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

"Of course, just leave this to me. Xiaoyou, what kind of fish do you want to buy, and how many?" Liu Tiewa didn't suspect anything.

"Let's buy a few black carp and a few crucian carp. See if they're fresh. If they're good, we can buy a few more." It was originally an excuse, but after hearing it, Fang Qingyou felt that she really needed to buy a few fish.

Liu Tiewa smiled憨厚ly and said, "Okay."

"Uncle Tiewa, why don't you take Ermao to the market? Aunt Luo and I are off to run some errands. We'll meet at the market entrance then, don't be late!"

"it is good."

"Sister You'er, Grandma Luo, see you later!" Er Mao waved goodbye to Fang Qingyou and Grandma Luo.

Fang Qingyou and Aunt Luo waved to Er Mao before leaving, heading towards the county government office in Nanguan County.

With Liu Tiewa gone, Aunt Luo no longer needed to hide her words: "Xiao You, so you were dressed as a man that day. I thought you were a young man."

Fang Qingyou chuckled and stroked his chin as if stroking a beard: "Really? Aunt Luo, do I look like a girl or a young man today?"

Aunt Luo was amused by Fang Qingyou's mischievousness. In fact, if she hadn't heard Fang Qingyou's voice first and seen her dressed like this, she probably would have mistaken her for a young man.

It's not that she has bad eyesight, but that she simply wouldn't think in that direction.

As Fang Qingyou approached the county government office, she became somewhat worried. The process of posting the notice and examining the corpse that day had been far too simple, handled entirely by Guard Zheng. She hadn't even seen a single person from the county government office.

Now, who should she look for at the county government office? What if the people there don't even know she's the coroner in this case?

Fang Qingyou was just worrying when she spotted Guard Zheng at the entrance of the county government office.

Guard Zheng also noticed Fang Qingyou and asked in surprise, "Oh, young man, you've arrived?"

"Huh? Brother Bing, why are you still here?" Fang Qingyou didn't forget that Guard Zheng was a palace guard, and he usually stayed in the palace unless there was something important to do.

"There's been a new development in the case, so I've come to handle it."

"Oh, I came here to see if there's anything I can do to help."

"I see. Then I'll take you to see Magistrate Zhang."

Aunt Luo was completely confused by their conversation, but she didn't ask any questions.

When she met Magistrate Zhang, Aunt Luo was quite surprised. She had originally thought that the magistrate of Nanguan County was the ethereal young man from that day.

Unlike his arrogant demeanor during their first meeting, Magistrate Zhang greeted Fang Qingyou with a friendly smile this time: "Young Master Fang, you've arrived."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Luo's heart skipped a beat: "That girl Xiao You is really bold, how could she dare to deceive even the county magistrate?"

If Fang Qingyou could hear what Aunt Luo was thinking, she would definitely shake her head: "Is this considered daring? She has done far more daring things."

"This humble subject greets Your Excellency, Magistrate." Fang Qingyou was taken aback by Magistrate Zhang's affable attitude and couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.

This magistrate should have recognized her by now, but why is his attitude so... so gentle?

Yes, Magistrate Zhang confirmed that Fang Qingyou was the same brat who mistook Luo Qianmo for him that day. Not only that, he kept thinking to himself that he hadn't looked at Fang Shiyu carefully that day, but now that he did, he found that she was very delicate-looking and looked like a woman.

However, Magistrate Zhang would not say this in front of Fang Qingyou. The reason why his attitude towards her changed so drastically was because the imperial court attached great importance to this case, and Luo Qianmo praised her highly.

He had a feeling that Fang Qingyou would soon rise to prominence, and that once the case was closed, her status might even surpass his.

He was blind before, but now that he knows how capable she is, he's naturally eager to curry favor with her.

"Young Master Fang is truly a promising young man. With your assistance, the murderer in that case has been apprehended in just a few days. The murderer is currently imprisoned in the county jail, and the trial will be held tomorrow." Before Fang Qingyou could ask any further questions, Magistrate Zhang told her everything.

Hearing Magistrate Zhang's praise, Fang Qingyou felt uncomfortable all over. It had only been a few days since she last saw him, how come the magistrate seemed like a completely different person?

Fang Qingyou didn't want to exchange flattering words with Magistrate Zhang, fearing he would praise her again, so she quickly got down to business: "The case is going to be heard tomorrow, so what can I do?"

Magistrate Zhang smiled and said, "Young Master Fang, all you need to do tomorrow is testify in court. I will naturally ask you to appear when necessary."

"This official" has become "I," and "to announce" has become "please"...

Fang Qingyou looked at the county magistrate and couldn't help but wonder if he had taken the wrong medicine today.

"Your Excellency, when will court be held tomorrow?"

"At exactly 9:00 AM."

"Oh, I will definitely arrive at the county office before 9:00 AM tomorrow. Magistrate Zhang, is there anything else I need to do? If not, I will take my leave now and come back tomorrow." Looking at Magistrate Zhang's smiling face, Fang Qingyou just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

The way Magistrate Zhang looked always made her feel like he was plotting something against her.

"That's all, Young Master Fang. You can go ahead and do what you need to do. We'll see you again tomorrow." Magistrate Zhang felt a little disappointed. He had originally wanted to keep Fang Qingyou a little longer and chat with her to increase her favor towards him, but unfortunately, she didn't give him the chance.

However, Magistrate Zhang was not in a hurry, as he could still see him tomorrow.

Fang Qingyou was unaware of how much Magistrate Zhang valued her. After leaving the county office, she went to the cloth shop. She wanted to make two sets of clothes for Aunt Luo, but the fabrics at home were not quite suitable.

Aunt Luo didn't know that Fang Qingyou was going to make clothes for her, and she even helped her choose some nice pieces of fabric.

When Fang Qingyou and Aunt Luo returned to Caishikou, Liu Tiewa and Er Mao had been waiting for them for a while. The four of them drove the carriage back to Liujia Village.

“You’er, I’m used to doing all the housework myself. Why are you so delicate and need someone to wait on you?” Madam Ren was initially annoyed that Fang Qingyou had hired someone, but after hearing about Aunt Luo’s experience, her eyes reddened. “You’er, I’m sorry, I misunderstood you. You did a very good job.”

Fang Qingyou deliberately raised her chin and glanced sideways at Ren Shi: "Hmph, it's good that you know you were wrong. Hurry up and make some delicious food to make up for it!"

Ren Shi laughed at Fang Qingyou's antics, her eyes filled with affection: "You greedy girl, wait a moment, the food will be ready soon."
