I married an exasperating eunuch Chapter 25 part 3

Chapter 25 Treasure (3)

She moved over, looked at him and asked, “Lord, where are you tired?”

Li Youde said lazily, “My whole body doesn’t feel right today. Massage me.”

Chen Hui responded aggrievedly and massaged Li Youde.

“Not bad,” Li Youde closed his eyes slightly and showed a comfortable expression on his face.

Chen Hui took the opportunity to stick out her tongue at him and made a funny face. She continued to massage him with lowered head. After massaging for a long while, she suddenly became in bright spirits and said to herself, if Li Youde suddenly got a conscience and feel that she, his lifesaver, is too bad and he would be letting his ancestors down (by keeping her), how great would it be if he would give her a big house and set up another registration for her  (divorce her) in the future…

Chen Hui thought for a few times in her heart and then looked at Li Youde again. He still had his eyes closed and was enjoying the massage. There was no sign of getting a conscience at all.

Alright, she understood now. The so-called crow’s beak was that good things won’t come true and bad things would come true…

When the carriage stopped, Chen Hui immediately stopped her sore hands. When Li Youde opened his eyes, she calmly said, “Lord, we have arrived.”

Li Youde nodded, glanced at Chen Hui’s hands and exclaimed, “Lady Chen, you really have a pair of skillful hands.”

Chen Hui lowered her head pretentiously. Did he think that because of one praise, she would be delighted to massage him in the future? In his dreams! Even her parents haven’t enjoyed this. They would give her at least hundred yuan as reward for a massage.

Li Youde was in a good mood. He got out of the carriage smilingly and waited in front of the carriage for Chen Hui to get out of the carriage. Then, they walked forward together.

Chen Hui raised her head and looked at the magnificent two-story building in front of her. She felt pain in her heart. If her gut was bigger, maybe, this store would be hers now…No, she shouldn’t think about it anymore. She would feel so much heartache that she wouldn’t be able to breathe.

The people from the store naturally recognized Li residence’s carriage. Wen Li Youde and Chen Hui stepped into the House of Jewels, the shopkeeper was already waiting by the side. He smiled flatteringly at Li Youde and his gaze passed over Chen Hui unintentionally. He was slightly surprised, but retrieved her gaze quickly. In the past, he only saw Lord Li bring Lady Jiang over. Now, this one was a new face.

When Li Youde didn’t want to torment people, he naturally wasn’t stingy. He lifted his chin and said to Chen Hui, “Take whatever you like.”

“Thank you, lord!” Chen Hui replied happily. Hence, she went to sales counter under the guide of the clerk. She had massaged Li Youde for so long. This was her reward. If would be in vain if she didn’t take anything.

Li Youde was invited to sit at a side and drank tea. He looked at the figure of Chen Hui who was loitering on each and every gold, silver and jade artifact. He said faintly to the shopkeeper, “If Lady Chen comes in the future, let her choose whatever she wants.”

“Yes, lord,” The shopkeeper who stood by the side immediately responded.

After getting bored from sitting, Li Youde asked, “How is the business these days?”

The shopkeeper had long prepared. He immediately showed Li Youde the account book that he had prepared, but the latter waved his hand. Thus, he took back the account book and started talking.

Li Youde looked a bit absent-minded. When Chen Hui screamed “so beautiful” when she saw something beautiful over there, he sneered and said things like “no insight” and “country bumpkin”.

However, the shopkeeper didn’t dare to be careless. After meticulously finished talking about the recent situation, he was about to ask if there were any special arrangement in the future when he suddenly saw a group of people come in. He couldn’t help but be stunned and quickly said, “Lord, Lord Wang has come.”

Li Youde originally had his back facing the door. He only knew that Lord Wang has come after the shopkeeper mentioned it. His original relaxed appearance disappeared immediately and his face sank instantly. The corners of his eyes were slightly bent and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, giving a hint of fierceness.

He got up and looked at door. The moment he saw Lord Wang, he looked like a poisonous snake as if he wanted to tear Lord Wang into pieces.

The head of the group was Wang Youcai. He was slightly chubby and had a smile on his face. At first glance, he looked like a shrunken Maitreya. A closer look at his expression, even his smile seemed to brought poison.

Wang Youcai seemed to have known that Li Youde was here. He walked over full of smiles and said, “Oh, Lord Li, I didn’t expect that you have the mood to come out for a stroll.”

Li Youde also put on a fake smile and said, “What is Lord Wang saying? Even you have the mood, how can I not have it? I let Lord Wang be disappointed!”

Wang Youcai chuckled and said, “I didn’t expect that Lord Li still has such a good luck. All the dumb luck of this world had fallen on you!”

Li Youde laughed without yielding, “You flatter me. Luck is always better than bad luck. After putting so much effort to set up a trap, it was ruined at the last moment. If it had been me, maybe, I would’ve died from vomiting blood.”

“Hahaha…,” Wang Youcai laughed as if he had heard some joke. He laughed so much that his double chin shook slightly.

Li Youde also had a smile on his face. Just looking at the two people smiling at each other, others would think that they were close friends.

Wang Youcai suddenly took a step closer and looked at Li Youde with narrowed eyes. He lowered his voice and said, “Letting you escape today is because your luck was good, but there would be no such good luck next time.”

Li Youde gritted his teeth and replied, “Next time? Next time, it would be your turn, Wang Youcai!”

Wang Youcai took a step back. The two people’s eyes met fiercely and directly.

In the past ten years, the two had set traps back and forth for each other countless of times. Both had won and lost. A moment of carelessness might cause one of them to be ruthlessly suppressed by the other. Although, they were both court eunuchs, but the hatred between the two greatly overshadowed the resistance of the outside world. Even the civil officials knew the discrepancy between the two and took the opportunity to fish in troubled from time to time.

Originally, Chen Hui was watching the exquisite jewelry and jade pieces with the clerk. The ones sold here were all ingenious, making her look without blinking. She wanted to take each one home. Just when her passion was surging, she saw a person talking to Li Youde from the corner of her eye.

At first, Chen Hui thought that it was Li Youde’s friend, but after a few more glances, she realized that the ambiance between the two was tense and they were definitely not friends.

Perhaps because Chen Hui’s gaze lingered for a long time, Wang Youcai noticed her and suddenly laughed, “Lord Li, this is that Lady Chen, right? I think that she fell short by a large amount with Lady Jiang. You truly refuse nobody.”

After Chen Hui heard this, she wanted to kill this person. If they quarrel, just quarrel between them, why involve her? She is just a passerby. What did it have to do with her? And saying that she fell short? Where did she fell short?! Lady Jiang is a cold beauty, she (CH) also has a different kind of beauty! This country bumpkin who doesn’t know how to appreciate and has no insight!

Anger flashed by on Li Youde’s face. He squinted his eyes and said with a smile, “How would outsiders know Lady Chen’s good?!”

Hearing Li Youde say that and even knowing that he was trying to save face for himself, Chen Hui still felt a bit touched for a moment. She walked over quickly and planned to support Li Youde with actions. The contradiction between her and Li Youde belonged to internal conflict. Internal conflict should be settled internally. Now, they had to unanimously go against the outsider.

Chen Hui paused, “…” My god, is it still too late for her to turn around now?!
