She was several hundred meters away from Dahe Money Exchange, but she could see a large crowd gathered in front of the exchange from afar.

This scene is comparable to the bustling scene of middle-aged and elderly people lining up in long lines outside banks early in the morning to conduct business.

Fang Qingyou blinked, looking at Lüye with disbelief, and asked, "Lüye, am I seeing things? Why do I see so many people at the entrance of Dahe Money Exchange?"

Fang Qingyou had passed by Dahe Money Exchange many times before, but she had never seen so many people at the entrance of the money exchange.

Green Field truthfully replied, "Miss Fang, you're not seeing things. There are indeed many people at the entrance of Dahe Money Shop."

"Okay." Fang Qingyou thought to herself, "Is it because all the wealthy people in Nanguan County have come to deposit or withdraw money today that Dahe Money Shop is so busy?"

When Fang Qingyou got closer, she realized that these people didn't seem to be there to do business at Dahe Money Shop; they were mostly just there to watch the excitement.

At this moment, these people were gathered at the entrance of Dahe Money Exchange, seemingly watching something.

As Fang Qingyou continued walking, she discovered that the person these people were watching was actually Shi Wantong.

Shi Wantong sat quietly on a stool, with several maids beside her on one side and a large red wooden box on the other side, guarded by several servants.

With Shi Wantong making such a fuss, everyone would be curious about what she was doing, so more and more people gathered around.

However, no matter how people around her looked at her or talked about her, she always maintained a dignified and quiet demeanor.

When Fang Qingyou wasn't there, Shi Wantong acted like a well-bred young lady, sitting there quietly the whole time.

When Fang Qingyou arrived, Shi Wantong was seething with hatred inside, but she immediately put on a friendly smile: "Miss Fang, you've arrived."

Looking at Shi Wantong's beaming face, Fang Qingyou didn't want to ask her if she had gone out without taking her medicine, because her smile looked so fake.

Yesterday, when I saw her, she looked fierce, like a murderer of my father. But today, she's become so close to me. To outsiders, they would look like old friends who haven't seen each other in ages.

Judging from Shi Wantong's appearance, she must have come prepared today.

"Miss Shi, you've arrived." Fang Qingyou smiled and said, "No matter what Shi Wantong wants to do, I'll deal with it as it comes."

Before Fang Qingyou could finish speaking, she heard the clever-looking maid beside Shi Wantong say, "Miss Fang, why are you so late? My young lady has been waiting for you all morning, even though she's injured."

That voice was filled with indescribable grievance and sorrow.

This maid, Lingxiang, was Shi Wantong's most trusted maid.

"Lingxiang, you mustn't be rude to Miss Fang." Shi Wantong quickly scolded Lingxiang, while giving Fang Qingyou an apologetic look.

She looked truly gentle, elegant, and well-mannered.

If you look closely, you'll notice that Shi Wantong's face appears somewhat pale, and she seems quite weak.

At this point, Lingxiang said nothing more, but her expression looked extremely aggrieved, as if she were indignant on behalf of her master.

Seeing Lingxiang and Shi Wantong's state, even those in the know among the onlookers were somewhat resentful of Fang Qingyou. Miss Shi had been so sincere, yet Fang Qingyou had arrived so late.

Seeing the changes in everyone's expressions, Fang Qingyou deliberately feigned surprise: "Miss Shi, you're injured, but isn't the wound on your palm healed yet? Didn't you use the medicine I gave you yesterday?"

Shi Wantong enjoys playing mind games with her so much, does she look so naive and stupid?

Fang Qingyou refused to admit that she was late. Yesterday, she only said that she and Shi Wantong would meet outside Dahe Money Exchange, but she didn't say when they would meet, okay?

Of course, she wouldn't say these words aloud.

Some onlookers were unaware of what was going on, so those in the know recounted how Fang Qingyou had repaid evil with kindness by delivering medicine to Shi Wantong the previous day.

Shi Wantong thought Fang Qingyou was going to argue, but she didn't expect her to pretend to care about her injuries.

She naturally wouldn't use Fang Qingyou's medicine; she had casually thrown the bottle away yesterday.

Of course, Shi Wantong wouldn't tell the truth, and wouldn't want to appear petty.

Just as Shi Wantong was about to say something like, "She used that medicine, thank you Fang Qingyou," Fang Qingyou said somewhat dejectedly, "Miss Shi, so you didn't use my medicine. Oh well, I'm just a villager from the mountains, and my medicine is naturally not as good as the miraculous elixirs in your mansion. It doesn't matter if you lose it."

At this moment, the onlookers turned their attention to Shi Wantong. If that were the case, then this Miss Shi would not deserve any sympathy at all.

So what if we're poor? Should the dignity of the poor be trampled on?

These words directly contradicted Shi Wantong's actions, causing her eyes to flicker: "Miss Fang, you've misunderstood me, I..."

Fang Qingyou didn't give Shi Wantong a chance to explain, deliberately showing some distress: "Miss Shi, you don't need to explain. I know my status is lowly, and I can understand your thoughts. I won't blame you."

At this point, Shi Wantong hurriedly said, "Miss Fang, you've misunderstood. I've already taken your medicine, but only now do I have the chance to thank you."

To everyone's surprise, Fang Qingyou's expression became even more heartbroken after hearing these words: "Miss Shi, you don't need to comfort me. I actually know a little about medicine, and I can tell that the medicine on you is not my medicine."

Upon hearing this, Shi Wantong's expression froze. She never expected that Fang Qingyou would know medicine.

Shi Wantong naturally doubted Fang Qingyou's words, but her guilty conscience shattered the friendly expression she had been feigning.

Immediately, the onlookers were all discussing it.

"This Miss Shi is far too hypocritical."

"Yes, I thought she was genuinely kind to this girl."

"You're too naive. How could the daughters of high-ranking officials possibly look down on girls from ordinary families like ours?"

"Yes, the intimacy is all an act. Who knows what they really think of us?"

These comments were extremely irritating to Shi Wantong, and her face burned with embarrassment, leaving her momentarily stunned and unsure how to react.

She had planned it all out, just waiting for Fang Qingyou to retort that she wasn't late, so that she would lose out in terms of magnanimity.

Then Lingxiang will provoke Fang Qingyou again. In the end, Fang Qingyou will reveal her vulgar and ugly nature as a country girl, making her despised and disgusted, and ruining her reputation.

However, Shi Wantong never expected that Fang Qingyou would seize the initiative so quickly, which put her in a passive position.

However, Shi Wantong did not forget that she had a helper, and secretly gave Lingxiang a wink.
