Warm medicine emits fragrance

"I'm looking around to see if there are any suitable houses nearby."

Fan Liuer thought this place was nice. It wasn't in the town center, far from the market, and there weren't many residents around, so the environment was quite quiet. She had noticed that the residents were all very kind as she walked along the way. Plus, Feng Ji and Si Qing were also here, and it wasn't far from her third uncle and aunt's house. It was a good place for her to live.

Feng Xu laughed upon hearing this, "You'll have to ask me about this; I know this area best."

As he spoke, he pointed to a shop just two storefronts away from Feng Ji's shop, "That shop has the same layout as Feng Ji's. The outside is a shop, and the inside is a residence. It was originally a tavern, but in this world, everyone is struggling to make ends meet, so where would they get the spare money to drink? The tavern couldn't stay open, and the original owner planned to sell the house and go back to his hometown."

He looked at Fan Liuer, "If you're interested, I'll take you to see it?"

"Okay."

Feng Xu led Fan Liuer to knock on the door of the shop. A middle-aged woman opened the door and, after hearing their purpose, warmly led Fan Liuer to look around the shop.

Fan Liuer was very satisfied with the house. There was a small courtyard behind the shop, with a well in the middle, making it convenient to get water. The courtyard had a separate entrance and exit, so even if she didn't know what to do with the shop in the future and rented it out, it wouldn't affect her access.

There is a river behind the house, and you can see the river view as soon as you open the bedroom window. There is also plenty of sunshine, and the sunlight shines in through the window, making you feel warm and cozy.

Everything about it suited Fan Liuer's taste perfectly, and she took a liking to it at first sight.

After learning that she was interested in the house, Feng Ji and Si Qing took turns negotiating the price with the landlord, and finally settled on a price that satisfied both parties.

The original homeowners packed their bags and moved out that same day, making room for Fan Liuer.

Feng Xu originally wanted Fan Liuer to stay at his house for a few more days, but Fan Liuer declined because she felt it was inconvenient. So Feng Xu pushed the cart in his house and took Fan Liuer to the market to buy a lot of daily necessities.

The house has always been inhabited, and the original owner was a clean person, so there's no need to clean it anymore. Just buy some bedding and quilts, lay them down, and you can move in directly.

To express her gratitude for everyone's help and care, Fan Liuer booked a table of delicious food at a restaurant in town that evening and treated Feng Xu's family and Feng Jisiqing to a meal.

After a hearty meal, Feng Xu and his family left. Si Qing helped the drunken Feng Ji back home. Fan Liuer stood in the courtyard, looking at the mess on the table, but she was in a very good mood.

She finally has a home of her own.

From now on, I will never have to live at the mercy of others, never have to please anyone, and never have to worry about being kicked out.

Once things are more stable, she will adopt a girl, raise her to adulthood, and then find a son-in-law to give her a few grandchildren. At that time, she will be the matriarch of the family, and everyone in the house will have to listen to her.

Thinking of this, Fan Liuer felt that there was great hope for the future.

Touching her chin, she thought that she wouldn't be in a hurry to adopt a child; she needed to see whether Siqing would have a boy or a girl in the future.

If Siqing wants to have a boy, she'll adopt a daughter. If Siqing wants to have a girl, she'll adopt a boy, and then they'll arrange a marriage between them.

Hey, that way she won't have to worry about others bullying her and her child.

Yes, that's a fantastic idea!

Overjoyed by the thought, Fan Liuer stood in the courtyard and secretly chuckled to herself.

She was laughing happily on one side, while the atmosphere on the other side was completely the opposite.

The air pressure inside the room was extremely low. The room, filled with ice crystals, was already cold, and with Li Chenbi's gloomy face, it felt like being in the dead of winter.

"A bunch of useless trash!" Li Chenbi kicked over an ice jar in the center of the room. The heavy ice jar crashed to the ground with a thud, and the ice inside spilled out, immediately soaking a large area of ​​the floor tiles.

Li Qiuping hid to the side, not daring to utter a sound.

Li Chenbi stood amidst the scattered ice, glaring at the people kneeling before him: "Four months! Not a single word. Even a dead person should have some news by now. What are you all doing?"

The man kneeling at the front prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to raise his head. "My lord, we have indeed done our best. We have searched every town and village around Xingzhou City, but no one has seen Lady Fan."

"Heh..." Li Chenbi's anger subsided at these words. "No one has ever seen it..."

"A living, breathing person, can't just disappear into thin air, can they?"

Upon hearing this, the people on the ground dared not speak again. Everyone knew that this Second Master Li was now a favorite of General Yan. In the previous four months, he had advised General Yan and won many battles. Now, in Xingzhou City, his status was second only to General Yan.

If General Yan were to one day conquer the world, then he...

Anyone who dares to offend him is a man who is even more ruthless and decisive than General Yan.

Unable to get the answer he wanted, Li Chenbi was so angry that his blood was churning and his fever was showing signs of recurring.

He tilted his head back and took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down and avoid triggering a fever due to excessive emotions.

Li Qiuping then stepped forward and waved to the people on the ground, "Get down, all of you, get down."

The person on the ground hurriedly got up and, not daring to delay for a moment, disappeared into the house in a flash, leaving the house empty in the blink of an eye.

Li Qiuping had someone remove the spilled ice cream and replace it with a new one, while also brewing a cup of cold tea and handing it to Li Chenbi.

"Sir, have some tea to calm your temper. The doctor said you mustn't get angry right now."

Li Chenbi took the tea, tilted his head back and drank it down in one gulp. The cool liquid flowed down his throat and into his stomach, suppressing some of the heat in his body.

But that's still not enough.

"Prepare water, I need to take a bath." He needed to soak in ice water at this moment, otherwise it would be difficult to suppress the heat in his body.

Li Qiuping immediately ordered people to prepare. It was already summer, and ice was always readily available in the mansion for Li Chenbi's use.

Soon the bathtub was filled with water mixed with ice, and Li Qiuping was kicked out after sending Li Chenbi into the bathroom.

He stood outside the bathroom door, looking at the familiar scene outside, and could only sigh at the cruel twist of fate.

After going around in circles, they ended up back at the Li residence.

In Li Chenbi's original plan, he never intended to participate in the war. He had arranged everything for himself and was just waiting for the war to end so he could continue his business and live a peaceful life.

But I didn't expect Fan Liuer to run away, and to run away so thoroughly.

In order to use the rebel army's strength to find Fan Liuer's whereabouts, Li Chenbi had no choice but to seek refuge with General Yan, offering him advice and binding himself to the rebel army's ship.

With Li Chenbi's help, General Yan returned the Li family mansion to Li Chenbi.

Four months have passed. Not to mention the area around Xingzhou Prefecture, every place the rebels have been searched inside and out. It can be said that the entire south has been searched.

There was no news of Fan Liuer.

Even if she's dead, there should be some news, right? But there was none. After Fan Liuer ran away, she seemed to have vanished without a trace, and no one had seen her.

Even Li Qiuping couldn't help but sigh.

This Lady Fan is really something else.
