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

Chapter 79 Dismissal – The Opportunity to Show Off His Superiority Gone

Green Field held a heavy bundle in his arms, feeling a sense of satisfaction, because inside was the one hundred taels of silver that had almost caused Zhang the matchmaker's family to suffer excruciating pain.

Fang Qingyou, however, was thinking about something else.

When Zhang the matchmaker handed over the one hundred taels of consultation fee to Fang Qingyou, she told her something.

Matchmaker Zhang said that a Madam Li from Yunjing City came to her and asked her to find a way to marry Fang Qingyou off, which led to Matchmaker Zhang's later attempt to force her to marry off the village chief's foolish son.

The matchmaker Zhang revealed these things in the hope that when she asked Fang Qingyou to treat Yuanbao next time, Fang Qingyou would waive the 100 taels consultation fee for her.

Fang Qingyou initially kept quiet, only reluctantly agreeing after Zhang the matchmaker had exhausted all her sweet talk. This was partly to tease Zhang the matchmaker, and partly to conceal her concern about these matters.

Apart from her, no one knew that the poor original owner was already dead.

If she wants to avenge the original owner of this body, she can't alert the enemy.

Although Fang Qingyou felt that Zhang the matchmaker wasn't telling the whole truth, she could roughly guess the real facts.

If she wasn't mistaken, Madam Li wasn't asking Zhang the matchmaker to marry off the original owner, but rather to find a way to kill her.

The matchmaker, Zhang, couldn't bring herself to kill him, so she came up with the compromise of marrying the original owner off to a fool.

Liu Erya must have overheard the conversation between Madam Li and Matchmaker Zhang, which is why she and her sister-in-law ended up with one wanting to marry the original owner off to a fool and the other wanting to drown her.

The day Madam Li came to find Zhang the matchmaker was a few days before Fang Runting injured his leg.

Fang Qingyou couldn't help but wonder if Fang Runting's injury was also orchestrated by that Madam Li, and if the person who did it was very likely Liu Erya.

Therefore, when Fang Qingyou left, she deliberately glanced at Liu Erya and found that Liu Erya still dared not look her in the eye, which confirmed most of the matter.

Fang Qingyou hates Zhang the matchmaker, hates Liu Erya, and hates Madam Li, who manipulates them, even more.

Who exactly is this Madam Li? What deep-seated hatred does she have for them that makes her so determined to kill the brother and sister?

Thinking this, Fang Qingyou decided to go back and ask Fang Runting where he was injured, to see if she could find any more clues.

After returning home, Fang Qingyou took a nap. At noon, Mu Jin and Mu Mian came to pick her up again.

This time, Gu Yuxin was treated at Qingwu Tower again, but Fang Qingyou was unable to see Gu Jinyi again.

Although she was a little disappointed not to see Gu Jinyi, Fang Qingyou quickly forgot about it after seeing that Gu Yuxin's condition had improved.

After the last treatment, Gu Yuxin trusted Fang Qingyou much more. Although she was still shy, she no longer resisted the treatment and would even take the initiative to talk to her about her physical condition, which made the treatment process very smooth this time.

After the treatment, watching Fang Qingyou's slender figure packing up the silver needles, Gu Yuxin hesitated for a moment before finally speaking: "Miss Fang, there's something I need to tell you."

Fang Qingyou thought Gu Yuxin had some questions about the treatment, so she turned to look at her seriously and said, "Miss Gu, if you have any questions, just ask me. Don't be shy or embarrassed. Good health is the most important thing."

Gu Yuxin was initially a little nervous, but seeing Fang Qingyou's reaction, she couldn't help but laugh: "Miss Fang, this matter has nothing to do with treating the illness. What I want to tell you is about Qingwu Tower expelling Shi Wantong from its list."

Fang Qingyou didn't understand what was going on for a moment, and after a while she asked, "Expulsion? Does that mean Shi Wantong can no longer enter Qingwu Tower?"

"Mm." Gu Yuxin nodded slightly.

She did this. Although she had only met Fang Qingyou a few times, she already considered her a friend.

She couldn't possibly remain indifferent when others bullied her friend, especially since Shi Wantong's actions towards Fang Qingyou were due to her brother, Gu Jinyi.

However, although Gu Yuxin did this, she was worried that Fang Qingyou would think she was too scheming and that it would create distance between them, which is why she hesitated before about how to tell her.

"Miss Gu, won't what you're doing provoke a conflict between your two families?" Fang Qingyou was naturally pleased with herself. Shi Wantong couldn't wait to go to Qingwu Tower all the time, and she might even be proud of having the opportunity to enter Qingwu Tower. But now that she's lost that chance to show off her superiority, she's furious.

However, Fang Qingyou was still somewhat worried about Gu Yuxin.

If Gu Yuxin really does this, then the Gu and Shi families will likely have a complete falling out.

Even though the Gu family is the most powerful family, she is unwilling to create another enemy for no reason because of herself.

Moreover, if that's the case, then Gu Yuxin might be punished by her family because of her, right?

Gu Yuxin gently shook her head: "Miss Fang, Shi Wantong would never think it was me. The manager of Qingwu Tower doesn't even have the surname Gu."

Gu Yuxin's words were somewhat joking, but Fang Qingyou understood the deeper meaning behind them.

Gu Yuxin meant that Shi Wantong had no idea that Qingwu Tower was a Gu family-owned business, so naturally she wouldn't blame the Gu family.

Moreover, Shi Wantong's reputation is now ruined, and she's afraid that too many people will distance themselves from her, and she won't know who to blame.

Seeing Gu Yuxin like this, Fang Qingyou changed her initial opinion of her; the gentle Gu Yuxin was not a blank sheet of paper.

It's not hard to understand; the eldest daughter of the most prestigious family wouldn't be so simple.

However, Fang Qingyou did not dislike Gu Yuxin, but lamented that life in aristocratic families was always so complicated, making it impossible for people to live simply.

In her previous life, as a direct descendant of the Fang family, she also possessed exceptional medical talent and wore a jade thumb ring symbolizing the family's most outstanding successor. Whenever there was a family gathering, she could feel the various gazes of the other people.

She felt particularly uncomfortable when her peers looked at her with a complex mix of emotions, including respect, admiration, envy, and jealousy. This was why she disliked attending family gatherings the most.

Fang Qingyou was thankful that she would never have to endure these things in this life.

Pulling her thoughts back from the past, Fang Qingyou couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, Shi Wantong is very talented and quite good-looking. If it weren't for her vicious nature, she would really be a good woman. If she hadn't been so aggressive towards me, I wouldn't have had to expose her true nature and make her infamous."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuxin held Fang Qingyou in even higher regard. Not everyone can see the strengths of their enemies, and even fewer people have the magnanimity to acknowledge them.
