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

In reality, she was just a minor county princess. Ordinary people only needed to bow to her; there was no need for them to kneel down as a form of respect.

The supreme power of the emperor is truly terrifying. Mingyue only intended to scare the two maids, but she didn't expect that even Lady Ren would be frightened.

Ren was her mother; for her to make her mother kneel before her daughter was considered extremely unfilial in any era.

“Mother, you are my birth mother, there is no need for you to bow to me,” Fang Qingyou said helplessly.

Madam Ren shook her head again: "Princess, you mustn't do that. Regardless of our status, since you are a county princess personally appointed by the Emperor, I naturally have to pay my respects to you!"

She wasn't some clueless housewife; the term "official" refers to the higher status of officials compared to ordinary people.

Looking at the stubborn Ren family, Fang Qingyou was truly at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

This was absolutely terrifying for Ren Shi.

If we really make Ren kneel before her, wouldn't that be too much of a burden for her?

“Mother, although I am a county princess, the Emperor has said that my biological parents can be exempted from the formalities.”

"Really?"

Seeing the doubt in Ren's eyes, Fang Qingyou nodded without blushing: "Of course it's true. Our birth parents are the greatest benefactors in the world. How can parents kneel before their children!"

Emperor Mingde would certainly not say such a thing. Fang Qingyou was lying. In front of these two maids, she certainly couldn't say that she was just a minor county princess and couldn't possibly accept the kneeling ceremony.

Otherwise, wouldn't that ruin Mingyue's purpose of disciplining those two maids?

Only then did Madam Ren abandon her intention to kneel and sit back down on the bed.

Only then did Fang Qingyou breathe a sigh of relief.

He sat down by the bed and covered Ren Shi with the quilt: "Mother, it's getting cold now, and you're not feeling well, so you need to rest. If there's anything you need to do, just let the maids do it. Don't try to do everything yourself."

Her voice was soft, but it startled the two maids so much that they froze and kowtowed even harder.

The "bang bang" sounds of the impacts seemed to have no sense of pain, as if they wanted to smash a hole in the ground.

Although both maids were snobbish and opportunistic, their behavior towards Madam Ren was entirely at the Madam's behest.

Little did they know that this fifth young lady, born out of wedlock, had become a county princess the moment she returned, and had just happened to catch them not serving Madam Ren...

The two women were filled with regret. If they had known that Fang Qingyou was doing so well now, they would have at least tried to save face and wouldn't have dared to be so presumptuous.

Actually, when the two of them were resting in the side room, they heard someone coming. They thought it might be the Fifth Miss returning, so they didn't come out immediately.

They had intended to ignore this illegitimate daughter, but unexpectedly, they were the ones who were frightened.

Seeing the actions of the two maids, a cold glint flashed in Fang Qingyou's eyes. Now they know fear, what were they doing before?

However, it was also fortunate that Zhou had arranged for these two inexperienced maids to serve Ren. Otherwise, if two cunning maids had been assigned, who knows what would have happened to Ren now.

Ren is intelligent, but she has never experienced the dark side of the inner courtyard before, and she may fall into someone's trap if she is not careful.

At this moment, Fang Qingyou forgot that Ren Shi was not alone; she also had Luo Qianmo's people protecting her in secret.

Luo Qianmo had told her about these things before.

"You'er, Mother is fine. I'm used to being busy; I'm not used to being idle." Mentioning her "physical inconvenience," Madam Ren's self-blame deepened. She had originally wanted Fang Qingyou to spare Amei and Axiu, but now she couldn't bring herself to plead for them.

Seeing Ren's expression, Fang Qingyou couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Madam Ren is just too kind. These two maids treated her so well, and all they did was kowtow to them. She softened her heart.

If this had happened to any other master, those two maids would have been severely punished with a beating, and the master wouldn't have cared even if they were beaten to death.

However, given that Ms. Ren is pregnant, I must comfort and counsel her.

Regardless of the circumstances, the children are innocent.

“Mother, if you really can’t stand being idle, when the weather is nice, you can have Aunt Luo accompany you for a walk in the yard…”

As they were talking, she suddenly remembered Aunt Luo: "Mother, where is Aunt Luo?"

She's been here for a while now, but where is Aunt Luo?

Whenever I think of Aunt Luo, I also think of Yue Min and Yue Yao.

It seems those two girls aren't here either.

Just then, they heard Aunt Luo's slightly rough voice from outside: "Xiao Ying, I've lit the stove, it shouldn't be cold now..."

As they were talking, someone lifted the curtain, and a smell of charcoal filled the room.

At that moment, Yuefei immediately stepped forward and lifted the curtain. Seeing that Aunt Luo was struggling to carry a stove, she quickly offered to take the stove from her.

As Aunt Luo was talking, she was startled to see someone come out from inside. She didn't think that Amei and Axiu would be so kind as to help her.

When she saw Yuefei, she was stunned. She vaguely felt that the girl was familiar, but she couldn't remember who she was.

While she was still in a daze, Yuefei had already taken the stove from her arms and turned to walk into the house.

"Aunt Luo, come in quickly, the girl is back."

Upon hearing the word "young lady," Aunt Luo immediately thought of Fang Qingyou. Then, remembering that she was indeed coming back today, she was overjoyed and quickly followed Yuefei into the room.

At that moment, she remembered that the familiar-looking girl was none other than Yuefei, who was standing in front of Xiaoyou!

As soon as Aunt Luo entered the house, she began searching for Fang Qingyou. She was taken aback when she saw Amei and Axiu kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and pounding garlic like they were doing something else, before she looked away.

"Aunt Luo!" Aunt Luo hadn't even found Fang Qingyou yet when she heard a sweet voice.

Then he was stunned. The voice was clearly Xiaoyou's, but the appearance didn't look like Xiaoyou at all.

Just now, she noticed a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes sitting next to Madam Ren. She thought it was a young lady from some family who had come to visit Madam Ren, but she did not expect that it was Xiao You.

Now, hearing her voice and looking closely, one can indeed recognize some resemblance to Xiao You on the girl's face.

Aunt Luo was initially excited and wanted to call out to Xiao You, but remembering Yue Min and Yue Yao's instructions, she quickly changed her address and bowed to Fang Qingyou, saying, "Greetings, Miss."

"Aunt Luo, come and sit down." As she spoke, Fang Qingyou had already taken Aunt Luo's hand and pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed.

Ah Mei and Ah Xiu saw Fang Qingyou's actions and felt a surge of resentment.

They and Aunt Luo were all servants, but Fang Qingyou treated them in completely different ways.
