Li Rong was silent for a long time after Xi Ying mocked her with his merciless questions regarding her daughters.
She was waiting for Li Rui to say anything… at least scold Xi Ying for how he was mocking her. However, Li Rui looked calm. Her face didn't even have an embarrassed or apologetic expression.
Li Rong felt very furious and humiliated seeing this.
She looked at Xi Ying with anger-filled eyes and then she asked Li Rui
"Rui, do you not have any say in this huge Manor? Will he embarrass your relatives just like this and you will stay silent and watch everything without even trying to stop him. Who would even come to visit you here if they would have to face all this?"
Li Rong said sharply and coldly, making Xi Ying's smile colder.
"That's again something that First Madam Li doesn't need to worry about. This Lord behaves very well with the people who think for this Lord's wife's well-being."
Li Rong looked very displeased by Xi Ying's response. She was more displeased by Li Rui's silence.
Li Rui however, looked calm contrary to Li Rong's angered face.
It was after a moment, she finally opened her mouth and asked Li Rong
"Did Elder Aunt want to talk about something important with Li Rui?"
Li Rong also put away her anger when she heard Li Rui's question. At the same time, she remembered why she had come here so she thought that she shouldn't say anything anymore that can make the situation difficult for her.
However, inside her heart, she concluded that Li Rui was just Xi Ying's puppet in Xi Manor and she didn't have any say in Xi Manor. It was better than her Li Na didn't marry Xi Ying even if it was going to be as a concubine only.
Lu Jianye was much better than Xi Ying in these aspects.
Li Rong didn't want to accept but her situation was no better than the fox who will comfort herself with the fact that grapes are sour when she won't be able to get it.
A part of her heart could also see that Plum Courtyard looked so beautiful and it had furniture that she had never seen in her life.
After all, Xi Ying had been gifted all those things by the Emperor directly and after he reconciled with Lii Rui, he did everything to make Plum Courtyard the most beautiful place in Xi Manor.
Because no matter how much he tried, Li Rui didn't move out from Plum Courtyard and hence he could do this only.
Now the same prime minister waited for Li Rong to say what she was here for.
He wanted to see what Li Rui's reaction would be.
"Rui…"
Lu Rong spoke after arranging her words in a manner inside her mind.
"Elder Aunt saw Yi Lei's face. The scar on his face had healed almost. Elder Aunt also came to know that it healed because of the ointment that was given to Yi Lei by you."
Li Rui's eyes immediately flashed with an understanding of what Li Rong was here for.
In fact, Xi Ying had told her that Li Caihong had thrown away the ointment that had been given to Li Qiang by her.
So it was easy to guess what Li Rong wanted exactly after saying these words.
Li Rong also paused for a moment and looked at Li Rui. She was trying to gauge whether Li Rui was really understanding where she was trying to go from here.
However, Li Rui's calm face didn't give away anything.
Li Rong frowned. She remembered very well that Li Rui was not like this before.
She used to be very polite and yielded to her every time before.
If it had been Li Rui from before then by now she would have gone inside her room and brought the ointment out and gave it to her.
However, what Li Rong didn't know was that before Li Rui did all that and endured everything because she wanted her clan to stay united.
But now she no longer cares about this.
Xi Ying had already assured her and she trusted Xi Ying.
And that's why she would no longer yield to Li Rong or her daughters.
So Li Rong was left with no other way except to speak out her words.
"Rui, I want the same ointment for Caihong."
Li Rong finished and waited for Li Rui to say something or go to her room to bring the ointment.
However, Li Rui stood there silently.
A moment later, Li Rong heard Li Rui asking her
"Did she use the ointment that I had given to Elder Uncle?"
Li Rong frowned in confusion hearing this.
"What are you talking about?"
Xi Ying raised his eyebrows as he smiled mockingly while looking at the confused Li Rong. So her daughter didn't even tell her anything about this.
That was even nicer. Xi Ying thought inside his heart as he spoke again making Li Rong have a very dissatisfied face.
"It seems that Madam Li's daughter didn't tell her that she had already thrown away the ointment that this Lord's wife had generously given to Minister Li even after whatever Madam Li's daughter did to this Lord's wife."
Li Rong swallowed as she looked at the ground with knitted brows.
So Li Rui had already given the ointment to Li Qiang but Li Caihong had thrown it away. She sighed heavily as she looked at Li Rui again.
She stepped forward and held Li Rui's hand as she said
"Rui, you know how Caihong has been since childhood. She is a little childish and doesn't think before what she does. You are her Elder Sister. You should try to be more understanding, right?"
However, Li Rui pulled her hand away from Li Rong's hold and stepped back as she said
"But I don't want to be understanding this time, Elder Aunt."
Li Rong's mouth parted in shock after she heard Li Rui's words while Xi Ying's eyes flashed with relief.
That was what he wanted to hear from Li Rui.
He didn't want her to see yielding to anyone and he was happy that she did not.
After this, he would manage everything.
Even before Li Rong could speak, Xi Ying held Li Rui's hand and said
"Rui, you must be tired. Do you want to go inside and rest?"
Without caring that Li Rong was standing there, Xi Ying caressed Li Rui's cheek and kissed her hand he was holding as he asked her.
Li Rong obviously didn't like it. She felt as if she was being ignored.
However, who cared what she liked or what she disliked.
And the recognition of this fact only infuriated her more.
So she also spoke, interrupting Li Rui and Xi Ying's conversation.
"Rui, I can understand that you are angry but Caihong is your sister. Can't you forgive her for once and give that ointment…"
"Which she had already done once…"
Xi Ying interrupted Li Rong and looked while staring into Li Rong's eyes coldly and sharply.
His voice was equally sharp as he said this and Li Rong couldn't help but step backward as she flinched visibly.
"First Madam Li, My wife had given the ointment to your daughter but it is your daughter who didn't seem to keep her generous act in her eyes. Now she will no longer be generous to others. And now, if you don't wish to be thrown out from this Lord's Manor then please leave on your own."
