Warm medicine emits fragrance

Li Yufeng was in so much pain that he couldn't speak and lay on the ground convulsing.

The First Madam's eyes were bloodshot with rage as she struggled frantically, shouting, "Li Chenbi, you're not human! If you want to hit someone, come at me!"

Liu Xi'er was so frightened that she shrank to the side and didn't dare to make a sound.

The old lady was trembling with anger. "Stop!"

Li Chenbi didn't even glance at them, and this time he didn't even speak again, raising his hand to strike with the whip once more.

Two lashes.

Three lashes.

The whip ripped through the air with a ferocious sound, striking Li Yufeng's body. Accompanying the sound of flesh tearing open were shouts and curses that echoed throughout the room.

Li Chenbi whipped Li Yufeng ten times before stopping, by which time Li Yufeng had fainted from the pain.

The doctor, long forgotten by everyone, couldn't bear it any longer and spoke up, "Second Master, if you keep drawing blood like this, someone will die."

Li Chenbi then threw down the whip, looked at him, and said, "Take him away."

Immediately, someone came up and carried Li Yufeng away from the ground, and the doctor quickly followed and left the house.

The First Madam wanted to go with them, but she couldn't break free from those blocking her way. She could only glare at Li Chenbi, gritting her teeth as she said, "If anything happens to Yu Feng, I will absolutely not let you off!"

Li Chenbi then looked up at her. "Why do you hate me so much, sister-in-law? Since you and my brother can't teach the child well, isn't it only right that I teach him for you?"

"He's already lying so much at such a young age. If we don't correct this habit, he'll cause trouble in the future, and outsiders won't be as lenient as I am."

The First Madam angrily retorted, "What makes you think Yu Feng is lying!"

Li Chenbi looked at her and smiled, "Sister-in-law, are you truly unaware, or are you intentionally condoning it?"

After saying that, he raised his hand to signal, and two guards immediately stepped forward and stood behind him.

"Tell them whether Madam Fan laid a hand on Li Yufeng today."

The two guards spoke in unison: "Madam Fan did not lay a hand on the young master."

One of the guards added, "It was the young master who attacked the young lady first. Madam Fan happened to pass by and stopped the young master. The young master was so angry that he wanted to attack Madam Fan, but we stopped him and he left on his own."

The First Madam and the Old Madam paused, not expecting that Li Yufeng was actually lying.

But the First Madam quickly concealed her surprise, saying, "They are your people, so naturally they'll speak up for Fan Liuer!"

"I...I can testify," a small voice echoed in the room.

Everyone looked over and saw Li Yuhe, who had been standing silently in the corner.

As soon as she said this, the First Madam stared at her with a fierce look in her eyes.

Li Yuhe felt flustered under her gaze and quickly lowered her eyes.

After swallowing hard, she spoke again: "Madam Fan really didn't hit Li Yufeng, it was Li Yufeng himself..."

"Li Yuhe!" The First Madam interrupted Li Yuhe sharply, "Do you think he'll protect you just because you speak up for him? Get your facts straight!"

Li Yuhe bit her lip, her eyes reddening. Years of grievances welled up at this moment, making her unable to hold back any longer.

Tears welled in her eyes as she looked at the First Madam, her voice rising, "You and Father are my parents, but have you ever truly treated me like a daughter? From childhood to adulthood, how many insults and grievances have I endured for Li Yufeng? Can you even see that?"

"Didn't you hear what they were saying? Li Yufeng attacked me first. He's my brother, and he doesn't respect me as his older sister at all, yet he still tried to hit me!"

"After hearing all that, did you feel even a little bit worried or guilty towards me?"

She took a deep breath, forcing back all her tears, and looked at the First Madam, saying bitterly, "If I could, I would rather not have parents like you."

"Also, stop thinking about making me marry someone so you can benefit yourself. If you force me to marry, I'll kill myself."

After saying this, Li Yuhe turned and quickly left the house.

The First Madam was stunned by Li Yuhe's words for a long time. When she came to her senses, there was no guilt in her eyes, only anger.

"Are you satisfied now!" she glared at Li Chenbi.

Li Chenbi scoffed coldly, "This is nothing, sister-in-law. I'm not someone who's easy to talk to."

"You brought my people here today, scaring her like that. Do you think I'll let this go so easily?"

The old lady took a deep breath and said painfully, "Yes, we misunderstood today, but we didn't do anything to her. Yu Feng was beaten so badly by you, what more do you want?"

"Shenbi, are you really going to turn against your mother for the sake of a woman?"

Li Chenbi looked at the old lady, his eyes darkening. "Mother, I'll say the same to you. Do you really want to let your son's feelings be broken because of those so-called 'face'?"

The old lady was stumped by Li Chenbi's question and remained silent for a long time.

Li Chenbi withdrew his gaze and looked at the First Madam again.

"Sister-in-law, let me give you a piece of advice: don't try to take advantage of her again, or things won't be as simple as they are today."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the two people blocking the First Madam moved aside.

The First Madam, now free, didn't linger for a moment; she was in a hurry to see Li Yufeng.

Most of the people in the room left at once, and Li Chenbi then looked at Liu Xier, who was hiding in the corner.

"now you."

Liu Xi'er looked as if she had seen a demon, her face turning pale with fright, and she stammered, "I...I didn't do anything."

"Really?" Li Chenbi turned his head to look at the person behind him.

Someone immediately chimed in from behind, "Miss Liu insulted Madam Fan, calling her a pig."

Li Chenbi withdrew his gaze. "Then throw her into the pigsty and lock her up with the pigs. Let her out when she's as fat as a pig."

"No! Don't!"

Liu Xi'er turned pale and immediately pleaded with the old lady for help, "Old lady, please save me, save me!"

"Sink the wall!" The old lady couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up again.

After having Liu Xier taken away, Li Chenbi looked at the old lady and said, "It was just to scare her, don't worry."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

The old lady called out to him again, "Chen Bi."

Li Chenbi stopped and turned his head.

The old lady took a deep breath and said, "I never imagined things would escalate to this point between my son and me. You really like Fan Liuer that much?"

Li Chenbi then turned his head and said, "Mother, I will marry no one but her in this life. It would be best if you agree, but it doesn't matter if you don't. No one can stop me from marrying her."

"I would also like to offer my mother a piece of advice: do not make things difficult for her in the future. If she is not well, then no one in this household will be well either."

After saying this, Li Chenbi left without giving the old lady a chance to reply.

Looking at the suddenly empty room, the old lady slumped back into her chair, her face full of sadness and disappointment.

The old nanny immediately stepped forward to comfort her: "Madam, don't take it to heart. The Second Master has always been like this since he was a child. Once he likes something, he won't let anyone touch it."
