Warm medicine emits fragrance

"We need to choose a name, but what should we pick?" Fan Liuer asked, leaning against the bed and stroking her chin.

Li Chenbi wrapped his arms around her waist and abdomen, his face pressed comfortably against her waist. Hearing this, he slowly said, "Take whatever you want."

"That's why I asked you, because I didn't know."

"Then let's call it Qingliu Anyi Hall."

Fan Liuer understood the meaning and looked down at the person pressed against her abdomen. "Isn't this name a bit inappropriate?"

It looks like a declaration of love.

"How can one be unconventional? Only by learning a skill can one secure a livelihood."

Fan Liuer knew that this person was deliberately misinterpreting her meaning, and she said irritably, "Why not call me Qingbi, Qingchen, or Qingli?"

Li Chenbi raised his face, "This is your business, how can you put my name on it?"

Fan Liuer was pleased by the phrase "your business".

And so the name was decided.

Fan Liuer took this matter very seriously. Even though Li Chenbi had arranged everything properly and there were people specifically assigned to handle everything, she still went to An Yi Hall every day after class, taking Si Qing with her.

She had to be involved in everything, big or small.

When recruiting homeless and impoverished children, Fan Liuer went in person and even asked Li Chenbi to prepare several test questions to assess the children's character.

Fan Liuer didn't think she was doing a good deed. She was doing it with the idea of ​​making money as much as possible and didn't want to cause trouble for herself, so she was extra careful in choosing the people to work with.

Those who are older and have an overly unruly and vicious nature should be rejected.

It's too difficult to correct a child that old. She's not a savior of suffering; she just wants to give this opportunity to those who are kind-hearted and willing to live a good life on their own.

The first batch selected more than twenty children, twelve girls and eight boys, the youngest being only five years old and the oldest thirteen.

Some of these children didn't even have names, so Fan Liuer personally chose names for them, assigned rooms and changes of clothes, and only left after all the students were settled.

Siqing stayed. She is now one of the accountants and managers of An Yitang, and she moved here directly.

She moved in, and Feng Jigen naturally followed, which added another layer of protection to An Yitang's security.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed since An Yitang officially began teaching.

On the day of the Beginning of Autumn, the old lady gave Fan Liuer and Li Yuhe a day off. Li Yuhe invited her close friends to go out for a trip and invited Fan Liuer as well.

Fan Liuer declined, as she wanted to visit An Yitang to see how the children were doing in class.

Arriving at Anyitang by carriage, Fan Liuer saw Qi Weiming lingering at the entrance as soon as she got off.

"Lord Qi?" she asked in surprise.

Qi Weiming looked over when he heard the voice, and upon seeing her, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He jogged over and said, "Liu'er."

Fan Liuer had gotten used to being called that by Qi Weiming before, and didn't think anything of it then, but now that she had accepted Li Chenbi, she felt a little uncomfortable when Qi Weiming called her that again.

"Lord Qi, please call me by my full name from now on."

Upon hearing this, Qi Weiming's smile vanished instantly, replaced by deep hurt in his eyes as he looked at Fan Liuer.

"Have you decided to marry him?"

Fan Liuer nodded, "Yes, we will get married once the war has stabilized."

As she spoke, Fan Liuer sighed softly, "Lord Qi, it is fate that our marriage will not come to pass. You will meet a girl who is more suitable for you."

Qi Weiming looked at her without saying a word, his expression making it hard for anyone to bear to look at him.

Fan Liuer couldn't bear to look at him anymore. Just as she was about to say goodbye and leave, Qi Weiming finally spoke.

"Then let's wait until I meet someone more suitable. I won't give up until I do. As long as you're not married, I won't give up."

As he spoke, he felt it wasn't enough, so he added, "Li Chenbi has such a bad temper, even if you get married, you might not be able to live well. If you ever change your mind, I'll come and take you away anytime."

After saying that, he didn't give Fan Liuer a chance to refuse and turned to leave.

Fan Liuer watched his departing figure, feeling both helpless and touched.

Her feelings for Qi Weiming were complicated; they weren't romantic love, nor were they just friends, but she felt a sense of security when she was with him.

Qi Weiming brought her here from her home, and to her, he was like family.

With a soft sigh, she lifted her skirt and entered An Yi Hall.

She had to leave An Yitang after only a short while. She needed to return to the Li residence before lunch to retrieve the medicinal decoction, then prepare the medicine and have someone deliver it to Li Chenbi at the prefect's residence.

As soon as she came out of An Yitang, she found that the carriage she had come in was gone, and a familiar carriage was parked outside.

Li Qiuping stood in front of the carriage and smiled at her, "Madam, the master took leave this afternoon and came to pick you up."

Fan Liuer didn't think much of it and got into the carriage.

Although it was already the beginning of autumn, the power of the late summer heat should not be underestimated, and Li Chenbi's carriage was still as cold as ever.

Fan Liuer's health has improved a lot recently, and she is not as afraid of the cold as before, but she still can't stand this temperature. As soon as she entered the carriage, she threw herself into Li Chenbi's arms, burrowing into his arms while complaining.

"Why did you kick my car away? It's freezing in your car."

A cold snort came from above, "Yes, riding in my car is definitely not as comfortable as riding in someone else's horse."

These words sounded sarcastic, and Fan Liuer looked up from his arms and stared at him.

Li Chenbi was not to be outdone, and stared down at Fan Liuer.

"You know?" Fan Liuer asked.

Now she knows Li Chenbi too well; she can understand the meaning behind every word he says immediately.

It must be because Li Chenbi found out that Qi Weiming came to see her today, which is why she's being so jealous and sarcastic now.

Li Chenbi's voice grew even colder, "What, you still want to hide it from me?"

Fan Liuer blinked. "I hadn't thought of it, but I couldn't hide it from you."

Li Chenbi narrowed his eyes. "What, you're going to keep it a secret just because you can?"

Fan Liuer frowned. "No, what am I hiding? I didn't do anything with him. We're completely innocent. Why would I hide anything?"

Li Chenbi's voice became even more acrimonious, "Did you do nothing at all, or are you afraid to do it in public?"

Fan Liuer was a little unhappy. "If I were interested in him, I would have gone with him. Why would I stay with you? Don't be unreasonable."

"I'm being unreasonable?" Li Chenbi frowned. "You don't value our relationship at all. He cursed us so that we wouldn't be happy after we got married. You should have slapped him and told him to get as far away as possible. Instead, you didn't say a word."

Li Chenbi snorted, "I don't believe it."

"Then what will it take for you to believe me?"

"Now I'll take you to the prefect's mansion. Go slap him and tell him to get lost."

Fan Liuer: "..."
