The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 36

Chapter 036 Disdain For Motherhood
The Hearing Rain Pavilion was in a mess.

Xiao Min and the girls beside her had already been held down by the people brought by Madam Li, while Zhou Shumei was firmly pressed to the ground by Nurse Zhu, while Madam Li was slapping Zhou Shumei’s face fiercely with his left and right bow.

“You shameless bitch, you killed your fiance before you even got through, yet you still dare to seduce my lord! Today, I will beat you to death!”

“Li Qingmei, stop! Don’t be afraid that big brother will blame you if you do this!” Seeing that Zhou Shumei’s face was already covered in red marks, Xiao Min couldn’t help but shout at Madam Li.

Madam Li coldly snorted and turned to look at Xiao Min like a poisonous snake. “I haven’t settled the score with you yet! You can’t help but jump out! Lan Xin, hit me! Hit me hard!”

Xiao Min’s face turned pale, “You … you dare!”

It had been so long since Pearl had invited Xiwei over.

Lan Xin looked at Madam Li hesitantly and did not dare to make a move.

No matter what, Xiao Min is the aunt of the manor. If Matriarch and Master find out …

“What are you still standing there for! Could it be that you want to get slapped for her?” Madam Li raised his eyebrows and swept his gaze towards Lan Xin.

Lan Xin’s face turned pale. She stiffly raised her hand. Just as she was at a loss, a voice descended and rescued her.

“Mother, what are you doing?”

Xiao Min suddenly raised her head and saw that Xiao Xiwei had already stood at the door at some unknown time. She was still wearing the red dress with loose embroidered peonies on her chest at the birthday banquet. She was delighted and hurriedly shouted, “Wei’er.”

Seeing Xiao Xiwei’s leisurely appearance and thinking that her Le’er was still locked in her room and refused to eat, Madam Li’s blood boiled even more.

“As the mistress of Marquis Mansion, I’m just teaching some lowly bastards who overestimated themselves and tried to climb Marquis Mansion! Why, do you have to interfere in this matter?” Madam Li raised his eyebrows and stared coldly at Xiao Xiwei.

“Who is mother talking about? As far as I know, Aunt Zhou’s background is innocent and her family background is not low. Speaking of which, she is a bit better than mother’s birth. How could it be mother’s words … What kind of embryo?” Xiao Xiwei looked at Madam Li and smiled warmly.

“What are you talking about!” Mrs. Li’s face was deathly pale from anger, and her entire body trembled. Xiao Xiwei, whose eyes were staring at her, seemed to be about to gouge out a bloody hole in her body.

Xiao Xiwei, however, restrained his smile, and his gaze swept across the old woman and girl in the courtyard like a layer of ice. “What are you still waiting for? Why aren’t you letting go of her?”

The ladies were stunned and subconsciously let go.

“Who dares to let go!” Mrs. Li shouted angrily, her fierce eyes staring at the ladies and girls.

“Could it be that Mother doesn’t think that the manor made enough jokes at today’s birthday banquet? She doesn’t lose enough face? Are you prepared to add another sum?” Xiao Xi looked at Madam Li with a cold gaze.

She still dared to mention the birthday banquet!

Thinking of Xi Le’s disgrace at today’s birthday banquet, Li shi’s chest felt as if someone had fiercely dug out a bloody hole. Blood boiled all over her mouth. She stared at Xiao Xi with scarlet eyes and said angrily, “You bitch! This is all your doing! I really regret not choking you to death back then!”

The sound of hurried footsteps came from behind him. Xiao Xi tilted her eyes slightly. The corner of her eyes caught a glimpse of her father Xiao Yan approaching with a hostile expression, while her brother followed behind him. The corner of her lips curved unconsciously.

“Really? That’s a pity.” Xiao Xiwei whispered into Mrs. Li’s ear and sighed softly, “I heard that father has already planned to give the third sister to the Li family’s cousin? This is really a good marriage!”

“You bitch!” Mrs. Li’s eyes lit up with raging flames. Without thinking, she slapped her face and swept it over.

Just as her hand was about to touch Xiao Xiwei’s face, Xiao Xiwei shouted’ah ‘and staggered to the ground.

“What are you doing!” Xiao Yan’s angry shout suddenly sounded at the door.

Madam Li was stunned and looked at Xiao Yan in horror.

Why did Xiao Yan come? Didn’t he leave the manor?

The courtyard went completely silent.

Xiao Xiyang stepped forward with a heavy face and helped Xiao Xiwei up. “Wei’er, are you alright?”

Xiao Xiwei covered his face and blinked mischievously at Xiao Xiyang. She supported Xiao Xiyang’s hand and stood up. She shouted uneasily, “Father, why are you here?”

Seeing Xiao Yan, Xiao Min shouted, “Big brother, quickly save Shu Mei …”

Xiao Yan’s eyes suddenly sank. Nurse Zhu, who had originally been holding onto Zhou Shumei’s expression, trembled. Before he could let go, a gale swept towards her. Immediately after, she was heavily hit in the lower abdomen and her entire body flew out.

“Lord Xiao” Zhou Shumei pounced at Xiao Yan’s feet, reached out to grab his clothes and cried, “Please show mercy and send me back to Ping City!” “Please …” Zhou Shumei leaned against Xiao Yan like a frightened bird as she spoke. Her originally beautiful face was red and swollen, but her clear eyes were covered with a thick layer of water mist, and large drops of tears fell down.

Looking at the wound on her face, Xiao Yan’s anger suddenly rose. “What happened to the wound on your face?”

Zhou Shumei shrunk back, glanced at Madam Li, and immediately lowered her head in fear, “Lord Xiao, don’t ask, please send me back to Ping City …”

Xiao Yan’s expression darkened as he looked at Madam Li like a dagger.

In front of Madam Li, he had only mentioned that he wanted to take Zhou Shumei as his concubine, and behind her, Madam Li had brought so many ladies to the Rain Hearing Pavilion to cause a fuss! He even beat people like this! Even Fen Hao didn’t put his husband in his eyes! Thinking about what she had done in the past six months, Xiao Yan only felt that the Li family in front of him was becoming more and more hateful.

“Master, you, why are you looking at me like this!” Although Xiao Yan was staring at her with a chill all over her body, Madam Li still forced herself to speak calmly.

Xiao Yan coldly snorted and bent down to pick Zhou Shumei up.

“Lord Xiao …”

“Master …”

Zhou Shumei and Li shi exclaimed in surprise.

“Master, what are you doing!” Madam Li’s expression turned extremely ugly.

However, Xiao Yan did not look at Mrs. Li. He turned to Xiao Xiwei and said, “Wei’er, take care of yourself. Three days later, I will officially take your Aunt Zhou as your concubine.”

Your concubine!

Madam Li’s body flickered, and her face turned bloody. She looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief.

In front of so many servants, he actually mercilessly slapped her in the face! Your concubine! What qualifications does that bitch have to be a concubine of the Marquis Manor?

“Yes.” Xiao Xi lowered his eyes slightly and replied.

Xiao Yan nodded, hugged Zhou Shumei, and turned around to leave.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was about to leave with Zhou Shumei in his arms, a burst of hot blood suddenly rushed to Madam Li’s forehead. She angrily shouted at Xiao Yan’s back, “I don’t agree!”

Xiao Yan’s footsteps suddenly stopped. He turned around gloomily and stared coldly at Madam Li. “What did you say?”

‘”I said I don’t agree! Not to mention that she is engaged, even if she isn’t, I can’t allow this foxy beauty to enter the Marquis’ mansion!”

Xiao Yan’s thin lips were tightly pursed, and his expression was so gloomy that he could almost drip water.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was angry, Xiao Xiwei hurriedly stepped forward and gently tugged at the corner of Madam Li’s sleeve, whispering, “Mother, don’t say anything else.”

“You little bitch! Don’t think that I don’t know! You and that fox are on the same side!” Madam Li pushed Xiao Xiwei away angrily, his eyes glaring fiercely at Xiao Xiwei like daggers.

Xiao Xiwei was sure that Xiao Yan wanted to take Zhou Shumei as his concubine, and Xiao Xiwei would definitely add fuel to the fire! This little bitch! He really went against her everywhere!

The more Mrs. Li thought about it, the angrier she became. She felt like she could not wait to pounce on Hua that little bitch’s face.

Xiao Xiwei was pushed by Madam Li and staggered a few steps. After she steadied herself, she looked at Madam Li in grievance and shouted, “Mother …”

“Don’t call me mother! I’m not your mother!” Madam Li cursed angrily.

“Good! Good! Good!” “Since you don’t want to be Xiwei’s mother, then I’ll grant you! From today onwards, I’ll take Madam Li as my concubine and immediately move out of Hua Jin Garden and move to the West Garden!” Xiao Yan said with a sharp brow.

As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Madam Li felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She looked at Xiao Yan with a pale face. After a long time, she said with a trembling face, “You … What did you just say?”

Xiao Yan’s pitch-black eyes were indifferent and heartless. “Isn’t this what you asked for? Let someone clean it up and immediately move to the Northern Garden!”

Mrs. Li collapsed.

“Madam” Lan Xin hurriedly ran over to hug Madam Li.

Madam Li’s body trembled non-stop. She pinched Lan Xin’s arm with both of her hands and forced herself not to fall. “Master, we’ve been married for more than ten years. Today … you actually want to do this to me for these two bitches! Do you … do you still have a conscience?”

“Conscience!” Xiao Yan suddenly sneered, “If I don’t have a conscience, do you think you can sit firmly on the throne of Marquis Mansion’s matriarch with your background?” There are some things I don’t know. I just want to turn a blind eye to you in the relationship between husband and wife for many years, but you don’t know how to restrain yourself! Look at your actions, they are so despicable! “How can you have the bearing and dignity of a Marquis Mansion matriarch?”

Ever since the moment she stepped into Marquis Mansion, Xiao Yan had never said such vicious words to her! Every word of his was like a sharp dagger, fiercely stimulating her chest, making her unable to utter a single word in pain, and her entire body went limp.

“Xiwei, you’ve done a good job with the matriarch’s birthday banquet. In the future, I’ll leave Marquis Mansion to you. If you can’t handle it, I can ask you, Zhou Concubine, to help you.” Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Xiwei and said indifferently.

Concubine Zhou.

Xiao Xi’s eyes flashed with a trace of an undercurrent.

It seemed that Xiao Yan had made up his mind to take Zhou Shumei as his concubine.

“Yes, father.” She lowered her eyes and respectfully replied.

Xiao Yan nodded and walked out of the Rain Hearing Pavilion without turning back.

Xiao Xiwei raised his head and walked step by step in front of Mrs. Li. “Mother, are you alright? Oh, right, I forgot that Auntie Li disdains being my mother. Also, you are not worthy of being my mother.”

Madam Li struggled to raise his head to meet Xiao Xiwei’s gaze, his eyes almost spitting out fire, “You little bitch! I won’t let you go!”

Xiao Xiwei smiled sweetly and caressed a strand of green silk hanging by his ear. “It’s getting late. Li Concubine should pack up and move to the West Garden earlier, right? I heard that the West Garden has been deserted for a long time. It takes a lot of effort to pack up. If it’s too late, I’m afraid Concubine won’t have a place to sleep tonight.”

Mrs. Li pointed at Xiao Xiwei, anxious and angry. Suddenly, a sweet smell surged from her throat. Then, she rolled her eyes and fainted.

However, Xiao Xiwei turned around and glanced at Nurse Cui, who had rushed over when he heard the news. She raised her eyebrows and said, “Nurse Cui, looking at Li Concubine’s soft appearance, I’m sure he won’t be able to reach the Western Garden today. How about this, you personally send Concubine to the Western Garden!”

Nurse Cui’s entire body trembled. He hurriedly lowered his gaze and did not dare to look at Xiao Xiwei. “Miss …”

“What? Nurse is reluctant?”

“No! This servant obeys!” Nurse Cui hurriedly replied, but his back was already cold.

Xiao Xiwei pursed the corners of his lips and walked over to Xiao Xi Yang. He reached out and pulled his palm and smiled, “Alright, big brother, let’s go back!”

Xiao Xiyang knitted his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Xiwei who was smiling like a flower in front of him. Suddenly, an inexplicable undercurrent surged in his heart.
