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

Hearing Fang Qingyou address him as "you," the magistrate's anger flared even more. How dare a mere youth be so disrespectful to him! Only remembering that he was in front of the county government office did he refrain from lashing out. He could only suppress his anger and reply, "Of course, it is I!"

Fang Qingyou was stunned for a moment before finally asking, "Since you are the magistrate of Nanguan County, who was the person who spoke up for me just now?"

"He is..." The magistrate was about to give the answer, but in the end he just glared at Fang Qingyou fiercely and stormed off, looking as if he wished she would beat him up.

Watching the magistrate enter the county office, Fang Qingyou curled her lip in displeasure: "In ancient times, people were indeed divided into different classes. He's just a small county magistrate, yet he's so arrogant! Humph, if he doesn't want to talk, fine, but why is he being so fierce?"

Fang Qingyou turned her head to look in the direction the boy had left, but he was no longer there.

"Who exactly is he?" Fang Qingyou murmured. The young man must be some kind of official, and his rank must be higher than that of the county magistrate. Otherwise, when she mistook him for the county magistrate, the magistrate would have already jumped out and started cursing her.

However, there are many officials with higher ranks than a county magistrate.

Unable to figure it out immediately, Fang Qingyou gave up thinking about it. Whoever he was, he had indeed saved her today.

Given his status, they probably won't have the chance to meet again, so she doesn't need to worry about who he is.

So Fang Qingyou called out in that direction, "Whoever you are, thank you so much! I'm leaving, goodbye!"

After saying goodbye, Fang Qingyou left happily, feeling so relieved to be debt-free.

Fang Qingyou was unaware that after she left, two people suddenly emerged from an alley near the county government office.

These two men were quick-witted and had sharp eyes; they were clearly not ordinary people.

After the two men emerged from the alley, they exchanged a glance and chased after the three boys in the direction they had gone.

As soon as the three boys reached the woods where the carriage was parked, the eyes of their two henchmen simultaneously darkened. These two tails really didn't let their guard down at all.

The boy's expression remained unchanged, but a chilling glint flashed in his deep eyes.

The three boys walked calmly to the carriage, seemingly unaware that the two men were following them.

Before the carriage, a subordinate in blue stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, let me help you change your clothes first."

The boy nodded slightly, his eyes revealing undisguised disgust, as if his spotless white clothes were filthy beyond recognition.

The men in blue quickly removed the white outer garment from the boy's body, and only then did his expression soften slightly.

Afterwards, the brown-clad subordinate lifted the carriage curtain, and the boy stepped into the carriage.

This carriage looks quite ordinary from the outside, but its interior is fully equipped and extremely comfortable.

Inside the carriage, the brown-clad subordinate helped the young man change into a brand-new, clean, and luxurious brocade robe. At this moment, he was arrogant and aloof, completely different from the gentle and handsome man who had appeared at the county government office.

Even in such an ordinary carriage, his brilliance still shone as brightly as the sun, moon, and stars.

Beneath the carriage, the men in green had burned the white robes to ashes as if they were trash.

After that, the men in green boarded the carriage and sped away, heading straight for the south gate of Yunjing City, the imperial capital of Yunyue Kingdom.

After the three boys left, two people emerged from the woods.

These two were the same two who had chased them all the way from the county government office to this place.

After leaving the woods, the two hurried to the nearest inn, then rode their two horses back into the woods to once again follow the boy's trail.

Fang Qingyou was unaware of these things; she was currently on her way back to Liujia Village.

By the time Fang Qingyou reached the village entrance, it was already dark. She could vaguely see a figure waiting there, but the dim light prevented her from making out the person's face.

Fang Qingyou's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Zhang the matchmaker still dared to arrest her?

Just then, a familiar, delighted voice rang out: "You'er?"

It's the Ren family!

"Mother!" Fang Qingyou's expression lit up with joy, and she immediately rushed into Ren's arms.

Ren was a typical woman from Jiangnan, with a slender and graceful figure. Her arms were small, but at this moment, Fang Qingyou felt very warm, just like her mother's embrace.

Madam Ren looked at Fang Qingyou with concern: "You'er, how are you? I heard that Matchmaker Zhang..."

"Mother, I'm fine. Let's go home first." Fang Qingyou gave Ren a wink; the village entrance wasn't the place to talk.

Realizing that this matter might affect Fang Qingyou's reputation, Madam Ren quickly fell silent.

Once home, Madam Ren hurriedly asked again, "You'er, did Matchmaker Zhang bring people to arrest you today?"

Madam Ren looked nervous, but Fang Qingyou smiled easily and said, "Mother, Zhang the matchmaker is asking me for money, but I have already paid back the three taels of silver I owed her. We won't be afraid of her causing trouble anymore."

The process wasn't easy, but the matter is over now, and Fang Qingyou doesn't want the Ren family to worry.

"You'er, you, you... did you get the money from selling the herbs?" Madam Ren was astonished. It wasn't that she didn't believe that herbs could be sold for so much money, but rather that she couldn't believe that Fang Qingyou could find so many medicinal herbs, after all, she had only studied medicine for a few days.

"Hehe. Mother, I was so lucky today! I dug up a precious medicinal herb and sold it for more than three taels of silver." Fang Qingyou knew about Ren Shi's doubts, but she couldn't tell her the truth.

In fact, all the money came from her medical practice, and her medical skills came from her previous life, not from a hermit doctor who took her as his apprentice and taught her some medical skills, as she told Ren Shi.

She didn't want to lie to the Ren family, but she couldn't tell them that her daughter was actually dead, and that Fang Qingyou, who was standing in front of her, was just a soul from another world.

Shocked, Madam Ren was filled with self-reproach and guilt: "You'er, it's all my fault, a girl your age..."

Before Ren could finish speaking, Fang Qingyou interrupted her with a stern face: "Mother, why are you saying such things again? Didn't I tell you, we are family, and you are not allowed to argue about these things?"

Fang Qingyou pretended to be angry, and Madam Ren stopped talking with tears in her eyes: "You'er, be good, Mother won't say anymore."

Fang Qingyou's expression softened slightly, and she asked, "Mother, how is my brother doing today? I haven't seen him all day. Let's go see him."

"Ting'er woke up for a while at noon and looks a bit better," said Madam Ren, before leaving with Fang Qingyou.

After the two arrived at Fang Runting's room, Fang Qingyou skillfully lit the candles on the table.

The candlelight was dim, yet it added some light to the dark room.
