Warm medicine emits fragrance

Even though Fan Liuer had made preparations, she still couldn't withstand Li Chenbi's antics.

He hadn't been celibate for three days at all; he looked like he'd been celibate for three years. He pinned Fan Liuer down on the bed and tossed and turned her over.

Only when Fan Liuer couldn't bear it any longer and begged for mercy did he restrain himself a bit.

Yes, they've toned it down a bit, but they haven't let Fan Liuer off the hook.

This retaliatory disturbance didn't stop until sunset.

A satisfied Li Chenbi held Fan Liuer, who was so exhausted that she didn't even have the strength to speak, and gently patted her back.

"Take a nap if you're tired."

The cloth covering his face was still on; it was unclear whether he had forgotten or had no intention of removing it at all.

Fan Liuer was exhausted and sleepy. When Li Chenbi said those words, she was already in a half-asleep state.

Just as she was about to drift off to sleep, she felt as if there was something she hadn't done yet.

Oh, I haven't mentioned Li Yuhe's matter to Li Chenbi yet.

This was the purpose of her coming up today. She couldn't let herself be tormented for so long for nothing. She had to bring it up now that Li Chenbi had calmed down.

With difficulty, she opened her eyes and looked at Li Chenbi.

Li Chenbi propped his head up with one hand, and although he couldn't see, he was facing her as if he were looking at her.

Fan Liuer couldn't help but marvel at his good looks once again.

"Second Master," she said softly.

Li Chenbi lowered his face again, gesturing for her to speak.

"Miss Yuhe came to see me today."

Li Chenbi acknowledged, he knew about it. No one in the Li residence was allowed to enter the North Courtyard without his permission, and someone had already informed Li Yuhe when she requested an audience at the North Courtyard gate.

Fan Liuer mentally considered how to begin.

She was a little unsure of Li Chenbi's attitude towards Li Yuhe. Although Li Yuhe said that Li Chenbi was very good to her, Li Yuhe was the kind of girl who would remember even the slightest kindness from someone. She wasn't sure if Li Chenbi really cared about Li Yuhe as much as Li Yuhe claimed.

After all, Li Chenbi and Li Yuhe's parents really didn't get along.

After waiting for a while without hearing anything further, Li Chenbi finally spoke up: "What's wrong? Did she cause you trouble?"

"No, not at all," Fan Liuer immediately denied. "What I meant was that Miss Yuhe is quite pitiful; the master and mistress haven't treated her very well."

"This time she spoke up for me, so the master and mistress will definitely not let her off the hook. Once Li Yufeng's condition stabilizes, they will definitely go after her."

"Do you have any way to save her from this ordeal?"

Li Chenbi fell silent after hearing her words.

Fan Liuer stared at his face; his eyes were covered, so she couldn't tell his emotions or guess what he was thinking.

After a long silence, Fan Liuer felt a little flustered.

Could this matter be so troublesome that even Li Chenbi is at a loss?

Just as she was wondering which part would be more troublesome, Li Chenbi spoke up.

The voice was no longer as languid as before; it was somewhat deep and cold.

"Fan Liuer".

Upon hearing this, Fan Liuer immediately became wary and stared wide-eyed at Li Chenbi.

His face still showed no emotion, but Fan Liuer knew this was a sign that Li Chenbi was angry.

Something's not right. Something's definitely not right.

He swallowed hard, and saw Li Chenbi raise his hand, tear off the cloth covering his face, revealing his gloomy eyes.

"So, this is why you came up here today."

Fan Liuer was speechless. Having spent so much time with Li Chenbi, this was the first time she had accurately captured the reason why Li Chenbi was angry.

Under Li Chenbi's gaze, she slowed her breathing and denied it, saying, "No, I just suddenly remembered."

Li Chenbi smiled upon hearing this, but his face remained expressionless. "Suddenly remembered?"

"Fan Liuer, do you think I don't know you? Would you have come up to me if you didn't need something from me?"

"I'm afraid even if I die upstairs, you won't come up to see me."

That would be unfair to Fan Liuer. "Second Master, I'm not that heartless. If something really happens to you, I will definitely come to see you."

Her words did not appease Li Chenbi; instead, they intensified the coldness in his eyes, and his entire aura became visibly sharper.

"Okay, okay, okay." He said "okay" three times in a row, then looked at Fan Liuer.

"Fan Liuer, you're really great."

Fan Liuer knew this was definitely not a compliment, and felt a little uneasy.

Just as she was thinking about how to coax Li Chenbi to calm him down, Li Chenbi suddenly sat up.

He got off the bed, turned around and reached out to lift the covers, but stopped when he met Fan Liuer's slightly confused gaze.

Finally, he withdrew his hand, quickly put on his own clothes, and then picked up the clothes that Fan Liuer had thrown on the ground.

Only then did he lift the covers and pull Fan Liuer out of bed.

"Second Master, what are you doing?"

Fan Liuer was puzzled by his actions, and she really had no strength at all; she could barely lift her hands.

Li Chenbi ignored her and helped her put on her clothes.

After wrapping her up tightly, he bent down and picked Fan Liuer up in his arms.

Startled, Fan Liuer quickly wrapped her arms around his neck. "Second Master?"

Li Chenbi ignored her and carried her toward the door.

He opened the door, went downstairs, and arrived at Fan Liuer's bedroom. He threw her onto the bed and then turned and left.

I didn't control my emotions when I left, and I slammed the door a bit too loudly.

Not only was Fan Liuer stunned, but even the servants outside the door were dumbfounded.

The group exchanged bewildered glances.

What's going on?

Is Second Master angry again?

But that doesn't seem right. If he were angry, why would he carry someone down and take them back to their room?

Not angry?

Ha, that door was almost smashed open, it's no wonder they're angry.

The servants couldn't figure it out, and neither could Fan Liuer.

She thought Li Chenbi was really strange. If he was angry, he should just say so. He even dressed her and carried her downstairs.

If you're not going to say it, then don't show it. What does slamming the door mean?

But Fan Liuer was so tired and weak that she couldn't think of anything and fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was already dark outside.

Siqing was sitting on the chair next to her reading a storybook. When she saw Fan Liuer wake up, she put down the storybook.

"Madam Fan, you're awake? Are you hungry? I've had the food kept warm; I'll bring it to you as soon as you're hungry."

Fan Liuer slept in a daze. She looked out the window and saw that it was already dark outside.

"What time is it?"

It's the hour of Xu (7-9 PM).

Fan Liuer nodded, and as she was about to get out of bed, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where is Second Master? Did he come by while I was sleeping?"

Siqing shook her head, "I haven't been here. I carried you down from the hillside and left the manor. I haven't returned yet."

As she spoke, she looked at Fan Liuer, her expression hesitant.

Fan Liuer knew what she was going to ask, and spoke first before she could answer.

"Didn't manage to appease her, messed things up."
