Warm medicine emits fragrance

Siqing also felt sorry for Li Yuhe. A rich girl, yet her life was even harder than that of the servants.

"Alright, then you go and keep your young lady company first. I'll go back and tell Madam Fan right away."

Shimo said gratefully, "Then I'll trouble you, Sister Siqing."

"Oh, don't say it's troublesome, go and check on your young lady."

Shi Mo thanked her profusely and left, while Si Qing quickened her pace and walked towards the North Courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was stopped by Li Qiuping.

In the back garden, Qi Weiming sat in a courtyard, his eyes fixed on the entrance, not daring to blink, for fear of missing something.

As time passed, he grew increasingly anxious. If he could stand up now, he would definitely go to the entrance to take a look.

Could something have gone wrong?

The moment the thought crossed his mind, a figure appeared at the entrance.

He was overjoyed, but the smile on his face froze before it could fully form.

The newcomer was tall and wore a long, dark robe. His gaze was sharp and menacing even from afar.

His heart tightened. Why was it Li Chenbi who came?

Could it be that Li Chenxin's plan has failed?

Sure enough, he shouldn't have believed Li Chenxin. What good ideas could a fool who has been suppressed by his younger brother for so many years come up with!

Li Chenbi walked into the courtyard, stood in front of him, looked down at him, and didn't say anything.

Qi Weiming cleared his throat and smiled. "You must be Master Li the Second. I've long admired your name. Meeting you today, I can confirm that you are indeed as renowned as the rumors suggest."

Li Chenbi had no time for wasting words with him. If it weren't for the sensitive nature of this man's identity, he would have been dead by the time he learned of his plans with Li Chenxin.

"Stop pretending, I know you want to see her."

Qi Weiming's smile froze, but quickly returned to normal. "Hehehe, what are you saying, Second Master? I don't understand."

"I came here today at your invitation, sir. I heard that your residence has beautiful scenery, so I came out to take a stroll and get some fresh air."

Li Chenbi didn't respond to his words, but looked at him with a mocking gaze.

It's like looking at an idiot.

The atmosphere instantly fell silent, and Qi Weiming could no longer pretend to be stupid.

Li Chenbi then spoke: "Young Master Qi, we have no grudges or conflicts of interest, so I don't want to make things difficult for you. But please be more discreet in your actions in the future, and never entertain any thoughts of things you shouldn't touch."

"If there is a next time, I don't know if I will be able to speak to you as politely as I do now."

Having said all that, Qi Weiming knew that if he didn't find out her background today, he might never have another chance.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "Second Master, I've already taken this beating, you can't just let me suffer for nothing, can you? I'll only ask you one question, and I'll leave once I get the answer."

Li Chenbi nodded, signaling him to ask.

Qi Weiming: "She... comes from a county in the north called Ji'an."

As soon as he said this, Li Chenbi's expression visibly darkened.

Qi Weiming's eyes also darkened.

Sure enough it was her.

It really was her!

She's not dead!

A surge of boiling passion rose within him, burning his eyes until they turned red.

Until a cold voice rang in his ears, extinguishing that surge of passion.

"Who exactly are you?"

Qi Weiming suppressed his excitement and looked at him, "Second Master, haven't you already guessed my identity?"

Li Chenbi gritted his teeth, feeling as if the person in front of him was a thorn in his eye.

He had investigated Fan Liuer's background very thoroughly. Apart from her elder brother and sister-in-law, she had no other relatives, not to mention that she was from the South.

Even if they had, they should have seen her before and recognized her at a glance.

The man in front of her recognized her, but wasn't sure if it was her.

This indicates that the two spent some time together, but never saw each other's faces.

Aside from Fan Liuer's husband, who died before they even met, who else could meet these criteria?

Her husband...

Li Chenbi laughed in exasperation.

Fate really knows how to play tricks on him, giving him such a huge gift.

So what? She's in his hands now. Who cares about being a husband or not? Even if the King of Heaven himself came, Fan Liuer would still be his.

Her husband could only be Li Chenbi.

The smile in his eyes faded, replaced by a hint of ruthlessness. He looked at Qi Weiming with a sharp and aggressive aura that felt like a knife scraping against him.

"I don't care who you are or what your status is, you just need to remember her current identity."

"Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to let someone who should have died die again."

Qi Weiming was provoked by his words, "Li Chenbi, so what if you don't admit it? Even if you don't admit it, she is still my lawfully wedded wife!"

The word "wife" completely enraged Li Chenbi. He reached out and grabbed Qi Weiming by the neck, his fingers tightening.

Qi Weiming was injured and unable to break free from his restraint. His breathing was obstructed, and his face turned red from suffocation.

He grabbed Li Chenbi's hands with both hands, trying to break free, but to no avail. The pressure on his neck not only did not lessen, but actually intensified.

Just when he thought he was doomed to die today, Li Chenbi loosened his grip and let him go.

He leaned back in his wheelchair, panting heavily, his chest heaving violently, and a bellows-like sound coming from his throat.

Li Chenbi withdrew his hand, clenched his fist and put it behind his back. The veins on the back of his hand were still visible, showing that his anger had not subsided.

"We are already husband and wife, and she is pregnant with my child. Soon I will marry her and she will become my wife, Li Chenbi. Are you sure you want to disrupt her current peace?"

"Or do you think you can give her a better life?"

"Young Master Qi, if you truly care about her, then don't ruin her life for your own selfish desires."

After saying that, Li Chenbi turned and left.

He was afraid that if he waited any longer, he would kill the man.

How dare she call herself her husband? Who does he think he is!

Damn!

Li Chenbi left in a fit of rage, while Qi Weiming leaned back in his chair, only regaining his senses from the suffocating dizziness a while after Li Chenbi left.

Li Chenbi's words came to mind again.

Li Chenbi is right. He is currently on a mission and cannot even guarantee his own future. He might die on the battlefield one day.

And then... how can we give her a better life?

Although they were husband and wife in name, they were never husband and wife in reality, and they had never even met. To this day, she still doesn't know what her former husband looks like.

They were separated by a twist of fate, and when they met again, she was with someone else and had another man's child.

Perhaps this is what they mean by being destined to meet but not to be together?

His eyes glistened with tears as he gazed at the hazy scenery before him, silently comforting himself.

Never mind, as long as she's doing well, that's the best news.

At least she's still alive and well, isn't she?

In this way, he can focus on pursuing his future without worry.
