His Rui

"My Lady"

Xi Ying's fingers trembled when he heard An Ju's shout again. His heart seemed to have stopped beating for a moment and he couldn't feel anything.

He couldn't hear anything except An Ju's screams as she called 'My Lady' again and again. But he was too afraid to turn around and look at the sight in front of him.

Afraid of what he would see once he turned around….the fear seemed to have stilled his whole body making him feel sweaty everywhere.

Something flashed in his mind making his head so painful that he felt like it would split apart at any moment.

"Master"

He heard An Ju's anxious shout as she called him and Xi Ying's whole body jerked suddenly.

"Rui"

He whispered out breathlessly and turned around swiftly like a wind forgetting everything.

His eyes held panic and fear when he saw a petite figure lying on the ground.

"Rui"

This time the shout came out from his mouth. So loud…that even An Ju shivered and jumped away from Li Rui as she looked at her master with a horrified face.

She was scared …very scared as she watched her master's eyes going red and walking towards Lady Li in hurry.

An Ju had never seen her master like this.

"Rui…what happened?"

She gulped in fear when Xi Ying's cold and sharp eyes looked at her.

"This s…s…ser..vant doesn't know. M…My Lady was getting out of the carriage ….and t…then she suddenly collapsed on the ground."

An Ju stuttered out with great difficulty. She could feel the cold sweat forming behind her back as Xi Ying moved his cold eyes from her face.

She saw her master taking Lady Li in his arms…as if she was made from glass …so gently that An Ju gasped silently inside his heart.

Even her master was capable of being so gentle…An Ju just couldn't believe this fact.

However, such Xi Ying only scared her more.

Because she felt that if something really happened to Li Rui then no one in Xi Manor would be left alive.

This thought woke up the afraid An Ju and she said immediately

"Master, this servant will go and look for the physician right now."

She said.

Xi Ying just nodded his head hurriedly without even looking at her as he picked Li Rui from the cold ground carefully in his arms.

"Rui"

He called out again but got no response.

"Just leave now."

He said harshly to An Ju when saw that she still had not left.

An Ju stepped back in fear and nodded her head vigorously

"Y…Yes master."

She stuttered out and flew away from Xi Manor the next instant. While leaving Xi Manor, An Ju only wished for An Zhi and An Su to reach Xi Manor back as soon as possible so that they can help her deal with the angry master.

An Shing and An Ping had already got the news of their master reaching the Xi Manor.

The steward, Shui Cao had been standing at the manor entrance with the servants.

So when Shui Cao saw Xi Ying walking inside Xi Manor with Li Rui in his arms he hurriedly moved his eyes away and ordered the servants to go and inform the maids of the Plum Courtyard about this.

An Shing and An Ping looked at each other and with a tacit understanding, An Ping also flew out of Xi Manor to bring the physician to Xi Manor while An Shing decided to look around the manor to find the traces of invading of any unfamiliar person.

Xi Ying didn't seem to have any mind of paying attention to what his shadow guards were doing. All his attention was currently on the woman in his arms.

Inside his heart, he blamed himself continuously for getting controlled by his anger.

He didn't have any right to get angry at Li Rui for such matters.

If only he had acted wisely then perhaps she would have not been in such a state at this moment.

His eyes roamed around her small figure and he sighed in relief on not seeing the signs of any injury.

However, the relief lasted only for a second.

'What if someone had taken advantage of his irresponsibility and poisoned Li Rui. The thought scared Xi Ying.'

Xi Ying's arms around Li Rui tightened unconsciously…as if someone was trying to take her away from him and he could just use this method to give comfort to his heart.

"My Lady"

Li Hua and Liu Lan who had run out of the Plum Courtyard after hearing the news from servants shouted when they saw unconscious Li Rui in Xi Ying's arms.

Li Hua had a pale face as she looked at Xi Ying with doubtful eyes and asked him without any fear while walking beside him

"It's you who did something, right? What did you do to my mistress?"

The maid seemed to have forgotten any rules as she looked at her unconscious mistress inside the arms of the man she hated with her whole heart at this moment.

Her words made Xi Ying's cold face more wooden. However, he couldn't help but find them true to more extent as he himself thought that he was responsible for whatever had happened to Li Rui.

"I shall not let anything happen to her. Believe me."

He didn't look at the worried maid but said coldly as he walked inside the Plum Courtyard.

"Mother…Father"

Xiao Ling who had run out of his mother's courtyard after hearing the news of his mother's return had a bright smile on his lips.

However, his wide, bright, and black eyes were full of fear and wonder when he saw his mother in his father's arms and her eyes were closed.

"Father, why is mother asleep?"

The young child asked his father but didn't get an answer to his question.

His father walked past him without looking at him.. He saw his father's red eyes on his mother and Xi Ling understood that something was wrong with his mother.
