Chapter 46 Tolerate (3)
When Chen Hui came out after changing clothes, Xiao Tiao whispered, “Lady, brother Ah Da is looking for you.”
“Ah Da? What is the matter?” Chen Hui asked casually while wiping her hair.
Xiao Tiao said, “It is something related to lord. Brother Ah Da didn’t say anything.”
Chen Hui put on her coat and wrapped a towel around her head. Then, she walked to the door, opened the door and looked outside through the slit.
As expected, Ah Da was still waiting there. Hearing the door open, he looked over, but only saw Chen Hui’s eyes. After being dumbstruck for a moment he asked, “Lady Chen?”
Chen Hui said, “It’s me. What is the matter?”
Ah Da looked embarrassed, “Lady Chen, normally, lord doesn’t let servants serve him when he has a bath. Now, he hurt his arm and it is inconvenient. I wonder if lady can…”
Before he finished speaking, Chen Hui slammed the door of the room shut.
Ah Da was dumbstruck for a while before he knocked on the door, “Lady Chen, Lady Chen, open the door and listen to this little one. Lady Chen! Lady Chen!”
Because Ah Da didn’t give up, Chen Hui who got annoyed finally opened the door of the room again. She looked at Ah Da and said resolutely, “Can’t!”
Ah Da was dumbstruck for a moment before he realized that she was answering his previous request. He sighed in his heart. Ah Er should’ve been the one to come tell her. Ah Er helped Lady Chen recently a lot. It must be easier for him to talk to her. But now he has come and could only brace himself and do it.
“Lady Chen, have pity and go help lord…,” Ah Da persuaded with all his heart.
Chen Hui said, “Firstly, lord didn’t say anything, why do you bother about it? Secondly, if lord refused to let you do it, would he let me do it? I feel that you let me go do it, is the same as me hitting lord with a stone and cause resentment. Go pick a smaller stone to throw.”
“What?”
“In other words, to act in a way that defeats one’s purpose,” Chen Hui said, “To summarize, I won’t do it.”
She closed the door again and this time, Ah Da didn’t knock on the door again.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw Xiao Tiao stare at her blankly. Chen Hui threw the towel and saw her catch it in a hurry. She smiled, “Come, help me wipe my hair. After it is dry, let’s go sleep.”
Xiao Tiao responded quickly.
While Chen Hui was enjoying Xiao Tiao’s service comfortably, she was thinking about nonsense. Li Youde refused to let anyone help him when he washes. It was very simple. He is a eunuch. Not only did that place have ugly scars, but it is also the eternal mark of his identity, representing a kind of humiliation that everyone despised. How could he be willing to let anyone see it? Therefore, no matter who it was, it was impossible for him to let anyone get close to his body. Now, that one hand was injured, he still has the other hand. Although, it was more troublesome, it was not impossible to wash up successfully.
Chen Hui didn’t want to trouble her upper body, especially when she had been bitten twice by Li Youde today. She was still feeling gloomy and was even more unwilling to take the initiative to seize Li Youde’s inconvenience.
Xiao Tiao’s movements were very gentle. Chen Hui closed her eyes and felt drowsily comfortably. Just when she was about to fall asleep there was a sudden bang outside, which scared away her sleep bugs.
Xiao Tiao’s eyes widened and looked at the door like a frightened pufferfish and as if she could see the outside through the panel of the door. Chen Hui put on her clothes and wrapped her almost dry hair casually on the top of her head. She opened the door and walked out.
There was a commotion outside and several servants gathered near the door of the main room, but none of them got in.
When Ah Da saw that Chen Hui has come, his eyes lit up and he said in a low voice, “Lady Chen, lord seemed to have fallen…but he wouldn’t let us in.”
“Oh… then wait outside,” Chen Hui also whispered. She looked inside. There was a small room behind the door of the main room which was tightly closed.
Ah Da was dumbstruck and said with a bitter face, “But lord injured his arm. I don’t know how bad the fall is…”
Chen Hui gave him an analysis, “Ah Da, look, if you wait obediently outside, you won’t be blamed for the fall when lord comes out. At most, you will get a scolding. However, if you force your way in and saw something you shouldn’t see and lord gets angry….,” Chen Hui gestured on her neck.
Ah Da’s face turned pale. The complexion of the others was also not good.
Chen Hui said, “So, you see, isn’t it more beneficial to wait outside? Besides, since lord still has the strength to tell you not to go in, he will be fine. What are you afraid of?”
As soon as Chen Hui’s voice fell, there was another loud noise inside.
The few people outside looked at each other.
Ah Da raised his voice, “Lord…”
There was no response from the inside.
Ah Er also called, but there was still no response.
Ah Da hurriedly turned his head at Chen Hui and said probingly, “Lady Chen…”
But before he finished speaking, Chen Hui said, “I have a good idea! Ah Da, go inside and see how lord’s situation is and get him out. When lord wakes up, we just say that we don’t know who brought him out.”
Xiao Liu said, “Lord will punish everyone that way.”
Xiao Wu echoed, “Right! That way, these little ones didn’t perform our duties well and don’t even know who brought lord out. So, we will definitely be punished.”
Chen Hui said solemnly, “So, to not be punished, are you not even willing to save lord? What is the use of lord to spend so much money and energy to support you?”
Several people felt that what Chen Hui said seemed very reasonable, but they felt that something was not right. They fell into deep thought for a moment and didn’t know how to respond. At this moment, Xiao Jiu suddenly felt that his nose was a bit itchy and couldn’t help but sneeze. To avoid him, Ah Da subconsciously dodged to aside. Because of this dodge, he bumped into Chen Hui. She only felt a strong force coming from behind, staggered and fell forward. It wouldn’t have mattered if there was a wall in front, but she had been standing in front of the door of the bathroom for a long time. When she pressed her palm on the door to stabilize her figure, the panel was knocked open by her strength and she instantly fell forward on the ground.
- Xiao Jiu was the one who tripped her in Chapter 31
When Xiao Jiu saw that he caused trouble again, he was frozen on spot from the shock. When Xiao Liu saw it, he quickly pulled Xiao Jiu and ran, “Run, the door has been opened!”
The rest of the people also came back to their senses and ran out one by one, but they didn’t run far away. Instead, they said one after another to Chen Hui across the wall, “Lady Chen, trouble you to take care of lord.”
Chen Hui, “…” This group of animals!
- Chinese people scold others for being animals/beast when they feel the other party has no conscience.
