Chapter 262 - Lord Xi Is Moved By Li Rong’s Worry For His Wife



"…isn\'t it unfair to your dear husband, my dear wife?"

Li Rui\'s eyes flickered with surprise as she had never expected him to make such a pitiful face. And the worst thing was she really found him pitiful…just like Xi Ling.

She moved her eyes away when she heard Li Qiang asking with a confused face.

"Li Rong and Li Na went to Xii Manor… Is it true, Rong\'er?"

Li Qiang turned to look at his wife and daughter. Li Rong and Li Na had pale faces.

Li Na smiled tightly and answered her father\'s question.

"Father, Mother and I just wanted to see Elder Sister. During the banquet, Mother has said many things to Elder Sister so she was worried that Elder Sister would take them to her heart so I took Mother to visit and apologize to Elder Sister."

Yi Jie\'s eyes held anger when she heard Li Na\'s words. She never knew that Li Rong scolded Li Rui.

\'First Li Caihong said so many things about her daughter and then her daughter was also being scolded without even being at fault.\' Yi Jie suddenly felt that her daughter was truly very pitiful and looked at Li Rong with annoyance-filled eyes.

On the other hand, Xi Ying\'s smile became more mocking and his eyes colder as he heard Li Na\'s lies.

Li Qiang was still frowning but he couldn\'t even scold his wife after his daughter said these words.

But how could Xi Ying let this happen? The sole purpose of his visit today was to uncover all the lies.

So he started.

"Minister Li"

Xi Ying called out and Li Qiang looked at coldly wondering inside his heart how shameless Xi Ying was to still stay in Li Manor even after he was being asked to get out. Xi Ying, of course, could read his thoughts but still continued what he was going to say

"This Lord is really moved by your wife and daughter\'s worry towards this Lord\'s wife." Xi Ying said

Although his words seemed to be praising Li Rong and Li Na, the cold and mocking smile on his lips seemed to be contradicting this scene.

General Li and Yi Jie who were still standing in the front hall could also feel that something was amiss.

And everyone\'s confusion cleared when Xi Ying said his next words.

"First Madam Li met this Lord\'s wife and concluded that she feels very lonely inside this Lord\'s manor. First Madam Li and Second Young Miss Li were so worried about this Lord\'s wife that First Madam Li proposed this Lord to take Second Young Miss Li to take as his concubine …so that Rui won\'t feel lonely in the future in Xi Manor."

Xi Ying finished with a cold smile on his lips and saw Li Rong and Li Na\'s faces becoming paler.

Li Qiang had a shocked face while Yi Jie and General Li didn\'t have any different faces from Li Qiang.

All three of them looked at Li Rong and Li Na with questioning eyes as if asking whatever Xi Ying was saying was true or not.

Li Rong was too scared to say anything and Li Na was still very angry as she remembered whatever happened in Xi Manor. She could not help but think that it must be Li Rui who had asked Prime Minister Xi to come to Li Manor and say these words.

From the corner of her eyes, she glared at Li Rui fiercely.

Getting no answer from the mother and daughter pair, Yi Jie didn\'t feel discouraged. Instead, she walked towards her daughter and asked Li Rui

"Rui, tell me … what Lord Xi said is true?"

Li Rui had not expected things to come out like this. As she looked at the pleading in the eyes of her first Aunt, her heart remained unmoved. Four years ago, she had not remained silent for the sake of relations between the first household and second household. Instead, she had been silent because she didn\'t want her father to break away from his relations with her first uncle.

It is harder to break a bundle of sticks. Li Rui had learned in her childhood.

As long as her father had the support of the whole Li Clan, it would be more difficult to break Li Clan and snatch its powers. But if the three households of Li Clan didn\'t remain together then she could imagine what would happen.

Every clan has its own secrets and after living together for so many years, everyone knew each other secrets. She doesn\'t want anyone those secrets to come out because they would only help in reducing the power of the Li Clan.

Just to keep her whole clan together, she had let that incident pass but could she do the same today?

Although she didn\'t have any hopes left for her marriage, it was still very vicious and shameful for Li Na to think of marrying into the same man her sister which meant she was already married to.

Her heart which had already become colder towards Li Na and Li Caihong now could not become any colder.

Hence, with a stoic and indifferent face, Li Rui moved her eyes away from Li Rong\'s pleading eyes and nodded her head.

"Yes, Mother whatever Lord said is true."

Yi Jie staggered a step back and turned to look at Li Rong with accusation-filled eyes.

Li Rong avoided her eyes.

Li Na on the other hand was still glaring at Li Rui who looked into her eyes calmly.

It would be a warning for Li Na to not trifle with her again in the future.

Li Rui had thought that this matter would end with his first uncle scolding her first aunt and Li Na. Little did she know it was just the beginning.

The good days for Li Na and Li Caihong were only a guest for a few days when Xi Ying had come to know whatever this pair of sisters had done to harm Li Rui.
