"Miss Shi, what's wrong?" Fang Qingyou could vaguely guess what had happened, but she pretended not to know and asked.

"It's nothing, Miss Fang, no need for you to worry." Shi Wantong was seething with anger, but the pain in her palm brought her back to her senses, forcing herself not to publicly insult Fang Qingyou.

In public, she had to maintain the demeanor of a lady from a distinguished family; how could she act like a shrew from the streets?

Shi Wantong's maids all looked at Fang Qingyou with bitterness and hatred, wishing they could avenge their young lady.

Fang Qingyou roughly guessed what Shi Wantong was thinking, smiled and took out a bottle of wound medicine from her body, walked up to Shi Wantong and said: "Miss Shi, did you get blisters on your palms? I have a bottle of wound medicine here, please use it."

"No need." Shi Wantong didn't believe Fang Qingyou would be so kind, and she was even less willing to accept her charity.

She felt disgusted even by looking at such a shabby and ugly woman, so how could she possibly use her things?

Fang Qingyou ignored Shi Wantong's refusal, stepped forward and shoved the medicine bottle into her hand before turning and leaving.

“You…” Shi Wantong had an urge to throw the medicine bottle at Fang Qingyou, but before she could do anything, Xuan Qing stood in front of her expressionlessly.

Although Xuanqing didn't say a word, his expression was full of impatience and urging.

Shi Wantong had witnessed Xuan Qing's cold-bloodedness countless times today, and she had no hope that he would show her any mercy. She could only bite her lip and grip the broom tightly to continue sweeping the street.

At this moment, some murmurs of discussion arose from the surrounding area.

"This Miss Fang is truly kind-hearted. Miss Shi almost dropped a teacup on her earlier, but she didn't hold a grudge and even gave her medicine for her injuries."

"Yes, Miss Fang truly repays evil with kindness."

"Yes, Miss Fang is such a good girl. On the contrary, look at Miss Shi, she didn't even say thank you to her."

"Shh, don't be so loud. I heard that Miss Shi's father is a high-ranking official."

"Is it really true? Is this all the petty-mindedness of daughters from noble families is? They're not even as good as girls from ordinary families like us..."

If Fang Qingyou could hear these compliments, she would definitely feel embarrassed.

Actually, she wasn't that kind-hearted. She wasn't repaying evil with kindness, but rather she was worried that if Shi Wantong injured her hand, she wouldn't be able to deliver the thousand taels of silver to Dahe Money Shop tomorrow.

As for these comments about Shi Wantong, she agreed with them. If Shi Wantong had enough composure, Gu Jinyi might look at her differently.

Fang Qingyou couldn't hear these sounds, but Shi Wantong heard them clearly.

These words made Shi Wantong tremble uncontrollably with anger; she really wanted to rush over and tear these people's mouths apart.

Before, she could occasionally hear voices of sympathy for her, but now all she heard were voices praising Fang Qingyou and insulting her.

She dismissed their sympathy with disdain.

These words of praise for Fang Qingyou sounded extremely harsh to her, while the words of insults against her were even more offensive.

These lowly, unruly people are utterly ignorant, utterly hateful, and utterly deserving of death!

Unable to lash out, Shi Wantong could only clench her fists tightly, forcing herself to suppress her anger and swallow her hatred.

I unexpectedly ran into this shabby and ugly woman today. I originally wanted to teach her a lesson, but I didn't expect to end up in such an embarrassing situation.

Not only did she fail to do anything to this poor, ugly woman, but she also had to pay her a thousand taels of silver and sweep the streets in public.

Not only did she lose her status as a lady from a respectable family, but she also had to endure the humiliation and insults from these lowly and unruly commoners...

Shi Wantong used too much force, causing the blister on her palm to feel like it had burst, and the pain made her face turn white.

Even so, Shi Wantong showed no sign of letting up; she wanted to remember this pain and the humiliation she had suffered today.

She will repay today's humiliation tenfold!

After returning home, Fang Qingyou rested for a while before washing Luo Qianmo's clothes.

There are no strong, multi-functional detergents like laundry powder, soap, or laundry liquid here; most households use soap pods instead.

Soap pods are indeed good at removing stains, but they are not very effective at cleaning stains on white clothes.

However, this was not difficult for Fang Qingyou, because she had her own homemade laundry soap.

Luo Qianmo's white brocade robe was quickly washed clean, without a single stain remaining.

Looking at the pristine white brocade robe, Fang Qingyou felt an urge to sell the laundry soap to Luo Qianmo. If that were the case, she could probably live a life of comfort just by selling laundry soap.

However, Fang Qingyou would not do that. She did not want to have too much contact with Luo Qianmo, and besides, such a life was too monotonous.

While Fang Qingyou was washing clothes, her story had already spread throughout the streets and alleys of Yunjing City.

Yes, she became a celebrity.

Fang Qingyou knew she was famous, but she didn't know she was famous in such a short time. In just half a day, the name "Miss Fang" was known to everyone.

Ordinary people could only speculate about her identity and background, while well-informed noble families and royalty were thoroughly investigating her information.

They were eager to know what kind of woman Miss Fang was. She seemed to have a close relationship with Young Master Gu Jinyi, and even received special treatment from the Eighth Prince Luo Qianmo.

"Miss Fang, it seems there are many more people spying on your house again." Green Field said excitedly as he ground medicine for Fang Qingyou, glancing at the grove of trees outside the Fang family's house.

The more dangerous Fang Qingyou was, the more valuable he felt.

"Huh? I haven't even gotten my hands on that thousand taels of silver yet, how come someone is already eyeing it?" Fang Qingyou became nervous, carefully staring at the swaying branches of the grove, wondering if a thief might dart out from there.

Fang Qingyou never imagined that these people weren't there for money at all.

Green Field shook his head in confusion, wondering why so many people were staring at Fang Qingyou.

Seeing Green Field's calm expression, Fang Qingyou couldn't help but ask, "Green Field, can you handle these people?"

“Of course!” Green Field nodded.

"That's good. Green Field, then we're entrusting our family's safety to you. If anything happens, you know what to do." Fang Qingyou breathed a sigh of relief; she trusted Green Field completely.

Although this child is a bit slow-witted, he is quite skilled.

"Don't worry, Miss Fang, leave everything to me," Green Field said confidently.

"Thank you for your hard work." Fang Qingyou was finally relieved.

However, Fang Qingyou was becoming increasingly uneasy about her humble home. She could see into the yard from outside the door, and the rooms were extremely dilapidated and flimsy. She estimated that anyone with strength could kick open the doors and windows with one foot...

The more Fang Qingyou looked, the more determined she became; she was determined to earn enough money as soon as possible to renovate her home.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a mansion, but it must be convenient and comfortable to live in.
