Chapter 680 Xi Ling's Wise Words

Xi Ying didn't even dare to look at his wife's face after his son finished speaking.

He snatched the cloth away from his hands and said coldly.

"You go and study."

Xi Ling pouted as she frowned at his father and said seriously.

"Father, this is also a serious matter. Xi Ling's sibling can't wear such clothes with that ugly thing on that cloth."

Xi Ying was afraid that Li Rui would be hurt by his son's foolish words so he looked at his wife to check. Li Rui looked quite calm.

She stroked Xi Ling's head and said gently.

"Xi Ling is right. Mother was trying to make a peacock on the cloth but Mother couldn't do it."

The sadness was clearly audible in her voice when she said these words and Xi Ying frowned deeply while Xi Ling looked at his mother with wide eyes as if he suddenly understood something.

"Mother, is that why you were crying?"

Li Rui couldn't feel more embarrassed. She wondered what happened to her just a few moments back. But she couldn't lie to her son. That was not what she wanted to teach him.

"Yes."

Xi Ling sighed suddenly like an adult.

He held his mother's hand that was on his head and put it on his lap holding it with his small hand.

"Mother is also silly."

"Xi Ling…"

Xi Ying scolded his son coldly as soon as he finished.

However, the small bun looked at his father with a serious face and said

"Father, let Xi Ling finish at least."

Xi Ying looked at his son with raised eyebrows. However, Xi Ling ignored his father and focused his attention back on his Mother.

"Just because Mother couldn't make a peacock on that cloth, it is very silly to cry. So what if Mother couldn't do it? Mother can still do many things that no one else can."

Li Rui's eyes, which were filled with a little bit of sadness before, were suddenly blank after she heard Xi Ling's words.

When she didn't say anything, Xi Ling continued

"The old grandpa had told Xi Ling that Mother could save the life of people …something that many people couldn't do. So why is Mother crying at such a small thing?"

Li Rui who had been looking at her son slently blinked continuously before she hugged him tightly.

Her lips had a small smile as she caressed his small head and whispered

"Mother understands. Xi Ling is very intelligent."

"Haha…"

Xi Ling who was very happy by his mother's last few words smiled cheerfully in her embrace.

While Xi Ying who was looking at his son with deep eyes also smiled and suddenly moved forward to hug the three of them.

His arms surrounded them completely.

They were his treasure.

Precious treasure.

-------------

Xi Ying was relieved after the matter related to the embroidery was solved.

Li Rui no longer insisted to sew clothes making him more relieved.

He ordered Li Hua and Liu Lan to arrange the dinner.

The dinner also passed in a very peaceful environment where Xi Ling who had made his mother very happy was also happy after his mother fed him with her hands.

Today, Xi Ying didn't force him to eat on his own. He let Mother and son have their own time.

After he stepped out of the dining room with Li Rui and Xi Ling, he was about to go to their room when An Ping suddenly appeared.

"Master"

Xi Ying understood that it must be something important.

When he saw Li Rui looking at them, he held her face with his hand and assured her.

"Everything is fine. I will just go and see what it is. I will be back soon."

Li Rui nodded her head and left with Xi Ling who was more than happy to have some more time with his mother.

A few minutes later, Xi Ying was inside the study room.

He leaned against the study table and looked at An Ping and An Si who stood in front of him with their heads bowed in respect.

"What is it?"

"My Lord, we have found who had poisoned Second Madam Li?"

Xi Ying's eyes flickered and he immediately asked them.

"Who is it?"

An Ping was silent for a moment before he spoke

"It was Her Majesty, the Empress."

The study room was silent after his words.

An Ping's and An Si's heads were lowered so they could never see what kind of expression Xi Ying had at this moment.

He was seething with anger. His eyes were filled with nothing but death and coldness.

They only heard his cold voice asking them to leave and soon they left the study room without any question.

Inside the study room, Xi Ying stood silently for a few moments before he suddenly moved towards his chair that was placed behind the table.

He sighed as he lowered his head.

His hand was on his temple and then between his eyebrows. He suddenly looked very defeated and half-spirited.

Anyone could get tired.

Xi Ying was also a human so perhaps it was his time to feel exhausted and wonder whether the path he had chosen was really right or wrong.

.

.

Xi Ying didn't get to know for how long he sat there.

He was so lost in himself that he didn't even get to know when someone entered the study room. It was only when a hand suddenly held his hand that was placed on the table, did he come out of his trance.

He raised his head slowly already knowing who it was. The soft and sweet scent that invaded his senses was enough for him to know who was standing near him.

"Rui…"

He said gently as he held her hand in return and pulled her towards himself.

Li Rui looked at him silently and let him do what he was doing.

Hence a moment later, she was sitting on his lap with both of her legs on one side. Xi Ying's head was on her shoulder. His hand suddenly held her hand and put it on his head.

Confused, Li Rui asked

"You are having a headache, Ying?"

Xi Ying actually did not have any headache but he still nodded his head.

When he felt her pressing the side of his head with her fingers, he sighed softly. He just wanted to feel her touch. It made him feel calm and at peace.

They spent a few moments in silence. After some time, Xi Ying stopped Li Rui from pressing his head. He didn't want her to get tired.

He just sat there with his arms around her frame near him.

"What happened, Ying?"

Li Rui asked finally.

Xi Ying whose head was buried in her shoulder tilted his head slightly and looked at her. His lips had a small smile and he whispered

"Just something. Don't worry, it will be fine."

Li Rui looked at him silently for a few moments and then asked

"You won't tell me?"

Xi Ying looked at her. His smile vanished slowly and he looked serious. A moment later, he told her without any hesitation.

"They found out who poisoned your Mother."

Li Rui blinked. She had not expected that to come out so suddenly but now she was only more curious. What about this revelation made him like this?

"Who is it?"

She asked him.

Xi Ying went silent at that.

He buried his head in her shoulder again. He didn't have the courage to look into her eyes when he said

"It is Qin Wenya."
