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

After several days, rumors concerning the Lin family spread.

Lin Xi looked at the account book in her hand. This was the private property left to her by her grandfather in Kyoto. However, the income in the account book was getting less and less. She raised her head and asked, "Madam Xu, aren't these two or three places in the most prosperous areas of Kyoto? How can it be getting less and less?"

Madam Xu shook her head and said, "In order to avoid the eyes and ears of Master Xu, I only go there every ten days or half a month. I really don't know the inside story."

Lin Xi closed the account book and looked at the table with her hands. It was quite interesting. She had always thought that the staff left to her by her grandfather would not falsify the account books, but in the past two months, the income had almost broken even.

However, in Yecheng, when my grandfather handed over these properties to me, the annual profit was three or four thousand taels.

She needs money now, and a lot of money, to do more things.

In her previous life, she was so stupid that she thought love was more precious than money. She gave all her private property to Chen Chu. She was so stupid that she didn't have any money at all, and she could not move forward.

Madam Xu said in annoyance, "It's all my fault that I'm useless and can't help you, young lady."

"Madam Xu, this has nothing to do with you. I just don't care about these shops." Lin Xi looked at Madam Xu and said comfortingly.

In the past few days, rumors have been spreading outside.

She had to take action, otherwise Lin Min's reputation would really be damaged. You can't write two "Lin" characters with one stroke. As long as Lin Min still relies on the Lin family, he will not be able to completely get rid of it.

"Tell Chunhua to hand over these documents." Lin Xi pursed her lips and thought of Chen Xun again.

I’m afraid that Jiang Dong from last time was also his man.

This time, he helped me and also helped collect evidence. What was it for?

Lin Xi didn't think Chen Xun, a man with deep scheming, would do that to her just because he liked her. She thought that he must be planning something from her.

As for Chen Xun, he had been rewarded for his work in Jiangnan Prefecture, and because of his physical injury, he had been staying in the prefecture for a long time.

"Master, Miss Lin's idea has been spread out." An Liang looked at Chen Xun who had a blank expression on his face.

Wisps of white mist rose from the incense burner, and a faint fragrance filled the room.

A breeze blew in from the window, ruffling his black hair that fell behind his back. He was wearing a black robe, and his eyes were looking forward indifferently. His eyes were naturally slender and gentle, but the indifferent expression on his face made his handsome appearance even more distant.

An Liang couldn't help but probe: "Master, it seems that you are very concerned about Miss Lin."

Chen Xun looked at him, dark shadows surged in his eyes, his brows furrowed, and he smiled deeply: "Really?"

The atmosphere around him suddenly became fierce, and An Liang knew that he had once again presumptuously speculated on his master's intentions.

At least, he did guess right. No matter what it meant, the master treated Miss Lin differently. It seemed that he would have to be careful if he met Miss Lin in the future.

"How's Shen Renzhang's investigation going?" Chen Xun looked at the letter on the desk.

An Liang whispered, "According to my investigation, Young Master An has a good character and is very self-disciplined. Young masters of his age have hidden concubines in their rooms, but he doesn't."

"In addition, his studies, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, literary and military strategies are all top-notch."

"So, he is the perfect match?" Chen Xun clenched his hands at his sides, his eyes dark.

Anliang nodded.

Chen Xun pursed his lips slightly, "If only..."

An Liang suddenly felt that the atmosphere around his master was terribly cold.

"If she wants to do something, you just need to watch her and help her if you can." Chen Xun was still looking at the letter on the desk. After a while, he sneered: "But she has her own way. I'm afraid it won't be easy for others to get what they want in her hands."

An Liang: “…”

Master, are you praising Miss Lin?

······

Lin Xi and Shen Qingran met at the same shop as last time to pick up the hairpin that Yueru had ordered.

Inside the hall, the servant said loudly, "Everyone, today we got a rare item in our store, the Phoenix Headdress. Don't underestimate this item. It was once used by a princess, and the descendants only took it out to sell because they were down and out."

The people who come to this shop to buy and sell are all well-known people in Kyoto. Naturally, they are also keen on buying precious items, especially those that others do not have.

The phoenix headdress was placed in the center, and the hall master himself untied the red cloth. The fine workmanship attracted many people to come forward and offer their prices.

"You're lying." Lin Xi's face turned cold and he walked up to the group.

The hall master didn't expect anyone to cause trouble, but seeing that she was well dressed, he could only reply in a friendly tone: "I wonder what lie I told?"

He appeared polite on the surface, but in his heart he couldn't help but consider whether Lin Xi in front of him was someone else's intentional trouble maker, and a hint of contempt flashed through his mind.

"I didn't expect there would be a thief here again. This phoenix headdress of yours was my mother's dowry." Lin Xi gritted his teeth, looking furious.

The hall master was stunned, surprised by what she said, and explained in a gentle manner: "I bought this Phoenix headdress, how could it be your mother's dowry? Moreover, my shop is a legitimate business, how could there be thieves?"

Is this guy crazy?

"Miss, if you cause trouble here, I will have to report to the police." The hall master bowed.

Lin Xi sneered, "I'm the one who's going to report to the police. Chunhua, go report to the police."

Chunhua knelt down and bowed, then said in a resounding voice, "Yes, I will go right away."

Seeing this, the hall master could only smile and say, "Miss, it's not necessary to report to the police. You said that this phoenix headdress was your mother's dowry. Do you have any evidence?"

"Evidence?" Lin Xi walked forward, turned the Phoenix Head to the back, and pointed to the bottom line of small characters: "It is engraved here: Xie Family of Yecheng."

The hall master's face changed drastically, and he hurried forward to see that there were indeed those words on it, but he had to explain with a stiff upper lip: "Even if there are these words, how can it be said that it is your mother's dowry."

Lin Xi withdrew his hand and stood up straight: "It's very simple, the carving technique, my mother's dowry was made by masters in Yecheng, and this item happened to be made by Master Mu Yuhuo from Yecheng."

Although Mu Yuhuo stayed in Yecheng, his manufacturing skills were famous throughout the country.

The hall master was stunned. This item was given to him by someone close to the Ninth Prince, but he didn't expect this to happen. He gritted his teeth and said, "Miss, how about we solve this matter privately?"

"How could my mother's dowry appear in your store?" Lin Xi's eyes suddenly turned cold. "If you can't explain it clearly, I can only report it to the police."

Seeing that the hall master was still hesitating, Lin Xi said directly: "Chunhua, go report to the police."

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly.

Since Xu dared to secretly sell her mother's things, how could she swallow this?

Could it be that he really thought she didn't know that it was Lin Yuanyue who sold these things in the name of the Ninth Prince?

Now, let’s see how you end up.

If you sell the bride's dowry without permission, you will have to pay three times the amount.
