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

Lin Xi looked at the group of people in front of him and knew that they were just unwilling to give up, but this matter could not be escalated to this point.

"If you really cut off ties with the Xie Mansion now, Chunhua." Lin Xi said lightly. Chunhua, who was standing aside, immediately stood up and replied to Lin Xi, saying, "Miss."

Seeing how confident Lin Xi was, some of them said unconvincedly, "How can you, an outsider, get involved in the Lin family's affairs?"

Although they knew that Lin Xi was Mr. Lin's niece, it was unthinkable for someone from another family to take care of their uncle's family affairs.

"Why can't I manage it? Can it be that I can no longer manage the affairs of the Lin Mansion?"

"What's more, I came back this time because of my engagement. I specifically came back to tell my mother about what happened at the Xie Mansion. Why can't I say a word? I also have the blood of the Xie family."

When Mr. Xie heard Lin Xi's words, he sighed. He knew that Lin Xi was thinking about her, but there were some things that he couldn't say now. In the final analysis, this was the only way to deal with the matter.

"Since you want to split up, then with the permission of the clan elders, do it. I agree to this matter, but there is only one thing. The account books my father left behind were not to plot against you, but because the Xie Mansion has nothing to offer."

After listening to his uncle's narration, Lin Xi already knew that the Xie family was now penniless in the mainland, and outside, their reputation that they had built over many years had been ruined.

Now, all the criticism is directed at my grandfather, but his health is getting worse day by day. He has been struggling in the cell and is basically unable to survive.

When she thought of this, she began to feel sad.

What on earth could make my grandfather feel that it is more precious than the Xie Mansion?

No matter what time, this matter, after all, can no longer be delayed.

"Have you thought about it?"

Lin Xi spoke decisively again. She had already seen that the people in front of her were members of the Xie family. How could she be willing to really leave the Xie family? Now she was just forcing her uncle to tell the truth.

However, looking at her uncle's expression, she was afraid that her grandfather had not even told her uncle about this matter, so few people would know about it.

After that, the crowd dispersed unhappily.

Lin Xi knew that they would come again to cause trouble for separation.

But when Mr. Xie saw Lin Xi, his expression was not very good, so he asked: "Why did you come back to Yecheng? This is not the place for you to stay. Go back to your capital city?"

Lin Xi knew her own life experience, and now she wanted to know more about it. She didn't know how much her uncle knew, and now she was just waiting for this matter to be resolved.

When Mr. Xie saw Lin Xi's bright-eyed Huang, he wanted to say something but stopped himself. He never spoke again. He just waited until this moment came, and some words were stuck in his throat.

Lin Xi knew that the matter had already become public, and rumors were spreading about the Xie Mansion. This group of people had dispersed today, but they might not stay with the Xie family in the future.

Ever since those people left, my uncle has been refusing to see me.

She had known since she was a child that the people in the Xie Mansion didn't like her, but she didn't expect that they were still so cold to her now.

·······

In the Lin Mansion, Xu always felt that Lin Xi was out to jinx her. She made a decision secretly and finally made up her mind today.

In the evening, Lin Hewen returned home from outside.

Some time ago, he often went to Madam Wen's courtyard and left Xu aside. But today, for some reason, he missed Xu very much. He even missed the few years when he was young with Xu. They had a really good relationship.

In order to marry Xu, he even went against his mother's wishes for the first time.

However, he didn't know when his feelings towards Xu changed. Now he felt guilty whenever he saw Xu, so much so that he didn't dare to see her.

In Lin Hewen's heart, he also knew that Xu had changed a lot, and was even willing to bow her head for him. These things were things he dared not even think about. Now he thought of Xu bowing her head, even being humble.

How could he not feel sad in his heart? When he thought of this, a deep sense of apology appeared on his face. He asked the ear room beside him, "Madam, have you rested?"

The servant in the ear room replied, "Not yet. Madam hasn't been resting well these past few days and often calls the doctor to check on her health in the middle of the night."

Hearing this, Lin Hewen immediately became anxious, "Why did she suddenly become unwell? Hasn't she always been in good health?"

In Lin Hewen's impression, Xu rarely fell ill, and when she did, she needed him to be by her side to get better. Now she had been sick for several days in a row, and he didn't even know it. It seemed that she was deliberately hiding it from him. This matter made him more and more scared.

"Why, why don't you take me to see the mistress now?"

Lin Hewen was really angry. He raised his foot and rushed to Xu's yard. The cool breeze blowing along the way made his mind clearer and clearer.

The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt. What on earth had he done to Xu during this period of time?

He walked all the way to the outside of Xu's yard, and suddenly he didn't dare to go in. He stood at the gate and looked at the dim light in the house from afar. He could go in whenever he wanted before, but now he didn't dare to go in.

I didn’t know how to face Xu, let alone how to deal with it.

"Master, why don't you go in?" How could the servant in the ear room understand his change of mood? He just looked at the master standing at the door motionlessly, feeling very confused.

However, when Lin Hewen heard the servant's words, he didn't dare to go in. He was afraid to see Xu's eyes that showed a sense of alienation towards him, and he was afraid that he was really the unfaithful man who was unwilling to accept the favor.

He pursed his lips tightly, and after a long while, he finally said, "Go to Madam Wen's place."

Hearing this, the servant said, "Hey." Then he turned around and held a lantern for Lin Hewen, and whispered to him, "Master, the eldest daughter is getting married now, and it is the will of His Majesty. Should we prepare for this? Otherwise, people outside will think that you don't take this marriage seriously."

Lin Hewen was suddenly startled by these words.

Yes, now the most important thing for the Lin family is not anything else but Lin Xi’s marriage. If it gets out that he does not pay enough attention to Lin Xi’s marriage, doesn’t that mean he does not pay enough attention to His Majesty’s edict?

This is a deadly job.

When he thought of this, he stopped immediately and said, "Let's go to the mistress's yard."

This matter must be discussed with the Xu family, but after all, it cannot be done immediately.

When Xu saw Lin Hewen suddenly coming to her courtyard, she was happy, but seeing that she didn't say anything, she just kept silent. She didn't expect to see her hesitate to speak several times.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Why haven't you spoken since you came in? x" When Xu saw Lin Hewen like this, she knew that she must have something to say, but it was difficult for her to say it now.

Lin Hewen was silent for a while, then he looked up at Xu, whose face was gradually showing traces of time. He felt mixed emotions, but he had to speak for the future of the Lin family, "I came here today for Lin Xi's wedding."

"You also know that Lin Xi's marriage was arranged by His Majesty. Even the Queen is very fond of Lin Xi. Naturally, our Lin family cannot take this marriage lightly. We must take this matter very seriously."

"I also know that I broke the agreement between us and made you sad, but Lin Xi doesn't know about this and will still treat us the same way as before. Don't worry, we are her elders and she won't dare to do anything to us."

"You still have to treat us respectfully."

People were coming and going in front of the Chen Mansion on Zhuque Street.

Today was supposed to be the happy occasion of the Chen family welcoming a bride, but everyone had a cold look on their faces.

Outside the bridal chamber, the maids were whispering without restraint.

"I heard that the Third Madam and the Third Master were spotted in the warm room?"

"The Third Master was schemed against. Everyone knows that the Third Master likes..."

Before the sarcastic voice finished speaking, a little maid Chunhua ran out from the bridal chamber and scolded them: "Have you finished your work? If you continue to make up stories about the master, I'll tear your mouths apart."

Seeing that they had all quieted down, Chunhua went back into the room and closed the door tightly, as if this would prevent the discussions outside from coming in.

"Miss, it's my fault." Chunhua's eyes were misty and she bit her lip, "You were also plotted against that day."

It was clear that the girl was engaged to the eldest son of the third branch of the Chen family, but on the day of the engagement, the girl drank a cup of water of unknown origin and fainted in the warm room, and she was led away by someone.

Afterwards, someone saw the girl and Mr. Chen San lying unconscious in the warm room.

Others said that this was done by the young lady, but she knew that this matter was closely related to the second young lady and it concerned the reputation of the women in the Jiang family, so she could not make it public.

But she couldn't understand why the marriage was pushed to the second girl, who was so strong-willed and wanted to marry into a wealthy family?

Now that she has married into the family without any clear reason, she still has to listen to what outsiders say. It is simply too deceiving.

Lin Xi raised her hand, pointed at the window with her slender white fingers, and said softly: "Chunhua, open the window."

The floor heating in this room was extremely hot, and even her body was stained with heat. There was a dense layer of sweat on her forehead. She wiped it off and said with her red lips: "That was not your fault."

The sounds of stringed instruments and bamboo music from the outer courtyard gradually faded away, and no footsteps were heard coming towards the bridal chamber.

Lin Xiyi had a quiet posture, wearing a bright red wedding gown with gold weaving, which set off her beautiful face. Under the candlelight, her eyebrows were light and her eyes were like stars, showing her tenderness and quietness.

However, she knew the girl's personality. She would not endure such injustice so unclearly. She was even more afraid that it was because of that incident that she agreed to marry the Third Master without saying a word.

"Girl, no matter how unwilling you are now, you have already married Mr. Chen San. You should forget about those things that happened when you were a girl!" Chunhua opened the window.

A breeze blew in from the window, and the candlelight reflected on her fair cheeks. A double-petal peony was pinned on her hair, and the hair beside her ears fluttered in the evening breeze, adding a bit of beauty to her elegant face.

Chunhua realized that she had said the wrong thing and secretly looked at Lin Xi's expression. Seeing that she looked calm, she wondered if the girl no longer cared so much about that man?

Chunhua simply stopped talking and stood quietly beside her.

Even when the incense in the gilded bronze beast incense burner in the house had burned out, there was still no sign of anyone coming outside.

Lin Xi had been sitting there for two or three hours. Her legs were numb from sitting for so long. She lowered her head and looked at the knot in her hand, and curled the corners of her mouth.

It turned out that this was her wedding night.

In the Jiang family, her father made friends with the powerful and used her marriage as a bargaining chip. Her mother and eldest brother favored the youngest sister, and she was the least favored child and was always alone.

Later, her health deteriorated, so her mother sent her to her grandfather's home in Yecheng to recuperate, and she stayed there for ten years.

In Yecheng, she met Cui Yanting, a confident and outspoken young man who would plant her favorite albizzia trees in the yard, raise rabbits for her, and dig herbs for her.

With him around, I finally understand what it feels like to be favored by someone.

Originally, the Cui family was considered a wealthy family in Yecheng. She had already persuaded her grandfather to fight for their marriage since she had asked him to be her teacher.

Originally, the marriage with the Chen family was either for her or her second sister. Her parents must be satisfied with a family like the Chen family, so naturally they would want her second sister to marry there. She has never been valued, so it doesn't matter who she marries.

But unexpectedly, Cui Yanting would die on the way to find her.

He was on that boat, and after going down the river he encountered bandits. The boat capsized, and his body was soaked in the water, and his original appearance could no longer be recognized.

Lin Xi went to see it in person, and only when she saw that he was still holding the love knot that she had woven with her own hands did she believe the news of his death.

He died, and her heart died on that day. She had not eaten or drunk anything for several days before her grandfather told her.

Cui Yanting’s death was not simple, and the Chen family was also involved.

Therefore, she chose to return to Kyoto without hesitation, just to find out the truth about his death.

Such a good person should not die in obscurity.

However, she did not expect that the moment she saw Mr. Chen San in the warm room, she would be dazed, as if she saw him again. How could there be two people in the world who looked so similar to him.

It was also because of this that she fulfilled that man's wish and took the initiative to fall into the trap. Since she was going to marry into the Chen family, she would rather marry someone who looked like him.

Lin Xi's gaze fell on the window. The sky was dark and there was no festive atmosphere at all.

"Once you marry in, you can guess what it's like."

Hearing this, Chunhua's eyes sparkled with tears, and she couldn't help but try every possible way to comfort him: "Miss, although there are rumors outside that the son-in-law is unwilling to marry because of his unsuccessful marriage in his early years, I have also heard that the son-in-law has kept his room very clean for so many years, unlike some young masters who have arranged several maids in their rooms before they get married."

"What's more, you are in a high position and have great power. Your father is a founding duke, your mother is the Princess of Dongyang, and you personally went to the battlefield to pacify the cities of You and Lan. Now you are a close minister to the new emperor. Who dares to bully you?"

Lin Xi smiled and frowned slightly, "It's already three o'clock in the morning, Chunhua, he can't be here, go wash up!"
