The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 68

Chapter 068 Provoke Madam Li
This time, it was clearly for Xi Wei.

If Xiao Ximing hadn’t accidentally drank that glass of wine, then the person who died would have been his Xiwei.

Was this a fluke? So, next time?

Thinking of this, Chu Xizhi felt a burst of rage burning in his chest.

“That wine was served by Xiao Xile.” Xiao Xiwei gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

If that secret medicine came out of the palace, then in other words, the person who wanted to get rid of her was someone from the palace? The only person in the palace who could have anything to do with Xiao Xile was Chu Yanzhi.

Thinking of this moment, Xiao Xiwei’s lips almost bite and bleed. A burning resentment burst out from his eyes, and his entire body trembled uncontrollably.

Regardless of whether it was his previous life or his current life! As long as she was useless to him, he would kill her!

“Xiwei.” Chu Yanzhi cried out in pain. Then, he reached out and held Xiao Xiwei in his arms. “It’s all over. Don’t worry, I won’t let you get hurt again! I swear!”

Since he had already reincarnated, he would definitely not allow the tragedy of his previous life to repeat itself in front of his eyes!

Xiao Xiwei’s originally trembling body gradually calmed down as she was hugged by Chu Xizhi and listened to his steady and powerful heartbeat.

That’s right, everything is over. She was no longer the foolish and foolish Xiao Xiwei from before. Since the heavens had allowed her to revive once more, then she would let those who betrayed and humiliated those who wanted to kill her return the injuries and pain they had inflicted on her a thousand times more than a hundred times! Never be merciful or soft-hearted again!

“Your Highness, it’s getting late for me to leave the manor. It’s time to go back.” In Chu Xizhi’s arms, Xiao Xiwei quickly regained his calm.

“Wei’er” Chu Xizhi slowly let go of Xiao Xiwei’s hand and looked at her for a long time. In the end, he swallowed all the words he was about to say, “I’ll send you out.”

Regardless of whether it was his previous life or his current life, he had no other choice.

Perhaps, even if he had a way, he would not be willing to use those methods on her.

Xiao Xiwei looked at the endurance in Chu Xizhi’s eyes. For some reason, a trace of sadness appeared in his heart and he subconsciously nodded.

West Garden.

Madam Li leaned against the bed with a weak expression. His complexion was extremely pale. His previously rosy cheeks were now sunken. He stared at Third Concubine, who was standing in front of the bed with resentment in his eyes.

‘”What are you doing here again? You … you haven’t ruined me enough! You, don’t go too far! Even if I’m not favored anymore, I still gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Duke of Zhongyong. Treat me like this! In the future, Third Miss and Fifth Young Master will know what will happen to you!” Madam Li cursed as he held Pei’er’s hand and gasped for breath.

Third Concubine raised his hand to cover his mouth and smiled sweetly, “Madam, are you still having your big dreams of the Spring and Autumn Period at this time?” Last time, you asked Li Xiang to go to Hua Jin Garden to find the third young miss to stand up for you, but what happened? Third Young Miss simply ignores your biological mother! ‘”Tsk tsk, think about how pitiful you really are. A daughter who grew up in your hands with so much effort, but in the end, she refused to even speak for you … I think it’s been so long since she came to see you, right?”

Third Concubine’s words were like a sharp dagger that fiercely pierced into Madam Li’s heart. She kept flipping and stirring, and the pain was so painful that she couldn’t breathe.

She knew Le’er’s current situation, so even if Madam Xiang came to bully her again and again, she gritted her teeth and endured it. She was afraid that Le’er would recklessly plead with her master and implicate her, so she did not ask Li Xiang to ask Le’er for help. It must be this girl who can’t stand the pain and wants to have fun on her own! However, she did not expect that Le’er would actually be indifferent to Madam Xiang’s humiliation.

“Right now, the Matriarch and the Master are still not calming down. Le’er did this because she did not want to anger the Master and implicate me!” Said Madam Li forcefully.

“Is that so? I hope so!” Third Concubine smiled sweetly and glanced at Cui Zhu.

Cui Zhu understood and hurriedly chose an intact chair from the room. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and carefully wiped the chair. Then he said to Third Concubine, “Concubine, please sit down.”

Third Concubine smiled and leisurely sat down on the chair with Cuizhu’s hand. She then raised her hand and brushed the wrinkles on her skirt before looking at Mrs. Li with a smile. “Actually, I came here specifically to bring a message to Madam.”

Mrs. Li’s eyes were wide open as she stared at Third Concubine without saying a word.

“Looking at Madam’s appearance, it really scares me.” Third concubine mother brushed her chest and forced fear.

“What exactly are you trying to say! Scram!” Mrs. Li forcefully tugged at the quilt with both hands and glared angrily at Third Concubine.

This bitch, seeing that she was out of favor, almost ran to the western courtyard every day to trample on her! Back then, she really hated that she was so soft-hearted that she left behind this bitch’s life! So much so that she actually dared to bully him today! In the future, when she left the Western Garden, the first thing she would do would be to peel off the bitch’s skin and bones, causing her bones to fly into ashes!

“Judging from Madam’s expression, could it be that she has been able to come out of the western courtyard to settle accounts with me?” Third Concubine said with a charming smile.

The more miserable Madam Li was now, the happier she felt!

Mrs. Li gritted her teeth and glared at Third Concubine with her lips pursed in silence.

“Oh! I almost forgot. No matter how unreliable Third Miss is, Madam still has a Fifth Young Master!” Third Concubine said.

The corner of Cui Zhu’s mouth curved, “Concubine, you have forgotten that the Fifth Young Master is gone.”

Third Concubine also smiled and gently patted the back of her hand, “Yes! Look at my memory, how can I forget that Fifth Young Master died last night! He really deserves to be beaten!”

“You … what did you say!” Like a thunderbolt from the blue, Madam Li fell into the bed.

“Madam!” Pei’er was shocked and hurriedly helped Madam Li up.

“What did you just say! What happened to him tomorrow? What happened to him!” Mrs. Li’s expression was frightened, and she was about to go crazy.

Looking at Madam Li’s appearance, the smile on Third Concubine’s face became more and more beautiful. “Why didn’t your biological mother know that Fifth Young Master died so suddenly?”

“Nonsense! Nonsense!” Madam Li crawled up from the ground ferociously and rushed towards Third Concubine.

Just as she was about to meet Madam Li, Cui Zhu’er pushed Madam Li.

Mrs. Li’s head heavily smashed into the corner of the bed behind her, making a dull sound.

“Madam” Pei’er hurriedly helped Madam Li up and looked at Third Concubine in horror, not daring to say anything.

“I know. You must be lying to me! I’m not going to be fooled! I’m not going to be fooled!” Madam Li raised his eyes and stared into the eyes of Third Concubine, muttering nonstop.

Third Concubine smiled sweetly, “I’m lying to you! Don’t you see what clothes I’m wearing today?”

Madam Li’s face trembled.

Third Concubine was dressed in plain white, and even the jewelry on his head was plain. Even the girl next to her, Cui Zhu, was wearing a plain white shirt.

“No … impossible … impossible! You lied to me! You lied to me! My son will not die tomorrow! Impossible!” Madam Li’s face was pale and her eyes were filled with defeat and terror. She shook her head and tried to convince herself that Madam Xiang was lying to her.

Not long ago, Ming’er was still calling her mother alive!

No way! He won’t die! He said that he would obtain fame and honor for the Marquis Manor, and then beg Master to release her! He said it!

Madam Xiang must have deliberately lied to her! She hated that she had killed her child and drugged the things she used, so she was sad that she had deliberately lied to her. Then, she watched her joke from the side.

It must be like this.

It must be like this.

“Madam, don’t you want to know how Fifth Young Master died?” Third Concubine looked at Madam Li and a cold smile suddenly appeared on her lips.

Madam Li’s pupils constricted and he suddenly raised his eyes to look at Third Concubine. “Is it Xiao Xiwei? Did she kill my Ming’er?”

Third Concubine’s eyes moved slightly. Even though she looked at Madam Li, she smiled without saying a word.

The corners of Madam Li’s lips were already biting out traces of bright red blood. What was even more seductive than the blood was the intense resentment in her eyes.

Suddenly, she pushed away Pei’er, who was supporting her, and rushed out of the room.

“Madam!” Pei’er shouted loudly. Just as she was about to chase after him, she saw Third Concubine Shi Shi Ran standing up with Cui Zhu’s hand.

“I remember that the people of the Western Garden can’t take a step out of this courtyard at will, right?” Third Concubine’s slender eyes swept past Pei’er, and she finally smiled sweetly. She turned around and walked out with Cui Zhu’s hand.

As soon as Third Concubine left, Li Xiang sneaked in from outside the house.

“Sister Lixiang, what should we do? Madam ran out like crazy.” Seeing Li Xiang enter, Pei’er hurriedly cried.

Li Xiang coldly glanced at Pei’er and said, “We’re just a girl. What can we do? Wait here!”

In the past, when Madam was in the limelight, she did not get any credit. Now that Madam was out of favor, she was even dragged down to this deserted and defeated Western Garden to suffer with her! In the past, he had expected Third Miss to stand up for Madam, but he didn’t expect Third Miss to be selfish. She didn’t care about Madam’s life or death at all. Now that Fifth Young Master was gone, there was no hope for Madam to leave the Western Garden. However, she was still so young that she did not want to be trapped in this dilapidated courtyard with Madam. Now that Madam has gone mad and gone out to cause trouble, with Second Miss’s methods, Madam will probably never be able to return. Once she dies, she will naturally be able to leave the Western Garden.

Pei’er didn’t know what Li Xiang was up to, but she was only concerned about whether Madam Li would cause trouble if she ran out like this. Seeing that she didn’t care, she wanted to run out and find Madam Li. She had only just taken a few steps when Li Xiang coldly shouted from behind her.

“Stop.”

“Big Sister Lixiang, let’s go find Madam. Otherwise, what if Madam causes trouble?” Pei’er looked at Li Xiang pleadingly.

Li Xiang smiled coldly, “Calamity! You don’t think Madam has caused enough calamity! Pei’er, you must be sixteen this year! Do you want to stay in the Western Garden for the rest of your life?”

Li Xiang’s chest was stuffed and she lowered her head without saying anything.

“Besides, why are you so worried about Madam? Madam won’t appreciate it at all! Otherwise, think about what will happen to Nurse Zhu!” Li Xiang said coldly.

Nurse Zhu …

Thinking about Nanny Zhu’s miserable death, Pei’er’s heart went cold and she finally gave up the idea of going out to find Madam Li.
