"Why, have we come to the point where we will never see each other again?"
Hearing Lin Xi's words, Lin Yuanyue, who was standing in front of her, changed her expression instantly. She no longer maintained her status as a princess, but took off her veil directly, looked at Lin Xi in front of her with interest, and asked with a smile:
"How do you know it's me?"
Hearing her voice, Lin Xi's lips curved slightly, and she said to him with a smile: "You are suffering in this Chen Mansion now, and I am suffering for you."
As she spoke, she stood up again, walked to Lin Xi's side, looked at her with clear eyes, and then asked: "Why don't you like him?"
"Why do you care about me so much now?" Lin Xi saw that Lin Yuanyue in front of him seemed like a different person. Both her face and her current identity and status were different from before.
She came to visit Lin Xi on purpose, just to see what she looked like now.
"I thought that you would win the fight against me and that there would be some good results. I didn't expect that you would be trapped in this small dark room and live under the control of others. It's really boring. I have been planning to plot against you since I was a child."
"I didn't expect that I could succeed even without testing you. I guess my luck is better than yours."
Hearing what Lin Yuanyue said, Lin Xi's face suddenly changed to one of deep affection, and ripples appeared in her heart. When she was most confused, it was the person she hated the most in the past who came to say these words in front of her, and now things have come to this point.
Chen didn't expect that she would be punished by the old lady. She was so angry that she just wanted to stay in her room and didn't want to go out.
Shameful, so shameful.
"What are you still doing here?" When Chen saw the person in front of her, she felt so angry that she couldn't vent it. She had known for a long time that Lin Xi's current identity was not ordinary, and she couldn't plot against her as she did in the past.
But he was even more worried in his heart that she would take away his rights. He just didn't expect that he would look down on her and dare to speak nonsense in front of the old lady.
Chen raised her hand and swept the tea set in front of the cotton swab table to the ground. Chen Chusheng, who had just come in, had never seen his mother lose her temper so much. He looked surprised and bowed to Chen:
"Son, meet your mother."
As he spoke, Chen Chusheng had already walked to his side and said to him, "Mother, why are you angry?"
Seeing her son, Chen felt so bitter that she couldn't say anything. There were some things she didn't dare tell her son for fear that he would worry. But now things had come to this point. If she didn't do something, she was afraid that who knows what would happen in the future.
"Chu Sheng, do you know what will happen after Lin Xi becomes your aunt?" she said worriedly.
Seeing his mother's sad face, Chen Chusheng calmly expressed her thoughts, saying, "It's just because of her status, and she married my uncle. If my uncle and she have a son or a daughter, the entire Chen Mansion will be theirs."
Seeing Chen Chusheng say this, she never thought that her son could actually say it, so she held his hand, tears in her eyes: "You know, today..."
Having said this, she didn't say anything else. If she told her son about what happened at the women's house, there would be no way to solve the current problem.
"Mother, don't worry. This matter is simple as it sounds." As he spoke, Chen Chusheng supported Chen's hand and walked all the way to the toffee chair. He handed Chen's smoking utensils to her and took out a lighter.
Suddenly, white smoke rose up in the house.
As Chen puffed out smoke, Chen Chusheng's eyes were dark and he spoke calmly through the hazy white mist, "Mother, if they are not in harmony, how can they have a child?"
"How can I inherit the Chen Mansion without a child? I am the only male in the Chen Mansion. Can they inherit a child from a side branch? If the name is not right, then the words will not flow."
Hearing his words, Chen exhaled the smoke from her mouth and leaned her head back on the chair. "My son has really grown up. He can think of so many things."
Hearing that Chen had secretly agreed with his idea, he struck while the iron was hot and said to her, "Mother, my uncle ran away for another woman and hasn't come back yet. He will definitely not come back because he ran away for someone else, right?"
Chen Chusheng had not expected such a change to happen, but it was precisely because of this change that he immediately understood that in his current situation, his future would be better only if the relationship between the two of them was worse.
If the relationship between the two people is really deep, he will not have the opportunity to intervene.
"Go ahead and do it. Make sure you find the person and send him to the palace."
······
Chunhua was happy to see Chen being humiliated, but as soon as she returned to the yard, Lin Xi asked her to kneel down.
Liuyun originally wanted to plead for her, but she didn't expect the girl to not give her the chance at all.
The two were still in the yard, one standing and the other kneeling.
Suddenly, there was a light knock on the door outside the courtyard.
In order to prevent Chunhua, the maid, from losing face in the yard, Liuyun ordered everyone to go to the backyard. Now only she could open the door, but she never expected to see the dusty Chen Xun.
A hint of surprise flashed across her face, and then she bowed to Chen Xun according to etiquette.
"Yes, uncle."
"How is your girl?" Chen Xun rushed back from outside, so he naturally knew what kind of rumors were spreading throughout the mansion. He felt guilty, but he also felt that Lin Xi would be able to handle these things.
Liuyun lowered his head and led the way for him: "The young lady went to see the old lady today and will be back to rest soon."
When Chen Xun passed Chunhua, he stopped. In his impression, Lin Xi would never be too harsh on the maids around him. Seeing that her maid had been kneeling in this place, he asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Liuyun knew that Chen Chu was asking about Chunhua, so he replied, "My Lord, this maid had a conflict with someone as soon as she entered the Chen Mansion. The young lady felt that she was not calm, so she deliberately let her here to temper her."
Chunhua was already unhappy, and now when she saw Chen Xun coming back, she lowered her head. Even if he was a Rakshasa, he could not bully the young lady.
"Let her get up first!" Chen Xun understood the hidden meaning when he heard this.
Inside the house, Lin Xi had known that Chen Xun would come back, but she didn't expect him to come back like this.
The two of them sat there looking at each other in silence, not saying anything, but it seemed like they had said everything.
Lin Xi placed a cup of tea in front of him, her eyes calm: "Can't tell?"
Chen Xun picked up the cup and nodded: "Yeah."
After hearing this, she understood what Chen Xun meant, but she never thought that he came back without even giving her an explanation. When she thought of this, she was indeed disappointed.
When this emotion spread throughout her body, she suddenly realized that she had also placed her hope on him, or in other words, she liked him.
However, now it seems that this love is no longer worth it. She smiled, refilled his cup with water, and then asked, "Don't you need my help?"
Chen Xun shook his head calmly: "No, this matter is very tricky."
"Is there anyone at home who wants to cause trouble for you?" Chen Xun's eyes were filled with a bit of cruelty, and then he comforted her and said softly: "I will take care of this matter."
Lin Xi had long understood that although Chen Xun had a cold face, he was reluctant to attack the Chen family. She refused directly, "If you interfere with the affairs of the back house and help me, it only shows my incompetence. That's all. I will be careful about the severity of my attack."
Hearing Lin Xi say these words to him, he felt indescribable in his heart, but the thing had already been done, and there was no room for regret now. He could only continue to do it.
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 you do wrong?"
