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

Upon hearing this, even with his excellent patience, Old Master Fang's face darkened.

When Fang Qingman fell into the water, Fang Qingyou didn't actively seek punishment like the others, and even put on an attitude of indifference, which he could tolerate.

But saving his own sisters is the right thing to do, yet Fang Qingyou actually asked him for medical fees?

Fang Xing'an's expression was equally grim. His daughter, Fang Qingyou, always gave him a feeling of being powerless to control her, and now her attitude was simply arrogant to the extreme.

Zhou noticed the changes in the expressions of Old Master Fang and Fang Xing'an. A sinister glint flashed in her eyes, but her face showed the reproachful expression of a loving mother disciplining her daughter: "You'er, you always like to joke. How can you not restrain yourself in front of your grandfather?"

Fang Qingyou gave Zhou a big smile: "Madam Fang is joking. When it comes to joking, I think Miss Fang the Second is better than me."

Zhou was taken aback, wondering why Fang Qingyou would say such a thing.

“Madam Fang, did you know that before Miss Fang the Second fell into the water, she had actually slipped and fallen once? She should have gone to see a doctor immediately then, but she was too playful and insisted on going to the pond to look at the lotus flowers, which resulted in her accidentally falling into the water.” As she spoke, Fang Qingyou’s expression turned fearful: “At that time, Miss Fang the Third and I were right in front of Miss Fang the Second. Fortunately, we reacted in time, otherwise she would have knocked us into the water too, and we wouldn’t have had a chance to save Miss Fang the Second…”

Fang Qingrong's expression changed drastically upon hearing Fang Qingyou's words. Although it sounded like Fang Qingyou was emphasizing Fang Qingman's carelessness to Zhou Shi, Fang Qingrong could tell from her words that she was implying that she hadn't been able to save Fang Qingman in time...

No wonder Fang Qingyou knew something and deliberately dragged her into this mess?

But Fang Qingrong didn't dare to be sure of this, because she didn't dare to look up. She felt that even with her head down, she could feel Zhou's gloomy gaze on her.

Fang Qingyou was well aware of Fang Qingrong's intentions. From the first moment they met, she disliked this hypocritical and slick woman. She knew that Fang Qingrong's life in the Fang family was not easy, but the hardships of life were not an excuse for harming others or committing crimes.

Since Fang Qingrong is willing to become a henchman in the hands of the evil tiger, then she must be prepared to pay the price that a henchman should pay!

Zhou was extremely upset. Fang Qingyou's words made it sound as if Fang Qingman had deliberately pushed her into the water. And that wretched girl Fang Qingrong, who usually pretended to be so loyal and obedient, revealed her true colors at the crucial moment. She would deal with that wretched girl later!

Right now, the most important thing is to deal with Fang Qingyou, that wild girl.

For a moment, Zhou didn't know how to answer. If she didn't defend Fang Qingman, people would think she was cruel. But if she did defend Fang Qingman, people would think she was a bad mother who didn't discipline her daughter properly and was too indulgent.

After much deliberation, Zhou managed to force a smile that looked more like a grimace: "You'er, Man'er has always been straightforward and acts without thinking. She didn't do what she did today on purpose, so please don't blame her."

Upon hearing this, a sly glint flashed across Fang Qingyou's clear eyes.

“Madam Fang, I know that Miss Fang didn’t mean it, so I didn’t blame her. However, Madam Fang should have a good talk with Miss Fang later. It’s really inappropriate for her to like to joke like that. She was lucky this time that she only suffered some minor injuries, but I’m afraid she won’t be so lucky next time.”

As she spoke, Fang Qingyou patted her chest with lingering fear, seemingly quite frightened earlier.

Zhou almost couldn't help but curse out loud; this wild girl was actually lecturing her!

Just then, Old Master Fang's voice rang out, tinged with gritted teeth: "You'er, we really owe you a lot this time."

This incident greatly embarrassed Old Master Fang, and he naturally harbored resentment towards Fang Qingman. This short-sighted and reckless fool had actually done such a thing.

Do we want the whole world to know that the daughter of the Fang family is jealous and vicious enough to harm even her own sister?

“Master Fang, saving lives is my duty, but while I can save Miss Fang this time, I may not be able to save her next time. To prevent danger from happening again, we must make sure Miss Fang remembers this lesson so that we can eliminate future troubles. That’s why I asked Miss Fang for her consultation fee. I think it would be best to deduct all one hundred taels from her monthly allowance this time, so that she will learn from this experience and think carefully before acting next time.”

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Fang Qingyou emphasized the word "consider" in her tone, making it sound as if Fang Qingman were a brainless idiot.

Upon hearing that Fang Qingyou was asking for one hundred taels of silver for her consultation, everyone's expression changed.

Even the best doctor in the capital wouldn't charge this much for a single house call. Fang Qingyou's behavior is tantamount to robbery!

But Fang Qingyou's earnest and sincere manner, which made it impossible for Old Master Fang to refuse her.

Moreover, Old Master Fang did not want to reject Fang Qingyou, and Fang Qingman deserved to be punished for doing such a thing.

A fine of one hundred taels is not much for her. If she is not punished properly, who knows what she might do next time!

Moreover, if one hundred taels of silver could change Fang Qingyou's attitude towards the Fang family and make her think that her grandfather treated her well, then the silver would be well spent.

He would be willing to give even a thousand taels of silver, let alone a hundred!

The gifts that Empress Qin bestowed upon the Fang family today alone far exceeded one hundred taels of silver, not to mention that this was an immense honor.

Fang Xing'an was initially unwilling to pay Fang Qingyou for her medical consultation, but upon hearing that the money was all deducted from Fang Qingman's monthly allowance, he had no objections.

Anyway, the Fang family's young lady's food, drink, and clothing expenses were all covered by the family's budget each month, so even without a monthly allowance, Fang Qingman wouldn't starve.

Zhou was extremely unhappy. Not only was she unhappy, she really wanted to pounce on Fang Qingyou and tear her to pieces. Looking at this wild girl's smug and arrogant appearance, she was furious.

One hundred taels of silver. Fang Qingman only received three taels of silver a month. With this deduction, wouldn't she not receive her monthly allowance for almost three years?

One hundred taels of silver wasn't much to Zhou, but she was still furious. She couldn't stand that her daughter had been bullied, and she couldn't stand giving the silver to this wild girl.

What's even more infuriating is that she had only said that Fang Qingman was always impulsive and thoughtless, and this wild girl had mocked Fang Qingman for not using her brain when she did things.

Her perfectly good daughter was being belittled like this by this wild girl; it infuriated her!
