His Rui

The powerful kick made Li Caihong fly in the corner she was sitting before.

"Ah…"

She whispered in pain and curled up her body because of the pain.

On the other hand, Li Qiang was still shocked by the turn of the events. He raised his head and saw LI Chen standing beside him.

"Father…"

Li Chen helped his father to stand up.

"You should not have kicked your sister like this, Li Chen."

Li Qiang reprimanded his son as he heard his daughter whimpers but Li Chen didn't say anything.

"F..Father… Is it father?"

Li Qiang suddenly heard Li Caihong whispering and he immediately moved towards her.

Li Chen followed his father fearing that Li Caihong would again do something crazy.

"Caihong, it is father, child"

Li Qiang said and bent down in front of Caihong.

"Father…"

He heard his daughter's sobs and Li Qiang's heart was filled with immense pain.

His trembling hand went to his daughter's hair who was still lying on the ground and he stroked them gently.

Li Caihong's sobs became louder and she shouted

"Father…avenge me father…he made me ugly…father…my face …it is so ugly…"

Li Qiang's eyes were red and he made his daughter sit on the ground. Hugging her gently in his arms, he continued to stroke her hair gently and whispered again and again

"It's alright, child, It's alright."

With red eyes, he stared blankly at the wall in front of him as he said inside his heart.

'I will never forgive for you doing this, Prime Minister Xi.'

While Li Chen who was standing behind his father had a cold face but it was not because he was also angry at Xi Ying. Instead, he never felt any pity for Li Caihong.

To him, he had only two sisters, and that was Li Rui and Li Sying.

--------

Li Qiang spent some more time in Li Caihong's courtyard.

He made her eat something and then ordered her to take a rest. Only then he left his daughter's courtyard.

"Li Chen, do you know where your mother and second sister are?"

Li Qiang asked his son as soon as they stepped out of Li Caihong's courtyard.

Li Chen, however, shook his head and answered his father

"No, Father…But I have seen mother in the living room when I saw her last."

He said as he remembered seeing his mother with Li Na walking across the living room a few hours ago.

Li Qiang nodded his head and moved towards the living room followed by his son.

Stepping inside the vacant living room, Li Qiang frowned again when the servants told him that they have not seen his wife and daughter since a shichen.

So he went to the front hall.

In the front hall, General Li was having tea with Yi Jie. He stood up from the chair as soon as he saw his elder brother.

Just at this moment, he heard a sound and walked towards the window of the front hall. From the window, he saw a carriage stopping outside and a few minutes later, Li Rong and Li Na stepped out of that carriage.

Li Qiang was surprised to see this scene.

So as soon as Li Rong stepped inside the Li Manor with her daughter, she was shocked to see her husband standing in front of her.

"Rong'er where did you go?"

Li Qiang asked with a frown when he saw that even Li Na was with his wife.

'Doesn't she know that it was not good for Li Na to go out for this period of time?'

Even Yi Jie had a frown on her forehead clearly not understanding why Li Rong was doing so many mistakes these days. However, she didn't say anything. She had already noticed that there was a kind of detachment between her and Li Rong since the second day of the banquet.

She would have tried to step forward and talk to her sister in law if it was in the past but this time, Yi Jie didn't think that she really needed to do any such thing. This time, Li Rong should see her daughter's mistake by herself.

On the other hand, Li Rong was nervous as she didn't know how she should answer her husband's question. She had never needed to lie to her husband and at this moment, she knew that she could not tell him the truth also.

But she didn't need to say anything.

Because Li Na told her father very calmly

"Father, Mother was worried about me. She took me to the temple."

She lied so smoothly that even Li Rong could not find any fault in her lie and Li Qiang couldn't also. He nodded his head and thought to talk to his wife later that she should not let Li Na out for a few days.

He knew what kind of rumors would be going around the Imperial City after such an incident and he didn't want his daughter to hear them.

Li Na still wanted to have a talk with her mother so she held her hand and walked forward to leave the front hall.

However, just when she was about to leave the front hall with Li Rong, both of them heard Li Qiang's cold voice.

"What are you doing here?"

Li Na and Li Rong turned around with confused faces but they froze when they saw who was standing at the entrance of the front hall.

Xi Ying smirked and stepped inside with Li Rui without any hesitation on his face.

The smirk on his lips made Li Qiang more furious.

'After disfiguring his daughter's face, he still had the courage to visit Li Manor.'? Li Qiang thought angrily inside his heart.

However, he suppressed the anger inside his chest when he saw Li Rui standing beside Xi Ying and said as gently as he could.

"Rui, you can come to Li Manor any time you want…but Uncle doesn't want to see this man in Li Manor after whatever he had done to Li Caihong."

Li Rui glanced at Li Qiang but didn't say anything. She wondered whether Xi Ying would really stay here after he was being humiliated like this. If he left then she would be relieved actually because she still didn't know what the purpose of his sudden visit was.

Li Qiang had expected the same.

However, contrary to their expectation, the smirk on the young Prime Minister's face became more mocking as he looked at Li Qiang.

"Minister Li is surely very unreasonable here.. When Minister Li's wife and eldest daughter can visit this Lord's Manor anytime they want but this Lord is not allowed to visit Li Manor."
