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

"I don't know." Gan Daping shook his head and said truthfully: "Old Yu and I tried to find out what she meant, but she and Miss Qing rejected us."

"Oh?"

Fu Yutang blinked and said nothing more.

After getting off the carriage, he told Gan Daping to lead the carriage to the stable in the backyard, and then led Wang Dagui inside.

Xiaoqing had been standing guard at the entrance of the hall, paying attention to the movements outside. When she saw Fu Yutang appear at the entrance, her anxiety suddenly eased and she turned to Xin Huarong and said, "Ah, Madam Hou, the master is back."

Xin Huarong quickly stood up and walked out of the hall, looking into the yard.

Under the bright moonlight, Fu Yutang, wearing a purple round-necked, wide-sleeved official robe, had a relaxed expression and was as solemn as the wind under a pine tree. He walked towards here tall and slowly, with Wang Dagui, one after the other.

Fu Yutang raised his eyes and saw Xin Huarong.

She has willow-shaped eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and a pretty face. She is a graceful and gentle beauty.

Along the way, in order to avoid being exposed, Fu Yutang had been guessing what the original body was thinking based on her life experience and how she usually called Xin Huarong.

Although the original body had some admiration for Fu Ping'an and did not punish him, it did not mean that the original body accepted him.

Moreover, Fu Yutang felt that the original body was not the kind of person who would ignore the pain of Xin Huarong and Qingrong, and instead follow the ethics and call Xin Huarong "stepmother".

On the contrary, she would most likely address Xin Huarong based on her relationship with Qingrong.

Therefore, when he saw Xin Huarong at this time, Fu Yutang tried to call her, "Xin...Auntie?"

Seeing that Xin Huarong looked normal and showed no surprise, he called out again with full confidence.

Xin Huarong agreed happily, walked up to her, looked at her gently, and said a lot of caring words.

Fu Yutang smiled and exchanged a few polite words with him, then walked into the hall side by side. After they sat down, he asked Xin Huarong about his purpose of coming.

Xin Huarong glanced at Wang Dagui and others behind her, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Seeing this, Fu Yutang smiled and said, "They are all my confidants, and they are not talkative people. Aunt Xin, please feel free to speak."

Hearing this, Xin Huarong smiled and nodded without saying anything more.

On the way back, Xin Huarong thought about it. Xiaoqing would study with her in the future and would inevitably leave the house often. In order to prevent Atang from thinking too much, it would be better for the two of them to tell Atang frankly about their friendship.

After skimming over the draft, he got straight to the point: "Some time ago, that jerk suddenly changed his temper and wanted you to move back to the Marquis' Mansion, so he asked me to be the lobbyist. After a few visits, I became familiar with Xiaoqing..."

Hiding Xiaoqing was Qingrong's business. Xin Huarong recounted the whole story of how he met (reunited) Xiaoqing, and stated that he and Xiaoqing hit it off at first sight, and that he planned to ask Xiaoqing out often in the future.

In response to this, Fu Yutang readily welcomed it. As long as Xiaoqing was free, she could make an appointment with her anytime. She would definitely not restrict Xiaoqing from going out.

Xin Huarong and Xiaoqing looked at each other, and both were very happy.

Fu Yutang was also very happy. Ever since she learned of Xiaoqing's true identity, she really didn't know how to treat her. She was also worried that Xiaoqing would find out that she was a fake, so she could only try to reduce contact.

Now, from what Xin Huarong said, he wants to ask Xiaoqing out every day.
