His Rui

Li Rui was too shocked to say anything after hearing whatever the old woman had said.

She had never been in any such situation before. However, she gained her calm soon and then didn't say anything.

It would be better to let Xi Ying handle this matter.

She thought as she looked at the crowd that had started to gather around them now.

On the other hand, Xi Ling's black eyes were wide as he stared at the old lady. He didn't understand much from whatever she said.

However, one thing that he came to know of was that she wanted to take his mother away.

The small bun's heart was filled with anger and he walked forward and kicked the old woman's foot.

"Ow…you brat…what are you doing?"

The old woman shouted in anger as she stepped away and held her feet while shouting just how much pain in she was.

Pointing his finger at Xi Ying's face, she said

"You need to compensate me. Now give me your brother for free. I won't give you even a penny. Ouch…it hurts so much."

Xi Ying rolled his eyes seeing the old woman's antics.

Xi Ling was nothing but a child. Combined with that, his son was still dealing with the aftereffects of the poison that was given to him by Princess Wenling.

His body still didn't have that much flesh and energy…something that children from noble families usually have. Li Rui had told him that it would take almost a year for his body to come back in shape a child should have at his age.

He knew very well that even if he had kicked with his whole force, it wouldn't have hurt the old lady that much.

She was just pretending.

Inside his heart, he actually wished that in place of Xi Ling, it would have been better if he would have kicked the old lady.

Daring to look at his wife in a not-so-decent way…he wanted to dig out those eyes.

And what irritated him most was that the old woman's niece was still standing at the end of the street and looking at Li Rui.

Xi Ying glanced sideways and pushed Li Rui's body gently behind himself.

He was very satisfied to see the disappointment in that young girl's eyes when she couldn't see Li Rui any longer.

Hmph…only he could look at his wife in that way.

However, seeing the old woman's face spread the irritation over his heart again. He pulled Xi Ling back and then said to the old woman coldly

"Didn't you hear me? He is already married."

This time it was an old woman who rolled her eyes and said

"So what? He can always divorce that woman. I am sure that that woman must not be as beautiful as my niece. And my niece's family is rich. I assure you that your brother will live a life that you poor people dream of living."

Xi Ying's lips twitched in anger.

What was stopping him from kicking this old woman away with her niece!

It was his hand…that was held by Li Rui firmly. Otherwise, until now, he would have left this market with his wife and son.

Even the shadow guards hiding in the shadow looked coldly at the old woman. At the same time, they wondered just when their master became so merciful.

It was Li Rui who had to step out in the end.

She looked at the old woman with no expression on her face. Li Rui had to clear her throat many times before coming out so that her voice comes out a little manly. However, it was still a little difficult.

But fortunately, no one seemed to doubt her because of her hoarse but a little soft voice.

"Old Lady, I am already married. I won't divorce my wife. We are living very harmoniously."

"Yes, Yes."

Xi Ling said immediately with one of his hands on his hips regardless of how much he understood his mother's words.

The only meaning that he thought the words had was his mother was happy with his father and him.

He was very happy after hearing this.

Xi Ying's eyes had an intense look when he heard Li Rui's words while the old lady had not so a good face.

Before when she had started crying in pain, she could see that the crowd of people was in her favor …at least a few people were.

However, after hearing the young man's words now even those people were looking at her with a suspicious gaze.

She knew that she could not stand here and argue with them any longer.

So she hmphed once in anger and then walked away from there.

At the end of the street, Xi Ying could see that the old woman was arguing with her niece at this moment. He didn't pay attention to them and took Li Rui and Xi Ling out of the market…not at all happy with whatever happened in the past few moments.

After coming out of the market, Xi Ying just sat inside the carriage.

The carriage that he had asked Shui Cao to arrange especially was very helpful at this moment. It didn't have any beautiful engraving and it was made of simple wood without any color on it. Hence, it looked completely from some village.

After that incident, they never stepped out of the carriage again.

Xi Ling, too, never insisted again to step out and watch the market. The small bun was now afraid to lose his mother.

Sitting beside his mother, he held her hand in his small hand firmly and said that he disliked that old lady very much …not once but many times.

Li Rui was left amused and helpless by her son's actions unknown that the same thoughts were currently going on inside her husband's mind.

The unhappy prime minister asked the coachmen to stop the carriage now at the restaurant where he had asked Zhao Zhang Wei to come.

In the end, the main purpose of this coming out was this meeting only.
