The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 61

Chapter 061 Who Would Know
Luo Yuxuan.

Matriarch, Xiao Yan, Xiao Xiyang, Xiao Xiwei, and even Concubine Zhou rushed over after hearing the letter.

After listening to Doctor Wu’s statement, the matriarch pursed her lips and remained silent. Xiao Yan’s expression was so gloomy that it almost dripped water. Auntie Zhou looked at Third Concubine and then quietly glanced at Xiao Xiwei.

She always felt that today’s appearance was more or less related to this Celestial Immortal-like Second Miss in front of her.

“Matriarch, master, you must make the decision for me!” Third Concubine knelt in front of the couch and sobbed endlessly.

Xiao Yan’s face was gloomy as he looked at Third Concubine, who was kneeling on the ground with a face full of tears. At this moment of resentment, some pity arose in his heart. “You get up first! If what he said is true, I will definitely make the decision for you!”

Cui Zhu hurriedly stepped forward and helped Third Concubine up.

These clothes and rouge were from the past, when there was no housekeeper in Xiwei and only one person could touch them. If it was in the past, Xiao Yan naturally didn’t believe that Madam Li could do such a thing, but now … he thought about Madam Li’s past actions and felt a chill run down his spine! Just how vicious was this woman! If she really did what she did this time, then he would never allow her to do it again!

Seeing the killing intent flashing in Xiao Yan’s eyes, the matriarch’s eyebrows furrowed slightly and the corners of her lips moved, but she didn’t say anything in the end.

“Father, let’s wait for Doctor Zhang to arrive before we discuss everything.” Xiao Xiwei looked at Xiao Yan and said indifferently.

If Doctor Wu was the only one who said this, it would inevitably make people think that Third Concubine and Doctor Wu were colluding to deliberately frame Madam Li.

Third Concubine looked up at Xiao Xi and then lowered her head to continue sobbing softly.

Not long after, the girl brought Doctor Zhang in.

Seeing that there were so many people standing in the room and most of the masters of the Marquis Mansion were present, Doctor Zhang’s heart couldn’t help but thump.

“Doctor Zhang, you’ve been the one who treated some of the typhoid fever illnesses in our Marquis. Our Marquis has always believed in your medical skills. I’ve invited you here today to see something for us.” Xiao Xi looked at Doctor Zhang solemnly and said.

Doctor Zhang was stunned. Seeing Xiao Xiwei’s solemn expression, he felt a little strange in his heart, but he still nodded. “I wonder what Second Miss wants me to watch for you.”

Xiao Xiwei looked sideways at Red Rain.

Hong Yu understood, and very quickly, he brought over all the clothes and rouge powder that Doctor Wu had checked to see if there were any problems.

Doctor Zhang walked forward doubtfully. She carefully flipped through the clothes that Hong Yu had brought over. He hadn’t felt anything before, However, after a while, the space between his eyebrows suddenly twisted slightly. His expression gradually became serious. He lowered his head and sniffed the clothes carefully. Then, he opened the box of rouge powder and sniffed it carefully. After a while, his expression gradually turned ugly. He hesitated whether he should tell what he had discovered right now.

In order to compete for favor, there were many dirty and filthy things in the dark. Once he opened his mouth, he would definitely interfere. At that time, regardless of whether things were good or bad, there would probably not be a good result.

“Doctor Zhang, are there any problems with these things?” Xiao Xiwei only glanced at Doctor Zhang and knew what he was thinking, so he said indifferently.

Doctor Zhang knitted his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Xiwei. He hesitated and did not dare to speak.

‘”Doctor Zhang, this is Doctor Wu from the Rejuvenation Hall. He said that my concubine mother’s rouge has been tampered with. In order to confirm the truth of Doctor Wu’s words, I asked someone to invite you over. You were born in the Apricot Forest Clan, have a family background, and have treated our Marquis for so many years, so our Marquis has always trusted you.” Xiao Xi looked at Doctor Zhang and said.

Only then did Doctor Zhang realize that there was actually a Doctor Wu standing in the room. It turned out that he had first discovered that there was something wrong with the clothes and rouge, but the matter was too big. The Matriarch and Second Young Miss did not believe it, so he asked himself to come over and confirm it again. If that was the case, then any future problems would be brought out by him, Doctor Wu, and it had nothing to do with him. Thinking of this, Doctor Zhang heaved a sigh of relief and said with a serious face, “Yes, there are problems with these things. The cloth of these clothes has been soaked in safflower pollen, and the rouge has been added with pomegranate seed powder. These things are all dirty things that harm people!”

As soon as Doctor Zhang said that, Xiao Yan’s face immediately became somewhat frighteningly gloomy, and his eyes seemed to have been burned by fire.

Concubine Zhou’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

Third Concubine’s Fallen Rain Pavilion had these filthy things, so what about her Listening Rain Pavilion? No, you must check everything in Tingyu Pavilion when you go back.

“Doctor Zhang, Doctor Wu, I’m sorry to trouble you two. Thank you for doing your best for our Marquis Mansion. La Yue, go to my room and get fifty taels of silver for the two doctors and send them out of the manor.” The matriarch took a deep breath and said slowly.

Doctor Zhang and Doctor Wu exchanged glances.

Fifty taels of silver was enough to seal their mouths. Alright, they, the doctors, originally didn’t want to interfere in the affairs of the Marquis Clan.

“Thank you, Matriarch.” The two of them said in unison. After saying that, they bowed on their own and followed Nurse Liu out.

After they left, Xiao Xiwei walked out and knelt on the ground. “Grandmother, father, it’s all because of Wei’er’s weak housekeeper. Please punish grandmother and father,” he whispered.

“Wei’er, how can I blame you for this? Didn’t Third Concubine say that these rouges were all left over from before. The clothes were also from last year. At that time, you didn’t have a housekeeper.” Xiao Xiyang looked at Xiao Xiwei and said.

“Master, Second Miss is so young, how could she have such dirty things? Besides, she has no reason to harm me. Apart from … Master, you must make the decision for me!” As Third Concubine said this, her tears, which had just stopped for a while, rolled down again.

“Mother” Xiao Yan suddenly stood up and clenched his teeth as he looked at the matriarch.

The matriarch raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yan, sighed, and faintly closed her eyes.

Yan’er was ruthlessly trying to clean up the door! She remembered how her cousin had cared for her back then, and how he had only left these two bones and blood in the world. She felt a little frustrated for a moment.

In the end, she had a negative cousin! She didn’t teach her well!

“Grandmother, what are you still hesitating about! Think about what she did to Xiwei! I wasn’t at home that day, otherwise …” Xiao Xiyang’s eyebrows unconsciously flashed with a trace of killing intent when he thought of those things.

In his eyes, Madam Li was a woman with a venomous heart! If such a person stayed in the manor, sooner or later, it would be a disaster.

“Master, perhaps the matriarch is afraid that if the madam moves, it will affect the marriage between the second and third young miss. She must be … the matriarch mother of the Marquis Manor.” Concubine Zhou said cautiously.

If one wanted to disappear without letting others know the reason, it would depend on whether one could be ruthless or not.

Xiao Xiwei gave Concubine Zhou a faint glance. Suddenly, Zi Yan pulled at the corner of her sleeve. She raised her head and saw a figure printed on the white screen window. There seemed to be a pearl flower on that person’s head. .

“Grandmother, you’ve done your best.” Xiao Xiwei turned around and slowly said as he raised his hand to hold the old lady’s hand.

After so many years of care and tolerance, it was really enough. Everything was the fault of the Li family.

The matriarch looked at Xiao Xiwei’s clear eyes. After a long time, she sighed faintly, “Forget it, forget it. I’m already old, so I don’t want to care about it anymore. From tomorrow onwards, none of you will come to pay respects to Xiao Xiwei in the quiet garden. I just want to spend the rest of the day quietly and peacefully.” As the matriarch spoke, she supported the girl’s hand and stood up. She walked towards the door step by step.

Xiao Xiwei raised his head. The shadow hiding outside the window moved and disappeared.

“Master” As soon as Matriarch left, Third Concubine hurriedly rushed to Xiao Yan’s side and hugged his legs as she cried out in sorrow.

Ever since she found out that her child had been killed by the Li family’s scheme, she truly hated the Li family to the bone. She wished she could peel off her skin and tear her bones apart. Therefore, just those humiliations could not solve her hatred! She must kill Madam Li to avenge her child! However, she also knew that she could not personally make a move! Bi Jing, Madam Li also has a Third Miss and Fifth Young Master. She can’t compensate herself for killing Madam Li so quickly, so she can only ask Xiao Yan to help her.

Xiao Yan’s eyes sank. Just as he was about to speak, a voice rang out.

Xiao Xiwei looked at Xiao Yan and slowly said, “Father, brother has just been promoted to the Yan Cloud Guard by the Imperial Decree. It is said that he will hold a celebration banquet for brother in a few days, so …”

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted.

That’s right. When the time comes, there won’t be a lack of dignitaries in the Marquis Manor to celebrate. If news of the sudden death of the matriarch were to spread at this time, it would indeed be inappropriate …

“We’ll talk about this later.” Xiao Yan said coldly. After he finished speaking, he immediately raised his leg and walked out.

“Master!” Seeing Xiao Yan walk out without looking back, Third Concubine shouted from behind.

She had planned it for so long, and seeing that her master had made a move against Madam Li, Xiao Xiwei suddenly interrupted and crippled all of her previous efforts! Thinking of this, Third Concubine looked at Xiao Xiwei with some resentment in her eyes.

“Brother, Concubine Zhou, you guys go back first. I have something to say to Concubine Zhou alone.” Xiao Xi looked at Xiao Xiyang and Concubine Zhou and said.

Xiao Xiyang frowned and looked at Xiao Xiwei. Then, he followed her instructions and walked out.

He was already disgusted with the things happening in the backyard. If it wasn’t for Xi Wei, he wouldn’t have been able to bear listening to this.

Concubine Zhou, although she wanted to know what Xiao Xiwei wanted to say to Third Concubine, since Xiao Xiwei had spoken, she could only leave.

“Second young miss, what are you doing!” Once she left, Third Concubine would no longer have to hide her resentment.

“Auntie’s clothes and rouge were really manipulated by Madam Li?” Xiao Xi looked at Third Concubine and smiled lightly.

Third Concubine was stunned, “What does Second Miss mean by that?”

Xiao Xi smiled and said, “Concubine said that these clothes and rouge were left over from half a year ago, but … if they were really clothes from more than half a year ago, how could they smell red pollen after washing them so many times? Also, since that rouge was left over from half a year ago, how could it still be left to this day?”

Third Concubine’s face turned pale.

At that time, she only wanted to take Xiao Xiwei out, but she didn’t think of this at all.

“But … she did do something!” Third Concubine gritted her teeth and said.

However, it had been a long time since Xiao Xiwei took charge of the Marquis Manor. Ever since he knocked on the Li Clan’s people and kicked them out, coupled with the Li Clan’s disfavor, she was unable to bring in those dirty things herself. That was why she was unable to find any physical evidence for the time being.

“Concubine mother, it is because of the evil deeds of the Li Clan that Grandmother and Father are not suspicious now. However, if it is true … Concubine mother may not be able to fulfill her wish. On the contrary, she will even compensate herself if she is careless.” Xiao Xiwei sat on the couch and looked at Third Concubine with a faint smile.

Third Concubine bit her lips forcefully. “Who would know if Second Miss didn’t tell us?”

When the time comes for raw rice to be cooked, if Madam Li dies, who else will pursue it?

“Auntie, do you not know that someone was eavesdropping outside when Auntie was talking?” Xiao Xiyang looked up at Third Concubine Niang and said with a faint smile.
