The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 111

Chapter 111 No Choices
“Fourth young miss, this servant really can’t listen to you anymore! Second young miss, you should know how to not tell others about yourself! How can you say such heartbreaking words!” Bi Yun said angrily.

Ever since Xiao Xichun entered the manor, the young miss had caressed her everywhere. Every time the embroidered clothes shop made clothes and sent them into the mansion, they never left her share. They even pleaded with the master to bring her to the palace for the Qixi dinner. She was bullied by the three Concubine, and the young miss even stood up for her. One by one, even the slightest bit of conscience would not say such heartbreaking words to the young miss.

“If Second Sister is really like you said, then why doesn’t she agree to this marriage?”

“Young miss is doing this for your own good!”

“For my own good?” Xiao Xichun smiled coldly!

“Yes, my second sister is good to me, but what difference does she have between being good to me and being nice to dogs and cats? Remember to give a mouthful of food to eat, tease again, if you can’t remember, throw it in the corner. Besides, she didn’t have any motives for being nice to me? Third Sister grew up with her, and she still treats Third Sister like this, so what about me, the daughter of a concubine who has always been fostered in the country villa?

“You … you white-eyed wolf! Miss, she really treated you in vain.” Bi Yun was anxious and scolded Xiao Xichun regardless of the difference between master and servant. Zi Yan couldn’t stop him even if she wanted to. Moreover, Zi Yan did not really want to stop Bi Yun, because Bi Yun was telling the truth.

Xiao Xichun smiled gently and looked at Xiao Xiwei with raised eyebrows. “You see, Second sister, even the girl beside you dares to insult me so much. She also said that you treat me very well?”

“Chun’er, is this what you’re thinking?” Xiao Xiwei looked at Xiao Xichun and said calmly.

“Yes.”

A cold word.

Clean and neat.

For a moment, Xiao Xiwei felt as if his chest had been smashed by something.

However, she still did not believe that this was her original appearance. Perhaps, she was stimulated by Chu Muzhi’s words last night?

She looked at Xiao Xichun without moving her eyes.

In his long gaze, Xiao Xichun’s expression was still cold as he faced her gaze without dodging.

“Chun’er, you can vent your anger on anything! But, you can’t do it with emotions.” Finally, Xiao Xiwei spoke slowly.

“Haha” A series of laughter came from the corner of Xiao Xichun’s lips. “Angry? I married Young Master Lu to be angry? Then wouldn’t I be angry if I stayed in the manor and allowed Second Sister to dictate to me?”

Xiao Xi opened her mouth slightly. Just as she was about to speak, a voice suddenly rang out, “Who is going to marry?”

The carriage of the Marquis of Loyalty broke down on the way to Chao An Temple. As a result, Xiao Yan brought Concubine Zhou and rented a carriage back to the mansion. As a result, everything went in an unpredictable direction.

Xiao Xichun walked out of the flower hall. When he passed the pavilion beside the lotus pond, he saw Xiao Xiwei wearing a pair of moon-white cardigan jackets with a blue moon dress leaning against the railing pillar. He looked at the lake quietly. The wind blew from somewhere, and her skirt rippled like the waves on the surface of the pond. The long white jade pendant on her head also shook gently, making the profile of her profile very beautiful and exquisite.

She deliberately delayed for a long time before leaving the flower hall to avoid her, but she never expected that she would actually be waiting for her here.

Before Xiao Xichun could figure out how to speak, that cold gaze had already turned towards her.

Xiao Xichun took a deep breath and walked past the pavilion expressionlessly as if he didn’t see anything.

“Spring is coming soon.” Behind him, Xiao Xiwei’s indifferent voice sounded softly.

Xiao Xichun stopped.

Although the weather was still cold, there were many trees on both sides of the path that had green teeth. The sunlight above their heads was not as cold as in winter, and they could not feel the slightest bit of temperature on their bodies.

“Second sister, what do you want to say?” Xiao Xichun turned around and looked coldly at Xiao Xiwei.

The person on the other side did not say anything.

Just as Xiao Xichun’s heart was filled with anxiety, a soft laugh came from the corner of Xiao Xi Wei’s lips.

“Second sister? Since you hate me so much in your heart, why do you still call me second sister?”

Xiao Xichun’s face stiffened. After a long time, she opened her mouth blankly and said, “I just don’t want to leave a handle for you.”

“After today, do you still care about this?”

Xiao Xichun’s expression changed.

Indeed.

Today, in front of so many people, she and her elder sister had already tore their faces apart, which meant that they had already given the truth to each other.

“So, Second Sister wants to settle accounts in the autumn?”

The person on the other side did not say anything.

After a long silence, Xiao Xichun couldn’t help but feel a little flustered. Xiao Xiwei’s eyes were like the water of a lotus pond on a winter morning. They were wrapped in layers of mist, making people unable to see clearly, but they made people really cold and clear.

“If Second Sister really wants to settle accounts in the autumn, please take advantage of it. Otherwise, I’m afraid that there won’t be such an opportunity in the future.” Xiao Xichun gritted his teeth and said.

Xiao Xiwei smiled faintly and took a step closer to Xiao Xichun. “Chun’er, do you really hate me so much?”

“Yes.” Xiao Xichun’s eyes suddenly turned red. She opened her round eyes and glared at Xiao Xiwei, “Xiao Xiwei, when you were wearing silk brocade and eating delicious delicacies in the Marquis Mansion, did you ever think about how I came over these years?” You are also the young miss of the Marquis Manor. You are covered in flowers everywhere, but I, since my birth, have been disliked by my father and sent to the country villa to suffer from humiliation and pain. Even the lowliest servant dares to insult and ridicule me! I’m so sick that I’m about to die. Mammy Xiao ran to the Marquis Mansion to ask for help regardless of her life, but who cares about me? Even if I am taken back to the Marquis Manor, who in the Marquis Manor thinks highly of me? You were accused of marrying the Swallow King, and even Xiao Xile, who was driven to the Water Moon Temple, was accused of marrying the Prince of Shenwang, but I am? Have any of you ever thought about me? I am also the young miss of the Marquis’ Manor! But who among you remembers me! “Who has truly thought of me!”

“Chun’er, it’s not that I haven’t thought about you …”

“Of course you’re thinking for me! Aren’t you trying to win the Prince of Qin over for the Prince of Swallow? You want to point me out to him as a concubine!”

“I don’t want you to be a concubine.” Xiao Xi frowned slightly.

“Heh … not a concubine? Could it be a princess? Did you let the dignified Prince of Qin marry a lowly concubine born in Marquis Mansion? Who are you lying to! Xiao Xiwei, do you think I’m an idiot? Rather than being used as a chess piece by you, it would be better to be the princess wife of the Duke of Lu!” Xiao Xichun said coldly.

Xiao Xiwei looked at the pair of eyes in front of him.

Indifference, stubbornness, and a bit absolute.

No matter what the reason was, she had made up her mind to accept the marriage.

Xiao Xiwei slowly lowered his slender eyelids and sighed softly, “Chun’er, if you find that you regret it in the future, come and find me.” At this point, Xiao Xi paused slightly. “In my heart, you have always been my sister.” With that, she glanced at Xiao Xichun, then turned around and led Bi Yun and Zi Yan away.

When Xiao Xiwei’s back disappeared from the corner of the path, the coldness around Xiao Xichun dissipated and his entire body softened.

“Miss.” Nurse Xiao stepped forward worriedly to support her.

In this world, apart from Nurse Xiao, there was only Second Sister who treated her best. But today, she said such heartless and heartless words to Second Sister. Second Sister must hate her to death!

A teardrop quietly slid down his cheeks, and the hand that had been tightly wrapped around his sleeve slowly revealed itself.

Nanny Xiao lowered her eyes. When she touched Xiao Xichun’s bright red palm, she felt both sad and sad in her heart. “My good young miss, why are you doing this?”

Xiao Xichun raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face. She turned to look at Nanny Xiao and pulled the corner of her mouth hard. “Nanny, I’m fine. Don’t worry. Look, being able to marry a young master like me can be considered a high-ranking achievement. I’m too happy.”

She had no choice.

Ever since she was torn apart by Lu Haiyang in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, she knew that she no longer had a choice, but she was unwilling! She liked Chu Muzhi, and she liked him from the moment she saw him. But … when she heard Chu Muzhi’s words with her own ears, all of her unwillingness disappeared.

He doesn’t like her.

He doesn’t want to marry her.

That’s right.

An unfavored daughter.

A concubine daughter who had lost her reputation.

How could he be worthy of His Highness the High Prince of Qin?

She thinks too highly of herself.

It wasn’t until that moment that she suddenly remembered her identity. She was not the second sister. She did not have the background of the second sister, nor did she have the appearance of the second sister, nor was she as smart as the second sister. Why was she unwilling?

“Miss, if you don’t like it, Second Miss will help you.” Nurse Xiao gripped Xiao Xichun’s hand and said painfully.

Xiao Xichun coldly looked at Nurse Xiao. “Nurse, do you want Second Sister to help me for the rest of my life? No one in this world can help me for the rest of my life. The only one who can help me for the rest of my life is me.”

Ever since the day she entered the manor, it was Second Sister who had been helping her. However, she always wanted to grow up. Second Sister also had her own things to do. She could not always wait for Second Sister to help her.

Xiao Xichun did not say these words in his heart.

However, just because she didn’t say it didn’t mean that Nurse Xiao didn’t know.

Nanny Xiao looked at Xiao Xichun for a long time before she finally sighed faintly.

At this point in time, what else could she say?

As the willow trees on the roadside took out their first wisp of green buds, the depression and coldness of winter were gradually driven away by the early spring sunlight. At the same time, news came from the northwest that Ma City had been taken back by Prince Shenwang. However, the two young masters of Duke Zheng were nowhere to be found. As for Xiao Qi, he was loyal and brave enough to return to the capital to recover from his injuries. He also expressed his willingness to hand over the military power in his hands.

At this time, in the lotus pond in the backyard of the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion, the water rippled, and in the pavilion on the shore, Xiao Xiwei was wearing a light pink spring robe, holding a small bowl with a carmine background and blue flowers in her hand as she was feeding the fish.

“Miss, there’s news.”
