The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 13

Chapter 013 Confess To Oneself
Xiao Xiwei bit her lips in shock and shock as she looked at the two of them. “Little sister, are you … are you alright?”

Xiao Xiwei’s voice brought Xiao Xile back to her senses. She staggered to her feet and pushed Li Po to stand up.

Someone whispered, “Do you think Third Miss Xiao is interested in Young Master Li?”

Xiao Xile originally wanted everyone to think that Li Po had a close relationship with her, but she suddenly fell into Li Po’s arms. Since then, everyone thought that she was jealous and deliberately said that …

Seeing the surrounding people pointing fingers, Xiao Xile’s face finally became red. She pointed at Li Po’s nose and scolded, “You! You! You’re shameless!” After saying that, he covered his face and ran away crying.

Li Po’s handsome face was green and purple with anger.

“Sister.” Xiao Xiwei anxiously shouted at Xiao Xile’s back. Seeing that she didn’t stop at all, she couldn’t help but chase after her. When she passed by Li Po, she stopped again. She blessed Li Po Fu and forced herself to calm down. “Cousin, thank you for helping Le’er just now, otherwise Le’er would definitely fall.”

Li Po knew that Xiao Xiwei was trying to give him a step down and turn things around. Immediately, his expression became much better. He saluted Xiao Xiwei and said, “Cousin, you’re worrying too much. It’s a piece of cake.”

Xiao Xiwei forced a smile and hurriedly led the girl out.

After Xiao Xiwei left, Li Po coldly glanced at Li Lin and then turned around to leave.

Li Lin’s expression stiffened as she turned to look at Qi Yuerong angrily.

The person who asked her to push was obviously Wei-jie’er, but why did she push Le-jie’er into her brother’s arms instead!

Qi Yuerong’s face turned pale. She wanted to push Xiao Xiwei, but she suddenly turned around. She clearly didn’t push anything. For some reason, Third Miss Xiao, who was beside her, fell into her cousin’s arms?

Upon returning to the Marquis Mansion, Xiao Xile burst into tears in anger and grief, causing Madam Li to feel heartache.

“It’s all you! Didn’t you say that you wanted me to watch Xiao Xiwei’s jokes from the side! As a result … as a result … how am I supposed to see anyone now!”

Mrs. Li looked at the tears on Xiao Xile’s face and felt a slight pain in her heart. “Good, good, good. It’s all my fault. Stop crying. Once you cry, my heart will be broken. Don’t worry, mother has already dealt with this matter and won’t reveal any news!”

It was obvious that everything was planned, but why did Xi Le fall into Brother Po’s arms in the end?

Mrs. Li knitted her brows and stared at Xiao Xile, “Le’er, think carefully. How did you fall? Did someone do something to you?”

At that time, it was too chaotic, coupled with Shearer crying so hard that she didn’t have time to pursue it, but now, thinking about it, she felt that it was very suspicious.

Xiao Xile swallowed a few times and gradually calmed down as she looked at Madam Li. She lowered her head and thought about the situation at that time. Then, her eyes lit up and she suddenly stood up. “Someone tripped me! Mother, someone deliberately tripped me!”

“Who is that person!”

Xiao Xile’s eyes lit up as she grabbed Madam Li’s hand and shouted, “I didn’t see it, but Mother, it must be her! It must be Xiao Xiwei! Otherwise, she should have fallen into my cousin’s arms, how could it be me! Besides, she was standing beside me! Mother, you must make the decision for me!”

Mrs. Li’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and a smiling face suddenly appeared in her mind.

Thinking about it, last time, Chao An Temple had clearly arranged for someone to ruin her reputation, but in the end, the unlucky one had turned into Le’er!

Could it be that it was really that girl!

If it was really that girl, then she would have been fooled by her all these years! However, how did she know about her plan?

“Mother! Did you hear me?” Seeing that Madam Li hadn’t snorted, Xiao Xile immediately became anxious.

“Le’er, you heard about me. Forget it.” Madam Li stared into Xiao Xile’s eyes and took a deep breath.

“Forget it! Mother, what did you say! That bitch did this to me! If you don’t help me, you can forget it! Am I your biological daughter?” Xiao Xile pushed Madam Li away and shouted anxiously and angrily.

“You! What are you talking about!” Madam Li took two steps back and covered his chest, almost suffocating.

Nanny Zhu saw that something was wrong and hurriedly stepped forward to support Mrs. Li. “Madam, you must not argue with Third Miss when she is young.” After saying that, he turned to Xiao Xi and said happily, “Third young miss, madam is also doing this for your own good. If you think about it, this matter will be suppressed with great difficulty. If you want to find out, wouldn’t it ruin young miss’ reputation?”

Besides, if they really wanted to argue, wouldn’t the thoughts of Madam and Madam Qi be revealed?

“Then! Then I have to swallow my anger and suffer such grievances!” The more Xiao Xile thought about it, the more unwilling she became.

Madam Li took a deep breath and took Xiao Xile’s hand and sat down together. “Le’er, you are my eyes tomorrow. Mother has been trying her best to give you a good future. Whoever touches you will be gouging out Mother’s heart and liver. Don’t worry, Mother will help you get revenge soon! Mother will definitely not let you suffer for nothing!”

Hearing Madam Li’s words, Xiao Xile felt less panicked. She pulled her handkerchief and wanted to wipe away her tears, but the big girl next to Madam Li, Guizhi, hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in.

“Madam, Nurse Cui said that the second young miss did not return to Shuying Pavilion but went to the quiet garden where the old lady lived.”

When Xiao Xile heard this, she immediately stood up and said, “Didn’t she say that she wasn’t feeling well and wanted to go back to rest? Why did she go to grandmother? Mother, is she going to go to grandmother’s place to complain?”

Mrs. Li’s face sank, “Let’s go to the Tranquil Garden.”

Before they could reach the Tranquil Garden, Madam Li, who was supporting Nurse Zhu, suddenly pressed her arm and winked at her. Following her gaze, Madam Li saw Xiao Xiwei’s personal eldest girl, Bi Yun, walk out of the Tranquil Garden with a single glance. Her eyebrows raised and a layer of hostility appeared in her eyes.

As expected, this girl ran over to the matriarch to chew her tongue!

Thinking of this, she quickened her pace and walked into the Tranquil Garden.

“Matriarch, madam and third young miss are here.” Nanny Liu opened the curtain for the two of them.

Mrs. Li immediately saw Xiao Xi standing beside the old lady with a hung face. The old lady’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her face seemed to be filled with ill intentions.

Looks like this bitch really came to Old Granny Jun to stir up trouble.

“Daughter-in-law greets mother.” Madam Li smiled and led Xiao Xile to salute the matriarch.

Xiao Xi lowered his head slightly and blessed Madam Li uneasily. “Mother.”

Madam Li extended his hand to support Xiao Xiwei and smiled kindly, “Wei’er is also here!”

“Sister, didn’t you say that you were uncomfortable and wanted to go back to rest? Why did you come to Grandmother’s place?” Xiao Xile couldn’t help but blurt out when she saw Xiao Xiwei’s guilty look.

“Sister, sister … I didn’t say anything …” Xiao Xiwei took two steps back. A trace of panic flashed across his eyes, as if he had done something bad and was caught by someone.

When Xiao Xile heard this, she immediately exploded. She pointed at the tip of Xiao Xiwei’s nose and scolded, “I knew you didn’t have any good intentions. You deliberately tripped me and fell into my cousin’s arms. You’re still running over to Grandmother to stir up trouble! You’re shameless!” The more he spoke, the angrier he became. He simply raised his hand and slapped his face.

Madam Li saw that Xiao Xile raised his hand to stop him, but it was too late, so he slapped Xiao Xile firmly on the face.

“Scoundrel!” The matriarch slapped a few times and jumped up from the arhat bed. Her face was ashen as she stared at Xiao Xile, “You dare to hit your sister in front of me? It can be seen how domineering and presumptuous you are in the back! It seems that just keeping you copying Buddhist scriptures in the ancestral hall is too light!”

Madam Li’s eyelids twitched as he hurriedly tugged at Xiao Xi Le and said, “Le’er, what are you doing! How did mother usually teach you? How can you be so presumptuous to your sister for no reason! Why don’t you apologize to your sister!” As she spoke, she forcefully pressed Xiao Xile’s wrist.

Xiao Xile wasn’t stupid either, He immediately understood, She knelt down in front of the matriarch and said, ‘”Grandmother, please forgive me. Le’er is really mad …” Tears flowed down her cheeks as she cried miserably, “Grandmother, forgive me. Le’er is really mad … Grandmother, you have to help Le’er at the flower appreciation banquet today. Big sister deliberately planned to trip me up in front of everyone to embarrass me, and she even ran to Grandmother to cause trouble first.” Le’er is really mad … Grandmother, you must make the decision for Le’er! ” Xiao Xile said while crying as she knelt in front of the matriarch and tugged at her skirt.

“Grandmother, I didn’t.” Xiao Xile covered half of her swollen face and bit her lips. “I don’t know why … my sister fell into my cousin’s arms …”

“It was you who pushed it! Otherwise, how could I have fallen?” Seeing Xiao Xiwei pretending to be innocent, Xiao Xile was furious.

“It really isn’t me” Xiao Xiwei was a little anxious and hurriedly raised her head to look at Old Granny Jun. “At that time, my aunt clearly said that my cousin had gone to school. I didn’t know why my cousin had appeared in the garden, so why did he set you up and deliberately tripped you and let you fall into my cousin’s arms?”

“I didn’t know that you made such a scene at the flower appreciation banquet, lose all the face of loyal and courageous manor, don’t say, don’t know introspection actually ran here to falsely accuse your sister also dare to act against elder sister! How dare you! Originally, I treated the incident at Chao An Temple as an accident, but now it has happened again! He was truly shameless! My loyal and courageous marquis’s face has truly been completely disgraced by you! ”

The matriarch’s words were extremely serious, almost every word of it was enough to kill her heart. She was shocked and frightened, but a trace of doubt arose between her eyebrows. Could it be that the matriarch did not know what had happened at the flower appreciation banquet?

Originally, Madam Li wanted to conceal the flower appreciation banquet. Something like this must have happened to Xiao Xile’s reputation. She didn’t expect Xiao Xi Wei to go to the old lady’s place first. Since she couldn’t hide it, she could only pour the dirty water on Xiao Xi Wei’s body. But she didn’t expect that Xiao Xi Wei didn’t mention anything about the flower appreciation banquet. Wasn’t she lifting a rock to smash her foot and not confessing to herself?

Although the old granny was strict with her juniors, she rarely spoke harshly, let alone in front of so many people. It seemed that she was really angry this time.5
