The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 128

Chapter 128 No More Pity
The afternoon wind blew in with a warm breath from outside the window. The curtains inside the room were raised by the wind, and Xiao Xi’s slightly cold face could be vaguely seen within the curtains.

Madam Li gritted his teeth and looked at Xiao Xiwei. His chest felt as if someone was constantly stabbing him with a sharp dagger. At first, he could still feel the pain, but at the end, he was completely numb. Even though she knew that the person standing in front of her was probably the person who hated her the most in the world, she really had nowhere to go, and Shearer was still waiting for her to save her. Thinking of this, Madam Li lowered his head and kowtowed to Xiao Xiwei desperately without looking at him again and again. The Xiao Xiwei in front of her was the last straw that she could grasp, and perhaps the only straw that could save her life. As long as she admitted her mistake, as long as she let Xiao Xiwei calm down, then she might save Le’er! Bi Jing, she and Le’er are sisters, aren’t they?

“Tell me, what happened to Xiao Xile?” Xiao Xiwei turned around and sat down in front of the yellow rosewood chair. He raised his hand and caressed the sharp and cold gemstone ring on his finger. His voice sounded cold.

Although Xiao Xiwei’s voice was cold, it sounded like the sound of nature to Madam Li. She hurriedly knelt down and moved to Xiao Xiwei. She carefully took out a crumpled letter from her bosom and handed it to Xiao Xiwei.

Bi Yun took the letter from Madam Li and respectfully handed it to Xiao Xiwei.

Xiao Xi glanced at Mrs. Li and opened the letter.

Mother. Help me. Yi Hong Lou.

The letter was very scrawled, only a few short words, but the handwriting was undoubtedly Xiao Xile’s.

Xiao Xiwei put the letter on the table and looked at Madam Li. “Is this letter from Xiao Xile?”

Madam Li nodded forcefully.

“In other words, Xiao Xile is at Yi Hong Lou?” Xiao Xiwei continued to ask.

Mrs. Li gritted her teeth and finally nodded lightly.

“Didn’t father send her to Shuiyue Nunnery? Why did she appear in Yihong Building? Then again, what is Yihong Building? Why haven’t I heard of it before?”

Mrs. Li opened her mouth, but she could not say anything. She could only bite another finger to write on the ground.

“Biyun, go, get the paper and pen.”

Bi Yun looked at Mrs. Li impatiently. Although she was unhappy in her heart, she still took out the paper and brush according to Xiao Xiwei’s words.

Very quickly, Mrs. Li wrote down the background.

Although Xile had killed her Ming’er, she was still her flesh and blood. Madam Li still couldn’t bear to see her suffer in the Water Moon Temple and wanted to bring Xile back, but Madam Qi didn’t let him try his best to collect the money from her, lock her up in the courtyard, and even find a woman to keep watch day and night. She finally managed to get Li Qingfeng back. She knelt in front of him and was willing to leave all her years of body to Li Qingfeng to take care of. She only begged him to go to the Water Moon Temple to bring Xi Le back. Li Qingfeng agreed without hesitation, but the person he didn’t want to send said that Xiao Xi Le wasn’t in the Water Moon Temple. She was both anxious and afraid. She asked Li Qingfeng to inquire around. Just at this moment, someone brought a letter to the Li Mansion to give her. She opened it and found that it was Xi Le’s letter for help. She hurriedly took the letter to look for Li Qingfeng. Li Qingfeng ordered people to investigate and discovered that Yi Hong Lou was actually a brothel by the Qinhuai River. She hurriedly begged Li Qingfeng to save her. However, she did not expect that no matter how much she pleaded, her brother would refuse at this time. Not only that, he even expelled her from the Li Clan because of Madam Qi’s provocation. But she was penniless, not to mention saving Xi Le, even if she could not walk to Yi Hong Lou, she really had no way to come to Zhong Yong Marquis Mansion to find Xiao Yan.

After reading the words written by Madam Li, Xiao Xiwei placed them on the table and looked at Madam Li calmly. “I think you’ve found the wrong person. Even the Li family refused to save Xiao Xile, so it’s even more impossible for father to do so.”

Madam Li looked at Xiao Xiwei, and a vague voice sounded from his throat.

Xiao Xiwei curled his lips and stared at Xiao Xiwei with his bright black eyes. His cold voice slowly sounded, “A girl from the loyal and courageous Marquis Mansion Clan will not appear in a place like Yi Hong Lou.”

Xiao Xiwei’s words were like a sharp needle, mercilessly piercing through the weak hope that Li shi Qiang had raised. Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment before she collapsed.

Xiao Xiwei, however, did not look at Mrs. Li. She supported Bi Yun’s hand and stood up. Then, she turned to look at Zi Yan and said, “From today onwards, there will no longer be a third young miss in the Marquis of Zhongyong Manor. You can go to the study room to tell father about this’unfortunate ‘news later.”

Hearing Xiao Xiwei’s words, Madam Li roared out in anger and despair. She suddenly rushed towards the table, raised her hand and swept all the cups and dishes on the table onto the ground. Then, she picked up a broken piece from the ground and rushed towards Xiao Xiwei.

“What are you doing?” Seeing that, Zi Yan reached out and was about to chop Madam Li to the ground. However, she did not expect that Madam Li would kneel straight in front of Xiao Xiwei and kowtow three times to her. Finally, she shed tears and stuffed the ceramic tile in her hand into Xiao Xiwei’s hand. Then, she gestured at her neck with her sharp face and said something vaguely.

“You want me to kill you to dispel your hatred?” Xiao Xi said as he looked at Mrs. Li.

Madam Li nodded forcefully.

“I didn’t expect you to do this for Xiao Xile.” Xiao Xiwei looked at the sharp tiles in his hand, and a cold smile suddenly appeared on his lips. “You said, if my mother was still here, would she protect me like you did Xiao Xile?”

Madam Li was stunned and froze in place.

Xiao Xiwei moved his fingertips and the ceramic tile in his hand fell off with a’pa ‘sound. Immediately after, her cold voice rang out, and a frightening chill suddenly burst out from her gentle eyes. “Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. However, I won’t save Xiao Xile either. All of this is your mother and daughter’s retribution!”

Right now, there was no turning back. Madam Li waved her claws and pounced towards Xiao Xi. However, Zi Yan grabbed her wrist. With just a bit of strength, she heard a’cracking ‘sound. Madam Li’s entire wrist was snapped by Zi Yan.

Xiao Xiwei sneered and took a step forward, “I advise you not to act rashly.” “Xiao Xiwei’s lips curled up as he bent down and reached out to pinch Madam Li’s hand that had been broken by the purple smoke. He stared at Madam Li’s red and swollen eyes and said coldly,” Then she probably won’t be able to become a prostitute or a woman! ” After saying that, she suddenly let go of Madam Li’s hand and straightened her body. “What are you still waiting for? Why aren’t you sending Madam Li to the Dali Temple? Remember, if you want to personally hand someone over to Lord Li of the Zuo Temple of the Dali Temple, it would be best … in front of Lord Qing Chang of the Dali Temple.”

“Yes.” Bi Yun replied and waved her hand to summon a few strong women. If Madam Li didn’t scream, she would have dragged her out.

As soon as Madam Li left, the chill on Xiao Xiwei’s body gradually dissipated. When she turned around, she inadvertently glanced at the words written by Madam Li on the table and Xiao Xile’s distress letter. The space between her eyebrows unconsciously knitted slightly.

Qin Huai was no less than a thousand li away from the capital, so why did Xiao Xile appear in the Yi Hong Lou thousands of li away? Could it be …

Chu Yanzhi.

Three words suddenly jumped out of Xiao Xiwei’s mind.

She, Xiao Xile, Chu Xizhi, and Chu Yanzhi all knew who poisoned Ximing. Could it be that Chu Yanzhi wanted to eliminate Xiao Xile in order to silence her? However, if he really wanted to get rid of Xiao Xile and silence her, wouldn’t it be much cleaner to kill Xiao Xile? Why would he send her all the way to Qin Huai?

I really can’t figure it out.

After returning to Prince Yan’s Mansion, Xiao Xiwei thought about it and eventually called Zi Yan in. “Zi Yan, send someone to Qinhuaiyi Red Mansion to investigate.”

“Yes.” Zi Yan blessed herself and walked out.

After an incense stick, Zi Yan led a person in.

“Princess, this is night.” Zi Yan walked to Xiao Xiwei’s side and whispered.

Xiao Xiwei had always known that Chu Xizhi had secretly nurtured dozens of hidden guards, all of whom possessed high-level martial arts skills, while Ye was the leader of those hidden guards, and his martial arts skills were the highest.

“Why are you here? Didn’t you go to Su Yang with His Highness?” Xiao Xiwei put down his teacup and frowned.

“This subordinate stayed in the capital on the orders of His Highness.” Ye said.

Xiao Xiwei frowned.

“Princess, Ye said … he knows about Third Miss.” Zi Yan whispered into Xiao Xiwei’s ear.

“You know?”

“Yes. Miss Xiao San was sent to Yi Hong Lou by her subordinate.”

“You?” Xiao Xi moved her hand slightly and almost knocked down the teacup on the table.

“Someone wanted to attack Xiao San in the Water Moon Temple. After saving her, they took the opportunity to send her to the Yihong Building.” Night’s face was as heavy as water as he repeated.

“Did His Highness order you to do this?” Xiao Xi raised her eyebrows slightly.

Hearing Xiao Xiwei’s wrong tone, Zi Yan hurriedly winked at Ye. Who would have thought that Ye would act as if he hadn’t seen it, and expressionlessly replied, “Yes.”

Xiao Xiwei raised his hand and picked up the teacup. His slender fingertips stroked the rim of the teacup, and his slender eyelashes drooped down, covering his clear and calm eyes.

“Princess, His Highness did this because he couldn’t afford to offend Third Miss for what she did to you. Please don’t misunderstand Your Highness because of this!”

Hearing Zi Yan’s words, Xiao Xiwei suddenly smiled. She looked up at Zi Yan and said, “You’re so nervous that I might misunderstand your highness. Then tell me what I misunderstood your highness for?”

Zi Yan was stunned by Xiao Xiwei’s question and didn’t know how to answer it.

“How’s she doing?” After he finished asking, a cold smile suddenly flashed across the corner of Xiao Xiwei’s lips. “Forget it, what can we do if we land in such a place?”

Ye looked up at Xiao Xiwei and said, “Her right ear is already deaf.”

“Does she know who sent her to Yi Hong Lou?” Xiao Xiwei lowered his eyes and gently stroked the ice-cold gem ring on his left finger with his right hand.

“I know.”

“Oh?” Xiao Xiwei raised his voice slightly.

“Naturally, His Highness Prince Shenwang.” Ye’s voice sounded without any ripples.

On the side of his lips, a cold and thin smile leapt up.

Being betrayed and trampled on by the person you love the most, Xiao Xile, how painful and desperate should your heart be at this moment!

“Don’t let her die.” Xiao Xi raised his eyes and calmly looked at Night.

“Yes.” Ye Ye answered and immediately retreated.

Xiao Xile, as I said, I don’t have the slightest bit of pity for you anymore.
