I married an exasperating eunuch Chapter 18 part 1

Chapter 18 To denounce (1)

Qingshu and the two others were stunned for a long time before she reacted and said hesitantly, “Lady Chen, you…”

Chen Hui raised her head and said naturally, “As you can see…I also feel that I have wronged Lady Jiang and feel sorry in my heart. I also have no better way than to express my sincerest apologies. You don’t have to bother with me. Just go as you please. I and Xiao Tiao will continue to express our apologies here until Lady Jiang is happy…oh, wakes up.”

Qingshu couldn’t speak. She couldn’t even say such words like “you are goofing off by laying”. After all, the reason of the other party sounded quite good.

“Then, then Lady Chen, you first…first continue be like that…” Qingshu turned hurriedly and left.

Chen Hui knew that Qingshu went to ask Lady Jiang for a countermeasure. She thinks that presumably no one in this world had encountered Qingshu’s situation. It was hard to deal with. Even she, the instigator finds her matter too hard to handle.

Thinking of this, Chen Hui couldn’t help but give herself a like.

She turned to look at Xiao Tiao. She saw that Xiao Tiao’s forehead was against the bluestone floor and she was sobbing quietly. Her thin shoulders were moving, but she didn’t dare to make too much noise.

Chen Hui whispered, “Xiao Tiao, follow me. You have to turn your head to the side. Although, it is a bit cold, it is comfortable lying on your stomach.”

Xiao Tiao stiffened. After a long time did she turn her head and whispered, “Lady, it’s, it’s all Xiao Tiao’s fault. Xiao Tiao is useless. If it wasn’t because of Xiao Tiao, lady wouldn’t have been implicated.”

Chen Hui said, “Don’t blame yourself. It was probably that they had designed to frame you. If it wasn’t you, it would’ve been someone else. Lie down comfortably now and if things change later, try not to speak as much as possible. Wait until you are asked and then just speak the truth.”

“Frame?” Xiao Tiao widened her eyes. Then, she nodded repeatedly, “This slave, this slave understands, lady. This slave…this slave will definitely not implicate lady again.”

Xiao Tiao had long been scared for destroying Lady Jiang’s favorite hairpin that her mind had been blank all this time. Like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow, she couldn’t withstand any fright any more. She still remembered that the one who gossiped about Lady Jiang behind her back had been beaten to death, then, what about her? Because of this frightening ending, she wasn’t able to utter a word before. Until when Lady Chen arrived, offered an apology on her behalf and took all the blame…She didn’t know why there was still such good masters like Lady Chen in this world. She was afraid of implicating Lady Chen and she was too stupid to know what to do. Then, she should just listen to Lady Chen. Lady Chen had always been so smart and has so many weird ideas. She just needs to be obedient. If, if master truly gets angry and blamed them, she hopes that master will only punish her and it will be fine if she was beaten to death. He must not by all means blame Lady Chen.

• A bird startled by the mere twang of a bow: someone who frightens easily due to past experiences.

Chen Hui smiled faintly, “Don’t worry. I have a countermeasure a long time ago. We are not afraid.”

Chen Hui’s voice gradually calmed Xiao Tiao. She obediently followed Chen Hui’s appearance and relaxed her body.

Qingshu came out after a short while. With forced smile, she said, “Lady Jiang has already woken up. She said that Lady Chen should go back first.”

Chen Hui said, “Then, has Lady Jiang forgiven I and Xiao Tiao? Is it that she would not mention this matter again in the future?”

Qingshu was stumped for words. She didn’t expect that Chen Hui would ask this question. Lady Jiang naturally didn’t mean to forgive easily, but she also couldn’t let Lady Chen continue to kneel in her yard…eh, lie. It was just that she could only say this ambiguously. However, this didn’t work on Lady Chen.

Looking at Qingshu’s hesitation, Chen Hui knew that they originally only wanted to make her and Xiao Tiao leave. When that exasperating eunuch come back, he would naturally get “justice” for Lady Jiang. Naturally, she couldn’t let them get what they wanted. As the saying goes, it is easier to invite the devil in than to send him way. She had already knelt. Did they think that they could drive her away so easily?

“It turns out that Lady Jiang still refuses to forgive me and Xiao Tiao. That should also be the case. Who let the thing that Xiao Tiao broke be so precious?” Chen Hui gave a long sigh, “It’s okay. I and Xiao Tiao will continue to kneel. Although, Lady Jiang is unwilling to forgive us, but we still have to be courteous. I have to trouble miss Qingshu to pass a message for Lady Jiang. Although, I am uncouth, but I also know how to be a well-mannered person. I am really sorry.”

Qingshu could only go back weakly because of Chen Hui’s “there is no other way”.

Chen Hui surmised how Qingshu and Lady Jiang were discussing countermeasures fretfully inside of the room. She felt extremely proud of herself. But in an instant, she suppressed her pride. Now, she was absolutely the weak party. Even if she racked her brains, she could only defend herself and nothing more. And, what that Lady Jiang was distressed about was that the trap she set up didn’t reach the purpose she expected. They were not equal at all.

So jealous.

Chen Hui looked at this elegant yard and the servants distributed to the yard. Her heart was filled with envy.

No, can’t be jealous. Jealousy will make me ugly.

She turned her gaze away and sighed in her heart. Her situation now was really a deadlock. It was impossible for her to return to her maiden home. One, was because she didn’t want to go back to the Chen household who used her as a tool. Secondly, that exasperating eunuch had said that even if she dies, she had to die at his place. Before, he fell from power, it was better for her to not think about leaving the residence. And the matter of currying favor by fawning him seemed to be endlessly long for an unspecified period. She hasn’t even gone on the right path yet, when someone who came to disturb her appeared, drove her from the right path in a luxurious car. Truly  too cruel.

Chen Hui was still full of puzzlement at Lady Jiang’s action. From the information she had been exposed to so far, Lady Jiang didn’t like that exasperating eunuch…Presumably, it was impossible for any ordinary girl to like that exasperating eunuch…She didn’t even show him a good expression. The temper and personality of that exasperating eunuch was obviously bad, but he still treated Lady Jiang with courtesy. Lady Jiang could completely be free of worries. Why was there the need to treat her, the one who entered chaotically, as enemy? She possesses no threat to Lady Jiang.

Thinking till here, Chen Hui suddenly quivered. Was it possible that because she saw that exasperating eunuch too little, she didn’t see some signs and Lady Jiang saw them and felt threatened? That was why, she acted against her? That being said, she should be happy that Lady Jiang started to target her?
