I married an exasperating eunuch Chapter 48 part 1

Chapter 48 The Department of Rites (1)

Chen Hui’s hand was already pressed on Li Youde’s belt. What made Chen Hui hesitate was that he just stared at her with wide eyes. She didn’t know what he thought of and he didn’t come out of a daze for a long time.

…Why doesn’t he stop her?!

Chen Hui knew that she couldn’t stop like this. If she stopped like this, it would be like she didn’t act well. However, she really couldn’t strip his pants off. If she succeeded, he really could strip her skin off!

The hand pressed on the waist moved slightly and went up into Li Youde’s clothes. Her cold hand touched warmth. She felt that the muscles of the person under her were stiff. His uninjured hand immediately reached out to press her hand. As a result, her hand got closer to the skin on his stomach.

Li Youde’s face turned green. He immediately squeezed Chen Hui’s wrist and pulled out her hand that was causing trouble.

Chen Hui felt relieved, but looking at Li Youde while pretending to be surprised. She said with a puzzled face, “Lord…”

The feeling of being in a disadvantaged position on the ground made Li Youde very uncomfortable. This woman on top of him had her clothes half-tied and revealed a smooth right shoulder. The teeth mark on the shoulder was bright red and dazzled the eyes. Silky-smooth hair draped over her shoulders and almost pasted on his body. She was kneeling between his legs and looked at him with a bewildered expression. The usual gentle and soft appearance looked like an alluring woman right now.

Li Youde’s heart was fiercely poked. Her red lips seemed to be repeating the sentence…Lord lord likes this Lady Chen and that was why you want to do whatever you please to Lady Chen.

Nonsense. Really nonsense!

An unprecedented panic hit his heart and he suddenly shouted, “Servants! Servants! You, get out!”

Li Youde’s words were almost incoherent and he seemed to be frightened by Chen Hui. This reaction shocked Chen Hui. She thought that he might only be angry, but this made her surprised. At the same time, she made some association…Could it be that he had almost been forced like this by a woman or a man in the past, so, it became a trigger when she did so?

Chen Hui didn’t dare to think more. She was busy pulling her clothes and getting up. However, she didn’t know when water was spilled on the ground next to her feet. As soon as she got up, she slipped and fell between Li Youde’s legs. Her forehead hit his chest heavily and both of them let out a groan.

At this same moment, the servants who heard Li Youde’s shout, rushed in. They saw this shocking scene the moment they came in and they were at loss about what to do.

They saw the lord who had always made them terror-stricken lay on the ground and kneeling between his legs was Lady Chen who gave them hope. Lady Chen’s long hair was scattered on the ground, and was as alluring and bewitching as the sea.

Chen Hui recovered from the dizziness of being hit on the forehead. She hurriedly raised her head and happened to meet Li Youde’s eyes. The latter stared at her and suddenly raised his hand to pull the clothes that she had tidied before. He scolded, “Are you still not getting up?”

Chen Hui didn’t dare to utter a word. She got up flustered and recalled the ‘you, get out’ that he said before. She grasped the clothes in front of her chest firmly and ran out with the lowered head. As for what this scene meant in the eyes of the servants, she was too lazy to guess.

Chen Hui ran back to her room under Xiao Tiao’s stunned gaze. After she grabbed a handful of long hair did she realize that the hairpin she used to tie her hair seemed to have fallen in the bathroom? She didn’t care about it and asked Xiao Tiao to get another for her. She tied her hair and tidied her clothes.

Xiao Tiao didn’t dare to say anything. The appearance of Lady Chen just now was not normal, but Lady Chen didn’t mention it and she didn’t dare to ask.

“Go rest first. I’ll go over again.” Chen Hui looked calm.

Xiao Tiao nodded and watched Chen Hui go out again.

In the deserted yard, Chen Hui rubbed her face with lingering fear. She had no choice just now and the facts proved that her choice wasn’t wrong. Li Youde couldn’t accept her touching him at all. He even called the servants in. Could it be that he got afraid of her? Also, after calling the people in, he just let her go and didn’t have the meaning to deal with her in rage…Anyway, her gamble was right!

Chen Hui touched her shoulder as she thought about what happened just now. Li Youde unexpectedly thought about helping her pull up her clothes when the servants came in. This made her feel a bit complicated.

It was not that she wanted to walk right into the trap. She just didn’t want her effort to go to waste. After the tossing of just now, she didn’t know how Li Youde’s injury was. She couldn’t really not bother. What would happen to her if her financial backer and meal ticket met with some mishap?!

When Chen Hui appeared in the main room again, no one thought that she would come back. As soon she appeared, Li Youde looked at her with a little weirdness in his eyes.

Chen Hui stepped forward and said softly, “Lord, this Lady Chen can help you deal with the injury.” Her face was calm as if nothing had happened just now.

Li Youde lowered his eyes and said, “Tell Ah Er, let him do it in the future.”

Chen Hui couldn’t see what Li Youde’s mood was like now. The little servants were silent and frightened. No one gave her hints. Only Ah Er leaned over.

Chen Hui didn’t hesitate for too long. It was fine that he didn’t want her to help him. She was happy to be relaxed. She told Ah Er the main points. She stressed the importance of washing and disinfecting the hands. She also told him to observe often the healing of the injury. When the removing of the stitches could be done, it was better to do it immediately, lest the stitches are removed when everything was already healed. Then, it would be very painful.

When speaking till here, Chen Hui took a wicked peek at Li Youde. Seeing that his expression sank, her heart bloomed into a flower from happiness.

Ah Er listened very seriously, but it was inevitable to be confused when he heard about the stitches being removed. He didn’t know how to judge the timing and Chen Hui also couldn’t explain it. She was just a layman after all. Ah Er had to accept his responsibility with a bitter face and prepared to ask Chen Hui often when the time comes.

After Chen Hui quickly explained everything, she bid Li Youde goodbye, but Li Youde only responded faintly.

Back into her room, Chen Hui rubbed Xiao Tiao’s head. The hairy feeling made her mood better. Li Youde’s current attitude of avoiding talking to her was naturally the best for her, indicating that she took the right path and could continue to maintain the status quo.

Chen Hui touched her right shoulder again. She wondered how long it would take to heal.

After not having to care about Li Youde’s injury, Chen Hui’s life suddenly became idler. It wasn’t a good timing to go out recently. When she was bored, she still drew the design drafts and asked the tailor to come over, have a look and make the finished product. Xiao Liu would help deliver it to the store when it was convenient. The clothes of Commandery Princess Shuning were Chen Hui’s key task. She supervised from beginning to end. After the finished products were done, it was changed many times before Xiao Liu sent it to Li Clan’s Cloth Shop. Then, shopkeeper Wu from the cloth store sent the clothes to Qing Palace. As for the request of Commandery Princess Shuning’s cousin Zheng Rongrong, Chen Hui also put some thoughts in it and also sent the products to Zhao residence when they were done.

Shopkeeper Wu brought back the news, saying that the clothes Chen Hui made gradually got more regular customers. Some customers wanted to see Chen Hui in person, but she refused to go out recently, so, she declined them all.

Li Youde hasn’t been in a good mood lately. Hence, he suddenly realized something he had refused to accept.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly in the palace. Consort De was very satisfied at the end of the construction period and spoke many good things about him in front of the emperor. And because he blocked a stab for the emperor, he had exposed himself greatly in front of the emperor. Not to mention the generous rewards, that day when he went to the palace and was summoned in front of the emperor, the emperor asked him what he wanted and he acted well-behaved and say that he didn’t want anything and only asked to be at His Majesty’s side and help His Majesty solve problems; At that time, the emperor didn’t say anything. He was terrified for a few days and one day, the emperor suddenly told him to be the court eunuch Binbi of the Department of Rites, the local commander of the study. He was pleasantly surprised and very thankful.

• Binbi means do the writing. So, I think he may be the eunuch who records things.

The position of court eunuch Binbi of the Department of Rites. was below the court eunuch in charge of the seal. However, it was the position closest to the emperor. He had toadied for personal gain for so many years. Finally, the emperor gradually took him as a trusted aide. How could he not be excited? Moreover, wasn’t that Wang Youcai only a court eunuch Binbi? In the past, he might have to restrain himself somewhat in front of him (WY). Now, they stood on equal footing. What more was there to be afraid of him for? When he finally got to the emperor’s side, there would be many opportunities to let Wang Youcai wear shoes!
