Chapter 461 - Unity Of Li Clan Was Its Power

Xi Ying and General Li came out of the study room together.

When Xi Ying stepped inside the living room, he noticed Li Qiang and Li Rong sitting in the living room together but both of them had grim faces.

Xi Ying didn't see Lu Jianye everywhere and seeing Li Qiang's face, he suddenly concluded that Li Qiang finally knew about the condition Father Lu had put in front of Lu Jianye to marry Li Na.

Li Na was standing behind her mother with her head lowered. However, when she senses someone entering the living room, she immediately raised her head to check if it was Xi Ying.

Her eyes brightened on seeing him but disappointment flickered in them when she noticed that he didn't even glance at her.

Xi Ying was instead looking at Li Qiang who perhaps sensed his gaze and raised his head to look at him.

Xi Ying moved his eyes away when Li Qiang nodded his head in greeting to him. Last time, when he had visited Li Manor, there was great respect for Li Qiang inside his heart. However, there was no longer any such respect.

Before he had thought Li Qiang was a very intelligent man not to hold any grudge against General Li. However, now in his eyes, Li Qiang was more likely the man who followed his wife's words blindly.

It was not wrong to love a woman. Even he had done so. However, not listening to your own mind for the sake of keeping that woman happy…it was just stupid.

This kind of love couldn't stay for long because it was based on keeping each other happy solely where only one side stayed happy.

And here Li Rong was naturally the latter person.

"This Lord will take his leave, General Li."

Xi Ying said to General Li and then left from there immediately. He wanted to go back to Xi Manor also. It felt as if a century had already passed since he had seen his wife.

General Li was rather in a very complicated mood so he didn't try to stop Xi Ying.

After Xi Ying left, he sensed the tension inside the living room and looked around. His eyes fell on his wife who was looking at Li Na with blank eyes and he walked towards her.

Yi Jie smiled forcefully feeling her husband's hand around her waist.

However, when she looked at the front she finally said what he had inside her heart.

"Elder Brother"

She called out to Li Qiang who turned to look at her as she continued

"This time…Li Na had really crossed the limit. Asking my daughter's husband to take her as a concubine, what is she thinking inside her heart? Has she not done enough already that now she wants to ruin my daughter's marriage too?"

Li Qiang was left startled by Yi Jie's outburst. Yi Jie had never talked like this before. Not only, he but General Li was also left baffled.

Li Rong on the other hand, smiled coldly when she noticed her husband's shocked face.

She was not that shocked. She had already seen Yi Jie's true face when she had gone to meet her that day. Seeing how she had refused to help her in finding some better proposals for Li Na and Li Caihong, Li Rong could imagine Yi Jie behaving like this.

"Yi Jie"

General Li tried to calm his wife. However, Yi Jie shook her head and stepped away from him as she said

"No, Heng. This is not right now. My Rui had already seen very much in this marriage. I don't want her to go through any other pain or suffering now. But she…"

Yi Jie pointed her finger at Li Na and said

"She is adamant to steal Lord Xi from Rui. How could she even think that way for her own sister's husband!"

Li Qiang closed his eyes when he heard Yi Jie's words. As a father, he was obviously ashamed by whatever Li Na had done.

General Li tried to calm down his wife again. However, Li Qiang stopped him and looked at Yi Jie as he assured her.

"Don't worry, Second Sister-In-Law. It won't happen again. I promise you. Li Na will marry Lu Jianye next week."

"What?"

Two shouts belonging to Li Na and Li Rong sounded in the living room.

"I won't marry him!"

Li Na shouted loudly and Li Qiang immediately turned to look at her. His cold eyes were filled with warning as he looked at his daughter and said

"If you don't want to be on house arrest for your whole life then shut your mouth."

Li Na was left terrified on seeing the anger in her father's eyes. Her red eyes were filled with tears as she stepped back and hid behind her mother.

"Qiang…"

Li Rong opened her mouth to convince her husband. She wanted him to change her decision. Her daughter's life will be ruined if she married Lu Jianye. She had wanted her to marry a man who will stay loyal to her and won't have any other woman.

However, Li Qiang raised his hand indicating Li Rong to stay silent, and said strictly

"Not now, Li Rong."

"It is decided. Li Na will marry Lu Jianye next week only."

Li Na ran away from there after hearing her father's words while Li Rong looked at her husband with disappointment. Her eyes then moved to look at Yi Jie whose face didn't have any kind of regret and guilt.

"Yi Jie, how can you do this to my daughter?"

She asked Yi Jie with contempt-filled eyes. Yi Jie however looked indifferent to that contempt as she said to Li Rong.

"Elder Sister-In-Law, I want to ask the same question to your daughters. Why did they do all this to my daughter?"

Li Rong just shook her head and left from there.

A moment later, Yi Jie also left from there.

General Li and Li Qiang were left inside the living room.

Both the brothers looked at each other helplessly and sighed. But no one said anything.

The kind of times has been very less in Li Clan where the woman was standing each other like this. General Li sighed.

He suddenly felt that he was not completing his responsibilities very well.

He just hoped that things would get better after Li Na's marriage. Otherwise, he will talk to his wife and Li Rong.

The unity of the Li Clan was its power.
