His Rui

Li Rui called out when she saw her mother\'s tears. There were not many instances when she had seen her mother crying. Her father loved her mother too much and can\'t see her tears.

Leaving Xi Ying\'s hand instantly, she wiped her mother\'s tears while Xi Ying sighed feeling a little upset at the loss of the soft touch.

General Li felt upset hearing his wangfei\'s choked voice and hurriedly hold her.

"Yi Jie, what happened? Why are you crying? And why are you asking Rui to forgive you?"

Her husband\'s question made Yi Jei cry even harder. But she knew that she doesn\'t have the right to cry when she was wrong.

Looking up at his worried face as he wiped her tears, she said sobbing.

"Heng, I …also blamed …Rui when you and Li Diu went missing. I thought… I didn\'t stop Li Caihong when she slapped Rui. I didn\'t help my own daughter."

After Yi Jei finished her words, she turned to Li Rui.

"Rui, Mother also knows that she was wrong. Don\'t keep it in your heart, okay? Tell mother what she should do to have your forgiveness."

Yi Jei was worried that Li Rui would keep in her heart. She had done the same since her childhood. After the Imperial Palace\'s incident, she had never heard Li Rui complaining to her about anything.

"Mother, calm down first, okay?"

Standing behind his wangfei, General Li now understood what Xi Ying meant to say when he had said those things about his Wangfei.

Though General Li was upset after hearing that Yi Jei also put all the blame on Li Rui, he can\'t see his wangfei like this.

As Li Rui wiped her mother\'s tears while saying comforting words, he held her to show his support.

He glanced at the young Minister who was looking at his daughter and then moved his gaze away.

Just how does Xi Ying know so much? General Li knew his daughter.

Knowing her nature she would never complain to anyone no matter how much she had suffered.

So how did Xi Ying know everything that happened in his absence?

And the biggest question was how did he suddenly change so much? He could see that he really loved his daughter.

He could see it from his eyes but this sudden love was a little doubtful.

Did the intelligent Prime Minister know that his sudden show of feelings would only increase the doubt in Rui\'s heart towards him?

His trance was broken when he heard Rui saying something to Yi Jie.

"Mother doesn\'t need to apologize for anything. Rui had done so many mistakes in her childhood and Mother sued to forgive her so easily. So mother doesn\'t need to think about it anymore."

Yi Jie had now stopped crying. She nodded her head after hearing her daughter\'s words and hugged her daughter.

After that, she looked at Xi Ying and said

"Minister Xi, This one is happy to see that you support my daughter so much."

Xi Ying was neither too respectful nor too disrespectful towards Yi Jei as he said

"Of Course I will. Rui is my Wangfei."

"We already know this."

Xi Ying faintly glanced at the General and said arrogantly

"That\'s good to hear."

General Li scoffed at the young minister\'s arrogance. He doesn\'t know how many times he had said this in front of him.

It seems that he loves to tell everyone that Rui was his wangfei.

The conversation was interrupted when a sweet and soft voice fell in everyone\'s ears.

Li Rui felt her sleeve being pulled by someone and looked down.

"Mother, Xi Ling is tired after standing for so long."

Only then Li Rui realized that Xi Ling had been standing behind her all the while. Since Xi Ying was still recovering from the effect of the left poison inside his body, his body was weak. Also, he was still three years old.

She blamed herself for ignoring this.

"Is it Xiao Ling?"

Yi Jie asked with a smile.

Hearing her mother\'s question, Li Rui nodded her head and picked Xi Ling from the ground.

"Give him to me. He is heavy."

Xi Ying said when he saw her picking Xi Ling up.

"Who says this about your children?"

Li Rui frowned and said to Xi Ying with a displeased face.

Xi Ying was startled to see this. It was the first time she had showed her displeasure in front of him at something that too so normally.

\'If only she can behave so normally with him without any restraint forever. \'

"And Xiao Ling is not heavy. He is thin."

He heard her continue and immediately nodded his head.

His heart was jumping wildly in joy as he said

"Of course, I said wrong words. You\'re right. But for now, give him to me, Xi Ling wants to come to Father, right?"

He asked Xi Ling.

However, he had not expected his son to betray him so mercilessly.

"No, Father. Xiao Ling wants Mother. Mother smells so sweet."

Xi Ying\'s face went black when he heard General Li\'s laughter.

Not only General Li but everyone was trying to retrain their laughter seeing this scene.

"Let\'s go inside. I will ask maids to serve something. Xiao Ling must be hungry."

Yi Jei said.

Her whole attention was on Xi Ling in her daughter\'s arms.

Everyone stepped forward and went to the dining room.

Xi Ying and General Li walked behind them.

"Well, General Li, This lord hopes that you have seen enough to know that Rui is no longer alone. There are still people in your clan who have tried to harm her. This Lord has just started yet."

General Li chuckled.

It was a threat.

He stopped and looked at Xi Ying seriously.

"Of course, This General saw everything, Minister Xi. However, I don\'t know whether you saw how Rui didn\'t even hesitate to leave you when she saw her mother\'s tears."

Seeing Xi Ying\'s cold face, General Li didn\'t feel afraid and continued

"For Rui, her family comes first, before anything, even before you."

"So it\'s not this General who should feel threatened, instead it is Lord Xi who should feel that."

Saying this, General Li walked inside leaving Xi Ying standing there alone.
