The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 5

Chapter 005 Rope In Grandmother
“Nurse, today I am following my grandmother to the Chao An Temple. It is not appropriate for me to be too public in front of the Buddha.” Xiao Xiwei gave Nurse Cui a faint glance.

Granny Cui’s expression stiffened. After a while, she said embarrassedly, “Miss still thinks too much about Zhou Dao.”

Normally, she was like a wooden lady, how could she suddenly think of this level now?

Xiao Xiwei, who could see Nanny Cui’s expression, curved his lips into an imperceptible sneer.

In her previous life, Nurse Cui’s cold gaze seemed to be still in front of her. How trusting and dependent was this nurse who had brought her up with one hand! However, in the end, it was she who poisoned her Soup of Tranquility and killed the child in her stomach!

Xiao Xile was right!

In her entire life, she had no eyes, her sense of people was blurry, and she gave birth to a pair of eyes in vain, but she did not notice that these people beside her were all wolves, tigers, and leopards with wolves in their hearts and dogs in their lungs! However, it didn’t matter. Now that she had been revived for another life, she would definitely send these wolves, tigers, and leopards to hell one by one.

After finishing her grooming, Xiao Xiwei led the two girls, Hong Yu Bi Yun and Nanny Cui, out of her own Shadow Pavilion.

Four or five carriages had already stopped outside the manor.

Xiao Xiwei walked towards the carriage at the front.

When Nanny Liu saw Xiao Xiwei walk over, she hurriedly blessed her. “This servant greets Second Miss.”

“Granny Liu, is grandmother here?” Xiao Xi smiled at Nanny Liu and said gently.

Nurse Liu looked at Xiao Xiwei in surprise.

In the past, I only thought that this Second Miss was flashy. Wherever she went, she was like an open peacock. She had always disdained her servants. But today, I saw that she was dressed very plainly. It was rare for her to speak to her warmly.

The matriarch in the carriage heard the noise and ordered her maid to lift the curtain. She glanced at Xiao Xiwei with her eyes lowered. Her expression was indifferent and she could not tell whether she was happy or angry. She only said faintly, “Here we go.”

Xiao Xiwei’s grandfather, Zhongyong Hou Xiao Qi, was stationed in Wu City, which bordered the Northern Desert. The Matriarch pulled a pair of children by herself. She dared to act fairly. Unfortunately, in recent years, she had moved out of the main courtyard and stayed in a secluded quiet garden to recuperate. The affairs of the manor were all handed over to Madam Li. In her previous life, Xiao Xiwei had deliberately avoided this strict grandmother under the Li family’s separation. The reason for that was because Old Lady Jun did not love her as much as she did her other grandsons and granddaughters. In this life, if she wanted to take down Li shi and Xiao Xile, then Old Lady Jun was the one she had to rely on.

“Granddaughter is late. Please forgive me, grandmother.” Xiao Xiwei lowered his eyes and bowed to the matriarch. A trace of shyness and excitement flashed across his face.

The matriarch looked at Xiao Xiwei in surprise. She only saw that she was dressed plainly today. The silver embroidered magnolia dress she wore was awarded last year. However, she had not worn it once. Why did she suddenly wear it this time?

Seeing that the matriarch did not harrumph, Xiao Xiwei lowered his head and pulled his handkerchief embarrassedly. “Grandmother, yesterday you said you wanted to take your granddaughter to incense. Granddaughter was just happy, and the more she thought about it, the more she couldn’t sleep. So … so she got up late today. Grandmother, don’t be angry. Granddaughter won’t next time.” As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the matriarch with a hint of guilt and timidity.

The matriarch glanced at Xiao Xiwei and finally nodded to her. “Forget it, go back to your carriage.” After saying that, she signaled for her maidservant to put down the curtain.

“Granddaughter, please leave.” Xiao Xi blessed the carriage slightly before turning around to support Hong Yu’s hand.
