The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 95

Chapter 095 To Whom
In the flower hall, the ladies gathered together to chat, and some of the young ladies at the banquet looked a little impatient.

‘”Look, these people are talking to their husbands and children. The ladies probably don’t like to hear this. How about this, Second Miss and Fourth Miss should take some ladies around the garden. The snow has stopped, and the plum blossoms in the garden are blooming just in time. They just fold a few and bring them back to put bottles.” Concubine Zhou smiled.

Concubine Zhou’s words didn’t seem like much on the surface, but when she heard them carefully, she had a faint hostess tone. The fourth young miss of the Marquis of Loyalty rarely appeared in public, Even if she came out, she was still quiet and timid. However, the Second Miss Xiao Xiwei’s wife had never heard of her. Before she could even get married, she was pointed at by the Emperor to the Seventh Prince. Not only that, she even held the housekeeper’s authority in her hands at a young age. How could she have done this without some means and thoughts? But now, Concubine Zhou actually spoke to her in such a tone in front of so many people. For a moment, the madams looked at each other, and they all revealed looks of good play.

Xiao Xiwei raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Concubine. Then, the corner of his mouth hooked slightly, “Then listen to Concubine.” After saying that, he beckoned the young miss out of the room.

The madams looked at each other and looked at Concubine Zhou with more vigilance and caution. It seemed that Concubine Zhou in front of her was really going to be helped to become her successor. Otherwise, why would Second Miss Xiao give her such face? Thinking of this, the madams put away all the contempt they had hidden in their hearts.

Xiao Xiwei had just led the group halfway when a girl hurriedly ran over and whispered a few words into Xiao Xiwei’s ear. After Xiao Xiwei finished listening, he waved his hand at the girl. Then, he turned to Xiao Xichun and said, “Chun’er, I remember that there are still some things that have not been dealt with. How about this, you take these ladies to the garden?”

“Second sister, this, this won’t do.” Xiao Xichun panicked.

Xiao Xi Wei patted Xiao Xi Chun’s shoulder and said, “What’s wrong? Look, last time I asked you to take care of my needles and threads, didn’t you do well? I don’t want you to take care of anything now, so I’ll accompany the ladies to the garden for a look.” After saying that, he smiled at Xiao Xi and led Zi Yan and Bi Yun away.

Outside Loyalty Marquis Mansion Gate.

A few rough servants guarding the door were blocking Li Qingfeng and Li Po who had just returned to the capital. Xiao Xiyang, on the other hand, was somewhat at a loss as he walked around the door. When he saw Xiao Xiwei coming over, he hurriedly welcomed him.

“Good sister, you’re here. If you don’t come, I really don’t know what to do.”

Normally speaking, the Li Clan was completely at odds with Zhongyong Marquis Mansion. No one expected that the Li Clan father and son would actually come to pay their respects to the Lunar New Year. Xiao Yan hated the Li clan, so he didn’t want to see them at all, so he asked Xiao Xiyang to send them out. Who would have thought that Li Qingfeng would say that he came to pay his respects to his cousin’s aunt, Old Lady Jun? No matter how much he refused to leave, it would not be good for him to forcibly chase her out during the Spring Festival. Moreover, even though Madam Li was divorced, Li Qingfeng was indeed Matriarch’s cousin. Therefore, it was perfectly reasonable for him to pay his respects to his cousin’s aunt, Therefore, Xiao Xiyang was so anxious that he couldn’t do anything about it. After a while, the guests who came to New Year’s Eve should take their leave. If Li Qingfeng started to make trouble at this time, then Marquis Mansion’s reputation would probably be lost. Xiao Xiyang couldn’t do anything about it, so he could only send the servant girl to hurriedly call Xiao Xiwei over.

Xiao Xi smiled and waved his hand to the servants blocking the door. He walked towards Li Qingfeng with a smile, “Is cousin greeting grandmother for the New Year? It’s just that grandmother’s body doesn’t want to see any guests, so I’m afraid that cousin will make a trip in vain.”

“You are just a junior, how can you speak here?” Li Qingfeng glared at Xiao Xiwei with a calm face and said.

Although he hadn’t been in the capital for two years, he had heard of her from others during the past few days. His wife was sent to the Martial Temple, his sister was taken away, his nephew was killed, and his niece was sent to Shuiyue Temple, all of which were done by this girl. If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have sent his daughter to Uncle Ping An as his concubine! This was all because of her!

“Father” Li Po frowned as if he wanted to stop Li Qingfeng from provoking Xiao Xiwei face to face, but he suddenly heard a few grinning sounds.

Xiao Xi raised her hand slightly to cover her lips and tilted her head slightly to the right. She wore a six-leaf palace flower hairpin on her head, and her long pendant was hanging by her ear. As she moved, her voice was cold and undisguised, mocking, “Could it be that I was just listening? Was Lord Li accusing me just now? I just don’t know who Lord Li was accusing me of?”

Li Qingfeng’s expression darkened. “I know that you are His Highness the Swallow King’s fianc é e and your status is noble, but no matter what, I am still your elder. Why, can’t the elders say a few words about you?”

“Father, stop.” Li Po hurriedly tugged at Li Qingfeng’s sleeve.

“Elder? Ha, even though my mother passed away, my grandmother and father are still alive. I don’t know why, but what cousin of yours has come to discipline me on behalf of my grandmother and father?” Xiao Xiwei sneered.

Li Qingfeng was speechless by Xiao Xiwei’s words. His face was green and white, and he was speechless for a long time.

At this time, a servant hurriedly ran out and said a few words in Xiao Xiyang’s ear with an awkward expression. Xiao Xiyang’s expression changed. He hurriedly turned around and knitted his eyebrows as he shouted at Xiao Xiwei, “Sister.”

Seeing Xiao Xiyang’s expression, Li Qingfeng changed his mind. He immediately opened his mouth and shouted, “Today, I’m here to pay my respects to my cousin’s aunt. What do you mean by blocking the door and not letting us in?” Is this how Zhongyong Marquis Mansion treats guests? ”

Sure enough, Li Qingfeng’s voice fell.

Xiao Yan walked out with a calm face. “What’s going on?” As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Xiao Xiyang.

Didn’t I tell you to send them away!

“Uncle.” Seeing Xiao Yan come out, Li Po hurriedly raised his hand and bowed.

Xiao Yan coldly snorted, “Young Master Li called the wrong person!”

Li Qingfeng’s expression changed, “A-Yan, what are you doing! What did Qing Mei do wrong? Are you going to divorce her?”

These past few years, Li Qingfeng had been on a smooth journey. He, a grass-roots citizen without any fame, had come to Su Yang to patrol the case. As soon as the Spring Festival came, he would immediately take up the post of Cheng of the Zuo Temple of the Dali Temple. However, it was too easy for him to forget that the reason why he had achieved so much today was because of his loyal and courageous relationship with Marquis Mansion. Not only did Li Qingfeng forget this, he even dared to look at Xiao Yan as if he had come to inquire. One could imagine how unsightly Xiao Yan’s expression was at this moment. If it weren’t for the presence of outsiders, he probably wouldn’t have been able to restrain himself from having them kicked out.

Xiao Xi raised her eyebrows slightly and said coldly, “Is my cousin asking for trouble from my father?”

Right now, all the guests were gathered at the door, and Xiao Yan’s expression was so gloomy that he almost dripped water.

A Dali Temple’s Zuosi Cheng, who had yet to take office, actually dared to come to his door and ask for his guilt! Xiao Yan really didn’t put him in his eyes at all.

Li Qingfeng’s chest looked at Xiao Xiwei’s increasingly venomous eyes. “I just want to clarify!”

“Ask clearly?” Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows again. “Why is Madam Li so clearly written on the divorce certificate? Even if she is a little unclear, I believe your wife and your sister will tell you!” Besides … “Xiao Xi paused slightly and sneered a few times,” It’s not a day or two since my cousin returned to the capital. If you really want to ask me clearly, I didn’t come to visit you in the past and waited until the first day of the lunar new year to come to visit you, and yet you are still in front of so many adults? Do you really just want to know? ”

“Cousin, Father has just returned. There are many misunderstandings that he is not clear about. Today, Father and I came here just to pay our respects to Aunt Cousin. By the way, I would like to say hello to her.” Seeing that Xiao Xiwei’s words had caused his father’s face to lose face, Li Po hurriedly stepped forward to rescue him.

“As I said, Grandmother has been resting in the Tranquil Garden for the past six months. I haven’t seen any guests.” Xiao Xiwei looked at Li Po and said indifferently.

“Nonsense!” Li Qingfeng shouted angrily.

The corner of Xiao Xiwei’s lips curled up, “There are many adults who have come to Marquis Mansion to pay their respects to the New Year today. If cousin thinks that I am deliberately making things difficult for you, he might as well ask them if they have seen grandmother before.”

“We know that the Matriarch is recuperating, so we don’t dare to disturb her.” Someone behind him echoed.

“Did your cousin hear that?” Xiao Xiwei raised his eyebrows and stared at Li Qingfeng with a faint smile.

“You’re such a good woman! You drove your stepmother crazy, chased away your younger sister, poisoned your younger brother, and now even imprisoned your own grandmother to prevent her from seeing anyone! What a poisonous mind!” Li Qingfeng pointed at the tip of Xiao Xiwei’s nose and said venomously.

Every single one of Li Qingfeng’s words was like a bolt of thunder, causing everyone’s ears to buzz. For a moment, suspicion, surprise, inquiry, and horror gathered in Xiao Xiwei’s eyes.

Driving his stepmother crazy, driving away his younger sister, poisoning his younger brother, imprisoning his grandmother, none of this was a monstrous crime. They really couldn’t imagine that this delicate and beautiful girl in front of them could do such a vicious and dehumanizing thing.

“Lord Li, don’t say such nonsense!” Someone in the crowd couldn’t help but say.

Li Qingfeng snorted coldly, “Tomorrow, that child is smart, smart, lively and active. He doesn’t even have a cold. How could he die in such a good state!”

Everyone looked at each other and was dumbfounded.

The sudden death of the Fifth Young Master of the Marquis of Zhongyong Manor was strange to all of them. However, there were a lot of things like this happening in the backyard. Therefore, no one dared to say anything. Now that Li Qingfeng had suddenly provoked them, everyone immediately shut their mouths.

If this Fifth Young Master was truly the victim of this Second Miss Xiao, then most of the other things Li Qingfeng said would probably be true.

“Li Qingfeng, did you come here today on purpose to spill my sister’s dirty water?” Hearing so much, Xiao Xiyang couldn’t help but roll up his sleeves and rush forward.

“Xi Yang.” Xiao Yan sternly shouted at Xiao Xiyang.

If Xi Yang really made a move in front of everyone, wouldn’t that be an indirect admission that Li Qingfeng’s words were true?

“Father, he slandered my sister.” Xiao Xiyang turned around and glared at Xiao Yan angrily.

Xiao Yan’s face was so green that it almost dripped water. However, his eyes stared at Li Qingfeng ruthlessly, “Tomorrow is the son I taught him personally. My heart aches the most when he dies! Do you think that I would ignore the cause of his death for a daughter?”

“Who knows? Son, you have more than one daughter, but you only have one daughter who is going to become Princess Yan! If not, why would you chase all the wives and daughters who know the truth out of the manor!” Li Qingfeng sneered.

Xiao Yan’s chest was filled with rage. If it weren’t for the fact that so many people were present, he would have really rushed over and strangled Li Qingfeng to death. These past few years, he admitted that he had treated the Madam Li siblings well, but he didn’t expect that one or two of them were all white-eyed wolves!

Just as everyone’s expressions changed, Xiao Xiwei, who had been silent all this while, suddenly laughed. “So Lord Li is not here to pay his respects to Grandmother, nor is he here to ask his father for an explanation for his sister. Instead, he is here for me.”
