Chapter 38 Lover (1)
Chen Hui suddenly looked at Li Youde. Her wide-opened eyes flashed with weeping grievances.
Li Youde frowned. He had a cold expression and didn’t speak.
The depressive atmosphere struck Chen Hui like Mount Tai. Her shaking hands slowly went to her front piece of clothes. She looked a long time at Li Youde and tears suddenly fell.
As if a flood was opened, Chen Hui’s emotions seemed to have been detonated in an instant. She covered her face and cried. As she cried and choked, she said, “Lord bullies people…Lord, why do you always bully this Lady Chen? This Lady…Lady Chen didn’t do anything wrong to lord…Woowoo…This Lady Chen always wanted to help lord…Lord is really so bad!”
Li Youde was also stupefied while standing here. He used to battle with Chen Hui in the past, but she had never cried so miserably. Every cry seemed to be full of grievances and resentment. He was at loss for a while about what to do.
Chen Hui put down her hands and looked up at Li Youde. She stared at him with red eyes, slowly walked over to stand in front of him, inhaled deeply and gently grasped his clothes. She put her forehead against his chest and continued to cried aggrievedly, “Lord, don’t bully this Lady Chen anymore, okay? This Lady Chen will do my best to help lord. Lord, don’t dislike this Lady Chen and also don’t always embarrass this Lady Chen, okay?”
Li Youde listened to the heartbreaking cry in his ear. He glanced down to see this thin-shaped body that was leaning on him like a small bird.
He was also surprised that he didn’t push her away immediately. What flabbergasted him more was that her soft slender waist gave him the urge to hug her so as to comfort her in an instant. The fingers hanging beside him trembled. In the end, he didn’t do anything, but his heart softened.
“Alright, wipe your tears. What are you crying for?” Li Youde humped, “It was just a joke. Look at how scared you are. Lady Chen, when did you become so timid?”
Chen Hui felt relieved and finally let go of Li Youde. It hadn’t been in vain to cry loudly and act weak. The scene of just now was almost impossible to control. If she hadn’t been witty and chosen to act weak, presumably, it wouldn’t have been easy to deal with. What joke…If he was joking just now with that expression, she would not eat meat for three days!
“Woo…I knew that lord is the best and won’t treat this Lady Chen like this.” Chen Hui still had her head lowered against Li Youde’s chest and choked as if she couldn’t calm down her emotions for a moment.
Li Youde was also unexpectedly tolerant at this moment. When Chen Hui’s choking voice weakened, he seemed to say casually, “But Lady Chen, don’t play tricks with me in the future, otherwise…”
Chen Hui was shocked. Presumably, he had realized that she had lied to him because of the bra. Before she had time to think about it, she hurriedly raised her head to look at Li Youde, wiped her tears and said, “Lord, don’t worry. How would this Lady Chen dare to play tricks with you…?”
Li Youde raised an eyebrow and his eyes fell on the bra that Chen Hui was pinching in her hands. Looking at her tear-stained face, he didn’t mention letting her try it on in the end. He just said, “Just do well what I told you to do.”
“Yes, lord,” Chen Hui took a step back and nodded.
Li Youde went out. Chen hui motioned for Xiao Tiao to quickly lock the door. Then, she collapsed on the bed without care for her image.
“Lady, are you okay?” Xiao Tiao asked worriedly. She saw clearly what had happened just now. It was just that she didn’t dare to say anything even when she saw that Lady Chen suffered grievances. Her fear for Li Youde had already gone deep into her bones.
Chen Hui had her eyes closed and said, “I’m fine. Let me just lie down for a moment.”
Seeing Chen Hui’s calm face, Xiao Tiao also breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen hui only rested for a while when she felt that she was resurrected. What had happened just now was a bit thrilling, but didn’t she also go through it? If she found that right way, Li Youde was nothing more than that.
After resting for a while, Chen hui had regained her high-spirited will to fight. She motioned for Xiao Tiao and her to continue working again. She got even more enthusiastic after being scared like that by Li Youde. She had to do this well to satisfy Consort De!
Afterwards, Chen Hui spent two days in Chrysanthemum Yard without stepping out of the room. She made bras day in and day out and even made a set of underwear that would definitely make men bleed when they saw it…Of course, Xiao Tiao who was the first one to see it aside from Chen Hui, was also the first one to blush and bleed.
Li Youde didn’t come to look for Chen Hui these past two days. When Chen Hui finished, she asked Xiao Liu to find a time to inform him. Li Youde returned that night and Chen hui had also taken out a square brocade box early on. The eight sets of underwear were inside it.
Li Youde opened the box and looked at it for a while. A satisfied smile gradually appeared on his face.
Chen Hui said, “Lord…will you mention their origins when you give them to Consort De?”
Li Youde looked up at Chen Hui and asked, “Lady Chen, you want to show your face in front of Consort De?”
Chen Hui hurriedly shook her head, “Answering lord, this Lady Chen feels that it will be better to stay inside the residence peacefully. If there is the honor that Consort De asks about it, this Lady Chen hopes that lord will help cover-up.”
She didn’t want the people in the palace to set their eyes on her. Bras were really too advanced in this era. She really couldn’t explain it clearly and was afraid to attract trouble in the future. She felt that her current life was already her ideal state of life. She has things to eat and drink every day; when she is happy, she could draw some sets of clothes and hang them in the cloth shop; when she is bored, she could go out, have a stroll and buy whatever she wanted…She was not greedy. Compared with when she first time-traveled here, she felt that she was already living in heaven now. And Li Youde, this annoying person, was just a price she has to pay for this kind of life and it was a price that she could afford.
“Oh?” Li Youde looked at Chen hui with some curiosity and said slowly, “Lady Chen, if Consort De knows that you made these and she likes using them, perhaps, you will receive her grace and can move out of my residence!”
This exasperating was deliberately saying this to stab at her again!
Chen Hui said with integrity, “Lord, this Lady Chen doesn’t want to move out. It is better to stay here at lord’s residence.” She smiled flatteringly again, “There is lord to protect this Lady Chen here. Anyone can bully this Lady Chen if this Lady Chen moves out. That is not good.”
“You are honest,” Li Youde sneered, closed the brocade box and left without saying anything.
Chen Hui knew that he would definitely not tell anything about her. Presumably, by then, he would make an excuse that it was from overseas or use a similar excuse.
Li Youde didn’t come back from the palace in the next few days. Chen Hui felt so free like a horse whose reins had been thrown off. She put out her spirits of exploring. Sometimes, she would go to the north of the city to see the high gate compound of the rich and powerful people. Sometimes, she would go to the east of the city to see the daily life of ordinary people. She would think about which restaurant to go to today and which inn to go to tomorrow. Anyway, it was Li Youde’s money that was spent and he didn’t say to not let her spend, so, she didn’t feel bad at all.
This day, Chen Hui heard that a small vendor’s Thousand Sheets Noodle Soup was so delicious that she ignored Xiao Liu’s obstruction and went to the roadside stall to eat noodles. She deliberately chose the table at a corner. She stopped Xiao Tiao when she was about to wipe the stool and sat down.
Xiao Liu looked around nervously and persuaded without giving up, “Lady Chen, this kind of place is not suitable for you. If master knew…”
“Can he beat me if he knows?” Chen Hui asked Xiao Tiao to go to the vendor to order three bowls of signature noodles and continued to smile at Xiao Liu, “Just because I ate a bowl of noodles?”
Xiao Liu was stumped for words. He felt that this Lady Chen truly could use any fallacious reasoning. How was this just a problem of a bowl of noodles?
Chen Hui kindly comforted Xiao Liu, “Don’t think about it anymore. It is just eating a bowl of noodles, what is the big deal? The security of the capital isn’t that bad, right?”
As soon as Chen Hui finished speaking, a man sat down in front of her.
Chen Hui was slightly startled and she was very unhappy at seeing this person. Her crow’s beak passive ability hasn’t been activated for a long time. Why did this person have to come to look for trouble?
