their saliva.

Nowadays, it is a rare opportunity to be a human being. The thing I want to do most and look forward to the most every day is eating.

So, after hearing Fu Yutang's words, the three of them hurriedly picked up their bowls and chopsticks, and said to each other, "Master, eat. Old Yu (Uncle Yu), eat. Dagui (Brother Dagui), eat. Xiaoqing (Miss Qing), eat." Then, they started to eat as if no one was around, leaving afterimages of their chopsticks dancing in their hands.

Rui Chengyin: “…”

Are these people the reincarnations of ghosts who died of starvation?

As for looking like he hasn’t eaten for hundreds of years?

Also, Fu Yutang, do you really not care and let me walk around your house freely, or are you pretending to be generous but actually sending people to monitor me secretly?

Or maybe you have set some trap inside, waiting for me to fall into it?

Ah San: "..."

Fu Yutang actually sat at the same table to eat with the servants.

He treats his servants so casually and leniently, not at all like the cold-blooded, ruthless and vindictive person as rumored outside.

For a moment, the master and servant had different thoughts and stared at Fu Yutang and the others without moving.

Fu Yutang was stunned when he saw Rui Chengyin and the other man standing there motionless. He picked up a piece of vegetable with chopsticks and asked casually, "Have you eaten yet?"

Rui Chengyin was so preoccupied with guessing Fu Yutang's motives that he didn't hear what she was saying at all. He subconsciously shook his head and said, "No."

No wonder he was staring at them!

Fu Yutang suddenly realized and said, "Then sit down and eat together."

Xiaoqing, who was standing by, heard this and got up to get the dishes and chopsticks from the kitchen.

Yu Shi and Wang Dagui stood up, vacated two seats, and then pushed Rui Chengyin and the other man to their seats, stuffed the bowls and chopsticks into their hands, and said, "Eat."

Things changed so quickly that Rui Chengyin and Asan had no time to react. They could only say "oh" blankly, pick up their bowls, and shovel rice into their mouths numbly.

Upon seeing this, the four masters and servants looked at each other and said tacitly, "No wonder they have been standing there motionless. Their real purpose is not to find Wangcai, but to beg for food!"

After a pause, he gave Xiaoqing an admiring look, "Miss Xiaoqing's cooking skills are really amazing. The adults next door are so jealous that they are crying!"

In response, Xiaoqing waved her hand modestly.

He ate in a daze, and was sent out by Fu Yutang in a daze. It was not until he stood outside his own door and was blown by the night wind that Rui Chengyin woke up.

No, isn’t it time for me to go look for Wangcai?

How come you came out empty-handed?

He subconsciously took two steps forward, wanting to go to the door again.

Just then, there was a slight noise at the entrance of the alley, and several figures walked towards this direction stealthily.

Rui Chengyin took a closer look and narrowed his eyes instantly.

The leader is... Marquis Annan? !
