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

Fang Qingman's eyes lit up instantly.

At that moment, Fang Qingwei's figure suddenly swayed, and she almost lost her footing.

"Mother, are you serious? Do you want to marry me off to Young Master Gu?"

Seeing Fang Qingman's happy expression, Madam Zhou smiled and nodded: "Of course I take it seriously. If I didn't, why would I ask you?"

"Young Master Gu is the most outstanding young master in the world. He is gentle and refined, learned and talented. If I could marry him, I would be laughing in my sleep."

Haha, isn't that right?

The mother and daughter chatted and laughed, but Fang Qingwei was gripping the edge of the table behind her tightly; if she didn't hold on, she was afraid she would fall.

Looking at her smiling mother and sister, she felt for the first time how harsh their voices were and how jarring their smiles were.

It stung her so much that she wanted to reach out and destroy everything.

She had liked the man since she was a child, the man she had always longed for, but now her mother wanted to marry her older sister to him...

Previously, although she didn't particularly like her older sister, she had never looked down on her. But now she felt that a woman like her older sister was simply not worthy of Young Master Gu!

He was an ethereal man, and despite her efforts, she always felt as if there were countless heavens separating them, making it impossible for her to reach him.

Marrying a woman like my sister is an insult and a desecration to Young Master Gu!

Once, in her heart, her mother and sister were family, but now, why do she feel that they are so distant?

Fang Qingwei bit her lip tightly until it bled before finally speaking: "Mother, the Gu family is the most prestigious family. What kind of family background do you think is worthy of Young Master Gu?"

He spoke each word with great force, as if afraid that others wouldn't hear him.

Fang Qingman's smile vanished instantly: "Sister, what do you mean? Are you saying I'm not good enough for Young Master Gu?"

Fang Qingwei bit her lip and remained silent, her face pale and radiating a desolate coldness.

Fang Qingman got even angrier, and her silence was tantamount to admitting it.

“Sister, I believe I have treated you well, how could you treat me like this? The Gu family is the most prestigious family, but our Fang family is not bad either. I am the eldest daughter of the Fang family, am I not good enough for the eldest son of the Gu family?”

Fang Qingwei's fingernails scratched the edges of the table, leaving wood chips: "Sister, you may have forgotten that the Emperor once wanted to marry the princess to Young Master Gu."

Fang Qingman's face turned even uglier. She remembered that there really was such a thing, and it had caused quite a stir at the time.

She remembered that the eldest son of the Gu family did not ultimately marry that princess.

"Sister, the princess is the princess, and I am me. Just because Young Master Gu doesn't marry the princess doesn't mean he won't marry me. Just because Young Master Gu doesn't like the princess doesn't mean he doesn't like me!"

Fang Qingwei suddenly laughed. She didn't say anything, but her smile was full of mockery and sarcasm.

That's why Fang Qingman was absolutely furious: "Fang Qingwei, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that Young Master Gu won't like me?!"

Roaring, Fang Qingman almost lunged at Fang Qingwei, her long fingernails nearly scratching her face.

Zhou's brow twitched suddenly, and she quickly stood up to stand between the two of them: "Enough, enough, that's enough!"

Fang Qingman's fingernails pierced Zhou's hand, drawing blood.

At this moment, Fang Qingman suddenly froze: "Mother, you..."

Ignoring the pain, Zhou pressed her handkerchief against the wound and said to Fang Qingman, "Man'er, Mother is fine. You can go back now."

“But…” Fang Qingman glanced coldly at Fang Qingwei, wondering if this was really her younger sister, for saying such hurtful things to her.

"Go back quickly!" Zhou urged again with a stern face.

Fang Qingman left reluctantly, but before leaving, she glared fiercely at Fang Qingwei.

At this moment, Madam Zhou slowly turned around and looked helplessly at Fang Qingwei, saying, "Wei'er, why do you have to upset your sister like this?"

"Mother, why do you insist on marrying my sister to Young Master Gu?" Fang Qingwei looked directly into Zhou Shi's eyes, her gaze sharp and piercing, unlike her usual obedient and gentle demeanor.

This is clearly a question.

Her eyes were already brimming with tears, and if she hadn't been holding them back, they would have spilled out long ago.

Zhou was stunned, not only by Fang Qingwei's sharp questioning, but also by her intense reaction.

"Wei'er, do you like Young Master Gu?"

Fang Qingwei moved her lips, wanting to speak, but she couldn't say anything. She felt as if a knife was twisting in her heart.

My heart aches terribly.

Finally, she couldn't hold back and burst into tears.

Zhou felt heartbroken seeing Fang Qingwei crying. Even though she preferred her eldest daughter, this was still her daughter, and seeing her cry like this broke her heart.

I wanted to say something, but I didn't know what to say. I wanted to go up and comfort her.

Just as Zhou's hand was about to touch Fang Qingwei's shoulder, she pushed it away.

Fang Qingwei looked at Zhou Shi with trembling tears in her eyes, her eyes filled with a desperate coldness and pain: "Mother, you, you, did you never know?"

Madam Zhou was stunned. She had never really been able to see through her second daughter's thoughts, but after the banquet in the palace last time, she vaguely felt that her second daughter probably liked Gu Jinyi.

However, she did not expect that her second daughter's affection for Gu Jinyi would reach such a deep level.

Seeing her in such agony, it seemed even more painful than killing her.

Zhou's hesitation prompted Fang Qingwei to sneer: "You know it, right?"

Madam Zhou quickly shook her head: "Wei'er, I didn't know this before. Wei'er, calm down and listen to what I have to say."

As he spoke, he tried to hug Fang Qingwei again, but she pushed him away once more.

"Liar, liar, you're a liar! You know perfectly well that I like him, yet you still insist on marrying my sister to him!"

Zhou Shi swayed slightly, barely managing to steady herself, and forcefully pulled Fang Qingwei back, explaining, "Wei'er, you've misunderstood your mother. Your mother actually preferred to marry Man'er to the First Prince, but being a royal daughter-in-law isn't easy. With her scheming and manipulative nature, it would be very difficult for her, so..."

"So, you want me to marry the eldest prince, and then have my sister marry Young Master Gu, is that right?"

Having her thoughts exposed, Zhou was unsure whether to refute them.

Fang Qingwei suddenly burst into laughter and shoved Zhou Shi away. Caught off guard, Zhou Shi fell heavily to the ground.

"Boom-"

A loud crash resounded on the ground.
