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

Lin Xi knew that it was useless to tell Chen Xun all this now, but things had already come to this point.

Regardless of Chen Xun, now, no matter how reluctant she is, she has to find an answer herself.

When no one was paying attention, Lin Xi went to the address he got last night.

She was worried about the people around her and other places, so she decided to go out alone. Many people didn't expect her to go out at this time in the morning.

Lin Xi changed into the clothes that had been prepared long ago, and followed the ox cart that entered Xie's house early in the morning to deliver vegetables. After leaving Xie's house, she followed carefully behind the carriage, and no one noticed this person.

"Girl, we're here now. Go to the street ahead and turn right. There will be a boat there."

The person who spoke was Aunt Zhang who came to deliver the food today.

In the east of the city, the front yard of General Chen's mansion was brightly lit and filled with laughter and conversation, while outside the gate of the back yard, there were many maids and old women, all with solemn expressions.

"Where is she? Where did she escape to? If we fail to do this job well, we will all lose our heads."

The chirping of insects and birds mixed with the nanny's sharp voice poured into Jiang Yan's ears. The sweat on her body condensed into water droplets and slid down her fair oval face.

She looked down at her lotus pink silk skirt, and it was like she was back to the day when she was fifteen and was falsely accused of innocence.

The cold rain was falling, and Jiang Yan could not help shivering. She moved her body and her clothes were torn by the branches with a "swish" sound, which attracted the nanny to turn around and look.

When their eyes met, her heart sank to the bottom.

Could it be that I have just returned and am about to fall into the trap of my previous life?

Those people were instantly quiet. The leading nanny stared at her with sharp eyes and said sternly, "Miss Jiang, you'd better come out by yourself!"

General Chen's Mansion can be considered powerful because of the glory of his father's generation, but this generation is not valued by the new emperor, and its status is not as good as when the previous generation was alive. However, the Chen Mansion gave birth to Master Chen San, who is determined to follow the path of a civil official and is also a very ambitious person. The emperor favors him very much, and not only has the General's Mansion returned to everyone's attention, but there is even a trend of moving to a higher level. The rise of the third house has made the first house feel precarious.

Today, she was caught having physical contact with Chen Chu, the eldest son of the Chen family, and was later forced to marry him. They had planned everything out. Regardless of whether it was her fault or not, the woman's innocence was ruined. If she did not marry Chen Chu, her clan members would simply let her hang herself to preserve her reputation.

Jiang Yan suddenly heard her aunt's cold voice: "Haven't found it yet?"

She closed her eyes, breathed rapidly, and clenched her fingers tightly. The pain from her palms made her more and more conscious.

After she married Chen Chu, her mother-in-law set rules for her and plotted for her dowry. Chen Chu plotted against the forces behind her. This Chen family was almost a den of evil, lying on her and sucking all her blood.

No matter what, she would never make the same mistake again this time.

There was only one way out behind her, and she no longer had any chance to gamble.

The cold wind blew out the faint light, and it was pitch black all around. Jiang Yan stood up and ran in the direction behind her.

"Where are the people!"

"Go!"

"Don't let her escape into the front hall."

The piercing sound seemed to pierce her eardrums. She didn't dare stop and could only run quickly, her skirt fluttering in the wind like a wounded butterfly that could fall to the ground at any time.

There was no one on the dark road ahead, but the footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer.

Jiang Yan looked at the road in front of her with an increasingly determined gaze. They had done it perfectly, but there would certainly not be too many people deployed on this road.

Relying on the memories of her previous life, Jiang Yan ran into the corridor of the alley with her clothes disheveled, and just when she was most nervous, she bumped into Chen Xun's arms.

"Who?"

A cold voice came into my ears.

Jiang Yan raised her eyes and saw a familiar figure. She put her arms around his waist and said pitifully, "Uncle, save me."

Chen Xun is Chen Chu's uncle. Although she had only met him twice in her previous life, she knew that Chen Xun had a cold personality and was notoriously unkind.

Jiang Yan's hair hung wetly on both sides, her cheeks and red lips were white from the cold, making her pupils appear dark. Her wet and heavy clothes outlined her exquisite curves, making her look like a painting of a beauty, attracting everyone's attention.

She was nervous and not sure whether Chen Xun would help her, but he was the only person who could save her now.

Chen Xun frowned, his eyes showing no emotion. He just stood there quietly, looking coldly at Jiang Yan, and pushed her away mercilessly, "Let go."

The woman's body swayed, her eyelashes fluttered, and tears from the corners of her eyes fell down and landed in his hand. She looked panicked and pitiful.

"Who are you?" Chen Xun stood straight with a very cold voice.

Her eyes were slightly red, her lips were tender and tender, and her lips opened and closed.

Jiang Yan looked up and saw a face that was enough to astound her. He was dressed in black and his figure was as straight as a jade tree. He was as handsome as a painting with rich colors.

The heavy rain outside the corridor stopped, and the remaining rain water dripped onto the ground along the eaves.

Hearing the clear footsteps behind her, Jiang Yan turned around and nodded, her voice trembling: "I am from the Duke of Ying, and I followed my aunt to attend today's banquet. I recognized the wrong person just now, please don't blame me, Master Chen."

The aphrodisiac in her body was surging and she was almost unable to stand.

In the dim light, Chen Xun saw her blushing face and asked, "What are you doing in the side courtyard?"

Just as he finished speaking, a pale arm fell lightly on his chest, and the cold fingertips tried to pull off his coat.

Chen Xun grabbed the restless hand in time, and the faint orchid fragrance rushed towards him, and the warm breath was exhaled on his neck, but her slender fingertips were not as graceful as her appearance.

Chen Xun quickly noticed something was wrong, "Have you been drugged?"

The only response he got was a soft groan and the girl's hot body temperature.

Jiang Yan's eyes were filled with tears. She smelled the faint scent of sandalwood on him and sobbed, "Uncle, save me."

She slowly raised her head and bit her lower lip. The blood dyed her lips red, making them look delicate and juicy like an alluring pink peach. The biting cold wind blew across her cheeks, and her blurry eyes gradually became clear, but her whole body was so weak that she couldn't use any strength. She couldn't say anything she wanted to say.

Chen Xun stared at her opening and closing lips for a moment, and realized that the look was too offensive. He turned his head and said in a low voice: "I'll call someone to prepare a set of clothes for you."

"No, no." Jiang Yan's eyes flashed with panic. She saw the lights over there getting closer and closer in her peripheral vision. They must have found this side. She raised her head and said, "Please take me to a place where there is no one. I will change by myself."

The branches had torn the hem of her skirt, and her body was wet. If she appeared in front of everyone like this, she would definitely not be able to explain herself.

Chen Xun pursed his lips slightly, his eyes lightly swept across the crystal clear tear in the corner of her eye under the dim light, clenched his hands, his eyes still as indifferent as usual.

Neither agreed nor refused.

The servant's voice interrupted him from behind: "I greet you, Master San. Did you see anyone passing this way?"

The vision was unclear at night. Chen Xun was tall and he moved forward, just enough to completely block her view. The group of servants did not dare to look at him randomly when they saw him. They lowered their heads and dared not breathe.

"No."

He frowned as if he was displeased, and the servants left immediately after seeing this.

After everyone left, he held her slender wrist tightly and said lightly: "Follow me."

He actually held his own hand!

Jiang Yan froze, not daring to move. She followed him closely, not daring to look up. If anyone saw her on the road, she would be finished.

At the end of this path is his yard.

Jiang Yan forced herself to calm down and looked around his yard. Although it was in a remote part of the Chen Mansion, it was quiet and no one would come to disturb it. The house was also decorated simply and cleanly like his other rooms, without any unnecessary decorations.

She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Chen Xun, but she could still feel the scrutiny coming towards her.

Just now, she was so flustered that she blurted out calling him uncle.

"Thank you very much for today, Lord Chen..." Jiang Yan lowered her voice, soft and slow, which made people feel happy.

Chen Xun lowered his eyes and looked at her for a long time, then handed her a cup of hot tea. His dark eyes could not tell his emotions. "The news of my joining the government has not yet been reported back. How did Miss Jiang know about it?"

The wind blew into the room, the candlelight flickered, and the shadows of the two people on the wall swayed as well. The faint sound of stringed instruments coming from the outer courtyard was cut off with a "click".

Jiang Yan was startled and her hand trembled, causing the hot water in the cup to spill out, scalding the back of her hand red.

Chen Xun raised the corners of his lips, as if smiling.

Jiang Yan met his eyes that were like a deep pool of water, and her body tensed. She had forgotten that Chen Xun was the only person in the military officer's family who had reached the point where he had power over the government. He was smart and clever, so how could she reveal so many flaws in front of him?

If others knew that he was a reborn person, they would probably regard it as an anomaly, not to mention that the people plotting against him today were from the Chen residence.

The heating in the house was burning very strongly, and the heat made her dizzy.

"Hmm? Miss Jiang can't answer, or doesn't dare to answer?" Chen Xun stood up and gradually approached her, forcing her to step back. His fingertips stroked a piece of cloth on her body. It was silky and soft, like the finest satin.

Jiang Yan lowered her head, deliberately avoiding his sight. He was clearly still a few steps away from her, but the pressure from him was pouring down on her, and she felt as if she was wrapped up by him and unable to move.

"I heard about your story from my grandfather." Jiang Yan said vaguely, then looked up and saw him take a few steps back, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Yan clenched the teacup, and then heard a sentence.

"lie."

His face was gloomy, and his bony hands pinched her neck and pushed her against the wall. She felt dizzy at that moment.

That cold face, slightly pursed lips, eyes as indifferent as a pool of water.

She was so scared that her back felt cold, remembering that in her previous life, Chen Xun seemed to be investigating a case during this period, which involved some people, so he was assassinated on the day he returned home.

I'm afraid he thinks he is the assassin.

"I have it on me." Jiang Yan's face flushed red, and she used all her strength to finish her words, "ID card."

Chen Xun let go of her hand, and she fell to the ground. She quickly handed him the tag on her body. She supported herself on the ground with her hands and coughed hard, as if she wanted to cough out all her internal organs.

He sat back in his tea-making position. The air was filled with steam and surprisingly quiet. He could even hear the faint sound of a piano that suddenly came from the outer courtyard.

"Then Miss Jiang, why do you call me uncle? This is the first time we meet." Chen Xun's voice was very light, leaving only a generous back to Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan understood that if she didn't answer well, he could really take her life immediately.

"My aunt specifically told me when she came that I am of the same generation as your nephews, so naturally I should call you uncle. If you don't mind, I can call you Third Uncle?" Jiang Yan raised her black eyes slightly, trying to guess what the man in front of her was thinking.

But for some reason, Jiang Yan suddenly felt that the chill that was about to dissipate suddenly swept over, making it hard to breathe.

Did she say something wrong again? But when she thought about it carefully, she felt that it shouldn't be the case!

"Third Uncle?" Chen Xun smiled coldly and turned the tea bowl upside down on the table. "I'll ask someone to change your clothes."

Jiang Yan raised her eyes and met those deep eyes. The golden light outlined his angular features, which looked gentle yet with a hint of alienation and indifference.

She felt a little uneasy and stammered for a long time, but the words were stuck in her throat and she never uttered them.

He turned and disappeared into the darkness, leaving only one sentence:

"He's my man."

He could even tell what I was thinking.

Jiang Yan was shocked.

She changed into clean clothes, took a sip of the tea he had left, which had a bitter taste after being steeped for so long, and said to the maid in front of her, "Thank you, young lady. Where is your Third Master?"

She called Chen Xun as the servant had called him just now.

Unexpectedly, after entering his yard, the aphrodisiac in her body faded away without her noticing, and she realized that she had just mentioned Lord Chen and uncle several times.

Neither of these two titles should appear at this time.

"The Third Master has gone to see the old lady. Miss Jiang, you have been admiring the flowers here for too long. It's time for me to take you to the front hall." The maid diligently led the way for Jiang Yan and said with a smile.

Jiang Yan immediately understood that this was Chen Xun's arrangement. If she just went out like this, rumors would still spread, and even the people behind the scenes would say that she had an affair with Chen Chu. Such an arrangement could also prove her innocence so that others would not talk nonsense.

If she hadn't met Chen Xun today and had his help, she would have had a lot of trouble escaping.

As a member of the Chen family, Chen Xun was completely unaware of their plan and even intended to rescue herself. If that was the case, she would know exactly what to do.

Just aunt.

Jiang Yan's heart suddenly turned cold. That was her aunt who had watched her grow up. What could have made her help outsiders to plot against her?

There was a noisy sound outside that didn't belong to this quiet courtyard. It sounded like the voices of several ladies. She knew that Chen Xun's place was very remote and it was unlikely that they would happen to come here, unless someone deliberately guided them here.

Jiang Yan's face changed and she clenched her hands. In order for her to marry Chen Chu, was it necessary to do this?

The maid's eyes paused, she was amazed, and quickly took her away.

The noise outside was getting closer and closer. Almost at the same time she spoke, the door was opened, followed by her aunt's exclamation.

"Yan'er, why are you here?"
