Chapter 39 The prank (1)
Chen Hui turned around and ran out of the alley. Seeing that Xiao Liu and Xiao Tiao were searching for her like headless flies, she quickly met up with them, “I’m here!”
Chen Hui said, “I was washed away by people just now. When I got my senses back, I couldn’t see the two of you. Fortunately, it is not complicated here.” She glanced once at that side and was a bit surprised by the chaos that she devised ad hoc. She said to Xiao Liu, “Let’s go back first. You can come back later to deal with the aftermath.”
Xiao Liu naturally agreed. Originally, when the conflict started, she was afraid of the irreversible consequences that may occur. Fortunately, nothing happened to Lady Chen and he didn’t have to be afraid anymore for being unable to face Lord Li.
The three of them returned to Li residence without further delay. Later, Xiao Liu listened to Chen Hui and went back once. After he returned, he told Chen Hui what had happened afterwards. He said that the bailiffs rushed over. After they stopped the fight, all parties were arrested. Chen Hui didn’t know if they would tell that she was the instigator, but it didn’t matter even if they tell. She had said that her backer was from the Department of Rites. If the bailiffs believed it, how would they dare to trouble the Department of Rites for such trivial matters as a fight? If they didn’t believe it, in this era of no surveillance, where could they go find the three people from Chen Hui’s group? Besides, those people who came to cause trouble for Chen Hui were all drunk. Others might not believe what they say. Most people suffered minor injuries in this incident and the troublemakers were at most detained in jail for a few days or paid a fine.
Chen Hui let out a sigh of relief when she heard the information that Xiao Liu inquired. Then, she started to have a headache about the affair with Wen Jing. She didn’t know how much of what Wen Jing told her was true. She didn’t have the memory of the original. She really was unable to judge. However, seeing that it was such a coincidence that he appeared, he had probably followed her for several days. That was why he was able to seize such a fleeting opportunity to talk to her. If she was really the original, presumably, she would’ve long fled with him and nestled together.
Chen Hui felt a bit sorry for the relationship between Wen Jing and the original, but now the original has perished and she is using this body. She is also very innocent for having to come to this era. It was impossible for her to run away with Wen Jing to fulfill the relationship between the original and Wen Jing. Besides, this was not fair to Wen Jing. She is not the same person as the original at all. She wouldn’t go to the appointment three days later. Firstly, she didn’t know where it was. Secondly, she couldn’t find a chance to meet him alone. Xiao Liu followed her every time she went out. Thirdly, she was worried that Li Youde would find out. However, if she didn’t go meet Wen Jing and let him to completely have no more illusion, she was afraid that Wen Jing would do something drastic. When that moment comes, she would indeed be innocent, but Li Youde was not likely to empathize with her.
Then, how about go and confess to Li Youde now?
At the thought of telling Li Youde that she had a lover once, she felt uncomfortable all over. Presumably, Li Youde would remember the letter she had received before, right? How furious would he be if he thought that she had been lying to him since the letter? All her effort that she had done so far to bring her and Li Youde closer would probably be in vain. Only a few days have passed since her good days, she shouldn’t be beaten back to the original place.
Chen Hui was entangled for a long time and finally decided to wait and see for two days. To Wen Jing, Li Youde was after all a figure of high authority. Wen Jing may dare to persuade her to run away, but he may not necessarily have the courage to face Li Youde. As long as she no longer gave him the opportunity to see her, he could do nothing about her.
After making up her mind, Chen Hui obediently stayed in Li residence for the next few days and didn’t dare to go out again. Li Youde had come back during these days, but didn’t look for her. She knew that Xiao Liu definitely told Li Youde about what she had encountered outside, but Li Youde might think that it was just a trivial matter and didn’t bother her. She was happy to be relaxed and even became interested in researching recipes. She didn’t have anything to do every day and was very idle.
There was only one kitchen in Li residence. Nowadays, Chen Hui was favored. No one dared to obstruct her when she went to the kitchen to make things when she was idle. When she and Xiao Tiao were busy making pastries by themselves, Ziyu, who once disliked Chen Hui always followed her around enthusiastically and tried to give Chen Hui some tips from time to time. Chen Hui held grudges. When she first time-traveled, the NPC who was supposed to guide her had abandoned her, making her life a bit harder unintentionally. Now, that she saw that her (CH) life is better, she wanted to get a share of the pie? It was a good plan, but how could she let Ziyu’s wish come true? It was still her Xiao Tiao who is the best.
Chen Hui drove Ziyu away with a cold face and ignored the embarrassment and resentment that the other party couldn’t conceal. She didn’t know how hard she worked to get where she was now. Xiao Tiao and she were comrades who went through trials and tribulations together. What was this Ziyu?
After Ziyu left the kitchen, Chen Hui felt that the air in the kitchen was a bit fresher.
On this day, Chen Hui and Xiao Tiao just made some jujube cakes that tasted incredibly sweet due to the mismatch of ingredients. When she was pondering about how to not waste these cakes, Xiao Wu came over and said that Li Youde had returned and let her go over.
Chen hui hurriedly wiped her hands and asked Xiao Tiao to stay to deal with the aftermath. She walked back quickly. Feeling a bit worried, she asked Xiao Wu, “Xiao Wu, why is lord looking for me?”
Xiao Wu said, “Lady Chen, this little one also doesn’t know.”
Chen Hui wasn’t willing to give up and asked, “Then, how does lord’s mood seem today?”
Xiao Wu thought for a moment and replied, “It seems…to be not bad.”
Chen Hui was relieved, patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder and said, “Xiao Wu, you are better. If it was Xiao Liu, he wouldn’t tell me the truth.”
Xiao Wu smiled awkwardly. He had always admired Xiao Liao. Should he also learn from Xiao Wu and talk less in the future? However, Lady Chen asked and it didn’t seem good if he didn’t reply…
After Chen Hui returned to Chrysanthemum Yard, she first changed into a clean and beautiful dress. This was something she let the tailor make from her own design, so, it was promoted as one of her favorite dresses.
Li Youde was sitting at the round table and he was playing with a jade artifact. There was joy on his face. Chen Hui glanced at what was in his hand. It seemed to be an exquisitely carved jade lion.
“Lord,” Chen Hui curtsied and said smilingly at Li Youde, “Something happy seems to be going on for lord.”
Li Youde put the jade lion back in the brocade box and beckoned at Chen Hui to come closer. Seeing that he was in a good mood, Chen Hui was naturally courageous and walked closer.
