Chapter 97 Will always be here (3)
Chen Hui finally understood why even when Li Youde knew that this person took liberties with her, he would still accepted him as godson. The saying there is gold under a man’s knee does not exist for him. He is someone who knows how to say different things to different people with a lot of flattery. No wonder Li Youde has been flattered into happiness. Even she finds him pleasing to the eyes.
- There is gold under a man’s knees: a man should have dignity and not bow down/ real man does not kneel easily.
Chen Hui also didn’t mind having a godson who is many years older. She put on airs and said, “Huang Renhou, you are so many years younger than me. How can you still call me godmother without embarrassment?”
Huang Renhou didn’t feel the slightest bit embarrassed by Chen Hui’s question. He still knelt on the ground and said with a flattering smile, “Godmother belongs to godfather and it was godfather himself who told this godson to recognize you as godmother. How can this godson be unwilling? This godson couldn’t be happier! Even if others want, they don’t have such a beautiful and young godmother as this godson!”
Chen Hui leaned back a bit, looked at Huang Renhou and said with a smile, “Then, does lord know that he has a godson who has improper thoughts about his godmother?”
Huang Renhou’s complexion changed and quickly said, “Godmother, this can’t be said irresponsibly. How can this godson dare to have improper thoughts about godmother? That is unfilial!”
“Oh? Can it be that I’m talking irresponsibly about that you led a group of people to take liberties with me?” Chen Hui smiled faintly.
This smile almost made Huang Renhou so scared that cold sweat appeared. He quickly lowered his head and said, “Godmother, this godson was ignorant at that time. Godmother, spare this godson this time. Since this godson got to know that you are this godson’s godmother, this godson didn’t dare to show you the slightest disrespect! If you tell this godson to go east, this godson will never dare to go west!”
“Let me ask you, is there someone surnamed Wei in your group?” Chen Hui finally made her purpose clear for asking Huang Renhou over this time.
“Uh…there is someone…,” Huang Renhou said.
“He is a friend of a certain someone and that person is not on friendly terms with lord. Are you not afraid that he will get something from you that can be used against lord?” Chen hui asked.
Huang Renhou looked terrified, “Godmother, this godson swears that this godson will never do anything that will cause godfather harm and won’t let anyone get anything that can be used against godfather from this godson!”
Chen Hui frowned, “Then you should stay away from that surnamed Wei.”
“This…this…,” Huang Renhou hesitated. He didn’t agree immediately.
Chen Hui snorted coldly, “You keep calling me godmother but you don’t even listen to me on such a trivial matter. Heh, I think that lord doesn’t know very well about the fact that you took liberties with me that day. I should talk to him in detail.”
Huang Renhou said with a bitter face, “Yes, yes, yes, this godson does not dare to have any intention of disobeying godmother! From now on, this godson will definitely stay away from that one surnamed Wei. So, godmother, rest assured!” He knew that the most terrifying talk in this world is the pillow talk. So, he could only go with what she is saying.
“Good, you can go back,” Chen Hui said.
Huang Renhou said, “Yes, godmother! If godfather knows that godmother thinks so much about him, godfather will be very pleased!”
Chen Hui nodded helplessly and signaled him to get out. She is very happy that Huang Renhou will report today’s incident to Li Youde and let him know how much she thought of him!
Chen Hui didn’t expect that the night she met Huang Renhou, Li Youde came back from the palace.
Someone came to inform her the moment Li Youde entered the residence. She immediately let people prepare things for a bath and then waited at the gate of the yard. Seeing the light of the latter approaching slowly like a lighthouse, she took the initiative to go greet him. The moment she saw Li Youde, a smile appeared on her face, “Lord, you have returned.”
Li Youde’s slightly tired face lit up the moment he saw Chen Hui. He only felt warm in his heart. When Chen Hui came to his side, he continued to move forward shoulder to shoulder with her.
“Lord, are you tired these days,” Chen Hui asked.
Li Youde said, “How can serving the emperor be tiring? That is a great thing that others can’t even wish for.”
Chen Hui leaned over and whispered, “This Lady Chen really envies the emperor.”
Li Youde cast her a glance. He didn’t respond and continued to walk into the main room.
Chen Hui let someone bring warm water, soaked a handkerchief, squeezed it dry and slowly wiped off the makeup on Li Youde’s face.
Li Youde closed his eyes and let Chen Hui’s small hands gently wipe his face comfortably.
After a while, Chen Hui threw the handkerchief into the water. She walked around to behind Li Youde and massaged his shoulder. When he relaxed, she bent down and whispered in Li Youde’s ear, “Lord, I missed you so much these few days that you were away.”
“Mm,” Li Youde responded lightly, but his heart felt as sweet as eating honey.
Chen Hui stopped massaging at some point. She put her arms around Li Youde’s neck. Her lips pressed against his ear and whispered like a summer breeze, “Lord, a pair of mother and son came here claiming to be your aunt and cousin…Li Xiaozhu.”
Li Youde was already so comfortable that his thoughts were fleeting. When he suddenly heard the two words ‘Li Xiaozhu’, he opened his eyes suddenly and stood up, almost throwing Chen Hui off him. Chen Hui suffered a fright and her arms tightened, almost strangling Li Youde. As soon as he stood up, he felt suffocated and bent down. Chen Hui hastily let go full of remorse. Seeing Li Youde coughing while covering his neck and almost choking in tears, she felt guilty. She almost murdered her husband!
Li Youde didn’t get angry at Chen Hui after he had recovered. Instead, he asked in a daze, “What about that pair of mother and son?”
Chen Hui said, “I let Xiao Liu lead them to stay in the inn. Xiao Liu is also making arrangement for their meals and fun in the past few days.”
Li Youde slowly walked to the table and sat down. He seemed to be in a daze. After a long while, he said, “You did very…very well.”
Chen Hui pursed her lips, walked to Li Youde and squatted. She held Li Youde’s hand, looked up at him and said softly, “Lord…if you want someone to talk with, this Lady Chen will always be here.”
