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

"what?"

Fu Ping'an knew every word that Shen Huarong said, but why didn't he understand when they were put together?

After trying to go over her words from beginning to end several times, Fu Ping'an finally grasped the key point - "Xiaoqing is obviously an ordinary person."

He stared at the woman in front of him for a long while, then suddenly raised his voice and asked in surprise, "You said that the maid in the unfilial man's house is a human, not a ghost?"

Xin Huarong was startled by him out of the blue. When she reacted, she was even more surprised than him, "What else? And, didn't you arrange that maid?!"

"When did I arrange it?" Fu Pingan looked at her and said speechlessly, "It's hard for me to enter the mansion of that unfilial son, so how can I send anyone in?"

After a pause, he couldn't wait to ask, "Isn't that maid Qing Rong?"

"What else?" Xin Huarong glanced at him, his face showing his usual mockery. "She is just an ordinary maid. Only someone like you who has done many bad things would be suspicious of someone who looks like Qingrong."

"How could I?" Fu Ping'an replied with his neck stiffened. After a pause, he continued, "But if she wasn't Qing Rong, why did she scare me that night?"

"That night?" Xin Huarong grasped the key point and looked at him with a frown on his face. "What did you do behind my back again?"

"I am your husband! Why do you always think so badly of me, woman?"

Yes, he was blinded by lust and forced Qingrong on her.

But he admitted his mistake later.

She, on the other hand, accepted his apologies on the surface over the years, but in private, she looked down on him and ridiculed him whenever she saw him.

"Since the incident with Qing Rong, I haven't touched any of the maids in the backyard. I have turned over a new leaf, what else do you want from me?"

Fu Pingan became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He raised his voice involuntarily, "I just did something wrong when I was young. Do you have to hold on to it? Haven't I been tolerant and good enough to you over the years?"

Xin Huarong was shocked and wondered where Fu Ping'an got the courage to say such words.

Yes, he had been well-behaved in the mansion over the years and no longer attacked the maids, but that was because he was tired of playing with them and felt that the maids were not as charming as the courtesans, so he stayed in brothels instead!

As for being tolerant of her, it was because all the money he used to go to the brothel came from her dowry!

"You, you are so shameless!"

Xin Huarong was so angry at his self-righteous attitude that she trembled all over. She pointed at him and said, "Fu Ping'an, are you still a man? How can you be so shameless?"

What he said was all true, how could he be shameless?

Fu Ping'an didn't understand what Xin Huarong was angry about at all. He thought she was dissatisfied with him for not treating her well enough, so he said, "I will treat you better in the future, but the premise is that you have to help me bring back the unfilial son."

In response, Xin Huarong simply slapped him on the back of his head.

Fu Ping'an didn't care. He walked around to her and chattered, "As long as you can bring the unfilial son back to the Marquis' Mansion, I will listen to you from now on and only treat you well. Besides, I didn't do anything bad that night. I was busy with business..."

In line with the idea that husband and wife are one, he did not feel embarrassed at all. Apart from the fact that he was acting on the emperor's secret order, he directly told Fu Yutang everything about sending the oiran, as well as how he was framed and threatened.
