Chapter 197 - A Stupid Mouth

(Dear Readers, this is something that will come into your notice might a little later or it can also be possible that some have already noticed it, but I will tell this here so that the dialogues ahead will be easy to understand.

***When Li Na and Li Caihong are alone then Li Caihong always calls Li Na 'elder sister' otherwise she calls Li Na 'Second Sister'***)

---------

"How can Second Uncle say something like that? Second Uncle should remember the incident of four years back. That time, it was truly something big. Elder Sister lost something which is very precious to every girl. What if this time also…"

Li Caihong couldn't complete her sentence because she saw General Li's serious face as he looked at her coldly.

The next moment, she shut her mouth instantly.

Li Rong looked at General Li with an apologetic and tight smile and then dragged her daughter behind her.

On the other hand, General Li turned to look at his wife again and sure enough he saw that her face was paler again. His heart clenched with pain but he couldn't say anything.

Everyone, at least those who were walking in the front, heard Li Caihong's words and they started whispering about the incident of four years ago.

However, a moment later, they heard a cold voice that made them shut their mouth instantly.

"General Li, this Lord thinks that your family only one sensible and intelligent lady and that lady is this Lord's wife. Other than her, every Young Miss of Li Clan seems to be very dumb and foolish in this Lord's eyes."

The straightforward and blunt words doesn't matter whether true or not, made few women laugh who could not compose their expression.

Even Li Sying who was walking quietly beside her mother laughed while covering her mouth making Li Caihong glare at her furiously.

"You are indeed very stupid to laugh at when someone is calling you stupid."

Li Caihong snapped at Li Sying and her harsh and rude attitude didn't sit well with Third Madam Li.

However, Li Sying was now used to seeing her cousin sisters behaving like this with her. She knew that Li Caihong was afraid of Lord Xi. Since she couldn't vent her anger on Lord Xi, she was venting it on her.

So she didn't feel discouraged at all. Instead, she uncovered her mouth and didn't hide her smile this time.

"Third Sister, if someone calls you stupid then it doesn't mean that you become stupid. I know that what Lord Xi said was only for you and second sister. And I am happy because Lord Xi called Rui Jiejie a sensible and intelligent girl."

Xi Ying liked the young girl's words.

He glanced at her faintly and saw her clear eyes which made him believe that she really doesn't have any malice for his wife inside her heart.

"You are sensible and intelligent just like your Jiejie."

His words made the little lady smile and Xi Ying turned back to look at the front.

They were in Lianxin hall now.

He frowned when he entered the hall and didn't see An Ju standing outside Li Rui's rooms.

He slowed down his steps and when everyone was in front of him, he whispered lightly in the air

'An Ju'

However, no answer reached his ears.

A moment later, just a word but in a different voice fell in Xi Ying's ears.

'Safe.'

It was An Zhi's voice. Xi Ying knew.

Only after being assured that everything was perfectly alright, he stepped forward and followed the others. In between, he saw Zhao Zhang Wei looking at himself and Xi Ying raised his eyebrows in surprise.

It seems that the second Prince heard the voice exchange he had done just now.

Xi Ying could not help but look at Zhao Zhang Wei a few more times.

Only a very capable martial artist should be able to have such sharp senses..so was Zhao Zhang Wei also that strong?

On the other hand, Li Caihong frowned when she saw the young Eunuch leading the way to her sister's room.

'It seems that her elder sister chose her own room this time.'

Like every time, she just couldn't control her mouth and said

"So this time Elder sister choose Second sister's room to do something foolish."

Li Rong gripped her daughter's arm tightly to indicate her to stay silent, however, the work was done.

A heavy force suddenly pushed Li Caihong backward and she fell on the floor with her butt hitting the ground loudly.

"Urghhhh…"

Li Caihong screamed in a very unladylike way making the man frown and ladies laugh at her.

This commotion caused the Emperor and the Empress, walking in the front, to halt.

Both of them turned around and saw Xi Ying looking at Li Caihong coldly who was lying on the floor.

"Third Miss Li"

The words coming out from Xi Ying's mouth seemed to be as cold as his eyes. His eyes were sharp as he looked at Li Caihong as if she was just trash.

"If you can't just shut your mouth, then let this Lord know because I know many other ways to permanently seal a person's mouth."

As much as Li Caihong was feeling afraid of Xi Ying at this moment, she just couldn't tolerate her anger when she saw how people around her were covering their mouths to control their laughter. So Li Caihong opened her mouth again as if the humiliation she just suffered now was not enough.

"What wrong did I say? Your wife is inside the room that belongs to my sister. Remembering what she did four years ago during the banquet, I am sure that she did something like that again here. You should go and vent your anger on her, instead of me."

In Li Caihong's eyes, since Xi Ying was protecting Li Rui he was also an enemy for her. So she didn't think carefully before speaking.

People gasped when they heard Li Caihong speaking in front of Xi Ying like this.

However, in their eyes, Li Caihong was not bold but a stupid lady.

The stupid lady didn't end her stupidity here instead she murmured with a lowered head as she tried to stand up from the ground.

"She is no less than the women from those brothels…smearing the reputation of our Li Clan and then…"

"No…"

Amidst Li Caihong's stupid words, a shout was heard suddenly.

It was her mother's shout and Li Caihong recognized it.

She raised her head to look at Xi Ying and her mouth parted in shock.
