As the two were talking, Liu Changxian and Steward Lin had already reached the door.
Butler Lin frowned, about to speak, when Liu Changxian stopped him and whispered something in his ear. Butler Lin smiled, nodded, and withdrew.
Liu Changxian tidied her makeup and said with a smile, "Please forgive me for not welcoming the elders of the Liu family of the capital city."
Upon hearing Liu Changxian's words, Liu Liuli turned her head and said irritably, "Who's your elder! I'm only twenty years old!"
When Liu Liuli turned around and saw Liu Changxian's appearance, she widened her eyes in surprise, "So handsome!"
Liu Liuli never expected that Liu Changxian, the head of the branch Liu family, would be such a young and handsome man! She thought he was an old man!
Liu Changxian smiled and said, "I am Liu Changxian, the head of a branch of the Liu family."
"My name is Liu Liuli," Liu Liuli said shyly. "You can just call me Xiaoli!"
Liu Changxian frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Xiao Li? It's Li again..."
The image of Gu Liyan's stunningly beautiful face subconsciously flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but shake her head, trying to erase him from her memory.
He looked up at Liu Liuli and said, "Since you are younger than me, I will call you Sister Liuli. Please sit down, Sister."
Liu Liuli smiled and nodded, "Okay."
To everyone's surprise, Liu Liuli plopped down in the main seat, with her subordinates standing unceremoniously beside her. It was as if she had taken over the role of host.
Liu Changxian raised an eyebrow slightly, smiled, and asked without paying any attention, "I wonder what brings Sister Liuli here this time?"
Liu Liuli smiled and said, "I heard that the Liu family branch in the royal city has obtained a new antidote, so I would like to learn from Brother Changxian."
Liu Changxian smiled and squinted, "Studying is a good thing, but I'm afraid the harsh environment here might affect Liuli's impression of me."
"No, no, it's my honor to be able to come out and learn from Brother Changxian. Besides, our sect leader taught us that we must not be ashamed to ask questions and must study diligently!" Liu Liuli said with a smile.
Liu Changxian smiled without saying a word. Just then, Butler Lin brought in tea and was slightly taken aback when he saw Liu Liuli sitting in the main seat. He looked at Liu Changxian with a questioning gaze...
Liu Changxian smiled and nodded.
Butler Lin stepped forward, poured the tea, covered it, and then immediately withdrew.
Liu Changxian sipped his tea with practiced ease, even blowing on it gently. Seeing this, Liu Liuli imitated him...
As Liu Changxian sipped his tea and watched Liu Liuli, a slight smile crept onto his lips…
"Ugh—pfft—" Liu Liuli had just taken a sip of tea when she immediately spat it out, complaining with a look of disgust, "What kind of tea is this? Why is it cold? And so bitter?!"
"This is an anti-venom tea that I developed. For anyone who has been poisoned by snake people, using this anti-venom tea in combination with anti-venom drugs is an excellent remedy," Liu Changxian said with a smile.
Liu Liuli was so angry that her chest heaved. She stood up, pointed at Liu Changxian, and angrily shouted, "This is clearly cold, bitter tea! Are you kidding me?!"
Liu Changxian finished his tea and looked at Liu Liuli with a smile. "Sister Liuli, you're being too suspicious. If you taste it carefully, you'll find many Chinese herbs in it! If you don't believe me, try drinking it again."
Liu Liuli felt nauseous at the thought of that bitter taste. "I don't want to!"
Liu Liuli said angrily, "I'm tired. Find me a room to rest! Starting tomorrow, teach me how to prepare the antidote!"
"Alright—" Liu Changxian said with a smile, "Butler Lin, take Sister Liuli to guest room... number 3!"
Upon hearing Liu Changxian's words, Liu Liuli immediately became displeased. "Number 3? Are you kidding me? Someone of my status wants me to go to room number 3?!"
Liu Liuli was furious. She was, after all, representing the Liu family of the capital. It was bad enough that she was made to stay in a guest room, but to be ranked third was an insult to the Liu family of the capital!
Liu Changxian said helplessly, "Sister Liuli, I have no choice. Room number 1 is occupied by a patient who is severely poisoned, and it has become a complete isolation area. Room number 2 is occupied by the daughter of the city lord, and I can't very well ask the city lord's daughter to move rooms..."
"You..." Liu Liuli was so angry that she didn't know what to say.
Butler Lin walked in and said respectfully, "Miss Liu, please come with me."
Liu Liuli snorted coldly, ignored Liu Changxian, and turned to leave.
Watching Liu Liuli leave, Liu Changxian couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I should have put some wasabi or something in her tea! It would be so funny if Liu Liuli cried!"
Thinking of this, Liu Changxian checked the time. "It's time to prepare the medicine for that guy."
After Liu Changxian left, Gu Liyan had no intention of resting. Instead, he counted the hours to see when she would come to find him again. After he had counted for about three hours, he heard footsteps outside the door.
Gu Liyan excitedly jumped out of bed, ignoring her injuries, and barefoot opened the door, "Changxian, come here..."
Gu Liyan was stunned. In front of her was a girl wearing a white dress, who looked as cute as a doll.
Who is this? She seems even more difficult to deal with than that girl Wang Qi… Gu Liyan thought to herself, then decided it was better not to get to know her…
When Liu Liuli saw Gu Liyan's face, she was completely stunned. She had never seen a man so beautiful that even women might be jealous! Of course, that was her opinion before meeting Liu Changxian, but after seeing Gu Liyan, she realized that there were men in the world more handsome than Gongsun Que! Right before her eyes!
If I can't have Gongsun Que, having him is fine too~
Gu Liyan was about to close the door when Liu Liuli immediately stepped forward to stop him, "Wait!"
