His Rui Chapter 22 - The Letter

Chapter 22 - The Letter

The next morning when Li Hua and Li i opened the door of Li Rui they found her sleeping on the chair. They didn't know if she was really sleeping or not because she opened her eyes as soon as they ca inside. Li i even asked her if she slept there for the whole night and distressedly asked her not to do this again as it would cause aches in her body.

Xi Ying who had been standing by Li Rui's side all night glanced at both the maids coldly. It was other things that his glares could not be seen by anyone. Rui had just closed her eyes a few minutes ago. She didn't rest the whole night and continued to stare blankly. He didn't know what she was thinking. But after hearing those words from her last night, he knew that it was nothing good.

She was in pain. She was in so much pain that she could not sleep. Her pain made his heart hurt. But he could do nothing. He could only accompany her in her pain without her knowing. Maybe this was his punishnt. Because for him seeing her in pain seed like the most difficult suffering he would never want to suffer again in this life.

When he found out that Li Rui didn't drug him, he had felt guilty in his heart. Because Li Rui was calm. He had thought both of them had their own wrongs on their side. He never tried to talk to her and she never ca to ask about Xi Ling. He had thought if she had been a responsible mother, they would not have beco like this in four years.

But what ca next was a slap on his face. The fault was his alone. It was his shadow guard who didn't let Li Rui et Xi Ling. He didn't even know how many tis he insulted his wangfei.

All the accusations, all the sches. It was not her work. She was wronged in every situation but she didn't let out a single word or maybe she thought that explaining herself will amount to nothing.

Many thoughts swirled in his mind the whole night. It was only when she closed her eyes he found a little peace in his heart. Finally, she could take so rest. But in less than half an hour, the door was opened by her maids and now she was getting ready for the next day instead of resting on her bed.

He was also worried for Xi Ling but his heart said that Li Rui will not let anything happen to their child. This ti he wanted to believe his heart. He wanted to believe Li Rui.

After an hour, the maid ca from the kitchen with the food. Li i and Li Hya looked at the food will a grim expression. There was more water than rice in the rice porridge. The vegetables were either burnt or were uncooked. The at was also not eatable. They took that food and put it on a table in the corner far from the table on which Li Rui was going to sit.

Even though Xi Ying needs to be close to Li Rui he could wander around the courtyard as long as Li Rui was inside her room. So when she was taking a bath, he went to the garden from last night. There were many plants there or he should call them dicinal herbs. When he ca back inside, he naturally saw this scene. Li Rui was still inside her room. Looking at the grim expression of the maids, he glanced at the food placed on the table. His face turned black and in his rage, he tried to flip the table but his hand just passed through the table without any obstruction.

Even the ill concubine residing in his manor whom he took inside to take care of Xi Ling eats better food than this.

Those servants dared to treat the main wife in this manner. He wished he could kill all of them. The hole in his heart was growing more and more.

What else had she suffered in his manor? The more he found out, the more his heart feels suffocated.

No doubt that she looked so thin and frail.

At this mont, the woman shadow guard Yi Ju appeared again in the courtyard. This ti she held sothing in her hands. She handed it to two maids, Li Hua and Li i. She uncovered her face and said with a goofy smile.

"Lord said that today all the dishes are Lady's favorite."

Xi Ying saw that it was food. The words buzzed in his brain.

'Which Lord?'

There was so restlessness inside his heart.

The two maids happily arranged the dishes on the table. The food really looked very delicious.

Li Rui ca outside and they served her. Xi Ying saw that she glanced at the bowl on the table placed far away. She knew everything. She knew that the food she was eating ca from outside the manor.

Xi felt the sa feeling from four years ago when his shadow guard had told him that Li Rui was going to marry soone else. He couldn't na this feeling. But he didn't like it all.

**

Of course, Li Rui knew what kind of food was sent from the kitchen of Xi Manor. Even if her maids try to hide things from her, she knew them. But she doesn't reveal anything. It will only increase their sadness.

Those who cared for her, she never wanted to see them sad. So she silently ate her breakfast.

A maid ca from outside and she seed from Xi Manor. She gave a letter to Li Hua saying that it was for Lady Li. Then she went out without greeting Li Rui.

Xi Ying didn't expect anything from the servants of his manor now.

However, he was curious about the letter. Li Hua gave the letter to Li Rui. His curiousness grew more when he saw a somber expression on Li Rui's face.

She didn't even complete her al and ordered Li Hua.

" Make so preparations. I am entering the imperial palace today."
