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

This time, Fang Xing'an came prepared, confident that he could bring Ren Shi, Fang Qingyou, and Fang Runtin back home.

However, Fang Qingyou still couldn't change her dislike for Fang Xing'an, because she knew very well his purpose.

Seeing Fang Qingyou drying herbs in the yard, Fang Xing'an walked over with a smile: "You'er, where's your mother? Is Ting'er resting in his room? His leg injury hasn't fully healed yet, has it?"

As soon as Fang Xing'an moved, his two servants, carrying loads of gifts, followed him.

Fang Qingyou merely glanced at Fang Xing'an indifferently: "Minister of Works, sir, aren't you meddling a bit too much?"

She deliberately emphasized the title "Minister of Works" in the hope that Fang Xing'an would think about how he got his position and realize how cold-hearted and ruthless he was.

Isn't it too late to start caring about Fang Runtin's leg injury now?

If it weren't for her medical skills, Fang Runtin would have almost died, and the poor original owner of this body would have been dead long ago.

Fang Qingyou's attitude was cold, but Fang Xing'an's temper remained good. He showed a guilty expression on his face: "You'er, I was wrong before. I shouldn't have left you in Liu Family Village. But please believe me, I have never forgotten you. I think about you day and night."

Fang Qingyou rolled her eyes, feeling goosebumps rising all over her body.

They were left in Liujia Village? Perhaps "abandoned" would be a more accurate description.

That scumbag doesn't even remember the names of Ren Shi and Fang Runtin, yet he claims he hasn't forgotten them?

The reason he was able to remember her name was probably because of that imperial edict.

Fang Qingyou's attitude grew even colder: "Minister of Works, I'm truly sorry, I'm very busy and have no time to entertain you. If you'd like to stay at my house, please make yourself at home."

As she spoke, Fang Qingyou pointed to a broken chair in the corner of the yard, then turned and left.

"You'er..." Fang Xing'an felt embarrassed by being left hanging by Fang Qingyou and wanted to chase after her, but he saw Ren Shi walk into the courtyard and immediately changed his target.

From afar, Fang Xing'an called out affectionately to Madam Ren, "Yingying!"

Yes, after recalling these past few days, Fang Xing'an finally remembered that Ren's name was Ren Yuying.

Upon hearing this voice, Madam Ren's body stiffened slightly. She turned her gaze to Fang Xing'an, and her face immediately turned pale.

Fang Xing'an's voice became warmer: "Yingying, I've finally seen you..."

"Yingying, I've been thinking about all the things we've been through together these past few days, and I miss them so much. Yingying, I was wrong. I shouldn't have made you and your child suffer..."

Fang Xing'an kept talking patiently, while Ren Shi, pale-faced, didn't say a word from beginning to end, though the expression in her eyes kept changing.

After all, the two had shared a romantic relationship and had two children together, so it's impossible to say that they had no feelings for each other.

Fang Qingyou had been deliberately avoiding Fang Xing'an, but stopped when she heard that Madam Ren had come out.

Fang Qingyou didn't want to hear what he said to Ren Shi; she just didn't want Ren Shi to be deceived by his sweet talk.

This old scumbag has probably been with countless women; he's clearly a master of seduction. She doesn't want the Ren family to fall into that trap again.

Seeing that Ren Shi was showing signs of being persuaded by Fang Xing'an, Fang Qingyou was secretly anxious. Ren Shi was too naive and no match for him.

No matter how sweet or affectionate Ren Lao scumbag's words are, if he cared about the Ren mother and son, why would he wait until today to come looking for them?

Ren was indeed moved by Fang Xing'an. Although she hadn't thought about those memories for a long time, they had always been hidden in her heart, but today he dug them up.

For a moment, time seemed to rewind to that year, as if the hardships and suffering that followed had never happened...

"Mother, I won't go with him."

Just as Ren was hesitating, a cold, youthful voice came from beside him.

When Madam Ren turned her head, she saw that Fang Runting had somehow arrived at the window, and he had a clear view of everything in the courtyard.

Upon seeing Fang Runtin, Fang Xing'an was somewhat shocked. After so many years, he realized that Fang Runtin had grown up so much and was no longer the little boy who used to follow him around calling him "Dad".

Compared to Fang Qingyou, Fang Xing'an had more feelings for Fang Runting, after all, they had lived together for so long, while Fang Qingyou was too young at that time, just an infant who knew nothing.

Seeing that the affection and intimacy in Fang Runting's eyes had turned into indifference and resentment, Fang Xing'an felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

"Ting'er, I've been wrong all these years, you..."

Before Fang Xing'an could finish speaking, Fang Runtin coldly interrupted him: "Minister of Works, you don't need to say anything more. I will not go to the Fang residence with you."

After saying that, Fang Runting closed the window, blocking Fang Xing'an's view.

At that moment, all the emotions that had stirred in Ren's heart vanished instantly.

She had almost forgotten what had happened over the years. It didn't matter that she had suffered; the key was that her children had really suffered too much.

The son is seventeen years old. He is thin but strong, handsome, kind-hearted and filial. However, because his family is poor and he is an outsider, no girl is willing to marry him.

He broke his leg and hasn't recovered yet because he doesn't have the money for treatment.

My daughter is fourteen years old. She is thin and small because she doesn't eat well. She has never worn nice clothes since she was little, and she has never been dressed up as beautifully as other girls.

Some time ago, because she borrowed three taels of silver from Zhang the matchmaker and couldn't repay it, Zhang the matchmaker was going to force her to marry the village chief's mentally challenged son, which caused her daughter to jump into the river and almost drown, making her almost lose her daughter.

Ren had previously thought it was nothing, but now she felt deep regret and her heart turned cold towards Fang Xing'an.

Seeing the change in Ren's expression, Fang Xing'an secretly thought to himself that things were not going well. He had finally managed to persuade her, but he didn't expect that Fang Runting's words would ruin everything.

At this moment, Fang Xing'an hardened his heart and gave one of the servants a look.

The servant understood Fang Xing'an's meaning, then looked towards the door and nodded to the owner of the gaze he met.

The man nodded to the servant.

Sure enough, the next moment, Madam Ren said to Fang Xing'an, "Minister of Works, you should leave."

As she spoke, Mrs. Ren turned to go back.

Seeing this, Fang Xing'an quickly pulled her back: "Yingying, even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. We've been husband and wife for a time, you..."

"Minister of Works, you'd better not trouble yourselves with us, mother and son." Madam Ren tried to pull her hand away from Fang Xing'an's, but just then several men walked in from outside: "Who is the master of this house?"
