Warm medicine emits fragrance

To get from the side courtyard to the main courtyard, you have to walk through a long corridor and pass through a side door.

This door is the boundary that separates masters from servants; separated by just one door is the difference between heaven and earth.

If the scenery seen along the way to the Li residence could be described as magnificent, then what lies before us is a landscape with the exquisite beauty described in poetry.

Every scene and object here proclaims that the owner of this place has an extraordinary aesthetic sense.

Fan Liuer glanced at it once and then lowered her head, remembering Lady Wang's reminder.

Passing through the flowerbeds in the courtyard, Madam Wang led Fan Liuer to the foot of a pavilion, pushed open the door of the downstairs room, and said, "Come in."

As soon as Fan Liuer stepped inside, a loud crash came from upstairs, sounding like a heavy object hitting the ground.

Startled, she flinched and instinctively looked up.

Even though I know I can't see anything except the floorboards.

Madam Wang seemed to have already gotten used to it, her expression was calm, she reached out and pulled her into the house, then closed the door.

"Go to the inner room."

Seeing that she didn't seem to want to say anything, Fan Liuer didn't dare to ask any more questions and buried her head as she walked into the inner room.

There was already someone waiting inside, a woman in her thirties, dressed even more luxuriously than Lady Wang, suggesting she held a high position in the household.

When she saw Fan Liuer, she first sized her up, a look of satisfaction flashing in her eyes. Then she got up and took a jade cup from the table next to her. It was about the size of a palm and a finger's width deep, and it was wrapped with gold thread.

He lifted the lid and handed it over, saying, "Use this to hold it."

Fan Liuer was stunned for a moment.

盛？

Seeing that she didn't react, the woman looked anxious and urged, "Go on, hurry up, the master is waiting."

Fan Liuer realized what was happening and immediately took the jade cup from her hand.

She roughly knew what the jade cup was for, and at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief.

This method is better than feeding them by hand.

She immediately calmed down, turned her back to the woman, and deftly unbuttoned her clothes.

The woman waited a while, then grew impatient. "Is it done yet?"

Looking at the small amount of liquid in the jade cup, Fan Liuer said softly, "I don't know if it's enough."

Upon hearing this, the woman stood up and walked in front of her. Fan Liuer, after all, was still a young girl who had never experienced such things, and subconsciously reached out to cover herself.

The woman didn't even look at her; she glanced down at the jade cup and, as expected, her face showed displeasure.

"How come there's only this much?"

Fan Liuer didn't know how to answer for a moment, as the amount was not something she could decide.

"Never mind, never mind, there's no time left, just make do with this." The woman took the jade cup from her hand, turned and left in a hurry.

Fan Liuer got dressed and followed her out. Madam Wang was still waiting outside. When she saw her come out, she didn't say anything and opened the door to leave.

Fan Liuer quickly followed her.

He didn't even dare to turn his head.

Only after the two left the main courtyard did Madam Wang speak: "The lady in the room just now is Madam Yang. From now on, you and Feng Yan will be under her management. If you need anything, just go to her."

Fan Liuer nodded hurriedly, "Yes."

Lady Wang glanced at her, clearly satisfied with her behavior of not asking anything or looking around.

"Remember, in the future, just like today, don't ask anything, don't look at anything, and don't talk to anyone about anything. Just do your job well."

"Yes."

"Madam Yang said your portion was too small. I'll let the kitchen know later and make you something nice to eat to make you better."

This is what Fan Liuer wanted to hear. She doesn't have any major flaws, except for her gluttony.

Hearing that there would be something delicious, the voice became more energetic in response.

"Yes, thank you, Madam Wang."

Madam Wang smiled and led the people towards the side courtyard.

Back at their residence, Feng Yan immediately approached and asked, "Which master in the manor is you breastfeeding? How old is he?"

She was really curious, but Lady Wang hadn't said anything, and she didn't dare to ask.

Fan Liuer kept Wang Niangzi's instructions in mind and only told Feng Yan what she could say.

"I don't know, I didn't see anyone, they squeezed into the jade cup."

Compared to Fan Liuer, Feng Yan was more knowledgeable. After a moment's thought, she understood, "It seems they look down on our status and won't let us feed them close."

She was also an easygoing person, and after saying that, she laughed and said, "That's good. We just provide it, and if any other problems arise, it won't be our fault."

At this moment, in the main courtyard pavilion, Madam Yang carried a jade cup and hurried upstairs. The upstairs was completely silent, and a group of people were kneeling in the hall.

The room was littered with broken pieces: cups, vases, and even a chair with a broken leg.

Even the expensively purchased screen was now broken into several pieces and lying on the ground.

In the inner room, a figure lay on the couch, dressed in a snow-white silk undergarment, her hand covering her face, her long, ink-black hair scattered on the pillow.

He was tall and slender, with fair skin visible beneath his clothes, and clearly defined hand bones.

If it weren't for the painful groans emanating from his throat, it would have been a picturesque scene.

"Second Master, the medicine is here." Madam Yang stepped forward with the jade cup and squatted down beside the bed.

She lifted the lid, revealing the already mixed medicine inside; the brown liquid sloshed around in the glass.

Li Chenbi raised his hand and waved it away, revealing his subordinate's face. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed, his thin lips were pressed into a straight line, and a fierce aura emanated from his eyes.

"Take it away," he said in a hoarse voice.

Madam Yang immediately said, "We've changed to a new wet nurse. I've tasted it, and the milk isn't fishy at all. You should try it."

Just as Li Chenbi was about to let out a low snort, another burning sensation surged through his body, causing him to groan in pain.

Madam Yang hurriedly knelt down in front of him, presenting the jade cup in her hands, "Second Master, please try it. How can you bear to suffer like this? Don't ruin your health."

Li Chenbi endured the pain, looking down at the brown liquid in the cup, his eyes filled with clear disgust.

But tormented by the pain, he finally gave in and accepted the jade cup from Lady Yang.

He tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

The cold liquid went down his throat, and he instinctively furrowed his brow, thinking he should swallow it quickly to avoid spitting it out later.

It tastes awful, just as awful as ever, bitter and...

He tightened his grip on the jade cup.

The medicine had already been swallowed down his throat, and the cool liquid relieved some of the burning sensation in his body.

Aside from the bitterness, the fishy smell that he used to find unbearable was not there.

Just as Madam Yang said, it really doesn't smell fishy.

Seeing that he didn't lose his temper as usual, and showed no signs of vomiting, Yang Niangzi felt a glimmer of hope.

He cautiously inquired, "Second Master, is it not fishy?"

Li Chenbi was still in pain, and the medicine wasn't working as quickly as he expected, but his mood had improved considerably.

He loosened his fingers from the jade cup, letting it fall to the ground. He lay back on the couch, let out a soft breath, and then spoke.

"Who hired this person?"

"Lady Wang".

"reward."

Madam Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard him say, "Give the wet nurse a reward as well. Take good care of her and make sure she stays in the mansion."
