Wife, Please Stop Running Away!

030 : I Don't Mean To Be Rude But That Is Intentional (Part 2)

If not for suddenly becoming out of character, Lin Mian Mian will surely throw out a feast for Yin Mei Mei for winning a title on the Guinness book of records for having the thickest face of all. Her capability to look over something sensible is very high praising, almost making Lin Mian Mian want to smack the confetti on her face.

As what he can remember, the two of them separated in bad terms.

Because of Lin Mian Mian, Yin Mei Mei is under probation, shaking her most protected position from falling. If not due to the crises the empire is facing, she would be as good as those concubines on the cold palace. She must be very careful in her every actions since one more mistake is enough to push her away.

And yet, with all those red warning, she still courted death without fail.

Does she think that Lin Mian Mian is just a dog who only barks but cannot bite? You think his teeth are for decorations?

Only by just thinking of her makes his head hurts.

The rotten maids beside her notice his grim expression and could not help but to sigh. They wanted to at least help Lin Mian Mian in dealing with the harem but they don't have the ability oppress. They can only stand on the side to keep supporting Lin Mian Mian on his hardships.

While they were waiting for Yin Mei Mei to arrive, Han Luli took this time to look at the gift Fu Xiao San handed earlier. The gift was incased in a wooden container that has a slider lock. One only needed to push the upper part lightly to open the sealed object, - to which is what she just did.

An earthy scent of sandalwood coming from the container wafted to the surroundings. The discomfort coming from Lin Mian Mian's face suddenly changed as he subconsciously shifted his attention to the container. The two other maids who were stunned by the scent also looked at Han Luli. It seems that she was also surprised as she openly showed the gift towards their master.

In a single look, the object can be mistaken as a tea bag. If not from the fragrant scent it releases, Lin Mian Mian would not consider dipping the object to warm water. Zhao Yue inspected the scented pouch to see whether some unwanted herbs were placed inside. However, prior to earlier's surprise, her face contorted more as though disbelieving something.

Lin Mian Mian watched the funny expression of his maids and could not help but to ask, "What is it? Is there something wrong on it?"

"There's none," the maid honestly answered. "Actually, this is something unexpected."

"What do you mean?" Lin Mian Mian was intrigued.

"Master Lin, you see, this scented pouch is one of the Fu Family's best creations," Zhao Yue narrated smartly. "Even though they were business-related family, the other side of the Fu Family mainly deals with medicine. This scented pouch is filled to the brim with scented herbs."

"And these herbs are not cheap. They are often come with a very high price," Han Luli agreed. "And guessing from the smell, the herbs weren't young. They must have been century-old herbs!"

"Is it bad to my body?" Lin Mian Mian frowned. He somehow liked the smell. Don't tell him that there's a drug added inside?

"No, master. It is actually the opposite!" Shao Yue exclaimed. "This scented pouch will not only make the bearer smell good, it can also relieve stress and pains. Isn't master feeling bad earlier? After smelling it, did not your body feel better?"

"Indeed, it does," Lin Mian Mian nodded. Only by the first wave of the smell is enough to erase his nausea. However, why would Fu Xiao San give something like this? Is she not here to give him ill intentions?
