Chapter 99 Forced to take medication (2)

When Chen Hui returned to Li residence, Li Youde was waiting for her. She didn’t even have time to have a change of clothes and went to the main room excitedly. She opened her arms widely to fall into his embrace, but Li Youde coughed and reached out a hand to stop her. He let her sit on a stool.

Chen Hui sat down opposite him unhappily and heard him ask, “What did you tell them?”

The plan Chen Hui had come up with when discussing a countermeasure with Li Youde yesterday sounded very simple, especially her part. It can be summarized in one sentence: she will frighten the mother and son and trick them into running away in a hurry. As for Li Youde’s part, she deliberately told Li Youde that he had to emphasize the word ‘whole’.

The mother and son had left the capital at this moment and Li Youde also arranged for people to block them outside of the capital, so, they could beat up Li Xiaozhuang. He was naturally in a good mood at the moment, so, he was a bit curious about Chen Hui’s dialogue.

Although, Chen Hui had roughly told Li Youde about the idea of frightening the two of them away, she didn’t tell him in detail what she had to say. Li Youde was not very happy when he got to know that Chen Hui arranged for herself to do that. However, he couldn’t think of a better way, so, he let her mess around.

“The matter is done, so, you don’t have to pursue those trivial matters,” Chen Hui poured herself a cup of tea. She was about to drink it but it was held down by Li Youde.

“This tea is already cold. You will die from its coldness,” He motioned for Ah Da to make new tea. He looked at Chen Hui and made a tsk sound, “Don’t want to tell me? Presumably, you didn’t say anything good.”

“It was not anything good to begin with,” Chen Hui responded with a smile, “Lord, didn’t you agree with everything yesterday? It would be boring to bring up old scores afterward…Besides, lord has always been magnanimous and will not mind such things that are not considered offensive!”

“Don’t think so highly of me. I am very petty and can’t tolerate others saying anything bad about me,” Li Youde said enigmatically.

“No, no, lord, don’t humble yourself. Nothing like that happened,” Chen Hui smiled, “No matter how lord treats other people, lord is very good to this Lady Chen. This Lady Chen will keep it in this Lady Chen’s heart.”

“That would be the best!” Li Youde said. He couldn’t say anything to spoil the scenery when looking at the flattering smile that would not let people feel dislike it.

Ah Da changed the tea. Li Youde poured Chen Hui and himself a cup. Seeing her blow the hot tea and holding it with both hands, he remembered something and asked, “I heard that you don’t want to drink the medicine prescribed by the doctor?”

Chen Hui groaned, looked at Li Youde and said, “Did that traitor Xiao Liu tell lord?!”

Li Youde said, “Don’t worry about who told me. If you don’t want to take the medicine prescribed by the doctor, then next time, suffer it when your belly hurts again!”

Li Youde had asked a very skilled doctor with experience in gynecology to have a look at Chen Hui’s menstrual pain. However, Chen Hui didn’t feel pain during her period a few days ago, so, she didn’t take the medicine. That medicine is so bitter. Is it something that humans would drink?!

“It is really too bitter,” Chen Hui frowned, “It is so bitter that it reminded me of lying on the cold snowy ground. Living like being wrapped in a padded jacked trapped in the sun in the hot summer is so uncomfortable that it feels like being tied up and unable to scratch an itch…”

Li Youde frowned, “Your father is a wealthy businessman. Who is so brave to bully you like that? is your mother not your biological mother?”

“That is not it. I didn’t say that I have experienced that. It is just an example and felt that it is as uncomfortable,” Chen Hui said with an innocent face.

Li Youde who was worried and angered for nothing, glared at Chen Hui angrily.

At this time, a servant came in with a bowl of black thing and said respectfully, “Lord, the medicine is ready.”

Li Youde’s mood immediately improved after seeing Chen Hui stare at the bowl of medicine in disbelief. He signaled for the servant to put the medicine on the round table and said earnestly to Chen Hui, “Lady Chen, I let them boil the medicine once again according to the doctor’s instructions. The medicinal materials used are the best. Drink it while it’s hot.”

Chen Hui stood up abruptly and said, “I won’t drink it!”

As she spoke, she walked out. Li Youde sternly shouted behind her, “Stop her!”

Ah Da and Ah  Er stood in front of Chen Hui with a bitter faces, blocking her way.

Li Youde said slowly, “Bring her here.”

Ah Er said with a flattering smile, “Lady Chen…do you want to go back by yourself?”

Chen Hui said, “I won’t. I won’t drink it even if I die. You can drink it if you want!”

She was not afraid of these two. She swayed her body and went outside.

“Ah Da, Ah Er, if you let her run away, I will tear the two of you apart!” Li Youde said.

No matter how bitter Ah Da and Ah Er felt in their hearts, they had no choice but to bring Chen Hui back and they had to try their best to not hurt her while she struggled. They were badly burned about the head for a moment. They still successfully turned her back to Li Youde.

“You want to run away?” Li Youde smiled proudly.

Seeing him picking up the bowl of black medicine, Chen Hui immediately softened her attitude, “Lord, this medicine is really bad tasting. I suspect that the doctor prescribed the wrong medicine. There must be poison in this medicine.”

If an uninformed outsider happened to pass by and see this scene, they would truly misunderstand. Two servants were holding a woman dressed as a man and another person with a bowl of medicine was approaching her with a wicked smile on his face. If this was not forcing her to take poison, then it was forcing her to take medication to induce an abortion. Who would think that this was just a bowl of medicine to relieve menstrual pain?

“That is the best gynecologist in the capital except for the imperial physician. What foolish things are you saying,” Li Youde glared at her and put the medicine at her mouth. At the same time, he reminded, “If you waste this one, there is still more.”

Chen Hui saw that the hard nor the soft way worked, so, she had to do something else.

“Lord, tell them to let me go. I will drink it, alright?” Chen Hui said aggrieved, “My arms hurt so much from being grabbed by them. They are almost broken.”

Li Youde glared once at Ah Da and Ah Er, “How do you do things?”

The two had no place to redress their grievances. Lady Chen struggled non-stop. If they wanted to hold her steady, don’t they have to use some strength?

“Alright, let her go,” Li Youde said, “Lady Chen, don’t play any tricks.”

Chen Hui put on an obedient face, “Alright, lord.”

Ah Da and Ah Er let go of Chen Hui. She rubbed her arms, took over the bowl of medicine from Li Youde and put the bowl at her mouth under Li Youde’s watchful eyes that never looked away. At this moment, she removed the medicine again and said with a bitter expression, “It smells so bitter, lord. I’ll throw up after taking a sip.”

Li Youde thought for a moment and said, “Ah Da, go get some candied fruit.” He stared at Chen Hui and said, “Drink a gulp of medicine and eat a piece of candied, alright?”

Ah Da trotted away. Chen Hui didn’t stop him and said to Li Youde, “Candied fruit is not sweet enough. I want candy.”

Li Youde felt as if he was serving a little ancestor. The emphasis was on ‘little’. He had to coax so much for her to take medication.

“Ah Er, go get some candy. You can bring every kind,” Li Youde ordered Ah Er.

Ah Er also went to busy himself. Chen Hui waited until he left before saying, “That is also not sweet enough.”

Li Youde said, “What else do you want? Do you still refuse to take this medicine?” He straightened his expression, “So many things. I should let someone pour it down your throat!”

“I want lord to feed me,” Chen Hui said.

Li Youde was stunned.

Chen Hui handed the bowl to Li Youde and said persistently, “I want lord to feed me mouthfuls by mouthfuls, preferably mouth to mouth.”

“What…what are you messing around with?” Li Youde glared at her.

Chen Hui put the bowl of medicine on the round table. She ran to the door, closed and locked it. Then, she returned and looked at Li Youde with a smile, “No one will know….Lord, this medicine is really too bitter. If lord doesn’t believe me, have a taste.”

She raised her hand and slowly drew circles on Li Youde’s chest. She said with a soft voice, “The medicine is too bitter. Lord has to kiss me for me to drink it…”

Li Youde grabbed Chen Hui’s hand. He became a bit short-breathed. This is really taking his life. Where did she learn these tricks?!

“Lord, tell me quickly. Are you going to feed me or not?” Chen Hui said with a tone of sadness and expectations. Her hand was grabbed. She simply paste herself to him and raised her head to look at him.

Li Youde took a step back in a hurry. His heels hit the stool and he fell on it. Chen Hui was determined. She sat on his knee and broke her hand free. She picked up the bowl of medicine and put it to Li Youde’s mouth.

Li Youde swallowed. He finally opened his mouth as if he was bewitched. He took a gulp of the bitter medicine. As soon as the medicine entered his mouth, he felt the bitterness and stench. No wonder Lady Chen didn’t want to drink it.

Chen Hui put the bowl back on the table. She held Li Youde’s face and said with a slight dislike, “Lord, why haven’t you washed your face? I can’t even kiss you.”

Li Youde’s mouth was full of medicine. So, he could only glare at her, but it was not lethal at all. However, Chen Hui lowered her head at this moment and kissed him. She sucked the bitter medicine from his mouth into her mouth bit by bit. Finally, after finishing the medicine, she put her arms around his neck and continued to kiss him for a long time before letting go. She grinned and said with a hoarse voice, “Lord…so sweet.”
