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

However, Old Master Fang was clearly blinded by Fang Qingyou and actually sided with this wild girl.

In this situation, whether she likes it or not, she has no choice but to accept her fate and suffer in silence!

Sure enough, Old Master Fang quickly nodded: "You'er, you're right, she should be punished properly. You should pay the consultation fee!"

As he spoke, Old Master Fang coldly addressed Madam Zhou: "Eldest daughter, immediately send someone to fetch one hundred taels of silver, no, send a two thousand tael silver note. In addition to this one hundred taels for the consultation fee, you must also make up for all the monthly allowances owed to You'er, Ting'er, and Fourth Aunt over the years."

The reason why Old Master Fang was so generous was not only because he genuinely wanted to compensate Fang Qingyou, but also because he saw a young eunuch beside Eunuch Luo walk outside the door.

Upon hearing this, Zhou was so angry he almost bled profusely.

She wouldn't even give Fang Qingyou a hundred taels, but Old Master Fang actually made her spend two thousand taels of silver all at once. It felt like a huge chunk of her flesh had been ripped out!

Although Fang Xing'an had already told her about supplementing the monthly allowance for that vixen Ren and her two bastard children, she had originally planned to keep postponing it, but now...

"Thank you, Grandpa Fang." Fang Qingyou thanked Grandpa Fang with a faint smile, but in her heart she was already calculating that this money could be used to fund the construction of the house. As long as the design drawings were completed, construction could begin.

As for gratitude, Fang Qingyou would never truly be grateful to Old Master Fang. The Fang family owes Madam Ren and her two children far more than just the monthly allowances they have received over the years; how could a mere two thousand taels of silver possibly make up for it?

Moreover, even just considering the silver alone, two thousand taels is still too little. If the Ren family and their two children had been taken in by the Fang family back then, the expenses over the years would have far exceeded two thousand taels.

Knowing that Eunuch Luo was getting impatient, Old Master Fang instructed Zhou to send over two or three thousand taels of silver notes and some other items as soon as possible.

If it weren't for Eunuch Luo's presence preventing him from interfering too much, Old Master Fang would have wanted to send someone from the manor to escort Fang Qingyou back.

When Eunuch Luo and Fang Qingyou left, the entire Fang family came to see them off, making for a grand send-off.

After leaving the sight of the Fang family, Fang Qingyou apologized to Eunuch Luo once again: "Eunuch Luo, I am so sorry, I have wasted too much time at the Fang residence."

Eunuch Luo smiled kindly: "Miss Fang, you don't need to be so polite with us."

When Eunuch Luo saw Fang Qingyou come out of the Fang residence, she had a smile on her face, but it always seemed forced, as if she had something on her mind. So he couldn't help but ask, "Miss Fang, did something happen at the Fang residence?"

Fang Qingyou shook her head and said, "It's nothing. I'm just a little worried about Miss Fang. She took me to tour the garden today, but unexpectedly, she accidentally fell into the lake. I wonder how she is now? I really hate myself. I was standing right in front of Miss Fang. If I had reacted faster, perhaps she could have avoided falling into the water..."

As Fang Qingyou spoke, she suddenly realized something and looked at Eunuch Luo apologetically: "Eunuch Luo, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have taken up so much of your time, I..."

Seeing Fang Qingyou's remorseful expression, Eunuch Luo's eyes flickered, but he simply smiled and comforted her, "Miss Fang, it's understandable that you two are staying a little longer, since it's still early and we're not in a hurry. Don't feel bad about it."

Only then did Fang Qingyou's face regain a smile: "Thank you for your understanding, Eunuch Luo."

A smile flickered deep in Fang Qingyou's eyes.

Eunuch Luo should have already understood the deeper meaning in her words. She didn't expect Eunuch Luo to tell Emperor Mingde about these things, and only hoped that Eunuch Luo wouldn't have any goodwill towards the Fang family.

If Eunuch Luo harbors even the slightest dislike for the Fang family, he will likely stop saying anything nice to Emperor Mingde in the future.

Fang Qingyou returned in triumph today, and the Ren family members were already waiting outside the door.

After receiving the imperial decree and expressing gratitude for the reward, they bid farewell.

After seeing off Eunuch Luo and his entourage, it became time for Fang Qingyou and her group to relax.

Seeing the worried look on Madam Ren's face and the expectation in Fang Runting's eyes, Fang Qingyou pulled everyone down to sit and began to tell them about the events in the palace.

Palaces, beautiful scenery, beautiful women...

Of course, Fang Qingyou deliberately erased the fact that she had met Luo Qianmo.

It must be said that Fang Qingyou is very talented in storytelling, vividly recounting those events and making everyone feel as if they were there.

Even Elder Xing was moved by her words to want to see the palace with his own eyes, and Green Field couldn't wait to jump into the palace and take a look.

After everyone finished having fun, Fang Qingyou went to the kitchen to show off her culinary skills, with Ren Shi and Aunt Luo helping her. This meal was a reward she had promised Green Field.

At dinner time, with delicious food and fine wine in front of them, everyone was in high spirits, but Yi Lingyun seemed somewhat absent-minded.

After dinner, Fang Qingyou planned to talk to Yi Lingyun, saying that she had wronged him about what happened today.

When Fang Qingyou went to find Yi Lingyun, it seemed that Yi Lingyun also happened to have something to ask her.

Before Fang Qingyou could speak, she saw Yi Lingyun hand her a wooden sign.

This brand is made of superior wood, with an extremely subtle woody fragrance. One side is carved with an exquisitely detailed pattern of mountains and pavilions, while the other side features only a powerful black "华" (Hua) character. Overall, it looks very simple and grand, and you can tell it's extraordinary at a glance.

For some reason, seeing this wooden sign suddenly reminded Fang Qingyou of the scenes in TV dramas where emperors would choose their consorts.

Ahem, are you planning to have her choose Consort Hua tonight?

Fang Qingyou was about to tease Yi Lingyun when she saw him earnestly hand the wooden plaque to her again: "Xiaoyou, this is for you."

"Huh? You're giving it to me?" Fang Qingyou was a little confused. Why would Yi Lingyun give her this wooden plaque out of the blue?

"Yes. This is for you. Luo Qianmo gave you a jade pendant, so I want to give you something too."

Seeing Yi Lingyun's handsome face, filled with jealousy yet also a touch of childishness, Fang Qingyou smiled and accepted the wooden plaque. She winked brightly at him and gently patted his shoulder: "Darling Yun, you don't need to be so insecure. I don't consider Luo Qianmo a friend at all. It's just that he's the Eighth Prince, and I had no choice but to accept his gift under his oppressive influence. But you're different; you're a friend I've always considered. I'll definitely cherish what you gave me."

As she spoke, Fang Qingyou wondered where she should put the wooden sign; she couldn't let it get lost.

The next moment, she heard Yi Lingyun lower her head and say to her somewhat awkwardly, "Xiao You, you don't need to treasure it. I want you to carry it with you every day..."
