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

"Miss, do you have an invitation?"

The head servant looked down at Fang Qingyou with an arrogant expression, as if she were a beggar who had come to beg for alms.

Fang Qingyou noticed that the previous young ladies of official families had been invited into the Du residence without showing any invitations, but when it came to her, she was the one who was asked to show her invitation.

This is probably the first level that Du Mengfu set up, right?

Yes, Fang Qingyou guessed right. These servants were acting on the orders of the Du family steward to deliberately make things difficult for her.

Fang Qingyou was naturally furious, but on the surface, she remained calm and handed the invitation to the head servant.

The head servant took the invitation, examining its contents while scrutinizing Fang Qingyou with suspicion in his eyes: "Are you Miss Fang Wu?"

Fang Qingyou replied calmly, "I prefer to be called Miss Fang."

The head servant seemed not to understand the meaning behind Fang Qingyou's words and frowned impatiently: "So are you or not Miss Fang Wu? Is this invitation yours? If you are Miss Fang Wu, then the young ladies of the Fang family have already come. Why didn't you come with them? If you are not Miss Fang Wu, then where did this invitation come from?"

His words and expression practically screamed that Fang Qingyou had stolen the invitation.

In just a short while, many young ladies who were about to enter the mansion for the banquet stopped and stood not far away watching this scene.

Many people looked at Fang Qingyou with disdain, wondering which poor girl had forged an invitation to attend the Du family's banquet, only to be caught red-handed.

Instead of answering the head servant, Fang Qingyou asked in return, "Have you met Miss Fang Wu before?"

The head servant shook his head.

"Does Miss Fang need to report her whereabouts to you? Also, does she need to consult you before she can do anything?"

"I wouldn't dare." The head servant shook his head again. Miss Fang was a daughter of an official, and he, a mere servant, was not allowed to point fingers at her.

He dared not wear that big hat.

Fang Qingyou, who had been calm, now revealed a hint of coldness on her face: "Hmph, if you dare not, then why do you dare to interrogate me so vehemently? Is it because the Du family is so prestigious that they disdain our visits? Or is it because the Du family master did not teach you the proper way to treat guests? Or is it because Miss Du has so little influence in the household that even her personally signed and stamped invitations are doubted by the servants, and the guests she invited are turned away?"

Upon hearing this, several young ladies who were visiting the Du residence for the first time frowned.

If that's the case, then not only will they fail to achieve their social goals today, they might even humiliate themselves.

Those young ladies who knew Du Mengfu were filled with doubt. Could it be that the invitation in the hand of this simply dressed girl was real, and that she really was Miss Fang Wu?

Women from ordinary families wouldn't have such an imposing aura.

Hearing these words, cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the leading servant.

These words were absolutely piercing.

It's said that the Du family is too arrogant and doesn't even respect the Fang family.

It was also said that the Du family was not strict in their management, which led to their servants being ignorant of etiquette and arrogant.

This is yet another sarcastic remark about Miss Du's lack of status in the Du family, which is why her guests are subjected to such scrutiny and even turned away at the door.

He couldn't bear any of this responsibility if it fell on the head servant.

Just then, Fang Qingyou's expression grew even colder: "I came here sincerely to keep the appointment, but I didn't expect to be suspected of having a fake invitation. The invitation is now in my hands. Please prepare some pen and ink for me so I can reply and tell Miss Du that the Du family's threshold is too high for me to reach. I also hope you can tell Miss Du that if she has no intention of inviting me, please don't send me another invitation next time, so that I won't suffer such humiliation for nothing."

As she spoke, Fang Qingyou reached out to the head servant and asked for pen and ink.

These words directly point to Du Mengfu's sincerity in inviting people to the banquet.

The head servant was already sweating profusely, and hurriedly bowed and scraped to Fang Qingyou, apologizing repeatedly: "Miss Fang, my lady sincerely invited you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I was blind before and didn't recognize you. Please forgive me, my lord."

The order the head servant received was to embarrass Fang Qingyou in public first, and then invite her into the Du residence. If she left, how would he explain it to the steward?

Although it now seems embarrassing for him, the Du family, and Du Mengfu.

Fang Qingyou snorted coldly and pressed, "What, now you don't suspect my invitation is fake?"

"Of course it's true. I must have been blind to stop you. It's all my fault. I apologize and hope Miss Fang will forgive me. Miss Fang, it's hot outside. Please come inside and rest."

Only then did Fang Qingyou give the head servant a cold look before walking calmly into the Du residence.

Behind him, the head servant took a deep breath and realized that in just a short time, he was drenched in cold sweat.

Although things were messed up, it's better than messing everything up.

Although this scene came to an end, it greatly reduced the goodwill that the young ladies who were meeting Du Mengfu for the first time had towards the Du family.

If they hadn't already arrived at the Du residence, they might as well not have come to the banquet.

Even the few young ladies who knew Du Mengfu felt that the Du family had gone too far. Although this Fifth Miss Fang's clothes were not luxurious, she was still an official's daughter, yet she was treated like this by the servants!

Would they be turned away if they hadn't dressed up for the occasion?

Leading her into the Du residence, Fang Qingyou finally met Du Mengfu in the garden where the banquet was being held.

Du Mengfu was dressed in bright colors, had a beautiful face, and a seductive figure. In terms of appearance alone, she was definitely a top-class beauty, but at such a young age, she already had a bewitching aura about her.

It wasn't that Du Mengfu was really a monster, but rather that her smooth and sophisticated manner made her seem overly mature, which was really inconsistent with her age.

When she looked at people with her watery, alluring eyes, it seemed as if she were bewitching them.

She looked exactly like a modern-day enchantress to whom countless men fall at her feet.

Of course, this act of bowing down really only involved kneeling at her feet.

"This must be Miss Fang Wu. I've been waiting for you! Please come in." Du Mengfu said with a beaming smile. Her demeanor and charm made it hard to believe she was a fourteen-year-old girl.

Her friendly demeanor made it seem as if she and Fang Qingyou were close friends.

When Fang Qingyou met Du Mengfu, she felt that Du Mengfu was not like a daughter of an official family at all, but rather resembled a top courtesan from a certain brothel, exuding a vulgarity that made people very uncomfortable.
