I married an exasperating eunuch Chapter 59 part 1

Chapter 59 The misunderstanding (1)

Chen Hui was hung mid-air for so long, she almost fell asleep. When she heard voices, she didn’t dare to make a sound at first until Xiao Tiao’s voice awakened her. Then, she heard Li Youde’s voice.

She swore that she had never felt that Li Youde’s voice was so moving before! Although, the content of his words made her want to beat him, at this moment of life and death, it could be ignored!

Chen Hui showed her greatest joy when Li Youde appeared at the place above her. She saw Li Youde retract his body after the initial shock. Afterwards, he heard that he started to organize people to get her up. He also sent people to look for the trackers and let them come back.

Where Chen Hui had fallen was not too far away. The people above went to the temple to find some ropes. They made a strong noose, let it down and let Chen Hui put it under her armpits. Everyone pulled her up in unison.

When Chen Hui came up, she was paralyzed on the ground. She was frozen all that time in that small place and her body got numb, but when she looked up at Li Youde, she still keenly sensed the excitement in her heart.

Li Youde subconsciously looked away from Chen Hui’s gaze that was brighter than before.

She didn’t elope? But why did she suddenly disappear and appear here instead? Wasn’t it really because she accidentally slipped while eloping and her lover saw that he couldn’t save her and abandoned her?

Li Youde knew that it might be unreasonable for him to think this way, but he couldn’t let it go because she couldn’t explain how she appeared at the back of the mountain.

Because he didn’t look at Chen Hui, when she rushed over, not only did he fail to avoid her, he was also driven to fall on his bum on the ground by her strength without regaining control. He only had time to stabilize his figure with his hands on the ground.

Beneath his hand was the muddy mountain road. The feeling of pressing his hand into the mud was really bad, but Li Youde had no time to get angry. Someone pushed him down, wrapped her hands around his neck and her body was stuck between his legs. She choked, “Lord, you finally came to save this Lady Chen! This Lady Chen was so scared! This Lady Chen has thought that this Lady Chen would die for sure this time and would never see lord again!”

Li Youde was very embarrassed.

Although there were not many people here at the moment, a dozen pairs of eyes were still staring at him! He, the dignified eunuch Binbi of the Department of Rites, was pushed on the ground in public by a crying woman. What was this?!

“Lady Chen, get up,” Li Youde whispered.

Chen Hui shook her head. A lot of the grass and mud on her head were wiped on Li Youde’s neck and clothes. She hugged him tighter and tighter, “I won’t get up, won’t get up.” She paused and her voice became more aggrieved, “This Lady Chen almost couldn’t see lord anymore. Can’t lord comfort this Lady Chen?”

She actually won an inch and wants a foot!

• Win an inch, want a foot: not satisfied with small gains

Li Youde still has a knot in his heart. He grabbed Chen Hui’s arm and pulled her away a bit. He looked at her coldly and said, “Get up.”

Chen Hui looked at Li Youde’s expressionless appearance and thought about what she had heard before under the cliff. Her mood wasn’t very good.

Originally, she was very happy to see Li Youde come to save her, but she really didn’t expect that the motive for which he came to ‘save’ her was because he thought that she ran away with someone else and he intended to get her back to punish her. So, was he feeling guilty now that he found out that she had almost been killed instead of running away?

Chen Hui stared at Li Youde’s cold face. She didn’t feel that he felt guilty. Perhaps, in his opinion, her suspicion of eloping with another still hasn’t been cleared up? After all, it was difficult to explain her sudden appearance at the back of the mountain. Xiao Tiao probably didn’t see the people who kidnapped her. Maybe, Xiao Tiao even thought that she left by herself?

Chen Hui especially didn’t want Li Youde to misunderstand. She suffered from this unwarranted disaster. She was almost raped and almost died. It was really good luck that she had survived. She didn’t expect that she was misunderstood before she could find someone to comfort her.

Disregarding how dirty the mud was, Chen Hui knelt in front of Li Youde. She glared at him and said, “Lord, who did you think that this Lady Chen ran off with?”

Li Youde didn’t utter a word.

Chen Hui said, “I came out with Xiao Tiao last night. When we saw the dark figure on the ground, I was afraid of the danger and planned to go back and find more people to come to take a look. Unexpectedly, I have been threatened by two people with a dagger. I didn’t dare to shout and could only go with them. When they brought me here, the man named brother Qi, his injury flared up. Another brother surnamed He knocked into me when he went to help him. They thought I was dead and left, but I was very lucky and hang in the mid-air. Perhaps, if lord came a bit later, you will never see me again.” She paused. Her calm tone changed and her voice raised, “If this is the case, this Lady Chen would gradually become white bones under the cliff and lord would think that this Lady Chen has eloped!”

Hearing the possibility described by Chen Hui, Li Youde was also shocked. When Chen Hui got up angrily, he subconsciously reached out his hand, but he wasn’t able to grab her and he also regained his sense, so, he retracted his hand.

Chen Hui walked with a cold face to the already stunned crowd. Facing her who was as if she was about to breathe out fire, everyone backed away two steps in unison. Someone who even lord Li couldn’t handle, why would they want to be the stand out among the group?!

Only Xiao Tiao greeted her with snot and tears and said, “Lady, so great, you are fine! This slave thought that lady had been harmed by the bad guys and was almost scared to death!”

Chen Hui said, “It is still Xiao Tiao who is the best and wouldn’t say unfounded messy things.”

Chen Hui looked at her dirty hands and didn’t touch Xiao Tiao’s head. Her voice was not low or high, but it was enough for Li Youde who had gotten up with the support of others to hear her point at the mulberry tree and curse the locust tree.

• To point at the mulberry tree and curse the locust tree: scold someone indirectly.

“Lady Chen, you dare to rebel?!” Li Youde pushed away Ah Da who was supporting him. He the handkerchief that Ah Da handed to him angrily onto the ground and glared over to this side.

Chen Hui didn’t look at him either. Anyone would be a bit temperamental after waiting lonely in that kind of place where there was no road to the sky nor door into the earth for so long and regained her life back, right?

• No road to the sky nor door into the earth: trapped in a hopeless situation

Li Youde was so angry that he wanted to beat people. He wondered whether he spoiled Lady Chen too much which made her got more temper and dared to be angry at him in front of so many people and scold him!

Before Li Youde could say anything, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him. When he looked back, he saw that the trackers had come back with two men.

When he saw the two men clearly, his eyes suddenly widened. Weren’t, weren’t they the wanted assassins?

“Didn’t expect that it is you two, the presumptuous assassins!”

He was also a bit dumbstruck. He used the pretext of caching the assassins to surround Fragrance Mountain and didn’t expect to really catch them accidentally! The day he was here, these two assassins have divulged their appearance, but they were still able to escape. It turned out that they had been hiding in the mountain. No wonder, they haven’t been able to find them!

Now, Li Youde recalled what Chen Hui had said. He originally thought that it was just a story she casually fabricated. Anyway, the people she mentioned already left and no one could testify against her. Wasn’t that a great chance for her to talk nonsense? However, the two people caught proved that Chen Hui’s words were true.

For a moment, Li Youde felt that his face has gotten hot. He didn’t know how to face Chen Hui.
