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

Lin Yuanyue opened the door and looked at Xu with a cold expression: "Didn't father put you under house arrest? Why are you out again?"

Seeing her cold gaze, Xu Shi didn't react for a moment, and was a little surprised: "Yue'er, what's wrong with you? Didn't the imperial concubine reward you? Isn't the reward meant to finalize your marriage with the Ninth Prince?"

As soon as she put her hand on Lin Yuanyue, she deliberately moved sideways to block it.

"What's wrong, Yue'er?"

How could Xu not see the resentful look in Lin Yuanyue's eyes? She felt panic in her heart, because all she did was for her two children.

Lin Yuanyue looked coldly at the two maids standing behind Xu and said viciously, "What's wrong with you two maids? How can you let the mistress come out?"

After that, she turned around and whispered in Xu's ear, "Mother, it is because of your nonsense that Concubine Ruan will not let me marry the Ninth Prince."

"How...how is it possible?" Xu lowered her head and let the two maids pull her back. "Mother doesn't want to hurt you. Mother is doing this for your own good!"

Zhao Yu is useless now. If Yue Er really didn't marry the Ninth Prince and her reputation is ruined, what should she do now?

······

Lin Xi held the key sent by Lin Hewen and the IOU from Xu Jiuqianli in her hand. She half lowered her eyes and coughed a few times.

Seeing this, Madam Xu quickly asked Chunhua to close the window and said, "Why did you suddenly fall ill? Miss, you should take good care of yourself."

Seeing the dark medicine in Aunt Xu's hand, Lin Xi pursed her lips and quickly avoided it, saying, "Aunt Xu, this is just a minor illness, so I won't take the medicine."

Aunt Xu said helplessly: "You have never liked taking medicine since you were a child. This won't do. You must take it this time."

Lin Xi handed the key to Aunt Xu and said quickly, "You still need to count mother's dowry one by one. Please put this medicine here for the time being!"

Nanny Xu took the key and signaled to Chunhua that she must take the medicine.

Seeing Aunt Xu's back gradually fade away, Lin Xi asked Chunhua to pour the medicine into the basin, and then said, "This time it was Master Chen who helped me. If I don't go to thank him in person, I'm afraid it would be unreasonable."

Chunhua frowned, and she couldn't help but say, "Miss, you've ruined your reputation with this move. How can you get married in the future?"

married?

Lin Xi shook her head. After she was reborn, she no longer thought about getting married. She only wanted to get to the bottom of what happened in the past. She sent people to look for the person who used to serve her mother in the Lin Mansion, but there was no trace of them.

What happened back then that was handled so cleanly? And is she Lin Hewen's child?

Thinking of this, Lin Xi couldn't help but frowning and tightening his palms slightly. And who was the origin of the monk who had been behind Xu?

She has never seen any trace of him in the Lin Mansion until now. Logically speaking, she should be able to see him if she goes to Xu's courtyard.

This person seems to be deliberately targeting me, so I have to investigate further.

She also had to find a trouble for Xu.

Lin Xi asked someone to prepare some cakes and went to see his aunt Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu's courtyard was very secluded. At first, Lin Hewen argued for a separate room for her in the Lin Mansion. This had never happened before, especially among the elders of the Lin family, who would not allow it. But later, as the head of the family, Lin Hewen still did it. However, in order not to attract too much attention, Lin Xiu lived in almost the most remote location in the Lin Mansion.

This yard is behind the kitchen and is the worst place in terms of feng shui.

Lin Xiu knew from afar that Lin Xi had returned and was waiting for her in her room with a proud look on her face. She just wanted to know why Lin Xi came to her.

But she didn't expect that the things that happened in the Lin Mansion would actually affect her child's academic career. Now her son can only return home to prepare for the exam. A trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.

How could Xu, that idiot, do such a thing?

"Are you here?" Lin Xiu asked softly.

The maid who answered said cautiously, "I am here."

Lin Xiu nodded, smelling the incense that refreshed her mind and concentrated her energy, and shook her head slightly, "Just to see what she's here for."

As soon as Lin Xi entered the room, both of them had smiles on their faces. "Aunt, why haven't you come to see me for so many days?"

Lin Xiu's smile froze, and she couldn't help but think, how come she is even more pretentious than me now?

"I have been ill these days." Lin Xiu could only perfunctorily answer, and then looked at the cakes she brought, and then asked, "What is the matter with you coming here today?"

Lin Xi looked worried and said softly, "My mother made a mistake and was confined by my father. I don't know what she could do to get out of this."

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiu picked up a piece of pastry she brought with her, took a sip and found it tasted okay.

Seeing this, Lin Xi continued, "It always takes someone to manage the household..."

Lin Xiu suddenly sneered, "Could it be that you want to be the housekeeper?"

Lin Xi hurriedly shook her head and said calmly, "Of course I can't do it. Aunt, since the third branch hasn't split up, you are also qualified to be the housekeeper."

Lin Xiu's face paused, she had never thought of this, in the past, Xu held the power of housekeeper, so she had to bow her head sometimes. But now Xu was under house arrest, and the power of housekeeper was vacant, so why couldn't she do the same?

"You... actually have this intention." Lin Xiu immediately glanced at her with a scrutinizing look, and then put the cakes far away. "Tell me, what do you want?"

Lin Xi glanced at her, then suddenly smiled and said, "This matter was caused by me. I'm afraid my mother will blame me. After all, my marriage has not been decided yet."

Lin Xiu looked as if he understood everything.

Lin Xi continued, "Aunt, there are always fewer people around my father. I'm sure my father will be grateful to you for sending one or two nice people to serve him."

"Ha." Lin Xiu laughed out loud. She didn't expect Lin Xi to say something like this: "Is that all? But if I go to Big Brother and ask for the housekeeper's rights myself, how could he not give it to me?"

Lin Xi understood that she was just thinking that her chips were not enough. "Cousin, is he home? When I was in Yecheng, my grandfather asked Mr. Ouyang to give me lessons. I heard that he came to Kyoto not long ago. I think he can stay at home for a while."

"Is it Mr. Ouyang from Ouyang Jing?" Lin Xiu stood up, and the tabletop shook. "Can you invite him over?"

Lin Xi nodded: "Did my aunt agree to this deal?"

How could Lin Xiu not agree? She nodded and said, "Okay, leave it to me."

The job was done, and Lin Xi had no room to stay here any longer, so he turned around and walked out.

As soon as she walked out of the yard, she heard footsteps following her, followed by a handsome male voice: "Cousin."
