I married an exasperating eunuch Chapter 49 part 2

Chapter 49 See you in a bit (2)

Commandery Princess Shuning sneered, “Of course not right! Those eunuchs are very bad! The emperor is so good and not as bad as them!”

Zheng Rongrong didn’t have such a big reaction as Commandery Princess Shuning and only looked thoughtfully at the teacup in front of her.

Chen Hui smiled and stopped arguing with Commandery Princess Shuning. It suddenly occurred to her that Li Youde was estimated to be less than thirty years and he is already in the high position of the Department of Rites. She didn’t know how many grievances he had suffered to achieve what he is today…Well, probably not much. He was so afraid of pain. He must’ve not have suffered much when he was little. That was why he isn’t immune yet. Just like her. She had never had any hardship ever since she was a child. The most painful thing was probably going to the hospital for injections and the drawing of blood. So, she was also very afraid of pain…Thinking like this, her long-healed shoulder felt a dull pain again.

The decorated pleasure boat slowly moved away. Chen Hui looked over and saw Li Youde standing alone at the back end of the boat. His voice spread from far away, “Great Lady Chen, see you a bit later.”

Chen Hui quivered. Li Youde already went inside of the decorated pleasure boat and could no longer be seen. He must be sick in the head! He even wanted to dug a hole for her before leaving? But was he digging a hole for her or himself?! If she was exposed, could he still stay out of it?!

Commandery Princess Shuning looked at Chen Hui in surprise, “Lady Chen, what, do you know that whatever Lord Li?”

Chen Hui had already cursed Li Youde a hundred times in her heart. Hearing Commandery Princess Shuning’s question, she bit her lower lip and said, “He… and my father have some disputes.”

Commandery Princess Shuning was furious, “Alright! I told you that each of these castrated things is bad to the core. They became addicted to bullying honest merchants!”

Chen Hui glanced once at Commandery Princess Shuning. She really wanted to remind her, Great Commandery Princess, you also have no time for civilities on the point of preying and bullying honest people.

But she didn’t dare. Even Li Youde has some scruples against Commandery Princess Shuning. She was not stupid.

“The matter had already passed,” Chen Hui pretended to be strong.

But Commandery Princess Shuning said, “But he said to see you in a bit…Is he going to do something disadvantageous to you?”

Her complexion changed. She seemed to have suddenly remembered something and whispered, “I seem to have heard that some castrated thing obviously are no longer a man, they, they still didn’t give up and…and would still find someone to pair food with…”

• In ancient China, the term pair food (对食) was used to describe eunuchs who got themselves a woman. Most of those women were palace maids.

“Little cousin sister Xi,” Zheng Rongrong looked at Commandery Princess Shuning and reminded her that such things shouldn’t be said by an unmarried girl like her.

She was an unmarried girl after all. When it comes to talking about this kind of thing, Commander Princess Shuning was unavoidable embarrassed. However, when Zheng Rongrong reminded her, she became strong-willed and said, “They could do it, why can’t I talk about it?” She stuck out her tongue and asked Chen Hui, “He couldn’t have taken a fancy on you, right?”

Chen Hui quickly shook her head, “Commandery Princess thinks too much. How could he take a fancy on me? With his status, it is easy to find someone to pair food with.”

“That is not certain,” Commandery Princess Shuning looked worried.

Chen Hui said, “Commandery Princess, Lord Li has already seen me with you today. He wouldn’t dare to do anything to me in the future. I also want to thank Commandery Princess for your help.”

Being thanked by Chen Hui, Commandery Princess Shuning was a bit embarrassed, “Actually, I didn’t do anything…Come, have tea.”

Chen Hui breathed a sigh of relief. This matter finally passed.

But…did Li Youde mean that he wanted to see her after she returns to Li residence? Speaking of it, although they lived in the same yard, he was very busy now and rarely returned to Li residence. She seemed to not have seen him for almost a month.

It had been so long since that incident. After that, Li Youde didn’t make trouble for her again. He also gave her a lot of jewelry. It could be determined that everything was alright between them, right? Just as she thought before, when she confronts him again, nothing will happen to her right? A person’s reflection arc shouldn’t be so long, right?!

After that, Chen Hui stayed with Commandery Princess Shuning and Zheng Rongrong before leaving for Li residence. Xiao Tiao looked very worried. Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu’s moods were also not very high. They were probably worried about what Li Youde would do to them.

In contrast, Chen Hui as the main character was not afraid at all. She also didn’t know why, she was looking a bit forward to seeing Li Youde.

What disappointed Chen Hui after returning to Li residence was that Li Youde didn’t return yet. So, what did he mean by that ‘see you a bit later’? He casually said it when he wanted to dig a hole for her or did it really have the meaning of an appointment?

Chen Hui drew designs as she waited in her room. In the end, she waited until after dinner and until she was sleepy, he still didn’t return. She felt that she might have been tricked by Li Youde. She was annoyed and told Xiao Tiao to lock the door and go to sleep.

Chen Hui also didn’t know how long she had slept when she felt someone pushing her. She opened her eyes as much as she could and saw Xiao Tiao’s enlarged face.

“Lady Chen, lord has returned.”

Chen Hui blinked slowly, “…”

Seeing that Chen Hui closed her eyes and continued to sleep, Xiao Tiao Quickly pushed her and said, “Lady, lord wants to see you!”

Chen Hui rolled over and continued to close her eyes, “Don’t want to see!” She was so sleepy. She wouldn’t see even if it was the emperor of heaven who came.

“But…lady, lord, lord is just outside…,” Xiao Tiao tried to no avail. She could only rush out while trembling in fear to tell Li Youde.

When Li Youde heard that Chen Hui was still sleeping and refused to get up, he was furious and strode in immediately.

Chen Hui originally slept on her back. After being pushed by Xiao Tiao, she turned over and slept on her stomach. Naturally, her sleeping posture was not flattering.

Li Youde stood by the bed and his gaze swept over Chen Hui’s bare tender little feet and finally fell on her face whose back was facing him. So, he could only see the back of her head.

“Lady Chen!” Li Youde shouted angrily.

Chen Hui groaned and covered her ears.

“Lady Chen!” Li Youde almost laughed from anger.

Chen Hui finally became a bit awake by this shout. Her dazed mind finally became clear. She finally remembered important things like who she was and what she was doing and so on.

And more importantly, she realized that the eunuch who she waited for a very long time for, was standing by her bed and was angry because she couldn’t get up.

…Otherwise…continue to sleep?

Chen Hui was about to do that when she suddenly remembered the horror of being dominated by someone before because she pretended to be asleep.

No.

Even if it was proved that Li Youde wasn’t interested in her body that night, it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t continue playing with her chest. After all, she felt that her breast was really comfortable to squeeze. She couldn’t even refrain herself.

Therefore, Chen Hui turned over and stood up. She looked at Li Youde as if she was pleasantly surprised and said, “Lord, you are finally back. This Lady Chen waited on you for a half night and fell asleep accidentally!”

Li Youde, “…”
