Chapter 96 Relative (2)
Chen Hui slowly lowered her head. She lifted the quilt, glanced at it and her expression changed. She turned to look at Li Youde who was facing her with the side of his face and whispered, “Lord…”
Li Youde looked over and frowned slightly. He suddenly got a bad premonition after seeing her guilty expression as if she had made a mistake.
Chen Hui lowered her head and blushed, “My period came…”
Of course, it was nothing if only her period came, but the problem is…it didn’t come at a good time and leaked!
The last time Chen Hui had her period was on the way to the frontier. Her period had always been unregular. It might also have something to do with being unaccustomed to the conditions of the frontier and being frightened at the frontier that the period was delayed for half a month. And it happened that by coincidence, it had leaked onto Li Youde’s bed!
Li Youde remembered how Chen Hui’s face turned pale from the pain at that time. Having heard what she said, he hurriedly asked, “Does it hurt again? I will let a doctor come and have a look. It is not good that you are always in pain.”
Chen Hui shook her head.
“That…”
Chen Hui looked pitifully at Li Youde, “Lord, you will forgive his Lady Chen no matter what this Lady Chen did wrong?”
Li Youde’s frowned brows didn’t unfrown. His eyes gradually moved down. He suddenly stared at Chen Hui and said, “You…”
“It’s me,” Chen Hui replied quickly, “Lord, this Lady Chen is sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose. I didn’t expect it to come so suddenly…it, it leaked…”
Li Youde’s expression was slightly unfathomable, “This is not a big deal. Just replace the sheets if they got dirty. Look at you, those who don’t know would think you did something very wrong!”
Chen Hui sneaked a peak at Li Youde and saw that he really didn’t care. She felt relieved. In fact, if she thought about it, he was so understanding when she had her period on the way to the frontier; he might not have a prejudice against menstrual events that are considered ‘filth’.
“Then…I will change the sheets,” Chen Hui rolled over and got out of bed. She put on her coat and looked at the eye-catching dark dot on the bed that was mixed with the indigo-blue sheets. The menstrual blood has just come in a small amount and since she was wearing trousers, there were not many stains on the sheets.
It really was a bit like…blood from losing one’s virginity.
Chen Hui didn’t speak out her thought. Presumably, Li Youde wouldn’t be happy to hear that. She was about to go look through the closet when she heard Li Youde say, “No need, just let Ah Da and the others do it.”
Chen Hui thought that it was too embarrassing, but when she thought of the menstrual blood on the sheet, she didn’t refuse and just whispered, “This Lady Chen will go back first. Lord, goodnight. I will call Ah Da and Ah Er.”
“Let a doctor have a look tomorrow. If there is a need, let him prescribe some medications to nurse your health, like lingzhi or ginseng, there are in the storeroom. No need to be frugal with them,” Li Youde said. Fearing that Chen Hui would not take it seriously, he gave another example to scare her, “Don’t think that you are young and can spoil your body. I have seen many cases during my years in the palace. There are countless people who didn’t take care of their body when they were young and got a whole body of illnesses when they got old. If you see that tragic appearance, it would be enough to give you nightmares for three days!”
Chen Hui raised her head and looked at Li Youde. She felt that his nagging appearance was so cute that made her smile sweetly. She nodded and replied, “Okay, I will definitely see a doctor tomorrow. Lord, I’m leaving then.”
“Leave quickly!”
Chen Hui walked quickly to the outside and called Ah Da and Ah Er. The two were very surprised when they saw Chen Hui and didn’t know how come she came out of Lord Li’s room.
Chen Hui said a bit embarrassed, “Lord asked you to go in to change the sheets.”
The two of them were dumbstruck. They saw Chen Hui hurriedly walk to the side room, but the footsteps didn’t seem very steady as if there were some discomfort.
When they entered the inner room, the two were a bit surprised when they saw the dark dot after Li Youde told them to change the sheets. They thought that Lord Li had already had Lady Chen long ago, but it turned out to be just now…
The two exchanged an ambiguous smile. They didn’t dare to make fun of this, let alone mention it. They quickly changed the sheets and went out. Before leaving, Ah Er glanced at Li Youde who was in a good mood at the moment and winked at Ah Da. Ah Da gave a meaningful smile and walked away. At this time, they finally understood the reason for Lady Chen’s discomfort before she left. It was just that the two of them couldn’t help but sigh with sorrow that lord didn’t let Lady Chen stay over and drove her back to her room instead. This was a bit overboard, but he is Lord Li after all and they had no part in speaking up.
After Chen Hui returned to the side room, she closed the door and lay down on the bed with a smile. Even if she deliberately made others think that she had a substantial relationship with Li Youde, it still makes her feel a bit of sweetness. She is absolutely terminally ill with no cure.
Fortunately, she had given up treatment.
Li Youde had already gone to the palace when Chen Hui woke the next day. Presumably, he was afraid that she wouldn’t invite a doctor, he additionally reminded Xiao Liu. The doctor was already waiting outside when Chen Hui finished breakfast.
Chen Hui went to see the doctor with an indifferent attitude. From Xiao Liu, she heard that this doctor had made great achievements in gynecology and had a high reputation in the capital. The other party looked and asked some questions. Finally, he said something about the body being weak and of cold composition and prescribed some medicine to Chen Hui. Chen Hui thanked the doctor and let Xiao Liu send the other party out. She decided to endure the menstrual discomfort and tour the residence where she has become the mistress now.
Chen Hui brought Xiao Tiao, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Liu and went to the current vacant Orchid Yard. It was cleaned regularly, so it didn’t look dirty and abandoned. If she truly wanted to be the proper mistress, it was not bad to live in this courtyard. However, she was improper. She must dominate the side room of Chrysanthemum Yard. The pavilion has to be near the water first. If she wanted to cultivate feelings, she couldn’t be far away.
- The pavilion has to be near the water first: using one’s proximity to the powerful to obtain favor,
After leaving Orchid Yard, Chen Hui toured the rooms on the east and west and the kitchen. She wondered whether Li Youde had announced her upgrade in status to the people of the residence. She wasn’t too arrogant until she returned to the Plum Yard where she used to live. She felt the joy of returning to her hometown when she arrived at Plum Yard. She looked around and saw that there was no major change here and she felt that things had remained the same but the people changed. Plum Yard had always been like this, what about her? From the pitiful her who couldn’t even eat meat, she climbed up to the position of the mistress of Li residence. And this happened in only half a year’s time.
Aiya, she is really amazing. She was born to enjoy life!
When passing Bamboo Pavilion, Chen Hui did as if she didn’t see this place and bypassed it. She had reached a consensus with Li Youde on the matter of Jiang Bihan. Just treat her as a vase, look at it, but don’t need to do too much about it. Although, it was very unpleasant to think that there was another woman in her man’s backyard, but who told her to come too late? If the emperor pardoned the whole world one day and give Jiang Bihan a chance to get rid of her status as a lowly slave, she could help her choose a decent marriage together, which was probably the best for the both of them.
