Warm medicine emits fragrance

Fan Liuer was furious, but her anger soon dissipated in the face of the sumptuous lunch.

Faced with a more lavish dinner, not only did her anger subside, but she also secretly praised him.

Although this person has a strange temper, gets angry easily, and holds grudges, the good thing is that he doesn't cut back on her food rations.

He could be considered a decent person, if not a perfect one.

She accidentally ate too much for dinner and felt uncomfortable, so she couldn't fall asleep until late at night.

Even when I burp, the smell of the pork knuckle I ate last night still lingers in my mouth.

"I can't take it anymore, I need to go out for a walk to digest my food, I'm so full I feel uncomfortable." She jumped out of bed and said to Siqing on the footrest.

Siqing was assigned to serve her and slept on the footstool next to her bed. She wasn't in a deep sleep, but was startled awake by Siqing's sudden movement.

"Now?"

Fan Liuer had already gotten up and started getting dressed. "You go to sleep by yourself. I'll just take a walk around the neighborhood."

"Oh, then please wear more clothes so you don't catch a cold."

Siqing was a straightforward person. When Fan Liuer told her not to follow, she simply stopped and went back to sleep.

Fan Liuer wrapped herself up tightly before going out of the house.

Although it was late at night, the courtyard was lit up everywhere, so it was not dark at all. There were servants guarding every few steps, so there was no danger. Fan Liuer felt at ease and strolled around the area.

After feeling that most of the food in her stomach had been digested, she slowly walked into the house.

Just as I approached the room, I heard hurried, chaotic footsteps behind me.

She turned her head and saw a group of people coming this way. In front of them were servants carrying lanterns, and in the middle was Li Chenbi, who was a head taller than her.

The fact that this person is here suggests that they are not someone who, like her, is out digesting their food after a large meal.

Instead, he had just returned from handling some business.

Thinking about how this person threw me out of my room at noon, running into him now is not a good thing; I might even be harassed by him.

Li Chenbi didn't have her magnanimity; she was incredibly petty.

He turned and was about to run into the house.

However, it was still too slow.

"Who's there?" It was Li Qiuping who spoke.

Fan Liuer cursed inwardly, stopped in her tracks, and obediently turned around, waiting for the group to walk in before speaking.

"Second Master, it's me."

Li Chenbi looked at the person in front of him who was wrapped up like a ball and felt a twitch in the corner of his eye.

Is it that cold?

If it's cold, go back inside and stay indoors. Why come out and feel the wind?

"Why are you still out so late? What are you doing wandering around outside?"

And he even stood near his own house. Could it be that he knew he had upset him at noon and came here specifically to apologize?

That shows some sincerity.

"Reporting to Second Master, I ate too much tonight and came out to digest."

Li Chenbi: "..."

Ah!

Did you eat too much tonight?

Out for a walk to digest?

Sincerity?

He must be completely bewitched to believe that this money-grubber could be sincere.

The anger that had subsided at noon has now surged back up tenfold.

This person thinks he won't do anything to her, so he's being so tactless time and time again, right?

"Since you can't sleep, then don't sleep tonight!" With that, he walked past Fan Liuer and strode forward.

When Fan Liuer looked up at him, she only saw his angry back.

Completely bewildered.

"Your Honor, what has she done to offend him this time?"

Before she could even process what was happening, the man had already stopped at the doorway, turned to look at her, and when he saw her standing there motionless, his expression darkened even more.

"Aren't you coming over here!"

Without time to think, Fan Liuer quickly took off after him.

Li Chenbi then turned and walked inside.

After taking only a couple of steps inside, he stopped and turned back. "Wait outside."

Fan Liuer had only stretched her foot halfway across the threshold when she heard this, so she immediately pulled it back and stepped back.

It would be best to wait; the room was filled with ice all day long, making it as cold as an ice cellar, and even colder at night, so she didn't want to go in.

After she stepped aside, the door was closed, leaving only a few servants guarding the gate outside.

There was no sound coming from inside. Fan Liuer waited outside for a long time, but there was still no movement. She was getting sleepy.

As he leaned against a pillar, dozing off, the door suddenly opened, and the servants who had followed him in rushed out.

Li Qiuping beckoned to her, "Madam Fan, come in."

Fan Liuer thought she wouldn't have to go in, but she didn't expect she still had to.

Reaching the door, she couldn't help but ask Li Qiuping in a low voice, "What was Second Master doing inside just now?"

She's been waiting for so long.

"Second Master just went to the bathhouse to take a bath."

Fan Liuer then remembered that there was a back door in the room that led directly to the bathroom at the back.

This person told me to wait here, but then went to take a shower. Could it be that he's planning something tonight?

Fan Liuer couldn't help but feel nervous.

Although I had already prepared myself for something to happen between me and Li Chenbi, this came a little too suddenly.

There was no sign at all.

And that person is still angry.

It's said that some men are very rough in bed. Would he take his anger out on her and try to kill her?

The more I think about it, the more likely it seems.

Otherwise, why would this person have done nothing during so many opportunities, but today he had to keep her here?

With that thought, she no longer felt nervous about what Li Chenbi was going to do with her; all she felt was the anxiety of whether Li Chenbi would kill her in bed.

She dawdled as she entered the house, and as soon as she stepped inside, the chill hit her face, causing her to clutch her outer coat tightly.

The door slammed shut behind her, intensifying her unease.

"You're dawdling, do you know what I'm going to do to you?" Li Chenbi's voice came from the side.

Fan Liuer looked over when she heard the sound and realized that he was already lying in bed.

He was only wearing a pair of pants, and he wasn't even wearing the outer shirt that he usually wore.

Fan Liuer swallowed, unsure of what to say at this moment.

Will saying I don't know make him even angrier?

We can't let him get angry now. If he really kills himself, then we'll have nothing left.

She'd better be sensible; she nodded and whispered, "I know."

Looking at her obedient appearance, Li Chenbi became even angrier.

Knowing this, why are you still so calm?

What, are you so sure he won't do anything to her?

Ha, then he absolutely has to do something today!

"come over."

Fan Liuer obediently walked over.

Remembering not to provoke him, Fan Liuer was very sensible. She not only walked to the bedside, but also took off her shoes, climbed onto the bed, and sat properly at his feet, tilting her head to look at him.

They seemed to be at his mercy.

Li Chenbi looked at her face, which appeared even more flawless under the dim light. The warm light added a soft glow to her already harmless appearance, making her look like a fluffy, white ball of cotton that could be easily touched.

It attracted his attention and made him unable to look away.

He even wanted to get close to her and sink himself into that soft, yielding embrace.
