Fang Qingyou continued to use Green Field as an excuse, but the real reason was that she felt it was too vulgar to talk about money with a man like Gu Jinyi.

Green Field, unaware of Fang Qingyou's thoughts, assumed that she was only doing this because of him, and was very pleased: "Young Master Gu, please don't be so polite with Miss Fang. She is not only kind, but also very loyal."

At this point, Gu Jinyi put the brocade box away and looked at Fang Qingyou apologetically: "In that case, I have been presumptuous on behalf of Miss Fang."

Fang Qingyou just smiled; what Lüye said was the absolute truth.

However, wouldn't you say that she indirectly patted herself on the back?

"Young Master Gu, your men are all fine now. Do you need anything else? If not, I'll be heading back now."

Fang Qingyou really wanted to spend more time with Gu Jinyi, but she was hungry and was afraid that her stomach would rumble loudly and make her look bad in front of Gu Jinyi.

"Oh? Miss Fang, are you going back so soon?"

Gu Jinyi's expression remained unchanged, and he was asking the same question in his mind. He felt that not much time had passed.

Fang Qingyou could tell that Lüye didn't want to leave, so she said, "Lüye, if you want to catch up with Young Master Gu, then stay. I can go back by myself."

Although Green Field didn't want to leave, upon hearing this, he shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, I promised the young master that I would protect you."

Therefore, Lü Ye immediately clasped his hands in farewell to Gu Jinyi: "Young Master Gu, I'll be leaving now. Let's chat again another time if we have the chance."

Gu Jinyi smiled and nodded slightly. This parting should give us a chance to meet again in the future, right?

Seeing this, the pretty young girl showed some anxiety.

Fang Qingyou knew that the pretty young girl had probably thought it through, so she took out a box of moisturizing lotion and walked up to her: "Miss, this box of moisturizing lotion is for you. If you find it useful, please recommend it to more friends. I live in Liujia Village, Nanguan County."

The pretty young girl accepted the moisturizing dew and whispered in Fang Qingyou's ear, her voice barely audible: "Miss Fang, I will have someone come to invite you tomorrow."

"Okay." Fang Qingyou smiled, relieved that all her efforts had finally paid off and Gu Yuxin was willing to let her treat her.

However, Fang Qingyou was unaware that Gu Yuxin took this step because of Gu Jinyi's encouragement.

“Xinxin, Miss Fang has exceptional medical skills and is straightforward and righteous. You can try to trust her.” Although Gu Jinyi said this, he was very certain that Fang Qingyou could cure Gu Yuxin.

Not only because he witnessed her medical skills with his own eyes today, but also because of the inexplicable yet strong trust he felt in her.

As Fang Qingyou and Gu Yuxin were talking, Gu Jinyi walked over with a smile: "Miss Fang, I'm so sorry, I'm only having the chance to introduce you now. This is my younger sister, Gu Yuxin."

Fang Qingyou deliberately feigned surprise: "So it's Miss Gu. I didn't know your identity before, please forgive me."

Gu Yuxin smiled gently and nodded to Fang Qingyou: "Miss Fang, you don't need to be so polite."

In the end, Fang Qingyou and Lvye left together.

Watching Fang Qingyou's departing figure, a slight ripple stirred in Gu Jinyi's gentle eyes.

He had seen too many women in the world, those from noble families and even those born into wealth and privilege, whose gazes towards him were always too intense, so intense that it made him uncomfortable.

When Fang Qingyou looked at him, her eyes showed amazement, but even more so, respect.

She respected him simply because of who he was, not because of his family, his status, or his reputation.

Gu Jinyi felt that even if he wasn't standing here today as the eldest son of the Gu family, she would still treat him the same way.

For some reason, Gu Jinyi felt a spark when he saw Fang Qingyou, who looked like an ordinary girl.

Her skillful hands and kind heart, her unparalleled medical expertise, and her straightforward and righteous nature all made him feel that she was different from others.

She was like a nimble breeze, drawing his gaze in irresistibly.

Further away, further away, even further away.

This was the first time in twenty years that he had felt this way about a woman.

Beside Gu Jinyi, Gu Yuxin looked at Fang Qingyou with anticipation in her eyes.

Over the past few years, she has seen many doctors, but none of them have been able to cure her illness. She hopes that Fang Qingyou can rescue her from this predicament.

As Fang Qingyou and Lüye returned to Liujia Village, they became a bunch of questioning babies.

"Green Field, what does your Tianhua Pavilion do? Also, aren't you from a martial arts sect? How do you know Young Master Gu?"

"Miss Fang, you don't even know about Tianhua Pavilion?!" Green Field looked at Fang Qingyou as if she were a monster, very dissatisfied with her ignorance: "Miss Fang, our Tianhua Pavilion is the number one gang in the world, known to everyone! You've known the young master for so long, and you don't even know we're from Tianhua Pavilion!"

Seeing Lü Ye's almost angry expression, Fang Qingyou blinked seriously. Had she known Yi Lingyun for a long time? Wasn't it only a few days?

"Green Field, you're still complaining about me? Don't you know I live in a remote mountain village and don't know much about the outside world?!" Fang Qingyou glared at Green Field with dissatisfaction. Although she had asked two questions, she was more concerned about the answer to the second one, so she pressed on: "Green Field, tell me quickly, how exactly did you and Young Master Gu meet?"

Actually, Fang Qingyou wanted to ask about Gu Jinyi, but asking like that would be too direct. Cough cough, she wasn't that frivolous, right?

“Our young master’s maternal grandmother and Young Master Gu’s maternal grandmother are cousins, so of course they know each other. Young Master Gu has even visited our Tianhua Pavilion before.” As Green Field spoke, he proudly raised his sword: “Hehe, this Green Pine Sword of mine was a gift from Young Master Gu.”

Fang Qingyou actually wanted to ask Lüye, "Gu Jinyi should have given the Jade Pine Sword to Yi Lingyun, but in the end, Yi Lingyun gave it to Lüye, right?"

However, seeing Lü Ye's smug look, Fang Qingyou didn't say these words. He had just saved her, and she couldn't be ungrateful.

At the same time, Fang Qingyou couldn't help but sigh in her heart that their great-grandmother's family had really good genes, which is why they could produce two handsome men of the same caliber as Yi Lingyun and Gu Jinyi.

While Fang Qing leisurely returned home, the atmosphere in Derong Palace was oppressively suffocating.

Upon hearing the news reported by Eunuch Quan, Empress Qin's face darkened, her complexion turning as black as if ink could drip from it.

"Bang--" After a long while, the sound of porcelain shattering broke the oppressive atmosphere.

Empress Qin smashed the teacup beside her to the ground, shattering it into pieces.
