The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 121
Chapter 121 Xichun Marriage
Mrs. Li glared at Xiao Xiwei, her eyes filled with malice. “You … what did you say …”
Xiao Xiwei looked at Madam Li indifferently, then looked at Zi Yan and said, “Give her some money.”
“Yes.” Although Zi Yan was unhappy, she still took out a bag of silver from her sleeve and threw it in front of Mrs. Li.
“Bitch! I don’t want your money!” Madam Li picked up the silver from the ground and smashed it at Xiao Xiwei.
Zi Yan raised her right hand and steadily caught the silver that Madam Li had smashed over. She raised her eyes and looked at her angrily. She raised her hand and slapped her. “What the hell dare you insult our princess in the street! Someone, immediately drag her to the Dali Temple!”
“Go away! Xiao Xiwei, do you want to kill me in front of so many eyes! Why are you doing this! Why are you doing this!” Madam Li, who was behind him, suddenly lay on the ground and shouted at Xiao Xiwei’s back.
The streets were packed with spectators. However, no one made a sound. They all looked at the woman in brocade clothes in front of the carriage with suspicion and suspicion. The calm and collected expression on the matriarch’s face at the birthday banquet, The Emperor bestowed the wedding at the flower appreciation banquet, And then at the start of the year, at that luxurious wedding that shocked the capital, All of this made Xiao Xiwei the most popular girl in the capital. So, with her stepmother divorced, The controversy over her stepsister’s expulsion and her stepbrother’s sudden death was also quietly spreading in the corner of the capital. Now that Xiao Xiwei and Madam Li had accidentally met and Madam Li had said such words, it made people feel that this Princess Yan, who looked like a Celestial Immortal, was really not ordinary. Could it be that she was really a snake and scorpion beauty as rumored?
Xiao Xiwei stopped and turned to look at Madam Li. Suddenly, she lowered her eyes and let out a low laugh. The wreath pendant hanging from the golden hairpin gently swayed in her ears. A moment later, Xiao Xiwei finally looked up at Madam Li and said coldly, “What, do you feel wronged? Don’t you think you deserve to die?”
Madam Li gritted his teeth and glared at Xiao Xiwei with resentment.
“What, did you forget all the vicious things you did so quickly?” Xiao Xiwei smiled coldly. “Who has been in the manor all these years to break off the relationship between me and my father? How did the wounds on my forehead come about? Who joined hands with Madam Qi to destroy my reputation on the birthday of the Matriarch? And my mother, how did she die? Which one of these isn’t enough to atone for your sins? What grievances do you have?” ‘”But don’t worry, I won’t kill you! It’s not because I’m merciful, nor because your sins aren’t deep enough, but because death is too cheap for you. I’ll let you live, live well, live soberly, and live to feel the torture of your conscience!” Xiao Xiwei paused.
“Conscience?” Zi Yan sneered, “Princess, do you think a person with a snake’s heart like hers will have a heart? Where does a person without a heart have a conscience!”
“She doesn’t have anything to do with other people, but she still has some to do with her children.” Xiao Xiwei coldly curled his lips. He walked to Madam Li and squatted down. He held her chin and stared coldly into her eyes. “Madam Li, did you hear Ming’er’s question in Midnight Dream?” He was actually killed by you! It was you, your church and conniving at Xiao Xile’s evil intentions that killed him! What a good boy he was. His father said that he would definitely earn glory for Marquis Mansion in the future, but you and Xiao Xile, you killed him! ”
Xiao Xiwei’s words stirred up thousands of waves. Normally, although everyone below would discuss how vicious Princess Yan was, they never thought that there was such a hidden story. For a time, some people who originally sympathized with Madam Li would look at Madam Li with contempt.
“No … it’s not like this! It’s not like this!” Mrs. Li suddenly shook off Xiao Xiwei’s hand forcefully. She covered her ears and screamed, and tears immediately flowed out. “No … I didn’t kill her tomorrow, not me … not me …”
Xiao Xiwei slowly stood up and took a deep breath as he looked at Mrs. Li, who was on the verge of madness. His cold voice sounded above Mrs. Li’s head, “For tomorrow’s sake, don’t appear in front of me again in the future.” After saying that, she suddenly turned around and got into the carriage without looking at Mrs. Li.
The carriage gradually moved further and further away, leaving behind Madam Li’s desperate roar of sorrow. Xiao Xiwei sat in the carriage and slowly closed his eyes.
Many years ago, she respected the Li family as her biological mother and loved Xiao Xile as her closest sister. She didn’t hesitate to give Xiao Xile to them whenever she wanted it or whenever she had it. But, they? What did they do to her?
“Princess, everything is over.” Looking at the shadow under Xiao Xiwei’s eyes, Zi Yan reached out to hold Xiao Xiwei’s hand and said softly.
Xiao Xiwei slowly opened her eyes and smiled at Zi Yan. “Yes! Everything is over.”
She was no longer the Xiao Xiwei of the past. Everything was over.
A few days later.
Xiao Xichun wore a bright red wedding dress and kowtowed goodbye to everyone in Marquis Mansion. The large dowry wrapped around her slightly thin body. Because she hadn’t finished her wedding yet, she had married to the Duke of Lu because she was overjoyed. Therefore, she had to be simple, and very few guests had come to see her off.
The bright red lid covered Xiao Xichun’s face. Xiao Xiwei inexplicably remembered the time when Xiao Xichun got married … The bright red wedding dress was thick red and dazzling. However, she felt inexplicably sad when she saw it in her heart.
Marriage was originally the happiest and happiest day for a woman, but what if the person she married wasn’t someone she liked?
Outside the mansion, the dried fruit of copper coins kept coming out of the basket that the girl was carrying, and then spilled it out again.
In the crowd, Lu Haiyang was dressed in a red gown. Although there was a smile on his face, there was no trace of a smile in the depths of his eyes.
To him, the marriage was just a formality.
“Please get the bride into the sedan chair.” Xi Niang shouted.
The bright red curtain was lifted, and then the girl helped Xiao Xichun into the sedan chair. Then, the bright red curtain hung down again, completely separating the figure from his line of sight. ,
“Get up the sedan chair.”
The bustling and joyful sounds of knocking and beating began, and the procession that received the bride was getting farther and farther away. Finally, the sound of firecrackers could be heard faintly.
“Princess, let’s go back.” Hong Yu held Xiao Xiwei’s hand and whispered.
Xiao Xiwei lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, “Hong Yu, do you think I love Xichun very much?”
Hong Yu looked at Xiao Xiwei silently.
Xiao Xiwei took a deep breath and said, “If it were brother, I would definitely stop it no matter what awaits me in front of me. However … I am still selfish and do not dare to gamble.”
The price she had to pay to cancel this marriage was too high. She didn’t dare to gamble, so …
She gave up.
She knew that the Saber Mountain was the sea of fire waiting for Xi Chun, but she still did not stop him.
“Young miss, this is Fourth Young Miss’s choice.” Hong Yu said softly as she held Xiao Xiwei’s hand.
Xiao Xi turned to look at Hong Yu and did not say anything. He turned around silently.
In the alley in front of him, a figure stood quietly, looking at the end of the street silently.
Xiao Xiwei’s eyes widened as she walked to the person’s side step by step. “What are you looking at? She has already gone far.”
Chu Muzhi withdrew his gaze and looked at Xiao Xi with a smile. He bowed towards her and said, “Sister-in-law.” However, even he himself did not know that his smile was somehow filled with disappointment and bitterness.
“You should know that Xichun likes you!” Xiao Xiwei said coldly as he looked at Chu Muzhi.
Chu Mu was stunned as he looked at Xiao Xiwei and didn’t know how to reply.
“How can there be so many couples in this world who are happy with each other? It’s already good for couples to be able to respect each other as guests. Why can’t you marry Xichun?”
“Imperial Sister-in-law …” Chu Muzhi looked at Xiao Xiwei in panic.
Xiao Xiwei, who was questioning him like this, only felt that he was very unfamiliar, but most of it came from the bottom of his heart, those hidden surges that even he could not understand.
Yeah, why can’t he marry Xiao Xichun?
“Miss.” Hong Yu gently tugged at the corner of Xiao Xiwei’s clothes.
Only then did Xiao Xiwei regain her senses and realize what she had said. She raised her eyes and took a deep breath to force back all the tears that were about to gush out. “Sorry, I was selfish.”
What does it mean that there are not so many lovers in the world who are happy with each other? It’s good that couples can be respectful to each other. Didn’t she and Chu Yanzhi also respect each other in her previous life, but what kind of ending would follow? Why could she marry Chu Xizhi and Chu Muzhi not marry someone he liked? She was clearly too selfish and refused to do her best, but in order to feel better in her heart, she pushed all the blame onto Chu Muzhi. Xichun was Xiao Xiwei’s younger sister, so what did it have to do with Chu Muzhi? He just doesn’t love her! However, she blamed him for all of her mistakes. What difference was there between her and Madam Li?
“Sister-in-law Huang’s words are too heavy.” Chu Muzhi hurriedly raised his hand and bowed towards Xiao Xiwei.
Xiao Xiwei blessed him with a very weak expression.

“Royal Sister-in-law, I actually came here today to tell Royal Sister-in-law that Royal Brother might not be able to return tonight. Please don’t worry too much, Royal Sister-in-law.”
“What do you mean you can’t come back? Did something happen to Xizhi?” Xiao Xiwei was shocked.
Chu Muzhi nodded. He raised his eyes and looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, he raised his leg and walked closer to Xiao Xiwei. “Something happened to the Crown Prince last night,” he whispered.
“How did something happen to the Crown Prince?” Xiao Xiwei was shocked, but she quickly hid the shock in her eyes. “What do you mean by that?”
“The Crown Prince is poisoned.”
“How could it be?”
The Crown Prince was banned, and the Eastern Palace was heavily guarded by the Imperial Army. How could he possibly be poisoned for no reason?
Suddenly, a ray of light flashed across his mind.
“Could it be … could it be that the Emperor thought that the Crown Prince had done something to save his life? No way! Quickly bring me to see him!”
