His Rui

Chapter 523 Who Won In The End!

When An Ju was on her way to take Xi Ling to some safe place, she had met An San on her way.

"I will take the Young Master away from here. You go back to the Manor. I will also come there soon."

An Ju was hesitant to believe An San but she had no other choice because she was too worried for Li Rui.

At the same time, she had thought that An San would not harm Xi Ling ever.

Even last time, it was he only who had thrown that physician out of Xi Manor who had tried to harm Xi Ling.

So An Ju had left Xi Ling with An San and then had come back to protect Li Rui.

However, when had she expected that Xi Ling would be left back to the garden by An San.

Only now did she understood that she should never have trusted An San.

"Don\'t even move."

Just when she was thinking of taking Xi Ling away, she heard Xu Li\'s cold voice.

"There you fly and here your mistress will lose her life."

Xu Li said coldly.

An Ju had to put a full stop on her thoughts immediately when she got to know this.

"Child, come here."

Xu Li said to Xi Ling coldly who was emotionlessly looking at Xu Li seeing his mother in his arms.

Instead of accepting Xu Li\'s order, Xi Ling said calmly but coldly…in a kind of voice that startled everyone inside the garden.

"Leave Xi Ling\'s mother."

Xu Li raised his eyebrows and said again.

"Come here and I will leave your mother."

However, as soon as he finished his words, Li Rui shook her head firmly and said

"No, Xiao Ling. Don\'t listen to him. Run away from here."

However, how could Xi Ling leave his mother alone?

With a calm and fearless face, he started walking toward Xu Li.

Hiding in the shadows, An San silently watched this scene.

His eyes flashed with anxiousness when he noticed that Xu Li really left Li Rui and now held Xi Ling under the sword.

That was not what he wanted.

He wanted Xu Li to have some weakness of Li Rui so that he would be able to control Li Rui and easily kill her.

However, things didn\'t seem to work out in the manner he had thought.

An San didn\'t know that now Xu Li didn\'t want Li Rui\'s life. Before taking Li Rui\'s life, he wanted to know how she got that powder.

"Now, Madam Xi…"

Xu Li smiled coldly as his eyes went to look at his companion shadow guards who were scratching their skin continuously.

"If you love your son then give me the antidote of the powder your people have thrown at my shadow guards."

Li Rui\'s eyes again were filled with fear as she looked at the way Xu Li held Xi Ling under the sword.

She gulped as she told Xu Li without hesitation.

"There is no antidote."

Xu Li frowned because he had heard the same response once when he had asked the same question to him.

However, that person had also told him that this powder could only be found with him and no one else. Then how did Li Rui have it and …how did she know that the powder had no antidote!

"Where did you get this powder from?"

This time, Li Rui took a few moments to answer this question. It was obvious that she didn\'t wish to tell but looking at her son she didn\'t have any choice but say

"I made it."

And Xu Li\'s eyes narrowed instantly.

"Don\'t lie to me."

"I am saying the truth."

Li Rui said instantly. She was scared that Xu Li would really harm Xi Ling if she didn\'t make him believe her.

"This is not the only powder I have made. I have made many. You can see a different kinds of things on that table."

Li Rui said as she sighed Xu Li looked towards the table.

Her words made Xu Li walk to the table immediately with Xi Ling.

One by one he picked each packet and his face had a somber expression when he picked the last packet.

Looking back at Li Rui, he had a pair confusion filled eyes as he said

"How could this be possible! Only he had these things…"

His eyes carefully roamed on Li Ri\'s eyes and they suddenly flashed with realization.

Could it be that the person who he was looking for was actually …

"Ah…"

Xu Li\'s thoughts halted when he felt something heavy hitting the back of his head.

The sword in his hands fell down to the floor and Xi Ling also landed on the ground. A moment later, Xu Li was lying on the ground while the three shadow guards who were helplessly scratching their bodies could only see this and shout for their masters.

"Master…"

An Ju smirked coldly at those shadow guards as she bent down and hurriedly started to tie Xu Li\'s hands with a cloth.

"Don\'t you dare harm our master."

An Ju raised her eyebrows in surprise mockingly hearing the threatening voice of the shadow guards.

She kicked Xu Li\'s face with her leg lightly as she stood up after tying his hand firmly.

This infuriated the three shadow guards more. However, they could do nothing but lay on the ground and scratch their bodies.

The itching powder was that powerful.

An Ju felt very joyous seeing their helpless state and said coldly.

"Don\'t worry. I won\'t do anything to your master. It will be my master who will do everything to your master."

Saying this, she bent down and started to drag Xu Li out of the garden.

While Li Hua and the old physician decided to do the same with the remaining three shadow guards.

The small bun on the other hand looked at his mother.

"Mother…"

He ran towards Li Rui and asked her how she was feeling.

However, instead of answering Xi Ling\'s question, Li Rui turned her head away and left the garden followed by the worried small bun.
