Chapter 25 Treasure (2)
Chen Hui packed up her things with the state of mind of being killed for a righteous cause. In fact, there was not much to pack. It was only a box after packing. Looking at the wooden box that was too heavy for her to carry by herself, she missed the modern suitcase so much. Before bringing the packed things out, she looked for a set of white-bottomed blue embroidered clothes. It was probably the best outfit here. After everything was packed, she changed her clothes and fiddled for a long time in front of the mirror. After she did her hair, she also put on light makeup. Xiao Tiao had never done the job of serving people. Her skills were very bad and could only aide Chen Hui. After tossing for a while, Chen Hui nodded in satisfaction while looking at herself in the mirror. It was going out to stroll down the street after all. How could she not dress up? It was indeed very hateful that that exasperating had to make her move to Chrysanthemum Yard, but she was extremely excited when he said that he wanted to take her out to see the shops.
When Chen Hui had just finished packing, someone called outside at the door.
Xiao Tiao went to open the door and invited that person in.
“Lady Chen, lord asked this little one to help lady move the things,” Ah Da said.
Chen Hui nodded, “It is just this box.”
Ah Da brought four people over. He didn’t expect that there was only one box. It was too light to carry with two people.
Chen Hui was conscious that her value had risen now. A faint smile appeared on her face and said aloofly, “Ah Da, since we are all gone, what will happen to this Plum Yard?”
“Lord didn’t say. Probably, it would be leaving it like this first,” Ah Da said.
Didn’t say. Just leave it like this. Someday, she would come back to live here.
When Ah Da was instructing people to move the things, Xiao Tiao secretly pulled Chen Hui’s sleeve and said, “La, lady, will…will this slave go with you?”
“Of course!” Chen Hui said, “Or is it that you want to go back to the kitchen?”
Xiao Tiao quickly shook her head. Although, she was stupid, she knew who was good to her. Although, it seemed that she didn’t live especially good days after following Chen Hui, but she liked to stay at lady’s side. Just now, she had been wanting to ask about this, but was unable to. She was really happy now that she learned that Lady Chen was going to take her with her.
“Isn’t that fine? Follow me, don’t be afraid.” Chen Hui rubbed Xiao Tiao’s head again. If there was no one familiar to keep her company at a place like Chrysanthemum Yard, even she would feel uneasy. Furthermore, what if Xiao Tiao was put back in the kitchen and bullied again? Following her to Chrysanthemum Yard, although facing Li Youde may be a bit more dangerous, but Li Youde was mainly directed at her. As long as she was blocking in front of Xiao Tiao, he wouldn’t be able to make things difficult for Xiao Tiao. It would be safer for Xiao Tiao this way. As for Li Youde never mentioning that she could bring Xiao Tiao…she didn’t care. Anyway, he also didn’t say that she couldn’t!
With Chen Hui’s approval, Xiao Tiao immediately went back to pack her own clothes that were even less than Chen Hui’s and followed closely behind Chen Hui.
So, Chen Hui didn’t even ask Ah Da and directly led Xiao Tiao to Chrysanthemum Yard. Ah Da looked at Xiao Tiao but didn’t say anything.
When she walked out of Plum Yard, Chen Hui turned her gaze and saw that Qingshu was standing not far away, seemingly curious about what happened to her (CH).
Chen Hui raised her chin and smiled triumphantly at Qingshu. A silent provocation was released. Qingshu’s face changed. She turned and returned to Rely Bamboo Pavilion. Chen Hui really smiled triumphantly in her heart. That was right, just like that. Let Lady Jiang quickly put out the fighting attitude. Her Plum Yard was still waiting for her return!
After arriving at Chrysanthemum Yard, Chen Hui was a bit stunned when she saw Ah Da instruct the servant to bring her things into the side room. Then, she was glad. She thought that after she had moved over, she would be living in the same room as Li Youde. It turned out to be living by herself. It truly let someone have a big sigh out of relief.
After the few people had arrived, Li Youde who had changed clothes walked out. He glanced up and down at Chen Hui, nodded in satisfaction and said, “Leave your maid to pack out your things. Let’s leave.”
Chen Hui gave Xiao Tiao a comforting look and hurriedly followed behind Li Youde.
“To which store do you want to go first?” Li Youde asked while they walked.
Chen Hui saw that Li Youde was quite talkative this time. Her courage got bigger and she said carefully, “Can we go see the House of Jewels?”
Li Youde swept Chen Hui a glance and smiled, “What, regret it?”
Chen Hui shook her head, “No, lord. This Lady Chen is just curious and want to go have a look.”
Naturally, she also liked shiny things like gold, silver, pearls, but even if Li Youde was willing to give her that House of Jewels, she didn’t dare to want it. She wasn’t a fool. She chose ones that didn’t look like it had much money and which she was a bit interested in. Otherwise, if by chance, she chose the expensive one, he would have a fall out with her. By then, she would get nothing.
“Alright, I am in a good mood today. So, I will take you to broaden your horizons,” Li Youde said and didn’t forget to stab Chen Hui again. “Your Chen household looks well-established. Why does Lady Chen seem like a country bumpkin who hasn’t seen the wider aspect of the world?”
…Dare to belittle her as a country bumpkin? She had seen airplanes, cannons, aircrafts, drove a car, used cellphones and played with computers. He didn’t even know what those are and still dare to belittle her as a country bumpkin? Looking down on her with his dog’s eyes!
“This Lady Chen had always been kept at home by father. Naturally, I haven’t seen much of the world,” Chen Hui said docile.
Li Youde sneered again, “Your father had made an error in judgement. With such a bold daughter like you, he still didn’t bring you out to see the world. It is Chen household’s loss.”
Chen Hui knew that Li Youde wasn’t praising her. Instead, it was deriding Chen Pingzhi. But she pretended to not understand and said smilingly, “Thanking lord for your praise. This Lady Chen feel ashamed to receive it.”
Li Youde casted her a sidelong glance. He had forgotten that her ability to climb along the pole wasn’t small.
The two got into the carriage and the carriage moved quickly. Sensing that Li Youde was staring at her, Chen Hui decisively turned her head, lifted the curtain and looked outside. She absolutely didn’t want to be the dog’s leg and serve him. The goal of eating and drinking well could be considered to be achieved. Her hard work would end here. In the future, as long as her good days wasn’t affected, she would definitely work as little as she can. If he had the ability, he should just order her around with one sentence!
Li Youde said, “Lady Chen, I’m tired. Still not coming over to massage me? Could it be that you want me to invite you with a store?”
Chen Hui, “…” If she still doesn’t raise the flag, she truly wanted to seal this crow’s beak of hers!
Crow’s beak: person who makes an inauspicious remark.Chen Hui whisper, “Yes, lord.”
