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

"That's good. I don't know how this matchmaker Zhang does her job. All she thinks about is marrying off other people's daughters. Her own sister-in-law is almost forty and still not married, but she doesn't seem to care at all!"

Ren's eyes flickered, containing a hint of embarrassment and evasion.

Fang Qingyou felt sorry for her and couldn't bear to say anything more. After this test, she was quite certain that the bad woman who hit the Ren family was Liu Erya.

After helping Ren Shi tidy up the woodshed, Fang Qingyou went out again.

Before leaving, seeing Yi Lingyun still standing outside, Fang Qingyou couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Yi, is there something you need?"

Instead of answering Fang Qingyou, Yi Lingyun asked, "Qingyou, are you going out again?"

Fang Qingyou nodded, and Yi Lingyun felt nervous: "Where are you going? I'll go with you."

"No need, I'm not going anywhere far, I'll stay in the village." Fang Qingyou said, turning and leaving. It wouldn't be convenient for her to do something with Yi Lingyun around.

Yi Lingyun watched Fang Qingyou's retreating figure, his sword-like eyebrows slightly furrowed. He wondered if these people would harm Fang Qingyou once she was out of his sight, and at the same time, he worried that if he continued to follow and protect her, Ren Shi and Fang Runting might be in danger.

Fang Qingyou, unaware of Yi Lingyun's worries, arrived at the home of the wine connoisseur.

Wine Beauty is the owner of the village's winery. She is known as Wine Beauty because of her beauty. She also has another "identity"—she is the village's know-it-all. There is nothing about anyone's family that she doesn't know.

When Fang Qingyou arrived at the winery, the Wine Beauty and her family had just finished dinner.

"Oh, you're that girl from the Fang family?" Fang Qingyou heard a melodious and sweet female voice before she even saw the person.

Immediately afterwards, a woman with a charming demeanor appeared before them.

This was Fang Qingyou's first time dealing with the "Wine Beauty," and she couldn't help but admire how well-deserved her reputation was.

Although Xi Shi is over thirty, her face is full of collagen, with snow-white skin and red lips, as delicate as a young girl, and her figure is exquisite and charming.

Fang Qingyou was even more surprised that such a great beauty would settle down in a place like Liujia Village.

However, Fang Qingyou did not forget her purpose: "I'm here to buy wine, and I want your best wine."

The wine seller was a little surprised, but quickly understood: "Oh, you want wine to entertain your handsome guest, right?"

Fang Qingyou nodded; she intended to use Yi Lingyun to conceal her true purpose.

"Come with me." Jiu Xishi beckoned to Fang Qingyou, her arms as supple as willow branches, and her gait was graceful and elegant.

Fang Qingyou silently complained in her heart, if she were a man, she would probably have a nosebleed by now.

"I never realized you were such a clever girl. Even Matchmaker Zhang fell for you. Now you've made friends with someone from a good family. Your family is probably going to have some good fortune from now on." As she poured wine, Jiu Xishi looked at Fang Qingyou with a look of curiosity in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Fang Qingyou knew that the Wine Beauty must be well aware of her escape from Zhang the Matchmaker yesterday.

The wine beauty was very curious about her, and coincidentally, she also wanted to know something from the wine beauty, so Fang Qingyou took the opportunity to say, "I just happened to find a way to protect myself. Zhang the matchmaker is so powerful, luckily she didn't cause any more trouble in the end, otherwise I really don't know how to deal with her."

"Matchmaker Zhang is indeed difficult to deal with, but there are people in Liu Family Village that she fears."

"Who is it?" Fang Qingyou pretended not to know.

"Her sister-in-law, Liu Erya."

Fang Qingyou asked with a look of disbelief, "Is it true? Is Liu Erya really that amazing?"

Wine Beauty raised an eyebrow: "How could news coming from me, Wine Beauty, be false? Liu Erya is shrewish and ruthless..."

After leaving the wine seller's house, Fang Qingyou carried a jar of wine to the Liu family's house.

After Fang Qingyou left, the charming smile on Jiu Xishi's face vanished instantly, replaced by deep worry.

The Liu family is a large-scale producer and seller of vegetables and grains. Fang Qingyou ostensibly went to buy vegetables, but actually wanted to use the Liu family's wife to let some people know certain things.

When Fang Qingyou left Liu's house, she not only ordered some seasonal vegetables, but also a year's worth of grain.

Fang Qingyou was very happy despite spending several taels of silver in such a short time, because she had a feeling that someone would soon take care of Liu Erya for her.

When Fang Qingyou returned home, it was already dark, but Yi Lingyun was still standing outside the door.

"Young Master Yi, is something the matter? Please speak plainly." Fang Qingyou sensed that something was off with Yi Lingyun; why was he standing outside and not going in?

"I'm worried about you going out so late."

Hearing such sweet words spoken so earnestly by Yi Lingyun, Fang Qingyou didn't know how to react. After a long pause, she finally managed to say, "Alright, now that I'm back, let's go in together. If my mother sees you like this, she'll definitely say I'm neglecting you."

Yi Lingyun smiled and took the wine jar from Fang Qingyou's hand: "Xiaoyou, let me do it."

Fang Qingyou didn't stand on ceremony with him. After carrying the wine jar for so long, she felt like her arms were about to break.

As Yi Lingyun turned to leave, he glanced back at the darkness behind him. Just now, he had sensed someone leaving the Fang family, but there were still people hiding outside.

When they got home, Ren was packing things in Fang Qingyou's room.

Fang Qingyou wanted to treat Fang Runting's injuries, so she sent Yi Lingyun away: "Young Master Yi, you've been busy all day, go and rest."

Yi Lingyun didn't leave, but looked at Fang Qingyou and asked, "Qingyou, will you go out again?"

"No, I'm going to check on my brother, and then I'm going to go to sleep."

"I'll come with you."

Fang Qingyou quickly shook her head: "If you really want to help, then go help my mother pack her things."

"Alright, then I'll go help Aunt Ren." Yi Lingyun had no choice but to leave, thinking that since it was so close, even if Fang Qingyou really had something to do, he could come over immediately.

Fang Qingyou breathed a sigh of relief, washed her hands, and went into Fang Runting's room.

With the oil lamp burning brightly, Fang Qingyou first needled Fang Runting's sleeping acupoint, then performed acupuncture on him, and finally applied medicine to his wounds.

Looking at his still pale face, she couldn't help but sigh: "Brother, I don't know who you offended to suffer such a torment."

That night, Fang Qingyou, exhausted from a long day, gradually drifted off to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Fang Qingyou was awakened by a sharp pain in her left forearm, the same pain as the night before.

Fang Qingyou frowned slightly. What was wrong with her? She was in pain completely out of the blue, and no problems could be found in her body.

As she was pondering, Fang Qingyou faintly heard some noises outside, and her expression immediately changed.

Oh no, could someone have broken into her house in the middle of the night to steal her carriage?
