Although Li Na said so, no one in the front hall really believed her because she had looked so furious and so vicious. It made everyone believe that she had these thoughts inside her heart for a very long time.

Even Li Chen knew that that was the true face of his so called sister. After all, he had seen and heard them saying so many other things like this about Li Rui.

Yi Jie and General Li were left shocked by Li Na's words. They stood silent as they saw Li Na walking to stand in front of Li Rui.

She kneeled down on the cold floor and bowed her head.

Li Rui's face was still calm while Xi Ying looked at Li Na's lowered head with his cold and indifferent eyes.

"Elder Sister, I said wrong words. Please forg.."

Li Na let out the words with gritted teeth. However before she could continue to apologize Xi Ying's cold voice interrupted her.

"Second Young Miss Li"

Xi Ying called out in a mocking tone but Li Na could not detect it. Her heart only felt excited when she heard him calling her.

She made a pitiful face and raised her head to look at him with teary eyes as she called out softly

"Lord Xi..I .. I know my wrongs .. Although I was only worried about Elder Sister, I should not have done that. But since Elder Sister was silent that time..I thought that she also liked my suggestion..however Elder Sister was not at fault.."

Xi Ying smirked coldly suppressing the disgust inside his heart that was arousing at the sight of such a fake woman. She must have thought that he was a man with weak mind and would fall into her fake act.

That's why she dared to play with him this play of words.

On the other hand, Li Rui silently looked at Li Na who was acting like a white lotus and her eyes flickered with coldness.

She raised her head to look at her other family members.

And sure enough, everyone else could also see it.

Li Qiang face was only colder and he looked at his daughter as if she was a stranger to him. Yi Jie was flaring with anger while all other people had a disgusted expression on their faces.

When Li Rui's eyes fell on her father, she saw him blinking his eyes in assurance.

She nodded her head lightly indicating that she was not worried at all.

And she really was not. She didn't care of Xi Ying really took Li Na as a concubine in Xi Manor. It was his choice and she couldn't stop him from doing that. However, he could also not stop her from making her own choices in the future.

While thinking this, she easily ignore the little bit of uneasiness inside her heart.

The young prime minister standing beside his wife saw her indifference and sighed again.

Suppressing the despair inside his chest, he focused on Li Na in front of him who was fully busy in presenting herself as a pitiful woman.

Li Na's head was lowered but everyone could hear her sniffles in every few moments.

Standing behind her daughter, Li Rong bit her lips hard. She felt very nervous to see her daughter's behavior.

As she saw the cold smile on Xi Ying's lips that would turn softer whenever he looked at Li Rui, she finally understood that whatever she had thought in Xi Manor about their relationship was wrong.

Prime Minister Xi really loved Li Rui.

Now Li Na's behavior made her feel that she was creating more troubles for herself. And Xi Ying proved her right the next moment.

"This Lord wonders just for how many things Second Miss Li will apologize..especially when there are some things where a mere apology could not be accepted at all."

Li Na raised her head slowly not expecting Xi Ying to say something like this. But when she registered his words in her mind, her eyes were filled with confusion.

Li Rong, on the other hand frowned at Xi Ying's words and defended her daughter almost immediately

historical

"Lord Xi, my daughter is already apologizing. What more do you want her to do? Her mistake is also not that big that even her apology can't be accepted. Also it is the matter between two sisters..so this one thinks that Lord Xi should stay out of it."

Xi Ying's smile became colder at Li Rong's words and he said indifferently

"Oh..But this Lord doesn't wish to stay out of his wife's matters? What can First Madam Li even do to this Lord?"

He asked mockingly and Li Rong felt humiliated by his words as she knew that she really couldn't do anything against him.

Her face went red and she looked at Xi Ying angrily. Xi Ying, however, ignored her and looked somewhere else as if she was air.

Li Qiang frowned at his behavior but he knew that since his daughter and wife were at fault this time he couldn't say much.

"Rui, accept Li Na's apology this time. Uncle assures you that she would never dare to do something like this again."

Li Qiang said to Li Rui with a serious face.

Li Rui looked at her first uncle. Seeing her gentle eyes and earnest face, she suddenly wondered whether her uncle would really leave her father alone in all this mess if she told him that she can't forgive Li Na.

Her eyes suddenly fell on her father who nodded her head as if signing her to forgive Li Na.

But she didn't want to. She didn't wish to forgive Li Na this time.

Four years ago, she had remained silent. But four years later, when she still knows that Li Na has so much hatred in her heart for her that she could marry her husband even as a concubine just to step on her face then she does not wish to show any more nobility.

She opened her mouth to reply Li Qiang, she felt a hand on her waist and was suddenly dragged sideways. Her left side hit a firm chest and she looked at the man standing beside her emotionlessly.

Xi Ying held Li Rui closer to himself. He had seen General Li signing her to forgive Li Na and felt immediately displeased seeing this interaction.

General Li was very comfortably taking advantage of Li Rui's guilt for so many years. He doesn't want the old general to do the same thing now.

Holding Li Rui closer to his body, he spoke in her place to Li Qiang.

"This Lord doesn't allow his wife to forgive your daughter, Minister Li. It might be very easy for you to say these words because you still don't know completely what your two daughters had done to this Lord's wife.? Because if you knew then you would not have dared to say these words to this Lord's wife."
