Chapter 517 Such a Proud Person
Censor Xiao tried his best to win the battle, but ended up lying on his sickbed exhausted.

"Fifth Miss, he has really reflected deeply on himself."

Li Dui looked at her with complicated emotions in his eyes.

Yun Xi was slightly moved. Li Dui saw this and continued, "These days, he always mentioned you in front of me, full of regret. He, such a proud man, repeatedly admitted his mistakes to me, saying that he deeply regretted what he had done to you. He regretted not taking your mother away, and believed that you were the instigator of your mother's tragedy. His self-blame and regret even moved me."

Li Dui's voice gradually choked up. Yun Xi felt mixed emotions in her heart and said softly, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll just go in and see him. I won't say a word about anything else."

Li Dui thought she had let go of her worries, so he nodded and agreed: "Then I will go in with you."

Yun Xi touched her stomach and said a little embarrassedly: "I haven't eaten tonight. Can you make me something to eat? I'm hungry."

Li Dui was stunned and asked distressedly, "Why didn't you eat? You live in Wu'an Marquis Mansion, is it possible that you are short of food?"

Yun Xi sighed and explained, "The food was not short, but Liu Prajna also lived in the Marquis' Mansion and recognized the Marquis of Wu'an's wife as her adoptive mother. I felt sick when I saw her, so I didn't eat. I wanted to ask Aunt Qingyang to prepare some food for me later, but I forgot in my hurry to come here."

Li Dui smiled and said, "How can you not eat just because of others, kid? What if you get hungry? Okay, go and talk to him first. I'll fry some noodles and celery for you, and cook a bowl of seaweed soup. There's no one in the kitchen right now, so I'll have to cook for you."

Yun Xi laughed out loud when she heard that: "That's great, make more, maybe he'll eat some."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Li Dui agreed happily and turned to go to the kitchen.

Yun Xi looked at Li Dui's back and a trace of guilt flashed through her heart.

She walked up the stone steps slowly. Although this small building had been uninhabited for a long time, it was very clean.

There were only a few dead leaves on the ground. A row of wind lanterns were hung in front of the corridor, swaying gently in the night wind, with mottled light and shadow, and it was beautiful like a dream.

She pushed the door open and walked in. Two oil lamps emitted a dim light, illuminating the silent space.

She opened the curtain and walked into the inner room. There was only one lamp in the inner room, and the flame of the lamp was dancing like a bean. When she came in, there was a gust of wind, and the flame jumped a few times. Her shadow was projected on the wall, swaying.

Xiao Yushi thought it was Li Dui who came in, so he said in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine, you should go to rest early."

Yun Xi didn't say anything, just walked over silently.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Censor Xiao looked up.

When he saw Yun Xi had walked to the bedside, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he stammered, "You... why are you here?"

He hurriedly picked up a pillow and tried to sit up with it on his back, but he failed after several attempts and looked a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Yun Xi stepped forward to help him adjust the pillow, and reached out to help him sit up straight.

Censor Xiao rubbed his hands nervously and asked, "Why...why are you here?"

"Come to see you." Yun Xi stood by the bed and looked at him without sitting down.

His face was as pale as paper and he had lost a lot of weight.

His once dignified and handsome face now looked old and pale, with no trace of blood on his lips.

This was probably due to excessive blood loss. Even after being cared for for so long, he was only barely able to survive.
