The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 96
Chapter 096 And The Last Move
Rather than saying that Li Qingfeng was coming for her, it was better to say that the people behind Li Qingfeng were coming for her. How could Li Qingfeng, who had yet to take up his post, dare to brazenly face Marquis Mansion so brazenly!
Chu Yanzhi!
The corners of Xiao Xi’s lips curled up slightly, and a wisp of coldness flashed across her heart.
Last time, he had ordered Xiao Xile to poison her, but this time, he had made Li Qingfeng publicly slander her. Even though she was innocent, the rumors caused by such a large basin of dirty water were slight. Perhaps, there would be a hidden marriage between her and Chu Xizhi.
He really wished she were dead!
Back then, why didn’t the Crown Prince take his life with that arrow!
“Lord Li these words are loud, presumably there is enough evidence in his hands, since that is the case, why don’t Lord Li go to the martial temple drum instead ran to loyal Marquis Mansion to make a fuss? “Although this is the first day of the new year, since Lord Li is the incoming Left Temple Cheng of the Dali Temple, I’m sure Lord Qing Chang of the Dali Temple will give Lord Li face to open a court hearing no matter what!”
“Evidence? You’ve already held the Marquis of Loyalty in your hands. What evidence can I obtain from Su Yang? However, if someone is doing it, the heavens are watching! You know what you’ve done!” Li Qingfeng said coldly.
Li Po’s expression became even uglier. He signaled Li Qingfeng to stop talking a few times, but Li Qingfeng completely ignored him. A layer of fine sweat gradually oozed out from his forehead. He could vaguely feel that his father had not come to the Marquis of Loyalty Manor this time because he wanted to use this opportunity to repair his relationship with the Marquis of Loyalty Manor.
“People are doing it, the heavens are watching! That’s very good!” A solemn voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
Everyone turned their heads, only to see Matriarch standing behind him with a walking stick in one hand and Nurse Liu’s hand in the other. She was dressed in a dark purple blessed dress, with Zhaojun wiping her forehead, and an eight-treasured golden hairpin stuck in her temples. Although her face was slightly pale, her entire body contained an imposing aura that was neither angry nor angry.
“Auntie …” Li Qingfeng was also shocked when he saw the sudden appearance of the Matriarch.
“Aunt! Ah, I really can’t be Lord Li’s aunt!” The matriarch smiled coldly.
“Look at what Auntie said … Isn’t Auntie recuperating in the Marquis Mansion? Why is it so sudden …”
“Recuperate! With so many white-eyed wolves by my side, can I rest in peace?” The matriarch sneered as she pushed Nurse Liu’s hand away and walked to Li Qingfeng step by step. “I am loyal and courageous to Marquis Mansion. The ancestral hall still has a plaque of loyalty and righteousness given by the previous emperor. The matriarch is still guarding the land for the emperor when he is over fifty years old, and his son is also a rank three military assistant!” The emperor personally chose his grandson to join the Yan Cloud Guard, and the emperor personally gave his granddaughter a finger to marry King Yan! “I am loyal and courageous, waiting for the sect to be glorious. When is it the turn of a sixth-grade Dali Temple’s Left Temple Cheng to casually slander me!”
The Matriarch’s words were so forceful that there was no sound beside him. Li Qingfeng’s face was green and red, and he didn’t even dare to raise his eyes to look at her under the matriarch’s cold gaze.
“You bet! People are doing it, the heavens are watching! The most important thing in life is to have a bit of conscience! Your youth and sister have begged all the way to me. Has my Xiao Li Clan ever disliked your siblings in the slightest? Has the Marquis of Loyalty ever treated you unfairly in the slightest? Which one of them doesn’t have a loyal and valiant marquis to take care of? But now, your wings have hardened. From the sixth grade Dali Temple’s Zuoshi Cheng, he has such great prestige, he has come to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery to clamor! You even called me aunt one by one. You have the nerve to open your mouth and shout, but my old lady Fu Bo doesn’t dare to answer! ”
The old lady’s words were like a sharp blade, bloodshot as she peeled off Li Qingfeng’s face, exposing the dirty, naked face in front of everyone.
Xiao Yan was unable to say these words, and Xiao Xiyang and Xiao Xiwei were even more difficult to say. Only Old Lady Jun! Not only was she a loyal and courageous wife, she was also the cousin aunt of the Li siblings. She was both an elder and a benefactor to the siblings. Therefore, she could suppress Li Qingfeng with a single sentence, causing him to be unable to stand up straight.
“Auntie, Qing Feng doesn’t dare to forget your kindness to my siblings for a moment. I just want to find out the truth and seek justice!” Li Qingfeng couldn’t help but panic in his heart under the fierce and forceful aura of the Matriarch.
“The truth? Ha, good, since you want to know the truth so badly, then even if I lose the face of the Marquis of Loyalty, I will still give you justice! The reason why Xi Ming’s heart disease broke out was all because of the Li Clan’s mother and daughter!” The matriarch knocked hard on the cane, her eyes full of grief. “I really regret it!” If I hadn’t read the so-called nephew affection and turned a blind eye to Madam Li’s actions, how could she have dared Sihao to frame her stepdaughter without any scruples! Most of the ladies here have come to congratulate my old lady on her birthday, You should still remember that farce. In order to force Wei’er to marry, the Li Clan and the Qi Clan did not hesitate to publicly slander Wei’er’s innocence. Later, when the matter was revealed, I grounded the Li Clan and dragged the Qi Clan to the Dali Temple to be punished. Originally, they were responsible for all of this, but they hated Wei’er! Wei’er was given a marriage by the Emperor. They actually ordered Xi Le to put medicine in Wei’er’s wine glass, but they didn’t expect that the wine would be drunk by Ming’er who didn’t know what was wrong … “At this point, the old lady’s body shook. Fortunately, Xiao Xiwei and Xiao Xiyang rushed up to support her and said,” Son of a bitch! ” “You bastard …” The old granny knocked on her cane and tears gushed out of her eyes. “If it weren’t for my old woman’s soft-heartedness when she was adopted in the manor, how could such a thing have happened?” This is all my sin! ”
Li Qingfeng felt a chill run down his spine, but he still gritted his teeth and said, “No, that’s impossible! Even if they hold a grudge in their hearts, it’s impossible for them to poison the young miss of the Duke of Zhongyong in front of so many people. Aunt, even if you want to exonerate Second Miss Xiao, you shouldn’t have made up such a lie!”
“Lies! Heh! What do you think of me, old lady! Many of the madams in the manor were present at that time. Was Xiao Xile the one who brought the wine? But she was going to force Xiwei to drink it? “If a woman drinks that wine, she won’t be able to get pregnant again. However, she let that stupid child drink it tomorrow. The medicine caused her heart disease …” The matriarch suddenly coughed violently.
“Grandmother, stop talking.” Xiao Xiwei hurriedly reached out and patted the old lady’s back to help her breathe.
The old lady raised her head and shouted, “My loyal and courageous Marquis Manor is full of glory. The reputation that Old Marquis earned with his life is completely ruined because of my granny’s kindness …” She suddenly sucked in a few breaths of air, and then fell backwards straightforwardly.
“Grandmother …”
“Mother …”
“Matriarch …”
For a moment, the entrance of the Marquis Mansion was in a mess.
Xiao Xiyang took a few steps in front of Li Qingfeng and threw a punch at him. When he was about to lift his foot again, Xiao Yan shouted at him sternly.
“Yang’er! Help your grandmother in!”
“Father!”
Xiao Yan glanced at Li Qingfeng ruthlessly, “Such an ungrateful and shameless villain, why did you dirty your hands!”
Xiao Xiyang turned around and gave a forceful’pei ‘sound. Then, he and Xiao Xiwei helped the Matriarch into the room.
Li Po hurriedly walked over to help Li Qingfeng up. Just as Li Qingfeng sat down, he spat out a mouthful of blood and spat out two white teeth.
Xiao Yan coldly glanced at Li Po, then turned his gaze to the audience who were still watching the show. “This kind of thing happened today, I really neglected everyone.” Xiao Yan turned around and bowed to the people gathered at the door.
“I don’t dare, I don’t dare.” Everyone hurriedly saluted.
“I still have one more thing to trouble you all.”
“Lord Xiao, please speak.”
“I would like to invite all of you to bear witness. From today onwards, the Li Clan has nothing to do with our Marquis of Loyalty!” Xiao Yan raised his head and said in a deep voice.
Everyone glanced at each other and immediately agreed.
“I still have something to do, so I won’t send you guys off.” Xiao Yan bowed to the crowd once again and stepped into the Marquis Mansion without looking back.
Everyone either looked at the Li Clan father and son with contempt or gloated at their misfortune, and then got into their carriages.
Before long, this matter would probably spread throughout the capital.
Jingyuan.
“In the past, Old Grand Mistress used to be furious, causing the Qi and Blood Void to need to calm down and never get angry again, but now … Sigh!”
“Doctor, is my mother alright?”
The doctor shook his head and immediately went down to prescribe the medicine.
Xiao Yan’s expression darkened. He took the prescription and ordered people to grab the medicine. Then, he lifted the curtain and entered the inner room. In the inner room, the old granny leaned against the bed with a pale face and smiled as she pulled Xiao Xiwei’s hand. Xiao Xiyang stood quietly with his head lowered. Seeing him enter, the matriarch smiled at him, “Yan’er, what did the doctor say?”
Xiao Yan forcefully pulled the corner of his mouth and pulled out a smile. “It’s fine. The doctor said that mother might not be angry anymore.”
The matriarch smiled and said, “I’m afraid this matter hasn’t been exposed yet. I just don’t know what his last move is …”
“Mother …”
“Even though I’m old, I’m not blind. I raised Li Qingfeng by myself. Who is he? With his courage, if no one behind him dares to openly provoke him in Marquis Mansion?”
The tip of Xiao Yan’s nose sore, “My son is unfilial. He’s so old and he still worries my mother.”
‘”Yan’er, mother knows that you have a problem! Mother doesn’t blame you. Our loyal and courageous Marquis Mansion is in this position today. Even if you don’t want to lean into power, others will pull us in! Since we’re already in the bureau, let’s fight them. Who knows who loses and who won’t win! Cough cough …”
“Mother …”
“Don’t think about anything else. The soldiers will block it. The water will flood the earth … Your father was originally just a piece of cloth. He has tasted everything since he walked to this position today. There’s nothing we can’t afford to lose … Cough cough …” The matriarch coughed violently again before she could finish her sentence.
“Grandmother.” Xiao Xi hurriedly pulled out her handkerchief and covered her mouth with a bunch of Matriarchs, while raising her hand to support her back.
After a long time, the matriarch gradually stopped coughing.
Xiao Xi caught a glimpse of a wisp of Yin Hong in the handkerchief. His eyelids suddenly jumped and he quickly put the handkerchief into his embrace.
“Rather than letting others participate in a book, why don’t you write your own memorial to the Emperor tomorrow …”
“Yes.” Xiao Yan lowered his head and replied.
“Alright, I’m a little sleepy. All of you, go out” The matriarch waved her hand tiredly.
