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

As soon as they met, he pulled Rui Chengyin into his carriage.

Rui Chengyin asked in surprise, "Dad, what are you doing? I still have to go to the Imperial Censorate to be on duty."

"I'll take you there." Ning Anbo instructed the driver outside, then turned to look at Rui Chengyin and asked, "I heard that your grandfather is back? Is he at Minister Fu's residence right now?"

Rui Chengyin was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said speechlessly, "Dad, where did you get this false news? My grandfather is back from a trip to Beijing. Even if he doesn't go back to the Earl's Mansion, he can rest in my house. How could he go to Fu Yutang's house?"

"So, your grandfather is not at Minister Fu's house at all?"

"Of course. Our Ning'an Marquis's Mansion has no relationship with Fu Yutang, so how could our grandfather go to his house?" At this point, Rui Chengyin raised his eyes and asked in confusion: "Dad, why do you have such a strange guess?"

"It's your uncle Mincai!" Rui Yuanguang slapped his thigh and said angrily, "He said that Minister Fu kidnapped your grandfather and brought him to his mansion to be a male prostitute..."

Crackling, gurgling, blah blah.

"...That's how it is." Rui Yuanguang helplessly held his forehead, shook his head and sighed: "Rumors are as fierce as tigers!"

Something that clearly did not happen was spread so realistically that even he almost believed it.

Rui Chengyin's expression changed from astonishment at first, to shock, to speechlessness, and finally to numbness. In the end, he had no idea what expression he should show and his face became completely paralyzed.

"This is nonsense!" He said angrily with a wooden face, "If I knew who was making up stories about my grandfather behind my back, I would definitely teach him a lesson!"

"Let's put this aside for now." Rui Yuanguang waved his hand, restrained his expression, and said seriously: "Tell me first, why did you ride in the same car with Minister Fu this morning, and why did you help him deal with Minister Qian and Zhang Xiaoshuai?"

It can't be that he suddenly got the idea and knew to curry favor with others, right?

Speaking of this, Rui Chengyin became a little indignant and recounted what happened last night in a few words.

"Fu Yutang is so sinister!" Rui Chengyin's eyes were red with anger, and he said indignantly: "If he hadn't threatened me with Wangcai, I would not even bother to go with him! He is a villain! Apart from using such low-class and despicable means, what else can he do!"

"He will teach you a lesson!" Rui Yuanguang waved his palm and mercilessly hit him on the back of the head, cursing: "I told you again and again not to provoke him, but you ignored me, didn't you? You still have the nerve to be angry? You should be thankful that he doesn't make a fuss about you. If he really wanted to plot against you, you would have died hundreds of times!"

"Dad, you think too highly of him!" Rui Chengyin covered his head and cried out, "He is just a fool. If the late emperor had not loved him and taken the initiative to extend the title of Marquis of Annan and arranged an official position for him, he and Marquis of Annan would not know where to dig for food in the suburbs of Beijing now!"

"Who gave you the confidence to say such arrogant and ignorant words?!" Rui Yuanguang glared with anger and shouted, "Do you think you are smarter and better than him?"

Rui Chengyin curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "If I had the opportunity to study with Master Shao, at least I would not be like him, who studied for nearly ten years and could not even write a good article, and Master Shao would not expel me from his school."

Even though he didn't show it obviously on his face, his words were unconsciously filled with contempt and disdain for Fu Yutang.

"So, you think that everything he has today is all because he is lucky and was treated specially by the late emperor, right?" Rui Yuanguang asked expressionlessly.

"Isn't it?" Rui Chengyin asked back, paused, and added, "This is a well-known fact."

Hearing this, Rui Yuanguang seemed to have lost all his strength. He leaned against the wall of the car, looked at the scenery outside the window that was constantly receding, sighed almost inaudibly, and whispered: "Based on what you said, you are no match for him."

"Dad, you overestimate him." Rui Chengyin replied.

Seeing Rui Chengyin's face full of dissatisfaction, Rui Yuanguang felt indescribably disappointed and once again envied Fu Ping'an.

No matter how disappointed I am, he is my son after all, and I still have to give him some advice.

He retracted his gaze and suddenly asked, "Since you still remember that Fu Yutang's essay attracted everyone's ridicule and made Master Shao furious, then do you still remember who were the last two Jinshi after the palace examination results came out, except for his and Prince Ling's essays being invalidated?"
