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

Seeing the grateful and envious looks in everyone's eyes as they gazed at her, she became even more smug.

However, she quickly lost her joy, because she suddenly realized that Fang Qingyou had given her such a wonderful gift and reduced medical expenses for so many people. If she couldn't reciprocate with a decent gift, she would be truly ashamed.

She needed to reciprocate; how could she let Fang Qingyou outshine her?

But she came here today specifically to cause trouble for Fang Qingyou, and didn't bring any gifts at all.

If I really want to give her a gift, I can only choose from the jewelry she's wearing.

What should I choose that showcases my status without giving Fang Qingyou too much of an advantage?

While Fang Qingman was hesitating, Fang Qingyun took out a beautifully packaged brocade box and slipped off a pair of beautiful jade bracelets from her wrist: "Fifth Sister, this is my belated opening gift for you. I hope you can use your skillful hands and kind heart to help more people get rid of the torment of illness. This gift is too late, I hope you won't mind."

Fang Qingyun's sincere attitude made it impossible for Fang Qingyou to refuse, so she accepted all of Fang Qingyun's gifts: "Thank you, Sixth Sister. I will definitely take saving lives as my duty."

Fang Qingman's eyes twitched when she saw the pair of jade bracelets that Fang Qingyun had taken off.

If she remembered correctly, these bracelets were the most valuable thing Fang Xing'an had given to Fourth Aunt, worth several hundred taels of silver.

Fourth Aunt gave the bracelet to Fang Qingyun, hoping to elevate her status as a concubine's daughter. However, Fang Qingyun gave the bracelet to Fang Qingyou instead, under the pretense of a business opening gift!

Add to that the brocade box containing who-knows-what, and this gift is certainly no small one.

But where does Fang Qingyun's actions put her? Does that mean she'll have to give a congratulatory gift of at least a thousand taels?

Fang Qingman wasn't without things worth a thousand taels of silver, but she couldn't bear to give them to Fang Qingyou!

Unfortunately, she had nothing to replace him, and she couldn't be overshadowed by Fang Qingyun, this little illegitimate daughter.

Fang Qingyun was the first to step forward, followed by Fang Qingwei, who presented a gold-inlaid jade peony pendant to her waist.

Fang Qingman was furious, because Fang Qingwei's jade pendant was a birthday gift that Fang Xing'an had given her last year.

This jade pendant is worth at least a thousand taels of silver.

After hesitating for a long time, Fang Qingman finally took off the gold hairpin with emerald and pearl tassels from her hair and the pair of purple-gold bracelets from her wrist, and gave them to Fang Qingyou as a congratulatory gift.

This hairpin, along with a pair of purple-gold bracelets, is worth nearly two thousand taels of silver.

Both the gold hairpin and the pair of purple-gold bracelets were the most precious items she owned and her favorite pieces of jewelry.

Don't ask her why she took these three things out.

With nearly two thousand taels of silver, does she expect to take off all her other jewelry and give it away in a huge pile?

If she does that, what will others think of her?

She is the eldest daughter of the Fang family, she cannot afford to lose this status!

When Fang Qingman gave these three items to Fang Qingyou, she felt as if her heart was bleeding.

Fang Qingman initially felt she had gotten a good deal, but now, looking at the medicinal herbs Fang Qingyou had given her, they seemed incredibly shabby.

She came here today to teach Fang Qingyou a lesson, but how come she's the one who's suffering the most?

That wretched girl, she's so cunning.

"Thank you, Second Sister." Fang Qingyou was in a good mood when she saw Fang Qingman's reluctant expression, and reached out to take the three items.

Fang Qingman could no longer hide and had no choice but to grit her teeth and give them to Fang Qingyou.

The three items were already in Fang Qingyou's hands. Fang Qingman really wanted to take them back, but Fang Qingyou had already accepted them.

Fang Qingman's teeth were chattering, not from the cold, but from anger. She didn't dare to speak, afraid that if she did, she would burst into a tirade against Fang Qingyou.

She's been pretending to be so close to her sister for so long; if she loses her temper now, she'll not only lose everything, but her reputation will be ruined too.

She had no choice but to swallow this pent-up anger.

Having received so many valuable gifts, Fang Qingman had a young apprentice take her and the other two to the backyard to rest, promising to return and entertain them after she finished treating the patients.

Fang Qingyou continued to treat patients with a smile on her face.

Fang Qingman was overjoyed to have such a massive hemorrhage.

On the surface, it seemed that she was both giving Fang Qingman medicinal herbs and waiving 10% of the patient's medical expenses, but in reality, she made a fortune.

She deliberately pushed Fang Qingman to this point. Given her personality, she would naturally want to maintain her dignity as the eldest daughter of the Fang family, and thus ensure her plan succeeded.

Fang Qingyou couldn't help but wonder if Fang Qingman had suffered internal injuries from anger.

Inside the courtyard, the young apprentice prepared tea and snacks for Fang Qingman and the other two before leaving.

At this moment, only Fang Qingman and the other two remained, and the smile on her lips, which looked more like a grimace, finally crumbled.

Fang Qingman's sharp gaze swept fiercely towards Fang Qingyun: "Fang Qingyun, what did you mean just now?"

Fang Qingyun naturally knew what Fang Qingman was talking about, but she pretended not to know and said, "Second sister, do you know what you want to ask?"

"Hmph, don't play dumb with me! Do you know what I'm talking about? Why did you prepare an opening gift for Fang Qingyou? Why did you have to give such an expensive gift?" Fang Qingman sneered.

"Second Sister, you told me a few days ago that we were going to Fifth Sister's clinic, so I prepared a gift for her well in advance. I don't have anything good, but when we arrived at the clinic, Fifth Sister treated me and gave me medicine. She was so happy about our visit that she reduced the medical fees for so many people. Fifth Sister treats me with such sisterly affection. Thinking of my meager gift, I felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to lose face for the Fang family, so I added a pair of jade bracelets for Fifth Sister."

Seeing Fang Qingyun's state, Fang Qingman became even angrier: "Fang Qingyun, do you know how much your sisterly affection has hurt me? I gave Fang Qingyou my favorite hairpin and bracelet!"

His gaze was as if he wanted to devour Fang Qingyun whole.

Fang Qingyun met Fang Qingman's gaze and deliberately feigned a puzzled expression: "Second sister, I don't understand. Father and Mother often taught us that sisters should love and care for each other. Money is just an external thing. If we give it to Fifth Sister, doesn't it mean that Fifth Sister owns it just as much as we own it?"

"Pah! You little brat, shut up right now!" Fang Qingman couldn't hold back any longer and roared, swinging her right hand to slap Fang Qingyun.

Just then, a clear voice suddenly rang out: "Miss Fang, you really are here?"
