Warm medicine emits fragrance

As the maid walked to the gate of the mansion, several carriages were already parked outside.

The lead vehicle was the most luxurious; the carriage alone was almost the size of an average person's bedroom and required four horsepower to pull it.

At this moment, servants came and went, carrying various items, the most numerous of which were miniature versions of ice mirrors.

As Fan Liuer sighed at the extravagance of this wealthy family's travels, she couldn't help but think that if she were rich in the future, she could probably put a heater in the carriage when she went out in winter, and then she wouldn't be afraid of the cold anymore.

But how much money would one need to squander like that?

Just as she was silently calculating in her mind, the maid led her to the second carriage at the back.

"Madam Fan, get in the carriage."

This carriage was much smaller than the one in front; it was just an ordinary carriage, but it was still better made than those on the market, and it had lanterns with the words "Li Family Mansion" hanging on top.

Fan Liuer carried her bundle into the carriage, where someone was already inside—it was Madam Yang.

Upon seeing her, Madam Yang greeted her calmly, "You've arrived."

Fan Liuer was somewhat afraid of her, so she nodded and responded softly before shrinking into a corner to sit.

Perhaps Yang Niangzi was a little tired, so she ignored her and didn't talk to her. She leaned against the carriage and waited to depart.

Fan Liuer got sleepy as she waited and leaned against the carriage, dozing off.

In a daze, the car started moving, and I could hear the sound of wheels turning.

Fan Liuer yawned, shifted her sitting position, and fell asleep completely.

She didn't know how long she had slept when the car suddenly stopped. With the bumps gone, she woke up instantly.

Just as she was dozing off, there was a knock on the carriage door, and a servant outside called out, "Madam Yang, Madam Yang."

Madam Yang was awakened by the noise and opened the carriage door. "What's wrong?"

Seeing the convoy stop, she guessed what was happening and her expression turned grim. "Has something happened with Second Master?"

The servant nodded hurriedly, "It's too hot today, the ice melts quickly, and the second master can't stand the heat, he's throwing a tantrum right now."

"The younger ones don't dare to persuade them, so please go and try to persuade them, otherwise it will waste time and it will get even hotter when the sun comes out."

Lady Yang quickly lifted her skirt and got out of the carriage.

Fan Liuer was no longer sleepy and poked her head out of the car window to look outside.

At this time, the sky was beginning to lighten, and it looked like dawn was not far away. Not far away, a group of people were standing around, and several of them were fanning the person in the middle.

Perhaps feeling too hot from being surrounded by people, the person impatiently waved for them to disperse.

Fan Liuer rubbed her arms, wondering if it was really that hot.

She also felt that the evening wind was a bit chilly. If she hadn't been worried that Madam Yang would have found it stuffy, she would have closed the carriage windows on the way.

Luckily, she wore an outer garment when she went out, otherwise she would have been chilled by the wind.

I don't understand, I really don't understand.

However, this was not something she should worry about given her status. After glancing at it twice, she looked away and continued to curl up in the corner to sleep.

Madam Yang quickly walked to Li Chenbi's side. "Second Master, it's almost dawn. Please bear with it. We'll arrive in half an hour."

"They've already sent people to prepare, so you can take a bath as soon as you arrive."

Li Chenbi was well aware of this principle, but he simply couldn't bear it any longer and came down to get some fresh air.

A carriage cannot carry as much ice as a house; the amount of ice it can carry is limited, and the temperature cannot be as low as at home.

This already made him uncomfortable. In the middle of the night, the ice melted and the cold air dissipated, making the carriage stuffy and hot. Even opening the doors didn't dissipate the stuffiness.

It's already quite an achievement that he managed to endure this long; if he didn't come down for some fresh air, he would have died of heatstroke inside.

As a result, it was hot. The wind blowing on his body was hot, and not only hot, but now he felt sticky all over and extremely uncomfortable.

Turning his head to look at the carriage, he knew it was impossible to let him get on, so he said in a deep voice, "Bring a horse, I'll ride it."

"Second Master, this is unacceptable!" Li Qiuping immediately advised.

Li Chenbi was an excellent horseman, but that skill was limited to winter. Riding a horse in the summer was a very dangerous thing for Li Chenbi, who was at risk of falling ill from heatstroke at any time.

Li Chenbi felt even hotter, and with a violent expression, he kicked the wheel hub of the carriage behind him. The kick was surprisingly powerful, causing the carriage to shake and startling the horses in front.

Startled, Fan Liuer immediately poked her head out of the car window to look outside.

Lady Yang was also worried. No matter what she chose, it was not to her master's liking. What should she do?

Just as I was getting anxious, I saw a head pop out from the carriage behind me.

Suddenly, a thought struck me.

"Second Master, I have a way to make you feel better temporarily."

Annoyed, Li Chenbi impatiently said, "Hurry up and say it."

Yang Niangzi leaned closer and whispered her thoughts to him.

Li Chenbi found it absurd after hearing this, and glanced at Madam Yang, "Was this a task my mother assigned to you?"

Over the years, Li's mother had been hoping that Li Chenbi would get married and have children, and she tried many ways to put women around him.

Seeing that he didn't believe her, Madam Yang immediately said, "This servant will go and call the person over, so you can verify it for yourself."

Seeing that she looked serious and not like she was faking it, Li Chenbi waved his hand, "Call her over."

He'd give it a shot; as long as he didn't suffer like this, he'd be willing to hug a man, let alone a woman.

Lady Yang hurriedly returned to the carriage at the back.

When Fan Liuer was seen by Madam Yang, she immediately shrank back, feeling nervous and afraid of being caught watching the commotion.

Seeing Yang Niangzi return made me even more uneasy.

Could it be that they've come to interrogate me?

Just as she was about to beg for mercy, Madam Yang plopped down next to her and asked, "Madam Fan, do you want to make money?"

Fan Liuer was a little dizzy, not expecting this to be the first thing she heard. "I think...right?"

Before she could think of anything else, Madam Yang grabbed her hand, which was ice-cold to the touch.

"You know that Second Master is afraid of the heat. Now that there's no ice, he can't stand the heat and can't continue. But you have a special constitution. If you stay by Second Master's side, it might make him feel better."

"Of course, this job won't be for nothing. Second Master is always generous, and your reward will be substantial once you successfully reach the mansion in the city."

"I won't let you stay long, half an hour."

Fan Liuer was even more stunned by these words. After a few seconds of stunned silence, she finally understood the meaning behind them.

"How...how should we treat him?"

Madam Yang glanced at her and said, "Don't overthink it. Second Master is not interested in women and won't do anything to you."

Fan Liuer touched her neck. She hadn't thought too much about it; any normal person would think that way.

Madam Yang was in a hurry and didn't give her time to think it over. She said, "If you agree yourself, you'll get a reward. But if Second Master loses his patience, you'll still have to do the work and won't get the reward."

"This is the middle of nowhere, Madam Fan, you should think it over carefully."

These words were clearly a threat, so how could Fan Liuer dare to refuse?

Spending half an hour by Li Chenbi's side is better than provoking him and having his body dumped in the wilderness.

"Well... okay then."
