Chapter 678 Something That Rui Cannot Do



Chapter 678 Something That Rui Cannot Do

  Xi Ying soon came to know why Li Hua was so sure that her mistress would soon give up on sewing. 

  \'Why does it not look good?\'

  He heard her though she whispered to herself in a very low voice. 

  He wondered what she was talking about until she suddenly stood up from the bed and walked out of the room. Curious, he asked Xi Ling to continue studying and then left the room to follow his wife. 

  There, he saw, his dear wife giving the cloth to Li Hua and asking her what she should do next. 

  Realization flickered in his eyes because he understood that she didn\'t know much about sewing. She was still a learner. 

  However, the information worried him more because that meant she was not skilled so she could easily get poked by the needle. 

  Xi Ying frowned deeply and came out of his thoughts only when he heard Li Rui saying to Li Hua in almost a whining tone.

  "I was trying to embroider something."

  Li Rui said with a frown on her forehead when she saw Li Hua looking at the design on the cloth. The cloth was plain so she had thought of making some design so that it would look more beautiful. 

  "I wanted to embroider a peacock but…"

  Li Rui whispered 

  He saw how Li Hua was pressing her lips and her head was completely lowered as if she was trying to hide something. 

  However, her trembling shoulders gave away and soon he heard Li Rui\'s voice which pinched Xi Ying\'s heart because it seemed to be filled with hurt.

  "Are you laughing at me, Li Hua? Does it look that bad?"

  Actually, she knew that it looked bad but having someone laugh at her…it was more painful. If it looked that bad then her son should not wear this. 

  Li Hua also seemed to realize her mistake and raised her head swiftly. No trace of amusement could be seen on her face as she looked at her mistress and said 

  "No, My Lady. It looks beautiful."

  However, Li Rui was also an expert in catching lies especially when Li Hua had stayed with her for such a long time. 

  "Don\'t lie to me."

  She whispered as she took the cloth from Li Hua\'s hands with a deep frown on her forehead. Her eyes were filled with sadness as she held the cloth and said

  "My child won\'t wear this."

  Xi Ying could feel his heart being stabbed with the same needles that he was afraid would hurt his wife. He couldn\'t see her like this and immediately stepped forward. 

  Li Rui who was not aware of his presence was startled when the cloth was suddenly snatched away from her hands. 

  "Ying…"

  She almost shouted in shock when she saw him fumbling with the cloth. However, before she could snatch it, he had already found the spot he had been embroidering. 

  Xi Ying froze. 

  The figure on the cloth didn\'t look like a peacock at all. It …actually looked like nothing. If he had not heard her saying that she was trying to embroider a peacock, he would not have known what was drawn there. 

  He had been angry with Li Hua when he had seen her laughing at his wife but he suddenly understood why she was laughing. 

  Even he felt amused on seeing the figure on the cloth. 

  \'So, there was something that she couldn\'t do.\'

  However, Xi Ying was not Li Hua. He could easily mask his emotions. 

  The next moment, the young prime minister of Xin nodded his head seriously as he looked at the cloth in his hand and spoke a white lie.

  "That\'s a beautiful peacock."

  Li Hua didn\'t dare to laugh when she saw her mistress\' surprised face. She didn\'t behave like this usually. Li Hua was sure that it was because of the child that her mistress had suddenly started to behave like a child. 

  Actually, her mistress had never been good at all this. Many times, she had tried in the past, however, it seemed as if embroidery was not just her mistress\' thing.

  "Is it beautiful…"

  Li Rui asked Xi Ying again as she stepped forward and stood close to him looking at the peacock again. 

  Xi Ying nodded his head very seriously. His finger traced a part of the drawn figure of the peacock that didn\'t even look like a figure and he said 

  "Yes, you made a very beautiful neck. It looks like a beautiful peacock."

  The young prime minister lied so beautifully that anyone could believe his words but …if only he had been a little careful.   

  Xi Ying froze when he heard his wife speaking in almost a crying voice.

  "But that\'s not the neck, Ying. It is peacock\'s legs."

  Li Rui\'s voice was almost trembling as she continued.

  "You are also lying to me. I don\'t want to do this."

  Li Rui threw the needle in her hand on the table inside the living room like a child and then walked away from there.

  While Xi Ying\'s mask also fell down and he immediately tried to follow her. 

  Inside the room, Xi Ling who was silently reading the book was startled when he saw his mother walking inside the room with a not-so-good face and then lying down on the bed. 

  Then she covered her body with a blanket. 

  The small bun could feel that something was wrong so he left his book and walked to the bed. However, when he approached the bed and saw his mother\'s figure moving under the blanket slightly, his eyes went wide. 

  "Mother…"

  He tried to remove the blanket from her mother\'s face.

  "Xiao Ling, go away for now."

  Li Rui\'s nasal voice came from under the blanket. However, her voice also made Xi Ling widen his eyes with shock and he asked his mother in a concern-filled voice.

  "Mother, are you crying?"
