The atmosphere of the front hall was less depressing after Li Qiang said these words and it only became better when Xi Ying nodded at Li Qiang.
It was a silent agreement that he didn't mind whatever Li Qiang said.
Yi Jie jabbed her husband and indicated him to invite Xi Ying inside. General Li rolled his eyes and stepped forward with a sickly sweet smile on his face.
Xi Ying looked at the old general's smile with a weird expression on his face.
"Prime Minister Xi, this General welcomes you in my humble manor. Please come inside."
General Li said too sweetly making his own wife glare at him.
However seeing his wife's glare, General Li smiled innocently and asked
"Why do you look so angry, my dear? Did not you ask me to welcome my son-in-law? I am just doing what my wife asked me to do …but still had to face her glaring eyes. Rui, don't you think that your father is too pitiful?"
