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

"I only heard it from someone else. If it's wrong, it's wrong. Why are you swearing at me?"

"I heard that back then, the old lady wanted to arrange marriages for several young ladies, but the madam disagreed, and the two of them quarreled. Not long after, the old lady fell ill and died."

“I’ve heard that too. They said that the old lady died with her eyes open.”

As soon as these words were spoken, all the maids felt a chill run down their spines and fell silent in unison, no longer daring to discuss these matters.

As Fang Qingyou walked, she pondered these matters and said to Mingyue, "Mingyue, investigate Old Madam Fang's affairs tomorrow."

It was just a few maids chatting idly, but for some reason, Fang Qingyou always felt that she could find something out from it, and vaguely felt that Zhou Shi was really related to the death of Old Madam Fang.

"Yes." Mingyue also sensed some connection. If Zhou was really related to the death of Old Madam Fang, then the young lady would have more leverage to bring her down.

As a result, Fang Qingyou had just woken up from a nap when Mingyue handed her a booklet.

"What is this?" Fang Qingyou asked curiously. She had just woken up when Mingyue shoved this thing into her hands.

"What you want, young lady," Mingyue replied.

"What did I want?" Fang Qingyou was confused. Why didn't she remember asking for anything? She had just woken up and hadn't had a chance to ask for anything yet.

However, when she casually flipped through the pages, she was immediately stunned.

The things written in this booklet were all about Old Madam Fang.

No wonder Mingyue said it was what she wanted; it really was.

But, does it have to be this fast?

She had just told Mingyue last night to check on Old Madam Fang's affairs today, and as soon as she opened her eyes, the things were delivered to her.

Fang Qingyou couldn't help but look outside. Well, it wasn't even dawn yet.

"Mingyue, do you have to be so amazing? It's not even dawn yet, and you've already found it."

Mingyue simply smiled and said, "Girl, look quickly."

This booklet contains a record of everything that happened to Madam Fang before she passed away.

Back then, it was indeed Old Madam Fang who first arranged marriages for several young ladies of the Fang family. However, Zhou Shi was not satisfied with the family Old Madam Fang arranged for Fang Qingman and said she wanted to take another look.

As it turned out, Old Madam Fang was no pushover, and the two women got into a big argument, which Fang Xing'an eventually had to break up.

However, Madam Fang did not change her mind, and Madam Zhou was equally adamant. The two argued several more times, both big and small.

Then, Madam Fang suddenly fell ill. She was sick for a month, and the more doctors she saw, the worse her condition became. In the end, she died.

This version is different from the ones Fang Qingyou heard.

However, precisely because of this, this version is very likely to be the truth.

Fang Qingyou's fingertip lingered on the word "suddenly," remaining there for a long time.

The illness came on suddenly, which was definitely not normal. At that time, Madam Fang was only in her prime and quite robust. It was unlikely that she could die from the illness in such a short time.

The doctor's intuition told her that there must be something fishy about Madam Fang's death.

However, so many years have passed, it will be extremely difficult to investigate this matter again.

Suddenly remembering the conversation among the maids last night, Fang Qingyou's lips curled into a sly smile.

She came up with a solution, a very crude and direct but very effective one.

Fang Qingyou glanced at Yuefei and nodded.

When Yuefei saw Fang Qingyou's mischievous gaze, she felt like someone was about to be attacked.

After deciding on the plan, Fang Qingyou closed the booklet in her hand and was about to burn it when she suddenly remembered that she had seen a similar booklet a few days ago. She couldn't help but ask, "Mingyue, did you get this booklet from Luo Qianmo?"

Mingyue was taken aback, clearly understanding that Fang Qingyou was asking her a question, but she remained silent.

Fang Qingyou's face immediately darkened. She had only asked casually, but she hadn't expected that the other person would guess right.

So this booklet really did come from Luo Qianmo.

She was devastated. How could Luo Qianmo's reach be so far now? It was practically everywhere, like a tangled tree root.

Although his presence made many things much more convenient, it also bound her and him tightly together.

Luo Qianmo's move was too vicious. It was like boiling a frog in lukewarm water. First, he made her get used to relying on him, and then he made her unable to let go. She would be stuck on his pirate ship forever, unable to escape until she died.

Fang Qingyou silently withdrew her gaze from Mingyue and Yuefei, deciding that she needed to find two useful maids for herself as soon as possible, otherwise her world would be taken over by Luo Qianmo.

Seeing Fang Qingyou's gaze, Mingyue and Yuefei exchanged a smile.

They were all thinking to themselves that her daughter was too naive. Even if she replaced them, did she really think that the people she found were the ones she had found?

If the girl finds a new personal maid, they are sure that the new maid will be even more ungrateful than they were!

No, their elbows always bend inwards, sometimes towards His Highness, sometimes towards the young lady, but no matter how they bend, it's always the two of them.

There's no need for them to distinguish between each other.

If Fang Qingyou could hear what the two of them were thinking right now, she would be so angry she would vomit blood.

After finishing her preparations, Fang Qingyou was about to leave the mansion to find She Yuyan and ask her about the date of the Emperor's banquet when she received an invitation from the Yuan family.

Fang Qingyou was stunned for a moment, not immediately recognizing who Grand Tutor Yuan was.

“Young lady, Grand Tutor Yuan is one of the Three Dukes and a veteran of two dynasties.”

"So impressive." This was the first time Fang Qingyou had heard anyone mention this Grand Tutor Yuan; he sounded very powerful.

"Grand Tutor Yuan and the Emperor had a close teacher-student relationship, and the Emperor regarded him as a father figure."

"Oh." Fang Qingyou finally understood. Since Lord Ma was impeached, the Emperor was unable to hold the banquet himself, so he used Grand Tutor Yuan to hold the banquet.

It seems that Lord Ma's matter has indeed caused quite a stir. Not only are the ministers thinking about which side to take, but even the Emperor is considering arranging marriages for his sons.

This is the most crucial moment; a capable concubine can be a great help in ascending the throne.

However, no one can predict what the world will be like then.

Thinking of these things, a hint of worry crept into his eyes.

Luo Qianmo is also a prince, I'm afraid he can't escape these storms, right?

Furthermore, the Emperor might arrange a woman for him, and if it's not her, would he really defy the imperial decree?

What will his fate be then?

For some reason, when Fang Qingyou thought about Luo Qianmo possibly marrying another woman, she felt that he should be very happy, so that she could be free.

But for some reason, thinking about these things made her feel a tightness in her chest, a sour feeling, and she even had an urge to cry.
