The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 17

Chapter 017 Things Are Reversed
Xiao Xiwei was shocked, and her face became even more pale. When she saw the words on the puppet, she was completely dumbfounded, “Impossible … Impossible … Impossible …”

“The hatred in your heart is really so deep, even your father … you really disappoint me!” The matriarch pointed at Xiao Xiwei, and the suppressed anger in her chest made her speechless.

“It’s not me! Grandmother! I didn’t do it! You have to believe me!” Xiao Xiwei pounced over and grabbed the hem of the old lady’s skirt as she cried mournfully.

“Second young miss, the words on this puppet are clearly yours!” Madam Li, who was standing beside Nurse Zhu, interrupted without missing an opportunity.

“No! I didn’t write this!” Xiao Xiwei suddenly seemed to recall something. She hurriedly raised her head to look at the old lady and said, “Grandmother, I didn’t write this word. I accidentally burned my arm while drinking tea. I simply couldn’t hold a pen … Yes, someone was trying to frame me! Grandmother!” After saying that, she hurriedly stood up and stretched out her hand to lift the sleeve of her right hand. She only saw that there was a thick layer of gauze wrapped around her arm. Because she was wearing a wide sleeve robe, it was not obvious.

Madam Li’s eyelids twitched. Why was there such a thing?

Mrs. Li glanced at Nanny Cui without a trace.

Granny Cui’s face was also filled with surprise, as if she knew that Xiao Xi was slightly injured.

If she was so hurt that she couldn’t even write, then Nanny Cui should know? Besides, she had always sent people to keep an eye on the movements of the Sparse Shadow Pavilion. If she was really injured so badly, she should naturally invite a doctor to take a look. However, she had not seen any doctor enter the manor these past few days?

Thinking of this, Madam Li took a concerned step forward and said, “Wei’er, you’ve been injured for so long, why don’t you tell your mother? Mother can also invite a doctor to take a look for you. What if the wound is infected and there are scars in the future? Guizhi, quickly take my invitation and invite Doctor Zhang from the south of the city.”

As soon as Madam Li finished speaking, Hong Yu, who was beside Xiao Xiwei, knelt down in panic. “Madam, forgive me …”

“What are you doing?” Madam Li stared at Hong Yu suspiciously.

Hong Yu became even more terrified. “The wound on Miss’s hand was caused by this servant … it was accidentally burned by this servant, but Miss was afraid that if she asked the doctor to let Madam know that this servant would be sold out, so … that’s why she kept it a secret … but Madam, I, I really didn’t mean to …”

“Red Rain” Xiao Xi looked at Red Rain with a trace of surprise flashing through his eyes.

Madam Li originally had some doubts in her heart, but at this moment, a little girl would suddenly jump out to excuse Xiao Xiwei, which made her feel relieved. If it wasn’t for the ghost, why would this little girl jump out and try to stop her cousin doctor?

“How dare you! Do you know that it’s a big crime for you to help Miss conceal this matter? If you are mistaken, even if you die, you won’t be able to atone for it!” Madam Li shouted harshly. Finally, he turned to look at the cinnamon branch and said, “What are you still waiting for? Why don’t you invite Doctor Zhang over?”

Xiao Xiwei lowered her eyes and looked at Madam Li, who was so proud that she had forgotten to pretend to be sick. A cold smile flashed in her heart.

It seemed that she really thought that she could not escape the blame.

She remembered that at this time in her previous life, She had her clothes torn by ruffians at Chao An Temple because of a series of designs by Madam Li, After that, the Li Clan fell into Li Po’s embrace in front of everyone and was punished by Xiao Yan and locked up in the ancestral hall for a month. Not long after, a Taoist nun suddenly came to her house and said that there was something dirty in the mansion. Then, she led everyone to dig out a silvery needle-tied puppet from the plum tree in her courtyard. The date of birth on the puppet was precisely that of her father Xiao Yan. The words on the puppet were surprisingly her handwriting. Even she herself could not explain why. At that time, everyone thought that she had cursed her father because she was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall a while ago, and her father, Xiao Yan, was even angrier. At that time, he gave her a slap and even used his family law. If it wasn’t for the plea of the fourth prince, Chu Yanzhi, she would probably have been beaten to death right now. A year later, not long after she married into the fourth prince’s mansion, her father, Xiao Yan, suddenly died of a sudden illness, and Madam Li spread the word that her life violated the Heavenly Fiend and killed her parents … At that time, she still remembered Chu Yanzhi hugging her and saying that he didn’t care about anything, but in the end …

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiwei slowly closed his eyes and tried his best to suppress the infinite anger and resentment that surged out of his chest.

One day, she will definitely make these people who hurt her pay the price they deserve.

When she opened her eyes again, Xiao Xiwei’s eyes had regained their calm.

Now that she had done it all over again, she naturally wouldn’t let history repeat itself! Didn’t Madam Li say that her heart was ruthless and she used voodoo Gu techniques to curse people? Then today, she will use this voodoo insect technique to let her have a good look!

After an incense stick, Guizhi brought Doctor Zhang over, along with Xiao Xiwei’s father, Xiao Yan.

“Master, you’re here.” Upon seeing Xiao Yan, Madam Li hurriedly greeted him. .

Xiao Yan didn’t even look at Mrs. Li. He walked a few steps to Xiao Xiwei and raised his hand to slap her in the face. “Evil beast, how did I give birth to your unfilial and vicious daughter!”

“Father” Xiao Xiwei knelt on the ground with a’pu ‘sound, and tears of grievance kept falling down her cheeks.

“Alright, this matter has not been decided yet.” Seeing the bright red palm print on Xiao Xiwei’s face, the matriarch frowned and said.

After the initial shock and anger, the matriarch had calmed down and thought about the matter before and after. Suddenly, she realized that there were many things wrong.

“Master, let the doctor take a look at Xiwei’s injuries first.” Madam Li hurriedly advised.

Xiao Yan snorted coldly, flicked his long sleeve, and sat down on the chair angrily.

Mrs. Li slightly raised the corner of her mouth, then turned to look at Doctor Zhang and earnestly said, “Doctor Zhang, my Wei’er has been burned by the tea for a few days, but I’m afraid we’ve been worried that we haven’t invited a doctor to take a look. Please take a look for my Wei’er and see if the wound is infected.”

Mrs. Li’s words were clearly a hint that she wasn’t pretending to be sick.

After hearing Madam Li’s words, Doctor Zhang walked over to Xiao Xiwei and confessed to her. Then, he carefully removed the gauze from her arm.

Everyone’s gaze was focused on Xiao Xiwei’s arm at this moment.

Finally, the gauze fell off, revealing a large area of swollen and red skin. There were also some broken blisters in the middle, making people unable to bear to look straight at it. When Madam Li saw the exposed skin, his eyes almost popped out.

It can’t be! How is this possible!

“Second young miss, you have been scalded for a few days. Fortunately, you are not infected. I will prescribe a few more pills for young miss, prescribe some ointment for scalding and apply it for a few days. However, you should be careful not to touch the water or make any big movements.” After Doctor Zhang finished speaking, he quickly prescribed the prescription.

By now, the matriarch had roughly understood something. Her cold eyes swept across Madam Li, but due to Doctor Zhang’s presence, she could only suppress the anger in her chest. “Doctor Zhang, please. Nurse Liu, send Doctor Zhang out for me.” The matriarch let Nurse Liu take the money and sent Doctor Zhang out.

Mrs. Li was frightened and frightened by the sight of Old Granny Jun. Could it be that Old Granny Jun suspected that it was her …

Seeing that things had changed, Madam Li hurriedly turned her gaze to Hongyu, who was still kneeling on the ground. “How dare you hurt Miss like this? What’s the crime of instigating Miss to not invite a doctor! Someone, drag this girl out and stick her to death!”

‘”Grandmother, you can’t blame Hong Yu for this. If I hadn’t touched her hand, she wouldn’t have accidentally poured the tea into my hand. Besides, Hong Yu has been with me since childhood. Nothing went wrong. Please spare Hong Yu once in front of her granddaughter.” Xiao Xiwei hurriedly knelt down. As she knelt down, she quietly raised her eyes to look at Nurse Liu beside Matriarch.

Nanny Liu was stunned for a moment, then whispered to the old lady, “Old lady, although Hong Yu is wrong, she has been serving in front of Second Miss since childhood. The two of them have a deep affection for each other. Otherwise, Second Miss would not conceal her injuries for fear that she would be punished. If she were to die with the Red Rain Staff, Second Miss would probably be sad for a long time.”

The matriarch knitted her eyebrows and said, “Drag her out and blame the thirty planks with your staff.”

“Grandmother” Xiao Xiwei still wanted Bi Yun to plead for mercy.

“Matriarch, this servant is willing to be punished.” Hong Yu interrupted Xiao Xiwei’s words. She kowtowed three times to Old Lady Jun and then looked at Xiao Xiwei with tears in her eyes. “Miss, this servant will remember your kindness to this servant forever.” With that, she walked out of the courtyard without looking back.

“Red Rain.” Xiao Xi looked at Hongyu’s back and a layer of mist suddenly appeared in his eyes.

“Grandmother, father, although Wei’er is sometimes ignorant, she will definitely not do such a disrespectful thing. Please return Wei’er’s innocence to grandmother and father.” Xiao Xi said as she kowtowed three times to Old Lady Jun.

“La Yue, go help Second Miss up!” The Matriarch stretched out her hand to hold the string in her hand, and a layer of icy coldness gradually enveloped her body.

The matriarch had seen many battles in the backyard, but she didn’t expect that someone would use such dirty methods today. She swept her gaze over to Madam Li with a gloomy expression, “Have you seen the peaceful days of the entire family for too long? Do you really have to make a fuss about it?”

Madam Li was stunned. First, he was shocked, then he knelt down in extreme grievance. “Mother, what did your daughter-in-law do to make you angry?”

The old lady snorted coldly, “Do you want to tell the truth until I call Doctor Zhang back to take your pulse?”

“Mother … are you, are you suspecting me?” Madam Li’s tears immediately flowed out. Seeing that Madam Li was unmoved, he turned his gaze to Xiao Yan. He said with grievance and sadness, “Master, could it be that even you don’t believe me …”

Xiao Yan stared at Madam Li with a sinister gaze, as if he wanted her to dig a hole in her body. “Tell me, what exactly is going on?”

“Master, why don’t you … you don’t believe me! All these years, I have been completely devoted to you. You are my husband, my lifelong dependant. How could I be so stupid as to do such a thing?” Madam Li tugged at the corner of Xiao Yan’s robe and sobbed.

Xiao Yan’s expression slightly calmed down.

At this time, Nurse Liu suddenly took a step forward and said, “Old granny, can this servant say more?”
