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

Lin Yuanyue's face flushed, but she didn't dare to say anything. Seeing Hua Meir still wanted to make trouble, she quickly pulled her back and said, "It's me who has implicated you."

Hua Meier felt sorry for her and said, "You are such a good actress, elder sister."

The two of them sat down fiercely, but there was nothing they could do.

Lin Xi lowered his eyes and sneered. When he raised his eyes again, his eyes were clear and he said directly: "Madam, thank you so much today."

The wife of the Marquis of Huaiyin also had her own considerations in mind. She actually liked Lin Xi, whose family background was not bad and who was not afraid of things. She was just the right person to deal with the monsters in her son's backyard.

She took Lin Xi's hand and said repeatedly: "If you have any grievances, I will take care of it for you."

Lin Xi smiled and said obediently, "Thank you, ma'am."

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, Shen Lan, appeared here. She was the one who hosted the banquet today. Naturally, she knew what had happened here, and there was a fierce look in her eyes.

Her banquet was very precious, so she would not allow such a dirty thing to humiliate her.

"Sister, you're here so early." Shen Lan went to see the wife of the Marquis of Huaiyin first. She held back her temper and greeted her. Then she looked at Lin Xi and said affectionately, "Miss Lin, thank you for what happened that day."

In her heart, she was naturally satisfied with Lin Xi's approach and did not make public the fact that she had saved Shen Qingran. She had difficulty getting engaged due to her health, and she had finally found several families of suitable age in the past few years. If the matter of the Falong Temple were to spread, who knows how it would be interpreted.

"Mrs. Shen, Qingran and I hit it off from the moment we met, so saving her was just a matter of convenience." Lin Xi said this. She was wearing a white gauze dress today, and her every frown and smile was enough to make people unable to take their eyes off her.

Shen Lan smiled, patted the back of her hand, signaled her to be at ease, then turned around and said with a smile: "I didn't come, but I didn't expect something funny to happen."

"Ms. Lin is my Qingran's savior. Some people want to harm her. In my case, they want to harm Qingran." Shen Lan said in a deep voice, "From now on, I will not go to any banquets they attend."

Lin Yuanyue and Hua Meiren both raised their heads, a little dumbfounded by the sudden change.

"Madam, madam, no! If this happens, we won't be able to go out in the future."

"Why not?" Shen Lan smiled, looking at the two of them sharply: "You use despicable means to frame others, and you still want to keep yourself safe?"

Shen Lan said it directly, and the way others looked at them changed.

Today, after these words were spoken, no one would invite them.

Lin Yuanyue seemed to have been drained of all her strength and fell limply to the ground.

What exactly happened?

Why didn't any of this go as she imagined?

Shouldn't she make a splash at this table?

Why do these people seem to like Lin Xi now?

Lin Yuanyue looked at Lin Xi, who had a calm expression, and clenched her hands. How could she bear to see herself become Lin Xi's stepping stone?

After dinner, Lin Xi was taken to Shen Qingran's yard.

She thought about what Shen Lan had told her, that ever since what happened at the Falong Temple, Shen Qingran had been unwilling to go out, didn't like to see people, and didn't like to talk. Mrs. Shen was really at her wit's end, so she thought of asking Lin Xi to come and persuade him.

Shen Qingran's room was a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits. When she entered the courtyard, there were more than a dozen guards guarding outside the gate. Further inside, there were several maids and old women doing their work.

Shen Lan still had to deal with the guests in the front yard, and the one who led her there was her trusted nanny.

Before entering the house, I heard Shen Qingran's roar: "Get out."

However, the voice sounded a little weak and powerless.

Lin Xi did not go in directly, but asked the maid first, "Has Miss Shen's body always been like this?"

The nanny replied, "It has always been like this since the mother's womb."

Lin Xi pondered secretly, then followed him in.

The windows in the house were deliberately sealed, and the light was very dim.

"You're here!" Shen Qingran said calmly. She pulled aside the bed curtain and coughed several times when she suddenly felt the wind. "Everyone, get out."

Shen Qingran was a little depressed. Her health would only drag down her family and make her mother suffer from the ridicule of the outside world. "It would be great if I were you."

Lin Xi said frankly: "Ms. Shen, you definitely won't think it's me."

Hearing this, Shen Qingran raised her head curiously, and then listened to her say, "My mother died young, and I was born in Yecheng, far away from my relatives. My father remarried, but he didn't care that much about me. Miss Shen has been spoiled since she was a child. Madam Shen gave up her face for you, just to let me persuade you."

Shen Qingran lowered his head, "My body..."

"Forget it. Why don't you tell me how you got to know that Rakshasa from the Chen Mansion?" Shen Qingran propped up his head, curiosity in his eyes.

Lin Xi was stunned. He didn't expect her to be so outgoing. But then he heard her say, "Don't get close to him. I heard from my father that his life story is not that simple."

"Isn't he from the Chen Mansion?" Lin Xi asked subconsciously.

Shen Qingran shook his head, a hint of darkness flashed across his smooth face. "I don't know what happened, but I heard that this Third Master Chen was a wanderer when he was young, and his life was very miserable. Later, he came to the Chen Mansion, but he was not taken seriously. It was he who relied on his own ability to get to the court. Now my father has to give him some respect and avoid his edge."

"The old lady in the Chen family has no blood relationship with him, and the eldest wife is on high alert against him, fearing that he will rob her of her property. No one in the Chen family loves him, and his brothers and sisters wish he were dead."

Lin Xi didn't expect that his situation was somewhat similar to her own.

Shen Qingran looked at her carefully and pursed her lips: "You are good-looking, it's not surprising if he likes you, but you may not have heard that there are rumors in Kyoto that he is unlucky in marriage, so no one has arranged a marriage for him for so many years."

"First, there are rumors; second, those people in the Chen Mansion hope that he will not be able to get married and will be alone for the rest of his life."

Lin Xi pursed her lips and said nothing. She felt depressed when she heard about him from other people. There was calculation and viciousness in that man's eyes, which made people feel scared just by looking at him.

"I really don't know about these things." Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Xi's mind, but she finally suppressed them all. "He is extremely powerful, and I am just a girl from the Lin Mansion. How could I really be involved?"

Shen Qingran said this, and suddenly he became energetic, sat up straight, and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily true."

"I don't know how the selection process for my eldest brother went."

Seeing this, Lin Xi asked, "Why don't we go out for a walk?"

Shen Qingran hesitated for a moment and clenched his hands: "But what if I get sick if I go out?"

She has a mental illness.

Lin Xi raised a smile and guided her in the direction of curiosity, "Could it be that you don't want to go and see who is destined for your eldest brother?"
