After her father and mother, Li Rui looked at her other family members. Obviously, Li Rong, Li Na, and Li Caihong were still not present there.
Li Sying who had been called by her father to meet her Elder Sister before she goes back had her eyes filled with tears.
When Li Rui's eyes fell on her, she instantly ran towards her and held her waist while murmuring.
"Jiejie, why don't you just stay here tonight? Sying misses you a lot."
Li Rui sighed softly while Xi Ying saw the danger.
He was afraid that Li Rui will accept her younger sister's demands after all they seemed to share a very lovely bond.
So before Li Rui could open her mouth, Xi Ying cleared his throat and said
"Third Young Miss Li can visit Xi Manor anytime she wants. Just send a letter to this Lord and this Lord will make the needed arrangements for This Young Miss Li to come to Xi Manor."
In Li Rui's embrace, Li Sying heard Xi Ying's words, and her eyes brightened instantly.
"Really?"
Xi Ying nodded his head stiffly unable to digest the liveliness of the girl at his few words.
Li Sying, on the other hand, turned to look at her mother and said
"Mother, Jiejie's husband is so nice. No wonder Second Sister wanted to steal him away from Jiejie."
Li Sying said everything in her naivety but the atmosphere of the front hall turned a little awkward at her words.
Especially for Li Qiang who was standing in a corner …he didn't know where he should look at remembering his daughters' deeds.
"Remember to make Sying understand that whatever her second Sister was very wrong."
Li Qiang said to Li Jiang who immediately nodded his head as he looked at his lively daughter with a sigh.
After that, Li Qiang signed Li Rui to come closer.
Li Rui saw this and stepped forward to stand in front of her first uncle.
Just like a father, he patted Li Rui's head and whispered in a low voice.
"Uncle knows why you had been hiding everything for four years."
The soft smile on Li Rui's diminished a little at Li Qiang's words and her calm eyes stared at Li Qiang's face closely waiting for his next words.
Li Qiang sighed remembering what Xi Ying had said and now looking at silent Li Rui, he completely believed Xi Ying's words.
"However, Uncle wants you to know, Rui, that Uncle will never abandon Li Clan when it is in trouble. To Uncle, every member of Li Clan is family."
Looking towards his younger brother Li Heng, Li Qiang smiled lightly as he said
"I and Heng have a six years difference. Do you know … your grandmother used to be very ill after she birthed Li Jiang. She could only take care of Li Jiang with the little strength she had. Your father had grown under my care. I have seen Heng growing up. He is like my own son to me. Do you think that a father can leave his own son alone in any trouble?"
Li Rui's eyes that were filled with guilt for thinking that her first Uncle would abandon her father flickered at Li Qiang's last question.
She shook her head in front of Li Qiang who smiled thinking that he had achieved his purpose of making her niece's fear vanish. He didn't notice how Li Rui's eyes went to the quiet Li Chen standing in another corner.
'Do you think that a father can leave his own son alone in any trouble?'
No, she didn't think so.
That's why she was afraid. If it came out that it was Li Chen who stole the book from her father's study room, Li Rui was sure that it would be her own father who would be punishing Li Chen and it would not be an easy one.
At that time, would her first uncle still be able to stand by her father's side?
Li Rui stopped thinking about it the next moment. She thought that it would be better for everyone if this truth never comes out. Li Chen seemed to have understood that he was wrong in whatever he did.
So he would never do any such thing again. At least she could hope so.
So leaving this truth remain unburied was the best way for everyone.
Taking back her eyes from Li Chen, she took out a small packet from her sleeve and forwarded it towards her First Uncle.
"What is this, Rui?"
Li Qiang asked her in confusion while Xi Ying who was looking at his wife all the time had a same face.
"This is for Caihong. Dissolving this powder in water and then applying that paste on the face can remove the deep scars on the skin."
Li Rui's eyebrows knitted when she saw that her uncle was standing still and never forwarded his hand to take the packet from her hands.
"First Uncle, Rui assures you that it would not damage the skin in any way. Yi Lei is also using it and his scar has started to become a little light now."
She said because she thought that perhaps Li Qiang doubted the credibility of the powder as it was made by her.
However contrary to her thoughts, Li Qiang was more shocked by what she was doing.
"You still worry for Caihong?"
He asked gently as he looked at his niece with a helpless face.
Li Rui didn't know how she should respond to this question.
Did she worry about Li Caihong?
No, not at all.
She wouldn't even blink her eyes if Li Caihong begs in front of her while crawling on the ground. Her heart was that cruel to those who had been merciless to her.
The packet in her hands was prepared by her when she was leaving the Xi Manor.
At that time she was not sure what Xi Ying wanted to do by going to Li Manor. However what she knew was that after going to Li Manor, she would surely be blamed for Li Caihong's disfigured face …especially after Xi Ying had disrespected Li Na and Li Rong.
So she prepared this powder as an apology for everything.
Now since she had already prepared it, she didn't mind giving it to Li Caihong.
"I had prepared extra this time so I thought of giving a little to Caihong…"
She answered Li Qiang casually.
Li Qiang sighed at her answer but accepted the powder given by Li Rui. He had seen how Li Rui treated the poisoned prince during the banquet so he never doubted the credibility of the powder.
On the other hand, Xi Ying who was standing behind his wife shook his head as he looked at the faces of everyone who doesn't seem to know anything.
He had actually made his shadow guards investigate what business Li Rui exactly did.
The results had made him shocked as well as proud.
They didn't even know how rare it was to see the powder in the market that Li Qiang was currently holding.
People in the market could even kill each other for it… and his wife was giving such a precious powder to someone who had tried to disfigure her face.
