Warm medicine emits fragrance

Li Chenbi couldn't possibly say that he was afraid Qi Weiming would reveal his identity outside, so he could only continue to coax him, "I'm afraid he'll launch a sneak attack; it's too easy for him to climb over here."

Fan Liuer thought to herself that this was true; her courtyard wall could only keep out ordinary people, but anyone who knew a little martial arts could easily climb over it.

She got up from Li Chenbi's lap. "Okay, then I'll go pack my luggage."

"Just take your money; I'll have someone come and collect the rest later," Li Chenbi said.

The faster the better. Qi Weiming went back to Xingzhou to handle some business last night. Even if he realizes what's happening and rushes over, it will be afternoon by then.

As long as we leave here before the afternoon, we can keep Qi Weiming at bay.

If he hadn't known that Fan Liuer was reluctant to part with her money, he would have wanted to just take her away.

"Is it in such a hurry?" Fan Liu'er rarely saw Li Chenbi so impatient; he always handled everything with ease in front of her.

This made her a little anxious, and she hurriedly went to get her belongings.

She first ran to the cabinet and dug out a money box from the very bottom. Li Chenbi recognized the money box; it was from there that he had taken the money from when he bought the person.

There wasn't much money in the money box, which surprised Li Chenbi when he saw it.

He assumed that Fan Liuer had made thorough preparations for her escape and must have hidden a considerable sum of money in her pocket before fleeing.

There weren't many at all.

This made him feel a little sad. If he hadn't contacted her, he didn't know how miserable he would have become in the future.

At the same time, they also thought Fan Liuer was foolish; she was about to run away, yet she didn't know how to make more money.

He's not short of money.

Seeing Fan Liuer take out the money box, he stood up, leaning on his cane, and prepared to walk towards the door.

"Wait, there's more." Fan Liuer shoved the money box into his arms, then turned around and rummaged under the bed again.

She was afraid of the cold, so there were four or five layers of cotton quilts on the bed. When she lifted the third layer, she pulled out a gold chain that was as long as an arm from the middle.

Li Chenbi raised an eyebrow slightly.

Then Fan Liuer opened the pillow and pulled out a gold chain from inside.

Li Chenbi: "..."

Just when everyone thought that was the end of it, Fan Liuer bent down and crawled under the bed, reaching in to pull out an oil paper package.

She got up, took the oil paper package, and walked towards Li Chenbi, tearing it open as she went. She pulled out a thick stack of silver notes from it.

Standing in front of Li Chenbi, she opened the money box in his hand, put the silver notes and gold chain inside, and then hugged the money box to her arms.

Li Chenbi suddenly laughed.

Fan Liuer looked up at him. "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." He laughed at himself for worrying for nothing.

He raised his hand and patted Fan Liuer's head, saying, "I just think you're very smart."

Fan Liuer hugged the money box and smiled smugly, "This is called not putting all your eggs in one basket. Even if a thief comes in, he will never expect me to hide the money like this."

Li Chenbi looked at her smug face and this time he really laughed.

He leaned down and kissed her, saying, "How can you be so lovable?"

The sudden kiss made Fan Liuer a little embarrassed. She turned her face away, picked up the money box, and walked towards the door.

"Let's go, aren't you in a hurry?"

Li Chenbi followed with a smile.

Li Qiuping had already made all the arrangements outside the door, just waiting for the two of them to come out.

Fan Liuer stepped out of the threshold first, then turned around and reached out her hand to Li Chenbi.

At the same time, Li Qiuping reached out to help Li Chenbi, but immediately withdrew his hand upon seeing this.

Li Chenbi, with Fan Liuer's hand in his, stepped out of the door, and Li Qiuping quickly went into the house and brought out the wheelchair.

Li Chenbi sat in his wheelchair, and the three of them walked towards the courtyard gate.

There was a carriage waiting outside the courtyard gate. When the three of them came out, several servants immediately placed stools in front of the carriage.

"You go first," Li Chenbi gestured to Fan Liuer.

Fan Liuer held the money box in one hand, lifted her skirt with the other, and stepped onto the stool.

Before I even boarded the carriage, I could hear the rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

Her heart tightened, and she looked over in response. A group of people were galloping towards her on horseback.

"Go in quickly." Li Chenbi's voice sounded from behind, urging him to hurry.

Without him saying anything, Fan Liuer had the same idea. She stepped into the car and reached out to push open the door.

"Fan Liuer! Don't go, don't go with him!" A shout came from behind.

"Hurry up and go in!" Li Chenbi urged again, his voice urgent.

Fan Liuer immediately bent down and crawled inside.

"Give me a ride! Give me a ride!" Li Qiuping's anxious voice came from below.

At the same time, the person's voice sounded again from behind.

"I am your husband, Fan Liuer! I am your husband! I'm not dead! I'm still alive!"

Fan Liuer paused, then turned around to look behind her.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. You go first, I'll come find you later," Li Chenbi said to her, then he looked at Li Qiuping.

"Take her away."

Li Qiuping immediately jumped onto the carriage and tried to push the coachman aside.

"Fan Liuer, when I went to fetch you, the embroidered twin lilies on your veil were missing a petal!" As the voice rang out, the person drew closer.

"Li Qiuping!" Li Chenbi shouted sharply.

The coachman was pushed aside by Li Qiuping, who then snatched the whip and lashed it out.

The horses were startled and immediately took cover.

Fan Liuer snapped out of her daze after hearing those words and immediately said, "Stop the car!"

The wheels turned, and the carriage began to move forward.

Fan Liuer lost her balance and swayed. She quickly grabbed the car door and shouted at Li Chenbi, "Stop the car!"

Li Chenbi glanced at her, said nothing, and turned his wheelchair to block the road, stopping Qi Weiming who was approaching.

"Li Chenbi!" Fan Liuer shouted from behind.

"Li Chenbi!" Qi Weiming, seated on his horse, stared down at Li Chenbi in his wheelchair and gritted his teeth, saying, "Get out of the way!"

A chill ran through Li Chenbi's eyes, and the look in his eyes as he glared at Qi Weiming was one of utter hatred.

"Qi Weiming, I've tolerated you time and time again, not because I can't kill you, but because you insist on courting death, right?"

Qi Weiming tightened his grip on the reins. "I'll tell you the same thing: I won't let you get away with forcibly taking my wife!"

After saying that, he looked up at the departing carriage and prepared to force his way through it.

Just as he was about to crack the whip, the movement suddenly stopped.

Li Chenbi turned around, his pupils contracting instantly.

Fan Liuer felt something was wrong. The man claimed to be her husband, but wasn't her husband dead?

But he also knew that the lily embroidered on her veil was missing a petal.

Only she knows about this.

When her sister-in-law told her that she had betrothed her to someone else, she bought her some cloth and embroidery thread so that she could embroider her own wedding dress.

Fan Liuer was not opposed to the marriage, but she didn't feel any joy either, so she did a sloppy job with the embroidery.

When she got to the veil, there was only one petal left, but she was too lazy to continue. She figured no one would bother to look closely at her veil anyway, so she simply stopped embroidering.

She hadn't told anyone about this. The only people who would know about it, even if it wasn't her drowned husband, would at least be the people who went to fetch the bride.

In addition, Li Chenbi's reaction was also very strange.

His anxious reaction suggested he was very afraid she would run into that person.

She needs to figure out what's going on.

"Stop the car! If you don't stop, I'll jump!" she shouted at Li Qiuping.
