Warm medicine emits fragrance

"Isn't it alright?" Li Chenbi still didn't relax.

Fan Liuer immediately understood what this person meant and begged for mercy, "Second Master, I know I was wrong. I will never be stubborn again. Please forgive me."

Her hands were almost numb.

Li Chenbi then released her.

Now that she was free, Fan Liuer wanted to reach out and pinch her arm. The poor blood circulation made her arm numb, and now it was sore and numb, which was quite uncomfortable.

But she dared not move.

After hesitating for a moment, she spoke in a low voice, "Second Master, may I... rub it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large, warm hand landed on her arm, squeezing it with a slightly heavy hand, making her wince involuntarily. But the effect was good; the soreness and numbness in her arm quickly disappeared.

It felt somewhat comfortable; her body was enveloped in a warm, cozy temperature, which also made her feel a little hot.

Heat was a completely unfamiliar experience for Fan Liuer. All her years of life, her experience with temperature was limited to just right, a little cold, cold, very cold, extremely cold.

Now that she's feeling hot, instead of making her uncomfortable, she's actually feeling a bit sleepy in this sweltering heat.

If she hadn't felt that scrutinizing gaze fixed on her, and if the fact that her master was personally massaging her hadn't made her so terrified, she might have actually fallen asleep.

"Okay...okay, thank you, Second Master." As soon as the soreness and numbness in her arm disappeared, she immediately spoke.

But Li Chenbi did not stop. He looked down at the person in his arms, feeling the strength in his hands, and felt curious.

How could there be a human body that suits his taste so well?

It felt comfortable to the touch, and it was also comfortable to massage him. Once he started doing this service, he was reluctant to let go.

It feels so good just to squeeze, if only...

Li Chenbi was born into a privileged class; he could get whatever he wanted simply by reaching out, without having to think too much.

Holding the soft flesh in his hand, he suddenly spoke: "Fan Liuer."

Fan Liuer tensed up at his call and immediately replied, "Yes."

"A woman from Ancheng County in the north, aged twenty, encountered misfortune on her way to her wedding. Her husband drowned, and his family had no relatives."

Fan Liuer nodded gently, "Yes."

"Then why don't you go back to your parents' home?"

Fan Liuer didn't know why this person had suddenly become interested in her, but she dared not hide it and told the truth: "My elder brother and sister-in-law at home don't like me. If I go back, I don't know who they will marry me off to."

As she spoke, she turned her face slightly toward Li Chenbi, but still did not look up. Her voice was low and slow, "Rather than being sold like an object, I would rather support myself than be at the mercy of others."

"The generous pay in the mansion completely dispelled my thoughts of getting married. I only hope to work in the mansion for a long time and save up some money for my retirement."

After saying this, she pondered for a moment. Her words praised the Li family's generosity while also expressing her sincerity and future plans.

I suppose this gentleman won't make things too difficult for me?

These words did indeed make Li Chenbi feel comfortable. The person in his arms not only looked to his liking and had a body to his liking, but was also quite smart and knew how to assess the situation and what to say at what time.

He released his grip on her arm and instead pinched her chin.

Without the obstruction of clothing, the smooth skin appears even more supple.

With a slight lift of her wrist, without any resistance, the face appeared before her.

His eyes were still downcast.

"Why don't you dare look at me?" he asked.

Is he that scary-looking?

Fan Liuer couldn't understand why this person kept asking such questions when he clearly didn't like others looking at him.

Are they deliberately making things difficult for her?

Suppressing her inner speculation, she whispered, "I've heard that Second Master doesn't like being seen."

This obedient and docile appearance made Li Chenbi feel a little itchy, as if he had been tickled.

After stroking her chin a few times with his fingertips, he wasn't satisfied. He slid his fingertips down to cup her cheek with his whole palm, and his fingertips touched her earlobe.

"I'll show you, so look."

This feeling of being controlled made Fan Liuer panic, fearing that her reaction would not be to the other party's liking, so that hand grabbed her neck.

Without hesitation, I immediately opened my eyes and looked up at the person above.

What came into view was a pair of deep eyes. Unlike the fierce and menacing figure she had imagined, these eyes did not carry much danger.

Fan Liuer was frail from a young age, which gave her a greater sense of crisis than others. When she encountered danger, she could always sense it instinctively.

The person in front of him was certainly not safe, but at least for now, there was no murderous intent in his eyes.

This proves that her life is temporarily safe.

I breathed a huge sigh of relief.

But I didn't dare stare at it for too long; I'd glance at it once and then immediately look away.

"Finished watching?" His voice came from above again.

Fan Liuer replied softly, "I've finished reading it."

"how?"

Fan Liuer was stunned. Why did she have to answer such a question?

She only glanced at it briefly, looking only at the eyes, and didn't dare to look at the rest carefully.

At this point, he could only bite the bullet and answer, "Second Master is naturally handsome and dashing, incomparably beautiful, and peerless."

These words should be fine, right?

"Really? Then tell me, what makes him handsome? Where is he handsome?"

Fan Liuer realized that this person was making things difficult for her. Who would ask such a question after someone has praised them?

Now she dared not speak carelessly anymore. She hadn't even seen clearly just now. What if she praised someone indiscriminately and made a mistake?

She bit her lip and remained silent for a long time.

A low hum came from above, "Since you can't say it, then watch it again."

"This time I looked carefully and thoroughly."

Fan Liuer didn't dare to delay and immediately opened her eyes again to look at that face once more.

This time she looked very carefully, from his hairline to his eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, and then to his chin.

I examined every part of him carefully, and now I can even see clearly how many moles are on his face.

"How is it?" The thin lips in front of him parted slightly, posing the same question again.

Fan Liuer was now full of confidence. "Second Master is indeed incomparably handsome. There is not a single unattractive feature on his face. He has a full forehead, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a high nose bridge, thin and well-shaped lips, and even the red mole below the corner of his mouth has a unique charm."

This time she wasn't lying at all; this Second Master Li was indeed excessively handsome.

Anyway, it's much prettier than she thought.

"Looks like you're quite satisfied." Li Chenbi pinched her cheek.

It hurt slightly, but Fan Liuer suppressed her displeasure and nodded.

He's the master, so whatever he says is right.

"Then are you willing to come with me? From now on, you will no longer stay in the Li family as a wet nurse, but as my concubine. I will give you a separate courtyard in the north wing and a monthly allowance of twenty taels of silver."

Fan Liuer's eyes widened slowly, especially when she heard that it was twenty taels a month, her eyes widened even more.
