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

"Not this time. I really mean it."

Fu Yutang's peach blossom eyes were full of sincerity, and he said solemnly: "After all, I just accepted a thousand taels from you. I'll give you half a quarter of an hour to think carefully about whether you want to take Wangcai away."

Judging from the posture, he is just short of swearing to the sky.

"This……"

Rui Chengyin hesitated for a moment when he saw this.

He definitely wants Wangcai, but...

Is Fu Yutang really so kind?

Isn’t this really a trap?

"Do you suspect this is a trap?" Fu Yutang held his chin with one hand and looked at him, frowning and slightly dissatisfied: "You are too cautious. I am not that boring. There is no deep hatred between you and me. I have no need and no motivation to spend so much effort to plot against you."

Unexpectedly, the more she said this, the more defensive Rui Chengyin became. He stared at her and sneered, "If you really wanted to return Wangcai to me, you could have asked Ah San to return it to the mansion just now, instead of pretending to say that you would return Wangcai to me but not taking any action. This shows that there must be a trick!"

"Is this what you are worried about?" Fu Yutang looked at him in surprise and said helplessly, "You are really overthinking it. I wanted to return Wangcai to you from the beginning, but you refused. Now I am asking again just to avoid sending Wangcai back rashly, which would make you unhappy and eventually cause Wangcai to suffer your unreasonable harsh treatment. And..."

She stretched out her voice, a little smile on her face, "Don't you always think I'm a good-for-nothing? As a top scholar with great talent, wisdom and courage, why are you afraid of the schemes of a fool like me? You are so wise and intelligent, and I... am stupid and stubborn, and my methods are crude. Even if I really want to scheme against you, I can't hide it from your sharp eyes."

So, Fu Yutang really wants to return Wangcai to him instead of setting a trap for him to fall into?

Is there really no trap here?

Rui Chengyin frowned and stood on the ladder, feeling confused and uncertain.

While Rui Chengyin was thinking, Fu Yutang turned around and told Yu Bo to find someone to fix the door, and asked Xiaoqing to go to the kitchen to make a pot of tea. I talked too much and I felt thirsty.

After the two agreed, they stood up and went about their own business.

In the pavilion, only Fu Yutang, Wang Dagui, and Wangcai who was sleeping soundly were left.

"What have you thought about it? Do you want to take Wangcai away?" Fu Yutang asked.

“Of course!” Before Rui Chengyin could answer, Wang Dagui spoke first: “If I were Lord Rui, I would definitely take this opportunity to take Wangcai away. Otherwise, if Lord Rui threatened me with Wangcai’s life and asked me to remove the people who were monitoring you, wouldn’t I have to do it obediently? In this way, everything I did before would be in vain…”

When Wang Dagui thought of that scene, he couldn't help but show sympathy on his face and sighed, "It's really a loss of both money and soldiers."

When Rui Chengyin heard this, he discovered the loophole in his plan and his face suddenly changed.

Yes, Wang Dagui is right.

Wangcai is in Fu Yutang's hands, which means that Fu Yutang has his weak spot and can control him at any time!

He has to get Wangcai back.

Thinking of this, Rui Chengyin said, "I..." want Wangcai.

Unexpectedly, just after he uttered a syllable, he heard Fu Yutang cross his legs, holding his chin with one hand and smiling at him, and said slowly: "I advise you to think twice, you just paid 500 taels of food expenses for Wangcai, even if you take Wangcai away now, I will not return the 500 taels."

"Oh! If we take Wangcai away, won't we lose five hundred taels in vain? Will we let you take advantage of us for nothing?" Wang Dagui shouted.

Rui Chengyin paused and swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue. That’s right.

If Wangcai was taken away, wouldn't Fu Yutang have earned five hundred taels for nothing?
