Chapter 50 The thought (1)
Li Youde looked at the surprised face of the woman in front of him that didn’t seem deceptive. A sudden sense of absurdity rose in his heart. What kind of evil did he do before she came to his residence? Maybe Chen Pingzhi couldn’t deal with this daughter anymore and threw her at him.
“Wait for me? I don’t know who it was just now who slept like a dead pig and couldn’t wake up!” Li Youde sneered coldly.
Chen Hui said, “That is not the case, lord. You have misunderstood. This Lady Chen waited for lord to come back until the middle of the night. Just now I heard lord’s voice and thought that it was what you think during the day would be what you dream about at night and thought that this dream felt so real…Lord, please forgive me.”
Chen Hui’s voice was cute and explained her situation. Not a trace of guilt could be seen. If it wasn’t Li Youde, he might’ve understood her and would really believe her at this moment.
He took the chair aside, sat down and asked Chen Hui, “I ask you, where have you been fooling around and with whom?”
Chen Hui thought, what fool around? So terrible to hear. Those who didn’t know would think she had an affair…Moreover, could Xiao Liu not know where she went? Since Xiao Liu knew, didn’t this also mean that Li Youde know? And he is still asking her pretentiously.
“This Lady Chen didn’t fool around anywhere. I just went to visit the cloth shop and occasionally met with Commandery Princess Shuning and others,” Chen Hui said aggrievedly, “Don’t you already know this, lord?”
Li Youde ignored Chen Hui’s question. A sneer appeared at the corners of his mouth, “Speaking of Commandery Princess Shuning, she still doesn’t know your identity?”
Although the two met suddenly during the day, they came up with corresponding countermeasures to deal with the situation according to the reaction of the other. They were naturally able to guess some of the truth.
Chen Hui said, “I haven’t found a good timing to tell her”
Li Youde’s eyes dropped and he laughed coldly, “It is not that you haven’t found the right timing. It is probably because you don’t want to tell her at all. You are probably afraid that if Commandery Princess Shuning got to know that you followed a castrated person, she would alienate you and you won’t be able to raise your head again, right?”
Chen Hui said, “Lord, can you allow this Lady Chen to wear a coat first?”
Li Youde was dumbstruck. Only now did he realize that she was wearing her pajamas only, which looked very thin.
“…Go.”
Chen Hui smiled at him. She jumped from the bed and ran to the closet in a few steps. After a while, she asked, “Xiao Tiao, where is my water-blue dress?”
Xiao Tiao was waiting outside and didn’t dare to come in. When she heard Chen Hui call her, she opened the door carefully and took a peek inside. She whispered, “It is at the bottom of the closet, under the red dress.”
Having heard that, Chen Hui flipped through the closet and she quickly found it, “Alright, I found it.”
She took the clothes and walked to behind the screen. It took a long time for her to get dressed and come out. Even her hair was neatly arranged.
She walked over and smiled at Li Youde, “Lord, this Lady Chen is done now. What did you ask just now?”
Li Youde’s gloomy mood has slowly dissipated after such a delay. He said with no expression, “I said, you didn’t tell Commandery Princess Shuning your identity because you are afraid that after she got to know that you have followed a eunuch, you wouldn’t be able to raise your head ever again, isn’t that right?”
Chen Hui originally planned to sit. Having heard this, she said stirred up, “Lord, who wagged his tongue in front of you? This is slander. This Lady Chen wants to confront him to prove my innocence!”
Li Youde gradually felt tired. He didn’t believe that she hadn’t heard what he said before. After changing clothes, she pretended to be angry. Did she take him for a fool?”
“No one wagged his tongue!” Li Youde glared coldly at Chen Hui, “It is such an obvious matter. Does someone still have to mention it? Don’t jest with me!”
Chen Hui blinked when she looked at Li Youde. She discovered that she was more and more unafraid of his blowing bear and glaring eyes. Oh, not right. He didn’t have a beard and could also never grow a beard.
- Blowing beard and glaring eyes: to fume.
“Lord, you have wronged this Lady Chen again,” Chen Hui sniffed and said dissatisfied, “It was obvious that there was no good timing. Later, I didn’t specifically mention it, but lord wanted to misunderstand this Lady Chen.”
“Oh? Then, what about today?” Li Youde narrowed his eyes and said, “Why did you pretend to not know me today?”
“Lord, didn’t you also pretend to not know this Lady Chen?” Chen Hui stared at Li Youde and said with an accusatory tone, “Moreover, you became brothers with that gentleman Huang! He had taken liberties with this Lady Chen before!”
Li Youde was taken aback and subconsciously replied, “I didn’t know at that time…,” He suddenly recovered his senses. His face darkened and he sneered, “Lady Chen, when did you get the right to control who I deal with?”
Chen Hui didn’t look away and said, “This Lady Chen dares not. This Lady Chen was just talking. If lord doesn’t want to hear it, then, don’t listen.”
Li Youde was stumped for words first and went as far as to feel that the woman in front of him feigning anger coquettishly had a different kind of beauty to it. Like a feather, it caused his heart to be ticklish. Then, he broke into a cold sweat and suddenly regretted coming to her.
This kind of strange feeling came again. He wanted to scold her, but couldn’t. He wanted to hit her, but his hands won’t move.
He stood up suddenly and rushed to the door as if he was fleeing.
Chen Hui watched Li Youde go out in surprise. He didn’t even look back. When had he become so obedient? She let him not listen if he didn’t want to, he truly didn’t listen and run?
Then…why did he come tonight?”
Xiao Tiao came back after she saw that Li Youde had left. She saw Chen Hui sitting in a daze. She quickly walked over and said, “Lady Chen, do you want to continue to sleep?”
“Let’s sleep,” Chen Hui said casually.
Chen Hui felt that Li Youde had become strange since that night. He was cold to her for twenty days. He came looking for her after the sudden encounter and left after some baffling cold sarcastic comments. What did this mean? She almost pulled off his pants that night. Did she scare him? However, he didn’t have to be scared of her. If he was really worried, wouldn’t it be fine if he just locked her up? But he didn’t do that. He just didn’t see her.
