The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 258

Chapter 258 Have Cause And Effect
Xiao Xiwei turned around and noticed that there were two people standing under the willow tree across the street from the Dali Temple. One of them was wearing a veil and a grey robe. He covered his entire body tightly and leaned against the maidservant beside him.

Big sister …

Apart from Xichun, who was now wholeheartedly taking care of her child, there was only one person who could call her by this name.

Xiao Xile.

Xiao Xiwei stood motionless and silently watched as the woman approached him step by step with her maidservant’s hand.

“Stop! Who are you?”

Xiao Feng, the Monastery Secretary of the Dali Temple, had to send Xiao Xiwei away with great difficulty. But now, he suddenly rushed out of nowhere, fearing that something would happen again. He hurriedly ordered someone to stop the woman.

“Sister, don’t you remember me?” A hoarse voice came from the man’s mouth.

Xiao Xiwei waved his hand at Xiao Feng, signaling him to let him go. She had Zi Yan and all kinds of experts arranged by Chu Xizhi with her, so she was not afraid of what Xiao Xile would do to her at this moment.

“Long time no see, you’ve changed a lot.” Xiao Xiwei looked at Xiao Xile and lightly pulled the corner of his mouth.

“Yes, I have to thank you for all of this.” Xiao Xile looked at Xiao Xiwei’s increasingly beautiful face through the white veil in front of her. Her hands that were hidden between her sleeves unconsciously clenched tightly. Her sharp fingernails pierced into her skin and sent waves of intense pain

“Thank me?” Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly and sneered.

The reason why she ended up in this situation was all because of her own sin. However, even though she had fallen to this point, she still did not want to repent. She even blamed all of this on her. There was really no way to save her.

“Wasn’t everything I had today bestowed on me by my sister?” Xiao Xile’s voice suddenly became sharp.

Xiao Xiwei’s expression did not change, and even the smile on her lips deepened. “Sister? You still call me like this really makes me a little unaccustomed. If I remember correctly, the Marquis of Zhongyong Manor unless I do. It seems that there is only one young miss who lives in the Duke of Lu Manor now.”

Hearing Xiao Xiwei’s words, Xiao Xile’s face turned pale, followed by a burst of coughing.

She coughed as if she could not stop. Her entire body was trembling, as if she wanted to cough out her entire heart and lungs. As she coughed, the maidservant beside her hurriedly reached out and patted her back. Unexpectedly, Xiao Xile threw her hand away and said, “Go away, I don’t want your sympathy!”

That girl’s appearance was about thirteen or fourteen years old, but when Xiao Xile scolded her like this, her eyes immediately turned red, but she still reached out to help Xiao Xile.

Xiao Xi couldn’t help but frown slightly as he watched this scene.

This kind of Xiao Xile was the same as before, without the slightest change. The reason why she stopped here to talk to her for so long was because she wanted to know if she had ever repented of what she had done, but now, it seemed that her temperament was still hard to change. Since that was the case, she was too lazy to stay here and waste her time with her.

“Let’s go.” Xiao Xi slightly withdrew her gaze and instructed the girl beside her.

“Yes.” Ever since he found out that this person was Xiao Xile, Zi Yan’s expression had always been very ugly. Now that he had received Xiao Xiwei’s instructions, he hurriedly answered and lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.

Xiao Xi raised her foot slightly and was about to get on the sedan chair when Xiao Xile, who was behind her, rushed towards her.

“Chen Jin, don’t let her meet the Crown Princess.” Zi Yan shouted as she extended her hand to protect Xiao Xi behind her.

When the guard called Chen Jin by Zi Yan heard Zi Yan’s words, he bent his knee and kicked towards Xiao Xile who was pouncing over.

“Xiao Xiwei, you killed my mother and caused me to be in such a situation. You won’t have nightmares at night. Aren’t you afraid of retribution?” Xiao Xiwei cursed loudly in the direction where Xiao Xiwei was standing.

“How dare you call me the Crown Princess by her name!” Chen Jin’s expression changed as he raised his sword and was about to walk towards Xiao Xile.

“Ah Jin, don’t touch her. Be careful of getting dirty.” Zi Yan said loudly again.

Hearing Zi Yan’s words, Chen Jin retracted his foot angrily and took two steps back.

At this time, Xiao Xiwei walked out from behind Zi Yan. Her cold gaze swept towards Xiao Xile, who had fallen to the ground. Her cold voice immediately rang, “Retaliation, you actually told me about retribution!” Xiao Xile, isn’t your fate today your retribution? Didn’t you dream of asking for your life tomorrow? There is a reason in this world, there is a result. You are the one who took the blame for what happened today. Do you not know what you and Madam Li have done? “Xiao Xile, I didn’t kill you because I was merciful, but because I was afraid that I would dirty my hands!”

Xiao Xile suddenly laughed. She smiled and suddenly reached out to tear off the veil on her face.

The once beautiful face beneath the veil was now sunken, covered in dense red dots. At first glance, it was truly frightening.

“Miss, what are you doing!” The girl beside Xiao Xile hurriedly picked up the veil and hurriedly tied it back on to her.

Xiao Xile’s eyes reddened and her tears fell down. “Xiao Xiwei, are you very happy to see me like this? I’m going to die, and I won’t be able to get in your way anymore.”

“What does it have to do with me whether you’re dead or alive? Don’t you think too highly of yourself?” Xiao Xiwei glanced at Xiao Xile with her icy cold eyes. Then, she ignored her and got on the carriage.

Zi Yan put down the curtain and waved her hand. She lifted Xiao Xiwei’s carriage and slowly drove towards the Eastern Palace.

“Xiao Xiwei, I owe my entire life to you. Even if I die and turn into a ghost, I will not let you off …”

Behind him, Xiao Xile’s shrill voice suddenly sounded.

Xiao Xiwei lowered his eyes and looked at his crossed hands, but there was not the slightest ripple in his heart.

Xiao Feng, who respectfully watched Xiao Xiwei’s carriage disappear at the corner of the street, finally took time out and looked at Xiao Xile, who was sitting on the ground. He pinched the tip of his nose and took two steps back, his eyes filled with disgust. “Where did this crazy woman dare to cause trouble in front of my Martial Temple? The Crown Princess is benevolent and does not care about you. This official is not so easy to talk to me!” If you don’t get lost, don’t blame me for being impolite! ”

Xiao Xile sat on the ground without snorting, but the little girl beside her hurriedly pulled her up. “Lord, calm down, this little one will leave now, this one will leave …” As she spoke, she dragged Xiao Xi away from the Martial Temple with great difficulty step by step.

Xiao Feng looked at Xiao Xile’s back and spat out forcefully. He cursed’crazy woman ‘in a low voice and then turned around to enter the Martial Temple.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Xiao Xiwei suddenly raised the curtain and looked at Zi Yan, who was standing beside the carriage. “What happened to her?”

“She? Crown Princess, who are you talking about?” Zi Yan turned around and looked at Xiao Xiwei doubtfully.

Xiao Xi frowned slightly and looked at Zi Yan without saying anything.

Seeing this, Zi Yan smiled embarrassedly, “So it’s her. How could this servant know about her?”

“If you don’t know anything, why did you let Chen Jin stop her when she rushed towards me just now? Why didn’t you let Chen Jin touch her?” Xiao Xiwei looked into Zi Yan’s eyes and said word by word.

Zi Yan was stunned by Xiao Xiwei’s question and couldn’t think of a way to answer it. She raised her eyes and secretly looked at Xiao Xiwei. Seeing that she was still staring at her, she couldn’t help but sigh dejectedly, “Alright, actually this servant doesn’t know much.”

Back then, Xiao Xi Wei had the Night Sect people keep an eye on Xiao Xi Le and not let her die. Therefore, in these past few days, Xiao Xi Le’s every move had been spread to Ye Xi Le by that person without any details, so she naturally knew a lot.

Xiao Xile was abducted and sold to the Yi Hong Courtyard and refused to accept the guests at the beginning. She was beaten by the madam of the Yi Hong Courtyard, causing her right ear to be deaf, and finally had to submit. Afterwards, she took the opportunity to secretly deliver a letter to Madam Li. He didn’t want the Li Clan to go all the way to Qinhuai to save Xiao Xile. Moreover, Xiao Xile’s reputation was bad at that time, and the Li Clan was even more afraid of implicating him. Madam Li couldn’t only ask for Marquis Mansion’s loyalty. He didn’t want to, but he didn’t even see Xiao Yan’s face. Later, Xiao Xiwei ordered someone to send her to Li Qingfeng. Li Qingfeng was naturally furious, but because Chang Lu was around, he didn’t dare to do anything to Madam Li at that time. After returning to his mansion, he locked Madam Li in the woodshed. Soon after, Madam Li died. Naturally, no one remembered Xiao Xile as soon as Madam Li died.

Xiao Xiwei was afraid that Xiao Xile would commit suicide, but she endured it all the way. However, she later contracted flower and willow disease. At first, the madam asked the doctor to treat her, but in the end, she did not get well, so she ordered someone to drive her out. Fortunately, she had kept a lot of money from the madam during the past few days. After being driven out, she dragged her sick body all the way to the capital. As for the little girl beside her, she was on her way to the capital when she bumped into her father.

After listening to Zi Yan’s words, Xiao Xiwei was silent for a while and finally said, “What is she doing in the capital?”

Looking at her appearance today, it didn’t seem like she was looking for her. She just happened to bump into her at the entrance of the Dali Temple. Could it be that she was here to see Chu Yanzhi?

Zi Yan shook her head, “This servant doesn’t know.”

Xiao Xi took a deep breath and immediately put down the curtain.

Regardless of whether Xiao Xiwei came here for Chu Yanzhi or not, all of this had nothing to do with her anymore.

The carriage soon arrived at the Eastern Palace.

Xiao Xi got off the sedan chair and saw Chu Xizhi, who was dressed in ordinary clothes and holding the child in his hands. He stood at the door, his long body jade-like, and the faint golden sunlight shattered on his body. The smile on the corner of his mouth was even more dazzling than the sunlight.

“Madam, you’re back.”

She heard his familiar voice.

Unconsciously, the corner of Xiao Xiwei’s lips curled into a faint smile. She walked towards Chu Xizhi and answered him tenderly, “Yes, Husband, I’m back.”

Chu Xizhi smiled and reached out to hug Xiao Xi in his arms. He was about to say something when Chu Tianye in his arms suddenly laughed and vaguely spat out a word, “Mom … Mom …”

The two of them were stunned at first, then they looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
