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

According to Qian Zhu, Ma Qiang took the risk because he owed gambling debts and wanted to swindle some money from Cheng'an Medical Clinic.

However, what She Yuyan told Fang Qingyou was that Ma Qiang was someone who took money to do things for others, and that he was willing to sacrifice his own father for a hundred taels of silver.

Moreover, few people know that Ma Qiang, who appears to be a gambler, is actually a distant nephew of a housekeeper in the Du family.

That head maid was a rather influential servant in Miss Du's courtyard.

"Miss Du, who is she?" Fang Qingyou suddenly remembered Miss Du who had given her an invitation yesterday.

"Du Mengfu is Shi Wantong's cousin."

“No wonder…” Fang Qingyou finally understood. No wonder Miss Du was targeting her; it turned out she was someone who stood up for Shi Wantong.

After sorting things out, Fang Qingyou shook her head helplessly and said, "It seems that Miss Shi is quite popular. Everyone is standing up for her."

"Hmph, she's nothing but a hypocritical little woman." She Yuyan sneered disdainfully.

Prior to this, She Yuyan and Shi Wantong did not have much contact, but because she knew Song Weiyan well and Song Weiyan always followed Shi Wantong's lead, her intuition told her that Shi Wantong was probably not a good person.

Now, after all these events, She Yuyan is even more certain of this.

"It seems I have to go to that Qixi Festival banquet." Fang Qingyou had previously thought that Miss Du would send her an invitation, which was just a social maneuver by these young ladies from prestigious families.

Now it seems that Miss Du has ulterior motives towards me.

Her attempt to cause trouble at the hospital failed, yet she still tries to provoke me. I wonder what tricks she's planning to use this time?

"What Qixi Festival banquet?" She Yuyan asked curiously.

Fang Qingyou found the post and handed it to She Yuyan.

She kept the post, intending to return the favor and politely decline when she had some free time.

Surprisingly, it's no longer needed now.

"This Du Mengfu is clearly up to no good." She Yuyan's almond-shaped eyes widened with anger after reading the post.

Fang Qingyou smiled and said, "If they can't do it secretly, they'll do it openly. Now that I know who's behind this, shouldn't I take some action too?"

"I'll go with you, and I'll definitely teach Du Mengfu a lesson!" She Yuyan said angrily, thinking that she would have someone find the invitation that she didn't know where it was when she got back to the mansion.

"Miss She, please calm down. We can do what we can, but we must not alert them." Fang Qingyou, the person directly involved, appeared quite calm.

For a young lady from a respectable family to be able to devise such a meticulously planned medical dispute and poison scheme, without even being traced back to her by the Jingzhao Prefecture, demonstrates just how shrewd and capable Du Mengfu is.

Compared to her, Shi Wantong is really no match.

“Okay.” She Yuyan nodded in deep agreement.

Later, Fang Qingyou and She Yuyan talked about Mrs. She's situation.

As the two were talking, Chen Zhongjie brought over a man in his thirties dressed in brocade and blue robes.

"Young lady, someone is looking for you."

Seeing that the man in blue had an unfamiliar face but a rosy complexion and was full of energy, and did not look sick at all, Fang Qingyou thought he was not here to see a doctor, so she asked, "Uncle, what can I do for you?"

The man in blue smiled first, then took out one or two taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Fang Qingyou: "Miss Fang, as we agreed, I came to see you today."

Fang Qingyou was taken aback at first, but when she realized who the man in blue was, her face immediately turned cold: "Uncle, as I said, this tael of silver is not a deposit for hiring you."

Yes, this man in blue is the same sleazy, creepy uncle who pretended to be sick and a beggar yesterday.

This was the first time She Yuyan had ever seen Fang Qingyou treat someone so coldly, so she couldn't help but ask, "Qingyou, who is he?"

Before Fang Qingyou could answer, the man in blue replied, "Miss, I am the doctor that Miss Fang wants to hire."

Fang Qingyou's expression grew even colder: "Uncle, please have some self-respect. If you continue to spout nonsense, I'll have to take you to the Jingzhao Prefecture. Also, you lied to this young lady's face. Do you know who she is? She's the daughter of General Dingyuan. If you dare to lie to her, be careful of General Dingyuan's wrath."

Upon hearing of She Ruifeng's formidable reputation, the man in blue was not intimidated at all. Instead, he looked at She Yuyan with a wronged expression and said, "So it's Miss She. I hope Miss She can help me. Look at this tael of silver. It is the deposit that Miss Fang wanted to pay me. She asked me to come here today, but now that I'm here, she has gone back on her word and is not keeping her promise."

The man in blue looked like a child who had suffered a great injustice.

She Yuyan looked at the man in blue with a strange expression, then glanced at Fang Qingyou, unsure of what to do.

She naturally believed Fang Qingyou, but the man in blue looked so pitiful that she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Upon seeing this, Fang Qingyou almost vomited blood. She had already witnessed the formidable skills of the man in blue, and today she was even more impressed.

The phrase "cunning and shrewd" perfectly describes him.

Fang Qingyou didn't want to say anything more to this strange uncle, so she said directly to Chen Zhongjie, "Brother Chen, please ask this uncle to leave."

Chen Zhongjie walked up to him, and the man in blue's eyes turned red: "Miss Fang, how could you do this to me?"

Fang Qingyou turned her head to the side and waved to Chen Zhongjie, signaling him to quickly send this strange uncle away.

Chen Zhongjie absolutely trusted Fang Qingyou and was convinced that the man in blue was no good person, so he took him away without any hesitation.

As the man in blue walked, he looked pitifully at She Yuyan and said, "Miss She, please do me justice!"

She Yuyan wanted to say something, but she held back when she saw Fang Qingyou's cold expression.

Then, the man in blue looked at Fang Qingyou and said, "Miss Fang, I will come back again."

Only after the man in blue was led away with a resentful look on his face did She Yuyan finally ask, "Qingyou, who exactly is he?"

Fang Qingyou said speechlessly, "I don't know who he is, but yesterday he deliberately disguised himself as a beggar and came to me to give him a free medical consultation. Who would have thought that he was just faking illness? After I saw through his act, he changed his story and said that he came to apply for a job as a doctor at our clinic, and even claimed to be a miracle doctor. Now, he failed to achieve his goal yesterday, and he's here again today."

Upon hearing this, She Yuyan was speechless.

This was the first time she had ever met someone so capable of such deceitful deeds.

If such a person truly harbors ulterior motives, she really wouldn't be able to guess who's behind them.
