Xi Ying didn't go to Plum Courtyard that night.
He had his dinner in his study room only. He was relieved when Li Rui also didn't come to persuade him.
He didn't want to order his shadow guards to let her stay outside nor did he want to talk about what she wanted to talk about.
His wife had a way of talking …even if she doesn't…he was afraid that he would not be able to refuse her if she insisted.
A part of his heart was actually slightly angry and hurt as he wondered whether she thought about him and their children before asking him such a thing.
Perhaps he was also afraid that he would say or ask something bitter, he decided to avoid her.
However, he could avoid Li Rui because he didn't want to show his angry side to her.
But there was no such restriction for other people.
Hence, the next morning the ministers in the Imperial Court saw Xi Ying so furious for the first time.
