After my rebirth, I was the most favored person in Beijing

Old Mrs. Chen naturally knew how much Chen Xun's mother cared about him, so when everyone was in chaos, she ordered people to drug Chen Xun and hide him.

Chen Xun's mother went out to look for Chen Xun when she saw that Chen Xun was missing, and because of this, she met the suffering prince.

The prince was in danger, so she naturally could not just sit there and do nothing. She saved the prince's life again, but she died.

Perhaps, because of this, the prince always takes too much care of the Chen family in secret. Old Mrs. Chen also understands in her heart that this is all because of her sacrifice.

"Do you know everything?" Old Mrs. Chen was frank and didn't want to hide it anymore. Since Chen Xun knew everything, it was useless for her to hide it. This was the only way to end the matter.

But she couldn't let Chen Xun completely leave the Chen family, otherwise would these people in the Chen family have to support the family?

Totally impossible.

After thinking this through, Old Lady Chen dismissed everyone. Chen, who was standing aside, had always been very dissatisfied with Chen Xun. Her brother-in-law held a high position, but was away from the mansion all year round. He had very little affection for the entire Chen mansion, so she was very dissatisfied with his marriage.

This is a marriage arranged by His Majesty. Even though the other party's family background is indeed inferior to that of the Chen family, it is already an honor to have His Majesty arrange the marriage.

Chen Xun could get such honor, but her son Chen Chu did not have this opportunity.

If Chen Xun hadn't kicked him out of the academy, her son would have reached his current position.

When she thought of this, she became extremely dissatisfied with Chen Xun, and it even showed on her face. Especially when she saw that her mother-in-law was about to kick them all out, and the governor wanted to leave the two of them alone to talk, how could she agree to this?

At that time, her mother-in-law told her that after Lin Xi entered the Chen Mansion, all housekeeper powers would be handed over to Lin Xi. How could she possibly hand over the housekeeper power?

Over the years, she has gained so many benefits in the Chen Mansion. It is impossible for her to give up now, even for Chen Chu.

What's more, Lin Xi is so much younger than her. If she told others that the housekeeper's power is in her hands, everyone would laugh at her. She strongly disagreed with this matter in her heart.

When Old Lady Chen saw that Chen didn't understand at all and was even secretly calculating her little thoughts, she looked helpless. It was impossible for her to tell Chen clearly about this matter. After all, this matter was a secret of the Chen family, and even her own son had not been told.

"Mrs. Chen, why don't you leave? What do you want to do here?" Old Mrs. Chen was already angry, but Mrs. Chen turned her head away and said quickly, "Mother, I will never agree to this. Under the current circumstances, if you hand over the housekeeper power to Lin Xi, what will I become? Over the years, I have paid so much for the Chen Mansion. Why can't you consider my contribution?"

"What has Chen Xun done for the Chen Mansion over the years? What do you say now is the truth? My wife is unwilling to hand over the housekeeping power to Lin Xi."

Chen stood straight in front of everyone. After hearing what she said, everyone held their breath. Everyone wanted to know what old lady Chen's attitude was. After all, under the current circumstances, if some things were said bluntly, they would directly tear their faces apart.

No one would have thought that Chen could be so stupid. Even Old Lady Chen did not expect that Chen could be so selfish. For the sake of a little bit of profit, he did not even think about what should happen to Chen Chu's future.

If someone in the court noticed that Chen Xun disliked Chen Chu, others would directly attack Chen Chu in order to make Chen Xun happy, or if Chen Xun's opponent deliberately set a trap for Chen Chu in order to deal with Chen Xun, but Chen Xun would not care, this matter would only hurt Chen Chu.

So, she decided to hand over the housekeepership of the Chen Mansion, just because of a step that could allow everyone to step down.

Yes, she gave in and lowered her head towards Chen Xun.

How could this matter not be shameful to her? What happened back then was originally the fault of the Chen family. She deliberately did not think about it or talk about it because under the current circumstances, if she did not say anything, no one knew what would happen.

Chen Xun looked coldly at the tug-of-war between the two people in front of him. How could he not see that this was Old Mrs. Chen, who had been proud for so many years, bowing to him for the sake of her back.

But, just because they bowed their heads, does that mean I have to take over the mess in the Chen Mansion?

Chen Xun couldn't possibly forgive them, nor could he truly accept them. "Back then, when I was in the private school of the Chen Mansion, you knew exactly how you treated me. Now that the Chen Mansion is in trouble, you want me to come back and give me the city gate. How could such a good thing be yours?"

"I won't deliberately embarrass Chen Chu, but there is only one thing. He should not provoke people he shouldn't provoke in the future."

Chen Xun had said all he wanted to say. Some things could not be made too clear. Under the current circumstances, some things could only be discussed later.

"This matter ends here. I will not go back to the Chen Mansion, and Lin Xi will not go back either. You don't need to think about this matter anymore. I will hold my wedding wherever I want. My last name is Chen, but do you really consider me a member of the Chen family?"

"Mother, if you check your conscience, you should know clearly that I am too soft-hearted if I don't deal with you."

After saying these words, Chen Xun left the Chen Mansion, and An Liang followed closely behind.

An Liang looked at Chen Xun's back with eyes full of distress. Back then, when Chen Xun lived in the old house, he had already followed Chen Xun. Naturally, he knew that in order to pass the imperial examinations, Chen Xun only slept four hours a day and worked day and night.

He finally succeeded, but he didn't expect that the people from the Chen family would come back to block his way. Fortunately, the prince was a grateful man, and when he learned about Chen Xun's experience, he sent people to help him. From then on, his master began to soar to fame, and even the Chen family couldn't suppress him at all.

"Master, Miss Lin is preparing to return to Yecheng." An Liang suddenly said.

Hearing this, Chen Xun paused as he was about to get on the carriage, turned around and stared at him with a deep gaze, asking, "Under what name did you go back?"

"Visiting relatives." An Liang said slowly, "But, could it be because Miss Lin noticed that something happened in Yecheng?"

This matter was also something that Chen Xun was worried about. If Lin Xi knew everything, he would definitely not sit idly by. He had no choice but to ask, "Do I have any official business that Yecheng hasn't dealt with yet?"

An Liang reacted immediately, bowed and saluted, and said loudly: "Master, there is still grain tax that is not clear."

"Grain tax, this matter is very important. It is better to find someone to explain it to as soon as possible. Under the current situation, no one knows who is behind the scenes and wants to harm others. Therefore, I have to protect Miss Lin a little more now. Anliang, do you think she will hate me because of this?"

An Liang shook his head, smiled and comforted, saying: "This matter is different. If Miss Lin knew, she would naturally understand your painstaking efforts. Moreover, under the current situation, no one knows what will happen. Protecting Miss Lin and not letting her know is naturally a good thing for her. Moreover, knowing will only add to her troubles."

An Liang knew that Chen Xun now had too many things in his mind, and there were some things he couldn't say yet. At that time, he decided to conceal the news of Yecheng, and Miss Lin knew nothing.

He sighed deeply in his heart, hoping that after Miss Lin found out, she would understand her master's painstaking efforts.

"Miss, are you going to take all these things back?" Chunhua looked at the pair of things in front of her and was very shocked, but Liuyun was much calmer than her. She rolled up her sleeves and helped Linxi pack up the makeup boxes.

"Chunhua, stop asking and come and help."

Liuyun's voice was faint. Ever since she came out of the palace and followed Lin Xi, she had become more and more calm. Even Chunhua, who had been with Lin Xi at the beginning, understood Lin Xi's thoughts better.

If something really happens in Yecheng, the things Lin Xi brought can help the Xie family there. If that doesn't work, they can also serve as decoration to let people in Yecheng know that Miss Lin is now the support of the Xie family in Yecheng.

Naturally, they did not dare to look down on the Xie family. The Xie family was still the Xie family that was respected by everyone. At least, things would be better in these matters.

"Liuyun, we still have to go and pay our respects to grandma. Grandma doesn't know about this yet. Please come with me first." Lin Xi stopped what she was doing. She had great respect for Grandma Lin in her heart. She was leaving today, so naturally she knew about this.

Old Mrs. Lin had been waiting for Lin Xi to leave for a long time. She was extremely anxious, but she couldn't show it on her face. During this period, a distant relative suddenly came from her hometown.

Originally, she had few relatives since she was a child and had never thought that she still had relatives in the world. Now that she saw the face of her cousin's granddaughter, she thought even more about her youth.

She was happy during this period, except when she heard that Lin Xi was going back to Yecheng.

"Grandma, Wan'er hasn't even met my cousin yet!" Song Wan'er smiled, took her hand, and spoke to Grandma Lin with a smile on her face.

Old Madam Lin felt a little tender towards Song Wan'er in her heart, so she smiled and said, "Lin Xi has a good temper, and you and she will definitely become good friends. However, she will be married soon, so you two won't be able to get along for long."

When it comes to this, Old Lady Lin is really worried that Lin Xi is marrying the wrong person. She has already sent people out to inquire about Mr. Chen, and he is not an easy person to get along with. But it is impossible to break off the engagement with him now.

Once the engagement is broken off, it will definitely cause a big uproar in the city. After all, this incident was also because Lin Xi was seen at that time.

Hey!

There was a glimmer of dejection in Old Mrs. Lin's eyes. She had originally hoped that Lin Xi could marry a good man, but she had not expected that his marriage would not be decided by her at all.

"Wan'er, I will definitely take good care of your marriage." Old Mrs. Lin held Song Wan'er's hand tightly. In her heart, she cared very much about her relatives.

Unexpectedly, at such an old age, she could still find another relative. She was very happy in her heart.

As soon as Lin Xi came in, he saw a woman with a gentle face and clear eyes. For a moment, he didn't know who this person was, but for the current situation, he could only tell her purpose.

"Granddaughter, hello, grandma." Lin Xi said as she bowed. She looked at the person standing next to her grandmother and asked, "Grandma, the girl next to you looks really pretty. I wonder if she is..."

Old Mrs. Lin touched her forehead and said with a smile: "This is my fault after all. This sister is from my hometown, two years younger than you. She is from Song Wan'er. Her family has left, leaving her alone, so I wanted her to accompany me."

"You, you, after all the things that happened, you didn't even come to tell grandma. You're leaving today, and you only come to me. You're really cruel."

Lin Xi quickly apologized: "Grandma, it's my fault. I was just thinking that I would talk to you after everything is settled."

"Forget it, this matter has passed and I won't talk about it anymore. Now I am just thinking about your future. What can I do? Under the current circumstances, you can only marry Mr. Chen. Although he is powerful, he may not be your ideal match. There are many things I haven't had time to tell you, and you are actually getting married."

When she thought of this, Mrs. Lin felt very upset. She knew that Lin Xi's identity was not simple, but she had always treated her as her own granddaughter and loved her since she was a child.

"This time, you must have made up your mind to go to Yecheng. I can't say more to you, but under the current circumstances, no one can say anything. Do you understand?"

Lin Xi nodded in agreement.

"But, no matter what, in any situation, you must remember to protect yourself first, and then think about others, understand?" She held Lin Xi's hands tightly. There were some words she had always wanted to say, but she could only say them when facing separation.

"Grandma, your granddaughter understands."

In front of everyone, Lin Xi bid farewell to Old Madam Lin and went out. However, when she looked at Song Wan'er beside Old Madam Lin, she felt very uneasy. She always felt that Song Wan'er, who looked so kind-hearted, would not do anything.

As soon as she went out, she met Shen Qingran who was waiting for her.
