The steward glared at Fang Yu as he finished speaking.

Then he stopped talking and stood to the side, waiting for Miss Cui to explode.

However, Miss Cui did not react with a thunderous outburst as the steward had expected. Instead, she glanced at Fang Yu calmly, waiting for his response.

Fang Yu chuckled lightly and said.

"And then?"

This was very infuriating. After saying something insulting, he actually asked someone else, "And then?" It was a real punchable look. How on earth did Wang Jia let him go back like that? He should have been given a severe beating as a punishment before being released.

At least Mr. Cui wouldn’t have to look so embarrassed.

"Mr. Fang’s words are tantamount to openly offending Madam Wang, aren’t they?" Cui Wenwen said.

"So I ask you back, where did I insult Madam Wang?"

"Aren’t you cursing Madam Wang to die?"

"What utter nonsense, if she dies within 7 days, it’s because I cursed her to die?"

"This..."

"Utter foolishness. Are you as foolish as Madam Wang? If you can’t even accept the truth and consider it an insult, then death is just death, and don’t blame me for not warning you," Fang Yu said.

Hearing Fang Yu’s words, Cui Wenwen was shocked.

He didn’t expect Fang Yu to be so convinced he was right.

Moreover, Cui Wenwen was well aware of Fang Yu’s medical skill.

Since he was this confident, something must indeed be wrong with Madam Wang’s health. Perhaps everyone else didn’t believe him, but how could Cui Wenwen doubt his own savior?

"Mr. Fang, are you saying that Madam Wang is indeed sick?"

"Isn’t it obvious?"

"I trust your medical expertise, which is the finest I’ve seen. But this is no trivial matter, and we can’t afford even a hint of joking."

"If you think I would jeopardize my future or offend Madam Wang for the sake of a joke, then think as you wish."

Cui Wenwen stood there, stunned.

Ye Wenjun added, "I originally thought there would be someone in the Divine Race who could understand the meaning of my husband’s words. Unfortunately, no one does. If even speaking the truth is considered an insult, then the Divine Race in the main city is beyond saving, and we would rather retreat to another planet to live."

Indeed.

This matter made no sense from any logical standpoint.

How could Fang Yu have offended Madam Wang for a mere joke? He couldn’t possibly be speaking nonsense; the only possibility is that what Fang Yu said is true.

How could telling the truth be considered an insult?

Truth is often hard to hear.

If you cannot listen, you are the one who will suffer the loss.

Even if no one believed Fang Yu, Cui Wenwen was saved by him. How could he not believe him?

Cui Wenwen felt his face flush.

"Mr. Fang, I have wronged you. I believe what you said."

Cui Wenwen also suddenly understood why Ye Wenjun had won Fang Yu’s favor. No matter what he did, Ye Wenjun seemed to believe in him completely. This was certainly not a mere ordinary relationship.

"It’s good that Miss Cui thinks this way. However, now whatever we say is too late. If Madam Wang wants to think that way, there’s nothing I can do. Today I am staying here for the last half-day, just to bid everyone farewell, and then I will leave."

"Leave?"

"Yes, leave. If I continue to stay, it will make things difficult for your Cui Family, and the Wang Family is already in a rage. The matter has reached this point, and saying more is pointless. Since Miss Cui already understands that I am innocent, it’s not a waste for me to have been a Guest Elder of the Cui Family. Wenjun..."

"I’m here."

"Let’s go."

"Mmm."

This is what a couple should be, the husband sings and the wife follows.

Fang Yu and Ye Wenjun didn’t have much with them. The two of them packed up lightly and left the Cui Family with their bags.

Miss Cui wanted to stop them, but the steward kept giving her signals with his eyes.

She watched them leave helplessly.

After all, she was just the daughter of the Cui Family. Though her voice could be heard, it wasn’t strong enough to play a decisive role.

Being able to meet Fang Yu was already her greatest ability.

After they left.

"Miss Cui, you’re really confused. How could you believe someone like that? He just wants to take the opportunity to climb the social ladder," the steward said.

"Climb the social ladder?"

"I’ve always felt there was something insincere about him. From the time he started treating you, he was trying to curry favor with Mr. Cui. Mr. Cui was momentarily foolish to make him a Guest Elder. Now his true colors are revealed, trying to step on the Cui Family to ingratiate himself with the Wang Family. His scheming is deep and undeserving of sympathy."

"But he’s still my lifesaver, isn’t he?"

"One thing has nothing to do with the other. He did treat Miss, but if it weren’t for this matter, how could he still be standing here well? He’d have been thrown into jail long ago and suffered greatly."

Watching the two figures disappear in the distance.

Cui Wenwen did not know whom she should really trust anymore.

"Maybe you’re right."

"Miss, don’t concern yourself with them. It’s good they’re gone; it prevents the Wang Family from coming over and creating more trouble for us. If we kept them here, it would clearly show we’re harboring them."

"Steward Cui, what if, I mean what if what he said is true?"

"This..."

For a moment, not knowing how to respond.

After thinking it over.

"There is no such ’if’."

...

...

Meanwhile.

Mr. Cui went to apologize to the Wang Family.

He also brought along valuable gifts, personally.

The first thing Madam Wang said when she saw Mr. Cui was...

"Mr. Cui, you really have a good eye, raising such an incompetent fool."

"Madam Wang, you’re just teasing me. This is all my fault for being blind. Originally, he saved my daughter, which is why I considered him a person with potential. Later, he helped me Cui Family avoid many troubles. I always thought he was meticulous in his work, smart, and with a remarkable insight."

Mr. Cui continued, "I just didn’t expect him to be so audacious, openly insulting Madam Wang. I am truly sorry."

Madam Wang showed a great deal of agreement with her expression. Then she looked left and right but did not see Fang Yu accompanying him.

"Mr. Cui, I accept your apology. But, where is your Master Fang?"

Mr. Cui was momentarily stunned.

After some thought, he said, "Madam Wang, he’s very stubborn and unwilling to come with me. In consideration of him saving my daughter, I did not compel him. However, I have already ordered his expulsion. From now on, he is no longer a Guest Elder of my Cui Family."

Madam Wang knitted her brows.

She clearly wasn’t satisfied with this response. Madam Wang wanted both of them to come and apologize. Now with one missing, whom could she vent her grievance on?

"I ask Madam Wang to give me some credit. After all, he saved my daughter. Let me personally apologize to you. What do you say?"
