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

No one expected that Xu could actually say such a thing, nor did anyone expect that Lin Hewen would slap Xu again in public.

Lin Hewen was so angry that he wanted to strangle Xu to death on the spot. How come he had never realized that Xu was so stupid.

Lin Yuanyue, who had rushed here from outside, was shocked and ran to cover Xu's mouth, "Mother, how could you say such a thing?"

Xu frowned, looked at Lin Yuanyue with disappointment, and pushed her hand away: "Why can't I say it?"

She was about to continue scolding him, but seeing Lin Xi standing next to her without any harm, she said sarcastically, "Why? I just sold your mother's dowry. Won't all your mother's things belong to me in the future? What else do you want?"

The onlookers couldn't help but gasp when they heard this. How could someone say such a thing? If a woman got married and died, her dowry would be left to her own children or taken back by her parents' family. How could she let her stepmother take it?

"Okay, just tell me, where did you spend the money?" Lin Hewen's face looked very ugly. In order to end this farce, he had to know the whereabouts of the money from Xu.

"What money? I've used it all." Xu's back straightened. She had lost all face. She couldn't talk about Zhaoyu anymore. "Have you forgotten that Brother Ming owed you money?"

"Brother Min?" Lin Hewen's eyes were full of doubts, "Are you going to use this money to pay off Brother Min's gambling debts?"

"Yes." Xu's eyes were filled with tears, she cried and touched the ground: "Why don't you believe what I say? Do you want me to die?"

"Since this is your Lin family's private matter, please bring out the IOU for the gambling debt." Wei Hong spoke again in time.

Xu's eyes were red: "No."

Wei Hong was really angry. "Mrs. Lin, if you continue to hinder the investigation, I will torture you."

Today's case is really difficult to handle, and those people just now seemed to have found out something that they shouldn't have found out.

If this accidentally gets involved in party disputes, not only will he lose his official hat, he might even lose his life.

If this matter can be resolved completely, let’s resolve it now!

"Mrs. Lin, please quickly hand over the IOU for the gambling debt." Wei Hong's eyes were sharp, and a heavy pressure fell on Xu's shoulders.

Lin Xi suddenly said, "Why is it so bad to take this out? Mother, if you can take this out and prove that it is to pay off Ming'er's debt, I will not want the nine thousand taels in the judgment."

so good?

Some of the onlookers were also noisy and kept asking, "Can you please show me the IOU?"

"Yes, if you can't take it out, can't you go to the moneylender and get another one?"

Lin Xi didn't expect that someone would help her. She squatted down and said, "Why don't you go find the moneylender directly? That person seems to be called Jiang Zhong."

Wei Hong nodded and sent another person out.

Jiang Zhong quickly arrived in the hall with the note.

As soon as Xu saw the visitor, she immediately panicked. She couldn't let others know, otherwise her Yu Ge'er would have no hope for the future!

She was like a madman, trying to snatch the IOU from Jiang Zhong, but how could she be his opponent? Instead, Jiang Zhong broke one of her arms.

It doesn’t matter if I lose face.

It doesn’t matter if you have no money.

Xu raised her head fiercely and stared at Lin Xi, but no one could affect her child's future. Her child was her hope, and she wanted to throw herself on Lin Xi.

"I kill you."

Lin Xi's eyes were filled with coldness, and her words were filled with grievance: "Mother, I came back from Yecheng and respected you. I have been paying my respects to you every day. You treat Yue'er and Zhaoyu like your own siblings. Although I am not your biological child, why do you want to kill me?"

The pale-faced young lady in front of him looked as if she had suffered a great injustice, and even her tiny body looked extremely pitiful.

How much injustice did he suffer from this stepmother in the mansion?

Xu had no way to stop Jiang Zhong from handing the IOU to Wei Hong. She sat on the ground dejectedly. It was over, everything was over.

Wei Hong didn't expect Xu to have such a big reaction, but after taking the IOU from Jiang Zhong, he couldn't help but frown and said, "Master Lin, there are mistakes in what your wife said."

"What do you mean?" Lin Hewen had no idea.

Wei Hong then said, "The person who owes the gambling debt is not Lin Min from the Lin Mansion."

Lin Hewen frowned. If not him, who else could it be?

"The name on this IOU is Lin Zhaoyu."

what?

Lin Hewen stood there in a daze, but what followed was even more shocking news.

"The money owed is exactly three thousand taels."

Lin Hewen gritted his teeth, his anger rising to the top of his head, "You really raised a good son."

He was completely embarrassed. Now everyone probably knew that he had a son who was active in casinos and had huge gambling debts.

Wei Hong waved his hand and was about to make a decision when he heard a cold voice. He was afraid that he didn't see clearly, so he couldn't help rubbing his eyes. He really saw that the person coming was Mr. Chen San, who rolled and crawled up from his seat, walked to the table, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Greetings, Mr. Chen."

This Lord Chen will not appear easily. Once he appears, it will be a major case with rivers of blood.

Wei Hong felt that he was really unlucky today as he encountered so many things at once.

Chen Xun did not ignore it. He just stopped when he was about to walk to Lin Xi's side, glanced at her lightly, and then walked to Wei Hong, looking down with contempt: "What did you find today?"

Wei Hong's scalp tightened, and he immediately understood what he wanted. He hurriedly crawled to find out the evidence that the Ninth Prince had opened a shop privately and handed it to Chen Xun.

An Liang, who was standing next to Chen Xun, took it.

Time passed quickly, and by the time it was dark.

"Since it is the relic of Miss Lin's mother, it is not good for it to fall into the hands of others. Do you understand?" Chen Xun looked back into the hall, "She is too docile and everyone bullies her."

Wei Hong was surprised, and raised his head cautiously. Miss Lin has a gentle personality?

Even the hall master couldn't help but stare wide-eyed. This man was a master at lying in Mandarin. Just now, this Miss Lin had forced them into a situation where they had no way to retreat by herself.

Everyone: “·······”

Chen Xun didn't care about the expressions of those people, "Master Lin."

Lin Hewen was frightened when he saw Chen Xun, and replied with a dry laugh: "Yes, I am here."

Chen Xun turned the ring on his thumb and said, "Return the key to Miss Lin's mother's dowry to her!"

Lin Hewen didn't dare to refuse, and nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Yes, yes, I'll give it to you when I get back. I'll give it to you when I get back."

But Chen Xun continued, "What should be paid back has been paid back."

Everyone understood the meaning of these words. That was the nine thousand taels that Xu should pay as compensation.

Lin Xi didn't expect that he would speak for herself and was puzzled for a moment, but when she met his deep eyes, she was afraid that he might have seen something around her that could be used.

But it doesn't matter, her goal has been achieved.

His mother's dowry was about to be returned. Lin Xi looked at Xu's pale face. She owed him more than just nine thousand taels.

And the imperial concubine should know these things now!

Is there anything good that can happen to Lin Yuanyue?
