Chapter 52 Frame (2)
Li Youde walked in a hurry. When he was about to reach Rely Bamboo Pavilion, he suddenly stopped and turned his head. Seeing that Chen Hui was following not too close nor too far away, his expression changed slightly, “What are you following for?”
“To be a witness!” Chen Hui said self-confidently, “If Qingshu refuses to admit, this Lady Chen will confront her!”
“Xiao Liu is enough!” Li Youde didn’t want Chen Hui to get involved in this matter. His mood got stirred up and his voice became shrill.
Chen Hui pulled back her neck, but refused to cower. If she couldn’t enter Rely Bamboo Pavilion, the one who would be ousted would be her. Of course, she could also find a place on the road to get rid of it, but what if it was picked up by another person or animal? This thing seemed disgusting to an outsider like her, but it was the most important thing for Li Youde. Presumably, it was his mental support. She couldn’t lose it. And there was another reason…Regardless of whether it was or wasn’t that Lady Jiang wanted to harm her, the main culprit was without doubt Li Sancai. She had to do a small retaliation nevertheless. According to the degree of retaliation, Lady Jiang would be fine. However, she could also test Lady Jiang’s reaction at the same to see if Lady Jiang wanted to harm her.
It didn’t matter if she went back this time or not. It wouldn’t be good to misunderstand people because the coming days were still long.
“That won’t do. Xiao Liu is timid. What if he is intimidated by Qingshu?” Chen Hui argued strongly for what is right, “In any case, this Lady Chen is considered half a master. Qingshu doesn’t have the guts to lie and talk nonsense in front of me! Xiao Liu, am I right?”
Xiao Liu didn’t expect that the conflagration would suddenly reach him. He didn’t dare to look at Li Youde. He replied with lowered head, “This little one also thinks that Lady Chen…is somewhat reasonable.”
“Nonsense!” Li Youde didn’t even look at Xiao Liu. He glared at Chen Hui and said, “Go back!”
Chen Hui was stunned for a moment. She pursed her lips and said unhappily, “You are scolding this Lady Chen again. This Lady Chen merely wants to help lord!”
Only now did Li Youde realize that because of his own thing, he had become so anxious that he couldn’t control his emotions at all and vented his anger inexplicable at Lady Chen.
He took a breath and lowered the volume of his voice, “Lady Chen, I didn’t scold you. Hurry up and go back.”
Originally Chen Hui thought that Li Youde would persist in his views, but unexpectedly, he conceded. Some gentleness could still be heard from his voice. She was stunned and forgot for a moment how she should reply to that.
Just at this moment, someone from Rely Bamboo Pavilion opened the door. That person looked outside in surprise and said, “Lord, you…”
It was Qingshu.
Li Youde immediately turned his head and said with a cold expression to Qingshu, “Where is that cat of Lady Jiang?”
Qingshu’s heart tightened. She glanced once at Chen Hui and quickly said, “Answering lord, that cat hasn’t come back yet. It escaped this morning and it is unknown where it went. Lady Jiang already said that if it couldn’t be found, then forget about it. No matter what, it couldn’t escape from the residence. After it is tired of playing outside, it would come back. So, this slave didn’t look for it anymore.”
Li Youde said, “Did you bump into Lady Chen when looking for the cat?”
“I did,” Qingshu didn’t dare to lie in front of Chen Hui and Xiao Liu and hurriedly said, “Lady Chen said that the cat went into the direction of the study. This slave felt that that moment that Lady Chen was joking with this slave and didn’t take it seriously…”
Li Youde humped heavily. Joking? Presumably, she was afraid that Lady Chen would lie on purpose and harm her. If it was usually, this kind of careful thinking would be normal to him, but this won’t work today anymore. If Qingshu trusted Lady Chen and went to catch the cat sooner, would so many things have happened?!
“Get out of the way! I will settle the account with you after I find my thing!” Li Youde walked into Rely Bamboo Pavilion with a gloomy face. Qingshu looked like she wanted to stop him, but she didn’t dare and could only dodge to a side.
This development was indeed beyond Qingshu’s expectation. She had obviously asked Ziyu to throw the thing in the main room of Chrysanthemum Yard. It was logical that Lord Li would go search in Chrysanthemum Yard first. It should have been found at this moment, why would he still come here? Could it be that…Ziyu, that cheap wench, did something?
Qingshu was extremely nervous for a while and didn’t care about Chen Hui who followed Li Youde into Rely Bamboo Pavilion as if it was a matter of course.
Chen Hui had been to Rely Bamboo Pavilion several times before. Not once was she so nervous and excited like this time…framing another! Being the bad person for once, she felt excited thinking about it!
The other servants followed Li Youde into Rely Bamboo Pavilion while Chen Hui took advantage of the chaos to walk to the side of a small flowerpot. She shook her hand and threw the thing behind the flowerpot. Then, she came behind Li Youde with a natural look.
When Jiang Bihan heard the noise outside, she naturally walked out. Seeing that Li Youde came while bringing so many people, her expression changed slightly and she said, “Lord, don’t know what…”
Although, Li Youde was anxious to find his thing, when facing Jiang Bihan, he still slightly suppressed his temper and said, “Lady Jiang, your cat stole something from my study. I came to look for it. It’s is fine if you just look at the side.”
After Li Youde finished speaking, he asked his men to start looking for his thing. Chen Hui looked around leisurely but didn’t move around. Because she had gotten rid of the thing without being too obvious about it, someone shouted, “Lord, found it!”
As soon as this voice fell, many people’s hearts hung in their throats. Only Li Youde was purely happy. He walked over quickly and saw that the pouch in the servant’s hand is indeed his. He quickly snatched it, but it was inconvenient to open it in public to inspect. He could only squeeze it briefly. After making sure that the amount was correct, he felt slightly relieved.
Chen Hui had been paying attention to the expression of Jiang Bihan and Qingshu. After the servant discovered the thing, their expressions were a bit weird and even a bit panicked.
Chen Hui sighed. It seemed that it was indeed done by Lady Jiang? She wasn’t clear about why Lady Jiang would be so troublesome. If the thing was thrown in her room, it was impossible for her to be framed!
As Chen Hui looked, she felt that something was wrong. The two looked at each other. Their expression was a bit panicked, but no one looked at her once? If Lady Jiang secretly let Ziyu throw this thing at her place, then as soon as she saw that this thing had returned to her, she would immediately understand that she (CH) did it, right? But so far, she hasn’t looked at her. It was as if she totally didn’t know that this was done by her (CH). What did this mean?
Only after Li Youde’s treasure was recovered did he have the mood to think about what was going on. It was done by that cat? The thing is here, where is the cat? Why isn’t there even a shadow of it?
He looked once at Jiang Bihan, narrowed his eyes and frowned slightly. Should he ask?
Just when Li Youde was about to ask, he suddenly smelled something weird, but it wasn’t a strange smell to him at all.
A kind of substance used to prevent rotting.
He lowered his head and sniffed lightly. The pouch isolated the smell. He could barely smell it. The smell seemed to come from the side. He looked sideways.
The person beside him is Lady Chen.
