Why Was It So Difficult To Trust Him?

"My wife doesn't trust me, General Li."

Xi Ying whispered again as he looked at the thin and delicate shadow falling on the door of the study room.

"And I can understand that she has her own reasons for that. I have done many things wrong in the past. Four years ago, when y shadow guard lied to me saying that it was Li Rui who drugged me , I blindly trusted him and thought that all of that was Li Rui's plan. I ….I thought that you and your daughter wanted to use me to save your clan so I just did the opposite. I …I planned to destroy your clan with the Emperor." 

"Now I know that Rui was innocent and want to make things right … I can understand why she is wary of me. But isn't she doing the same mistake that I did? She trusted Princess Wenling's words blindly just like I believed my shadow guard and I do not blame her for that. I have perhaps never done something to gain her trust."

Whispered Xi Ying.
