The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 127

Chapter 127 Call for Help by Death
The woman on the ground had messy hair and swollen cheeks. She looked up and saw Xiao Xiwei grabbing onto the corner of Xiao Xiwei’s skirt. Her eyes glared at her with resentment. She kept saying something vaguely. Under the broken sleeve corner, she could vaguely see the ferocious scars on her arms.

Seeing this, a few servants hurriedly pulled the woman away. As they dragged her away, they explained to Xiao Xiwei, “Princess, forgive me. I don’t know if this crazy woman is sick or what, but she has been rushing into our mansion. The little one originally wanted to drag her out and beat her up.” “But now, it’s not Concubine Zhou who gave birth to the young master. It’s not good to see the blood light. That’s why I let this woman take advantage of this to shock you, Princess. Please forgive me, Princess.”

“Wuwu … Wuwu …” The woman struggled with her mission as she forcefully opened her mouth and tried to shout something.

Xiao Xiwei glanced sideways at Zi Yan.

Zi Yan understood. She took a step forward and pinched the woman’s mouth. Then she loosened her hand in disgust and turned to Xiao Xiwei and said, “Princess, her tongue has already decayed. She must have been poured with boiling water or something like that.”

Xiao Xiwei lowered her eyes and smiled. A moment later, she raised her eyes to look at the woman again. “What a retribution! Li Qingmei, you never expected that you would end up in such a field, did you? Judging from your appearance, it was Madam Qi who did it?”

‘”Wuwu” Madam Li tried his best to make a sound, but he was unable to spit out a complete sentence. A trace of terrifying resentment burst out from his muddy eyes.

“Princess, she … she shouldn’t be …” The servant who was grabbing the Li Clan hesitantly said, a trace of panic flashing through his eyes.

They didn’t show the slightest bit of mercy when they attacked this woman just now.

“What are you panicking about? She’s just an abandoned woman.” Bi Yun glanced at the servants and said sternly.

The servants immediately stopped snorting.

Xiao Xiwei smiled gently and walked a few steps towards Madam Li. “You want to see father?”

Hearing Xiao Yan’s name, Mrs. Li, who had been suppressed, struggled desperately again.

“Unfortunately, father won’t see you.” Xiao Xiwei lowered his eyes and raised his hand to play with the ruby ring in his hand.

‘”Wuwu” The Li clan struggled again.

‘”Didn’t you hear just now? Concubine Zhou gave birth to a son for father. Right now, father is happily accompanying Concubine Zhou in the Rain Pavilion. How could he have the time to see you, a snake and scorpion woman? If you insist on making a commotion and letting father know, father will inevitably think of the future of his death …”

“What are you guys still waiting for? Why aren’t you bringing her down? Do you want Master to get angry when he sees that she remembers something unhappy?” Zi Yan pointed at the servants and cursed loudly.

When the servants heard this, they pulled Madam Li and were about to leave. However, they did not know where to take Madam Li. Thus, a bold servant hurriedly took a step forward and said to Bi Yun, “May I ask Miss, where are the little ones going to take her?”

Zi Yan was stunned and turned to look at Xiao Xiwei.

Xiao Xiwei did not even move her eyelids. She calmly spat out two words, “Li Manor.”

“Ah, the little one will go now.” With Xiao Xiwei’s words, a few servants swiftly dragged Madam Li out.

“Wuwu … Wuwu …” Madam Li’s sobbing voice sounded vaguely.

Zi Yan clicked her tongue and said, “Is this Li Clan really ruthless? Even if the Li Clan is divorced, she is still the Li Clan’s aunt. The Li Clan has subsidized the Li Clan quite a bit over the years. I didn’t expect that in the end …”

“She deserves it!” Bi Yun said disdainfully.

Do you deserve it?

Xiao Xiwei sneered in his heart.

Perhaps the Li Clan had indeed done a lot of vicious things to her and her mother, but they were also extremely benevolent towards the Li Clan. Without her, how could Li Qingfeng, a scholar in plain clothes, achieve his current position as a fifth-grade Dali Temple’s Left Temple Cheng? However, no matter how much the Li Clan did to the Li Clan, In the eyes of Li Qingfeng and Madam Qi, that was also true. Even though the Li Clan’s position as the Marquis’ matriarch over the past few years was of great help to the Li Clan, But there was always a hint of charity, The harsh and vengeful temperament of the Yi Qi clan must have secretly hated the Li clan a long time ago. If Madam Li had been able to sit steadily in the position of Marquis Mother, then she would naturally not be able to get angry. However, Madam Li had already lost her position. If Madam Li was smart, she would give all the private property in her hands to Li Qingfeng. Perhaps, Li Qingfeng would still care about the friendship between siblings and take care of her. However, how could Madam Li, with such a temperament, hand over those private property? In this way, Li Qingfeng couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable. In addition to Madam Qi’s provocation, Li Qingfeng naturally hated Madam Li.

All of this could only be attributed to the Li clan doing too much evil.

However, all of this was no longer important to Xiao Xiwei.

Now, when she saw Madam Li’s miserable ending, there was not a single ripple in her heart, because Madam Li was no longer important to her.

“Not good, not good” The servant who had just pressed Madam Li out suddenly rushed in. “Princess, husband … no, Madam Li, Madam Li, she hit her head.”

Hearing that, Xiao Xiwei’s expression subsided and he hurriedly strode out.

Outside the door, a pool of bright red blood curled down from the stone lion in the valiant marquis’s mansion, and Madam Li was on the verge of collapsing at the foot of the stone lion.

“This crazy woman, why can’t she just die here? Could it be that she’s deliberately trying to stop us?” Zi Yan said angrily.

Hearing Zi Yan’s words, Xiao Xiwei pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.

If Madam Li was really courting death, then she would have been courting death long ago when the Li Clan robbed her of her property and kicked her out of the Li Clan. In the past few days, Madam Li had been bullied and humiliated. Even though Madam Qi had burned her tongue with boiling water, she was still alive. This meant that she did not want to die.

“Miss, what should we do now?” Looking at Madam Li lying in a pool of blood, a trace of panic flashed in Bi Yun’s eyes as she hurriedly turned her gaze to Xiao Xiwei.

“Let someone inform father.” Xiao Xi said lightly.

“Miss.” Bi Yun frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Xiwei worriedly.

She was different from Zi Yan. She had lived in the Marquis Manor since she was young, so she naturally saw the relationship between Madam Li and Master these past few years. Her eyes were like this. If Master was soft-hearted for a moment …

“No defense.” Xiao Xiwei looked at Bi Yun and smiled faintly.

Looking at Madam Li like this, she suddenly wanted to know why Madam Li was so reckless and desperate.

Could it be Xiao Xile?

But wasn’t Xiao Xile at Shuiyue Temple? Although the people who were sent to the Water Moon Temple were tortured and their reputation was ruined, as long as someone was willing to take them out, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to spend more money to get them out. Although Xiao Yan had abandoned her daughter when he sent Xiao Xile to Shuiyue Nunnery, he had never thought of taking her life. It wouldn’t be difficult to save Xiao Xile from Shuiyue Nunnery with the private property that Madam Li had accumulated in Marquis Mansion over the years. Could it be that because Madam Li’s private property was taken away by the Li family, she came to beg her father? That’s not right. She should know that since her father sent Xiao Xile to the Water Moon Temple, she naturally did not think of taking her out again? So what did Madam Li do this for?

Finally, Madam Li was sent to the Marquis Mansion.

“The wounds on her forehead are fine, and the wounds on her body are fine. It’s just that her tongue has been scalded and festered. Even if she recovers in the future, she probably won’t be able to speak.”

When Xiao Yan heard the news, he happened to hear what the doctor said to Xiao Xiwei.

“What? Can’t talk? Who, who can’t talk?” Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment and couldn’t get back to his senses.

Just as the doctor was about to reply, Xiao Xiwei cut him off first. “Thank you, doctor. Zi Yan, send the doctor out.”

“Yes.” Zi Yan blessed Xiao Xiwei and immediately went forward to lure the doctor out.

“Wei’er, what’s going on?” Looking at Madam Li who was on the verge of death in bed, as long as her exposed skin was covered in wounds, her appearance would be extremely miserable. For a moment, she felt that it was very unpleasant in her heart.

“Father, you don’t think I did it, do you?” Xiao Xi looked up at Xiao Yan coldly and said.

Xiao Yan was stunned and hurriedly said, “I naturally know that you didn’t do it, but she …”

“Father, have you forgotten how mother died?” Xiao Xi’s slightly slender eyebrows raised, and there was a faint chill in them.

Under such a gaze, Xiao Yan felt somewhat guilty. All his words were blocked back, and he was unable to say a single word for a moment.

“Then what does father do now? Does he feel heartache?” Xiao Xiwei said coldly.

Bi Yun had just reminded her that there was an old relationship between Xiao Yan and Madam Li. She didn’t care at that time, but when she saw the concern flashing through Xiao Yan’s eyes, the anger in her heart couldn’t be suppressed anymore.

Didn’t he say that the woman he loved the most was her mother?

Then what is he doing to Madam Li now?

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and swallowed all the words. He waved his hand and said, “Wei’er, actually … Forget it …” After a while, she will be better and someone will send her back to the Li Mansion. ” After saying that, he didn’t even look at Mrs. Li and turned around to leave.

“Miss.” Bi Yun whispered to Xiao Xiwei from the side.

Xiao Xiwei didn’t snort and just quietly watched Xiao Yan leave.

If she hadn’t seen wrongly, what flashed in his eyes just now was … guilt?

Guilt? Who does he feel guilty about? Was it her mother? Or Madam Li?

Suddenly, a strange feeling surged up from his chest.

Xiwei, actually …

Just now, before his father left, he seemed to want to explain something to her? But what was he going to explain? Actually … actually what?

For a moment, Xiao Xiwei’s mind was in a mess.

“Wuwu” Suddenly, a few low and vague voices came from the side of the bed.

“Princess, Mrs. Li is awake.” Zi Yan sneered at Madam Li from the side of the bed.

Xiao Xiwei took a deep breath, restrained his expression, and turned to look at Madam Li.

On the bed, Madam Li was struggling to look around, presumably looking for Xiao Yan’s figure.

“Father, he’s gone.” Xiao Xiwei looked at Madam Li and said coldly.

Madam Li was stunned for a moment, then shook his head desperately, and his body fell out of bed uncontrollably.

“If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do. Since you’re fine now, then go back to the Li Manor! Remember, if you’re still courting death this time, remember to stay away from Marquis Mansion.” Xiao Xiwei said coldly. Then, he turned around and prepared to leave.

‘”No” Madam Li suddenly pounced over, but was forcefully grabbed by Zi Yan’s wrist. Then, he was thrown to the ground. The wound that had just stopped bleeding collapsed, and the bright red blood quickly soaked through the gauze. However, Madam Li struggled to get up and crawl towards Xiao Xiwei as if he hadn’t noticed.

Seeing this, Zi Yan was about to pull Madam Li away, but was stopped by Xiao Xiwei’s gaze.

Finally, Madam Li climbed up to Xiao Xiwei with great difficulty. She reached out and grabbed her skirt. She looked up at Xiao Xiwei. At this moment, there was no hatred in her eyes. On the contrary, it was filled with humble begging.

“Ah … Ah … Ah …” Madam Li tried her best to speak, but she could not pronounce a single syllable, and her muddy tears kept falling down her cheeks.

“You want to beg me?” Xiao Xiwei lowered his head and looked down at Madam Li indifferently.

Madam Li nodded forcefully.

“To be able to make you lower your head to me, looks like something really happened to Xiao Xile.” Xiao Xiwei smiled coldly.

Madam Li’s face stiffened, and he struggled to get up and kowtow three times to Xiao Xiwei. After she kowtowed, she bit her finger and wrote on the ground with blood instead of ink-please, save Shearer.

“Looks like something really happened to Xiao Xile.” Looking at the few blood words on the ground, a cold smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Xiao Xiwei’s lips.
