The Dungeons

Xi Ying was able to save himself from his wife's questioning gaze in the end. He hurriedly left the Xi Manor with the excuse that he needed to reach Imperial Palace as soon as possible.

General Li who was sitting inside the carriage that had just left Xi Manor watched Xi Ying leaving Xi Manor hurriedly and couldn't control his laughter.

Lowering down the curtain, he laughed loudly while Yi Jie looked at her husband with a confused smile on her lips.

"Heng, what happened?"

General Li shook his head as he continued laughing and said

"Nothing…I just saw a lion running away in fear."

This confused Yi Jie more and she couldn't help but ask him.

"Who scared the lion?"

General Li stopped laughing as he looked at his wife with mirth in his eyes. 

"Who else can it be? It can be his lioness only."

Yi Jie chuckled at that. Though she understood that it must not be the whole matter but she was not too interested to know it.
