Although they were startled at the sudden change of direction of questions, they answered honestly.
"Yes, My Lady. Lord Xi arrived just yesterday."
For the first time in these years, they saw an expression full of despair and sorrow on their mistress's face. Only then they understood that Li Rui knew everything they were trying to hide.
