Chapter 108: Crazy

After lunch, Li Youde was not in the mood to take Chen Hui around to play, and he didn't want to take the risk of seeing Wen Jing again. Maybe he misunderstood, maybe Hui Niang didn't make an appointment with Wen Jing, but he didn't want to ask the bottom of it just because he couldn't afford the price of the truth. If Hui Niang really didn't make an appointment with Wen Jing, or she would have successfully fulfilled his question, but what if she showed up and was leaving? Wouldn't it be that she put herself on the fire and roasted it? It would be better not to ask.

Therefore, Li Youde returned home with her on the grounds that she took Chen Hui to the study room.

Chen Hui has been coveting the study for a long time, but she had planned to avoid suspicion before, so she did not insist on seeing it. But now Li Youde takes her to see it, so she naturally has no reason to refuse. As a girl who is always eighteen years old, her vigorous curiosity is her beautiful quality!

There are always people guarding the study room, and after the last Li Sancai incident, the guarding of the study room was more strict, but they were all for outsiders. With Li Youlai, Chen Hui naturally took it easy.

The study room seems to be a yard renovated, and several rooms are connected together to form this not-small study room. Chen Hui-hyun's home also has a study room. In addition to some professional books from her parents, there are many must-read famous books. Later, there are more textbooks of her grades, and those can fill a bookshelves. Those who like books feel excited just by seeing the full bookshelf, and it has nothing to do with what the books on the bookshelf are.

When Chen Hui saw Li Youde pushing open the study door, what caught her eye was a large desk with a simple shape, facing the door, and behind the desk was a matching chair, and there was neatly placed on the table with pen, ink, paper and inkstone and other stationery. Chen Hui felt that her vision was not good enough, but those should be good things.

Li Youde walked into the room and turned to see Chen Hui standing outside the door carefully looking inside but not coming in. He couldn't help but smile and said, "What are you looking at?"

"It's so big here." Chen Hui responded and walked in.

Now, she saw the whole picture here. The door was opened in the middle of the room. At this moment, there were several rows of bookshelves on the left, and there were some large decorations on the right. The layout of this study was actually quite strange, but he had the final say on Li Youde's territory.

Li Youde said: "This is not big."

He glanced at a locked door in the inner place, quickly retracted his gaze, pointed to the rows of bookshelf and said, "Please take whatever you want to see."

After receiving Li Youde's promise, Chen Hui hurriedly walked towards the bookshelf and browsed it roughly. There are enlightenment books here, and some books with very strange and profound titles. Chen Hui occasionally took one out to read it, flipped a few pages, and put it back. After a while, she leaned against the bookshelf and looked back at Li Youde: "Father-in-law, why are you not here to pick two?"

Li Youde was standing there watching Chen Hui walk from here like a child, and was stunned when he heard this and walked over.

Chen Hui smiled and said, "Dadfather-in-law, there are no books like "The Golden Hairpin" here?"

Li Youde glared at her: "Let's read your book!"

Chen Hui came over with a smile: "Father-in-law, have you hid it and not let me see it?"

"I don't have such a book here!" Li Youde pushed Chen Hui away, "If you don't want to read it, go out, don't wander around here."

Chen Hui looked unhappy, but she didn't ask any more questions, but she secretly laughed in her heart for teasing Li Youde again.

Soon, Chen Hui found a book to pass the time, which was a collection of poems. Li Youde had no intention of finding a book to read. Seeing that Chen Hui had chosen it, he was about to speak when he saw Chen Hui coming over and holding his hand, quickly walked towards the Taishi chair, pressed him on the chair, and sat on his lap.

Li Youde: "..."

Chen Hui opened the collection of poems, put them in front of Li Youde, and chuckled softly: "Father-in-law, I don't know these words, please read them to me."

Li Youde sighed secretly in his heart, and his eyes fell on the page. Just recite it, but he couldn't refuse anyway.

Chen Hui sat sideways on Li Youde's lap, leaning against his chest, spreading the collection of poems in her hand, and turning pages of Li Youde's recitation, sometimes she would look at the words and listen to Li Youde's not very unique voice. Sometimes she closed her eyes and felt the vibration of her chest, and she seemed to be soaked in a hot spring, which was extremely comfortable.

Chen Hui felt that her requirements could not be too high. She did not have much demand for delicacies, but she could not lack food or meat. She didn't need to wear it. She didn't have to be too high-end. Anyway, she could design herself, and she made it beautiful and fashionable. In addition, she didn't have a big show when she went out and liked to be low-key. Gold and silver jewelry was just an external object for her. She would wear it if she had good looks. She wouldn't force it without her, and wouldn't rob someone else's. No matter how she calculated, she should be considered to have no ambition, right?

Now, her only ambition is used on Li Youde. Now it is meaningless to investigate "when did you fall in love with me" and "why did you fall in love with me" anymore. She just hopes to get the same emotional reward from him. She likes him, and he also likes her, simple and beautiful. On such a sunny afternoon, she and Li Youde were reading poems like literary and fresh, without anyone disturbing or talking about it. She felt a kind of ordinary happiness.

I hope I can spend every day like this in the future, and then live together until old age as she said to Li Youde.

Chen Hui knew that Li Youde was leaving after dinner, so she didn't let him read it anymore. She just hugged his waist and said coquettishly that she would lean on him to sleep for a while and call her when he was leaving.

Li Youde also allowed her to do so until the sky gradually darkened, he gently pushed Chen Hui to wake her up and asked her to go back to the chrysanthemum first, and later he went over to have dinner with her. Chen Hui was not a real little girl who was ignorant of the world. Knowing that he might have something to do, he went back with A Er's company.

Li Youde sat in the study for a while, and Xiao Liu was called over.

"During these days, when Miss Chen goes out, you are always with her?" Li Youde asked coldly as soon as he saw Xiaoliu. Can't he get angry at Chen Hui, or even show any clues, or can't he look at his servants?

"Yes..." Xiao Liu was shocked and suddenly remembered something, and hesitated a little. Miss Chen didn't let him say anything about Zi Yu...

Seeing that Xiaoliu's face was strange, Li Youde snorted coldly: "Xiaoliu, do you still remember who your master is?"

Xiao Liu quickly knelt down: "Dadfather, that day... that day was Miss Jiang and Miss Chen going out. Miss Chen said she was curious about what Miss Jiang was going to do, so she followed her secretly. Later, Miss Jiang entered the restaurant, Miss Chen and Xiao Zuo went with her. The little man and Xiao Wu were waiting outside."

Little slut...

Li Youde knew that he could not ask Xiao Hu. Once he asked, Hui Niang would definitely know until he finished asking Xiao Hu and took it away.

"You don't know who she went to meet?" Li Youde said.

Xiaoliu hurriedly said, "Miss Chen followed Miss Jiang. Later, Xiao Zuo came to call us, so we went to the private room to meet Miss Chen, but we didn't see anyone else."

Li Youde frowned and thought, but Huiniang was meeting someone under the banner of following Miss Jiang? Or was it also involved in it? Huiniang asked how to get rid of her family, could it be used as an exchange for Miss Jiang to conceal her?

"What else?" Li Youde continued to ask with some annoyance, "Has anyone sneaked in in the mansion recently?"

Xiaoliu hurriedly said: "Dadfather, since the incident happened last time, everyone in the mansion has been cheered up, and no one can sneak in anymore!"

What he said was that someone broke into the study and later took Chen Hui hostage, and was finally killed by Gu Tianhe.

Li Youde didn't ask any further. After a thorough investigation, he would definitely find out a result, but the consequences were not something he could control. He was eager to know the truth, but he was afraid to know the truth. In fact, after asking this, he was already a little back. He could not ask any further.

"Okay, it's still the same as before in the future. After leaving the mansion, you are not allowed to leave Miss Chen. Have you heard that?" Li Youde said sternly.

Xiao Liu nodded quickly and said, "The villain is in mind!"

Li Youde seemed a little tired and waved his hand to signal Xiaoliu to go out. There was a person who was in his heart, afraid of melting when he held it in his mouth, and afraid of falling when he held it in his hand, which was really helpless. But with such a person who thought of her smile when he was sad and irritable, her gentle and considerate heart could surge in endless power, and the problems he encountered seemed nothing.

He sighed, maybe he would lose to Wang Youcai one day sooner or later.

Not long after, Li Youde returned to the chrysanthemum courtyard and had dinner with Chen Hui, and then hurried back to the palace. Chen Hui sent Li Youde away from the Li Mansion. When he returned to his house, he suddenly felt a little lonely and unable to sleep.

"It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!" Chen Hui suddenly sighed.

Xiao Zuo said curiously: "Girl, what does this mean?"

Chen Hui said: "That is to say, it will be easy for you to eat white steamed buns and let you eat meat buns. But if you eat meat buns every day, one day you suddenly tell you that there are no meat buns and only white steamed buns, isn't it difficult to accept?"

Xiao Zai nodded vigorously: "Miss is right!" She has eaten a lot of good things with Chen Hui now, and she is no longer the pitiful person who can satisfy her steamed bun.

Chen Hui sighed: "It feels so comfortable to hold someone when he is sleeping at night, but it's gone again..."

Xiao Hu's face turned red when he heard this and did not dare to answer.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is closer to the New Year's Eve, which is once a year. During this period, Li Youde returned once, but did not stay overnight. He just asked the butler to listen to Chen Hui's. Whatever needs to be purchased and arranged is decided by Chen Hui. Chen Hui felt that she was bored and brave enough to accept the challenge. When the butler reported what came out, she discussed with the butler, focusing on learning.

As for Jiang Bihan's side, Chen Hui had already told Xiaoliu and the others not to pay attention to Yizhuxuan. She didn't expect that one day when Xiaoliu paid attention to Ziyu, she suddenly discovered Jiang Bihan's lover.

On the day of Xiaonian, the palace was given a banquet, but because Li Youde sent someone to say that he would come back later, Chen Hui naturally planned to wait for him.

It was only afternoon, and Chen Hui suddenly looked at Xiao Xiang and said, "Is my clothes too simple?"

Xiao Hu was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Hui's clothes and said with a smile: "Miss looks good in everything she wears."

"Xiao Hu, you are becoming more and more dishonest. Why did you learn from Xiao Liu?" Chen Hui said, but she had already made an idea. She designed some clothes for the Li family's cloth shop, and she wanted to pick one to wear. It took her several days to meet her and Li, so of course she had to wear beautiful clothes, so that he could take a few more glances at her.

Chen Hui took Xiaoliu and others out as usual. Just as she was about to enter the cloth shop, she met someone head-on. She was stunned and shouted: "Miss Zheng?"

The person who came was Zheng Yong's daughter Zheng Rongrong.

Zheng Rongrong seemed to have not expected to meet Chen Hui face to face, and she took a step back in shock.

Chen Hui was a little happy to see Zheng Rongrong here. Being able to come here means that Zheng Rongrong came to find her specifically, right?

The shopkeeper inside noticed the situation at the door and smiled and said, "Miss Chen, you are here just in time. Miss Zheng has sent you a letter."

"Letter?" Chen Hui was a little surprised. She was really a coincidence. She happened to meet Zheng Rongrong when she was sending the letter. What would she say in the letter?

"Miss Zheng, please." Chen Hui turned her head slightly and gave way. Since she was just sending letters instead of waiting for her, she probably wasn't willing to talk to her face to face, so she shouldn't force herself.

But Zheng Rongrong did not mean to leave immediately.

She looked at Chen Hui for a while, as if he was hesitating about something, and finally said, "Miss Chen, do you have time to tell me?"

Chen Hui thought about the time when Li Youde came back, probably wouldn't get up early, so she smiled and said, "I'm very empty, so..." She looked at the Li family cloth shop, and there were many customers today, so she had to say, "Let's go across from here."

Not far from Li's Clothing House is an unknown restaurant, and there are not many people at this time.

Zheng Rongrong nodded, turned around and took her letter and put it in. She probably won’t plan to send Chen Hui this letter after she can have an interview.

Chen Hui also ordered Xiaowu and Xiaoliu: "You are waiting here, and I will come when I go with Miss Zheng. The store is busy, so you can help me. Xiaojia, let's go."

Chen Hui and Zheng Rongrong walked towards the opposite side with their respective maids. Xiao Liu remembered Li Youde's words, but was afraid that Chen Hui would refuse, so he had to say hello to Xiao Wu and sneak over. He just stayed outside, and he had not left Miss Chen anymore...

Chen Hui asked the private room, asked the waiter to have a pot of good tea, and then made some snacks. The two of them sat down and looked at each other speechlessly.

It was Chen Hui who said first: "Xiao Hu, when you two go out, I'll talk to Miss Zheng alone."

Zheng Rongrong was stunned and looked up and signaled her maid, and both of them walked out.

There was another silence in the private room. The hot steam of the tea simmered upwards, and a curtain composed of water vapor was weaved in the two of them.

After a while, Zheng Rongrong forced a smile and said, "Miss Chen, after that... I have not officially thanked you."

"It's okay, I understand." Chen Hui said with a smile.

Zheng Rongrong lowered her head and said, "My father locked me up some time ago, and he...he has always been worried about Eunuch Li's narrow gratitude."

Chen Hui nodded in understanding. If she was Zheng Yong, she would be afraid that Li Youde would threaten her with such a family scandal. Fortunately, Li Youde did not do that. It doesn't matter whether it was disdain or any other considerations. She just wanted to be proud at this moment... although the beginning of this mess was also unrelated to him.

Seeing that Chen Hui didn't mean to blame him much, Zheng Rongrong continued: "Miss Chen, actually, my cousin has always thought about being like you since Tanmen Temple, just like the past, but she can't help but feel embarrassed."

Chen Hui also has the desire and need to make friends. In the past, they were unhappy to make friends with her, so she naturally had to give up. But now Zheng Rongrong has proposed it on her own initiative, why don’t she do it? What’s more, being good to them may not be of no use to Li Youde.

Chen Hui smiled and said, "Then come and find me. Anyway, I have nothing to do every day, I am very empty."

"If it's convenient for you... In the future, my cousin Xi and I will ask you out as usual." Zheng Rongrong said.

"It's very convenient. When it's inconvenient, I will tell you." Chen Hui smiled. Zheng Rongrong was probably afraid that she would be controlled by Li Youde. As long as Li Youde is in the mansion, she will naturally not be able to come out. It's rare to spend time with him. At the other time, she can be at any time.

Zheng Rongrong nodded, and finally smiled.
