Chapter 95 Liar (1)
The journey back was a bit slower than when they came. Everyone was a bit relaxed because of the end of the war. In the evening, Li Youde took his people to rest in an inn nearby town, enjoying his wealth and power. Although Chen Hui was still wearing man’s clothing, Li Youde’s concealment of her identity was much looser, and a guest room was given to her alone.
Chen Hui accepted the arrangement without making a fuss. However, seeing her agree so obediently to one room per person, Li Youde’s thoughts ran wild. Sure enough, she did those things before just to please him and she probably has endured for a long time. Isn’t she very happy now that she doesn’t have to please him?
Li Youde naturally didn’t say anything, but he had a long face afterward as if everyone owed him a million silver taels. Chen Hui felt that she might be the one who owned Li Youde the most. Although she couldn’t guess what Li Youde was the most upset about this time, she felt that it had something to do with her. What did she do that offended him unintentionally?
On the third day of the journey, Chen hui finally couldn’t help but ask while still in the carriage, “Lord, have you been angry with this Lady Chen these days? Did this Lady Chen do something wrong? Lord just tell this Lady Chen, this Lady Chen will definitely change.”
Li Youde was angrier inside. Looking at her frightened appearance, all she probably could think about was how to please him so that he would not make things difficult for her, right?
“I’m not angry. You don’t have to change,” Li Youde said with a cold face.
Chen Hui roared in her heart. If you are not angry, I will call you father!
But apart from screaming in her heart, Chen Hui couldn’t do anything. It is really a shame to be with a temperamental man.
She didn’t do anything wrong and her efforts to communicate have also been rejected. Even the best-tempered person wouldn’t be able to take it. Chen Hui thought, see who can’t hold back first. After thinking like that, she turned her head to look at the door and ignored him.
Li Youde glared at the back of Chen Hui’s head. He glared for a long time without seeing her turn her head and say anything. The anger in his heart came up again. She just pretended to ask. She is becoming more and more half-heartedly! Because he had once said that he would let her be the mistress of Li residence, she was not secure in the knowledge that she has backing and rely on his spoiling of her to be arrogant!
Li Youde glared at the back of Chen Hui’s head, thinking that he would let this matter go if she came to please him within the time to burn an incense stick.
The time to burn two incense sticks has passed. Chen Hui leaned against the wall of the carriage and even made a sound of breathing.
Li Youde was very angry. After being angry for a while, he thought, it has indeed been hard on her these days. He will wait until she wakes up.
Unfortunately, even after waking up, Chen Hui didn’t do anything more than necessary. When she smiled at him when she woke up, he thought that she would say or do something next, but she just smiled for a moment, then turned her head and ignored him as if the smile was just a courtesy.
Each one of them bothered with themselves. Even Ah Da and Ah Er noticed the strange atmosphere between Chen Hui and Li Youde. But none of them could help and they didn’t dare to ask.
They arrived at the capital in such awkwardness. The soldiers of the capital had deputy general Gong take them to settle down. Li Youde and his party went directly inside the capital.
After the carriage drove for a while, Ah Da knocked on the door and asked, “Lord, where are we going first?”
Li Youde glanced once at Chen Hui and said, “Go back to the residence first.”
Ah Da accepted the order.
Li Youde said, “When we arrive at Li residence, you go back first. I have to go to the palace.
Chen Hui who was in a daze, looked sideways at Li Youde and asked, “When will lord come back?”
Li Youde was still upset and when he listened to her words that seemed to not want him to come back, his voice suddenly became cold, “It is my residence. I can come back whenever I want!”
Chen Hui looked at Li Youde in shock. Were they still on the same channel? Wasn’t he sidestepping the question?!
“Lord, this Lady Chen only wants to know at what time lord will be back to make some preparations,” Chen Hui said.
Li Youde sneered, “What do you need to prepare? You are probably thinking for me to not come back!”
Chen Hui looked at Li Youde as if she was looking at an angry child. When did she not want him to come back? Was it because she deliberately threw a fit of pique with him these days? But it was obviously he who started it first!
“This Lady Chen didn’t say that,” Chen Hui lowered her gaze.
“Humph, you indeed didn’t say, but these past few days have you not done everything that shouldn’t be done? Don’t think that you can sleep peacefully just because I said that you can be the mistress of Li residence! I can take it back anytime,” Li Youde said as he glared at Chen Hui.
Chen Hui suddenly stared at Li Youde. Was he reneging on his words again?! Moreover, what is ‘done everything that shouldn’t be done’? What did she do?
“This Lady Chen doesn’t understand what lord means. What is ‘done everything that shouldn’t be done’?” Chen Hui asked while suppressing her anger.
Li Youde sneered, “You have to ask yourself!”
Chen Hui, “…” If she gives Li Youde a beating now, she wouldn’t be in too much trouble, right?
Seeing that Chen Hui didn’t speak, Li Youde just thought that he was right, but he didn’t feel the joy of winning at all. Instead, he was so irritable and depressed and he felt extremely exhausted.
What was he doing?! Some things had already been obvious a long time ago. Why should he still get angry about them?
Chen Hui took a deep breath and tried to calm down as much as possible. Even if it was Li Youde, he couldn’t be angry for no reason. No matter how bad his temper was, he still needed a reason. His anger was obviously aimed at her. Did she do something…or did she not do something?
“Just take it as if I said some angry words. Don’t think about it anymore,” Li Youde suddenly said. His face was still cold and his voice a bit stiff.
Chen Hui looked at Li Youde for a long time before saying, “Lord, have you been having a misunderstanding about this Lady Chen?”
