51 CHAPTER 51 : My daughter is fine.

Li Xi Rui is now on her way to the restaurant after her meeting with Rui Sheng. What she had gained are only more unanswered questions. The questions Rui Sheng had answered vaguely. "Only time would tell", Rui Sheng had said before he disappeared into thin air.

"Truly a person without manner!", she cursed the old man. As there was nothing she could do alone in the palace, she decided to leave.

"Xiao Xi, let's stop at the restaurant", Li Xi Rui suddenly said. The information from the old man Rui Sheng made her a bit anxious. She is afraid of her family's life, afraid of their future. In one wrong move, her fate will not change. She is not strong enough. If the people behind her family's demised possessing a great power, would she be able to retaliate?. 'Would we be fine this time?', her insecurities get the better of her. Would they be truly fine?

"Miss, but you didn't bring the veiled hat", Xiao Xi voiced out her concern, waking Li Xi Rui up from her deep thought.

"It doesn't matter. Would a veil really kept me away from nasty rumor?", Li Xi Rui replied. At first, she too didn't wear a veil. It was the day she save Xiao Xi from Miss Wei's punishment. But when the rumor gets nastier each day, she wears it to keep their gaze away. As if a mere cloth could protect her. No! She is done hiding! If they want to insult her, they could do it in front of her face!

"Miss…", Xiao Xi could only look upon her miss in sadness. If it is not because of her, would her miss be like this?. She too has been blaming herself.

Looking up to a pair of sad eyes, Li Xi Rui pinched Xiao Xi's chubby cheeks. "What are you thinking about?.This miss have never blamed you", Li Xi Rui smiled. How could she have a heart to blame Xiao Xi?. Patting Xiao Xi's head, she said, "Don't cry. A woman is the most beautiful when she is strong here". Li Xi Rui pointed at her heart. "Let's be strong together Xiao Xi", she wiped the tears on Xiao xi's cheeks.

"Yes Miss. Xiao Xi's will follow miss everywhere", Xiao Xi try her hardest not to cry.

"We had arrived. If they saw you like this, they would say that this miss bullied you. So stay here for a while. This miss can go alone", Li Xi Rui left the carriage. Xiao Xi had wanted to chase her miss, but she disappeared in the middle of the crowds. Praying for her miss to be alright, she anxiously awaits.

As the Wei hours (13:00 to 15:00) come to an end, Xiao Xi still didn't see her miss. Anxiously, she told the coachmen to tell the left prime minister and she went searching around the area. Her miss was just collecting her commission from the restaurant, how could she suddenly go missing?. This would leave another black mark to her miss already soiled reputation. 'Xiao Xi this is not the time to think about reputation!', Xiao Xi reminded herself. What's important is her miss's safety. This time is it her fault again?

While Xiao Xi is panicking, the Li mansion is in peace. The coachman had conveyed the unfortunate event to the left prime minister. But surprisingly, no one did anything. There are no search party formed to search for the missing Miss Li, and the Left Prime Minister also didn't show too much reaction.

"This Prime Minister knows. Go tell Xiao Xi to not be concerned. My daughter is fine", the left prime minister said while looking at the scroll in front of him.

'His daughter is missing but the left prime minister didn't even care?', the coachman is bewildered. Standing up from his position, he walks to the door intending to search for the miss himself. He would tell Xiao Xi to come back but he will go look out for the miss. If no one care about it enough, the miss still have him.

Running to the market, the coachman didn't even think about why a doting father would not even care about his missing daughter. Wasn't it weird for a father to not even be worry for his beloved daughter? Our coachman is a bit dense. He should just trust a father's love.
