Bab 691: Li Rui Defending Xi Ying (2)

Xi Ying's words surely brought General Li a great relief but the remembrance of the information he had since a few moments ago completely replaced that relief very soon. 

He looked at the young prime minister with a grim face and said in a very disappointing tone. 

"This General had not expected this from you, Prime Minister Xi."

He had thought that his secret was safe with Xi Ying but now he knew that he had been wrong. 

On the other hand, Li Rui frowned when she looked at her silent husband. She couldn't help but remember how defeated and regretful he had been looking last night. 

Last night surely changed something inside her for Xi Ying. 

It made her feel protective of him. Perhaps that's why she couldn't stop herself from defending Xi Ying in front of her father.

"Father, it is very easy to blame him. Rui is sure that whatever he did, he must have some reason behind it."
