The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 75

Chapter 075 All the Evidence Is Present
The man’s figure was tall and upright. His purple brocade robe embroidered with cherry blossoms made him look handsome and handsome. His long and narrow eyes glittered with evil charm and nobility. He was precisely the Seventh Prince, Chu Xizhi, who was the most beloved of His Majesty today.

“Your Highness, why are you here?” Seeing Chu Xizhi, Xiao Yan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he was slightly annoyed.

The so-called family scandal shouldn’t be exposed. No matter what the truth was about Xi Ming’s death, he didn’t want outsiders to know about it, especially since this person was still a prince.

“Originally, this was Lord Xiao’s family matter. Speaking of which, this prince should not interfere. However, this murder was aimed at this prince’s fianc é e, and this prince recognized this murder. This prince also gave this drama to Xiwei, so this prince has no choice but to go this time.” Chu Xizhi looked at Xiao Yan and pursed his thin, vermilion lips. A faint smile poured out from the corner of his lips. “Lord Xiao, you won’t be surprised, will you?”

Xiao Yan’s expression changed.

What? The Seventh Prince already knew everything.

After being surprised, Xiao Yan quickly regained his composure. He hurriedly blessed Chu Xizhi, “This lowly official does not dare.”

Originally, this was only a matter of the Xiao Clan’s inner mansion. He really couldn’t figure out why the Seventh Prince was involved in this matter. Was it just for Xiwei?

Not only was Xiao Yan surprised, even a trace of surprise flashed across Xiao Xiwei’s eyes. Only Xiao Xiyang inadvertently smiled when he saw Chu Xizhi appear.

With Zimu around, let’s see who else dares to throw dirty water on his sister.

Chu Xizhi, who was invited to sit on the high chair, raised his eyebrows and looked down at Xiao Xile, who was still kneeling on the ground. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Just now, Third Miss Xiao said that this certificate play was a forgery? So, Third Miss Xiao suspects that this prince is framing you?”

Being swept by Chu Xizhi’s gaze, Xiao Xile lowered her head in panic, her hands firmly pulling the handkerchief in her hands, her entire body as if she had fallen into an abyss, not knowing how to respond.

“Why isn’t Third Miss Xiao talking anymore?” Chu Xizhi smiled softly and looked at Xiao Xile.

Her sharp fingernails pierced into her skin, causing bursts of stinging pain, but even so, she couldn’t hide the panic and fear in her heart.

“Evil tent, you still refuse to tell the truth!” Xiao Yan was furious.

Xiao Xile was so scared that her neck shrank. She hid behind Madam Li and said, “No … it’s none of my business! I didn’t do anything! I didn’t do anything!”

“Looks like Third Miss Xiao is not going to tell the truth.” As Chu Xizhi spoke, he used his slender fingers to regularly hit the table. His’da da da ‘voice accompanied by the smile on the corner of his lips caused people to feel uneasy and frightened from the bottom of their hearts. “That’s right. Third Miss Xiao thought that she had destroyed the evidence of her crime, so how could she admit it so easily?”

Chu Xizhi’s words were like a life-threatening spell that was pinned onto Xiao Xile’s body. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Chu Xizhi, her body gradually becoming cold.

“Oh right, that girl named Hong Xiu beside Third Miss Xiao? Why didn’t you see her?” Seeming to think that Xiao Xile’s expression was not good enough, Chu Xizhi added lightly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Xile’s eyes almost jumped out, and her entire body was on the verge of collapse. Even Xia’er, who was hanging her head behind her, felt as if she had been heavily hit, and the color on her face had gone.

Xiao Xiwei knew that there was no reason why Chu Xizhi would mention an insignificant girl. There must be something hidden between them. These past few days, she had been busy investigating the truth of Xi Ming’s death, busy taking care of the funeral, and coupled with Old Granny Jun, she was so busy that she didn’t even care about a single girl. Now that she heard Chu Xizhi mention this, she suddenly remembered that she had never seen Hong Xiu since tomorrow’s death. Even when tomorrow’s funeral was held, Xia’er was the only one accompanying Xiao Xile. Thinking back to what happened at the banquet that day, could it be …

“Red Rain.” Xiao Xi turned to look at Hongyu.

In the past few days, the affairs of the Marquis Manor had been very troublesome, so the servant girl had left everything to Hong Yu to take care of.

“A few days ago, Xia’er received a sign from this servant saying that Hong Xiu went outside to get medicine for Third Miss …” Hong Yu’s expression darkened, and then he blessed Xiao Xiwei. “Miss, forgive me, this servant will go check it out now.” After saying that, he got up and was about to leave.

“There’s no need to investigate.” Xiao Xiwei waved his hand coldly.

When Chu Xizhi said that, there was no need to guess Hong Xiu’s whereabouts …

Xiao Xiwei turned to look at Xiao Xile. Even though her face was filled with pale terror, she still couldn’t conceal her gorgeous appearance. Who would have thought that such a beautiful leather pouch would hide such darkness and viciousness?

“Where is she?” Xiao Xiwei withdrew his gaze in disgust and turned to look at Chu Xizhi calmly.

Chu Xizhi was stunned for a moment, then he put away the careless smile on his lips and said, “In the abandoned well in the backyard of Huajin Garden.”

Indeed …

“Father, I’ll send someone to take a look.” Xiao Xiyang hurriedly said to Xiao Yan.

The veins on Xiao Yan’s forehead twitched as he stared fiercely at Xiao Xile, as if he wanted to devour her alive.

What else could he say now? Even if the Seventh Prince was standing here with such a big Buddha, he couldn’t conceal it even if he wanted to!

Xiao Xiyang quickly returned.

A corpse that was swollen from the blisters was quickly carried in. Fortunately, it was late autumn and the well water was cold, so the corpse did not stink. Although the corpse’s face was blurry, it was still discernible. Surprisingly, it was Xiao Xile’s eldest girl, Hong Xiu.

When he saw the corpse, Xiao Xile tried her best to restrain herself, but her body couldn’t help but tremble, and a layer of fine sweat even appeared on her forehead.

“Master” Third Concubine was also frightened by the corpse that was brought in and subconsciously grabbed onto Xiao Yan’s clothes.

Xiao Yan coldly glanced at her and said angrily, “If you’re afraid, go back to your Rain Hearing Pavilion.”

Third Concubine was so frightened that he loosened his grip and hurriedly lowered his head.

Zhou Shumei was originally a little panicked, but seeing Third Concubine getting scolded, she could only suppress herself.

Xiao Xichun was still young, and when he saw her corpse, he was so scared that he clenched Nanny Xiao’s hand tightly.

“Nurse Xiao, you can bring fourth sister back first.” Xiao Xiwei turned to look at Nurse Xiao and said indifferently.

Seeing Xiao Xiwei’s words, Nanny Xiao looked at Xiao Xiwei gratefully as if she was about to receive an amnesty. She hurriedly said ‘Yes’ and helped Xiao Xichun leave quickly.

Fourth Young Miss had just entered the Marquis Manor, and her heels had not yet stabilized, so it was not appropriate for her to be involved in these battles in the Marquis Manor.

Xiao Xiwei walked to Hong Xiu’s corpse and slowly squatted down, stretching out his hand towards the corpse.

“Sister” Xiao Xiyang hurriedly called her.

Xiao Xiwei, however, had already reached out and pulled out a golden hairpin from the corpse’s chest. She stood up and slowly turned to Xiao Xile with the hairpin. “Sister, does this hairpin look familiar to you?”

The moment Xiao Xile saw the golden hairpin in Xiao Xiwei’s hand, she felt as if her chest was being forcefully grabbed by someone. She felt sullen, panicked, and terrified. She felt as if she had been pushed into a pool of water. She desperately wanted to breathe but could not.

“Second young miss, we also found this in the well.” At this moment, a servant knelt on the ground with a soaked parcel. When he opened the parcel, there were a few broken pieces of porcelain lying inside.

Finished …

Everything is over …

Xiao Xile’s heart was filled with despair as if a drowning person had been sucked away the last straw. She was completely paralyzed in Madam Li’s embrace.

“It’s just a girl! What does this mean?” Madam Li hugged Xiao Xile and shouted disapprovingly.

Xiao Xile’s cold gaze swept towards Madam Li, and a mocking sneer flashed across her lips.

Even though Madam Li said that she didn’t believe her words, the faint trembling in her voice still revealed her fear and uneasiness.

If it was her, she would rather die than believe that her son had been poisoned to death by her daughter.

“That’s right! It’s just a girl, why didn’t you let go of a girl! Is it because you know that if Hong Xiu is alive, sooner or later, she will reveal the matter of poisoning you to death!”

“No … no …” Xiao Xile covered her ears with both hands and clenched her teeth as she shook her head desperately.

“You must be very strange, why did you let Xia’er take that poisoned cup, why, I still have one in my hand. That’s because I deliberately let Zi Yan take a broken cup and let Xia’er find it. I’ve suspected you since the moment I fell into my arms tomorrow. Xiao Xiwei threw the golden hairpin in his hand in front of Xiao Xile, his voice cold and hard. “The reason I didn’t say it until now is because I want the deceased to be here. I want Ming’er to finish this final journey well. Secondly, I also want to give you a chance. I didn’t expect that you didn’t have the slightest bit of repentance!”

In fact, she had never thought of giving Xiao Xile a chance to repent. In her previous life, she still remembered her betrayal and ruthlessness. She had never thought of forgiving her. The reason why he said this was to make Xiao Yan hate her even more!

“Xiao Xiwei! You clearly killed me tomorrow. You can’t blame Le’er for this! I won’t believe it! I won’t believe it!” Madam Li hugged Xiao Xile and roared at Xiao Xiwei. After that, she lowered her head and stroked Xiao Xile’s pale face. “Le’er, don’t be afraid. With Mother here, Mother will protect you! No one can hurt you!”

Xiao Xile suddenly woke up from her daze. She hurriedly jumped up and hugged Madam Li, “Mother, Mother, you have to save me! I was wronged! I was wronged!”

“I know, I know! I know that my Le’er is the most obedient! It must be that little bitch Xiao Xiwei who deliberately set up such a trap to harm you! I know! I know!” Madam Li hugged Xiao Xile and said repeatedly.

Xiao Xi Yang’s expression was so gloomy that he almost dripped water when he saw Madam Li spitting out a mouthful of bitches. When he looked at Xia’er who had been kneeling behind Xiao Xi Le trembling, his anger seemed to have found a vent. He said with a sullen face, “You, if you want to live, you’d better tell me everything you know!” If you have anything to hide, you and your family can all go down and accompany this girl! ”

Xia’er trembled and raised her eyes to look at Xiao Xile. In the end, she couldn’t resist the fear in her heart. She slowly straightened her body and was about to speak when Xiao Xile, who had been lying in Madam Li’s arms, suddenly pounced over. Her hands tightly pinched her neck and shouted, “Don’t talk! Don’t talk!”
