The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

Fang Qingrong had no choice but to swallow her pride and quickly step forward, grabbing Fang Qingyou's arm: "Fifth Sister, the courtyard is just ahead, we're almost there, let's go take a look."

Fang Qingyou looked up at the sky and shook her head again, saying, "I think it's getting late. Let's go back soon and not keep Eunuch Luo waiting."

Upon hearing this, Fang Qingrong said urgently, "Fifth Sister, let's go take a look and come back immediately. It won't take more than a quarter of an hour. Eunuch Luo is always kind and reasonable, and he would be very happy for us sisters to spend more time together."

Fang Qingyou shook her head, her silence conveying her stance.

Seeing Fang Qingyou's smug and unyielding attitude, Fang Qingman was so angry she wanted to curse, but she was afraid that if she said anything too harsh, Fang Qingyou would really leave.

Therefore, she could only swallow her anger, which festered in her heart until her face turned bright red.

Although Fang Qingwei and the other two remained silent, their expressions were not very good.

Fang Qingyou glanced at Fang Qingrong, then at Fang Qingman, and then at Fang Qingwei and the other two. Suddenly, as if realizing something, she said, "Miss Fang, are you afraid that Old Master Fang will punish you? Don't worry, it's my own fault for not wanting to go to that courtyard. It's not your fault. When I see Old Master Fang later, I will tell him the truth and he won't blame you."

Hearing these words, Fang Qingman and the other four women's expressions changed, because these words struck a chord with them.

Of the five, Fang Qingman's face was the most unsightly, turning from red to black in an instant, almost like ink dripping from her skin.

Seeing this, Fang Qingyou's expression became even more serious. She looked earnestly at Fang Qingman and the other four and said, "Miss Fang, I'm really serious. You don't believe me, do you?"

As she spoke, Fang Qingyou blinked gently, looking innocent and harmless.

If someone looked closely, they would notice a glint of shrewdness in Fang Qingyou's bright eyes.

Seeing Fang Qingyou like this, Fang Qingrong was almost in tears. She wanted to comfort Fang Qingyou but didn't know what to say. Facing her fifth sister, whose reactions were always lukewarm, she always felt powerless, a deep sense of helplessness.

"Fifth Sister, how could we not believe you, I..."

Fang Qingtong finally couldn't hold back any longer and said with a worried look, "Fifth Sister, even though you say it, Grandfather might think that way. He must think we said something that made you not go to that courtyard."

Fang Qingyou shook her head disapprovingly: "Miss Fang, Old Master Fang is a broad-minded man, how could he think like that?"

Fang Qingtong's heart skipped a beat, and she stared wide-eyed at Fang Qingyou. She felt as if Fang Qingyou was implying that she thought Old Master Fang was stingy...

Upon hearing this, Fang Qingman's expression changed even more. She cursed Fang Qingrong inwardly for being useless. In desperation, she quickly tugged at Fang Qingwei, hoping that her younger sister could help her out of the predicament.

Fang Qingman knew exactly what kind of person Old Master Fang was. If Fang Qingyou really told him these words, he would definitely punish her to death.

Fang Qingwei knew Fang Qingman was anxious, so she first gave her a reassuring look, and then looked at Fang Qingyou and said, "Fifth Sister, I know you're in a hurry, but please stay a little longer. We were sent by Mother to show you around the courtyard, and this was also permitted by Grandfather. If we turn back now, we will not only break our promise to Mother, but also worry Grandfather. I hope Fifth Sister can come with us to the courtyard."

When Fang Qingwei spoke, she hit the nail on the head.

After she said that, their decision to return the way they came changed from selfishness stemming from fear of being punished by their elders to filial piety out of respect for them.

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Qingtong and Fang Qingrong nodded in agreement, almost pleading.

"Fifth Sister, I hope you will consider our situation."

"Fifth Sister, please, just come with us."

Fang Qingyun kept her head down the whole time, as if these things had nothing to do with her.

Fang Qingwei remained standing quietly, waiting for Fang Qingyou's reply.

Fang Qingman wanted to speak, but she couldn't bring herself to admit her status as the legitimate daughter of the Fang family. She was so anxious and angry that she trembled all over.

Fang Qingyou looked at the five people who called themselves her sisters and could tell that they all had different thoughts.

They didn't take her seriously before, but now that she's just scared them a little, they've become so nervous.

"Miss Fang is very polite, but if I really go to the courtyard with you, I wonder if Miss Fang would mind..." Fang Qingyou seemed to be considering Fang Qingtong and Fang Qingrong's words, and while thinking about it, she looked at Fang Qingman with some difficulty.

Fang Qingyou didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood that she was waiting for Fang Qingman to bow down to her, including Fang Qingman herself.

Therefore, Fang Qingman's anger flared up instantly.

How dare a lowly concubine's daughter treat me with such disrespect, expecting me to fawn over her!

Seeing that Fang Qingman's expression was off, Fang Qingrong quickly added, "Fifth Sister, you're overthinking it. How could Second Sister mind?"

"Hehe, is that so? But why does Miss Fang seem to mind so much?" Fang Qingyou smiled, seemingly asking Fang Qingman's opinion, but her eyes deliberately revealed a hint of smugness.

"Fang Qingyou, you..." Fang Qingman happened to notice the smugness in Fang Qingyou's eyes, and her anger could no longer be contained. Just as she was about to yell at her, she felt Fang Qingwei squeeze her hand slightly.

Fang Qingman knew what Fang Qingwei meant, but she was really angry. In the Fang family, it was always others who bowed down to her and went to great lengths to please her, but today she was being asked to bow down to a lowly concubine's daughter!

No, she doesn't want to!

Fang Qingwei seemed to sense Fang Qingman's thoughts, and squeezed her hand tightly again, shaking her head at Fang Qingman with a serious expression.

Fang Qingwei's expression was different from her previous advice; this time it seemed more like a warning.

This is a warning to Fang Qingman that if she persists, she will bear the consequences.

Seeing Fang Qingwei's expression, Fang Qingman regained some composure and managed to suppress her anger.

However, before that, she seemed to think of something, and a dark and ruthless light flashed quickly in her eyes: "Fifth Sister, you misunderstood me. I was just joking with you before, I didn't really mind you going to that courtyard."

Fang Qingman's stiff smile looked awful no matter how you looked at it, but right now she really hoped that Fang Qingyou could go to that courtyard.
