When Lu Jianye came out of the Li Manor, his face looked completely different from how excitedly he had entered the Li Manor.

The servant instantly knew that something must have happened.

However, he didn't dare to ask his master anything.

With a blank face, Young Master Lu walked towards his horse and climbed on it. As the horse started to go ahead, a tear suddenly slipped out one of his eyes, and Lu Jianye immediately wiped it.

Li Na didn't give him even a single chance to say anything.

'I won't ever become your concubine. I am a daughter of Li Clan and I would never marry as someone's concubine.'

She told him proudly and then left from there with her maid.

Needless to say, he was left very hurt because of her mercilessness.

However, he was trying hard to understand her. It was right for her to feel wronged. Lu Jianye said to himself continuously.

With this same thing going inside her mind, when Lu Jianye reached Lu Manor, he was furious to hear his father and mother talking to Patriarch Yu about his marriage to Yu Wei.

His eyes found the young girl who was standing in a corner of the living room with red cheeks. When she found him looking at her, she immediately looked away and then ran away from her.

Everyone laughed at her actions but Lu Jianye could not feel any joy.

He only felt utter dislike towards Yu Wei. He finally understood why his parents refused to accept Li Na as his wife.

They were very greedy to make relations with a powerful clan so Lu Jianye was very surprised when his parents refused to accept Li Na as his wife. But he didn't remember that he had already been betrothed to Yu Wei.

The friendship of Lu and Yu Clan was four decades older now. They didn't want to break this friendship. He could understand them but what was his fault in all this!

Why couldn't he marry a girl he liked!

With a frustrated sigh, Lu Jianye walked towards his own courtyard.

.

.

On the other hand, sitting inside his study room, Xi Ying heard everything from his shadow guard with a bored expression on his face.

After hearing everything, he just sighed and shook his head.

If Lu Jianye still couldn't understand anything, then he was surely a fool!

That was what Xi Ying thought. He in fact found that Yu Weil girl a decent lady …at least decent than Li Na.

Lu Jianye perhaps didn't know how to differentiate between good and bad. He was more curious to know what his next step would be.

Silently marrying Yu Wei with a dissatisfied heart or going against his parents and then marrying Li Na as his wife.

Both the ways should create doom for Li Na. That's what Xi Ying was going to ensure.

"Here…take this to the Second Prince."

Xi Ying took out a letter from a book and gave it to his shadow guard.

"Tell him that he was to find this out before this deal proceeds."

The shadow guard bowed his head accepting Xi Ying's order and then left the study room.

The thing that Xi Ying had asked Zhao Zhang Wei to find out was just how many people Zhao Wang Lie had worked for him.

He actually had an estimate but he still asked Zhao Zhang Wei to find it out as he wanted to know just how much capable Zhao Zhang Wei was.

He wished that Zhao Zhang Wei would come up with a correct estimate. Because if he did then he would be ensured that he was not a wrong choice to be included in this deal.

But if he didn't then perhaps this deal would have to stop here.

Because he never worked with stupid and incapable people… especially when the fight here was for the throne.

"My Lord"

Xi Ying looked at An Si who suddenly had called him with raised eyebrows.

"Madam is not here today. Is Madam alright?"

Xi Ying felt a smile gracing his lips when he saw that almost every shadow guard present inside the room except for An Ju who already knew where Li Rui was, raised her head and looked at him waiting for him to answer An Si's question.

It made Xi Ying happy that Li Rui had won his shadow guard's hearts with his intelligence and calmness so soon.

A moment later, a sigh escaped his lips as he answered An Si's question

"She is sleeping."

An Si frowned for sure but didn't ask anything anymore. However, seeing the concern in their eyes, Xi Ying generously told them.

"It is normal for her to feel sleepy the whole day during this time."

The shadow guards bowed their heads accepting his words but Xi Ying didn't sense the confusion on their faces.

Was it pride that they could sense in their master's voice?"

What was there to feel proud of because Lady Li was sleeping inside her courtyard?

However, unknown to all these thoughts, Xi Ying was lost in feeling proud at this moment.

For the first time today, he felt that he was learning and he would be able to help Li Rui during this pregnancy.

When Xi Ying returned from the Imperial Court, he was surprised to be informed by his son that Li Rui was sleeping inside her room.

She had been sleeping for a shichen now.

It was very unusual for Li Rui to sleep this long in the daytime. So his son told him that he should call for a physician.

However, Xi Ying mocked his son and at the same time proudly told him what he had read in the book.

It was normal for Li Rui to feel sleepy since she was pregnant.

For the first time, Xii Ying didn't panic like his son and he was quite proud of this fact.

Li Rui's mention made Xi Ying's urge to see her and he dismissed his shadow guards. After a few moments, he then left the study room and went to Plum Courtyard.

"Madam is awake and is inside the garden with Liu Lan."

Li Hua informed Xi Ying.

"Did she have lunch?"

When Li Hua said 'Yes', Xi Ying was relieved. He was about to go to the garden of the Plum Courtyard when he paused amidst his steps and then suddenly called An Ju.

"Go and bring that old physician."

"Yes, My Lord."

And after that, Xi Ying finally walked to the Plum Courtyard.
