This uninvited guest was dressed like a drunken swordsman, with a long sword on his back and a gourd of wine hanging at his waist.

Fang Qingyou was genuinely amazed when she first saw this unexpected guest.

Deep down, she harbored a dream of being a chivalrous woman, and this swordsman's dashing and unrestrained nature perfectly matched her aesthetic.

For a moment, Fang Qingyou almost thought the swordsman would pat her on the shoulder and say that classic first encounter dialogue: "Young lady, I see that you are exceptionally talented and have extraordinary physique. You must be a martial arts prodigy, one in a hundred years. I cherish your talent and would like to take you as my disciple and pass on all my knowledge to you. Are you willing?"

However, the imagined scenario did not occur.

Fang Qingyou saw the swordsman pull out a tael of silver from his sleeve, then look at her with a grin and say, "Miss Fang, you should have made up your mind by now, right? With my superb medical skills, countless people in the world would like to hire me, but I've refused to go. So, how about it, you should nod your head now?"

For a moment, Fang Qingyou really felt an urge to spit out a mouthful of blood several feet away.

The image of the Drunken Sword Immortal instantly collapsed in her mind, replaced by a disheveled old man.

She had actually thought she had encountered a carefree swordsman, but it turned out to be that strange uncle.

However, Fang Qingyou still had one question in her mind.

He met this strange uncle three times, and each time the uncle appeared in a different guise, with completely different faces.

Who exactly is he, and what is his identity?

Fang Qingyou was certain that this strange uncle had disguised himself, and his disguise skills seemed to be quite good.

Having met him at least three times, she would never have guessed that all three figures were him if the strange uncle hadn't revealed his identity.

"Uncle, my clinic is too small. You should find another place." Fang Qingyou turned her head away from the strange uncle and quickly gave Chen Zhongjie a look, signaling him to drag the man out.

As always, this strange uncle would leave behind a sentence each time he left.

I will come back.

Fang Qingyou had thought the strange uncle was just saying that when she first heard it, but now she couldn't help but frown.

Because next time, this weirdo might actually come.

This weirdo is really terrifying. If he really was sent by someone to harm her, then it must have been really tough for that person to find such a weirdo.

Fang Qingyou decided that this time she had to report it to the authorities.

Given the capabilities of the Jingzhao Prefecture, they might not be able to uncover the identity of this strange uncle, but at least they could deter him, right?

With that in mind, Fang Qingyou decided that after attending Du Mengfu's Qixi Festival banquet the next day, she would go to the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Qixi Festival is here in the blink of an eye.

That day, Fang Qingyou got up very early and went to give the mysterious lady acupuncture first. Afterwards, she went to Qingwu Tower to give Gu Yuxin another treatment.

Gu Yuxin noticed that Fang Qingyou had dressed up deliberately today, wearing a light green dress covered with a layer of pink gauze. It was simple and elegant, generous and refined, making her look like a lotus in summer. With a little makeup, she looked even more fresh and lively.

Seeing that Fang Qingyou's appearance was somewhat different from her usual simple and carefree style, Gu Yuxin couldn't help but ask, "Miss Fang, are you going to keep an appointment?"

Fang Qingyou nodded: "Yes, a Miss Du invited me to the Qixi Festival banquet. After leaving Miss Gu's place, I was about to set off."

“Miss Du…” Gu Yuxin murmured, then after searching her memory, she remembered someone and her expression changed slightly: “Miss Fang, is the Miss Du you’re talking about the Miss Du from the family of the Ministry of Revenue official?”

Fang Qingyou nodded again: "Yes."

In her heart, Fang Qingyou admired Gu Yuxin very much. This was the eldest daughter of the first family. She had a vivid relationship diagram in her mind and could search for information about a person in a minute.

You can tell a person's identity and status just by their title.

Gu Yuxin's expression changed again: "Does Miss Fang and Miss Du have some connection?"

Fang Qingyou shook her head: "I don't have much of a relationship with Miss Du, but she gave me an invitation, so I went."

Seeing Fang Qingyou's nonchalant and unguarded demeanor, Gu Yuxin frowned slightly and said, "Miss Fang, would you like me to accompany you to the appointment?"

Fang Qingyou was taken aback at first, then quickly shook her head: "No need, Miss Gu, you can go and do your own thing."

For someone of Gu Yuxin's status to attend Du Mengfu's Qixi Festival banquet would be far beneath her dignity.

It has nothing to do with Du Mengfu's identity; it's purely because of her character.

“Miss Fang…” Gu Yuxin was about to persuade Fang Qingyou again when she saw her wink at her playfully, her bright black eyes sparkling with wit.

Gu Yuxin suddenly laughed. She had been overthinking it. With Fang Qingyou's intelligence, how could she not know that Du Mengfu had ulterior motives?

Since Fang Qingyou is so confident, she must already have a plan in mind.

After leaving Qingwu Tower, Fang Qingyou went to the Du residence as promised.

Although she had made an appointment with She Yuyan, Fang Qingyou did not go with her.

If Du Mengfu knew that She Yuyan would also be attending her banquet, she would probably be wary of them.

"Du Mengfu, Du Mengfu..." Fang Qingyou murmured Du Mengfu's name in the carriage, but suddenly uttered a homonym that almost made her burst out laughing.

Poisonous wasps.

Wow, this Miss Du seems quite remarkable; otherwise, she wouldn't have such an impressive name.

When Fang Qingyou arrived outside the Du residence, several carriages had just stopped outside.

These carriages all belonged to official residences, making Fang Qingyou's carriage seem much more shabby in comparison.

Furthermore, Fang Qingyou's coachman was Liu Tiewa, a rough and uncouth man, and she had no maidservants to serve her at all times, which made the young ladies of the officials look at her with even more disdain.

It seemed she couldn't understand how she managed to get the chance to attend the Du family's banquet.

Fang Qingyou completely ignored these stares; did they really think she cared about the Du family?

These gazes made Liu Tiewa very nervous. Looking at Fang Qingyou's lonely figure, he couldn't help but say, "Qingyou, these daughters of officials seem quite formidable. You must be careful. Since I can't go in, next time I'll have your aunt come with you. At least she can look after you."

Fang Qingyou thought to herself, dealing with these young ladies of officialdom isn't just about having more people; besides, with Cuihua's cunning, how could she possibly handle these highly skilled masters of palace intrigue?

However, Fang Qingyou would not discourage Liu Tiewa's good intentions.

"Uncle, don't worry, I'll be fine." Fang Qingyou waved to Liu Tiewa and then walked towards the Du residence.
