Xi Ying reached inside the garden only to find Li Rui's hand covered in soil as she tended to her 'special' plants.

A sigh escaped from his lips and he walked to pick the cloth from the table when he saw her standing up from the ground. 

Stopping to stand in front of his wife, he took her hand gently and cleaned them with the cloth. When Xi Ying raised his head to look at Li Rui in between, he was for a moment mesmerized by the glow on Li Rui's face.

One of his hands rose to caress Li Rui's cheek and he whispered in a daze

"Why do I feel that you are getting beautiful day by day?"

Standing in the corner, Liu Lan covered her mouth that had a smile and blushed slightly. She didn't want to disturb this good atmosphere and hence decided to leave. 

On the other hand, Li Rui was left flustered by Xi Ying's words. However, she pretended very well to look calm from outside and said

"It is natural to glow during this time."

"Hmm…I know,"

Xi Ying said proudly but then said in an intense voice.

"But you look more beautiful than anyone else. I can't help but want to eat you."

Li Rui's eyes went wide when she heard the last words. Her cheeks went red at the speed of her heart and she lowered her head.

Xi Ying smiled and didn't say anything else again. He silently wiped Li Rui's hands with the cloth in his hands.

It was not long before they heard shouts from outside.

Xi Ying frowned deeply and looked at his confused wife.

"It is that old physician." He told her and then continued.

"I sometimes doubt An Si's investigation result. From his behavior, he doesn't look as if he was an Imperial Physician once."     

Li Rui raised her eyebrows at her these words and couldn't help but say.

"Then you perhaps have not met Imperial Physician Sun yet."

Xi Ying looked confused and said

"What is wrong with that old physician? He seems fine to me."

Li Rui shook her head and remembered how childishly the old physician had behaved when she had gone to meet Li Na during the Mid Autumn Celebration Banquet.

Just at this moment, An Ju dragged the old physician inside the garden.

"Hey, girl….don't hold me like some sack. I can walk by myself and treat your mistress if she needs a physician."

An Ju however didn't listen to him and continued to drag towards Xi Ying.

"Tsk…such a rude girl. You won't get married to anyone this way."

This time An Ju turned to glare at the old physician coldly and the old physician immediately turned his head away to look at the front.

He was mortified to see that Li Rui looked completely fine and wanted to shout again. However, when he saw Xi Ying's sharp and cold eyes fixed on himself, he didn't dare to let out a single word.     

Xi Ying held Li Rui's waist and moved to the side with her to let the old physician have a look at those special plants.

Then he looked at the old physician and said indifferently

"From now on, you will manage these plants. If a single one of them dies, you will suffer the consequences."

Xi Ying said knowing very well that Li Rui loved her plants very much.

This reminded him that he didn't ask Li Rui before giving this order.

What if she didn't like the old physician taking care of her plants?

Thinking this, Xi Ying immediately looked at his wife but he saw that she was already looking towards the old physician with quite calm but suspicious eyes.

The next moment, he heard the old physician shout.

"Who planted these plants here?"

Li Rui's eyes sharpened and she immediately looked at Xi Ying and whispered

"He knows about these plants. Even the Imperial Physician in the Imperial Palace doesn't know about these plants."

Realization dawned on to Xi Ying and he looked at the old physician with narrowed eyes.

The old physician however was unknown to Xi Ying's suspicions and looked at him angrily as he said

"It is impossible to take care of these plants. No one can make them grow well in the kind of weather Imperial City has."

The next moment, the old physician had a wronged expression on his face as he said

"Young Man, if you want to kill me then do that…don't try to find excuses like this from anywhere."

Xi Ying's eyes narrowed again and he said indifferently

"I don't need excuses to snap that delicate neck of yours."

The old physician shivered and couldn't help try to cover his neck from Xi Ying's cold eyes. However, Xi Ying continued mercilessly

"Take care of these plants. When my wife can plant them then you being an Imperial Physician can't plant them…that is a big shame on you."

The old physician was left shocked when he heard Xi Ying's words.

"What…are you talking about? Who…is an Imperial Physician?"

Xi Ying ignored the old physician's words and said

"My wife will tell you how she manages these plants. Learn from her and take care of them very well."

The old physician's shocked eyes moved to Li Rui and he whispered

"You planted them…"

Li Rui was also looked at the old physician and she nodded her head calmly.

"Yes Elder."

Contrary to Xi Ying, she was more polite while talking to the old physician. Perhaps that's why the old physician's eyes softened for a moment but the next moment he composed himself and shouted while pointing his finger at Li Rui.

"Lies…how can anyone plant them in the Imperial City and make them grow well!"

Just when he finished, an angry but childish voice sounded in the garden.

"Who dares to call Xiao Ling's Mother's words lies!"

And then followed the sound of footsteps. 

The old physician saw a small figure standing in front of him and glaring at him angrily. 

"Is it you....Old Man who called Xi Ling's Mother a Liar?"
