Chapter 22 Framed (1)
Gu Tianhe had the most basic understanding and confidence in his martial arts. When the two people fell one after another, he stepped forward and came to Chen Hui. His face sank slightly. He unconsciously remembered the clever smile of Lady Chen when they first met. Even if he didn’t pay much attention to women usually, he knew that such a girl was hard to come by outstanding. It would be a pity if she perished like this.
Just when he reached out and almost touched the dagger on Chen Hui’s chest, his wrist was suddenly grabbed. He was slightly startled. The next moment, Chen Hui looked up blankly at him. Her face was full of residual fear and a moment of confusion.
Gu Tianhe didn’t let go of her hand for a while. Faced with a fragile look, no matter how hard-hearted a man was, he wouldn’t be able to help himself form taking pity on her.
Chen Hui blinked and finally recovered slowly.
Oh my god, she had almost diedd! It was a miracle that she was still alive!
She slowly sat up. Her eyes changed when she lowered to look at the dagger still stuck in her chest. Then, she felt that something was wrong…She didn’t feel pain!
The next moment she understood why she was ‘impervious to sword or spear’. Before, when she wanted to take the chicken, she just tucked the pear carelessly into her chest. Anyway, I wasn’t too big or dirty. Who would’ve known that it happened to block the dagger? As for the chicken, it was oily after all, so she held it in her hands. Just now when talking to the captor, the small chicken has been carefully held in her hand…Hey, where is her chicken?!
Chen Hui’s heart tensed. She looked around subconsciously and deliberately passed the bloody body of the captor on the ground and didn’t dare to let her gaze stay there too long. Only now did she discover that the chicken that had been thrown out just now had been separated from the handkerchief and was sitting lonely and dirtily on the ground as if laughing at her innocence.
Chen Hui didn’t have the time to mourn the chicken that she couldn’t eat anymore when she saw Li Youde who was a few steps away…It had been so long. She finally got to know the full name of this exasperating eunuch from others…He was staring gloomily at her hand. She was still holding Gu Tianhe’s hand.
Chen Hui shivered and hurriedly let go of Gu Tianhe. She pulled out the dagger out of her chest. She also took out the pear that had been so broken that it dripped and threw it on the ground. This dagger had never pierced anything before. Even if she was reluctant to part with the pear, she was unwilling to put stuff of unknown origin in her mouth.
She got up in panic and ran to Li Youde, “Lord! This Lady Chen was almost scared to death!”
“Stop!” Li Youde’s face went from blue to white. He looked trembling with fear at Chen Hui. His footstep also couldn’t help but pause.
It wasn’t that Chen Hui didn’t think about the consequences if she was caught when she came out to steal something to eat, but no matter how she thought about it, stealing a chicken was a trivial matter. After being caught, she wouldn’t be able to eat meat at most and she wouldn’t have a chance to come out in the future. After fully considering about the risks and benefits, she naturally came out without hesitation. However, after all, this world there were events with a small probability that humans could never predict. Such as this one. She was truly in despair, but what could she do? Originally, it was just a trivial matter, but now things were messed up by the captor, it became a big matter. From the point of view of this exasperating eunuch, she caused him a lot of trouble. She didn’t know of her ‘gaining his attention’ before could offset this ill feeling…
To make matter worse, when she was a bit dazed after having escaped from the death, her performance was truly too bad. She kept clamoring that she was ‘lord’s woman’, but what did she mean just now by holding the hand of another man? With such a large public, if she was that exasperating eunuch, she would also almost explode.
“Lord, this Lady Chen really felt apologetic for causing trouble to lord and hope that lord is not too angry, lest you hurt your body.” Chen Hui looked sorrowful at Li Youde. She had pondered for a moment and decided to swallow the words ‘please, punish this Lady Chen’. She was afraid that he would take the polite words seriously!
Li Youde sneered, “Why are you here?” He swept once over the captor. Ah Da reported that the other party was dead. He pursed his lips and glared at Chen Hui, “You have colluded with this person, right?!”
Li Youde was very angry at the moment or it was more appropriate to say that he flew into a rage out of humiliation. When the thief raised his dagger, his (LY) head seemed to have blanked out for a moment. When he regained his senses and saw that Chen Hui fell on the ground motionlessly, at that moment, there seemed to be anger, shock and a different inexplicable emotion. It wasn’t until when he saw her sat up and the pear hidden in her chest that took the stab for her that the normal him returned to his body.
Lady Chen made him be very scared and on edge for once and she entangled with another man, really hateful!
Chen Hui’s eyes widened and said, “Lord, are you serious? How could this Lady Chen collude with him? This Lady Chen doesn’t know him! He even threatened this Lady Chen with a dagger, causing my neck to bleed!”
Chen Hui said that casually so as to increase her grievances. As a result, she subconsciously reached out while talking and really felt a touch of stickiness on her neck. Looking down at her fingers, the dark red blood stains were glaring on her fingertips.
Chen Hui’s eyes reddened instantly. Just now, it was between the moment of life and death. She could hardly feel the pain then. Now that she was safe, the pain that had been ignored by her instantly emerged. She thought about what the dagger had stabbed before, what bacteria or viruses she had been infected with and she didn’t know if she was so unlucky to get tetanus. She suddenly felt sadder. How could she be so miserable? Forget it if she didn’t have meat to eat. She always got injured and was scared of being infected. Her life was really hard.
“Then, what did you come here for when you were fine in your yard?” As soon as Li Youde said something, he saw that Chen Hui looked blankly at the blood on her fingers and cried. There was a moment of chaos in his heart and then he reprimanded, “What are you crying for?! Such a small injury won’t kill anyone. Didn’t you hit a big bloody hole on your head before and lived well? Are you trying your best to mess with me?!”
Chen Hui ignored him. Anyway, he had said such unpleasant remarks more than once before. They enter her left ear and came out from her right ear. She was still immersed in her own miserable world. Thinking of her misery, she glanced at the chicken on the ground and felt even more sad. She tried so hard to slip out and was almost killed while being a hostage, in the end, she still didn’t get to eat chicken. How could she be so miserable!?!
Li Youde was angry at Chen Hui’s silent behavior. Seeing her gaze again at the uneatable chicken on the ground, he knew what she came out to do by just the thought of it. He felt that it was funny for a moment, but the next moment, he was annoyed. In the end, the words that came out of his mouth were cold as ice, “Lady Chen, do you think that I’m too kind to you? Roll back to Plum Yard. Don’t eat for a few days and think well about what is appropriate for you to do in the future!”
Chen Hui raised her head and looked once at Li Youde. For a moment, Li Youde felt as if she was about to throw her sleeves, walk away and show him her temper. However, the next moment, she nodded calmly and said, “Yes, this Lady Chen will receive the punishment and go back now.”
Hence, Li Youde felt that it was his illusion just now. Seeing her leave, he looked at the dead little thief and became more irritated for no reason. Who sent this person? That bitch surnamed Wang? That bitch made too many moves recently. Was he thinking again about how to trip him (LY)?
He really had a lot of troubles. The trivial matter of Lady Chen was naturally thrown to the back of his mind.
