Chapter 68 Go with me… (2)
Chen Hui said in a low voice, “Lord, can you go with me?”
Li Youde was dumbstruck and glared once at Chen Hui, “Lady Chen, who gave you the courage to ask this?”
Chen Hui hugged Li Youde’s arm and said shamelessly, “If lord refuses, this Lady Chen wouldn’t let go of lord!”
“You, let go!” Although Chen Hui’s breasts were wrapped, Li Youde could still feel the softness of her chest through the layers of the thick cloth. It was reasonable to say that he had pinched them before. Such a touch was just so to him. Perhaps, it was because her act of hugging his arm was too intimate and she was also so close to him because of that. This exchange of ambiguous aura was somewhat unbearable to him.
“I will rather die than submit on this matter!” Chen Hui expressed very courageously that she wouldn’t let go.
Li Youde’s strength couldn’t be compared to ordinary men because of purifying his body when he was a child. It was only a bit greater than Chen Hui’s but that was under normal circumstances. She was holding his arm like this. He couldn’t use force not to mention he was afraid that if they struggle, he would hurt her too much.

“Lady Chen, have you forgotten the three points of our agreement?” Li Youde whispered angrily.
“I have not, but I won’t let go,” Chen Hui said.
“Lord Li?”
Vaguely hearing the voice behind the carriage, a few high-ranked military officers approached and inquired.
Ah Da and Ah Er naturally saw Chen Hui and Li Youde’s struggle, but they could only be regarded as invisible at this moment. However, if the few generals were to come over, they naturally couldn’t let that happen and hurriedly stepped forward, blocking them in silence.
These high-ranked military officers feared Li Youde, but they wouldn’t give face to the small eunuchs at his side. However, Li Youde was still present at this time. They could only stop their footsteps for the time being and said again, “Lord, we wonder what you mean?”
Li Youde glared fiercely at Chen Hui, trying to frighten her away. However, Chen Hui looked up face to face at him with an awe-inspiring and loyal appearance.
Li Youde gritted his teeth and said, “Lady Chen, do you know what is settling the account after autumn?”
- Settle the accounts after autumn: settle the scores at an opportune moment
“I don’t know. I am illiterate and haven’t attended school. I don’t know anything,” Chen Hui said like a rascal.
Li Youde knew that he had many ways to punish Chen Hui afterwards, but if he doesn’t agree at this moment with her, if those few crude people come over and see him pulling and tugging with a young man and not acting according to decorum, his illustrious name would be ruined.
“…Alright! I will go with you!” Li Youde almost said this through gritted teeth.
Chen Hui smiled in surprise. That smile was crystal clear like the sky after a rainstorm, “Thank you, lord. This Lady Chen likes lord the most!”
Li Youde’s heart skipped a beat and he looked away uncomfortably, “Still not letting go?”
“Lord, you can’t go back on your words,” Chen Hui said.
Li Youde cast her a sidelong glance, “Let go.”
Chen Hui smiled flatteringly and then let go of him.
Li Youde dusted off the clothes that had been crumpled by Chen Hui. He was about to walk out when he heard Chen Hui said, “Lord, you can deal with Qi Shengwen any time. You can spare his dog’s life for the time being, otherwise, the dispute won’t end and I am really unable to contain myself anymore…”
Li Youde glared once at her, “You are a girl. Who taught you to talk like this?!”
“I am Little Monkey now and not a girl,” Chen Hui replied right and self-confident.
Li Youde glared at her once again with annoyance and helplessness. Then, he walked out and said to those high-ranked military officers, “Since sir Lang has agreed, then let sir Lang come explain in a moment!”
The few people were dumbstruck. They understood that this was letting go of Qi Shengwen and his friend for the time being. They were finally relieved. Even if they didn’t know why he changed his mind in such a short instant, they also didn’t bother to pursue the matter anymore. These people who are not a man nor a woman have always been temperamental.
After the few people bid their goodbye to Li Youde, they left.
Qi Shengwen and Chu Shen walked at the end. Chu Shen asked Qi Shengwen in a low voice, “Shengwen, could this…this be the contribution of that Lady Chen?”
“I am almost certain that is the case,” Qi Shengwen chuckled, “It seems that the card I accidentally caught can really come in handy.”
Chu Shen smiled bitterly, “Accidentally? When have you not said that it was your luck when you used to go to the gambling house? Now, you accidentally caught a good card? Who would believe you?!”
Qi Shengwen said innocently, “What are you saying? I don’t understand.”
He really didn’t talk nonsense this time. He approached Lady Chen in the beginning just trying his luck and really didn’t want to do anything. Aside from Lady Chen, he also claimed connections with other related people. It was just that his luck was good enough this time. He claimed connections with this one and she really could come in handy.
“You, just use that face to lie to others. I won’t fall for it anymore!” General Chu quickly followed his colleagues.
Qi Shengwen looked back once. When he followed them over there, he saw this Lady Chen who cross-dressed as a man. Hence, he was not too nervous when being attacked by Li Youde. However, he really admired this Lady Chen sincerely at this moment. She could even win over someone like Li Youde.
On this side, Li Youde let the others wait in place and walked into the woods with Chen Hui.
The dense forest looked very eerie. After walking for a while, Li Youde said, “Just…do it here.”
When Chen Hui turned her head, she could still see Li Youde’s big carriage and said dissatisfied, “It is too close!”
“Where do you want to go if we walked further?” Li Youde refused to move.
Chen Hui thought for a moment and had to compromise, “Let’s go over there…Lord, you stand on the slope and keep watch for me. I will go down…but lord, you can’t peak.”
Li Youde, “…Hurry up!” He really wanted to kick her from this hillside.
