I married an exasperating eunuch Chapter 50 part 3

Chapter 50 The thought (3)

Li Youde frowned, “Lady Chen, you have become more daring these days. When did it become your concern whether I eat or not?”

To Li Youde’s surprise, Chen Hui seemed to be relieved. She smiled and said, “Lord is right. This Lady Chen talked too much.”

As she spoke, she turned back to have a battle with the breakfast and didn’t even look at Li Youde again.

Li Youde ate his breakfast slowly. By the time he finished, Chen Hui has finished for a long time. She didn’t dare to interrupt his meal and kept picking a pickled cucumber to eat from time to time to kill time.

“Lady Chen, send me out of the residence,” Li Youde said as he got up.

Chen Hui went blank. She was surprised because he had never requested this before. A ridiculous smile quickly spread across her face. She immediately got up. Seeing that Ah Da groomed Li Youde, she followed him and walked behind him to the outside.

She was still anxious about what would happen after breakfast. Naturally, she was happy when she heard that Li Youde had to leave.

When Li Youde got into the carriage, Chen Hui stood on the ground and said goodbye sincerely, “Lord, have a safe journey.”

Li Youde opened the curtain of the carriage and said to Chen Hui, “Lady Chen, I will stay in the palace for a few days. Presumably, I won’t be back in three to five days. Be a bit more obedient in the residence and go less out and cause less provocation!”

Chen Hui quickly lowered her head and said, “Lord, don’t worry. This Lady Chen will definitely be very obedient.”

“Words that are pleasing to the ears,” Li Youde laughed once, but he didn’t have any more things to say and put down the curtain. The carriage slowly moved forward.

When Chen Hui walked back, she was so happy that she wanted to dance at the square for fun. Unfortunately, she didn’t know how to dance with background music like the Phoenix Legend.

Li Youde left and it would be for three or five days. She could relax well these few days. As for what he said before he left, be more obedient…Anyway, he didn’t forbid her from going out, why shouldn’t she go out?

The dark clouds that lingered over Chen Hui’s head that morning had disappeared. Although. Her speculation hasn’t been sorted out yet, at least from the current point of view, Li Youde didn’t want to have anything to do with her, so what was she afraid of? She should eat, she should drink. The unnecessary worries couldn’t help her live better anyway. She has no better idea, just live like this.

Because she was relieved for the time being, Chen Hui had the leisure mind to think about some things. Actually, Li Youde had treated her very well recently. If he really needed it, satisfying him was also a thing she ought to do…Haha, fortunately, he wasn’t interested.

Chen Hui cast a sidelong glance at Xiao Liu who followed her. He had his head lowered and had a respectful expression. She hummed a song in her heart and walked back. Who knew that she had just walked two steps when a figure suddenly ran past her and disappeared.

Chen Hui stopped and asked Xiao Liu, “Was that just now…Li Sancai?”

Xiao Liu was dumbstruck. It took a long time before he remembered that name of the three-striped cat. He said hesitantly, “It should be. There is only one three-striped cat in the residence.”

Chen Hui looked in the direction that Li Sancai ran to and asked Xiao Liu, “There…”

“Study, usually lord doesn’t allow people to enter there,” Xiao Liu said. Perhaps, he was afraid that Chen Hui wasn’t afraid of causing trouble and hurriedly said, “If anyone enters without authorization, he would be punished heavily by lord.”

Chen Hui suddenly remembered a series of rumors that Xiao Tiao had mentioned before. Li Youde is very strict with an important place like the study. After Chen Hui moved to Chrysanthemum Yard, she often chatted with the servants and heard that the man who ruined her pear and chicken when she sneaked out to steal a chicken, infiltrated in the study to steal something. In the end, the thing was not stolen, but he lost his life.

“Has Lady Jiang ever been to the study?” Chen Hui asked.

Xiao Liu said, “No…”

Chen Hui asked with some curiosity, “Will lord punish Lady Jiang if she entered the study?”

After all, this three-striped cat was now Lady Jiang’s pet. She would come to find it since it had disappeared. Lady Jiang had been in Li residence for two years. She must know where she could go and where she couldn’t. So, would she violate the rule for the three-striped cat? And Li Youde, would Li Youde punish her for this? She was really curious.

“This…this little one doesn’t know,” Xiao Liu said.

Chen Hui glanced once at him, “Is it that you don’t know or refuse to say?”

Xiao Liu smiled, “Lady Chen, how would this little one dare to hide it from you? This little one truly doesn’t know. Lady Jiang rarely comes near the study and never went in.”

“You don’t serve at Rely Bamboo Pavilion and don’t serve at the study, but you know so well,” Chen Hui said with a smile.

Xiao Liu’s expression didn’t change and said with a smile, “You are welcome.”

Chen Hui humphed once. Seeing that the person who came to catch the cat has already arrived, she stopped talking to Xiao Liu. Instead, she looked at Qingshu who had rushed over in a hurry and greeted her enthusiastically, “Miss Qingshu, you came to find the cat? It went into the study!”

Seeing that Chen Hui was in the front, Qingshu paused. For a moment, she had an impulse of not wanting to get closer. This Lady Chen left a too deep impression on her and she intuitively felt that it was too dangerous to get close to this Lady Chen.

But Lady Jiang’s cat ran away. She came out to chase after it. She couldn’t go back empty-handed.

Qingshu walked to Chen Hui with a hundred and twenty percent of vigilance and asked politely, “Did Lady Chen see the cat?”

Chen Hui said, “Yes, it ran into the study. Quickly go look for it. If you are too late, lord would be angry if the study is messed up by it.” No matter how one listened to her tone, there was the gloating of taking joy in someone else’s calamity.

Qingshu’s complexion changed slightly. If that cat caused trouble, Lady Jiang would be fine. It would be they, the servants who would be punished.

But how would she dare to go in at a place like the study?! Moreover, what if the cat didn’t run in, but Lady Chen deliberately lied to her?

Qingshu looked at Xiao Liu and smiled stiffly, “Xiao Liu, did that cat really ran in…”

Before Qingshu finished speaking, Chen Hui scowled and said, “Don’t believe me? Do you really think that I will harm you? Humph, not acknowledging someone’s good intentions. Xiao Liu, let’s leave!”

Chen Hui became hostile in a second. She turned her head and glared at Xiao Liu to hint at him to leave quicker and that he was not allowed to have any exchange of glances with Qingshu.

Although, Xiao Liu didn’t want to offend Lady Jiang, but at this time, he could only follow Chen Hui to Chrysanthemum Yard.

To his surprise, Chen Hui stopped at a corner and looked sneakily at Qingshu who was still standing in the same place. She said to Xiao Liu, “Xiao Liu, guess what Qingshu would do next. I bet a penny that she would go find Lady Jiang.”

Xiao Liu looked at Chen Hui’s expression that was full of zest, he suddenly felt his back go cold. It turned out that Lady Chen hasn’t shown any signs of dealing with the people of Rely Bamboo Pavilion, not because she didn’t bear any grudges, but because she was waiting for the best time! Then, wouldn’t the one who watched with folded arms at her being bullied be marked by Lady Chen a long time ago? Sooner or later she would settle this score?

Xiao Liu swallowed and said, “This little one guesses…guesses that miss Qingshu would go to the guard of the study to ask for the cat.”

Chen Hui didn’t care. She just stared at Qingshu. She suddenly felt someone beside her kneel with a plop and said in a panic, “Lady Chen, it was Xiao Liu who had wronged you in the past. Asking you to have mercy and don’t bother about with Xiao Liu!”

Chen Hui, “…” What the hell?!
