His Rui Chapter 269 - His Love Was Supposed To Be Unconditional

After Li Na was dragged away, Li Rong also left the front hall without saying anything.

No one stopped her … not even Li Qiang.

Li Qiang now didn't even have any courage to bla Xi Ying for whatever he did to Li Caihong. After all, his daughters had done more damage to Li Rui than he did to his daughters.

Living in Li Manor together, every person knew that the four years of life for Li Rui in Xi Manor had not been very good. Although Li Rui's letters said otherwise, they were not fool enough to believe those letters.

At least the won of Li Manor believed those letters, the man who heard those rumors every day while going out, naturally knew the truth.

All of them knew that in the end, those rumors around the Imperial City were true.

Lord Xi had despised Li Rui for four years because he thought that she drugged him. Looking at the girl whom he had seen growing up in front of her eyes, Li Qiang suddenly felt his heart being pinched rcilessly.

He looked at Xi Ying with a serious face and said firmly.

"I will have my daughters in control, I promise Lord Xi. However, since Lord Xi knows the truth now, Rui should not suffer even a bit in Xi Manor, right?"

Xi Ying's heart sank a little at Li Qiang's words. Those four years …it was a phase that Xi Ying doesn't want to rember at the sa ti wanted to make himself rember them for eternity.

On one hand, that phase made him feel that for the mistakes he had done he never deserved Li Rui. It made him feel that he would never be able to touch Li Rui's heart because he made it grow cold with his own deeds.

On the other hand, he doesn't wish to forget them because he feels that he deserved to rember them because rembering those four years and whatever he had seen when he was by Li Rui's side for almost every mont … his heart would suffer from the pain and despair he had never felt in his life and he deserved that pain.

At the sa ti, those four years made Xi Ying confused about himself…his heart.

He loved Li Rui and there was no doubt in that. His heart had fallen for her when he first saw her.

But his love was unconditional …it was supposed to be …just like it was now.

Then how did it suddenly his heart was filled despise for her? Even if Li Rui had actually drugged him, he would have let it go very easily … because Li Rui was the woman he loved.

For her…everything was forgiven, everything he had belonged to her. It didn't matter what she wanted to do with him.

The man of Xi Manor had been like this always. His father…Xi Ying rembered just how much pain he had seen in his eyes at the ti of his death.

Loving his mother must have been painful for his father, right? Xi Ying couldn't help but wonder just how much his father loved his mother because even her ntion would make his eyes shine …even after he knew everything.

He had not understood it at that ti but now he did.

He glanced at the silent woman standing beside him. If he cos to know that Rui …

For a mont, Xi Ying felt endless suffocation. It would be too painful but would he be able to let go Rui?

Never.

He would still use every ans to keep her by his side. He was selfish but Rui was his salvation.

Xi Ying didn't answer Li Qiang's question but everyone in the front hall saw his eyes as he looked at Li Rui. They were full of love.

Yi Jie heart that had been depressed after seeing all the drama settled a little when she saw this.

At least now her daughter was happy.

On the other hand, General Li was looking at his calm and cold daughter. His eyes narrowed when he saw how she didn't look at Xi Ying at all.

He moved his away after a few seconds when he heard his wife

"Ah…Heng, what are we doing? We have our son-in-law in our manor, but we have him standing in the front hall for so much ti."

General Li smiled while Li Qiang again felt embarrassed rembering how he had stopped Xi Ying from coming to Li Manor in the future when he heard Yi Jie's words.

However, Li Qiang was not one of those n who would try to escape from the guilt of the mistakes they had done.

He looked at Xi Ying and said

"Lord Xi, I welco you in the Li Manor and apologize for the rude words I said earlier."

Seeing the genuineness on Li Qiang's face, Xi Ying suddenly felt that his wife's fears towards the first household of Li Clan were baseless.

According to what he can see, Li Qiang would never go against his own brother, General Li.

However, Xi Ying's gaze went to the boy standing in the corner with his head lowered. It was not guaranteed if Li Qiang's son was the sa …so he could understand his wife's fears.

Xi Ying knew that it was Li Chen who had stolen the book of war strategies from General Li's study room and then gave it to the first Prince.

His shadow guards had done the investigation and according to what he knew even Li Rui knew about this thing.

He didn't know if he should reveal Li Chen's deeds also after revealing Li Caihong and Li Na's because General Li had told him that Rui had adored Li Chen since his birth.

Although it was another thing that Li Chen didn't seem to rember this after his sisters manipulated him and hence, he did hurt Li Rui with his words as well as his actions very much for so many years.

Also…he looked at Li Qiang wondering what his reaction would be if he ca to know that even his son went against his own clan in his foolishness of proving himself a great man.

Would he still stand with this won clan and disown his son or would he go against his brother and stand with his son?

After all, it was the ti where daughters were favored more than the son and he didn't truly know if Li Qiang was also that kind of man.
