"A man who had schemed against Li Clan for four years with the Emperor himself …how can Li Rui trust him without any reason?...especially after hearing what Princess Wenling said with her own ears …or seeing how Prime Minister Xi tried to lessen the power of Li Clan with her own eyes…"
The last words said by Li Rui made Xi Ying raise his head swiftly and look at her with his eyes full of questions.
The helplessness went away and he asked Li Rui immediately interrupting her.
"When did I do such a thing?"
And Li Rui's eyes went cold seeing how he was pretending to be oblivious… or perhaps he had not expected her to know anything.
She smiled coldly and questioned her intelligent and so-called husband
"The incident of Li Na …wasn't it planned by Prime Minister Xi?"
Xi Ying's eyes went cold at her question. He remained silent for a moment before he accepted.
"Yes, it was me."
He saw the smile on Li Rui's face becoming colder.
This time Xi Ying ignored the pain of his heart he felt seeing that cold smile for himself. Black eyes filled with anger looked down at Li Rui as he leaned closer to his wife and said
"Do not tell me that your distrust in me is because of that pair of sisters. The same sisters who didn't leave any chance to humiliate you. Perhaps you didn't hear what Li Caihong said about you that day because if you had, then you wouldn't have found my actions unreasonable."
Li Rui, however, was not fazed by these words. Her eyes were still cold and she looked at Xi Ying without any fear
"In Rui's eyes, Prime Minister Xi's actions were just an attempt of lessening the power of Li Clan. Creating the rift amongst the households of Li Clan with your actions of harming the daughters of one household…that is a really great move, Prime Minister Xi."
And Xi Ying's anger again vanished away with these words.
Utter helplessness filled his black eyes again as he found himself unable to say anything.
His actions really seemed to be doing that if he would look from Li Rui's point of view but…
… he never thought of doing any such thing.
How could he even explain that to her?
He suddenly understood why Li Rui remained silent about Li Na and Li Caihong's plotting against her for all these years.
Just because she didn't want General Li to be left alone to fight against the Emperor, she remained silent against whatever that vicious pair of sisters did.
And now he as her husband disfigured Li Caihong's face, the blame will be put on Li Rui in the end and hence the second and first household of Li Clan will never be like before again.
All this …Xi Ying had never thought of this but Li Rui did.
His heart was suddenly filled with pain…for her. For his Rui, who god knows what all had borne silently just to not let his father be left alone against the Emperor in his fight for saving Li Clan.
Suddenly raising his head, Xi Ying looked at Li Rui and whispered
"Rui, General Li doesn't need anyone else. Believe me, try it just once…I will never let you down."
'You don't need to suffer silently. You only need to trust me.'
However, those black eyes remained cold …without any trace of a crack in them.
Panic filled Xi Ying's heart suddenly as he looked at Li Rui.
She suddenly seemed to be so distant…so far away from him, as if he would never be able to reach her as if nothing in this world could move her.
His heart felt suffocated and his hands unconsciously reach out to drag the small figure in front of him inside his embrace.
The beautiful hands were however were ready with a dagger. As soon as he grasped Li Rui's waist, the pointy dagger hit his chest.
However, Xi Ying never stopped.
He dragged Li Rui near himself and hugged her tightly.
He could feel the dagger piercing his chest slowly and slowly. He could feel the pain seeping through his bones but his hold on Li Rui never loosened.
The pain that originated from her distant and cold eyes was much more than this pain. Xi Ying smiled bitterly when he found his mind working properly.
As he continued to hug Li Rui tightly, many emotions flashed through Xi Ying's eyes.
The entire conversation he had just now revolved in his mind and Xi Ying took the biggest decision he had made in his life.
It was about half a minute later that he finally left Li Rui.
He stood up from the bed and looked down at his chest. The red blood could be seen through robes but he smiled very calmly.
Lifting his head he found Li Rui also looking at his wound.
"Do not worry, the wound is not deep."
He smiled gently and he raised his hand to pat her cheek but Li Rui avoided his hand indecisively. The smile on Xi Ying's face didn't falter.
And he took back his hand without any anger present in his eyes.
Looking into Li Rui's clean black eyes, his own eyes were filled with determination as he said his next words.
"Rui, now I will just destroy the root of all this. I will destroy every reason that makes you afraid of trusting me."
With these words, Xi Ying left the Plum Courtyard.
The sun had brightened the sky.
Li Rui stood near the window of her room looking outside at the bright sky trying to comprehend the meaning of Xi Ying's words he had said to her just a few moments ago.
Somewhere her heart was shaken by the determination in his eyes.
What was it for? Just to win her trust. Did it matter to him that much if she trusted him or not?
Putting aside all this, she had a very strange feeling.
A very big change was going to come … perhaps it was the silence before the storm.
Or perhaps the storm would pass covered by the silence this time creating so many changes in everyone's life.
