Warm medicine emits fragrance

Before Fan Liuer could decide whether to risk everything for that two-courtyard house, she was already pushed into the carriage by Madam Yang.

Li Chenbi had not yet come out; she was the only one in the carriage.

She was already dressed in thin clothes, and as soon as she entered the carriage, which had several small ice jars, she was so cold that she shivered all over.

Madam Yang was determined to seduce Li Chenbi today, so she confiscated her outer garment, leaving her without anything to keep warm.

Ice glasses were placed in all four corners of the carriage, leaving no room to shrink back.

Li Chenbi was afraid of the heat, so he didn't even have a cloak or blanket, let alone a handkerchief in the carriage.

Fan Liuer couldn't stand it for more than a quarter of an hour. The chill seeped into her bones, and she started shivering.

With her arms crossed, she climbed out of the carriage, intending to wait for Li Chenbi outside.

I used to not want to see him, but now I'm incredibly looking forward to his appearance.

She still remembers the warmth of his body, warmer than any blanket or quilt, like being pressed against a fireplace.

As soon as he stepped out of the carriage, he saw Li Chenbi appear at the gate, and their eyes met.

His face, which had been expressionless, suddenly hardened and became extremely ugly upon seeing Fan Liuer.

Fan Liuer was also watching him, so she naturally noticed the change in his expression and immediately realized something was wrong.

This person got angry again.

Could it be that she completely disgusted him last time, and now he doesn't even want to look at her anymore?

Fan Liuer immediately calmed down and was even hoping that the man would see that she was unhappy and then send her to the carriage behind.

Seeing him stride towards her, she immediately went up to him.

Since he doesn't like her, the more she tries to get closer to him, the more annoyed he will become, and then he will chase her away.

"Second Master..." The man leaned forward, but before he could speak, Li Chenbi said in a deep voice, "Go up!"

"Yes, Second Master." Fan Liuer lifted her skirt and was about to leave the carriage when she paused.

Go up?

Instead of rolling, it went up?

She looked up at Li Chenbi, wondering if she had misheard.

Seeing that she was standing still, Li Chenbi's expression turned even uglier. He grabbed her arm and pulled her into the carriage.

The carriage, which was originally quite spacious, suddenly felt cramped when two people entered, one of whom was the tall Li Chenbi.

Fan Liuer was still confused. Didn't this person dislike her? Why did he drag her into this?

"Second Master?" she asked in confusion as Li Chenbi pressed her down onto the cushion.

The carriage was too crowded for him to stand, so Li Chenbi sat in the main seat and stared at the person next to him.

His actions weren't gentle, but they weren't exactly rough either. She sat comfortably on the cushion, with one hand pressed against her chest, seemingly to prevent her clothes from slipping down.

It would have been better if she hadn't made that gesture; seeing it reminded Li Chenbi of what had just happened.

She stood outside wearing this thin dress, revealing a large expanse of fair skin on her chest. The gauze clung to her body, outlining her figure as it was blown by the wind.

really...

really...

This is absolutely outrageous!

"Fan Liuer, what are you thinking? Standing outside dressed like that, are you afraid no one will see you?"

"You have absolutely no regard for your innocence? You're willing to let others see your body for free, so does that mean you'd go with anyone who pays you?"

"Don't you have any shame?!"

Li Chenbi was furious, wishing he could gouge out the eyes of everyone present.

What angered her even more was that the person in front of her didn't care about her innocence at all and was putting on that innocent face.

Even though Fan Liuer was usually very open-minded, those words were a bit harsh. And when she thought about how her reputation had been ruined by this man's unpredictable behavior these past few days, her eyes suddenly reddened.

"Didn't you make me wear this? Why are you blaming me now?" She was so aggrieved and angry that her voice rose a little.

Li Chenbi frowned. "When did I let you..." He suddenly stopped, realizing something.

It was most likely Yang Niangzi's idea again.

Although Yang Niangzi was an old woman who had taken care of him since childhood and had been treated well by him, she still dared not be so bold.

Behind this matter, it's likely that it was once again an order from his own mother.

Thinking of this, Li Chenbi felt a headache coming on. But when he saw the aggrieved look on the person next to him, all his anger dissipated.

But she couldn't let her pride get the better of her, and she was still upset about being taken advantage of, so her tone wasn't exactly friendly.

"Why don't you just stay inside the carriage? What are you doing standing outside!"

His anger subsided, but Fan Liuer's anger had not.

I felt incredibly wronged and furious.

If it weren't for a sliver of reason remaining in my mind that this person was my master, I probably would have already pounced on him and torn his face off.

Taking a deep breath and forcibly suppressing her anger, she turned her head away from Li Chenbi and said in a muffled voice, "Second Master knows I'm prone to feeling cold. It's so cold in here, I can't stand it if I stay here too long."

She felt increasingly aggrieved as she spoke. Not only had he been cold to her for so long, but he had also taken advantage of her so much, and then turned around and accused her of being shameless.

She's still cold!

The icebox next to her seemed to amplify her resentment, enveloping the entire carriage in her icy aura.

"Does he have to let me freeze to death in this carriage before he feels ashamed?"

"Second Master is really unreasonable. It was all because of you that things turned out this way, but in the end, all the blame is placed on me."

"What did I do wrong to deserve being fooled like this by the Second Master?"

She was complaining, but her voice sounded extremely aggrieved, and she would sniffle from time to time, which made Li Chenbi, who couldn't see her face, feel uneasy.

Is she crying?

Thinking about it carefully, she really didn't do anything wrong. Apart from refusing the title of concubine, she was very obedient and did whatever she was asked to do.

Although she often made him angry, upon closer examination, it was just his own pride acting up, and had nothing to do with her.

Seeing her curled up in a ball, trembling slightly, I felt a pang of tenderness in my heart.

The anger I felt earlier has completely dissipated.

With arms outstretched and voice softened, she said, "Come here."

After Fan Liuer finished her rant, her resentment subsided considerably, and her courage also waned.

He was feeling uneasy, wondering if he had offended the person again with his words.

Hearing this person's unusually gentle tone, he was still somewhat incredulous and turned to look at Li Chenbi with wide eyes.

Li Chenbi raised his chin. "What are you standing there for? Aren't you cold?"

Of course it's cold!

Fan Liuer hesitated for only a moment before obediently snuggling into his arms.

Since we've already offended this person, we can't escape being beaten, scolded, or punished, so there's no need to humiliate ourselves at this time.

Having been cold for so long, the warmth of the body enveloped her, making her want to press herself closer, wanting to absorb more warmth.

The moment she pressed against him, Li Chenbi embraced her, the cool, soft touch in his arms making him sigh with pleasure.

My mood has completely improved.

Gently stroking the back of the person in his arms, he said softly, "What did Madam Yang promise you to wear this outfit?"

He knew his mother's methods all too well; she must have given the person in his arms plenty of benefits.

Fan Liuer pouted and muttered under her breath, "The way Second Master talks makes it sound like I can refuse."

Li Chenbi paused for a moment after hearing what she said, and a rare sense of guilt rose in his heart.

What she said wasn't wrong. Even if she wasn't given any benefits, what room did a helpless servant have to refuse?

He held the person in his arms tightly, and was about to say something to make amends when he heard a soft voice coming from inside his arms.

"Madam Yang said that if I could seduce the Second Master, she would give me a two-courtyard house."

Li Chenbi swallowed the words in his mouth, feeling displeased again.

So, the title he gave her wasn't even as good as a two-courtyard house, right?
