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

This immediately set the maids' imaginations running wild.

One theory is that Old Madam Fang was indeed angered to death by Madam Zhou back then, otherwise Old Madam Fang's ghost wouldn't have appeared just as Madam Zhou was about to arrange marriages for her daughters.

Hearing these comments, Madam Zhou turned pale with anger. Just as she was about to severely punish the maids who were talking nonsense, Fang Xing'an returned in a panic.

Realizing that something must have happened in the imperial court, Zhou Shi lost all interest in dealing with the maids.

"Master, has something happened in the court again?" It's no wonder Zhou thought this way; Lord Ma's matter was clearly just the beginning.

Once the wind picks up, a storm will soon follow.

Before speaking, Fang Xing'an let out a heavy sigh, his face filled with anxiety.

Upon seeing this, Madam Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately had a very bad premonition. She said anxiously, "Master, what's wrong? Please say something. I'm so worried about you."

Fang Xing'an sighed repeatedly before finally saying anxiously, "Something has happened to Lord Song."

"Which Lord Song?" Zhou asked, but before she could finish, a possibility occurred to her, and her face turned pale instantly: "Master, the Lord Song you're talking about, is it not the Lord Song under your command?"

Fang Xing'an said dejectedly, "It's him!"

Zhou swayed suddenly, almost losing her footing: "Lord Song, he was also impeached by the censor?"

"Yes, he was impeached for abusing his power, seizing homes and land..."

Fang Xing'an rattled off a string of accusations, and Zhou's face paled even more as she listened: "Master, is this matter true or false?"

"Whether it's true or not, I've been implicated by him! That old bastard, how could he do something like this! The Emperor immediately ordered a thorough investigation, but he bypassed me and directly ordered people to be stationed in the Ministry of Works to investigate the matter." Fang Xing'an became angrier and more agitated as he spoke.

"What should we do?" Zhou was also very anxious. It's no wonder she was worried, as that Lord Song was not only Fang Xing'an's subordinate, but also someone he was very close to.

"Oh dear, what are we going to do!"

Moreover, and very importantly, this Lord Song was promoted by Fang Xing'an back then.

If Lord Song really gets into trouble, how could the Fang family not be implicated?

Fang Xing'an said irritably, "I haven't thought of a solution yet. The Emperor is furious about Lord Song's matter, and I'm afraid that if I make any moves, the Emperor will find out and think that I'm in cahoots with him. But if I don't do anything, I won't feel at ease. That old bastard was someone I promoted myself!"

As he spoke, he slammed his hand on the table, making a loud thud. The teapot and teacups on the table clattered loudly. Fang Xing'an was so angry that he overturned the table and watched as the teapot and teacups shattered into pieces.

Zhou was startled, but quickly comforted Fang Xing'an, "Master, don't be too anxious. Let's think about it slowly, we'll find a way eventually. Being anxious now will only harm your health."

Fang Xing'an was so angry that he was trembling. It took Zhou Shi a long time to calm him down before he calmed down.

"Master, don't worry too much. If we really can't think of a solution, I can talk to my brother. There will always be a solution."

Upon hearing this, Fang Xing'an regained some color in his face, and his gaze towards Zhou Shi was filled with gratitude.

If this had happened to someone else's wife, she would probably have scolded him half to death. But Zhou Shi didn't utter a single complaint against him. Instead, she comforted him and helped him deal with these matters.

Thinking about all this, Fang Xing'an felt deeply that his decision to marry her back then was absolutely the right one.

Actually, he was very reluctant to marry her back then, and the woman he truly loved was not Zhou.

He ultimately married her because of her family background.

For the first time in all these years, he felt that he had been wise to choose a wife who was most beneficial to him.

That day, Zhou and Fang Xing'an discussed the matter for a long time, but could not find a suitable solution.

Just as Zhou was about to return to her parents' home, a maid came to report that Fang Qingwei had once again spilled the food that had been brought in.

Zhou was so depressed that she couldn't utter a single word for a long time. It was as if all these bad things had piled up at once.

Left with no other choice, Zhou went to see Fang Qingwei again.

Despite all the kind words, Fang Qingwei remained silent, staring blankly at the ceiling like a dead person.

Zhou thought of feeding Fang Qingwei some food, since she hadn't eaten or drunk anything since yesterday.

To her surprise, the spoon was knocked away from her lips, and she was met with Fang Qingwei's blank yet cold eyes.

"Wei'er, you should at least eat something. How can you go on like this? Your health will collapse."

Fang Qingwei remained unresponsive, her eyes only showing a deathly coldness.

"You..." Zhou finally lost her patience. So many unpleasant things had happened in one day, she was already annoyed enough, and now she had to endure Fang Qingwei's unreasonable behavior. She was extremely depressed.

"Fine, don't eat then! Take the food away and leave her alone."

With that, Madam Zhou stormed off. After finally calming herself down, she went to the Zhou residence.

When they returned, Zhou's expression relaxed slightly. Her brother had promised her that if anything happened to Fang Xing'an, he would do everything in his power to protect him.

Only after hearing those words did she feel a little more at ease.

After returning home, he recalled how upset he had been and how cold he had been to Fang Qingwei. Thinking of her in that state, he felt a pang of heartache and went to find her again.

Even if it's annoying, what can she do? It's still her daughter. Can she really just ignore her?

After seeing Fang Qingwei, Zhou's mood plummeted again.

Is the second daughter really determined to make a scene with her this time?

He hasn't eaten or drunk anything and is ignoring her.

Perhaps because she had something on her mind, Zhou tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. When the night was deep and quiet, she turned over and her eyes fell on the window.

At a glance, Zhou trembled with fright, for she had just seen a white shadow fly past the window.

When Zhou looked closely, she could no longer see any white shadow.

However, I couldn't help but recall what the maids had said during the day; they said they had seen the ghost of Old Madam Fang.

She didn't believe in ghosts and spirits. Even if ghosts really existed, three years had passed. Did they still really exist? She seriously doubted it.

She must have been too tired today, both mentally and physically, which is why she experienced hallucinations for a moment.

So Zhou immediately closed her eyes again. She had to fall asleep right away, otherwise how would she have the energy to deal with those things tomorrow?
