The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 69

Chapter 069 Madam Li Was Ruthless
Originally, Xi Yuan had arranged for a few ladies to guard it, but now, the Marquis Manor was in a mess and no one cared about it. In addition to Third Concubine’s instructions, Madam Li did not easily escape from Xi Yuan.

Madam Li sprinted all the way to Hua Jin Yuan.

There was only one thought in her mind, and that was to ask Shearer about it.

Xiang shi would lie to her, but Xi Le definitely wouldn’t.

Along the way, every girl she met wore white clothes, causing Madam Li’s eyelids to beat, and her heart to feel as if it was being grabbed by someone fiercely, unable to breathe.

Finally, Hua Jinyuan arrived.

Mrs. Li rushed forward and knocked on the door with a’pa pa pa ‘sound.

Finally, a little girl stepped forward and opened a slit in the door. When she saw that the woman standing outside the door was Madam Li, she was immediately shocked.

“Madam, you … why are you here?”

“Le’er! Where is Le’er! Quickly take me to see Le’er!” Madam Li forcefully squeezed through the crack in the door and ran towards Xiao Xile’s courtyard.

“Madam, you can’t go in … you can’t go in …” The little girl finally reacted and hurriedly chased after Madam Li.

Very quickly, Madam Li broke into Xiao Xile’s courtyard.

Xia’er was also surprised to see Madam Li barge in.

“Sister Xia’er, I, I can’t stop Madam.” The little girl said timidly to Xia’er.

Xia’er’s face turned pale. Before she could say anything, Madam Li had already shouted, “Le’er! Are you in the room? Come out and see Mother! Mother has something to ask you!”

Xiao Xile, who was in the room, suddenly heard Madam Li’s voice and was shocked. The burning paper money in her hand fell onto the paper, burning her to the point that she jumped up. However, she had no time to care and hurriedly pulled open the door and walked out.

“Mother, you, weren’t you in the Western Garden? You, why did you come out?”

Seeing Xiao Xile come out, Li shi immediately greeted him, “Le’er, tell me, why are all the girls in the manor wearing chimera clothes! Is something wrong?”

Xiao Xile’s face turned pale, and the fear in her pupils could not be concealed. She stammered, “Mother, who … who is chatting with you? No, nothing’s wrong! Hurry up and don’t listen to them.” After saying that, she hurriedly ran to Madam Li’s side and pulled her out of the door. “Mother, quickly go back to the North Garden! If people find out that you ran out, it would be over! Quickly go back!”

“Leave me alone! Tell me if something happens tomorrow!”

Suddenly hearing that name, Xiao Xile felt thunder rumble. Her pretty face was pale and paperless, her entire body was on the verge of collapse, and her mind was blank.

Seeing that Xiao Xile’s pale face was unable to utter a single word, Madam Li’s eyes widened. She grabbed Xiao Xile’s wrist and stabbed her sharp fingernails into her flesh. She shouted sharply, “Could it be that Madam Xiang’s words are true? Tomorrow he … he really had an accident? You … tell me, tell me if you told me that he had an accident tomorrow! Quickly tell me!” Madam Li grabbed Xiao Xile’s hand and screamed loudly. It seemed that only in this way could she vent the fear and fear in her heart slightly.

“Mother, you … you’re hurting me!” Seeing Madam Li’s ferocious face, Xiao Xile was extremely frightened. She raised her hand and desperately wanted to shake off Madam Li.

“Tell me! Quickly tell me!” Seeing that Xiao Xile hadn’t spoken, Madam Li almost went crazy.

“Mother, who … who told you that something happened to him tomorrow?” Xiao Xile was very scared by Madam Li’s ferocious and terrifying expression. She said in a trembling voice.

Just as Madam Li was about to speak, a gust of wind blew past and she smelled a faint scent from the tip of her nose. Her face darkened as she stared at Xiao Xile with scarlet eyes. “What’s the smell of your hands?” She said coldly.

Xiao Xile was shocked and hurriedly retracted his hand.

These two days, as long as she closed her eyes, she would hear Xiao Ximing Qili’s shout. She was very scared, so she hid in the house and kept burning the paper money, hoping that he would not pester her again.

Seeing Xiao Xile’s expression, Madam Li’s heart suddenly turned cold. She pushed Xiao Xile away and rushed into Xiao Xile’s room desperately.

“Mother! No!” Xiao Xile screamed and hurriedly ran over to pull Madam Li back.

“Clang!” The door was forcefully pushed open.

All the furnishings in the room were instantly visible.

A pair of white candles were lit at the two ends of the table. In the middle of the candles was a memorial melon and fruit. In front of the table was a brazier with unburned money paper.

Madam Li’s pupils suddenly dilated, and his entire body was on the verge of collapse, almost fainting.

Seeing that Madam Li saw all of this, Xiao Xile’s brain exploded. She subconsciously turned around and wanted to escape from the house. However, just as she took a step forward, Madam Li’s vicious and shrill voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

“What is this! Who are you burning paper for! Tell me! Tell me!” Mrs. Li turned around, her crimson eyes clinging to Xiao Xile like ghosts.

Xiao Xile slowly turned around and looked at Madam Li’s terrifying eyes. Her body softened and she fell to the ground. “Wow!” She cried bitterly, “Mom … I … I didn’t do it on purpose! I really didn’t do it on purpose … You don’t blame me! Don’t blame me …”

She really didn’t do it on purpose. She brought that glass of wine to Xiao Xiwei, but she didn’t know why she would come out tomorrow to drink that glass of wine. She really didn’t want to do it on purpose … If she wanted to blame Xiao Xiwei, then she would not have died tomorrow if she had drunk that glass of wine! Yes, it was all Xiao Xiwei’s fault! It was Xiao Xi who killed Ming’er! Not her! Not her! Not her!

“So … tomorrow, he, he really died?” Looking at Xiao Xile, who was crying out of breath, Mrs. Li finally couldn’t help but tremble.

Xiao Xile lowered her head and cried desperately, as if she wanted to suppress the fear, guilt, and unhappiness in her heart these past two days.

“Why didn’t you tell me the big thing! Why didn’t you tell me!” Madam Li desperately shook Xiao Xile’s shoulder and shouted.

“Mother, I’m sorry … I’m sorry … I, I didn’t do it on purpose … I really didn’t do it on purpose … It’s all Xiao Xiwei’s fault! It’s all Xiao Xiwei’s fault! It’s all Xiao Xiwei’s fault!” Xiao Xile gritted her teeth and screamed.

Xia’er, who had been guarding the door, heard Xiao Xile’s shrill and shrill voice. Her face was filled with fear and shock.

The poison in the wine was clearly planted by Third Miss, but she actually pushed everything onto Second Miss, thinking of the dead Hong Xiu …

A cold and frightening feeling surged out from the bottom of his heart.

“Xiao Xiwei! You said that Xiao Xiwei killed Ming’er!” Madam Li stared at Xiao Xile with his blood-red eyes.

Looking at Madam Li’s demonic appearance, her gaze was like a poisonous needle that had been tempered and shot towards her! Xiao Xile felt as if she was in hell, surrounded by evil spirits who wanted to take her life … She lowered her head in fear and covered her face with her hand, crying in fear.

“Speak! Did Xiao Xiwei kill my Ming’er? Speak! Speak!” Madam Li, who was even more irritated by Xiao Xile’s crying, pulled Xiao Xile up and shouted loudly.

“It’s her! It’s Xiao Xiwei! It’s all Xiao Xiwei’s doing! She killed Ming’er! It’s her! It’s her!”

“It’s really her! This bitch! How dare she kill my Ming’er! How dare she kill my Ming’er!” Madam Li angrily shook off Xiao Xile’s hand and raised his hand to sweep everything he could see on the ground.

A crackling sound came from inside the room. Xia’er, who was guarding the door, shrunk her neck and did not dare to snort.

The white candle that was lit on the table suddenly fell down and hit Xiao Xiwei’s hand. The snowy white skin immediately became a big bubble when the candle burned. Xiao Xile screamed and kicked the white candle away. She crawled to a corner and looked at Madam Li with a face full of fear. “Mother … Mother, don’t do this, I … I’m afraid …”

She was truly scared. At this moment, Madam Li was like a ghost crawling out of hell to find her way, causing her to feel a wave of fear.

“Speak! Where is that little bitch locked up now?” Madam Li’s eyes lit up with raging flames, and her sunken cheeks made her ferocious expression even more terrifying.

“Guan … no … no …”

“No! You mean she’s not locked up!” Madam Li stared at Xiao Xile with bloodshot eyes. His face was filled with disbelief, “She killed Ming’er. Didn’t your father lock her up to make her pay for her life?”

Xiao Xile forcefully suppressed the tears in her eyes and shook her head, “Father, father did nothing” At this point, Xiao Xile stopped. “Mother, you forget, Xiao Xiwei … she is the seventh prince’s unmarried princess … Father, father can’t let her pay for her life.”

This was not only to convince Madam Li, but also to convince her.

Even though they knew something, she was still the fourth prince’s unmarried princess. They … they definitely didn’t dare to do anything to her.

“What!” Mrs. Li’s hands were tightly clenched into fists, and her eyes were so red that they almost dripped with blood.

Xiao Yan! Xiao Yan actually dared to protect that bitch like this! Tomorrow is his own son! He actually watched helplessly as he was killed by that bitch and didn’t do anything!

No! No! She couldn’t let Ming’er die in vain! She couldn’t let her son die in vain!

Xiao Xile looked at Madam Li timidly and whispered, “Mother … you, don’t be impulsive … tomorrow, I’m already dead, I don’t … I don’t want to … I don’t want you to …”

“You useless thing! That little bitch caused you to lose all your face and even killed your brother, yet you hid here and did nothing! Are you still Ming’er’s biological sister?” Li shi glared at Xiao Xile with a gloomy expression.

“Wuwu” Xiao Xile hurriedly covered her face and cried after hearing Mrs. Li’s roar.

‘”Xiao Xiwei! I won’t let you off just like that!” After Li shi finished speaking, her gaze suddenly swept over the pair of scissors in the basket of needles and threads on the ground. She smiled coldly, bent down to pick up the scissors from the ground and held them tightly in her hand.

The cold light from the blade refracted Madam Li’s sinister and fierce gaze, causing Xiao Xile to feel fear in her heart. At the same time, a trace of uncontrollable excitement also surged out.

“Mother … you … what do you want to do …”

“What are you doing!” Mrs. Li smiled coldly, “I want to kill that bitch to avenge Ming’er!” After Mrs. Li finished speaking, she suddenly turned around and rushed out of the room.

Xiao Xile looked at Madam Li’s back and the fear in her eyes gradually faded.

If mother could kill Xiao Xiwei, then no one would pursue Ming’er’s sudden death! If Xiao Xiwei died, then she would be the only daughter of Zhongyong Marquis Mansion! In the future, no one would compete with her for it!

At this time, Xiao Xile had never thought about what would happen to Madam Li if Madam Li really killed Xiao Xiwei!
