Chapter 589 General Li Knows His MistakesThe three people in the living room were silently looking at Li Rui.

Xi Ying didn’t know if he should really tell whatever happened during the Imperial banquet to Li Rui. Though he knew that he won’t be able to hide for a long time, he still wished that it would take longer than he had thought.

Because he didn’t know whether Li Rui will be happy or sad about whatever happened.

It was a little funny how the young prime minister who had never feared anyone in his life was sacred of telling something to his wife but it was the truth now.

A truth that he himself couldn’t deny.

So Xi Ying stayed silent.

Frowning, Li Rui moved her eyes from her husband to her father. She had expected Xi Ying to say something to her but seeing him silent, now she was more curious to know what exactly happened.

”Father.”

General Li’s face was blank. One of his arms was still around his wife’s waist and he avoided the matter successfully.

”Nothing, Rui. It is not something that you should hear in this state.”

She was pregnant, after all. General Li didn’t wish for her daughter to hear these kind of things when she was with child.

However, he looked dumbfounded when his wife suddenly removed his arm from her waist and then walked towards Li Rui.

Holding her daughter’s hand, she told Li Rui.

”I will tell you, Rui. Mother believes that my daughter is stronger than that.”

Saying this, she turned around to glare at her husband. In Yi Jie’s eyes, her daughter deserved to know everything.

Feeling sad or happy, that was her own choice. But she only wished that it would provide some relief to her wronged heart.

Because she as her mother could only find relief in the miseries of her daughter’s enemies.

So Yi Jie held her daughter’s hand and then started to walk towards the room she had been staying.

”Yi Jie..”

General Li wanted to follow his wife but Xi Ying blocked his way this time. Looking at the confused general, Xi Ying smiled and said

”Did you not wish to talk about something, General Li?”

General Li frowned in displeasure and said hurriedly so that he would move out of his way.

”You know I was just messing with you, Prime Minister Xi.”

”Ohhh..”

Xi Ying whispered but didn’t move out of General Li’s way. Instead, he asked him directly.

”But why do you wish to stop your wife, General LI?”

General Li had an incredulous expression on his face as he looked at Xi Ying and said

”Do you not know, Prime Minister Xi?”

”No, this Lord doesn’t know why General Li wants to stop Madam Li?”

In fact, Xi Ying thought that it would be better if Yi Jie told Li Rui everything. From what it looked like Yi Jie didn’t find anything wrong with whatever happened during the banquet.

And perhaps Li Rui would be able to see the same if her mother talked to her.

However, General Li’s persistence to stop his wife confused Xi Ying. He came out of his thoughts when he heard General Li sighing and saying

”I know my daughter, Prime Minister Xi. She would not feel any relief from knowing that Li Na and Li Caihong got what they deserved. She would not feel happy that now everyone knew the true face of Princess Wenling. Instead, she would only feel hurt when she would come to know how all these people tried their best to harm her reputation and worse..they tried to kill her.”

Xi Ying went silent at these words.

He knew very well that General Li’s words were true. However..

”She already knows everything, General Li.”

”What?”

”Rui knows everything about how Li Na, Li Caihong, and even Princess Wenling tried to harm her from time to time.”

This was something that General Li never knew. He was so surprised that he couldn’t help but ask

”Then why did she not tell me anything in the past?”

The words made Xi Ying smile coldly. His voice was filled with the same coldness as he said

”This is what happens when you burden the mind of a child with the thoughts that someone out there is trying to destruct his or her clan ..that it was she who provoked that someone to do it more fiercely.”

General Li’s face was emotionless after he heard Xi Ying’s words. He knew very well that Xi Ying was taunting him indirectly.

However, Xi Ying didn’t stop at all. He continued

”Just so that you won’t ever be alone against Zhao Wang Lei, she silently took whatever Li Na and Li Caihong gave her. Even now, she feels that if Li Na and Li Caihong’s truth came out then her Clan will get divided.”

General Li opened and closed his mouth to say something but he couldn’t really say anything.

What could he say!

Li Rui had been right in her thoughts actually. Li Rong and Yi Jie were so detached from each other after whatever happened. historical

They didn’t wish to see each other faces.

Li Heng knew that the things between the first and second households would never stay the same now.

Xi Ying saw General Li taking in everything silently. He also stayed silent for a few moments before he told General Li.

”However, this Lord is going to change her thoughts, General Li. It will take time but this Lord will make her realize that she had never been wrong. It was the people around her who were wrong..including this Lord and including you.”

After finishing his words, Xi Ying walked away from there while General Li continued to stand there.

It was not that he didn’t know that he had done mistakes.

He just wanted to protect her. But in these attempts of his, he lost the smile he had adored.

He never wished anything bad for his daughter. In the end, Li Rui was the child he adored most in Li Manor.

His strong and sensible daughter, Li Rui.
