Warm medicine emits fragrance

Fan Liuer did get a few days of rest.

For the next two or three days, Li Chenbi didn't come to see her again, and he left the matter of getting the medicine to Yang Niangzi, without calling Fan Liuer upstairs.

Fan Liuer resumed her previous life, spending her days fetching medicine and otherwise idling.

Life became much more comfortable. Every day, besides eating and drinking, he would stay in his room sleeping and taking naps, occasionally chatting with a few maids he got along well with.

The woman in the west courtyard was even more excited than she was.

After learning that Li Chenbi hadn't contacted Fan Liuer for several days, the old lady began to ponder the matter.

"It seems the second son is tired of this. It's time to make arrangements and find him a marriage partner."

"Now that he has experienced the pleasures of sex, he will probably no longer reject it."

The old nanny thought for a moment and said, "This old servant heard that the Second Master went to a brothel three days ago. After returning from there, he hasn't looked for Madam Fan again. I guess he has found someone more to his liking."

The old lady became anxious again. "That won't do. What if he brings back some shady character? How will we find a spouse then? We have to hurry and finalize the marriage before he brings the person back."

After saying that, she said to the old nanny, "Go and make preparations to hold an autumn appreciation banquet and send invitations to all the major families in the city."

After giving the instructions, she asked Madam Yang, "How is the search for new wet nurses going? We need to find a few new ones quickly to fill the gaps. If the second son's marriage is successfully arranged, it won't be appropriate for Madam Fan to stay in the mansion."

Madam Yang hurriedly said, "Madam Wang is already searching, but there's still no news. However, Madam, you can rest assured, Madam Fan is a sensible person and won't cause any trouble."

"I'm not worried about her causing trouble. She's an outsider, what big trouble could she possibly cause? I'm worried that if my second son really gets engaged, her presence will make others unhappy."

After saying that, she sighed, "Never mind, these things aren't urgent. We can talk about them later. Let's focus on the most pressing matters first."

The old lady was in a hurry, so she was incredibly efficient. The invitations for the autumn appreciation banquet were sent out that very day, and the household began making urgent preparations.

However, those matters had nothing to do with the North Courtyard. No matter what kind of banquets were held in the mansion, they would not affect the North Courtyard.

Li Chenbi has never liked excitement or harmony.

Sure enough, as soon as Madam Yang relayed the old lady's words to Li Chenbi, his face darkened, "I'm not going."

This put Madam Yang in a difficult position. She pleaded in a low voice, "Second Master, please don't make things difficult for this old servant. If you don't go, how can this old servant explain to the Old Madam?"

Li Chenbi glanced at her and said, "Madam Yang, I only let you keep in touch with my mother because you took care of me since I was a child. But from now on, this rule will have to be changed."

"Think it over. Do you want to stay in the North Campus or go to the West Campus? If you want to stay in the North Campus, you know the rules there."

Madam Yang was completely baffled. "Second Master, why are you doing this? You used to be uninterested in these things because you weren't interested in women, but now you're not ruling out women anymore. Why don't you go and meet them?"

Li Chenbi has been annoyed these past few days because that damned Fan Liuer hasn't shown any sign of trying to please him.

He thought that as long as she took the initiative to admit her mistake, he would at most make things difficult for her and then forgive her.

Unexpectedly, this person had no intention of admitting his mistake and lived a very carefree life.

If she didn't come, he stubbornly refused to look for her.

But the more he sulked, the angrier he became. Now, five days later, he was about to explode with anger.

Her patience finally gave out, and she angrily smashed the jade cup in her hand. "What do you take me for? Someone who'll take any woman?"

The people in the room trembled with fear, but fortunately, they had all been trained by Li Chenbi and were not so frightened that they knelt down.

Yang Niangzi had watched Li Chenbi grow up since she was a child and was used to his temper. Although she would be frightened, she was not so afraid that she dared not speak.

She paused, then continued, "Second Master is certainly not that kind of person. The reason you value Madam Fan so much is probably because of her extraordinary constitution. Although Madam Fan's constitution is rare, life isn't limited to the summer."

"It's already autumn, and winter is just around the corner. When you're no longer bothered by the temperature, Lady Fan will lose her appeal. At that time, you'll still need someone to keep you company."

"Since we're going to be looking anyway, why not take this opportunity to see if there's anyone we like?"

Yang Niangzi has seen too much at her age. Men are one way before they've tasted the flavor of sex, and another way after they've tasted it.

Upon hearing her words, Li Chenbi was thinking about something else entirely.

Was he truly only attracted to Fan Liuer because of her physique?

Li Chenbi has little experience in relationships and has never had any romantic feelings for anyone in his life, but he is intelligent enough to understand his own heart.

He had never thought about it before, but now that he thinks about it carefully, he realized that he had never only been interested in Fan Liuer's body.

If he only values ​​her body, why bother going to such lengths for her? He pays for her and she gives him her body; the transaction is settled. Why should he get so angry about Fan Liuer?

He is clearly...

He cares about her.

After realizing this, Li Chenbi became even angrier.

He only gets angry because he cares about her. So, Fan Liuer's carefree attitude all day long means that she doesn't take him seriously at all.

She was probably only thinking about saving enough money to leave the Li family and live her carefree life.

Li Chenbi was so angry at his own guess that he laughed and kicked the chair next to him.

The chair was kicked over with a loud bang, startling everyone in the room.

This frightened Madam Yang, and she dared not speak again.

Not only were the people in this house frightened, but the people in the house downstairs were also startled. The two heads that were chatting together suddenly looked up.

Siqing swallowed and whispered, "Second Master seems to be throwing a tantrum."

For some reason, Fan Liuer felt a sense of unease rising in her heart, and a chill ran down her spine.

Why is he throwing a tantrum again?

Why does he always lose his temper?

Where does all that gas come from every day?

After thinking for a moment, she said to Siqing, "How about we go for a walk in the garden?" She felt it was a bit dangerous to stay here.

Siqing thought so too.

The two gathered the snacks from the table and quickly left the house.

However, after taking only two steps, a gloomy voice came from behind him.

"Where to?"

Having not heard that sound for five days, and with the noise coming from upstairs just now, Fan Liuer couldn't help but shrink her neck.

He slowly turned his head to look at the person still standing on the stairs, forcing a dry smile.

"Second Master, why are you out at this time?"

It was midday, and although it wasn't as hot as in summer, Li Chenbi had never gone out during this time.

He must have been incredibly angry to have gone out at noon.
