"My wife doesn't trust me, General Li."
Xi Ying whispered again as he looked at the thin and delicate shadow falling on the door of the study room.
"And I can understand that she has her own reasons for that. I have done many things wrong in the past. Four years ago, when y shadow guard lied to me saying that it was Li Rui who drugged me , I blindly trusted him and thought that all of that was Li Rui's plan. I ….I thought that you and your daughter wanted to use me to save your clan so I just did the opposite. I …I planned to destroy your clan with the Emperor."
"Now I know that Rui was innocent and want to make things right … I can understand why she is wary of me. But isn't she doing the same mistake that I did? She trusted Princess Wenling's words blindly just like I believed my shadow guard and I do not blame her for that. I have perhaps never done something to gain her trust."
Whispered Xi Ying.
