The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 52

Chapter 052 Drive Out of Marquis Mansion
“Good! What a good one! He wants to beat you up and scold you!” Xiao Yan sneered a few times, his eyes filled with hostility. “Since that’s the case, you should get the divorce certificate and get out of here!”

Xiao Yan’s words shocked everyone in the room, even Xiao Xiwei was extremely surprised.

In fact, he was not completely unaware of what the Li Clan had done these past few years. He had just shut his eyes and tolerated it all the time. Could it be that he was so angry because she had exposed these things to him this time? Or was it because of Madam Li’s words?

She’s the woman’s daughter. Have you forgotten? Didn’t you hate her and hate her? But why have you changed? You still want to give Le’er’s marriage to her! Why? Why? Have you forgotten how that woman betrayed you? Perhaps, she is not your woman at all …

Who was that woman Madam Li was talking about? Could it be her mother?

“You … what did you say? You, you want to divorce me?” Mrs. Li raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yan, as if she had been struck by lightning, her face filled with disbelief.

She didn’t believe that Xiao Yan would actually say those words out of his mouth!

Xiao Yan’s gloomy face showed no pity at all. He looked at Madam Li with disgust, and then angrily said to the servants, “What are you guys still waiting for? Why aren’t you packing up your things and sending her back to the Li family?” After he finished speaking, he didn’t look at Mrs. Li and walked out of the door.

“No … I won’t! You lied to me! You lied to me!” Madam Li watched Xiao Yanjue’s back as tears rolled down his cheeks one after another, his face ashen and filled with despair.

How could it be true?

She entered the Marquis Mansion at the age of seven, married him at the age of sixteen, and gave birth to a son and a daughter. She accompanied him all these years and carefully waited on him! How could he divorce her! Impossible! Impossible!

“Mother” Xiao Xile looked at Mrs. Li’s desperate and sorrowful face and pounced over to hug Mrs. Li, crying out loud.

Xiao Xi Le’s cry suddenly brought Madam Li back to her senses. She suddenly shouted towards the door, “You lied to me! You lied to me! I’m Marquis Mansion’s mistress! You can’t divorce me! You can’t divorce me!”

Hearing Madam Li’s miserable cries, Xiao Xiwei was not happy at all. Her mind was filled with Madam Li’s words.

Could it be that something unknown happened between father and mother? Otherwise, why would Madam Li say that? Although her father was stern and stern, she had never seen him so angry before. What was the reason for that?

At the empty door, for a long time, the person she had hoped for did not come back. Madam Li’s heart seemed to have been dug out of her chest, and her heart was filled with pain and despair as if blood was on her forehead. At this moment, she suddenly saw the old lady, like a drowning person who had grabbed the last straw to save her life. She suddenly pounced over and grabbed the corner of the old lady’s skirt. “Auntie … Auntie, I know I was wrong … I really know I was wrong … I won’t dare to do it again in the future, please give me another chance! Please …”

The matriarch looked coldly at Madam Li, who was tugging at the corner of her skirt. The corner of her lips moved and she slowly closed her eyes. After a long time, she opened her eyes and coldly said to the girl behind Madam Li, “You two go back and pack up, then follow her back to the Li Manor!”

“No! Auntie, please don’t drive me away … I really know that I was wrong! Please forgive me for giving birth to a son and a daughter for Marquis Mansion … If you kick me out, I’ll be laughed at tomorrow when I go out with Le’er! Take it for Le’er and Ming’er’s sake … Aunt, I was wrong. If you want to beat me up, I’ll admit it. Don’t kick me out … “Madam Li pulled the corner of the old lady’s skirt and cried bitterly.

Indeed, in a large clan like the Marquis of Loyalty, it would be disgraceful for Xiao Xile and Xiao Ximing to abandon the position of head wife. Especially for Xiao Xile and Xiao Ximing, if their mother were to be divorced, they would be labeled as such for the rest of their lives, and would be criticized by others.

The matriarch looked at Mrs. Li, who was crying bitterly, with hesitation in her eyes.

It wasn’t because she loved Madam Li, but because she didn’t want the young master of the Xiao Clan to be implicated because of Madam Li.

When Zhou Shumei saw that the matriarch did not say anything, she immediately became extremely anxious in her heart.

No wonder Zhou Shumei was anxious. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her. After Li shi took a break, the Marquis’ Manor lost its mistress, and with her background, she had the best chance to be upright.

Thinking of this, her heart seemed to be scratched by a cat and she hurriedly looked at Xiao Xiwei.

The Li Clan’s mother and daughter had done so many dirty things to Xiao Xiwei and almost ruined her appearance. In her opinion, Xiao Xiwei must hate the Li Clan to the bone. She definitely would not give the Li Clan a chance to turn around.

Receiving Zhou Shumei’s glance, Xiao Xiwei frowned slightly.

Madam Li had done so many things to her, and now that she had come to this point, she did not mind stepping on her foot fiercely. However, Old Granny didn’t say anything. She didn’t know if she loved Li shi, her cousin. Therefore, she was waiting for the old lady to speak.

Seeing that Xiao Xi didn’t say anything, Zhou Shumei was so anxious that she jumped up and down. She did not understand why Xiao Xiwei did not speak at this time. Could it be that she still had pity on Madam Li? Aren’t you afraid that Mrs. Li will take another bite from her after she recovers her breath? If that was the case, she would be too disappointed in Xiao Xiwei!

Madam Li clearly saw the hesitation in the old lady’s eyes. She hurriedly took a few steps towards the old lady. “Auntie, the emperor has given the two girls from Marquis Mansion to the prince. If news of the mother being crippled comes out at this time, perhaps the marriage between Xiwei and Shearer will be hidden.”

The matriarch’s eyes moved. Indeed, if this matter were to come out, it would definitely have a bad impact on Xi Wei’s and Xi Le’s marriage. She slowly raised her head and looked at Xiao Xiwei, “Wei’er, did you say that?”

Xiao Xiwei also looked at the old lady, her cold eyes filled with indiscernible darkness. “Grandmother, I know that mother is your cousin. If you love her … then I’ll leave everything to grandmother. However, if it’s because of other reasons, then I can’t forgive her!”

She was not a sage, and she would never be able to forgive what Madam Li had done!

The matriarch looked at Xiao Xiwei’s firm eyes and couldn’t help but feel extremely emotional in her heart.

Xiwei hates Madam Li. However, if it was because she loved Madam Li, then she could pretend that nothing had happened.

She cared about her grandmother’s thoughts!

“Wei’er, you must know that you are my direct granddaughter.” The matriarch looked at Xiao Xiwei and said word by word.

One was a cousin and the other was a direct granddaughter.

“Grandmother.” Xiao Xi looked at the matriarch with a slightly sour nose.

“Wei’er, I have already entrusted this Marquis Mansion to you to take care of. Therefore, grandmother will listen to you.” The matriarch grabbed Xiao Xiwei’s hand, patted her hand, and said solemnly.

“Auntie …” Madam Li could not imagine that the Matriarch would leave her to Xiao Xiwei to decide.

Zhou Shumei, on the other hand, was filled with joy.

She believed that Xiao Xiwei hated Li shi to the bone, and she would definitely not let Li shi stay.

Seeing that there was no hope of persuading the matriarch, Mrs. Li could only turn her gaze to Xiao Xiwei. Although this is ugly, However, she had no choice but to say, “Wei’er, in the past … it was mother who lost her mind. I beg you to forgive mother this time … Wei’er, you are already engaged to the Seventh Prince. If … this matter were to spread out, I’m afraid it would have a hidden effect on your marriage …” Mrs. Li stared at Xiao Xiwei with a bright light flashing in her eyes.

As long as Xiao Xiwei cared about this marriage, she could not make a big fuss about it.

The corner of Xiao Xi’s lips curled up slightly. “Mother really plans for me, but what if I say I don’t care?”

“You … What do you mean?” Madam Li’s face was filled with horror.

How could she not care about this marriage!

“Because I am different from you! I believe that the seventh prince will propose to the emperor because he has his eyes on me. I believe that he will not let other unimportant people influence his opinion of me. If that is the case, then even if this marriage is cancelled, I will not regret it.”

“Alright!” The matriarch looked at Xiao Xiwei with an unconcealable admiration in her eyes.

No arrogance, no impatience, no pet glory, this was the demeanor that a daughter of the first wife of the Marquis should have.

“Auntie, auntie, think about my father … Please forgive me for his sake this time. I will listen to you in the future! Really! I was wrong! I really know that I was wrong this time! Auntie …” Seeing that neither Granny Jun nor Xiao Xiwei were moved, Madam Li had no choice but to move her late father out.

The matriarch looked down at Madam Li.

Back then, when Chen shi was ill, she cried and begged her like today, saying that she had a baby in her stomach and begged her to help her for the sake of her father.

Back then, she was just soft-hearted …

Otherwise, how could anything happen today?

As she thought of what she had done, she felt a chill all over her body.

“You don’t have to say anything, Nurse Liu. You can go to my room and get five hundred taels of silver for her. It’s all part of our nephew-aunt friendship.” The matriarch looked calmly at Madam Li and said resolutely.

“Auntie …” Mrs. Li did not expect the old granny to be so heartless.

How could they do this to her!

All these years, she didn’t dare to slack off in the slightest in managing the Marquis Manor. Before the Marquis Manor gave birth to a son and a daughter, in the end, they actually wanted to kick her out of the house!

No!

No!

She definitely couldn’t let such a thing happen!

If she was really kicked out of the Marquis Manor like this, then it would be fine if she didn’t die!

“I was born a member of the Xiao Clan, and I die a ghost of the Xiao Clan! No one can drive me away!” A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Madam Li’s eyes. She pushed Xiao Xile away and crashed into a pillar on the side in front of everyone.

“Mother” Xiao Xile screamed and hurriedly ran over.

Xiao Xi looked at the blood on Mrs. Li’s face and a cold smile flashed across her lips.

Originally, Madam Li was running out of tricks. Otherwise, why would she use such a trick? Unfortunately, Nanny Zhu had already used this move just now, and compared to Nanny Zhu, it was obvious that she had left room for the old lady to admit defeat and surrender! However … looking at Old Lady Jun’s current expression, she was afraid that she had backfired! One by one, they were forced to die. If someone were to spread out, others might not be able to pass it on to the Constabulary.

“Go, ask a doctor to bandage her. When she wakes up, send her back to the Li Mansion.” The matriarch looked at Madam Li in disgust, and then entered the inner room without turning back.
