Li Rui stepped out of the banquet hall with Xi Ying and walked beside him silently.
She glanced at his face just once and immediately knew that he was still angry.
Li Rui lowered her head as she contemplated what she should say. As she thought this, she couldn't help but smile remembering those times when she use to think of flattering words just to save herself from her father's anger.
"Ying…"
She called out softly.
The hand holding her hand stiffened slightly which didn't go unnoticed by her but the man walking beside her composed himself very soon.
Xi Ying cleared his throat quite loudly as he glanced at Li Rui once who was already looking at him. Her clean black eyes focused on himself made him feel a little hot especially when he remembered just how softly she had called out his name just now.
'Ah…when did his self-control start to lose control?' He groaned inside his heart.
His throat wobbled and he moved his eyes away fearing that he would do something she wouldn't like.
From his side, he heard Li Rui's words.
"They would not have allowed me to treat the prince if I had not said those words."
He knew what she was talking about. Also the woman was quite intelligent to not repeat those words again as if she knew that it would fuel his anger.
However, he was still very angry.
Just when he was about to say something, he heard a voice from his behind…
"Lady Li."
His face didn't change at all and he wanted to continue walking but Li Rui gripped his hand tightly indicating him to stop.
With a frown, Xi Ying stopped and turned around to look at this 'important' person who had stopped them and for whom Li Rui stopped him. As soon as he saw who it was, his eyes turned colder.
In front of Xi Ying and Li Rui was standing Madam Wen.
Her eyes staring at Li Rui were very cold which made Xi Ying angrier.
Feeling the cold gaze, Madam Wen glanced at the young Prime Minister. She just stared at him for some moments fearlessly but couldn't hold that cold gaze for a long time.
In the end, she had to sigh in defeat and lower her head while Xi Ying was surprised to see Madam Wen's courage.
There has only been one woman in this world who had looked him in the eye when he was surrounded by that cold and indifferent aura.
It was Li Rui.
Xi Ying still remembers how angry he had been at Li Rui on the first night when he had entered their wedding room. However, Li Rui had not lowered her gaze even once. She had calmly looked into his eyes.
At that moment, it had made him more angry but now whenever he thinks about it, he only feels proud of his wife.
"I will talk to her for a moment."
He came out of his trance when he heard Li Rui's words but frowned instantly.
He glanced at his wife trying to know some of her thoughts but found her looking at Madam Wen.
Li Rui was looking at Madam Wen for quite a long time who was also looking at her coldly from time to time. Seeing that she continued to stand there, Li Rui knew that Madam Wen would not walk away until they would have a conversation.
She stepped forward but found that Xi Ying still have not left her hand.
Turning her face around, she found her husband looking at her with a frown.
She found it a little funny when she thought just how many times she had seen him frowning in these two days.
On the other hand, Xi Ying had wanted to stop her; however, suddenly he couldn't let out those words and said instead
"I will stand here. Don't go out of my sight."
Li Rui nodded her head obediently. So he had to leave her hand reluctantly.
.
.
.
The two women stood silently facing each other. No one said anything.
Madam Wen turned her face around and saw Lord Xi standing a few steps away. She chuckled lightly but it was the one that didn't have any humor.
"I see…you have trapped such a cold and intelligent man quite tightly in your snare."
Li Rui didn't say anything and Madam Wen smiled coldly.
"Tell me, Lady Li, I really wish to know this. Actually, not only this humble one but every girl in the Imperial City wishes to know. Just what did you do to make Lord Xi so loving suddenly?"
But in response to her question, she just got a long silence.
Madam Wen was now starting to get angry when she saw that Li Rui was standing so calmly. She stopped closer to Li Rui and whispered harshly.
"If you had these tricks on your sleeves then why did you wait until now, huh? Why did you let him despise yourself for four years?"
Standing behind Madam Wen, a few steps away, Xi Ying saw this and was about to step forward.
In her anger, Madam Wen didn't notice Li Rui looking at her behind and blinking her eyes in assurance to Xi Ying who stepped back with a frustrated sigh.
Madam Wen who was standing closer to Li Rui looked at the angelic face in front of her.
"Seeing your face, no one can even think that you have such a vicious heart."
Pausing amidst her words, Madam Wen suddenly let out a trembling sigh and whispered
"Why did you kill my sister?"
Hearing these words, Li Rui looked at Madam Wen.
Madam Wen's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Li Rui in confusion. She suddenly held Li Rui's arm and shook her lightly while asking
"It is not like she was snatching anything from you. Then why did you kill her, Li Rui? Do you not feel anything inside your heart? Ha…do you even have that? Because if you had, then you would not have killed my innocent sister."
