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

"Fifth Sister, are you alright?" Fang Qingman's almost shouting voice interrupted Fang Qingyou and Gu Jinyi's time alone, and also pulled Fang Qingyou's thoughts back to reality.

Upon seeing Fang Qingman, Fang Qingyou's temporarily forgotten memories returned.

"I'm fine." Fang Qingyou smiled, her pale face showing relief at surviving the ordeal, seemingly unaware that it was all a conspiracy.

Of course she had something to do; she hadn't dealt with those vicious women yet!

"It's good that you're alright." Fang Qingman patted her chest as if she was still shaken, and then said to Fang Qingyou, "Fifth Sister, you can no longer participate in the boat race. Let me take you to explain to Princess Neon."

Actually, Fang Qingman was still wondering: Was Fang Qingyou not afraid of those water snakes, or did she not encounter any water snakes when she fell into the water?

Logically, this shouldn't have happened; she had applied a very heavy amount of snake-attracting powder to Fang Qingrong's body.

However, Fang Qingman did not delve any further into the matter, deciding to wait until she met Princess Neon.

"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Second Sister." Fang Qingyou smiled slightly, subtly concealing the coldness in her eyes.

She was just thinking about how to find Qin Nihong when Fang Qingman presented her with the opportunity.

Seeing Fang Qingman's joyful expression, a mischievous glint flashed in Fang Qingyou's eyes. She pointed to the river, implying to Fang Qingman that Fang Qingyun and Fang Qingrong were still soaking in the water.

Fang Qingman was wondering what Fang Qingyou was up to when she looked over and her face darkened. She had been so obviously happy that she had forgotten about these two troublesome people.

Seeing Fang Qingman's unpleasant expression, Fang Qingyou felt a sense of satisfaction and kindly reminded her, "Second sister, you should rescue third sister and sixth sister first."

Fang Qingman's face darkened further; Fang Qingyou's actions showed that she didn't care about her sister's life or death at all.

Although this was her true feeling, she certainly didn't want anyone to see it, and unfortunately, Gu Jinyi witnessed this scene.

Thinking of this, Fang Qingman really hated Fang Qingyou to the core.

That wretched girl is truly hateful!

However, when Fang Qingman thought about Qin Nihong's subsequent arrangements, a vicious glint flashed in her eyes.

Hmph, you little brat, just you wait and see how you die today.

With a sullen face, Fang Qingman, along with Fang Qingwei and Miss Zhang, pulled Fang Qingyun and Fang Qingrong from the water onto the small boat.

While Fang Qingman and the other two were doing hard labor, Fang Qingyou was drinking the ginger tea that Gu Jinyi had given her.

It felt warm, warming me from my mouth all the way to my heart.

Fang Qingyou felt as if her clothes, which were originally soaked, had become warm.

While Fang Qingyou was drinking ginger tea, Gu Jinyi's gaze remained gently fixed on her, not wanting her to notice or disturb her.

"Young Master Gu, thank you." Fang Qingyou returned the empty teacup to Gu Jinyi, her heart filled with warmth.

"You're welcome." Gu Jinyi smiled gently, took the teacup, and said in a soft and warm voice, "Miss Fang, you caught a chill after falling into the water. You should drink more ginger tea to warm yourself up."

As he spoke, Gu Jinyi poured Fang Qingyou another cup of ginger tea and handed it to her with a smile.

"Mmm." Fang Qingyou smiled dreamily, picked up the teacup, and savored the warmth.

Just then, a sudden voice rang out: "Fifth Sister, come here, I'll take you to see Princess Neon right now."

This person was none other than Fang Qingman.

Fang Qingyou turned her head and glared angrily at Fang Qingman.

Fang Qingman is so tactless, interrupting her and Gu Jinyi's time together time and time again. She's really annoying!

Although Gu Jinyi was smiling, a fleeting look of disgust flashed across his eyes.

He could calmly face Fang Qingman's ruthlessness, but he couldn't tolerate her bossy attitude towards Fang Qingyou.

Fang Qingman was unaware of Gu Jinyi's disgust for her. Seeing him smiling at her, she was so smug that she forgot who she was.

Fang Qingman, thinking herself incredibly shy, bowed to Gu Jinyi: "Young Master Gu, thank you for saving my fifth sister. Now I'm taking her to see Princess Neon. I'll thank you again another day."

As she spoke, Fang Qingman extended her hand to Fang Qingyou with a friendly expression, wanting to help her off Gu Jinyi's boat.

But Gu Jinyi smiled gently at her and said, "It was nothing, nothing to mention. Since Miss Fang is going to see Princess Neon, then I will take her there."

After speaking, Gu Jinyi cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Fang Qingman and then withdrew his gaze.

Even after Gu Jinyi's boat had left, Fang Qingman was still smiling infatuatedly. She felt that Gu Jinyi cared about her a lot; out of so many people, he only spoke to her and only smiled at her.

However, Fang Qingman did not realize that Gu Jinyi had not mentioned her, the Second Miss Fang, at all from beginning to end.

When they left, they didn't even glance at her.

On the small boat, Miss Zhang and Fang Qingyun looked on with envy, their eyes following the wooden boat.

That's the young master Gu, the object of countless women's affections!

They felt incredibly fortunate to even catch a glimpse of him.

Fang Qingwei, however, felt that her heart was bleeding drop by drop.

In their brief encounter, Gu Jinyi didn't even notice her; his gaze remained fixed on Fang Qingyou the entire time.

For so many years, she has studied poetry and lyrics day and night, all in order to get closer to him.

She didn't ask to stand by his side, she only hoped that one day he would look back at her.

This had always been Fang Qingwei's hope, and she had always felt that it was very promising.

At least, there were never any other women around Gu Jinyi, and his gaze never lingered on any other woman.

But all of this was suddenly shattered by one person.

This person is Fang Qingyou.

There were rumors that Gu Jinyi and Fang Qingyou were friends, and some people said that Shi Wantong targeted Fang Qingyou because of Gu Jinyi.

These rumors had troubled Fang Qingwei, but she didn't believe them.

She couldn't believe that someone like Gu Jinyi could fall for a woman like Fang Qingyou.

But now, everything she has seen with her own eyes has proven this point.

Gu Jinyi's smile was always gentle, and he treated everyone the same way. But his gaze only showed a hint of tenderness that was imperceptible to ordinary people when he looked at Fang Qingyou.

This touch of tenderness was enough for her to be willing to give everything.

However, no matter how much she loved him, this tenderness never belonged to her.

Fang Qingwei's face was deathly pale, her eyes were filled with gloom, and her scholarly air had turned into an aura of despair.

It's like a scroll of poetry filled with words suddenly falling into a swamp full of mud.

Suddenly, she seemed to have become a different person.
