Chapter 42 Injured Arm? (1)
When Chen Hui saw that Li Youde flew in a rage out of humiliation because of her cross-examination, she felt delighted, but she tried to restrain herself and kept a calm face.
“Alright, lord. Have a good rest. This Lady Chen will go back first,” Chen Hui said that with lowered head and slowly backed away.
Li Youde glared at her. He really had no place to vent his anger. He wanted to question her intensely and see her being stumped for words, but in the end, he got checkmated like that by her! What more could he do? Let people beat her?
Li Youde’s thoughts pause for a moment and nonchalantly went through the first and best option he had considered. He looked up and saw that Chen Hui was about to retreat to the outside. He opened his mouth and called her, “Wait.”
Chen Hui stopped abruptly and stood at the junction between the inner and outer room. She looked at Li Youde and asked nervously, “Lord, do you have any more command?”
Li Youde didn’t respond. He just subconsciously didn’t want her to leave like this, but he didn’t think about what to say after he had stopped her. He was really furious about what had happened today when he first learned about it, but now, it had turned from thunder to little rain. It was really frustrating when he thought about it, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Chen Hui was still waiting to see what kind of tricks Li Youde still wanted to play. She stared at him unblinkingly and was frightened.
Li Youde said with a stern face, “Lady Chen, although you didn’t instigate the matter today, capital crime may be forgiven but punishment is inevitable. Stay in the residence for the next ten days. Don’t go out to attract bees and butterflies!”
Chen Hui’s heart almost stopped beating when she heard ‘capital crime may be forgiven but punishment is inevitable’ and when she heard that he only said to let her stay in the residence for ten days, she instantly felt relieved. He didn’t say to confine her and not let her eat and drink well. It didn’t matter if she was locked up or not. Anyway, she also didn’t plan to go out in the upcoming days. Wen Jing almost caused her death, it was better for her to behave.
“Yes, lord. This Lady Chen will stay well in the residence and won’t go out,” Chen Hui responded happily, “If there is nothing else, this Lady Chen will take my leave.”
Li Youde gave a hum. Chen Hui immediately retreated. When she walked to the door of the main room and as soon as she opened the door, she felt that the wind was a bit strong tonight. She looked up at the sky. There were dark clouds everywhere. She paused. After hesitating for a while, she turned around, looked at Li Youde who was in the inner room and said, “Lord, this Lady Chen thinks that it is going to rain. I’m afraid that it will be cold at night. Remember to cover yourself with more quilts before going to bed tonight to avoid catching a cold…”
Chen Hui hasn’t finished speaking yet, Li Youde responded with an annoyed and panicked rebuke, “Roll out!”
Chen Hui quickly covered her eyes and responded, “Yes, lord, this Lady Chen will roll out now! This Lady Chen swears that I didn’t see anything!”
She didn’t dare to delay anymore and ran out in a hurry. She indeed didn’t see anything. She only saw Li Youde taking off his pants and only saw a movement. She didn’t see anything crucial.
In the past, Chen Hui actually had no interest in Li Youde’s lower body. She knew that the wound on that place must be very hideous and Li Youde would never let people see it easily. However, today’s accident made Chen Hui feel a bit curious. She wondered how that place turned out to be. She couldn’t do such a thing as pulling off another’s pants, but she could use her imaginations!
However, after thinking about it for a while, Chen Hui decided to give up. It wasn’t good to stare at another’s lower body. She should forget everything…
Chen Hui didn’t guess wrong. When she woke up the next morning, she found that the ground was wet and the warm weather had cooled down. She went to bed early last night and got up early in the morning. When she opened the door, she found that doctor Zhou who she has seen once, had come to Chrysanthemum Yard. She pulled Xiao Wu over to inquire and learned that Li Youde seemed to have caught a cold last night. Hence, he invited a doctor over this morning.
Chen Hui felt the joy of wanting to gloat about ‘who let you not listen to the old man’s word?’. Yesterday, she kindly reminded him to pay attention to the weather. He yelled at her. See, didn’t he get retribution?
Chen Hui didn’t go to the main room to join the fun. She obediently had breakfast with Xiao Tiao and hid in her room to do her own things. Li Youde had many people over there and wouldn’t lack her. She was afraid that if she went over, he would remember what she said yesterday and think that it was her crow’s beak that made him catch a cold…that would be bad.
By noon, Rely Bamboo Pavilion probably got the news. Jiang Bihan sent Qingshu over to ask about the situation. After Chen Hui saw Rely Bamboo Pavilion’s intention, she also intended to act. She wouldn’t be able to justify not doing anything. So, she pulled Xiao Wu over and asked about Li Youde’s situation.
Xiao Wu said with a bitter face, “Lord took the medication, but he is still groggy and said that he wouldn’t eat anything.
Chen Hui said, “Why is he like a child?”
Xiao Wu looked at Chen Hui and pretended that he didn’t hear anything.
At this time, Chen Hui suddenly realized that the severity of illnesses in this era is completely different from the modern times. If it wasn’t handled well, Li Youde might die.
Thinking about it this way, Chen Hui felt more worried. She asked Xiao Wu, “Is lord already so groggy that he is unconscious?”
Xiao Wu thought about it and he didn’t seem to have said that, but when he met Chen Hui’s eyes, he subconsciously nodded and said, “Yes, yes…”
“Then, I should go see lord?” Chen Hui asked.
Xiao Wu suddenly showed a look of sincere trepidation. Why did Lady Chen ask him whether she should go see lord?
Fortunately, Chen Hui didn’t truly want to get an answer from Xiao Wu. She just asked for the show of it and walked to the main room.
Ah Da was standing by Li Youde’s bed. Seeing Chen Hui approach, he hurriedly walked over and whispered, “Lady Chen, lord just fell asleep. It is just that he isn’t sleeping that peacefully.”
Chen Hui took a look at Li Youde. It was probably early in the morning today that he felt unwell. He didn’t wear any makeup. At this moment, he had a frown and his cheeks were slightly red. Perhaps, because eunuch lacked male hormones, he looked quite young and quite harmless with his eyes closed.
