Chapter 89 Living one’s life (2)
Before Li Youde could speak, Chen Hui said, “Only when lord makes clear what position Lady Jiang has in lord’s heart can this Lady Chen know how to treat her in the future. If Lady Jiang is the white moonlight of lord and someone lord has admired and if lord wants to win the beauty’s heart, perhaps, this Lady Chen might be able to help with this Lady Chen’s understanding of women and can help lord achieve the result with half the effort.” No, she was talking nonsense. She would never help!
“What nonsense are you saying?!” Before Chen Hui could finish speaking, Li Youde exclaimed.
Chen Hui looked undaunted at Li Youde, but the anger on the latter’s face froze for a moment and then quickly dissipated. He was not surprised that she would come up with such a proposal. How could she be jealous? He had long understood this, why be angry?
“How it was before will be how it would be in the future,” Li Youde said slowly, “You don’t have to do more things.”
Chen Hui wasn’t satisfied with his answer, but she smiled slyly and answered clear-cut, “Okay.”
Her answer was too clear-cut. Li Youde naturally became suspicious and asked, “What do you want to do?”
“I don’t want to do anything,” Chen Hui said. If she has to answer what she was going to do… She cast Li Youde a glance and smirked in her heart.
Seeing that Chen Hui was obviously planning to do something and not telling him, Li Youde was really afraid that she would do something. While he sighed at her smugness, he said helplessly, “I brought Lady Jiang out of Jiaofang Shi two years ago.”
- Jiaofang Shi was a department in ancient China where girls where taught how to serve officials. It was like a brothel specially for the people at the court.
Chen Hui turned her head and listened carefully to him.
Many words wandered on the tip of his tongue but had been swallowed back. Li Youde only said, “You can treat Lady Jiang as a beautiful vase and don’t go disturb her.”
A beautiful vase?
Chen Hui was satisfied with this statement from Li Youde, but she still asked, “In other words, lord hasn’t thought about spending your days with her?”
“Where did you get so many questions?” Li Youde gave Chen Hui an impatient glare.
Chen Hui said boldly, “It was lord who said that you want to spend your days with me. Since we are going to spend our days together, many things naturally have to be clarified!”
“You speak first,” Li Youde said helplessly.
“Lord, answer me first,” Chen Hui said unwilling to retreat.
Being forced to anxiousness, Li Youde could only answer to stop her, “No.”
In fact, he has thought about it at the beginning. Who would not like the beautiful and gentle Lady Jiang? It was just that after he has received many tactful retortions, he didn’t think about it anymore. It was just that he doesn’t want to mention this matter that let him lose face.
But he really underestimated Chen Hui. She laughed and said slowly, “Lady Jiang is so beautiful, gentle and virtuous. Why did lord never think about spending your days with her?”
“If I have thought about it, will there still be you?” Li Youde retorted angrily. She really is pestering endlessly!
“Right! That is why this Lady Chen is so curious,” Chen Hui continued to say indifferently, but she didn’t agree with Li Youde. Lady Jiang obviously didn’t want to live with him. Even if Li Youde has thought about it, it would’ve been thinking in vain.
“No is no. Why are there so many why’s?” Li Youde closed his eyes and said, “I’m tired. Don’t ask anymore.”
“But this Lady Chen hasn’t said what this Lady Chen really wanted to say yet,” Chen Hui said.
Li Youde didn’t move.
Chen Hui remained silent.
Li Youde was disturbed by the weird silence. He opened his eyes in the end and said helplessly to Lady Chen whose eyes haven’t left him, “Speak.”
He really has committed a grave mistake. When he didn’t say what he said, Lady Chen still messed around in secret. What about now? She couldn’t wait for him to put her on his head and walk a few rounds! He has so much regret!
Chen Hui’s eyes lit up. She sat upright and still and said, “Lord, you said that you want to spend your days with this Lady Chen in the future. This Lady Chen is also very willing…but this Lady Chen asks lord to please promise this Lady Chen that it will be only the two of us spending the days and that there will be no other people.”
Li Youde was dumbstruck.
“Lady Jiang doesn’t count. She came before me and I also can’t control her. However, lord can’t accept more women in the future. The ones you accepted while drunk also won’t do. You must return them,” Chen Hui said, “Aside from this Lady Chen, lord can also not let other women touch you, let alone men. That’s it. Can lord accept these?”
“…You alone is already enough headache. Where will I get the energy for others?” Li Youde humphed. He was wrong. This is not a daughter that he raised, it is an ancestor.
However, listening to her mention these requirements that could make her be called a ‘jealous woman’ and the messy thing of not being touched by men, Li Youde couldn’t help from feeling a bit of joy in his heart no matter what her purpose is.
“Then, it’s decided!” Chen Hui smiled brilliantly like a flower, “Lord, you are so nice!”
“Finished?” Li Youde cast her a sidelong glance.
Chen Hui nodded, “Yes!”
Li Youde said displeased, “I haven’t sobered up from the wine I drank at those barbarian’s yet and I have been disturbed for so long by you. headache.”
Chen Hui immediately said, “I will massage for lord.”
Li Youde said reluctantly, “Alright.”
He turned sideways slightly. Chen Hui knelt on one foot and rubbed lightly on his forehead. Seeing him close his eyes with a comfortable look, she couldn’t help from smiling slightly.
The harvest from this trip to the frontier was more than she had imagined. Originally, she just wanted to prevent Li Youde from causing trouble. She didn’t expect that aside from this, she also let Li Youde show his intentions. From now, she could do whatever she wanted in Li residence and Li Youde has no reason to resist her from getting more intimate with him…She feels that the future is bright!
Nothing more happened on the way. The group returned smoothly to Jianbei City.
Before getting out of the carriage, Chen Hui suddenly remembered something. She pulled Li Youde, put her lips together and asked, “Lord, can you help me have a look. Are my lips swollen?”
What he had done before was recalled. Li Youde’s gaze flickered across Chen Hui’s red lips. He coughed before saying, “A bit…It’s nothing.”
“It is not lord’s that is swollen. Naturally, you can see it as nothing,” Chen Hui complained a bit. Suddenly, she leaned closer to Li Youde’s ear and said, “It is agreed. Lord can’t bite me again next time.”
Having said that, she got out of the carriage with a smile, but Li Youde was disturbed by Chen Hui’s ambiguous words…What, what next time?!
When he got off the carriage, Li Youde had already recovered his cold face. He glanced at Chen Hui who also had a stern and expressionless expression and walked ahead.
The group of people followed behind Li Youde. Deputy general Chu noticed the injury on Chen Hui’s mouth and unconsciously looked a bit more at it. Unexpectedly, Chen Hui complained to Ah Da who was driving the carriage, “Ah Da, how do you drive the carriage? Jolted so much. Look, even my lips have been broken!”
Ah Da, “…I’m sorry.”
Li Youde who was walking in the front stopped. Without turning his head, he said, “…It was not very stable.”
“Lord, forgive me. This little one doesn’t dare any more in the future,” Ah Da almost knelt.
Chen hui quickly said, “It’s okay. Lord just mentioned it and didn’t mean to blame you.”
Li Youde hastened his pace which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
Deputy general Chu retracted his gaze silently and pretended as if he didn’t know anything.
Chen Hui cast him a secret glance. Seeing that he seemed to believe it, she exhaled.
