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

As soon as Lin Xi returned to Tonghe Courtyard, he saw Lin Yuanyue and Chunhua arguing with each other.

As I got closer, I heard Chunhua's voice.

She stopped Lin Yuanyue outside the door and said, "Second Miss, the eldest lady has ordered that she will rest today and no one is allowed to enter."

Lin Yuanyue never thought that one day she would be stopped by someone. "You are a maid in the mansion, not to mention I am going to see my eldest sister."

She had just raised her hand, but before she put it down, she saw Lin Xi

"What's wrong?" Lin Xi came out of the house. When she saw Lin Yuanyue, a smile appeared on her face: "Yuanyue, why are you here?"

When Lin Yuanyue saw Lin Xi, her eyes lit up. She immediately pushed Chunhua aside, walked up to Lin Xi, and complained, "Big sister, the maid next to you is too ignorant. She even stopped me."

Lin Xi glanced at Chunhua calmly and asked, "Why are you here today?"

"Sister, I want to ask you a favor." Lin Yuanyue's eyes were evasive, motioning her to go inside and talk.

Lin Xi naturally understood, and the two of them walked in together.

"Sister, did you know that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion sent an invitation?"

Lin Xi casually glanced at the invitation on the table: "Well, the invitation is on the table, what's wrong?"

"Sister, please let me go!" Lin Yuanyue fixed her eyes on the gold-embossed invitation. Such a banquet would most likely attract princes and nobles. If she could gain the favor of any of them, she would be able to rest easy for the rest of her life.

"Sister, you don't like to attend these banquets anyway, so why don't you say you are sick and let me go, what do you think?" Lin Yuanyue pulled Lin Xi's arm and said half-coquettishly.

Lin Xi smiled and asked, "Why shouldn't I go?"

Lin Yuanyue swallowed her anger and said, "Big sister, you have never been to such a banquet before. I am afraid you will make a fool of yourself if you go. Why don't you let me go?"

She thought, she took the invitation from Lin Xi. It was just a banquet anyway, so what did it matter whether she went or not?

Lin Xi looked at her with a righteous and reasonable look, and the smile on his face widened. "Are you really going?"

Seeing hope, Lin Yuanyue asked, "Sister, have you agreed?"

Lin Xi picked up the invitation from the table and said to her, "The invitation didn't say that you can't bring female relatives from your family. You should be able to come with me."

Lin Yuanyue only wanted to go herself, but she didn't expect Lin Xi to go too.

The status is different if you go alone or are taken there by others.

If Lin Xi took her there, she would be Lin Xi's vassal and would go along with him.

She didn't want to let Lin Xi suppress her, so she looked up at Lin Xi's eyes, her eyes turned, and she said directly: "Sister, you are so kind."

Humph, so what if Lin Xi brought him there? She was the one who made a big splash at the banquet.

Lin Yuanyue thanked Lin Xi and left.

However, Madam Xu couldn't help but say, "Miss, how can you let Miss No. 2 go with you? This will only offend people."

"Madam Xu, what if father listens to Madam Xu and insists on giving the invitation to her?" Lin Xi turned around and asked.

Madam Xu was stunned. It's not like she hadn't thought about this situation before, but she still couldn't help but feel sorry for the eldest lady.

"Master, you are too biased."

"Biased?" Lin Xi smiled and then asked, "All the people who served my mother back then were driven out. Can't you find any of them?"

Madam Xu shook her head. "I don't know where she went now. But there was a maid or a nanny who used to take care of Madam."

Lin Xi understood, and said, "When will you find that girl? I have some questions to ask. As for the person who used to take care of my mother, we have to continue looking for her secretly."

······

The ancestors of the Zhenguo Mansion were loyal ministers who followed the ancestor to conquer the world. The younger generations, both male and female, were also talented, including a queen and a general. Only in this generation, the Zhenguo Mansion's eldest daughter, Shen Qingran, was weak in health. When she was a child, a famous doctor predicted that she would not live past the age of 18, so she was brought up like a delicate child.

Today's banquet at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was actually held to find a marriage partner for Shen Qingran's brother Shen Renzhang, so invitations were sent to families of appropriate age.

Everyone knew the intention and came to take a look.

Lin Xi and Lin Yuanyue sat in a carriage and arrived after turning two streets.

Nanny Xu handed in the invitation, and the two of them entered the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

In front of them were golden painted roofs, glazed tiles, and the words "Zhenguogong Mansion" written by His Majesty were hung in the middle of the main entrance, which was very imposing. After entering the mansion, a maid led them to sit at the table. Yu Guangzhong saw white marble everywhere, which was really magnificent and breathtaking.

Lin Yuanyue marveled at the luxury of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and once again felt that she should live in such a place. She couldn't help but clench her hands and made up her mind that she would pay any price for this.

There were already quite a few people seated at the table, and while everyone was chatting, they would occasionally glance at the people coming in from outside.

This small courtyard was specially separated for their generation, so it is more lively.

"Yue'er." A cry of surprise came from someone.

Lin Yuanyue turned around and saw the familiar sisters. They both greeted her, "Mei'er."

Lin Yuanyue also introduced her: "Mei'er, this is my elder sister Lin Xi, elder sister, this is my childhood friend Hua Mei'er."

Lin Xi bowed politely, "Lin Xi greets Miss Hua."

Hua Meir just snorted coldly, pulled Lin Xi to sit next to her, and left her alone there.

Lin Xi turned her eyes away and followed the nanny who was leading the way to her seat.

"Why did you let her come?"

"Yeah, how could such an indecent person appear here? I don't know what the Shen family is thinking."

At once, everyone present heard these two sentences, and curiosity drove them to ask what was going on.

Only Lin Xi lowered his head, looking as if it was none of his business, and tasted the tea in the cup in front of him.

Lin Yuanyue hurriedly stood up from her seat, her eyes unblinking, and shook her head at Hua Meir. Hua Meir would not tolerate such a wronged look.

"It could be anyone else. Isn't it the one drinking tea over there who seduced Master Chen at the Chen residence not long ago?"

Chen Chu was also somewhat famous in the capital, and everyone's eyes fell on Lin Xi, looking him up and down with disdain.

Who would rush to find a man?

"Don't you have anything to say?" Hua Meir stood up and asked Lin Xi.

Lin Xi slowly raised his head, frowned, and asked in a calm tone: "What did you say?"

Seeing her like this, Hua Meier felt that she was guilty. Thinking of Lin Yuanyue being bullied by her at home, she couldn't help but stand up for Lin Yuanyue and said to her in a difficult way, "Explain what happened in the Chen Mansion?"

In fact, they had also heard some rumors about what happened in the Chen Mansion from other people.

"You hooked up with Master Chen and bullied my sister in the mansion?"
