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

"Just send him away, that's all." Lin Hewen said nonchalantly without putting down the dishes in his hands.

Chang Bo hesitated, looked at Xu, and then lowered his head, "Yes, someone came to collect the debt with Master Zhaoyu's handwritten IOU."

Lin Hewen didn't react for a moment, "What?" His tone was full of disbelief.

When Lin Zhaoyu heard this, he shrank into a ball. He didn't expect that group of people would actually come to his door. Hadn't he already paid back the money?

He immediately looked at Xu, tugged at her sleeve, and said softly, "Mom, please save me."

Xu frowned, turned her head and said to Lin Hewen, "Are they here to ask for money? Master, don't be fooled by these people."

Lin Hewen thought about it. He knew Lin Zhaoyu's character. Although he was a bit of a playboy, he would not owe gambling debts. "Kick those people out."

Hearing this, Chang Bo wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "But those people are making a scene at the door and are unwilling to leave unless the master goes out to meet them in person."

There are always people who like to watch the fun, he waved his hand, "Then I'll go out and meet them."

Just as Lin Hewen was about to stand up, Xu stopped him and said, "Why bother the master to go in person for this matter? Why don't I go and take a look? It's just some people who are asking for money. I can solve it with a few words."

"Yeah." Lin Hewen thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Xu smiled, but turned around and took a deep breath. Didn't we agree to give them the money in a few days? Why did they come so soon?

What's more, it always takes some time to transfer those treasures without being discovered.

The Lin family lives in Ji'en Lane, where there are vendors in every street and alley. If someone makes trouble, there will naturally be people watching.

“A dignified Lin family, can’t even pay off their debts?” Leading the group was a burly man with a rough look. He stood at the door, like a wall of flesh, blocking the gate of the Lin family’s house.

When Xu came out, she saw a group of people gathering outside. She almost fainted, but when she thought of her good-for-nothing son, she gritted her teeth and went out.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Xu thought that she couldn't admit it yet, so she could only grit her teeth and throw it out first, "Who owes you money?"

"Who else could it be, but the young master of your Lin Mansion? I am a mediocre person, and I really can't make ends meet. You have owed me money for a long time, so I have no choice but to come to your house to ask for it."

Someone recognized him. He was Jiang Zhong, a notorious villain who was famous for collecting gambling debts on West Street.

No one in the crowd was talking at first, but someone suddenly asked, "Jiang Zhong, are you here to collect gambling debts?"

Jiang Zhong turned his head and didn't see the person who was talking. He just chuckled a few times and said, "We are just collecting debts." After that, he turned around and looked at Xu and asked in a rough voice, "Are you the head of the Lin Mansion? Pay the money back quickly. I will give you the IOU in my hand, otherwise we will go to the authorities."

When Xu heard this, her heart tightened. There was a law that students participating in the imperial examinations were not allowed to gamble. "It's strange. That child has no parents, but he actually did such a thing."

"Since it is someone from the Lin Mansion who owes it, I will pay it back."

When people heard Xu say this, they all thought she was generous and kind.

Jiang Zhong said loudly: "If that's the case, then Madam, please bring the money first!"

Xu gritted her teeth and ordered the nanny beside her to take out the money she had already exchanged for the loan. "I didn't expect that the child would do such a thing behind my aunt's back. It's really heartbreaking."

She must pin the blame on Lin Min for this matter. If word gets out that it was Lin Zhaoyu, his life will be ruined.

Fortunately, these people are easy to fool.

"I can't come up with so much money right now. Why don't you pay back half of it first, and I'll think of a way to pay the remaining money. How about it?" Xu took out a handkerchief, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and kept looking at the expressions of outsiders.

This matter has nothing to do with her Zhaoyu.

Jiang Zhong was a warrior and he knew it was not good to push people into a corner. So when he saw that there was indeed half of the silver, he nodded.

Seeing the group of people disperse, Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked back, whispering to the nanny beside her: "Go, find someone to tell them that it was Brother Ming who owed gambling debts. Make sure this matter is confirmed, and don't let Zhaoyu be involved in any way."

Mammy bowed and said, "Yes."

When Xu returned to the courtyard, everyone had left except Lin Hewen, who was still waiting for her. She smiled and walked up to him, pinching his shoulder and saying, "Master, the Ninth Prince has fallen in love with Yue'er. The matter of returning the fortune that the Saint Monk mentioned should be put on the agenda."

"Yeah." Lin Hewen closed his eyes and enjoyed it. "It's time to put it on the agenda. She won't dare to disobey her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words."

"Since Mr. Chen San has no feelings for Lin Xi, let's do it over there!"

······

Hearing the news Chunhua heard in the front yard, Lin Xi sneered. Without raising her head, she looked at the tea leaves stirring in the warm water in the cup and said in a clear voice, "In that case, make a big fuss over there. The bigger the better."

"Let everyone know that there is a gambler in the Lin Mansion. Since Xu wants to destroy Brother Ming, I will lend her a helping hand."

Chunhua was shocked and asked, "But isn't this ruining Master Min's reputation?"

"Go ahead and do it! Remember, the bigger the fuss, the better." Lin Xi spoke slowly and indifferently, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Chunhua looked at the pair of black pupils and couldn't help shuddering. She lowered her head and said, "Yes, I understand."

Lin Xi closed his eyes and pondered for a while.

Her father might not be her father now. No one in the entire Lin family would help her except Brother Ming.

Grandfather said to her. Thinking of her grandfather, Lin Xi opened her eyes, clenched her hands slightly, and her nose felt sore.

Although her grandfather was strict in managing the family and was never lenient towards young people like them, she knew that her grandfather was always good to her. Otherwise, in her previous life, if she had married Chen Chu, Chen Chu would have been able to rely on her connections to take away extremely important things from her grandfather.

But she still doesn't know what it is.

"Wait, then."

"This Lin Mansion will eventually have to change its owner."

Even though she can't use much now, isn't what she learned from them about taking advantage of people's hearts?

What if Xu threw the dirty water of this matter on Lin Min? All the documents are in her hands now. Wouldn't it be better to use someone else's hand to solve this matter?

"Everyone in the Lin Mansion still owes her a life."

Lin Xi raised his hand and the cup broke into pieces on the ground.

"And that old monk."
