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

As soon as Chunhua returned to Linxi's yard, she told him what she had seen.

Lin Xi didn't expect that Lin Zhaoyu's gambling debts had already appeared so early, but how did Xu pay off Lin Zhaoyu's gambling debts?

She was silent for a long time, frowned, and said, "Don't tell anyone what you saw or heard from the Madam."

Chunhua nodded. She had been following the eldest lady since she came to the capital, but she had never felt that the young lady had shown any scheming or ruthless tactics, which made her really want to follow the eldest lady.

After all, it is better to follow the eldest lady than to follow Xu. She knows that she is just a fire-making girl in Xu's place.

"You did a great job today." Lin Xi casually took out the hairpin on her head and handed it to her: "You will be rewarded if you do a good job."

How could Chunhua not see that the hairpin was of good quality? Xu had never given her anything as good as this. She quickly took it and knelt on the ground to express her loyalty, "I will follow the young lady faithfully from now on."

Bang bang bang, he kowtowed three times.

Lin Xi smiled and helped her up personally. "If you don't trust someone, don't use him. If I use you, I won't doubt you. Just do your job well!"

Lin Min also heard these words and understood them all at once. She looked up and asked, "Sister, do you know everything?"

Lin Xi did not deny it, but asked: "Now, isn't it a good opportunity?"

Lin Min was a smart person, so why didn't he understand Lin Xi's approach? He nodded and looked at Lin Yueru, who was lying on the bed and knew nothing.

······

The next day.

Lin Xi was invited by Shen Qingran to go to the teahouse with her.

"Today, I really have something to tell you." Shen Qingran winked playfully, trying to keep her in suspense, but Lin Xi was patient and didn't wait for her to respond. She took the initiative to speak:

"I heard from my mother that when the Ninth Prince returned, he said that he looked down on Hua Meir."

"What?" Lin Xi pursed her lips, but was not too surprised by the result.

In the previous life, Lin Yuanyue made Chen Chu completely devoted to her, and even the people who appeared around her seemed to have no resistance to her.

"You don't look surprised at all. Hua Meir is now at home and is about to commit suicide. I heard that one of your sisters has come to comfort her. Do you think that if Hua Meir knew about this, would she want to kill one of your sisters?" Shen Qingran said with a smile.

Lin Xi whispered: "How do you know these things?"

Shen Qingran said calmly: "There are no secrets in a noble family. It's just that the imperial concubine in the palace was very angry and locked the ninth prince in the mansion and didn't let him go out."

"But I have heard that your stepmother has found a man for you to marry. That man is not a good person. I found out that he already has ten wives and concubines at home, and his mother is not easy to get along with either."

Lin Xi didn't expect that she could find out all these things, and couldn't help asking: "You are such a live pigeon, why don't I open a teahouse for you to buy information."

Shen Qingran looked proud and raised his chin slightly: "Then I can collect all the information in the world and make a fortune."

Having said this, she laughed out loud, then shook her head, and her originally bright expression suddenly dimmed.

"You also know that with my body, it's hard to say whether I can survive my prime years." Shen Qingran couldn't help but sigh when he said this.

Lin Xi grabbed her hand and said, "How can you not survive? You are worrying about nothing. Aren't we going to the teahouse for tea today? Why are you talking about this?"

This teahouse is a place where the noble students discuss poetry and compose essays, and it has always been famous for its elegance.

As soon as the two entered the teahouse, they saw that there were many students gathered downstairs, discussing some topic.

Lin Xi didn't expect that they would talk about Chen Xun again.

"What Mr. Chen San did was for the country, the people, and the world."

"Bullshit, killing an entire family is for the sake of the world?" The student who was speaking had a red face because of arguing with others. "Mr. Chen San may have been investigating tax evasion and eliminating bad policies, but how could he kill an entire family? He didn't even spare women and children."

After these words were spoken, the place fell into silence.

After hearing this, Lin Xi followed Shen Qingran to the private room and asked, "What exactly did they say?"

Shen Qingran said, "What else could it be? Lord Chen received a secret order from His Majesty to investigate the corruption in Jiangnan Prefecture some time ago. He was also attacked by many assassinations and I heard he was injured."

Lin Xi didn't expect that he was injured because of this incident, and the people in Jiangnan Prefecture were too bold.

"Killing an entire family, what's the matter?" Lin Xi couldn't help but ask.

The mischievous surprise in Shen Qingran's eyes was too strong. Lin Xi wanted to explain, but she spoke first: "Master Chen killed the entire family of the corrupt official, and some people think that this should not be done and that he was too cruel."

"However, how could these people see clearly that the matter is not that simple."

"Yeah." Lin Xi raised the teacup beside him and said softly, "He is alone and has reached that position. Others can understand how it feels. If he doesn't act ruthlessly, when others turn around and hold him in their hands, who knows if others will show mercy to him?"

The room on the second floor was not completely partitioned off. Lin Xi had never thought that she would meet Chen Chu here, and Chen Chu had never expected to meet her.

Chen Chu was a little embarrassed and just bowed hastily outside the door. "I didn't expect to see Miss Lin here."

He has never forgotten Lin Xi since he met her once. Originally, she had a chance to be his wife, even if the means were a bit dirty.

"I didn't expect to see you here." Lin Xi's tone was extremely indifferent, without even raising his eyelids.

Chen Chu asked, "How is Miss Lin these days?"

"Why am I not okay?" Lin Xi asked back, not wanting to waste any more words, and said bluntly: "What happened that day, I'm sure Master Chen knows it in his heart. If I have to have someone in my heart, that person might be your uncle, not you."

"What did you say?" Chen Chu was speechless, his eyes full of disbelief. He raised his head and looked at Lin Xi. He originally thought that there was a possibility between them. Why did she like his uncle while his uncle looked down on him?

"My uncle is such a cold-hearted person, you would rather like him than me?" Chen Chu had a stiff smile on his face, "Miss Lin, you are joking!"

Chen Chu thought that Lin Xi was just angry about what happened that day, and was deliberately saying these words to humiliate him.

He wanted to persuade her, "Ms. Lin, if you don't like him, then forget it. But don't joke about this. Do you like my uncle?" He found it hard to believe this.

When Lin Xi saw this face, she couldn't help but want to vomit. He had deliberately come in front of her, so how could she not see the sinister intentions in his eyes?

He said it so bluntly, and tried to save his own face, with an even bigger sneer on his face: "It seems that Master Chen still doesn't understand what I mean."

"In my heart, you are far inferior to Master Chen San."

"Do you understand? Chen Chu."

Chen Xun's cold voice sounded on the second floor.
