His Rui

Chapter 512 Yi Jie’s Refusal To Stop Xi Ying

Chapter 512 Yi Jie's Refusal To Stop Xi Ying

Xi Ying's eyes were filled with despair, regret and guilt.

Everyone in the banquet hall couldn't help but look at him with surprise and shock. After all, it was the first time they were seeing Xi Ying like this.

"My Rui…"

Xi Ying whispered in a daze and continued while looking at the front as so many emotions filled his eyes.

"She was misunderstood by everyone because of them and she never said anything. Because when she said no one listened to her."

Xi Ying's cold eyes suddenly moved to look at Qin Wenya as he continued

"Because she was suppressed."

Sitting on her seat, Qin Wenya didn't even dare to move under the gaze of those cold and indifferent eyes.

Did he know…

But how could he know this!

Qin Wenya's mind was filled with so many thoughts.

She almost sighed in relief when Xi Ying moved his eyes away from her.

"Your Majesty"

Looking at the Emperor, Xi Ying continued

"Li Na and Li Caihong have hired an Imperial Guard to ra…"

Xi Ying's body trembled with anger as he continued after a long pause.

"To rape Li Rui."

A long silence enveloped the banquet hall.

The Li Family members closed their eyes in grief …, especially Yi Jie. A tear slipped down her eyes as she remembered how Li Rui had told all this to all of them but they never believed her just like Minister Xin who couldn't find any evidence for the same.

"We should have believed her, Heng."

Yi Jie whispered breathlessly and General Li immediately held her hand. His own eyes were filled with regret.

Indeed they should have believed Li Rui at that time.

The banquet hall was suddenly filled with all kinds of whispers again.

Lu Jianye who was kneeling on the floor was suddenly stiff. Slowly and slowly he raised his head and looked in the direction of Li Qiang and Li Rong.

He was still very confused as to why they were not saying anything while Xi Ying was busy blaming Li Na and Li Caihong for this and that.

It was instead Li Na and Li Caihong who had suffered in the last banquet so why were they not trying to save their daughters at all.

Unless…they have really done something like this…

Lu Jianye's eyes went wide when for the first time his mind finally started to work in the right direction.

Hiring a man to rape some other woman…

In Lu Jianye's eyes, such a heinous act, Li Na could never do so he immediately shook his head trying to shake away all these stupid thoughts with this.

He had wanted to stand for Li Na again as Lu Jianye saw the shock and disgust on his family members' faces also.

If Xi Ying really continued to say rubbish about Li Na in this banquet hall, then it would be impossible for him to marry Li Na.

However, just at that moment, Zhao Wang Lei spoke so Lu Jianye didn't get a chance to say anything.

"That is indeed a very big thing that Prime Minister Xi is accusing Minister Li's daughters of."

Li Qiang lowered his head in shame when the Emperor used his name for his daughters.

The Imperial Court went silent as everyone saw a thoughtful expression on Zhao Wang Lei's face.

"Prime Minister Xi, Zhen would like to ponder over your demand. Giving the right to decide a punishment for someone else is something that has never happened before. The banquet would be dismissed for half a shichen and Zhen wants Prime Minister Xi to present all the evidence after this half a shichen."

"This Lord will comply."

Xi Ying said immediately and with that Zhao Wang Lei dismissed the banquet for half a shichen.

No one saw the smug smile on Zhao Wang Lei's face as he left the banquet hall, the relieved one on the convoy's minister's face, a nervous one on Qin Wenya's face, and a joyful one on Zhao Zhang Wei's face who could not help but feel happy that he would be able to spend this time with his wife without getting disturbed by anyone.

This half of a shichen meant many things to different people.

But to Xi Ying, it only meant the delay in getting revenge for his wife.

Today, he will put a full stop to Li Na's and Li Caihong's plans because he had already had enough.

With a cold face, he left the banquet hall.

He needed to prepare all that evidence to present in the banquet hall.

On the other hand, the convoy's ministers also left the banquet hall one by one to go back inside their rooms.

The banquet hall was still filled with people who were whispering about the recent events.

There was no doubt that everyone was shocked.

The truth behind that incident of four years ago would be this…no one had thought this.

Amidst all these whispers, Li Qiang helped his wife in getting up from the floor and helped her close to himself.

Clutching her husband's sleeve, Li Rong walked towards her seat with a pale face. Her hands were trembling very badly.

Her eyes flashed with hope when she saw Yi Jie and General Li who were also holding each other's hands.

Leaving her husband's sleeve, she suddenly walked to General Li and said with a pair of eyes that were filled with hope.

"Second Younger Brother, can you please stop Xi Ying from presenting whatever evidence he has?"

Lu Jianye who was just standing behind Li Qiang and hearing everything froze completely.

What did Li Rong mean by those words!

Did Li Na really do that!

The way Li Na's mother was pleading to General Li, Lu Jianye couldn't help but find his belief in Li Na shaken a little.

On the other hand, Yi Jie slowly raised her head from her husband's arms when she heard Li Rong's words.

Her heart cooled down seeing Li Rong's pitiful face that didn't arouse any pity inside her heart.

And before General Li could say anything, she said coldly

"No, he won't do that."
