His Rui

Chapter 266 – Xi Ying Reveals Eevrything

Confusion still flickered in everyone's eyes after hearing whatever Xi Ying said.

What did Li Na do to anger Lord Xi like this?

It was only Yi Jie who believed Xi Ying's words and stepped forward to ask him.

"Lord Xi…what did Li Na do to my Rui? Do you know something that we all don't?"

Yi Jie asked with a nervous face as she looked at her daughter with the same questioning eyes who was confused herself unable to understand what exactly Xi Ying was trying to do.

Xi Ying looked at Yi Jie only once before he moved his cold eyes to look at confused Li Na.

"Four years ago…does Minister Li you remember that banquet in the Imperial Palace?"

Xi Ying asked Li Qiang without moving his eyes away from Li Na. He savored the fear and panic flowing in her eyes at his words.

He still remembered how panicked and scared Li Rui looked when she had seen him that night. 

Li Na who was scared and panicked glared at Li Rui because she thought that it was Li Rui who had told Xi Ying about that incident. She didn't know by doing this, she only increased Xi Ying's anger towards herself. 

He didn't even hesitate to raise his leg and kick Li Na away from Li Rui.

"Ahh…" Li Na screamed in pain as she hit the wall. 

No guilt could be seen in Xi Ying's eyes. He did not believe in respecting those women who do not have any self-respect.

"Li Na…"

Many shouts could be heard in the front hall.

Li Qiang was left furious by Xi Ying's act. However, before he could even show his anger he heard Xi Ying looking at him as he said 

"Your dear daughters, Minister Li, drugged my wife that night. Not only this, your dear daughters even bribed an Imperial guard to …"

Xi Ying couldn't complete his words. He breathed deeply to control his anger. He really wished to kill Li Na right now. However, he didn't want to give her an easy death also.

Although Xi Ying didn't finish, everyone present in the front hall understood his unsaid words. After all, four years ago, Li Rui had briefed everything in front of them to Minister Xie. 

She had said that she killed an Imperial Guard but Minister Xie never found any Imperial guard there.

Everyone had shocked faces. 

Li Na lowered her head and her body started to tremble under everyone's scorching gaze.

Yi Jie looked at Li Na with wide eyes and slowly turned to look at her husband with disbelief filled eyes. 

"Heng, did you hear what Lord Xi said just now?"

General Li's face was also cold as he stepped forward and held Yi Jie in his arms and looked at Li Na.

"Do you …have any evidence?"

Li Qiang whispered unable to believe that the daughters he had raised for so many years could do such a thing to her own sister.

Li Rong who was shocked by her daughter's silence immediately nodded her head at her husband's words and said

"Yes, you can't slander my daughter like this…without any evidence."   

Xi Ying didn't say anything. He looked at Li Rui standing close to him. She was too silent and looked too calm. He couldn't guess what was going inside her mind at all.

Will she blame him for breaking her clan because I am revealing everything she didn't four years ago?

Xi Ying suppressed the uneasiness inside his heart with much effort and clapped twice.

Li Rui immediately moved her eyes towards the entrance as if she knew that he would really present the evidence Li Qiang and Li Rong were asking for.

She saw two men she has not seen before bringing a very badly beaten man inside the front hall.

An Ping who had accompanied An Si inside the front hall of Li Manor glanced at Li Rui for a mere second and immediately lowered his head. 

Li Rui, on the other hand, was still looking at the badly beaten man.

Her eyes suddenly fell on something and they flickered with coldness when she looked back at the man's face.

One of his hands was cut. Now even if she couldn't recognize him from his badly beaten face, Li Rui knew who the man was.

After all, it was she who had cut that hand.

(Chapter-24, if anyone doesn't remember this scene.)

An Si threw the man in front of his master mercilessly and the man whimpered in pain.

Li Na instantly cowered away from the man with disgust present all over her face but because of her movements, she instantly felt a burning pain all over her body.

The kick was too powerful and she could feel the pain in her whole body with every single movement.

The woman of the Li Manor moved their eyes away from the man but the man still looked alright.

"Start."

Xi Ying said to the man and the man immediately started to stutter.

"It was m..my brother who had tried to r…rape Lady Li f…four years ago."

The man cried.

Suddenly his eyes fell on Li Rui and he cowered away in fear remembering the scene where he had lost his hand.   

Yi Jie covered her mouth when she heard the man's words. She had now no doubt in Xi Ying's words. Whatever her daughter said four years ago was true. It was not her hallucination.

"Continue."

The cold voice fell in his ears and the man immediately moved his eyes away and continued. 

"My brother…he was bribed by Second Young Miss Li and Third Young Miss Li. He had told me all this before entering the Imperial Palace that night."   

Li Na didn't dare to say anything at such a moment. She could not think anything. Her mind was clouded with fear as she saw her father's face.

Li Rong was still unable to believe that her daughters could really do something like that.

"How can we believe anything just like this?"

She looked at Xi Ying and said

"You might have forced this man to say whatever you want. I don't believe this. M daughters …I have raised them …they can't do any such thing."

Xi Ying raised his brows at Li Rong's words and Li Rui looked at Li Na who didn't seem to have any shame in her eyes after hearing her mother's words.

The front hall was deathly silent.

It was not because Xi Ying didn't have any other evidence. He just looked at Li Rui and waited for her to say something.   

He knew that she doesn't want to forgive Li Na. He knew his Rui. 

She doesn't have any mercy for those who are against her or her close ones.

Just as Xi Ying thought that she wouldn't say anything and was about to tell his shadow guards for another evidence, he heard Li Rui's soft voice.

"What Lord is saying is the truth."
