Warm medicine emits fragrance

It was already dark when the group arrived in Xingzhou City.

The gates of the Li residence were already crowded with people, including the old lady, Li Yuhe, Madam Yang, Madam Wang, and some servants that Fan Liuer recognized.

Fan Liuer couldn't help but sigh.

She was afraid that Li Chenbi wouldn't be able to protect her, but unexpectedly, he protected everyone around him, and her previous worries were really unnecessary.

Fan Liuer was a little nervous before getting off the carriage.

She had no idea she would meet so many acquaintances. Everyone must know that she had run away. Now that Li Chenbi had returned in power, she wondered what he would think of her behind her back.

Li Chenbi noticed her nervousness, squeezed her hand, and smiled, "You are my savior now."

Fan Liuer was stunned for a moment. Oh right, she didn't come to Li Chenbi after he gained power. She was Li Chenbi's savior. If it weren't for her, Li Chenbi would have drowned in the river long ago.

Thinking about it this way, she immediately stopped being nervous. In fact, she felt quite pleased with herself.

She was Li Chenbi's savior.

Li Chenbi concealed his laughter and led her out of the carriage.

As he got out of the car, people immediately came over to greet him, but he ignored them, leaned on his cane to get out of the car, and after he steadied himself, he turned around and reached out his hand to Fan Liuer.

Fan Liuer got off the carriage with his help, and when she looked up, she met the old lady's face.

The old lady's feelings were somewhat complicated when she faced Fan Liuer.

At first, she thought Fan Liuer was sensible, but later she thought she was scheming. She was even a little happy when she found out that Fan Liuer had run away. But when she saw that Li Chenbi's condition had worsened because of her and he was suffering day and night, she began to resent Fan Liuer.

But not long ago, someone reported that Li Chenbi had been rescued by Fan Liuer. She was relieved that Fan Liuer had run away at the time, which allowed her to save Li Chenbi by chance.

Now, when she sees people, she doesn't know what expression to make.

Fan Liuer was also a little embarrassed. She had put on a show of being a shrew and domineering in front of the old lady in order to cooperate with Li Chenbi. Presumably, in the old lady's eyes, she really was that kind of person.

However, Li Chenbi did not give the two time to feel awkward. While they were wondering how to start the conversation, he said to the old lady, "Let's go inside. I'm tired and need to rest."

The old lady immediately instructed the servants to bring the person into the house.

The happiest person was Li Yuhe, who stood behind the old lady and kept trying to strike up a conversation with Fan Liuer, but she couldn't find an opportunity.

The crowd then headed towards the mansion. She went up to Fan Liuer and took her hand, saying, "Madam Fan, you're finally back."

Facing Li Yuhe, Fan Liuer felt much more at ease and smiled at her, saying, "It's been half a year since I last saw you, Yuhe, you've become even more beautiful."

Li Yuhe's smile widened, "You too, you're getting prettier and prettier."

The two talked the whole way, with Li Yuhe constantly asking Fan Liuer about what had happened recently. Fan Liuer told her only what she could.

Soon the group arrived at Beiyuan and entered the house where Fan Liuer had previously lived.

A servant pushed open the door, and Li Chenbi led Fan Liuer into the room. Li Yuhe wanted to follow, but Li Chenbi stopped her outside the door, saying, "It's getting late, we should rest."

Li Yuhe blushed and quickly retreated, "Okay, then I won't disturb Second Uncle and Madam Fan's rest."

After saying that, she was still reluctant to leave, and stood at the door calling out to Fan Liuer, "Madam Fan, may I come to see you tomorrow?"

Fan Liuer nodded, "Of course."

Li Yuhe then left satisfied.

After seeing Li Yuhe off, Li Chenbi instructed his servants to prepare water, and at the same time said to Fan Liuer, "You treat her quite well."

Fan Liuer stood in the room, looking at the familiar furnishings, feeling deeply moved, and replied to Li Chenbi, "Miss Yuhe is such a kind person."

Li Chenbi hugged her from behind, "So, I haven't been good to you?"

Fan Liuer turned to look at him, and their eyes met.

After exchanging glances with her, Li Chenbi lowered his eyes, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said weakly, "Say something I like to hear, don't upset me, I've been quite frightened these past two days."

"Hello to you too," Fan Liuer said.

Li Chenbi raised his eyes and looked at Fan Liuer.

Fan Liuer felt a little embarrassed by his gaze and looked away, saying, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Something's not right with you." Li Chenbi reached out and pinched her cheek.

Fan Liuer winced in pain and removed his hand. "Something's not right."

"Haven't you always felt that I haven't treated you well?"

Fan Liuer frowned. "Don't make things up. I've never said you're bad to me. I just said you have some flaws."

"Just some? Hearing you say that makes me feel like I'm completely worthless."

"Haven't I said anything good about you? You only remember when I said bad things about you, don't you?"

"So you only remember the bad things I did for you? Why don't you ever think about the good things I did for you?"

"That's just how that person is; they always hold grudges."

The two started arguing again. Li Qiuping, who was outside the house, shook his head and said to the servants outside the door, "Go in only when the master calls you. If the master doesn't let you in, no matter what noises you hear inside, don't go in, understand?"

The servants immediately nodded.

Li Qiuping was also tired, so he went back to his residence after giving his instructions.

Fan Liuer argued with Li Chenbi for a few minutes, but in the end, she couldn't win the argument, so she could only glare at him.

Li Chenbi initially glared at her, but after a while he laughed, pulled her into his arms, and lowered his head to bite her.

The bite left two obvious teeth marks on Fan Liuer's cheek.

Fan Liuer winced in pain and reached out to slap him, "Why did you bite me? It hurts so much!"

Li Chenbi let her hit him, holding her tightly, his lips gently pecking at the spot where he had bitten her. "I love you so much, I want to eat you up, so you won't run away again."

Upon hearing this, Fan Liuer lowered her hand, her face slightly flushed, and muttered softly, "You're really scary."

Li Chenbi chuckled softly, his lips slowly moving over to hers, prying open her lips, and slowly devouring her.

After waiting for half a year, Li Chenbi kissed her gently this time, with sincerity and tenderness, unlike his previous forceful and domineering kisses.

He had one arm around Fan Liuer's waist and the other hand on the back of her head, pressing his body down on her.

He pressed harder and harder until there was no gap between them, then he suddenly stopped and looked down.

"What is this?"

Fan Liuer was still dazed from Li Chenbi's kisses and followed his gaze downwards, her mind still reeling.

"What?"

Li Chenbi reached out and touched Fan Liuer's arm, which was sandwiched between the two of them, and pulled something out of her sleeve.

Fan Liuer then remembered that she had one of these hidden in her sleeve.

"This is mine!" She immediately reached out and snatched it, hiding it behind her back.

Li Chenbi didn't have time to see it clearly, but the shape of the thing gave him some clues.

"You got it in the grave?"
