The dining room was very lively. Except for Li Hong and Xi Ying, everyone had a smile on their faces.

"Xiao Ling, here call me Grandmother."

Yi Jie who was sitting beside Li Rui said to Xi Ling sitting in his mother's lap.

Xi Ling has never seen the woman in front of him so he hesitated for a second. But when his mother nodded her head, he sweetly called out.

"Grandmother."

Of course, Xi Ling knew what a grandmother was. He had read enough in those books to know about these things.

So he earnestly bowed his head and said again.

"Xi Ling greets Grandmother."

Everyone's heart went soft seeing his cuteness. Yi Jie couldn't even control the wide smile on her lips as she proudly looked at her husband and said

"Heng, see Xi Ling called me Grandmother."

General Li would of course be happy seeing his wangfei happy. So he smiled but then turned to Xi Ling and said

"Xi Ling, I'm your grandfather."

Hearing this, Xi Ling again looked at her mother who nodded her head again. And after that, he greeted General Li also.

A new round of introduction and greetings started at the dining table.

No matter young or old, everyone introduced themselves to Xi Ling and then heard him greeting them.

In between Li Rui would forward the food near his lips so his cheeks were bulging as he ate and talked.

All in all, the young child looked very cute.

On the other hand, Xi Ying looked at his son who was foolishly becoming the source of everyone's amusement.

He looked at Li Rui who seemed to be happy seeing this so he didn't say anything.

General Li's words were still revolving in her mind so he didn't eat much.

After lunch, everyone sat in the living room.

The men were standing in a corner discussing something. Xi Ying was also there with them. But he had no interest in their conversations.

After every few seconds, he will look towards Li Rui who was sitting with her mothers and sisters.

"Does Prime Minister Xi treat you well?"

Yi Jie asked Li Rui holding her hand.

Li Rui was silent for a second and then nodded her head. Seeing this, Yi Jie didn't ask any more questions.

Although she doesn't know what changed between her daughter and Lord Xi, she could see that he really was treating her better.

"Good. It's good that Xi Ling can have his father and mother's, love."

Li Rui knew what her mother meant.

She looked towards Xi Ling who was in Li Diu's arms currently. She could still feel the gaze burning behind her back, constantly.

However, when she turned around he had already turned his head perhaps already knowing that she will turn around.

"Mother"

When she turned back her face she found Xi Ling standing in front of her.

"Mother, can Xi Ling go with uncle to play with horses?"

She glanced towards Li Diu and Yi Lei who blinked their eyes to assure her they would take care of Xi Ling. So she allowed Xi Ling to go with them.

Just after Xi Ling went out of the living room, Yi Junjie stepped inside.

It was the group of men who first noticed him.

As he greeted General Li and the others, Yi Junjie's gaze stopped at Xi Ying. His eyes flickered with a surprise for a moment and then he nodded his head which was reciprocated in the same way by Xi Ying.

The discussions started again. While everyone was busy in talking, Yi Junjie looked around the room and his sight finally found Li Rui.

He was not involved much in the discussion so without any excuse, he raised his foot to walk towards Li Rui.

However, he had taken only a one-step when his way was suddenly blocked by someone. Raising his head, he saw Xi Ying's cold eyes fixed on him.

"Where does Lord Yi wish to go? Can this Lord also accompany you?"

Xi Ying asked nonchalantly to Yi Junjie.

Yi Junjie stared at Xi Ying for a few moments and then nodded his head.

"Let's go to the gardens if Minister Xi doesn't mind. "

A few minutes later, Yi Junjie and Xi Ying were strolling in the Li Manor's gardens side by side.

No one said anything.

It was Yi Junjie who first stopped and turned to look at Xi Ying seriously.

"Prime Minister Xi, what are you trying to do?"

Xi Ying smiled and pretended to be confused as he asked

"What is Lord Yi implying? This Lord didn't get it."

Yi Junjie sharply looked at the smiling Minister and elaborated.

"You saved Uncle Li and for that, you even went against the Emperor. Why?"

Yi Junjie, of course, knew that it was Xi Ying who had provoked soldiers by doing something.

"What does Lord Yi think?"

Xi Ying threw the question back on Yi Junjie.

Yi Junjie smirked as he looked at Xi Ying and said

"Well, if Lord Xi wishes to know what I think then I will say that…"

His eyes were cold as he continued his next words

"It is Lord Xi's some other plan. Perhaps Lord Xi and Emperor together are trying to make a fool out of Li Clan by making them believe you. And when they will be in their most vulnerable point you will stab them in their back."

"Stabbing in the back?"

Xi Ying raised his eyebrows seemingly amused by his words. He then looked at Yi Junjie and said lazily.

"It's not something that this Lord does. And if this Lord really wish to destroy Li Clan so badly then I would not have wasted my time in doing this entire pretense. The Li Clan has already been destroyed until now."

Yi Junjie's scrutinizing eyes examined his each and every expression. The next moment he asked full of confusion

"Then why did Lord Xi protect Li Clan and General Li?"

Xi Ying turned to look at the trees and said casually.

"This Lord doesn't find it necessary to tell you everything I do, Lord Yi."

"What this Lord just wanted to tell you was, now you can remove your people from Xi Manor. This Lord can protect his Wangfei by himself."

Saying this, Xi Ying has just stepped forward when he heard Yi Junjie saying something and stopped.

"And you believe that I will trust your words and remove my man."

It was predictable that Yi Junjie was no longer in the mood of any pretense so he was talking without using any honorifics.

"Four years. For four years, Rui lived in Xi Manor and you have always ignored her. And now suddenly you wish to become a good husband to her. How do you think I will leave her alone to live with you?"

Xi Ying's were cold and indifferent after Yi Junjie finished his words. He turned around and looked at Yi Junjie's eyes sharply.

"Believe me, Lord Yi if you didn't remove your people from Xi Manor right now, I am very capable to do that myself. And about Rui, she is my Wangfei so you don't need to worry about her from today."

The two men glared at each other for a long time.

"I'll remove my man."

It was Yi Junjie who first conceded.

"However, if I found out that you are planning something else then I will take her away. And you won't be able to stop me, that I promise you."

His words only made Xi Ying furious. His fists clenched whenever Yi Junjie took Rui's name from his mouth.

"By what relation you are threatening me, Lord Yi, if I may know?"

Yi Junjie's silence made Xi Ying more irritated. He knew that Yi Junjie doesn't accept himself as Rui's elder brother. His feelings for Rui were more than that of an elder brother. That's the reason he doesn't want him to stay around Li Rui anymore.

He just wanted to go back and take Li Rui with him to Xi Manor back.

So he raised his foot and left the garden instantly.
