Chapter 4 Infiltrate
Chen Hui knew certainly that the other party wouldn’t be able to recognize her. Xiao Tiao had said that she came to Li residence overnight. Moreover, she was womenfolk. Plus, she had been locked in Plum Yard afterwards. The possibility that an outsider man could see her was almost zero.
In addition, before she came out, she wanted to borrow Xiao Tiao’s clothes, but Xiao Tiao’s body was too small. Although, her body was also not tall, but it was about 1.60 meters. If she wore Xiao Tiao’s clothes, it would be like an exhibitionist. She could only change in her most plain clothes. The wound on her head was considered to be on a high place and it had already formed scabs. She had tidied up her front bangs a little, so that she could cover it. Usually, people wouldn’t think that there was a scabby scarred wound under her bangs. The locust tree wasn’t high. The place where she stood before was lush and leafy and was facing the wall. As long as she led him a bit and her attitude was natural, most people wouldn’t doubt her.
Unexpectedly, the tall man in a martial attire backed away with Chen Hui’s approach.
Chen Hui looked puzzled and surprised at this man. Only now did she have the time to look at this person and saw his appearance clearly.
This man looked very young. Maybe, he wasn’t even twenty-year-old. He was at least 1.85 meters. His body was sturdy and his muscles clung under his clothes. He looked strong and powerful. Moreover, his face was full of heroism. His eyebrows were thick and dark and his eyes were shining. If you got closer, the oppressing feeling was enough to let people’s legs go soft.
However, to Chen Hui’s surprise, she actually saw that this strong man’s ears reddened. It wasn’t because he was shy, right?
Chen Hui said in surprise, “Brother, why are you hiding? Wait, you can’t be a thief who had broken in, right?” She put on a panicked expression as if she would scream at any moment.
“I’m not a thief.” That man didn’t discover that the initiative had been snatched by Chen Hui. He quickly opened his mouth to stop her and said, “My name is Gu Tianhe. Originally, I was a soldier of the Left Tengxiang. Seven days ago, I was transferred to work under Lord Li.”
Chen Hui still had an alert expression, “Really?”
“I didn’t lie to you.” Gu Tianhe frowned slightly, “I happened to patrol till here. You…” He glanced once at the wall of Plum Yard.
Chen Hui pretended to not have seen that. She patted her chest and said, “I was frightened. It turned out to be soldier Gu. I thought that it was a thief! Since you are not a thief, then, I will not delay you from doing your job anymore.”
She turned and wanted to leave, but unexpectedly Gu Tianhe raised his voice and asked, “From which department are you?”
Chen Hui stopped, turned and looked at Gu Tianhe. Don’t know from where she took out a handkerchief, covered her face and said shyly, “Soldier Gu…I…I work in the kitchen….If you come to look for me, presumably, grandmother Xu will scold me…” She appeared like a shy girl who Gu Tianhe had hit on and also inadvertently told him that she knew that grandmother Xu was in charge of the kitchen.
Gu Tianhe was silent for a moment. He saw through what the young girl in front of him was thinking. After struggling for a moment, he still asked, “Why do you want to peek inside of Plum Yard?”
Chen Hui looked up at him innocently, “Soldier Gu, I was just a bit curious about that Lady Chen. I heard that master must snatch her at all costs. I think that that Lady Chen must be like a fairy.”
Gu Tianhe frowned slightly and said, “Lady Chen wasn’t snatched by Lord Li. Don’t speak nonsense.”
Chen Hui was slightly stunned. There was no pretense this time. Previously, she had also casted doubt on her judgement. At this moment, she only said “snatch” because she had the meaning to probe. After all, she was from the kitchen and the information she got was not necessarily accurate. It wasn’t surprising that she heard some nonsense. However, she didn’t expect that she got a result from this probing. This soldier Gu said that he came here seven days ago. When she came, he was already in Li residence. Maybe, he truly knew the truth.
“Huh?” Chen Hui said surprised, “Everyone said so. I thought….How did that Lady Chen got here? She is obviously unwilling and charged into a pillar….”
Gu Tianhe casted her a glance. Presumably, he had never seen such a gossipy girl and may feel that this curiosity would kill her. He said, “Don’t ask much about Lord Li’s private affairs, otherwise, you won’t even know how you have died.”
Chen Hui, “…” If it had nothing to do with me, I wouldn’t have inquired.
Gu Tianhe looked like someone who knew the inside story but he was unwilling to speak about it, making Chen Hui uncomfortable that she was about to tweak her ears and scratch her cheeks. She suddenly walked a few steps over. Sure enough, she found out that Gu Tianhe backed away before she approached within two meters of him and his ears quickly turned red. He couldn’t help but shout when she tried to approach again, “Stop!”
Chen Hui pretended to have suffered a grievance and looked at Gu Tianhe, “Soldier Gu, why are you so fierce to me? Did I do something wrong? You said that Lady Chen wasn’t snatched, then, she wasn’t snatched. I won’t say much about it. Why do you have to be like this?”
In any case, Chen Hui had gained experience and knowledge in the modern world after all. She guessed that he may have a little phobia towards the opposite sex. That was why he reacted so fiercely.
Every hair of Gu Tianhe was about to stand up. This kind of feeling was strange. He couldn’t get close to women within five feet. Once he got close, his ears would get red uncontrollably. In the past, there was no women within five feet of him because of his cold appearance. He didn’t except that this time, he met someone who wasn’t afraid of him and who kept approaching him repeatedly.
Gu Tianhe’s expression was still cold but his tone had unconsciously softened, “I was the one who brought Lady Chen into the residence. Her father had gifted her to Lord Li. Lord Li didn’t snatch her.”
Chen Hui took a small step backwards subconsciously. What this soldier Gu said had shocked her. She was afraid of being recognized by him. However, when she thought about it, he had no reaction after the two talked for so long. It could be seen that even the person was brought in by him, he didn’t see the face of the person at that time.
Then, if the things were really like how Gu Tianhe, then the situation was very far from good! Just thinking about it one would know that the original owner’s father sold his daughter for glory. That eunuch Li had also accepted it, but it happened that the original owner didn’t want to follow a eunuch and committed suicide because of that. If it was like what Chen Hui thought previously; that she had been snatched that by that eunuch, then, it would be excusable that she had committed suicide. However, she was gifted by her father. That eunuch may have thought that he would get a gentle and considerate little woman. In the end, the original owner was so fierce and directly played suicide. That was like fiercely slapping one’s face.
Of course, no matter what the reason was, the most pitiful one was the original owner. If it was her who had encountered such a thing, then, she…if there was delicious food, of, of course, she would endure….Anyway, she hoped that the original owner could rest in peace.
“Oh my god, it turned out to be like this! Then, I should tell the others to not speak nonsense. Master is not that kind of person.” Chen Hui continued to cover her face. “Soldier Gu, thank you. Then…then, I’ll leave first?”
She raised her head and looked at Gu Tianhe and then quickly retreated back. She said that she wanted to leave, but there was no sign of her feet moving. It could be seen that she was “reluctant to part”.
Gu Tianhe was very uncomfortable being approached by Chen Hui repeatedly. Hearing her say that, he hurriedly nodded to her, turned and left. He even forgot to ask for her name.
Who let Chen Hui’s performance be so natural? From his point of view, he only prevented a curious girl from courting disaster.
Moreover, while he was leaving, he could still feel that girl’s scorching gaze. As if feeling brambles and thorns on his back, he quickened his pace.
Feeling brambles and thorns on his back: uneasy and nervousOnly after Chen Hui saw that Gu Tianhe had left her sight completely did she feel relieved. She walked to the wall and whispered, “Xiao Tiao?”
Immediately, from the wall came Xiao Tiao’s trembling voice, “Lady Chen…”
Chen Hui said, “Don’t worry. I’m fine. I will leave now. Pay more attention.”
Xiao Tiao’s “lady, be careful” had been thrown to the back of Chen Hui’s head.
Chen Hui had the general layout of Li residence in her mind, but after all, there would be a gap between Xiao Tiao’s description and the field. When she walked in the residence with her head down, even if she didn’t bump into anyone, her nerves were tense.
Plum Yard was at the west. Bamboo Pavilion was at the east of Plum Yard. There was a long corridor in between with a small number of flowers and plants. Chrysanthemum Yard was further at the east and Orchid Yard was at the south of Chrysanthemum Yard.
When Chen Hui went to Chrysanthemum Yard, there was a long promenade that separated her and the main house. She walked very cautiously. The moment she saw someone in the front, she would leave the promenade and hide. She trembled the whole way to Chrysanthemum Yard with fear.
Stroking her beating heart, Chen Hui felt that this was more exhilarating than going to a haunted house.
The sky hasn’t darkened yet. There was no one at the entrance of Chrysanthemum Yard.
Chen Hui still remembered what Xiao Tiao told her. She definitely wouldn’t be able to enter the important place such as the study in the front yard. If the goal was there, she feels that she had to give up without even having started. However, Chrysanthemum Yard was different. It was like a common one family house with three rooms and one living room. Normally, no one would lock this yard.
However, there were also some servants who served eunuch Li’s daily necessities at Chrysanthemum Yard. It wasn’t easy to slip inside. Perhaps, she should wait outside?
When Chen Hui was hesitating, two girls dressed like maids walked over. One of them was carrying a food box.
The destination of the two was precisely Chrysanthemum Yard. When they arrived at the entrance of Chrysanthemum Yard, suddenly walked out someone from the entrance that original was empty. That person greeted the two smilingly. They obviously knew each other.
Chen Hui rejoiced and felt fortunate that she didn’t act reckless. Otherwise, she would’ve been caught on spot now.
From afar, she saw the two enter the yard and entered the main room. Chen Hui suddenly ran over to the entrance of the yard. In front of the guard, she pretended to be very exhausted, put her hands on her knees and said, “Cui er, Cui er, has big sister entered?” She had heard the name of one of the girls from afar.
Er: term of endearment.That servant looked at fifteen or sixteen-year-old. After he heard that, he said, “She is inside.”
Only after he had finished speaking did he realize that the girl in front of him was very unfamiliar. He had never seen her before. Just as he was about to inquire, he heard her said while panting, “Big sister Cui er, they have forgotten something. I rushed over to give it to them!”
Having said that, she looked up and smiled at that servant and quickly went inside.
That servant opened and closed his mouth. Looking at how an unfamiliar girl went into the room that big sister Cui er previously went in, he closed his mouth. It was really that Chen Hui’s appearance was too calm and natural. Aside from never having seen her before, she looked like she had known Cui er for a long time. She was probably a newcomer. He thought like that and subconsciously felt that if big sister Cui er didn’t know her, she would’ve screamed by now. Since there was no scream, then she presumably knew her.
But in fact, Chen Hui was so nervous when she gradually approached the main room. When she entered, she found out that the two had their backs facing the door. She quickly glanced around and found no place to hide. She suddenly got an idea and hid behind the opened door.
Cui er and the little maid were replacing the pastry and tea on the table and cleaned the room after finishing.
Chen Hui felt anxious. She had come in, but someone knew that she was inside. She couldn’t stay. Or should she open the window of the room, go out first and then come back in through the wall…
She looked through the gap between the door and the door frame to the entrance of the courtyard. Just when she was hesitating about what to do, she found that the servant who guarded the entrance had been replaced!
Chen Hui decided to take this gamble. When Cui er and the little maid walked to the entrance and chatted a bit with the servant, the two parties parted ways. She also relaxed. The servant who was handed over the shift obviously didn’t know that big sister Cui er “brought” one more person. The original servant had never imagined that big sister Cui er wouldn’t bring the third person out and he also didn’t mention this to the servant who took over his shift. This created an opportunity for Chen Hui.
Chen Hui was finally able to come from behind the door. She avoided the sight of the servant at the entrance of the courtyard, walked to the table and sat beside it. The place where the table was, was a bit deep inside of the room. The servant couldn’t see her. Chen Hui was at ease and her glowing eyes looked at the pastries on the table.
She had seen just now. The old pastries that had been replaced was basically intact. The new ones were fresh and delicious. Thinking about how she couldn’t even eat meat when the pastries in this eunuch’s room were removed without being touched, her heart felt unbalanced. She took out a handkerchief and wrapped two pieces of pastries…If she was unsuccessful this time, she could bring them back for Xiao Tiao to try.
Chen Hui took a piece of pastry and tidied the rest. Then, she squatted behind the table and thought while eating about what she should said to that eunuch when she sees him.
The suicide act from the original owner had definitely hurt the self-esteem of eunuch Li. She must ponder about how to satisfy eunuch Li’s self-esteem. Kneeling on the ground and ask eunuch Li for forgiveness while crying? Sit beside the table and pretend to be in deep thoughts while waiting for eunuch Li and said that she slipped and had not committed suicide? Put on a seductive appearance, seduce eunuch Li and let him forget the past?…Cough, cough, forget the last one. Seducing someone who doesn’t have a lifeblood was simply like throwing flirtatious glances at a blind man. She would probably end with an egg on her face while trying to be clever, right?
After a while, Chen Hui felt that it was too dangerous to stay in the outer room. Chen Hui quietly went to the inner room. There was also no one there. A large bed was against the wall. A gauze curtain hung at the top of the bed, leaving only one side to get on and off the bed.
Chen Hui thought, this eunuch Li truly regarded himself as a little eunuch.
The relatively enclosed space inside made Chen Hui’s sense of security skyrocket. She was a lot more relaxed and couldn’t help from looking around. From her impression, a eunuch who has some status were usually rich. She didn’t know what rank this eunuch Li was, but there were obviously many good things hidden inside this room.
She didn’t dare to mess around and only looked. After a while, her attention fell on a box at the foot of the bed. The box wasn’t locked. It looked quite big. If a servant came in, she might be able to hide inside of it for a while. Before seeing eunuch Li, she couldn’t be caught and be repatriated…
Chen Hui squatted in front of the box and opened it. The light was dim inside the room. She first saw a long strip of white jade. Her eyes couldn’t help from lighting up. So many scepter jades!
…Not scepter jades, these were jade male genitals. Moreover, it was a box full of jade genitals of various shapes and sizes!
