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

The footsteps had reached the door. Fu Yutang pursed her lips and raised the bench high. Wang Dagui on the opposite side also held his breath and silently clenched the bench leg in his hand, waiting for the two people outside to come in and smash it on their heads.

But I didn't expect the footsteps to just pass by quickly without stopping for a moment. I thought it must be a servant passing by.

Thank God for his blessing!

Fu Yutang screamed in his heart and waited for a while. After making sure that the person outside would not suddenly come back, Fu Yutang quickly put down the bench in his hand, opened the door, looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one around, he turned his head and winked at Wang Dagui. The two of them crouched and tiptoed out of the room.

Fearing that he would be caught, Fu Yutang ran out of the room like a wild horse. Wang Dagui chased him from behind, shouting in a low voice: "Sir, we are wrong, we are wrong. The main courtyard is in front! The gate is over there."

Fu Yutang paused, then immediately turned around and ran in the direction Wang Dagui pointed. However, before he had taken two steps, he saw a tall figure walking towards this direction from afar.

Fu Yutang was startled and looked around for a hiding place. Finding there was nothing to hide around, he turned his eyes to the main courtyard behind him. He made a quick decision and rushed into the main courtyard and dived into a room.

Just as I hid, I heard the angry conversation between the Xiaofeng brothers outside the yard.

"Where are the people? Where did they go?"

"It's only been a short while. He can't get far. Let's split up and look for him."

After saying that, Brother Yan mentioned by Xiaofeng took the lead and walked in one of the directions.

"Damn it! If I had known I would have tied him up with a rope first!"

He was just a little bit away from killing Fu Yutang, eliminating the enemy for the young master, and avenging Lord Liu!

Just a little bit different!

Xiao Feng was very upset. He walked in the opposite direction and said fiercely, "When I find him later, I will break his legs and see where he can run to!"

Through the crack in the door, Fu Yutang saw Xiao Feng's fierce expression and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Isn't this too cruel? You and I have no grudges, we are both human beings, why do we have to kill each other?

Gently closing the door, Fu Yutang turned around and looked around the room.

Just now, I only chose to hide in the room closest to me without even looking at what room it was. Now, seeing a room full of books but no furniture or decorations, I realized that this was a study.

Fu Yutang glanced casually and then looked away. When he turned his head, his eyes met someone's.

When he saw clearly that the person in front of him was Wang Dagui, Fu Yutang opened his eyes wide and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"I hid in here with the adults." Wang Dagui answered as a matter of course. After a pause, he said aggrievedly, "It's just that you were attracted by the books in the room and didn't notice me."

Fu Yutang said, "What I mean is, aren't you from this mansion? Why are you hiding?"

Wang Dagui uttered an "ah" before he realized what was happening. He said embarrassedly, "I was so happy to see you, sir, that I forgot that I am now a servant of the Ji Mansion."

Hearing this, Fu Yutang was speechless.

Perhaps knowing that his excuse was too ridiculous, Wang Dagui glanced at her guiltily. Seeing that she did not show any displeasure, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said before Fu Yutang could speak: "Please rest here for a while, I will go out and send Xiaofeng and his brother away."

Fu Yutang said "hmm" indifferently, and imitated the officials on TV, waving his hand expressionlessly and said, "Go ahead, but be careful not to reveal your identity."

"Yes." Wang Dagui responded respectfully, opened the door and walked out.

Fu Yutang walked around the study.

I saw a desk next to the bookshelf, with all the writing brushes, inkstones, and paper on it. I walked over and was immediately attracted by the papers on the desk.

On the paper, a small poem was written with full ink:

"Spring has come to an end for the crabapple blossoms, and the garden is full of fallen petals.

The green leaves still contain dew, but the red makeup has faded.

The flowers fall in the gentle wind, and the moonlight is as faint as smoke.

Walking alone in search of a secluded path, the empty mountain is filled with the chirping of birds. "

Fu Yutang didn't know whether the poem was good or not, but he could tell whether the calligraphy was good or not.

The handwriting is clear and the strokes are sharp, not bad!

As the saying goes, "The handwriting reflects the writer." I guess the person who wrote this character is also a person with a good heart.

Fu Yutang said in his heart.

Just at this moment, Xiaofeng's slightly nervous voice came from the yard.

"Sir, you're back so soon?"

Fu Yutang was startled and subconsciously hid behind the bookshelf.

The door creaked open and two people walked in together.

Fu Yutang looked through the gap and saw that the leading young man was about 20 years old, tall and slender, wearing a light blue robe. His face was fair and handsome, his ink-black eyes were slightly cool, his nose was high, his angular thin lips were tightly pursed, and his face was expressionless, just like a statue of a god enshrined in a temple, pure and elegant, not like an ordinary person.

Xiao Feng followed behind him, his expression respectful yet a little guilty, completely different from the vicious man who had spoken before.

Fu Yutang blinked. Being called Young Master by Xiaofeng, that must be... the mortal enemy of the original body! The cool and aloof male second who has fascinated his friend to death - Jixue!

It is said that the male protagonist is used to develop the plot, and the second male protagonist is used to harvest the readers' love.

Now seeing that, it is indeed the case!

Unable to help but take another look at the young man with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, Fu Yutang admired in his heart: "Look at this extraordinary face, look at this figure, wow, it's really top-notch!"

The master and servant didn't know that there was someone hiding in the study, and they talked as they walked.

Jixue turned her head and asked Xiaofeng beside her, "Have you completed the tasks I asked you to do?"

Xiaofeng was thinking about Fu Yutang and did not reply for a while.

After waiting for a while, he came back to his senses and quickly lowered his head and replied: "Don't worry, sir. Brother Yan and I have arranged everything. Liu Xiang will definitely arrive in Shucheng safely!"

Jixue nodded slightly, hummed in a deep voice, walked to the back of the desk and sat down. Noticing that the person in front of him was a little absent-minded, she asked, "Did you encounter any trouble on the way?"

"No." Xiao Feng shook his head without even thinking, "Nothing happened."

"Then why do you have a wound on your face?"

"Uh..." Xiao Feng subconsciously touched his face, his face froze, and he stammered, "I just accidentally fell down." In his heart, he cursed Fu Yutang. I don't know what's wrong with that guy. He is so defensive. He was knocked unconscious by the thunder, but when he felt someone approaching, he punched and kicked to prevent people from getting close. It took a lot of effort to bring her back, but he didn't expect that the other party was the mortal enemy of the young master!

Ji Xue didn't say anything when she heard that. She just raised her eyes and looked at him calmly.

A few seconds later, Xiao Feng lowered his head guiltily and said, "I'm sorry, sir, I just lied to you. In fact, I saved someone on the way back. I didn't expect that person...that person was actually your enemy Fu Yutang. After learning his identity, I wanted to kill him, but in the end, he ran away..."

"Huh?" Jixue paused, a hint of surprise showing on her cold face, and motioned him to tell the whole thing in detail.

Xiao Feng agreed naturally, and said without reservation: "When Brother Yan and I were returning to the city, halfway through the journey, Fu Yutang suddenly jumped out from the side path, looking panicked and asking for help from us. I don't know if this bastard has done too many bad things, and God couldn't stand it anymore. At the moment he appeared, a thunderbolt fell inexplicably on a sunny day, hitting him accurately, and he fainted on the spot. Brother Yan and I saw that he was charred all over, which was really pitiful, so we took him back to the mansion and temporarily placed him in the abandoned yard at the back..."

"...That's how it is." Xiao Feng's face was full of regret, "It was just a little bit short!"

After listening to him, Jixue frowned slightly and said calmly: "It seems that when you and Xiaoyan were discussing how to poison him, he woke up."

"...Yes." Xiaofeng lowered his head even deeper. "After Brother Yan and I returned, we saw that the two benches that placed the bed boards had been pulled out and thrown behind the door. Then we knew that he was hiding behind the door at that time." There was only a door separating him from them.

The two benches were like two slaps in the face of him and Xiaoyan, mocking them for their stupidity and missed opportunities.

Xiao Feng knelt on the ground with a plop, and said regretfully: "It's my fault for not doing my job well. Please punish me, sir!"

Seeing that the follower who had been with her since childhood was upset and about to cry, Jixue pursed her lips slightly and comforted her: "This has nothing to do with you. You can only blame Fu Yutang for being too cunning."

Fu Yutang, who was hiding and watching, said: "......?"

Did something go wrong?

What does this have to do with me?

It wasn't me who asked him to go back and get the poison!

Besides, who would be so stupid as to stay there if they knew someone was going to kill them? If it were you, you would probably run faster than me!

In an instant, Fu Yutang's favorability towards him plummeted.

Seeing that you look like a banished immortal who is out of touch with the world, I thought you were a god, but I didn't expect that you are a guy who talks nonsense and puts the blame on others!

You deserve not to be the male lead!

Jixue was completely unaware of Fu Yutang's complaints. She paused and said thoughtfully, "Besides, he was not alone at the time."

After all, one bench is enough for self-defense, there is no need to bring out two benches.

According to Xiaofeng, it had been less than an hour since he brought Fu Yutang back to the mansion, but the other party was able to determine Fu Yutang's whereabouts in such a short time and rescue her. This shows that the person was most likely hiding in the mansion.

Thinking of this, he said with a slightly cold look in his eyes: "Xiaofeng, ask the gatekeeper to close the door of the mansion immediately. Call all the servants over, I want to interrogate them personally. Also, ask Xiaoyan to bring a team of guards to search the courtyards. Fu Yutang should still be in the mansion at this time."

"Once we find him," he paused, a hint of murderous intent appeared on his normally calm face, and he said in a deep voice, "Kill him on the spot!"

Fu Yutang is the most vindictive person. Now Xiaofeng has offended her, and she knows that he has returned to Beijing to avenge his mentor. The two have not met yet, but the feud has been completely formed. Once Fu Yutang escapes, she will definitely not let it go.

In that case, he might as well take the initiative and take advantage of the fact that the other party is missing to kill her directly!
