The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 9

Chapter 009 Hui Ji Is Bound to Be Injured
Not long after Nurse Cui left, Hong Yu walked in. “Miss, everything is settled. Everything is as Miss expected. However …”

“Just what?” Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Hongyu with some doubt.

Hong Yu paused and thought for a while before continuing in a low voice, “It’s just that this servant bumped into someone.”

“Who?”

“Seventh Prince.”

Chu Xizhi!

Xiao Xiwei’s eyelids jumped, and a dark surge that even she could not distinguish suddenly surged in her heart.

If there was someone in this world that she could not face, then it could only be Chu Xizhi. However, in her previous life, she remembered that Chu Xizhi had never been to Chao An Temple at this time. Why would he suddenly appear here? Also at that time, he said …

It’s you …

Xiao Xiwei suddenly stood up. Why did he say that?

“Miss, Hong Yu, what are you talking about?” Bi Yun was confused and confused.

“It’s fine. This is a family affair of the Marquis of Loyalty. I don’t think he will interfere.” Xiao Xiwei calmed down slightly and said to Hongyu indifferently.

The next morning, news came that Tao Xing, who was beside Third Miss, had made a mistake and was sent down the mountain.

When Xiao Xiwei heard this, he couldn’t help but raise a cold smile on his lips.

Yesterday, when she casually mentioned Peach Apricot in front of Nurse Cui, her heart became extremely guilty. She sent Peach Apricot away so quickly, how could she not know that this desire to cover it up made people even more suspicious!

Old Lady Jun Su wrote to Buddha and rarely came to Chao An Temple. So, she got up early in the morning to freshen up. As soon as she finished washing up, the girl came to report that the second young miss was here. Soon, Xiao Xiwei walked in wearing a light blue wide-sleeved Flowing Immortal dress with two girls.

“Xi Wei greets grandmother.” Xiao Xiwei walked over to the matriarch and bowed.

The matriarch nodded and waved her hand, “Get up.”

Madam Li had already unknowingly spread her image of being domineering and ignorant to everyone, so it was within her expectations that the Old Lady Monarch would treat her coldly.

“Second young miss, why did you come here so early this morning to greet Matriarch?” Granny Liu was afraid that Xiao Xiwei would be embarrassed, so she quickly smiled and tried to smooth things over.

Xiao Xiwei lowered his eyes and smiled. “I heard that every time Grandmother came, she would invite Grand Master Hui to lecture. Granddaughter is stupid. She also wants to hear it.”

The matriarch was a little surprised. She turned to look at Xiao Xiwei, only to see her eyes shining brightly. It didn’t seem like she was just saying, “It’s good that you have such a heart. It’s just that listening to scriptures is dull and boring. You’re still young and lively, so you can’t sit still.”

“Grandmother, I remember that father said that a girl’s temperament should be calm. Therefore, Xiwei wants to listen to the scriptures with grandmother to temper his temperament. Please allow me to do so.” Xiao Xiwei said.

The matriarch frowned slightly. After looking at Xiao Xiwei for a while, she finally nodded and said, “It’s good that you can bear it.”

Hearing that, Xiao Xiwei smiled and hurriedly walked to the old lady’s side to support her hand.

Chao An Temple had always been regarded as a national temple by Great Yue, and the Aunt Hui Shi in the temple was even more respected and respected. She was often invited by the Empress Dowager to lecture in the palace.

“Amitabha.”

Seeing the matriarch enter, Hui clasped her hands together and said,

Xiao Xiwei followed the Matriarch and bowed to Hui with her hands folded together. When she raised her head again, she could clearly see Hui’s appearance. She looked like she was about fifty years old. Although her appearance was ordinary, there was a hint of compassion between her brows.

“Benefactor is also here.” Liao Hui raised her eyes and smiled at Xiao Xi.

“Little girl came with grandmother. Please don’t blame her.” Xiao Xiwei bowed.

“Benefactor, you have a heart.” After saying that, he sat down on the prayer mat and closed his eyes with his hands clasped together.

“Amitabha.” The matriarch said and sat down.

Liao Hui began to slowly preach the scriptures.

“Benefactor, you’ve heard so much from Poochie. Do you have any enlightenment?” Liao Hui suddenly looked at Xiao Xiwei and said.

Xiao Xiwei raised his head and looked straight at Hui with his clear eyes. “Everything is illusory, only the heart.”

Liao Hui looked at Xiao Xiwei, her eyes filled with shock. After a long time, she clasped her hands together and whispered, “Amitabha, benefactor Hui Zhi Lan Xin is able to comprehend the admiration of poor nuns here. Everything starts from the heart and grows from the heart. Everything is illusory, only the original heart.”

“Grandmother must have something else to ask the teacher to do, so I won’t disturb her.” Xiao Xi smiled faintly, bowed to Hui and retreated.

Hui watched as her back disappeared at the door. Finally, she let out a long sigh.

“Why is Aunt Shi sighing?” The matriarch was puzzled.

After Hui Changchang said this, he slowly closed his eyes and said, “Old Granny, you’ve made granddaughter extremely intelligent. However, Hui Ji will definitely be injured! Amitabha …”

Just now, when the young girl said that she only had her own heart, she could clearly feel the suppressed hostility on her body. I’m afraid that everything is illusory, and the original heart is not the original heart.

“Granny …” The old granny was a little anxious when she heard this.

“Old Lady, your granddaughter is an extremely filial child. She has offered up the Diamond Sutra and the Fahua Sutra and prayed for your blessings in front of the hall since early this morning. Please take care of her. Amitabha.” After Hui finished speaking, he twisted the Buddhist beads and began to chant the Buddhist scriptures.

The matriarch knitted her eyebrows, but she still retreated towards Hui Nian and said ‘Amitabha’.

As soon as the matriarch left, Hui twirled the Buddha Pearl’s hand and slowly opened her eyes.

The evil aura hidden around the young girl must have been humiliated. I hope that Old Lady Jun’s kindness will let her let go of her resentment and turn around.

Xiao Xiwei walked out of the hall and directly went to the study room. She personally instructed her masters to cook some of the old lady’s favorite Ramadan meals before returning to her room to continue copying the Buddhist scriptures. However, she knew that no matter how many Buddhist scriptures she wrote, she would not be able to wash away the hatred in her heart.

“Second Miss, Nurse Liu is here.”

Halfway through copying the scriptures, she heard the crisp voice of Red Rain. Immediately after, Granny Liu walked in wearing a green robe beside the Matriarch.

“This servant greets Second Miss.”

“Nanny Liu, please get up.” Xiao Xiwei stood up and personally helped Nanny Liu up. “Why is Nanny Liu here? Does Grandmother have something she needs Wei’er to do?”

“No, Old Granny heard that Second Miss likes pear blossom cake the most, so she sent me some.” As Nurse Liu spoke, he signaled the girls to put the pastries on the table.

Xiao Xiwei looked at the exquisite plate of cakes on the table and smiled sweetly. “Thank you, grandmother.”

Although the pastries were small, what mattered was the old lady’s attitude.

This meant that what she had done in the past two days had caused the old lady to change her attitude towards him.

“Second young miss, are you copying Buddhist scriptures?” Nurse Liu passed Xiao Xiwei and landed on the table behind her.

“Yes.” Xiao Xiwei stood in front of Nanny Liu with some bad intentions. “My ugly handwriting made Mom laugh.”

Nurse Liu curved his lips and smiled, “Although this servant can’t read, I think that Second Miss’s handwriting is excellent just by looking at it.”

“Mammy will make me happy.” Xiao Xi lowered her head slightly and became even more embarrassed.

Nurse Liu smiled and said, “Then this servant will not disturb Miss. I will leave first.”

Xiao Xi smiled and said, “Hongyu, send Mammy off for me.”

“Yes.” Hong Yu smiled and blessed her body.

After leaving the courtyard where Xiao Xiwei lived, not far away, his uncle’s voice suddenly came from in front of him.

“Guess who I bumped into at the Origin Opening Palace yesterday?”

“Who is it?”

“The fourth prince of the current dynasty!”

“What’s so strange about this? The Fourth Prince has come to our temple to pray for Concubine Li. What’s so strange about you bumping into him in the Origin Opening Palace?”

“Of course it’s not strange, but I saw another person. Guess who?”

“Stop trying to play tricks on me, hurry up and tell me!”

“Third Miss of Marquis Mansion, loyal and courageous.” The uncle smiled mysteriously at first, then went to another uncle’s ear and said, “You didn’t see that third young miss pulling the corner of the fourth prince’s clothes, her face flushed with embarrassment … Tsk tsk, I think that third young miss must have taken a fancy to the fourth prince, what a pity …”

“What a pity?”

“It’s a pity that the expression of the Fourth Prince at that time seems to be very ugly. I guess he didn’t take a fancy to her!” The uncle laughed bitterly as he pinched his throat.

Hong Yu’s face darkened as she harshly said, “Who is it that is chatting around there? Scram out!”

The two siblings were frightened pale by Hongyu’s cold shout. Without saying a word, they hid in the hall.

“Nanny Liu, our third young miss recited the kindness of saving His Highness the fourth prince’s life last time. However, she personally went forward to express her gratitude. For some unknown reason, these young ladies actually spread the news so wildly.” Hongyu supported Nanny Liu’s hand and said. She blessed Nanny Liu. “Nanny, this servant still wants to send the scriptures copied by Miss to the main hall for worship. This servant will leave first.” After saying that, he turned around and left.

When Nurse Liu returned to the old lady’s room, the old lady was leaning against the couch and drinking tea. Seeing her come in, he placed the teacup on the table, picked up the jade bead string on the table, and said, “I’ve sent them all.”

“Yes. When this servant left, Second Miss was copying Buddhist scriptures in the room.” Said Nurse Liu.

The corners of the old lady’s lips pursed, “This girl seems to be much more stable than before.” After saying that, she raised her eyes to look at Nurse Liu. “Did you hear anything along the way?”

When Nanny Liu heard this, she knew that the Matriarch already knew about the Third Miss. It was hard to hide anything from her. She could only go forward and help her beat her legs while saying, “It’s all because these uncles have nothing to do for a long time. There’s no need for the Matriarch to take this matter to heart.”

Hearing Nurse Liu’s words, the matriarch knitted her eyebrows and tightened the string of Buddha beads in her hand. After a long while, she said to Nurse Liu with a calm face, “There must be wind to catch and shadow to catch in order to catch the wind and shadow! I heard that the peach and apricot beside Third Girl have been sold?”

“I heard that you stole Third Miss’s jewelry!”

“Hmph! The girls beside her are all carefully chosen by her. How can she not see anything like this!” The matriarch smashed the jade bead string in her hand onto the table. “Go and take care of it. We will return to the manor tomorrow morning.”

Seeing Old Lady Jun’s unfriendly expression, Nurse Liu hurriedly answered. He immediately left the room and began to take care of the matters of returning to the manor.
