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

Someone came from Chen's parents' side again.

The Gong family was out of money again. When Chen saw her niece from her mother's family, she was overwhelmed and her tone was not as kind as before. She asked, "Why are you here again? My brother is out of money?"

"Aunt, my father said that he wants to donate money to become an official." The person who came from the Gong family this time was Gong Yunrou. She was very beautiful, but her father and brother at home were not the kind of people who could handle it.

They always like to spoil men and put all the responsibilities on their daughters, and then in the end they complain that their daughters cannot carry on the family line and take care of them in their old age.

"You too, just come find me just because your father said so?" When Chen said this, she saw that Gong Yunrou was finally soft-hearted. She wiped her mouth, put down the cake, waved at her, asked her to come to her, gave her the cake and whispered, "I know what those people in the Gong family are like. If you don't think about yourself, they will eat you alive."

Hearing this, Gong Yunrou couldn't help shedding tears and choked up, "Aunt, they arranged a marriage for me."

When Chen heard this, she was furious. She knew from her appearance that it was not a good marriage. She was afraid that she was going to use her marriage as a ladder to the Gong family. What's more, her appearance was unique in the whole Kyoto.

"What good marriage can they talk about with that group of people? They will just sell you to others, and that's not enough. They want to swallow your flesh and drink your blood. Listen to your aunt. You should stay in the Chen Mansion for the time being and don't go anywhere else." When Chen said this, a trace of pain flashed through her heart.

"Don't think too much. With your aunt here, I won't give them the money this time, and you can't go back either. Wait until they come to you for begging."

After hearing what Chen said, Gong Yunrou's tears stopped a little.

The next day, everyone in the Chen Mansion was worried. After all, Lin Xi's current status was different from before. Behind her, there was still the Queen.

Now, the fight between the Queen and Concubine Ruan has long ended. The Queen, who is usually quiet, was able to move the Ruan family directly without even causing any damage.

Now, no one dares to look down on the queen who has lived in the deep palace for a long time.

But who could have thought that Chen Xun would actually abandon his bride on the wedding day?

If this incident happened to someone else, the Chen family would not end up well.

They also didn't know how to treat Lin Xi.

But last night, Lin Xi was able to handle the matter calmly, and it didn't make them feel anything.

Everyone in the Chen Mansion had their own agenda, and everyone was as quiet as a cicada. It wasn't as lively as it used to be.

It didn't take long.

Lin Xi took her two maids with her and went to the east wing of the Chen Mansion to pay her respects to Old Madam Chen.

After all, she is Chen Xun's nominal mother, and the emperor specifically asked them to get married in the Chen family's home. This was all the old lady's intention.

She naturally knew that she had to go today.

As soon as Lin Xi entered the gate, he squatted down and greeted politely, saying:

"Meet the mother."

After what happened yesterday, Old Lady Chen naturally didn't dare to neglect Lin Xi anymore. She specially asked her dowry nanny to help her up. She said to her, "My husband is ignorant, and it has caused you a lot of hardship. Don't worry about it. No matter how beautiful the world is, it will never happen to you."

Hearing what she said, Lin Xi could only nod and agree: "Yes, I understand what the old lady means."

Chunhua was originally angry because of last night, and now seeing the old lady's attitude, she was more sad for the eldest daughter. No one considered the girl, and no one thought that she would lose face in public after encountering this incident last night.

When she thought of this, she felt

"What happened today was someone else's deliberate attempt to trip up Miss. I will definitely tell Miss." Hearing her words, Chunhua looked guilty and held Liuyun's hand, "Good sister, I was wrong about this matter. Please help me speak to Miss later."

"Of course. The only people who are really useful to the young lady right now are the two of us and Madam Xu. I saw Madam Xu secretly wiping away tears last night because of the young lady's matter. The two of us must not cause trouble for the young lady at this time." Liuyun held the food for Lin Xi in his hand and led Chunhua to the inner room.

"It's not that I don't want to keep this a secret for you. It's just that this matter has now become a big deal in the Chen Mansion. It was originally a trap set for the young lady by someone else. If we really keep it to ourselves, we will really fall into someone else's trap. Do you understand?"

Liuyun broke down the words one by one and told them to Chunhua. She was a reasonable person to begin with, and after hearing what she said, she felt even more guilty. The two of them wanted to go.

Chunhua couldn't help but ask, "Am I the only one who can cause trouble for the young lady?"

When she thought of this, she felt even more sad. How could she only bring trouble to the young lady?

The moment they saw Lin Xi, they both lowered their heads. But she noticed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"

Originally, she had to serve her parents-in-law according to the rules, but now these people in the Chen family have little relationship with Chen Xun.

"Miss, I did something wrong."

"What did I do wrong?" From the perspective of the small-time heroine and the big-time hero, the novel describes two different types of people who face the crisis together when faced with the turbulence of the times. It is also a group portrait, showing the wonderful aspects of different characters in their lives.

Someone died in Nishimura again.

It was noon, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and when looking inside the village from outside, there was a layer of mist.

A carriage stopped at the entrance of the village. The coachman tilted his head, his expression gloomy and as if he had something to hide, and asked the person inside, "Girl, are you sure this is the place?"

It was strange for a young girl to come to a place where people were dying one after another.

After saying this, the young girl in the carriage got off. She was holding the box in her hand and nodded and said, "Yes."

The groom raised his head and saw a petite girl with bright eyes and white teeth. She was wearing a blue long coat and a crabapple flower pinned on her temples. She exuded a simple elegance, but the determination in her eyes made people unable to look away.

The groom pointed at the intersection and said, "This place is weird, girl, what can you do here?"

A gloomy wind blew from the West Village, and a faint fragrance wafted out from the box in her hand.

The groom had never smelled such a smell before, and was even a little addicted to it. His eyes unconsciously looked towards the box again and again.

"Rescue."

The groom just thought she was joking. Since ancient times, there has never been such a young girl saving people. He didn't take her words to heart at all.

Xie Ruan raised his eyes, his eyes were heavy, and he took out a few more strings of copper coins from the silver bag and said, "Thank you. Please help me find a way to the Song family."

The groom was stunned, his hands paused, his eyes widened, wondering if he had heard wrongly, and asked in disbelief: "Girl, you said...the Song family?"

"Ah."

The groom's hand trembled as he took the copper coin, and the coin immediately rolled to the ground. He stepped back repeatedly, his face turning pale: "The Song family was wiped out three months ago. What are you doing in the Song family, girl?"

Xie Ruan looked at his expression, frowned slightly, and asked, "Destroy the whole family?"

"Mr. Song and his entire family died in a mysterious fire."

"Only Mr. Song's engaged youngest daughter survived, but she became insane and always spoke nonsense. The family that was engaged to her canceled the marriage. The villagers thought she was crazy and were worried about her. They wanted to send her to a charity institution, but they didn't expect Miss Song to disappear."

"That is, after the incident at the Song Mansion, two or three brides died in Xicun. These brides were all the same age as the eldest daughter of the Song family."

Xie Ruan's eyes were heavy: "Since the whole family was wiped out, then where is the murderer?"

The groom shook his head: "This is the government's business. What's more, some people say that Old Master Song doesn't want to live anymore and wants to take his family to die."

"The Song Mansion is weird. If what you want to do is not important, you'd better not go!"

"Thank you." Xie Ruan didn't say anything, carrying the box and heading into the small path of West Village.

The old master of the Song Mansion was once the prince's tutor, a first-rank official, and he himself was a great scholar. Now there are many of his students in the court. The surname Song is also a family surname in Suiyang County, with a high status. Later, because of the involvement of the deposed prince, although he moved to Xicun, His Majesty specially granted the title of Anbohou to the old master Song to appease the people.

Old Master Song once saved her life, so after receiving the letter from him, she hurried back from southern Xinjiang.

How could a person who wrote a book asking her to come back for treatment commit suicide?

The road to the Song Mansion was more difficult to navigate than she had imagined. What Xie Ruan did not expect was that there were Jinyiwei people standing at the gate of the Song Mansion. She paused, pursed her lips, and clenched her hands slightly.

The Jinyiwei had never imagined that a young girl would appear in such a gloomy place.

She is still a woman with good looks.

Xie Ruan felt several gazes, and he walked slowly and firmly. He glanced at the corpse on the ground with his almond-shaped eyes, and walked past calmly with a serious expression and his clothes fluttering in the wind.

"Stop. Who is it?"

The first person to speak was the Jinyiwei who had been staring at her.

"Your Excellency, I am here to investigate a case at the Song Residence." Xie Ruan happened to stop at the steps at the entrance of the Song Residence. Her thin body was as straight as a bamboo. She opened her red lips and said softly, "Save someone."

The Song Mansion is now in ruins, overgrown with weeds and no trace of its once prosperous population remains.

"Investigating a case?" The Jinyiwei's mouth twitched slightly, with mockery in his eyes.

"Yes, investigating the case."

The Jinyiwei looked her up and down. This girl had a fair complexion and didn't look like someone who would roll around among a pile of dead bodies, so how could she have the skills to perform an autopsy?

Relying on his good looks, he looked at them and tried to deceive them.

He shook his head. How could he be so brazen?

"Are you crazy? Are you here to make trouble? Go away! If you continue to interfere with our investigation, I will take you to jail."

Tell lies without even a good excuse.

The Jinyiwei couldn't help but roll his eyes and motioned the person next to him to go in.

Xie Ruan stood under the eaves, the sunlight cast a shadow under her long curly eyelashes, "I want to see Shen You."

"How dare you." The Jinyiwei drew the sword from his waist, the blade emitting a cold bluish-white light, "You can call the lord by his name."

He took a few steps towards Xie Ruan, his sword almost reaching her neck.

"My last name is Xie. Please pass me on."

The Jinyiwei looked at her, motionless under the hilt of the sword, with some surprise.

Xie is a common surname.

Moreover, she was so calm even when she addressed the master by his name. He was worried that someone who should not be offended had come. He said to her, "You just wait here. I will go in and report to the master first."

Not long after, the man asked her to come in.

The Song Mansion has become a ruin. When you step into the courtyard, you can still smell the smell of cigarette ash left by the fire a few months ago.

Xie Ruan looked at the corpse placed in the yard. There were bruises on the corners of his lips and forehead. His body was covered with a cloth, so the rest of his body could not be seen clearly. Then his eyes fell on the man in front of him.

He had a high nose bridge, sharp cheeks, and a red mole in the middle of his eyebrows, which made him look distant and aloof. His eyes were deep and sinister, making people dare not ignore him. He was wearing an indigo-colored shirt with thunder and cloud patterns. He looked at her and casually threw the handkerchief he was using to wipe his hands on the ground.

Xie Ruan could tell that the handkerchief was a piece of Shu brocade worth a fortune.

"You said, can you solve the case?" Shen You looked at her gloomily, rubbing the crystal clear ring with his right hand.

"Yes."

"lie."

Shen You lowered his eyes and looked at Xie Ruan in front of him, his expression was calm. He approached her step by step, and grasped her fair and slender neck with his broad hands. He said in a very calm voice: "In my case, lying will kill you."

Xie Ruan's eyes were solemn and she frowned as she said, "The deceased at the door was eighteen years old, a female. There were obvious marks on her neck behind her ears. She was strangled to death. The marks on her forehead and the corners of her mouth were caused by her struggle. Judging from the color of the body, she must have died yesterday afternoon. It should have been ten hours since then."

Shen You was surprised and blew down his eyelids. His bony fingers loosened slightly, giving her a chance to catch her breath.

"Sir, can you let me take a closer look? If I can't see anything, or if I'm lying, you can kill me."

Seeing that Shen You had no intention of giving in, Xie Ruan continued, "The silk that the deceased was wearing came from the Southern Silk Supply House, and there are not many households in the capital that can use it."

"After a brief elimination, the only ones left are Marquis Yanbo in the south of the city, Marquis Guanxi in the east of the city, and Marquis Zhenbei. Among these families, the only legitimate daughter of Marquis Zhenbei was the one who left last night."

Shen You stared at her and stopped what he was doing.

A faint cold wind blew in the courtyard, and even on a sunny day, it made people shiver.

But Shen You in front of him seemed to sneer, looking down at him, and his tone suddenly became cold: "Since when do cats and dogs have the qualifications to negotiate with me?"

"Although this case is not complicated, it involves the reputation of a woman." Xie Ruan looked up at him, trying to make her eyes meet his, "I am the best choice."

After a long silence, Shen You looked at her and turned his head to look at the box in her hand.

When the wind blows, the fragrance in the box spreads everywhere.

His eyes were heavy, and he curled his lips coldly towards her, and said slowly: "It's really interesting."

"Someone is coming."

"exist."

Shen You's most capable subordinate Qingsong appeared in front of them.

"Autopsy."

Shen You opened his thin lips slightly, his eyes cold.

Qingsong asked Xie Ruan, "Miss, do you need to prepare anything for the autopsy?"

Hearing this, Xie Ruan looked calm, his eyes fell deeply on the body on the ground, walked to the body, put down the box, and said softly: "No need."

Qingsong watched Xie Ruan open the box, which contained some autopsy tools that he was unfamiliar with.

He gave her a suspicious look.

The box in her hand was completely opened, and a long and lingering fragrance overflowed.

Even the Jinyiwei standing outside the courtyard could smell it.

The fragrance is very light, but it has an indescribable sense of enchantment.

Xie Ruan
