Xi Ying and General Li left the pavilion very soon.
General Li almost requested Xi Ying not to bring out Li Rui again until they were sure that she was completely safe.
Xi Ying just nodded his head calmly making General Li surprised.
He had never expected that Xi Ying would actually agree. Perhaps Xi Ying also seemed to realize that in order to calm the general down, he seemed to have agreed with something he said.
So he immediately elaborated but quite awkwardly.
"This Lord would never put his wife in a dangerous position, General Li. That's something which doesn't need to be mentioned."
General Li smiled.
Before he left, he patted Xi Ying's shoulder again.
Xi Ying frowned but ignored the smile he had seen on the general's face.
He calmly walked to his horse and then left for Xi Manor.
As usual, Xi Ying first went to Plum Courtyard. He smiled when at the entrance he heard his son's cheerful laughter.
