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

However, not wanting the Ren family to hear these things, she decided to wait for Yi Lingyun outside.

When Fang Qingyou went outside, she found that the group of women were still standing at her door, craning their necks like geese to look into her house.

"Ladies, have you made dinner yet? It's so late, your dads, husbands, and brothers should be home soon, right?"

Fang Qingyou asked with concern, but the women's expressions changed instantly.

Those married women took off running home, each one as fast as a rabbit. Yes, if their husbands found out they were peeping at other men, they'd probably get a beating.

The young women, blushing with embarrassment, hurried back. They were all still unmarried, and if others said they were thinking about men, how would they ever get married?

In an instant, all the women had left, and Fang Qingyou finally felt that there was peace and quiet in front of her.

These women didn't think much of it normally, but they were surprised to see how fierce Yi Lingyun was; even she was a little frightened.

Just then, Yi Lingyun came out.

Hearing Yi Lingyun's footsteps, Fang Qingyou turned around sheepishly: "Young Master Yi, I'm sorry, I lied to you. My name isn't actually Fang Shiyu, but Fang Qingyou."

Yi Lingyun smiled and said, "Xiao You, I told you I don't blame you. I understand you, and I think you did the right thing. It's not easy for a girl like you to be out there, so of course you need to use some means to protect yourself."

Looking into Yi Lingyun's pure and sincere eyes, Fang Qingyou felt even more guilty.

"It's all my fault for being so stupid. I should have been able to tell you were a girl back then, but..." Yi Lingyun sighed somewhat dejectedly and continued to move the goods.

Fang Qingyou: "..."

Fang Qingyou became depressed. Her female characteristics were indeed not very obvious. Not to mention that Yi Lingyun did not realize that she was a woman, even when she first saw her own appearance, which was neither fair nor beautiful and had nothing, she almost thought she was a man.

Yi Lingyun carried a bag over and saw Fang Qingyou standing there in a daze, so she smiled and patted her shoulder: "Alright, Xiaoyou, don't feel bad anymore. I'll carry these things, you go and rest."

Fang Qingyou was initially filled with self-reproach, but Yi Lingyun's slap made her wince in pain: "Young Master Yi, could you please be a little gentler when you slap me? My shoulder is about to break!"

"Ah! Xiaoyou, are you alright? I'm sorry, I forgot. Next time, I'll definitely be gentler next time." Yi Lingyun immediately became nervous. Because he had practiced martial arts for many years, he was much stronger than the average man. And because he rarely interacted with women, he was a little unsure of the force he should use when patting her shoulder. Thinking that Fang Qingyou's body was very fragile, he was really afraid that he would hurt her.

Yi Lingyun's handsome face was filled with tension, and his dark eyes were full of worry. Fang Qingyou couldn't blame him at all, and even felt an urge to comfort him. So, while rubbing her shoulder, she said, "I'm fine, just remember not to use so much force next time!"

"There won't be a next time." Seeing that Fang Qingyou was alright, Yi Lingyun was relieved.

"Young Master Yi, then I'll leave these things to you. I'll go back and pack them up first." Since her identity had already been exposed, there was no point in urging Yi Lingyun to leave, so Fang Qingyou simply stopped being polite with him.

"Okay, Xiaoyou, go ahead." Yi Lingyun nodded with a smile and continued walking into the courtyard.

"Okay." Fang Qingyou said as she walked towards the kitchen. She was going to get water to take a shower. She had an unwavering habit of taking a shower every time she finished seeing a patient.

Since this is another autopsy, it needs to be washed even more thoroughly.

Fang Qingyou had only taken a few steps when she saw Yi Lingyun suddenly turn around, her clear black eyes filled with doubt: "Qingyou, where are the people from your village? Weren't they here to see you? Why did they leave so soon?"

Fang Qingyou was taken aback. Yi Lingyun was such an innocent child that she couldn't bear to tell him the truth.

"They went home to cook."

"Oh." Yi Lingyun nodded, then turned around and continued walking.

Fang Qingyou, standing behind her, couldn't help but remark that Yi Lingyun's appearance was just too adorable to resist.

While Mrs. Ren was busy in the kitchen, she saw Fang Qingyou come in and asked, "You'er, why didn't you help Ling Yun?"

“He’s very strong. He moved all those things in no time. I didn’t need to help him.”

"Silly girl, Ling Yun is still a guest..."

Before Madam Ren could finish speaking, Fang Qingyou's face fell, her eyes filled with grievance: "Waaah, Mother, are you still my mother? Why do you love others so much but not me..."

Seeing this, Madam Ren hurriedly came over to explain, "You'er, it's not that I'm being disrespectful. I just feel we can't neglect our guests. You'er..."

Madam Ren was about to comfort Fang Qingyou, but before she even reached her, she saw Fang Qingyou suddenly raise her head and smile smugly: "Hehe, Mother, I didn't cry, I just wanted to scare you!"

Mrs. Ren was both amused and exasperated, and could only gently tap her head: "You little rascal!"

"Mother, is there still any pomelo leaf water? I want to take a bath."

"Yes, Mother will prepare water for you right away." While scooping water, Madam Ren took the opportunity to ask the question that had been bothering her: "You'er, did Ling Yun give you all these things? He's quite generous."

"Mom," Fang Qingyou pouted, "I bought these things myself, with money I earned!"

Mrs. Ren was stunned: "You'er, you..."

When Ren saw that Yi Lingyun was dressed in luxurious clothes and had an extraordinary temperament, and that he was very loyal, she assumed that he was helping her family and never thought that Fang Qingyou had bought these things.

"These things look like a lot; they must have cost a fortune..."

"Mother, I'll tell you about these things later. Right now, I need to take a bath and eat as soon as possible; I'm starving. By the way, Mother, has brother woken up today?"

Upon hearing Fang Qingyou say she was hungry, Madam Ren's hands moved even faster: "Ting'er woke up once this afternoon, but fell asleep again shortly after..."

……

Inside Yunjing City, a group of martial arts practitioners gathered in the best room of an inn.

Leading the group was a spirited, white-haired old man, though he seemed to be suppressing his anger.

A young man in green knelt before the old man, his head bowed to the ground: "Elder Xing, I'm sorry, it was my fault for not taking good care of the young master, which led to his disappearance. Please punish me!"

The old man's face grew even more somber, but he remained silent, which made the gray-clad man, who looked to be about thirty years old, even more anxious: "Elder Xing, where do you think the young master will go?"
