Strangers In Xi Manor

It had been just a shichen that Li Rui and Xi Ying had returned from the fair. 

They already had a bath and were now inside their room with their son who wished to hear some story from his mother.

Li Rui had a book in her hands as she read the story in her soft voice while Xi Ying was seated on the couch reviewing some documents. 

The recently won neighboring Empire had many problems with it system. It made Xi Ying doubt the brain of the previous Emperor who was now detained by Xin. How could he as an Emperor initiate the war when the people of his Empire were in such a dire state? 

Xin would have to give a lot for the betterment of these people and since they were part of Xin, Xin could not ignore their state. 

The responsibility of allotting resources for their betterment has fallen on Xi Ying's shoulders.
