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

Fang Qingyou was unaware that she was being watched by so many people, and even less aware that Yi Lingyun, who was acting as her driver, was being frantically searched for by a group of people.

Liujia Village is more than ten miles away from Nanguan County. Normally, it would take Fang Qingyou an hour to walk there, but this time, driving the horse-drawn carriage, it only took her about twenty minutes to get back to Liujia Village.

The journey home was smooth, but the coachman, Yi Lingyun, was so eye-catching that the carriage attracted countless stares as soon as it entered the village.

Of course, the vast majority of those who gaze at them are women.

Fang Qingyou had been giving Yi Lingyun directions, and seeing these ardent gazes, she couldn't help but sigh, "If it weren't for Yi Lingyun, she wouldn't have known that the women of Liujia Village were so infatuated."

By the time the carriage arrived at the Fang family's residence, dozens of people had already followed behind it.

Yi Lingyun and Fang Qingyou got off the carriage one after the other. Looking at the crowd gathered outside the Fang family's gate, Yi Lingyun smiled and said, "Shiyu, the people in your village are so hospitable. So many people have come to see you as soon as you returned."

"Hehe—" Fang Qingyou chuckled dryly, without explaining that they had actually come to see the handsome Yi Lingyun, a treatment she never received when she returned to the village.

Just then, Madam Ren, who had heard the commotion outside, walked into the courtyard.

Upon seeing Madam Ren, Fang Qingyou quickly called out, "Mother!"

When Ren saw what appeared to be a carriage parked outside, she thought that person had finally come. But upon hearing Fang Qingyou's voice, she realized that she had been overthinking it.

A flicker of sadness crossed her eyes, and Madam Ren strode out: "You'er, is that you back?"

"Mother, boil these pomelo leaves in water for a little while, then take them out. I need to wash my hands." Fang Qingyou handed the pomelo leaves she had prepared in advance to Madam Ren, while constantly giving her meaningful glances, implying that she should stop calling her "You'er".

As a result, Ren failed to understand Fang Qingyou's hint, but instead noticed Yi Lingyun standing to the side.

"You'er, who is this?"

Before Fang Qingyou could speak, Yi Lingyun introduced herself: "Auntie, hello, I am Shiyu's friend, Yi Lingyun."

"Shiyu?" Ren was puzzled, not understanding who Yi Lingyun was referring to.

Seeing this, Fang Qingyou's eyes flickered slightly, and she quickly pushed Ren Shi towards the courtyard: "Mother, please go and boil some pomelo leaf water for me, I'm waiting to use it."

Yi Lingyun was still somewhat unsatisfied; he hadn't even exchanged a few words with the Ren family yet.

Fang Qingyou quickly tried to divert Yi Lingyun's attention: "Young Master Yi, you should rest for a while. I'll go and invite two people over."

"Why hire someone?" Yi Lingyun finally turned her gaze away from Ren Shi, looking puzzled.

Fang Qingyou pointed to the mountain of goods piled up on the carriage: "Moving goods!"

"I'll help you carry it," Yi Lingyun said, and took a few steps forward to lift the top bag of flour.

Fang Qingyou quickly stopped him: "Young Master Yi, you don't need to carry these things. They're too heavy. I'll find two people in the village to carry them."

Fang Qingyou knew that unloading these goods would be easy for Yi Lingyun, but she didn't want him to stay at her house for too long. She knew that the longer he stayed, the easier it would be for her fake identity to be exposed.

"Shiyu, you can't move it, but I can move it very easily." With that, Yi Lingyun lifted the bag of flour onto her shoulder, looking as if she were carrying a feather without any effort.

Fang Qingyou felt resentful after being rejected again, until she saw Yi Lingyun's clothes and her eyes lit up: "Young Master Yi, don't move them, you'll get your new clothes dirty."

Yi Lingyun smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay, we'll wash it again if it gets dirty."

Before he finished speaking, the bag of flour was unloaded from the carriage.

Fang Qingyou realized she couldn't stop Yi Lingyun, so she brought up the matter of the South Gate again: "Young Master Yi, it's getting late. Why don't you go to the South Gate now? It will be difficult to travel if it gets dark. If it gets any later, the South Gate might close, and you won't be able to enter Yunjing City."

"It's alright." Yi Lingyun smiled and turned to unload the remaining goods from the carriage.

Fang Qingyou: "..."

Yi Lingyun was really strong. Before Ren Shi could even finish boiling the pomelo leaf water, he had already unloaded all the goods from the carriage.

This scene left the women of Liujia Village speechless, their cheeks flushed and their eyes sparkling with spring. They all stood at the Fang family's door, unwilling to leave.

At this moment, Madam Ren came out carrying a basin of pomelo leaf water: "You'er, the pomelo leaf water you requested is ready."

Seeing this, Fang Qingyou quickly ran over, took the basin from Ren Shi's hands, and placed it in front of Yi Lingyun: "Young Master Yi, you can wash first."

Yi Lingyun remembered Fang Qingyou mentioning washing her hands with pomelo leaf water, so she washed her hands very carefully.

Fang Qingyou was about to wash her hands, but before she could put them in the basin, she heard Yi Lingyun's voice: "Auntie, where should we put these things?"

Fang Qingyou turned her head and saw Yi Lingyun carrying a bag of flour into her yard.

Fang Qingyou's expression changed drastically, and she thought she had to stop him quickly.

As soon as Fang Qingyou finished washing her hands, she was surrounded by a group of women who rushed up to her: "Are you that skinny girl from the Fang family? Why are you dressed like this? I didn't recognize you at first, I thought it was someone else!"

"Yes, yes, she seems to be that girl named Fang Qingyou?"

"Fang Qingyou, who is that man moving things? Is he a relative of yours?"

"Hey, Fang Qingyou, what's his name? What does he do?"

Fang Qingyou felt as if she were being overwhelmed, seeing only rows of red lips opening and closing...

"Ladies, I'm sorry, I'm busy. Let's chat another day, another day!" Fang Qingyou finally managed to squeeze out of a group of women and rushed into her own yard.

Fang Qingyou had just escaped when she saw Ren Shi and Yi Lingyun come out of the kitchen together: "You'er, you silly girl, you don't even introduce your friends when they come to your house."

Fang Qingyou: "..."

When Fang Qingyou noticed that Yi Lingyun's gaze on her had changed, she knew that her identity had most likely been exposed.

However, Yi Lingyun said nothing and simply continued moving the goods outside the door.

"You'er, go help Lingyun, Mother is going to cook for you."

"Oh... Ah? Mother, what did you say?" Fang Qingyou felt that the "you" that Madam Ren mentioned seemed to refer to more than just her and Fang Runting.

Madam Ren gave Fang Qingyou a reproachful look: "Foolish girl."

"..." Fang Qingyou felt like she had guessed correctly.

After Ren turned and left, Fang Qingyou had no choice but to walk out. Just then, Yi Lingyun walked towards her carrying a bag of rice.

"Young Master Yi, you..."

"I won't blame you. Even if you weren't Shiyu but Xiaoyou, you'd still be my friend, Yi Lingyun's friend!"

Fang Qingyou: "..."

She hasn't even apologized yet, and she's already been forgiven? Waaah, this innocent girl, Yi Lingyun, makes her feel so guilty…
