"Mother did nothing wrong."
Li Rui assured her mother immediately. She could feel her father's gaze on herself.
"Someone is there in Xi Manor to visit Xi Ying, Mother. We can't stay here any longer."
Li Rui's words were partly true.
Gu Li and the old master were here to meet her and Xi Ying.
Though her father gave them the place to stay yesterday, Li Rui had sensed his reluctance. He was uncomfortable with letting the people of an organization stay in his manor who was officially criminal in the whole Empire.
She would have tried to make him understand if the circumstances were different. However, for now, Li Rui thought it was better to leave.
Yi Jie looked upset but also felt that she couldn't insist anymore.
She sighed heavily and then said
"Then I will go and make arrangements."
