Broken Bonds

Chapter 20

Beitang's eyebrows frowned slightly, "What is that smell?" 

Yan Feili knew that the smell of the medicine hadn't dissipated yet, and the Sect Master had a profound cultivation skill and his keen smell was exceptional, but even Yan Feili could still smell it.

He wouldn't lie to Beitang Ao, but he didn't know how to answer him.

Beitang Ao walked to the table, picked up the uncleaned medicine bowl, smelled it, and glanced at Yan Feili.

He knew this medicine too well.

Because of his aversion to the uncleanness of prostitutes, he also kept several clean chambermaids in his Marquis's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty. However, he would never let those women with low status conceive his offspring. Therefore, everytime he would sleep with them, he would ask them to take the secret medicine in advance to prevent conception.

Although this medicine was not much the same as that used by the Ming Dynasty's imperial family, Beitang Ao still knows its efficacy.

"Where did you get this medicine?" He put down the medicine bowl and looked at Yan Feili, "Did Doctor Qiu give it to you?" 

Yan Feili nodded, "This subordinate asked him for it today."

Beitang Ao looked at the open request letter on the table, and thought for a while. He didn't know if he was talking to Yan Feili or talking to himself, and said in a low voice, "It's fine, if it happens again, it will be inconvenient for you to go to the battlefield. "

Yan Feili heard his words, and his body shivered slightly.

Beitang Ao walked to him and said, "You are leaving in three days, I will stay with you in these next few days."

Yan Feili looked up and he opened his mouth, seemed to want to say something, but finally said nothing.

******

Beitang Ao left the Bamboo Courtyard in the middle of the night, and Yan Feili lay on the bed, his body was still covered with traces of affection.

He doesn't understand why. The Sect Master has obviously agreed to let him leave, but he will always come to him late at night these few days.

Who on earth does the Sect Master regard him as? Is it as a sex tool? However, although the master is not particularly close to women, there is still no shortage of women for him to be bedded, and the wedding is only one month away. How can it be himself that he sleeps with?

What does the Sect Master think? Yan Feili didn't dare to ask, and didn't want to ask.

Ever since he gave birth to Li'er, he and Beitang Ao have been in this kind of relationship, and they can't break it, even if they wanted to.

Even if this is just a momentary effort by Beitang Ao, he didn't want to break this short dream before he got married.

He wanted to ask the Sect Master, how is Li'er now? Does he look good? How old is he? Who does he look like? People say that 'a child is the heart of the mother'! This is really correct.

When he dreams in the middle of the night, he would stretch out his hand to the pillow beside him countless times, hoping that the child was still sleeping soundly by his side, but when his hand came upon it, it was always empty and cold.

He was an orphan since childhood, raised by an old beggar, and never experienced his parents' affection.

When he was a child, he often heard this sentence, "a child is the heart of the mother". When he saw a mother holding her son's little hand to buy things in the street, he was extremely envious.
