Warm medicine emits fragrance

He held Fan Liuer in his arms and asked, "Are you planning to do something good?"

Fan Liuer thought for a moment and shook her head slightly, "It's not really like that. I'd be reluctant to do it even if I had to pay out of my own pocket. If I could do it without losing money, then I'd be willing to do it."

"Can you calculate for me whether I'll lose money? How much will I lose?"

"In the short term, it will definitely require a lot of money. Not to mention the cost of training these people to learn various skills, just taking care of their food, drink and other necessities will cost a sum of money every month. But in the long run, it is not something that cannot be done."

After Li Chenbi finished speaking, he added, "If you want to do good deeds, then do them. Even if you lose money, so what? It's not like I can't afford to lose that much money. You don't need to think about it so much."

Fan Liuer stared at him, "Didn't you say you'd give me all your money? Since it's all my money now, I'll feel bad if you do it at a loss."

Li Chenbi chuckled, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "Fan Liuer, you're really stingy."

"Since you're so stingy, I'll have to plan this out for you properly. Not only will you not lose money, you'll actually make money. How about it?"

Fan Liuer was naturally thrilled to be able to make money while doing good deeds, and immediately became interested, asking, "How do I do it?"

Li Chenbi released her, rolled over and lay flat on the tatami mat. "It's too hot. It's so hot that I don't have any thoughts for the time being."

Fan Liuer had been with Li Chenbi for so long, how could she not understand what he meant by those words?

She had high expectations for this matter; since she needed someone's help, she really had to show some sincerity.

She pursed her lips, leaned closer, snuggled into Li Chenbi's arms, and planted a kiss on his lips.

"Why don't you move down here from now on? It won't be so hot then."

Having succeeded, Li Chenbi could no longer restrain himself. He wrapped his arms around Fan Liuer's waist, turned sideways and pressed Fan Liuer down beneath him, biting her lips.

This kiss was just as passionate as the previous one. Li Chenbi kissed lower and lower until he finally buried his face in Yun's, panting as he abruptly stopped.

Fan Liuer was stunned by his kiss, her eyes glistening with tears as she stared at him.

Li Chenbi propped himself up, covered her eyes with one hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't look at me like that."

Otherwise, he might not have been able to resist.

After saying that, he sat up, his back to Fan Liuer, and said, "You should go back first. I'll sort out your thoughts tonight and then tell you."

Fan Liuer didn't dare to stay here any longer. Not to mention Li Chenbi, she herself had almost lost her composure just now.

After tidying her hair and clothes, she hurriedly got out of bed and headed for the door.

She had only taken two steps when Li Chenbi grabbed her from behind, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her for a while before reluctantly letting go: "Wait for me at home."

Fan Liuer didn't dare to turn around, nodded, and quickly left.

Li Chenbi, leaning on his cane, followed her to the door. He leaned against the threshold and watched Li Qiuping escort her away, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips.

A quarter of an hour later, at General Yan's place.

"General, Lord Li requests an audience," a servant reported.

Yan Qi put down the book in his hand, stood up, and said, "Let him in."

Li Chenbi stumbled inside, and Yan Qi emerged from behind his desk. "Why are you here at this hour?"

It was noon, and Li Chenbi would never leave his house at this time unless it was something extremely important.

"I'm here to ask for leave."

"Are you asking for leave?" Yan Qi asked, puzzled. "What do you need to do with your leave?"

"Something came up at home."

"Is something the matter?" Yan Qi was even more puzzled. "Didn't your wife come by earlier? Why didn't she mention it?"

"A servant just came to report that my mother is unwell, and I need to go back to see her," Li Chenbi said calmly.

Yan Qi nodded upon hearing this, "Then it is indeed time to go back and take a look. Go ahead." With that, he turned around and handed a stack of official documents to Li Chenbi, "Take these back and read them."

Li Chenbi took the official document and said, "Thank you, General."

Fan Liuer had just arrived at the entrance of the North Courtyard when she saw Li Yuhe coming out of the courtyard.

Upon seeing her, Li Yuhe immediately ran over, "Auntie, you're back!"

Fan Liuer smiled and said, "I had some business to attend to outside the manor today and forgot to ask the servants to let you know. You almost made a wasted trip."

Li Yuhe's expression was strange.

Fan Liuer noticed and took her hand, asking, "What's wrong?"

Li Yuhe looked at her and whispered, "I didn't come to play with you; my grandmother sent me to find you."

Fan Liuer was taken aback when she heard this. Almost ten days had passed since she returned to the Li residence. Apart from seeing the old lady at the gate of the residence on the day she returned, the two of them had not seen each other in the past few days.

She didn't send anyone to find Fan Liuer, and Fan Liuer, knowing that she didn't like her, didn't go to her either. The two of them lived peacefully without disturbing each other.

Fan Liuer was a little apprehensive when the old lady suddenly sent Li Yuhe to find her.

"Do you know why?" she asked Li Yuhe in a low voice.

Li Yuhe took her hand and gently comforted her, "Auntie, don't worry. Grandmother has actually accepted you, but she's too ashamed to take the initiative to find you. So today, she used the excuse of not feeling well to ask me to ask Second Uncle to come and see her."

"But Second Uncle leaves early every morning and doesn't return until dark. Everyone in the mansion knows that. She asked me to come to the North Courtyard to call someone. Who else could she be calling but you?"

"She just wants to ease the tension between you."

Hearing Li Yuhe say this, Fan Liuer felt a little relieved.

She thought it was another offer of money to get her to leave Li Chenbi.

She didn't know what to say then that Li Chenbi had given her all his wealth, fearing it would upset the old lady.

Fan Liuer felt a little relieved, but not completely at ease. On the way to the west courtyard with Li Yuhe, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

No sooner had Fan Liuer gone to the west courtyard than Li Chenbi arrived at the gate of the mansion.

He rushed back to the North Courtyard, but found no one there. His face immediately darkened, and he asked the servants in the North Courtyard.

"Where is Madam?"

Fan Liuer was summoned away before she even returned to the North Courtyard, and the servants there never saw her come back.

"Reporting to Master, Madam has not returned since she went out today."

Upon hearing this, Li Chenbi's expression darkened further, and he turned and walked out.

Li Qiuping hurriedly followed, "Master, don't worry, I'll go ask if Madam's carriage has returned yet."

As soon as the two reached the entrance of the north courtyard, the servant guarding the courtyard saw Li Chenbi rush in and then burst out angrily a moment later. Guessing what had happened, he immediately said, "Master, I just saw Madam leave with this Miss Yuhe."

Li Chenbi stopped and turned to look at him. "Which direction did you go?"

"West Courtyard".

Li Chenbi nodded and took another step away.

Li Qiuping took out a piece of silver and tossed it to a servant before chasing after him, saying, "Master, please slow down. Your foot isn't fully healed yet."

Li Chenbi knew in his heart that his mother would no longer make things difficult for Fan Liuer.

But he was afraid that his mother might say something wrong and make Fan Liuer want to back out.

He had finally managed to hold her soft, fragrant body in his arms, and before he could even warm her up, he couldn't afford to make the slightest mistake.
