The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 143

Chapter 143 Xichun Humiliated
“What? Didn’t you all listen? Just this morning, Miss Zhu was found lying with Young Master Li in disheveled clothes.” Bi Yun covered her mouth and smiled.

“Young Master Li Manor? You’re not saying …”

“That’s right, it’s the nephew of the Hugh Li Clan who used to be our Marquis.”

“No … can’t be? With Miss Zhu’s temperament, how can she look down on the Li Clan’s people! Furthermore … Miss Zhu seems to already have a heart of her own, right?” As Zi Yan spoke, she secretly glanced at Xiao Xiwei.

She still remembered that Miss Zhu had provoked Xiao King Yan, then His Highness Xiwei’s fiancee, in front of everyone during the winter hunt last year. Later, the prince made her mistakenly think that Miss Lin Yushi was interested in the prince. After that Miss Zhu returned to the capital, there were many demonic moths that kept Lin Yushi from coming down. Everyone in the capital knew what Miss Zhu was thinking about the prince. How could she have fallen for Li Po?

“What do you want to say?” Xiao Xiwei raised his eyes and looked at Zi Yan.

Zi Yan hurriedly waved her hand, “No, no, no. How dare this servant say anything?” This servant is saying that Miss Zhu definitely doesn’t look down on the Li Clan. The only possibility is that this matter was set up by the Li Clan. . If I may say so, this Li Clan is really bold. They actually made an idea for Uncle Ping An’s mansion. “You must know that this Miss Zhu is the daughter of Uncle Ping An. She is usually extremely precious. Aren’t they afraid of provoking the Uncle Ping An’s mansion and stealing chickens won’t erode the rice?”

“So what if I get angry? I’ve already cooked a cooked meal by fire. Even if Uncle Ping An doesn’t recognize me, I still have to!” Bi Yun said with a smile.

“Even if Uncle Ping An’s mansion is mute, then Miss Zhu? We’ve all seen her temperament before.” Zi Yan said.

“But no, just because Miss Zhu refused to suffer a loss, as soon as something happened, she rushed over and kicked and beat the Li Clan’s Young Master. Everything that could be smashed in the room was thrown into a storm. Even if she didn’t want to admit it, she had to admit it.” Bi Yun said.

“You’re quite well-informed.” Xiao Xi said as he looked at Bi Yun.

Bi Yun stretched out her hand to clean her hair and lowered her head, revealing a snow-white neck. She knitted her eyebrows and whispered, “Didn’t you ask me to find A Liang and ask him to inquire about A Xiu’s father? I heard all this from A Liang.”

Xiao Xiwei looked at Bi Yun and couldn’t help but smile, “Yes, I let you go. It’s getting hot now, so it’s time for the people in the manor to change into summer clothes. Count the people in the Prefecture City and let A Liang prepare.”

“Yes.” Bi Yunfu answered. She paused, as if she remembered something. She raised her head to look at Xiao Xiwei and said, “Princess, then, Marquis Mansion …”

Xiao Xi slightly lowered her eyes to look at Bi Yun and said indifferently, “The Constabulary naturally has a wife worrying about it. You should do your own thing well.”

“Yes.” Bi Yun hurriedly replied.

Hearing Biyun agree, Xiao Xiwei reached out to support Zi Yan’s hand. “I’m a little tired. Help me sit in the pavilion.”

Duke Lu’s Mansion.

Lu Haiyang was sitting on a red sandalwood chair in the flower hall, beside him was Wang Shi, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites of the current dynasty.

“The marriage of the Ninth Princess has been arranged.” Lu Haiyang said as he picked up his teacup.

“Lord Lu, don’t worry. I have already checked everything. The dowry, the maids who compensated for the marriage, and the guards who escorted them have all been arranged properly.” Wang Shi smiled.

Lu Haiyang nodded his head. He picked up the lid of the cup with his right hand and slowly scraped off the tea foam in the cup. “Even so, we still have to be careful. We must not let Yi Qingxin off when the Ninth Princess marries.”

“Lord Lu, don’t worry. The Ninth Princess has Eunuch Yu watching her. She won’t make any mistakes.” Wang Shi said.

“I’m not talking about the Ninth Princess.” Lu Haiyang glanced at Wang Shi.

Wang Shi looked at Lu Haiyang in puzzlement. “What the Lord said is …”

“Princess Yan.” Lu Haiyang coldly spat out these three words.

“Princess Yan?” Wang Shi frowned and then probed, “Your Excellency, do you suspect that Princess Yan will do something to her?”

Lu Haiyang smiled coldly and didn’t answer Wang Shi.

“No way. This marriage is between Guan Dayue and the Northern Desert, and the Emperor is very close. How could Princess Yan have the guts to make a move on this marriage? Besides, there’s no need for her to do so.” Wang Shi was puzzled.

Although the relationship between the Ninth Princess and Princess Yan was not bad, Princess Yan was not going to bully the emperor just for the sake of a Ninth Princess! Unless Princess Yan is an idiot.

Lu Haiyang picked up the teacup on the table again, and a cold smile slowly appeared on his lips. “You said these words because you don’t know her.”

He doesn’t know Princess Yan, could it be that you, Lu Haiyang, do?

Of course, Wang Shi only dared to refute these words in his heart. On the surface, he nodded towards Lu Haiyang respectfully and said, “Your Excellency is right, Xiaguan has made a mistake.” After saying that, Wang Shi rolled his eyes and said, “Sir, there is one more thing.”

Lu Hai glanced sideways at him.

“Today, I heard news that His Highness Prince Qin seems to have contracted a cold …”

Lu Haiyang suddenly laughed. He placed the teacup in his hand on the ground with a strong smile in his eyes. “Oh? What a coincidence? Has the imperial physician seen it before?”

“It’s Wang Imperial doctor. He said that he’s fine. He only needs to take two doses of medicine, but His Highness Prince Qin is complaining about a headache.” Wang Shi smiled and replied, his words carrying obvious and visible ridicule.

Lu Haiyang leaned on his chair and stood up. He looked out of the room, “Looks like our Highness Prince Qin is not an idiot.”

“Your Excellency means that Prince Qin … has already realized our intentions?” Wang Shi looked tentatively at Lu Haiyang.

Just as Lu Haiyang was about to reply, a soft noise came from behind the door.

Lu Haiyang’s expression changed. He stood up abruptly and walked out of the room with two steps at the same time. Not long after, a figure was forcefully pulled in by him.

Looking at the woman who was thrown to the ground by him, the corner of Lu Haiyang’s lips curled into a sneer. “Does Madam have to hide in her own house and eavesdrop? If you want to know something, just ask her husband.”

Xiao Xichun looked up at Lu Haiyang. Suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips. Then, she calmly got up from the ground and patted her skirt casually. “Yes, can I eavesdrop on her at home?”

His eyes met, and no one retreated.

“Sir, this is” Wang Shi hurriedly stood up as he watched the two of them stare at each other for a long time without saying a word.

The corner of Lu Haiyang’s lips hooked, and he finally turned his gaze away from Xiao Xichun. “Lord Wang, then I won’t send you off.”

Wang Shi glanced at Xiao Xichun and hurriedly bowed to Lu Haiyang, saying, “I dare not. I will take my leave now.” After saying that, he hurriedly walked out of the flower hall.

After Wang Shi left, only Lu Haiyang and Xiao Xichun remained in the flower hall.

Lu Haiyang took two steps towards Xiao Xichun. He reached out and pinched Xiao Xichun’s chin. The corners of his lips curled up and he said, “Why doesn’t Madam speak anymore?”

Xiao Xichun reached out and knocked off Lu Haiyang’s hand. He coldly glanced at him and said, “I have nothing to say to people like you.” After saying that, he passed him and walked towards the door.

Xiao Xichun didn’t take two steps when he suddenly stretched out his hand and fiercely grabbed her wrist.

“Madam, why are you leaving now?” Lu Haiyang slowly turned around and looked at Xiao Xichun with a smile that was not a smile. A faint flame of anger floated in his pitch-black eyes.

Xiao Xichun turned around to greet Lu Haiyang’s gaze coldly. She did not say anything.

“It seems that Madam doesn’t want to know about His Highness Prince Qin anymore.” Lu Haiyang smiled. Then, he loosened his grip and walked leisurely past Xiao Xichun. He calmly sat back in his chair and poured himself a cup of tea.

Xiao Xichun, who had his back facing Lu Haiyang, pursed the corners of his lips forcefully. She shook her palm tightly and took a deep breath. Finally, she turned to Lu Haiyang and said, “How do you want to deal with him?”

“Him?” Lu Haiyang raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Xichun innocently. “I wonder who Madam is referring to by’him ‘?”

Looking at Lu Haiyang’s shameful face, Xiao Xichun felt a burst of disgust in her heart. She gritted her teeth and was too lazy to deal with him anymore. She turned around and raised her foot to go out.

“What do you think I’m going to do with this smart Prince Qin? Does he think it’s safe to pretend to be dead and hide in the manor?”

Behind him, Lu Haiyang’s voice sounded again.

Xiao Xichun’s footsteps froze.

“What do you want?”

“What do I want?” Lu Haiyang looked at Xiao Xichun and changed the teacup in his hand. He smiled faintly and said, “Madam, guess what will happen to me?”

Xiao Xichun glared at Lu Haiyang, his sharp gaze was like sharp thorns that had been poisoned, and he viciously stabbed towards Lu Haiyang.

If his gaze could kill, then Lu Haiyang had already died in Xiao Xichun’s venomous gaze.

Lu Haiyang suddenly smiled. He stood up and walked towards Xiao Xichun. The smile at the corner of his lips emitted a cold light of demonic treatment. He reached out and gently caressed Xiao Xichun’s fair and smooth face. His voice sounded cold. “What, are you angry? You want to kill me?”

Xiao Xichun forcefully turned around and dodged Lu Haiyang’s hand. The hand hidden in his sleeve tightly clenched into a fist.

A faint light flashed in Lu Haiyang’s eyes. He suddenly reached out and pressed down on Xiao Xichun’s head. Then, he lowered his head and fiercely kissed her red lips.

Xiao Xichun shook his head desperately to ask for Lu Haiyang’s imprisonment, but he firmly pressed down on him. Then, she heard the sound of her clothes shattering.

No! No! No!

She could hear the desperate roars of sorrow in her heart.

She struggled desperately, her hands constantly scratching towards that person’s body. However, when a burst of stinging pain came from her body, her hand that was waving in the air suddenly fell powerlessly.

His eyes were bloodshot.

Outside the house, a bird flapped its wings and flew at top speed.

She stared blankly.

His heart was as cold as stone.

Big sister, you said that as long as people live, there will be hope, but why do I feel that I have no hope anymore?

All the light was instantly devoured by the darkness.

She desperately opened her eyes wide, but she still couldn’t see the way.

Really, there’s no way.

Lu Haiyang finally got up from Xiao Xichun’s body after venting all his resentment and desire. He tidied up his clothes and looked at Xiao Xichun, who was lying on the ground with a deathly silent expression. The anger he had just suppressed was stirred up again. “What, do you want to die?” That’s not easy. The pillars in this flower hall are sturdy. Even Immortal Bao Luo won’t be able to save you even if he bumps into them. It really won’t work. Turn right and you’ll be in the lotus pond. “Don’t worry, after you die, I will let that Nurse next to you accompany you.” After saying this, Lu Haiyang sneered a few times and then walked out with big strides.

Large amounts of desperate tears gushed out of his eyes, which had long since dried up.

It turned out that she couldn’t even die.
