“Madam asked this slave to stay and see if there was anything this slave could do to serve the master. Madam said Master has been working too hard these days!” Hong Xiu smiled.

A strong fragrance slammed into Li Fu’s nose and he instinctively stopped breathing. It was so rich and greasy that it made a person instantly feel dizzy.

It wasn’t necessary bad but Li Fu did not like it. He didn’t like perfume at all, not even the smell of powers or incense. Fangzhou had lived with him for so long, how could she not know this detail? Would she really send a maid like this to serve him?

Besides, Li Fu knew how jealous his wife was. It was absolutely impossible for her to specially send a maid to serve him!

Even if it was just sending tea, she would not ask them to stay.

Thinking about it, he looked at Hong Xiu with eyes like chips of ice and naturally noticed something unusual.

What courage!

Li Fu smiled coldly in his heart. Putting down his pen, he leaned back and put his hands slightly on the table. Looking up at her, he asked: “What kind of incense do you use?”

Hong Xiu did not expect him to ask this and her heart jumped a little, feeling ghostly. Quickly calming herself down, she smiled and said: “Master, this is newly bought powder. Do you… smell it too?” Asking this, she looked shy.

A lovely blush had appeared on her face and her eyes were moist. Under the light of the candle, she seemed to have a romantic charm that was not usually seen. Coupled with the fragrance, it was quite seductive.

Li Fu’s eyes darkened but his lips smiled: “Of course, it smells good!”

Hong Xiu was so happy to hear this! The master was praising her perfume! He must actually like her but she just hadn’t noticed yet. If she had known the master had such intentions, she would have taken action long ago. She wouldn’t have waited until today!

Boldly, she raised her head to look at Li Fu with a mixture of nervous and excitement and said coquettishly: “Does Master like this fragrance?”

Li Fu laughed but did not answer.

How could he like it? He didn’t want to say he liked it but he couldn’t reveal this just yet, so it was better not to answer.

It was up to her to decide what his silence meant.

Thinking that Li Fu was playing coy, Hong Xiu’s heart almost jumped out of her chest. At this moment, was there any need to be reserved? What was she worrying about?

“Master!” Hong Xiu cried lovingly and walked towards him, trying to curl up against him. “I have admired you for so long and I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life. Could I, could I be Master’s woman—”

“How dare you!” Li Fu pushed her away without hesitation and shouted: “You are so brave! Who gave you the courage to say such things?”

Hong Xiu was not his opponent and Li Fu’s strength caused her to crash to the ground with a scream. She sat there, looking up at Li Fu stupidly. The contrast between now and earlier was so huge that she didn’t know how to react.

Until she met Li Fu’s gaze. His eyes were so cold and ruthless, it was like a knife had stabbed her and a cold basin of water in winter, dousing her from head to toe!

“Master…” Her eyes widened as she stared at him in disbelief.

“Let me ask you again, what is going on with the fragrance on your body?” Li Fu said coldly.

He had already noticed something was wrong with it. As long as he didn’t get close, the fragrance wouldn’t confuse him.

Her face went pale and she could not hide the horror in her yes. Li Fu was even more suspicious and stared at her without blinking.

When Lian Fangzhou came back that night, Chun Xing immediately whispered to her that Li Fu had stormed off to Miss Qin’s yard. She didn’t know what he said to her but she had heard Miss Qin crying in pain and shouting that she had been wronged.

Lian Fangzhou’s heart jumped. She didn’t know what trouble that Miss Qin had caused this time.

It seemed her suspicion had come true, she really couldn’t hold back anymore.

Without waiting for Lian Fangzhou to ask, Li Fu came and told her: “I want Ah Qin to marry out this month. You help prepare her dowry, two or three thousand silver taels. Until she gets married, send Chun Xing or Bi Tao over to wait on her.”

Hearing this last sentence, Lian Fangzhou gave him a sideways look but he didn’t look at her. So she asked directly: “What happened tonight?”

Li Fu jumped and then laughed, sighing: “Forget it, I’ll tell you everything. If I don’t, you’ll jut hear it fro someone else so I might as well.”

He briefly told her everything Hong Xiu had done and how he had found out that her accomplice was Ah Qin. Smiling bitterly, he said: “Madam, tell me what has happened to Ah Qin! How could she become like this?”

She actually plotted against him and used such dirty methods. This was something that Li Fu could not tolerate, no matter what.

Shocked and angry, Lian Fangzhou thought to herself: How did she become like this? Isn’t it because of you? She was originally a servant but you gave her special treatment and now she refuses to give in! She wants more than what you can give her, what’s strange with her turning out like this?

Fortunately she did not succeed. Otherwise…

Otherwise? Lian Fangzhou didn’t want to think about it.

If something had happened between Li Fu and that damn Hong Xiu, even if it was not his intention, Lian Fangzhou would not have been able to accept it.

Miss Qin truly had a poisonous heart!

Was this what she called love? This so-called ‘wanting to stay by his side, even as a slave’?

This kind of deep affection was really ridiculous!

Seeing Lian Fangzhou’s face change several times and her eyes flicker, Li Fu felt a little nervous. Taking her hand tightly, he said: “Fangzhou, you have to believe me! I will never wrong you. As soon as that bitch entered the room, I knew something was wrong.”

This time, their opponent was either too stupid or too confident. It was a fluke but what about next time?

For some reason, Zhu Yuying’s face appeared in Lian Fangzhou’s mind.

“Xue Yiqing, is he a miracle doctor? Is he very powerful? Even more powerful than the imperial physicians?” Lian Fangzhou asked suddenly.

“Ah?” Li Fu didn’t expect this big jump in topic and was stunned for a moment. Then he nodded. “Naturally. I’ve seen his skill before, not to mention the imperial physicians, he’s the best I the world. You won’t find many talents like him!”

“Then what are you waiting for?” Lian Fangzhou stomped her feet. “Ask him to make us some preventive medicines. If someone comes with that kind of thing again, what medicine should we use? It’s good to have some precautions!”
