Warm medicine emits fragrance

Fan Liuer is timid and doesn't dare to cause trouble.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't have a temper.

Li Chenbi had promised to cover for her, which gave her confidence and made her bolder.

In addition, she had a vague idea of ​​who had tampered with her soup last time, so she was already angry.

I felt increasingly uncomfortable.

Before Li Chenbi could speak up to defend her, she said, "Madam must have misunderstood."

She turned to face Li Chenxin and his wife, bowed slightly with a smile, her posture was extremely respectful, but her words carried a different meaning.

"Although I am a wet nurse, I am not a servant who has signed a contract of servitude. Although I come from a humble background, I am not inferior to anyone."

The implication was clear: none of the people present were any more noble than her.

After saying that, she sat down next to Li Chenbi, her back ramrod straight.

The First Madam had never been humiliated in public like this before. The Li family could do whatever they wanted in Xingzhou City, and she was always the one who made others suffer.

Now that he had been humiliated by a wet nurse, his face immediately turned ugly, and he raised his hand and slammed it on the table.

"How dare you! Who gives you the right to speak here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chenbi's gaze swept over him, a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with a chilling aura.

"Why don't my people have a voice?"

"If that's the case, Mother hasn't even spoken yet, so how could it be your turn, sister-in-law, to speak?"

The First Madam's face darkened further, but facing Li Chenbi, she didn't dare to lash out as directly as she had with Fan Liuer, her face turning bright red.

The old lady felt her head throb even more and shouted to stop the farce.

"Alright, stop arguing. What kind of talk is this, arguing during the New Year?"

The First Madam was furious and clenched her fists on the table.

Li Yuhe sat down next to her, and seeing this, she stroked her hand and gently comforted her, "Mother, don't be angry, it's New Year's Day today."

The First Madam flung Li Yuhe's hand away and turned to scold her in a low voice.

"Do you even have the right to speak here?"

Li Yuhe's good intentions backfired, her expression darkened, and she lowered her head without saying another word.

Li Yufeng, standing to the side, was on his parents' side, staring at Fan Liuer with a gradually sinister look in his eyes.

Fan Liuer swallowed hard.

Well, now we've offended all the masters of the Li family.

She immediately regretted her actions, realizing she shouldn't have acted impulsively.

Li Chenbi looked at Fan Liuer, and seeing how she was clearly worried but still forced herself to stand up straight, he found her incredibly endearing.

I want to kiss you.

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would have already pulled the person into his arms and kissed them all over.

Just as the corners of her mouth turned up in a smile, she received a look from Fan Liuer.

Fan Liuer was shocked to find that while she was worrying so much, this person was still smiling.

That's absolutely outrageous!

I couldn't help but glare at him.

Li Chenbi's smile widened.

I want to kiss him even more now.

Fan Liuer didn't want to look at him anymore, so she turned her gaze away and continued to play the role of the arrogant and domineering wet nurse she was playing today.

After what had just happened, no one spoke again. The old lady ordered the meal to be served, and the group moved to the dining room.

Li Chenbi led Fan Liuer at the back, whispering in her ear, "You performed very well; there will be a big reward later."

Upon hearing about the generous reward, Fan Liuer instantly stopped being angry, her eyes lighting up. "Really?"

Looking into those bright, sparkling eyes, Li Chenbi could no longer restrain himself. He cupped Fan Liuer's face in one hand and kissed her on the lips.

"really."

Fan Liuer was stunned. She didn't expect Li Chenbi to be so inconsiderate, especially since they were out in public!

She covered her mouth, glaring at Li Chenbi, "You..."

Li Chenbi pinched her cheek. "Keep performing well later. There will be a reward if you do well."

Fan Liuer: "..."

Okay, for the sake of the generous reward, we can temporarily throw away her face.

As everyone sat down at the table, before Fan Liuer could even sit down, Li Yufeng said, "Grandmother, why didn't you call that older sister from last time? I think she's prettier."

After saying that, he looked at Fan Liuer, waiting to see if she would get jealous.

However, Fan Liuer had no idea what he was talking about; her eyes were fixed on the dish in front of her.

Oh dear, why is there a dish she doesn't like placed in front of her? Looks like she won't get a full breakfast today.

I'll have to go back and cook something special for myself later.

Let's have a hot bowl of beef noodles. In winter, you have to eat something hot and soupy to feel comfortable.

Seeing that no one reacted, Li Yufeng gritted his teeth and said again, "I always thought that a man like my second uncle would find a woman who was his equal to be his aunt."

"At the very least, one must possess exceptional talent and stunning good looks to be worthy of Second Uncle."

Fan Liuer then belatedly realized that these words were meant for her.

Li Chenbi was playing with Fan Liuer's hand under the table, completely ignoring Li Yufeng.

Fan Liuer originally intended not to hear it, but the whole family across from her were looking at her, seemingly eagerly anticipating her reaction.

At times like this, it would be awkward for her not to say something.

Nodding, she said, "I think so too."

As soon as she spoke, Li Chenbi gripped her hand tightly. He looked up at Fan Liuer with displeasure.

Remembering Li Chenbi's earlier words about a hefty reward for continued performance, Fan Liuer cleared her throat and immediately changed her mind.

"Actually, your second uncle isn't as good as you think."

"Although he was handsome, tall, exceptionally capable, and remarkably intelligent, his temper was not very good."

"Those talented and beautiful girls you mentioned definitely can't stand his temper. You'd better not make things difficult for them. It's better to leave this kind of hard and tiring work to me."

"I was born into a poor family and I don't have many other advantages, except that I can endure hardship."

As soon as he finished speaking, a "pfft" sound came from beside him.

She turned to look at Li Chenbi, who had one hand to his lips and was laughing heartily.

Looking at the people at the table, apart from Li Yuhe who was trying not to laugh, everyone else looked unwell.

No one responded to Fan Liuer's words. It was a one-woman show, so Fan Liuer secretly pinched Li Chenbi.

How could this person laugh while she was performing?

That's not professional at all.

Li Chenbi received her signal, suppressed his laughter, looked up at Li Yufeng, and his expression changed instantly, causing Li Yufeng to involuntarily shrink back to the First Madam.

"It's one thing to be bad at studying, but your eyesight is also poor. You can't even distinguish between beauty and ugliness. I'll send you to the West City School tomorrow to properly correct your aesthetic sense."

Upon hearing this, Li Yufeng's expression changed drastically. The West City Academy was founded by Li Chenbi, and the teachers there were all extremely strict. They never cared about the status of their parents and treated every student equally, never holding back when it was time to discipline them.

Li Yufeng had read about it before; he was almost driven crazy by the strict control. He had to throw a tantrum at home and beg and plead before the First Madam finally took him back.

If he were sent there again, he would really go crazy.
