"What 'going with the flow' means is that fate arranges who you marry, and by following fate, you might find your happiness. Conversely, for example, like you said, second sister, if no one wants you, instead of going with the flow, are you going to beg others to want you?"

The key point is that even if you beg someone to take you, they might not be willing to.

"Fang Qingyou, what nonsense are you spouting? How could no one want me!" Fang Qingman suddenly became agitated, her finger trembling as she pointed at Fang Qingyou.

"Second sister, don't get agitated. I already said it was just an example, not a fact."

Fang Qingman retorted angrily, "Giving examples won't do! How could I, the second young lady of the Fang family, be unwanted! You're the one who's unwanted!"

"Second sister, I already said I was just joking, why are you taking it so seriously? I'm currently busy with my career and have no time to talk about marriage. But there's one thing I must make clear. I don't care at all whether anyone wants me or not. If I'm truly good, someone will naturally like me, and if we happen to be compatible, I'll naturally get married. On the other hand, if the person I want to marry doesn't like me, even if I desperately try to get close to them and use my status as a young lady of the Fang family, it probably won't make a difference. That's the essence of letting things take their course."

Fang Qingyou paused slightly, then added, "However, there are always exceptions. If someone wants to marry someone who doesn't like them, they might be able to achieve their goal by forcing or bribing them. But there's a saying that's very true: a forced marriage won't be sweet; it might even end up being a bitter one!"

These words made most people's faces darken.

Fang Qingman, in particular, almost roared at Fang Qingyou, "Fang Qingyou, shut up!"

She just said she was the second young lady of the Fang family, and now Fang Qingyou is saying that the marriage might succeed if she is lured with benefits. This is clearly an insult to her, implying that the family she is marrying is only after her status, and that it will definitely end up with a bitter result, and a very bitter one at that.

How could she not be angry?

Zhou's face was equally grim; Fang Qingyou was clearly cursing her daughter's marriage to be unsuccessful!

His expression turned stern: "You'er, how can a young lady like you say such things? If word gets out, who would dare to marry a daughter of the Fang family?"

For a moment, everyone except Fang Qingyun turned their hostile gazes toward Fang Qingyou.

Her words were so unorthodox and contrary to reason. If these words were to reach the ears of others, wouldn't they think that all the daughters of the Fang family were like this?

If that's the case, then Fang Qingyou has really dragged them down.

Fang Qingyou knew that Zhou's intention was to make her a public enemy, so she pretended to be puzzled and said, "Mother, aren't we talking about my sisters' marriages? What I'm saying is also about marriages. Besides, it's just the two of us here. How could what I'm saying get out to the outside world? Unless someone spreads these words."

As she spoke, Fang Qingyou glanced around, and everyone else shook their heads repeatedly.

Their gaze finally settled on Zhou Shi: "Would Mother spread these words?"

The others also turned their attention to Zhou, waiting for her answer.

"No way!" Zhou was speechless with anger. If Fang Qingyou's words today really got out, wouldn't everyone blame her?

"That's good. So, no one outside will know a word of what we sisters have said here. Sisters, feel free to talk about it. Marriage is a major life event that concerns your lifelong happiness, so you must be very careful."

With that, Fang Qingyou stood up first and said to Madam Zhou, "Mother, I have something to attend to today, so I'll be leaving now. I'll come to pay my respects to you again tomorrow."

Zhou suppressed her anger and waved her hand, signaling her to leave quickly.

If she doesn't leave soon, these daughters will probably become disobedient. They even dare to talk about marriage. That wild girl is really going to drive her crazy.

"Mother, then Yun'er will also take her leave."

As soon as Fang Qingyou left, Fang Qingyun also hurriedly prepared to leave.

Seeing Fang Qingyun's timid appearance and knowing that she couldn't be of much help in important matters, he simply waved her away to let her go, so as not to annoy him by seeing her.

"Fifth Sister!" Fang Qingyun came out and saw Fang Qingyou's back, so she called out quickly.

As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized he hadn't addressed her correctly and quickly corrected himself, saying, "Princess County."

Upon recognizing Fang Qingyun's voice, Fang Qingyou stopped and waited for her.

"Sixth Sister, you should still call me Fifth Sister, it sounds nicer."

Within the Fang family mansion, if she were to truly find someone she liked, Fang Qingyun would be one of them.

"Yes, Fifth Sister."

Seeing Fang Qingyun's preoccupied expression, Fang Qingyou couldn't help but ask, "Sixth Sister, are you still thinking about marriage?"

Fang Qingyun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Fifth Sister, you said Mother asked about our attitude. After we said this, I don't know if she will let us go, or if she will still marry us off?"

"Sixth Sister, I only have one question for you. If you were a farmer and needed oxen to plow the fields, now would be the best time for oxen to plow, guaranteeing the best harvest. But now the oxen are unwilling to plow the fields. Would you let the oxen go, or would you insist on making them plow the land?"

Fang Qingyun's face suddenly turned pale. The answer couldn't be clearer. If she was like this, what about Zhou Shi?

Fang Qingyou knew that Fang Qingyun understood her words, but she suddenly realized that the example she had given seemed a bit inappropriate. She could have used other analogies, but why did she have to use the ox plowing the field?

Ahem, she did it unintentionally, it really wasn't dirty-minded.

"Sixth Sister. If you really don't want your marriage to be controlled by others, you should make plans as soon as possible."

Fang Qingyun's face paled even more. What should she do? What could she do?

She was just an unfavored concubine's daughter in the mansion, how could she possibly compete with Madam Zhou?

"Fifth Sister, aren't you afraid?"

Seeing Fang Qingyun's pale face, Fang Qingyou couldn't help but sigh. She was naturally not afraid of Zhou Shi.

She has her own clinic, so she can live a good life even without the Fang family.

She also held the title of county princess, even if it was merely a title in name only, it still made Zhou Shi somewhat wary.

Moreover, Luo Qianmo insists on marrying her. Given his status, what can Zhou Shi do to her?

Even if she didn't do that, even if she had a fight with Zhou Shi to the death, she would not willingly let Zhou Shi control her.

However, Fang Qingyun lacked all of these qualities, and Fang Qingyun could not do the crazy things that she could do.
