Chapter 41 Support (1)

Perhaps, it was indeed as Li Youde had said. His amiable manner really made her turn willful. If she heard Li Youde say this when she first time-traveled, she wouldn’t even blink her eyes. However, she felt now that she was getting mad at his attitude and she really wanted to respond to him without care, “Yes, I really thought that. I’m too lazy to be bothered with you, this exasperating eunuch.”

Chen Hui lowered her head and didn’t look at him. She took two deep breaths and let her voice sound calm, “Lord, you have guessed wrong. This Lady Chen doesn’t want to leave here…The reward I want is just for lord to believe me.” After saying this with lowered head and let her emotions completely calm down did Chen Hui raise her head to look at Li Youde, “Is lord willing to give this reward?”

Perhaps, it was because Chen Hui’s voice was calm enough as if the spring breeze was blowing, Li Youde’s inexplicable anger was slightly soothed. He looked at Chen Hui as if trying to poke out her true thoughts from her calm face.

The thing that Li Youde hated the most was his subordinates lying to him. Although, Lady Chen wasn’t his subordinate, she was now a member of his courtyard. Meeting another man in broad daylight, where did she leave his face? He had held back hard at noon and didn’t catch these two people on spot was also for his own face. He even thought at that time that Lady Chen would leave with the man, after all, no one else was around to watch her at that moment.

He recalled that when she first came, she wanted to commit suicide. Although, she compromised later, how could she want to willingly follow him, a eunuch? She would probably run away the moment she got the chance! What asking him to believe her once? However, she was very smart. She knew that it would be useless to mention other rewards, so, she deliberately said this.

Li Youde sneered, “What if I refuse to give it?”

Chen Hui said, “…Then I change for another one?”

Li Youde listened to Chen Hui who was apparently trying to play down things. A baffling anger surged in his heart. Taking out the reward to let him believe her, she loosened after he made it somewhat difficult for her?

Li Youde held back his anger and said, “What do you want to change it for?”

Chen Hui thought for a while and said, “Then, change it with: hoping lord to not be angry and forgive me this time. Of course, lord, this Lady Chen didn’t admit to any accusation. Since lord is unhappy that this Lady Chen met up with him, then, it is this Lady Chen who is wrong. This Lady Chen will naturally not commit the same mistake again in the future.”

Li Youde’s mood became uncontrollably better because of Chen Hui’s words. In such a short period, his mood was like the ocean waves, going up and down. On one hand, he felt that this woman’s words were not credible. On the other hand, he was happy to hear them.

“Is it meaningful to change the broth but have the same old medicine?” Li Youde humphed once.

  • Different broth but the old medicine: a change in form but not substance.

Chen Hui keenly noticed that Li Youde’s anger seemed to have dissipated a lot. The furious look of before was gone. She also smiled boldly, “There is meaning, lord…These two rewards have different meanings to me. I hope that lord can give me the first one…I obviously told the truth, but the feeling of being suspected is really uncomfortable.

The slightly coquettish tone at the end made Li Youde look up at Chen Hui. At noon, he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, but when he confronted her at this moment, hesitation emerged in his heart. If by any chance, he truly misunderstood her…

Before Li Youde could decide what to do, he heard someone knock on the door. The knock was cautious as if that person was afraid to hit a thunder.

However, no matter how small the sound was, it couldn’t change the fact that it disturbed the two people in the room. Li Youde yelled, “Get out!”

The knock on the door stopped. That person courageously said, “Answering lord, someone came. He called himself Wen Jing and said…said that he came for Lady Chen.”

Li Youde didn’t know who the person meeting Chen Hui today was. Hearing this news now, his eyes turned sharp and he shot at Chen Hui like lightning.

Chen Hui felt that the God of Bad Luck might have fallen in love with her today, otherwise, how could there be so many calamities? One calamity hasn’t been resolved yet when another was coming. Did he want to force her to death?

“He was the one who met this Lady Chen at noon,” Chen Hui lowered her head and explained, “But this Lady Chen has already made it very clear to him at that time.”

Li Youde laughed coldly, “Very clear? Then tell me, what is the matter with the person outside?”

“This Lady Chen doesn’t know,” Chen Hui said. Only a ghost would know why that Wen Jing was so persistent. What she said during the day was so heartless, how could he still dare to come? Was he planning to make a big fuss and take her down with him?

Li Youde got up quickly and said, “Let’s go and have a look!” When he walked to Chen Hui’s side, he stopped, looked at her and said, “Let’s go, Lady Chen. Your lover has come, don’t you want to quickly go see him? It may be the last time!”

He sneered twice coldly and strode out.

Chen Hui followed him helplessly and soon came to the front yard. Wen Jing was being blocked by several servants.

“Lady Chen, Lady Chen, where are you? I want to see her! Don’t block me, I want to see Lady Chen!” Wen Jing yelled loudly, but the servants were pressing on him. He couldn’t move even if he wanted to.

Li Youde stepped closer. Due to the light of the lantern, Wen Jing saw the person behind Li Youde. His eyes lit up immediately and he shouted, “Lady Chen! Lady Chen, I came to look for you, Lady Chen!”

When Chen Hui got closer, she smelled the alcohol on Wen Jing, but his gaze didn’t seem to be so drunk to the point of irrationality. Perhaps, he was just using the wine to be courageous.

Seeing that Li Youde had come, Ah Da who was monitoring the situation, handed over a letter.

Li Youde took it indifferently and spared the letter a few glances. Then, he looked at Chen Hui coldly and threw it at her.

The paper was too thin. Chen Hui wasn’t able to catch it and it fell to the ground. She lowered her body to pick it up and barely saw the words on it through the light of the lantern.

This was a letter brimming with love, telling the passionate love she has for her lover and the writer of the letter was the original.

Ah Da who had taken one look at the letter for verification, quickly backed away now to dodge this. Originally, he didn’t have to let this drunkard who called himself Wen Jin come into Li residence. However, Wen Jing held a letter written by Lady Chen and he was afraid that Wen Jing would make a commotion outside of Li residence. So, he had to get the person and let someone go ask for lord’s instruction.

“Really brimming with affection and very corny,” Li Youde squinted Chen Hui coldly and said mockingly.

  1. The handwriting is probably wrong though? Like there’s no way Chen Hui and the OG write the same…
