Chapter 29 Confrontation

After all, Qingshu had dealt with Chen Hui before. At that time, she thought that Miss Chen was very strange and didn't seem to like to play with common sense in her work. Now she was sure that Miss Chen was indeed as she thought, making it difficult for others to keep up with her pace of doing things.

Qingshu just pretended that she had not heard Chen Hui's words from Mao, and just said to her sincerely: "Miss Chen, Miss Jiang just wanted to meet you, and she had no malice. Please give me a look."

Chen Hui thought about it and agreed. In fact, she was still a little curious about the relationship between Li Youde and Miss Jiang, but she didn't know if she could ask about it from Miss Jiang. I heard from Xiao Hu that a servant was beaten to death when he mentioned the matter of Jiafangsi. If she ran to Miss Jiang and asked, Li Youde knew about it later, she might be beaten to death, and she would be beaten a few more times if she had left half a day to fight...

Chen Hui followed Qingshu's guidance to the yard. Qingshu said as she walked, "The cat ran over by himself. I don't know how it found it, but she actually ran to Miss Jiang's house. Fortunately, it was quite well-behaved and Miss Jiang was not frightened."

Chen Hui said: "This cat probably has become a spirit. She specializes in picking beautiful girls and get in front of them."

Qingshu was stunned. Why did she hear Miss Chen saying this as if she was praising her girl? It was not right... But no matter how she heard it, she didn't think it was anything else.

When Qingshu was confused, the group had already arrived outside the main house.

Qingshu said: "Xiaowu, please wait outside for a while."

After all, it was Miss Jiang’s boudoir, so it was not appropriate to let the man go in.

Xiaowu didn't mind either. It should be said that Chen Hui was so grateful that he didn't let him face Miss Jiang and the cat alone, so he had no complaints at this moment and was happily staying outside.

Chen Hui followed him in. There were various elegant decorations in the room, which looked much more elegant than the chrysanthemum courtyard. She suddenly realized that as for the chrysanthemum courtyard, Li Youde did not like luxurious things very much, and the main house looked quite ordinary.

Miss Jiang was sitting there, Li Sancai was scared away by a mouse on her knees. The cat did not feel any shame because of her incompetence, but instead snored comfortably under Miss Jiang's hands.

Hearing the movement, Jiang Bihan raised his head and nodded slightly to Chen Hui: "Miss Chen, sit here."

Chen Hui smiled and said, "Thank you."

She sat openly on the other side of the round table without showing any anxiety. Instead, she stared at the cat lying on Jiang Bihan's knee, thinking that this food that was ripped out was useless.

Jiang Bihan finally took his attention back from the cat and looked at Chen Hui and said, "Today, I take the liberty to ask Miss Chen to come in and talk, I hope Miss Chen will forgive me."

"It's okay, I'm idle anyway." Chen Hui said with a smile, "This cat looks quite close to Miss Jiang."

Jiang Bihan smiled slightly: "Maybe we are destined to be."

Chen Hui nodded: "Fate is really wonderful. For example, it is really rare for me and Miss Jiang, who might have been out of touch with each other, actually met in this small world."

Jiang Bihan looked at Chen Hui in a little surprised, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "What happened last time... Miss Chen doesn't blame me anymore?"

Chen Hui smiled and said, "It's all over, why bother mentioning it?" She bent her eyebrows and eyes, "Can I blame Miss Jiang if I say I still blame Miss Jiang, can Miss Jiang still kneel down for an afternoon to pay me back?"

Jiang Bihan's face suddenly turned pale.

Chen Hui seemed to smile unconsciously and said, "I'm just telling a joke. Miss Jiang doesn't have to take it seriously. Miss Jiang, it seems that you like this cat very much?"

Jiang Bihan was slightly stunned and said reluctantly: "It really fits my eyes."

"I didn't mind giving it to Miss Jiang," Chen Hui said, "but this was given to me by my father-in-law..."

Jiang Bihan was stroking Maoer's hand and froze slightly. He raised his eyes and looked at Chen Hui and said, "Since my father-in-law gave it to Miss Chen, then Bihan naturally couldn't take away his love."

Chen Hui held his chin and looked at Jiang Bihan with no formality: "It's hard to say who is snatching love from this... If Miss Jiang goes to tell her father-in-law that she wants it, she will give it to Miss Jiang without saying a word?"

Miss Jiang suddenly turned her head and looked at Chen Hui, with a hint of panic in her surprise: "I...I didn't say that..."

Chen Hui smiled and said, "Miss Jiang, there is something I always think is strange." She glanced at Qingshu not far away, suddenly leaned into Jiang Bihan's ear, and whispered, "Miss Jiang should not like me to 'occupy' Eunuch Li, right? But why didn't Miss Jiang take one more step? I heard that Miss Jiang has always been rude to Eunuch Li, but people like him are very kind to Miss Jiang... If Miss Jiang is willing to go further and please Eunuch Li's joy, I believe Eunuch Li will definitely ask Miss Jiang for it?"

Jiang Bihan's face turned pale and suddenly stared at Chen Hui, his face full of humiliation.

Chen Hui chuckled again and said, "Could it be... Miss Jiang is afraid of some of Eunuch Li's methods? You shouldn't have seen the box of jade in the father-in-law's house, right?"

Jiang Bihan was both ashamed and angry, glaring at Chen Hui, unable to say a complete sentence.

Qingshu hurriedly walked up and said, "Miss Jiang, are you okay?" She glanced at Chen Hui again, with the condemnation in her eyes being particularly clear.

Chen Hui smiled and said, "I'm just a few whispers to Miss Jiang, you can still care about this?"

Jiang Bihan calmed down, signaled Qingshu to retreat, and looked at Chen Hui with a compulsive look.

Chen Hui said: "Miss Jiang is scared?"

Jiang Bihan bit his lower lip without saying a word.

Chen Hui came over again and looked at Jiang Bihan and said softly: "Miss Jiang, in fact, that thing is not as terrible as you think... It will pass as soon as you close your eyes, and maybe you can feel the smell."

Chen Hui said and despised herself. What she said was not serious at all, and it was not the same as hers.

"You..." Jiang Bihan finally spoke out. She looked at Chen Hui with trembling breath, her face flushed, "What do you know!"

Chen Hui stared at Jiang Bihan for a long time, and suddenly said in a daze: "Maybe...Miss Jiang, you are too..." She lowered her voice again and said, "Could you also be forced to bring it to you by Eunuch Li?"

Jiang Bihan was silent and just looked at Chen Hui, neither admitting nor denying it. In her eyes, pain and despair were intertwined and could not be eliminated.

Chen Hui didn't say anything again.

Her original idea was to anger Jiang Bihan and ask her to find a way to find Li Youde, drive her, the annoying person out of the chrysanthemum courtyard and return to her plum courtyard. However, seeing such Jiang Bihan, she couldn't say the vicious words she hadn't said yet.

Chen Hui is now sure that Jiang Bihan has no relationship with Li Youde. She remembered that Jiang Bihan was brought from Jiaofangsi, and now she has been in nameless for two years. Either there is something that she doesn't know about Jiaofangsi, or the eunuch Li Youde cannot make any promises. She remembers that she seemed to have seen that some eunuchs in dynasties were stipulated by the law to not marry, and maybe the same is true here. Li Youde cannot give his political enemies any reason to defeat him. Therefore, neither Miss Jiang nor her could only stay in his backyard without name.

Jiang Bihan had been extorted and tentative in the past, and Chen Huicai could understand that Jiang Bihan clearly did not love Li Youde, but for the sake of his stability, he had to guard against her possible enemy. If he was a gentleman, he could trust the other party's promise, but Li Youde was a eunuch or a real villain. Perhaps because of this, Jiang Bihan was afraid that he would face a very miserable ending after he fell out of favor, right?

Chen Hui was a little annoyed. Is it really good for her to plot against Jiang Bihan like this? Jiang Bihan looked completely different from her. She was a time traveler from the modern era. It didn't matter if she hugged Li Youde for a moment, but looking at Jiang Bihan's appearance, she felt that Jiang Bihan would suffocate if he asked Jiang Bihan to take the initiative to approach Li Youde.

In fact, Jiang Bihan overestimated her. Li Youde is a little different to her at the moment, but that's all. He mocked her a lot, and he didn't feel any pity at all. No one cares about this kind of difference. She would rather change her position with Jiang Bihan and let Li Youde treat her like a fairy daughter. That's so refreshing. Speaking of which, she was still not lucky and had worn the wrong person.

After hesitation in his heart, Chen Hui's high interest was also defeated.

"Hui Niang is just a daughter of a merchant, so she naturally doesn't know anything." Chen Hui smiled, "I knew that it was very comfortable to have food and drink now, and I wanted to live a better life... Miss Jiang, I've been out for a long time and it's time to leave. Look, should I return the cat to me?"

She said this. As for what Miss Jiang wants to do later, it is not something she can control.

Jiang Bihan closed her eyes and forced a smile, "Miss Chen, Eunuch Li...he is..." She couldn't continue and did not force herself anymore, but handed the three cat cats in her hand.

The cat suddenly struggled before falling into Chen Hui's hands, scratched Jiang Bihan's back of his hand, and fled out.

Jiang Bihan covered her hands and frowned slightly. Chen Hui quickly leaned over and checked the back of her hand despite Jiang Bihan's obstruction. Seeing that a white mark was only captured, it did not bleed through the skin, so she felt relieved. There was no vaccine in this era. If it was scratched through and bleed through the blood, she could only burn incense and worship Buddha and beg God that cat did not carry the rabies virus.

Jiang Bihan looked at Chen Hui with a strange look. After a while, he took back his hand and said quietly: "Don't worry, Miss Chen, I accidentally caused this injury. I won't blame Miss Chen on the head."

Chen Hui smiled and didn't explain anything. Just misunderstand it. It's better than her serious explanation of virus vaccines and other things being regarded as crazy.

"Then I'll catch the cat, Miss Jiang, see you back." Chen Hui said goodbye to Jiang Bihan and hurriedly left with Xiao Hu.

Xiaowu was not at the door. Chen Hui and Xiao Hu walked a few steps before they found that he was holding Li Sancai and staring at Chen Hui with a silly smile.

Chen Hui said, "Let's go back. Also, where did this cat come from and send it back? If you can only catch mice, you will be afraid of mice and you will be so virtuous. Is it true?"

Xiao Wu should be timid.

Xiao Wu moved quite flawlessly, and soon changed to another cat. This time it was a yellow tabby cat with a fierce look. Before putting it down, the doors and windows in the yard were closed, but it was found that it was a waste of time. The tabby cat didn't think about leaving, rushed into the room and jumped around, and soon caught a big mouse. Chen Hui ran away from afar and peeked. Seeing the tabby cat so bravely, she wanted to applaud it. As a result, the tabby cat ate the mouse a few bites, jumped up and down for a long time, and actually caught another mouse.

Chen Hui was so excited. This was the good cat in her mind! Like Li Sancai's cat, who was afraid of mice, what kind of cat is! She really wanted to keep this tabby cat to prevent mice, but the cat looked too fierce. When she ran over, she looked like a tiger. She was so scared that she could catch the mice every once in a while.

When the tabby cat got out of the way, the afternoon passed. Seeing that the sky gradually darkened, Chen Hui's heart was covered with a layer of darkness. This gloomy mood made Chen Hui feel a little unable to eat during dinner.

Is Jiang Bihan not going to do anything? Or is she going to do it until the evening when Li Youde comes back?

Just when Chen Hui was so nervous, Ada, who followed Li Youde to the duty today, came back and retelled Li Youde's words to Chen Hui: "Miss Chen, my father-in-law said he would come back later and let you go to bed first."

Just as Chen Hui was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Ada continued: "He also said that he would see you when he came back."

"...I understand." Chen Hui replied depressedly. She thought she could avoid this time. Although it was a treatment of symptoms but not the root cause, at least she would give her some time to think about how to deal with it.

It was getting darker and candles were lit in the house. After Chen Hui washed up in her house, she went into the main house in neatly and did not go to the inner room, but sat at the round table.

At first, she was a little uneasy and thought about how to reject Li Youde's "improper request". As time passed, Li Youde had not come back yet, and the tension gradually disappeared. She leaned against the table and fell asleep slowly.

"How do you sleep here?" a voice said.

Chen Hui was shocked and found a familiar figure standing in front of her. Just as she was about to speak, she saw a jade stance in his hand. She was so scared that she immediately hid behind the round table and said repeatedly: "Dadfather-in-law, if you have something to say, don't do it!" She paused, "It's not good to move jade stance!"

Li Youde's smile on his face was extremely evil. He swung the thing in his hand and approached Chen Hui step by step, laughing and said with a sharp smile: "Chen Hui, isn't this what you dream of? What to hide? Come, come here. I'll make you feel comfortable."

"No, no need. I don't need it, thank you. Please use it for others!"

Chen Hui ran around the round table in panic. Unexpectedly, she tripped something on her feet. She fell to the ground with a bang. Before she could get up, Li Youde suppressed her from behind, and she screamed immediately...

"Hui Niang?"

As soon as Chen Hui opened her eyes, she saw the enlarged face in front of her, which scared her to slap her.

With a "bang", the world was pure.

The emotions in front of him gradually turned from a moment of confusion to anger. He was so angry that his eyes seemed to be about to spit out of fire. Even the emperor had never hit him like this! Chen Huiniang, Chen Huiniang! It was so good!

"List……"

Before Li Youde's reproach was scolded, Chen Hui, who had previously mistaken the dream and reality, had already realized the disaster he had caused. He rushed over and hugged Li Youde, and choked and said, "Brother-in-law, you are finally back, and Hui Niang is scared to death! My father-in-law always doesn't come back. Hui Niang was very worried. After falling asleep, she dreamed that a bad person told Hui Niang that her father-in-law would not come back. Hui Niang was angry and slapped him in the face."

At this time, Chen Hui actually wanted to slap herself. Why couldn't she hold on to go to bed? Why did she have that strange dream? Now, she obviously wanted to leave the chrysanthemum courtyard, and suddenly she was so attached to Li Youde? But she didn't dare not do this! Just now, she clearly saw the murderous intent in Li Youde's eyes. She was afraid that she would be killed immediately if she didn't do this!
