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

"Wait, girl, wait a minute." The hall master quickly stood in front of Lin Xilu, fearing that she would really report to the police. "If this object really has an unknown origin, and I have been deceived, why don't we solve it privately?"

He stretched out his hand, wanting Lin Xi to go to the back hall.

But how could Lin Xi really believe what he said? Wasn't he going to the back hall just to use the Ninth Prince to suppress her?

Seeing that the gentle girl in front of him remained silent, the hall master thought that she agreed. He just wanted them to be alone together and tell her about the Ninth Prince's reputation to see if she would go to the authorities to file a complaint.

"Look, everyone around is watching. Neither you nor I have a good reputation. Why don't you show some mercy and let me off easy? If it really matches your mother's dowry list, I will compensate you at the original price. How about that?" The hall master glanced at Lin Xi's face and saw that she had no intention of objecting, so he quickly said:

"Miss, please!"

As he said this, he wanted to take Lin Xi back, but after waiting for a long time, he saw that she showed no signs of moving. The hall master lowered his voice and said, "Miss, after all, the headdress is in my hands. If you still want the headdress, just listen to my advice."

Lin Xi sneered, thinking that he really thought she was stupid. If she really followed him to where there was no one behind, she would not be able to explain herself even if she was right. What's more, he actually used such words to threaten her at this time.

But, she came here on purpose to make a big deal out of this matter today!

"No." Lin Xi took a step back, and Shen Qingran, who was standing beside her, also protected her. "You want to trick me into being alone with you in private? Do you want to ruin my reputation, or do you want to spread rumors that I'm lying?"

"This phoenix headdress is the only one in the world. You only need to take out my mother's dowry list and compare it with it, and you will know that you must go to court with me today."

Shen Qingran's fair face turned red with anger. He grabbed Lin Xi's arm as if she was protecting a chick. "Someone, take good care of that phoenix headdress. I want to see who stole her mother's relics."

At Shen Qingran's command, the guards outside the door rushed in and surrounded the booth.

"How dare you?" The hall master was so angry that his head hurt. Why did they choose today to take out the things?

Lin Xi suddenly thought of something, covered her chest, looked very anxious, and quickly said to Aunt Xu beside her: "The key to my mother's dowry has always been in Xu's hands. Go back and tell my father and mother that there has been a thief in the house. I have already reported it to the police."

"Yes." Nanny Xu turned around and went back home.

······

Lin Min is gambling outside?

When Lin Hewen heard this, he was furious, and was also very angry that Xu had taken the initiative to pay off his gambling debts for him.

"Xu, why didn't you tell me about this debt repayment?" Lin Hewen's face was full of anger. The second branch didn't have much wealth, and they relied on them to survive until now. He shook his head and continued, "I thought Brother Min was a good person, but you can't judge a person by his appearance."

He originally did not hold a high official position, but when Lin Xi's mother was still alive, she managed to get him an official title. But after Lin Xi's mother passed away, he had to live off his income.

The maid beside him waved a fan, and Lin Hewen closed his eyes comfortably. "Fortunately, Zhaoyu doesn't have these habits. Although his studies are a little worse."

Xu, who was sitting next to him and peeling oranges, heard this and cut the orange flesh, splashing juice all over her hands. She frowned in disgust and coaxed him in a low voice: "Zhaoyu is a good child. He stayed in the ancestral hall obediently today and didn't go out. I see that he has become much thinner, so why not let him out early."

Hearing what Xu said, Lin Hewen nodded, reached out to take the orange from her hand, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Min, how much money do you owe?"

"It's not much. It can be dealt with on paper. Otherwise, how could I dare to agree to this matter alone? I think it has spread outside." Xu picked up another orange and asked tentatively.

Lin Hewen suppressed his anger and said, "I don't know why, but even the master, who I have no contact with, knows about this. It has made it difficult for me to go out these days. I really should catch Brother Min and beat him up. If Zhaoyu dares to do this, I will break his legs."

Xu smiled stiffly, her hand trembled and the orange fell to the ground and rolled a few times, "He doesn't dare."

"It's better to settle down between Lin Xi and the child from my mother's family as soon as possible."

"Yue'er is now favored by the Ninth Prince. The holy monk said that her luck will change right now. If she misses this opportunity, she will never have this wealth and glory again."

"Yue'er and Zhaoyu are both your biological children, shouldn't you think more about them?"

Xu stood up, placed her fingers skillfully on his temple, and began to rub it gently.

Hearing her say this, Lin Hewen opened his eyes, looked at Xu, was silent for a while, and nodded.

"it is good."

As soon as the voice fell, someone led Aunt Xu in. Aunt Xu knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, "Master, there was a thief in Madam's house, and the young lady's dowry was stolen."

Xu's expression changed slightly, and her voice trembled a little: "What are you talking about? Pull it down quickly."

"Master, the eldest daughter found the young lady's dowry in the jewelry shop and has reported it to the police. Now please, Master, go and seek justice for the eldest daughter!"

Lin Hewen sat up suddenly. Xu, who was just as surprised as he was, said in unison, "What? Report to the police?"

He suppressed his anger and said, "Don't you think this incident at the Lin Mansion is embarrassing enough? You actually reported it to the police?"

"The eldest lady said that the key to the young lady's dowry has always been in the hands of the mistress. If the items appeared in the market, they must have been stolen. It would be impossible to get them back without reporting them to the police. Moreover, she was worried that someone in the mansion had colluded with outsiders to steal, and was afraid that someone had ill intentions. If any rumors really spread in the future, the Lin Mansion had already reported them to the police, which would leave evidence."

"Miss, this is all for the Lin family's consideration!"

Lin Hewen's face turned pale and he sat up: "Let's go and take a look."

"Master." Xu cried out in horror.

Lin Hewen turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu shook her head and gritted her teeth. Was she going to tell the master now that she was the one who sold these things?

The master had personally instructed that those things must not be moved. They were all belonging to a dead person, so why couldn't they be moved? She was angry, but there was nothing she could do.

She really didn't expect that Lin Xi had just returned from Yecheng quietly, looking like a fool, and was deceived by a few false family affections. How could he suddenly change his nature and become so powerful that she was caught off guard.

If someone secretly sells someone else's dowry and is found out, he or she will have to pay it back.

Even if it is used by the husband's family, if it is reported to the government, they will have to pay the compensation.

Xu felt very uneasy for a moment and hurriedly followed, fearing that more things would be discovered.

If this matter can be exposed, let it be exposed, and don't make it a bigger deal.
