Warm medicine emits fragrance

Li Chenbi was somewhat angry, angry that Fan Liuer hadn't stayed obediently outside waiting for him, but had instead run off to such a dangerous place.

He simply couldn't imagine what would have happened if Ni Hai had stabbed her instead.

But seeing Fan Liuer's reddened eyes and the undisguised joy in her eyes when she saw him, his heart softened again.

Never mind, it's good that everyone is alright.

There were too many people around, so he couldn't get too close to Fan Liuer. He reassured her with his eyes and then looked at Yan Qiu.

Upon seeing Yan Qiu, his expression immediately darkened. "Is this a place you can come to? Go back right now!"

Yan Qiu knew why Li Chenbi had driven him away, so he didn't dare to say anything more and reached out to grab Fan Liuer.

Fan Liuer knew she couldn't stay there any longer. After glancing at Li Chenbi, she left with Yan Qiu.

Li Chenbi watched Fan Liuer walk away until she was out of sight before turning his gaze away.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yan Ling staring at him, and he felt annoyed.

There's still one problem that hasn't been solved.

After Fan Liuer and Yan Qiu got into the carriage, he kept thanking Fan Liuer, "Sister-in-law, thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, I would have died under my own uncle's sword."

"I don't know how to repay you. What do you want? Tell me, and I'll do anything I can for you!"

"By the way, if Brother Chenbi asks later, remember to make it clear that you were the one who suggested it, so I took you there, otherwise he'll scold me again."

"His swearing is so awful, I'm most afraid of him getting angry."

He rattled off a whole bunch of things, but Fan Liuer didn't hear a word he said; she just felt exhausted.

After so many days of anxiety, I can finally relax completely. Leaning against the carriage wall, I have no thoughts in my mind and just let my mind go blank.

She only snapped out of her daze when Yan Qiu waved his hand in front of her face. "What did you say?"

Yan Qiu thought to himself that Fan Liu'er must be lost in thought about Li Chenbi.

He suddenly felt a pang of envy for Li Chenbi. He was handsome, intelligent, and, not to mention, he had managed to find a wife who loved him so much.

Knowing he was in trouble, she still traveled a long distance to come here, and now she is so preoccupied with him that she doesn't even realize she's talking to him.

Sigh... I'm so envious.

"I said, you saved my life, I have to repay you. What do you want? As long as it's within my power, I will definitely do it without hesitation."

Fan Liuer did it on a whim; she didn't think it counted as saving Yanqiu.

Besides, she was very grateful to Yan Qiu for helping her these past two days; otherwise, she didn't know when she would be able to see Li Chenbi again.

She was about to refuse when she opened her mouth, but then she changed her mind.

"I don't need to thank you. I just need to trouble you to take good care of Li Chenbi in the future. He has a bad temper and speaks harshly, which makes him prone to offending people. I don't know how many more situations like this he will face in the future. If he gets into such a situation again, I hope you can stand by his side and help him."

Upon hearing this, Yanqiu envied Li Chenbi even more.

With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!

"Don't worry, Brother Chenbi has also helped and taken care of me a lot. Even if you didn't say it, I would still do the same."

Fan Liuer then smiled at Yan Qiu, "Thank you very much."

Yanqiu was a little curious. How did Li Chenbi manage to find such a good wife? "Sister-in-law, how did you and Brother Chenbi meet?"

"Uh... um..." Fan Liuer really couldn't bring herself to talk about how she met Li Chenbi.

It can't be said that Li Chenbi was attracted to her breasts first, and then to her as a person.

But faced with Yanqiu's bright and piercing gaze, she couldn't avoid the topic. In the end, she could only rely on her talent for making things up and spouted a bunch of nonsense, which made Yanqiu even more envious.

Yanqiu escorted Fan Liuer back to her private residence and then immediately returned to the prefect's mansion.

Just then, Li Chenbi finished dealing with all his affairs and was rushing out. The two bumped into each other in front of the mansion gate.

When Li Chenbi saw him, he pulled him aside and said, "You've come at the right time. Go and bring Li Qiuping back."

The man Ni Hai sent to kill Li Qiuping was from Yanqiu. He staged a fake death with Li Qiuping, and Li Qiuping is now hiding in a farm outside the city.

After giving instructions to Yanqiu, Li Chenbi was about to mount his horse when Yanqiu grabbed him. "Brother Chenbi, are you going to see your sister-in-law?" he whispered.

Li Chenbi grew impatient. "You know that, so why don't you let go?"

Yanqiu immediately let go of her hand, but couldn't help feeling envious. "I really envy you for finding a wife like your sister-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Li Chenbi narrowed his eyes and looked at Yan Qiu.

Yan Qiu was completely unaware that he was being watched, and continued, "You have no idea how worried your sister-in-law is about you. On the way back with her just now, she was completely out of her mind, thinking about you the whole time."

Then he added, "The way you two met was truly beautiful and touching."

Li Chenbi raised an eyebrow. "She told you everything?"

Yanqiu nodded. "I told you." His eyes were filled with longing. "Brother Chenbi, when you have the chance, can you take me to see the lantern festival in Xingzhou? I grew up on the border and have never seen such a sight."

Li Chenbi: "What did she say to you?"

"She said you two met at the lantern festival in Xingzhou. She was looking at the lanterns on a boat, and you were looking at the boats on the shore. Just then, her boat passed by your line of sight, and you immediately took a liking to the lantern in her hand. So you stopped the boat to buy her lantern, but she disagreed, and then you two started arguing. In the end, you exchanged names while arguing, and after that, you would argue whenever you met on the street. Over time, you developed feelings for each other through your arguments."

Li Chenbi: "..."

He knew that Fan Liuer wouldn't tell Yan Qiu the truth; Fan Liuer couldn't bring herself to tell him how they met.

I just didn't expect her to make up such a ridiculous story.

I never expected Yanqiu to have such a unique mind.

"Beautiful and captivating?"

Yanqiu nodded, "Yes, what an unusual encounter! It's much more interesting than those arranged marriages."

Li Chenbi looked at Yan Qiu as if he were a fool, said nothing, mounted his horse, and rode away.

Yanqiu was left alone, still immersed in this beautiful and moving story.

Fan Liuer returned to the house and went to wash up. In order to play the role of a man, she applied a lot of black and yellow powder to her face, which was greasy and uncomfortable.

This powder was hard to wash off; it took her a lot of effort to finally get it off.

The water in the bucket had turned black, so she had to order another bucket of water.

The second bucket of water arrived, and she had just stepped into it when she heard a noise outside. Thinking it was the maid delivering the water, she said, "No more water, that's enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, the commotion outside didn't stop; in fact, it got even closer.

Just as she was about to turn her head to look, a hand reached out and grabbed her chin, turning her head around. The next second, her lips were bitten.
