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

When Fang Qingyou returned home, she found that Fang Xing'an had already arrived with a large group of people.

The group waited outside the Fang family's residence but dared not enter the courtyard rashly, all because Elder Xing was guarding the Fang family's residence.

That grumpy old man is not easy to deal with.

What was Fang Xing'an's job? He came to pick up Madam Ren and Fang Runting to stay at the Fang residence.

Fang Qingyou was both angry and helpless.

What's infuriating is that Fang Xing'an, that old scumbag, is so shameless. In order to control himself, he actually wants to keep Ren Shi and Fang Runtin by his side.

Unfortunately, if she wasn't there, the Fang residence would undoubtedly be the safest place for the Ren family.

She couldn't rest easy whenever she thought about the assassin she had encountered a few days ago.

The Fang family mansion is located in the capital city, and Fang Xing'an is a second-rank official in the imperial court. The Fang family mansion is a grand compound with strict security, so it would not be easy for anyone to harm the Ren family.

Moreover, Fang Xing'an thought that since he had earned merit for the Fang family, he should treat the Ren family as honored guests.

"You're back?"

Upon seeing Fang Qingyou return, Fang Xing'an greeted her with a broad smile.

Even the way she's addressed has changed to the affectionate "You'er".

Fang Qingyou, however, remained calm and feigned ignorance, asking, "Lord Fang, what are you doing?"

“You’er, I’ve come to take your mother and brother back to the manor. In the past, you were able to take good care of them at home, so your father was at ease. But now that you’re going to the south, there’s no one to take care of them, and your father is really worried about that. So I thought I’d bring them back to the manor so that I can take care of them.”

Seeing the deliberately exaggerated smile on Fang Xing'an's face, Fang Qingyou couldn't help but roll her eyes.

If they were truly worried, why didn't they come to pick up Madam Ren and the others to take them back to the Fang residence during the days she was missing?

This cunning old scumbag, isn't he afraid of biting his tongue when he says that?

"Lord Fang, your Fang family is a grand and prestigious residence; we are probably not worthy of your presence."

Seeing Fang Qingyou's aloof demeanor, Fang Xing'an quickly patted his chest and assured her, "You'er, what are you saying? We're family, how can we talk like that? Just leave your mother and brother to me, I promise I'll take good care of them."

Fang Qingyou shook her head: "Lord Fang's intentions are kind, but I cannot accept them. I don't know when I will be able to return from this trip to the south, and I feel really bad for troubling you for so long."

"How can it be considered a trouble?" Fang Xing'an said anxiously. "You'er, we're all the same person, it's only natural for me to take care of your mother and brother. No matter how long you're gone, I'll take care of them! There are so many eyes watching, are you afraid your father is lying to you?"

Fang Qingyou frowned and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Lord Fang is a high-ranking official of the second rank in the imperial court, with great power and influence. How could he possibly lie to people? Of course I believe you, but I can't make this decision on my own. I need to discuss it with my mother and the others."

Upon hearing this, Fang Xing'an was overjoyed and said, "Go, You'er, go and discuss it with your mother and brother."

He knew that Fang Qingyou was the one who made the decisions at home. As long as she nodded, Ren Shi and Fang Runtin usually had no objections, and that would be the purpose of his trip.

Fang Qingyou entered Ren's room and saw Ren sitting there with a worried expression. When she saw Fang Qingyou come in, she stood up in surprise and said, "You'er."

"Mother!" Fang Qingyou rushed over and threw herself into Ren's arms.

The last time the mother and daughter parted, it almost became a final farewell.

"You're back, it's so good, so good!"

The mother and daughter embraced for a long time, shedding many tears, before reluctantly parting ways.

Fang Qingyou explained the purpose of Fang Xing'an's visit and saw that Ren Shi looked reluctant and worried.

Madam Ren had already seen Fang Xing'an arrive, but she didn't know that he originally wanted her to return to the Fang residence.

Fang Qingyou patiently persuaded Ren Shi for a long time before her expression softened slightly, but she was still extremely worried about Fang Qingyou's trip to the south.

After that, Fang Qingyou took Ren Shi to find Fang Runting.

Fang Runtin was clearly more insightful than Ren Shi and had long seen through Fang Xing'an's intentions.

When Fang Qingyou saw him, he pursed his lips tightly and didn't say a word.

Fang Qingyou first told Fang Xing'an about her trip to the south, and Fang Runting immediately frowned: "Sister, can't you skip the trip to the south?"

“This is an imperial decree.” Fang Qingyou shook her head.

Fang Runtin's brows furrowed even more, and he pursed his lips even tighter.

Fang Qingyou knew that Fang Runting needed some time to consider, so she looked at Elder Xing and said, "Elder Xing, your treatment cannot be interrupted, but I am going to the south and I don't know when I will be able to return. What I mean is that you can come to the south with me. What do you think?"

Elder Xing did not answer Fang Qingyou's question, but said, "Miss Fang, I think you can bring Runting with you on your trip to the south."

Now it was Fang Qingyou's turn to frown.

She naturally didn't want to bring Fang Runting along, because she knew very well about the insect plague in the south. What seemed like a natural disaster could very well be a premeditated attack.

Her intuition told her that the trip to the south might be more dangerous than she imagined.

How could she let Fang Runting accompany her to such a dangerous place?

However, she couldn't bring herself to refuse, because she saw Fang Runting's eyes light up instantly.

Fang Runtin had been frowning, but in an instant, he became radiant.

Elder Xing added, "Miss Fang, Runting's leg injury has completely healed without leaving any disability. He can move just like a normal person. Besides, at his age, it's time for him to go out and make his way in the world!"

Fang Qingyou still frowned.

It was Madam Ren who came over to persuade her: "You'er, actually it's quite good for Ting'er to be with you. The south is so far away, and you two siblings can look after each other."

"Mother!" Fang Qingyou and Fang Runting called out at the same time.

Madam Ren smiled and took Fang Qingyou's hand, then pressed Fang Runting's shoulder: "You'er, Ting'er, don't worry about your mother. I've lived for so long and have long since learned to take care of myself. You can go in peace."

Fang Qingyou's expression softened, and Fang Runtin's eyes instantly reddened. He lowered his head, his voice choked with sobs, and cried out, "Mother!"

Mrs. Ren stroked Fang Runting's head apologetically and affectionately: "Ting'er, you're so grown up now, it's time for you to go out and see the world. If you want to go, then go out and see places you've never been before, see worlds you've never seen before."
