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

Chen Xun is now twenty-eight years old. He comes from a family of military generals and is highly valued by His Majesty. He hosted a banquet for all officials at Fengyi Terrace and even placed his seat next to His Majesty. Which minister could get such an honor?

What's more, although he was in mourning for his grandfather, he had always stayed by the prince's side. The prince had been a dandy boy since childhood and would only listen to a few words from him.

That's the Eastern Palace. His Majesty has few children, and only the Crown Prince is the most favored by the Emperor. He will soon ascend to the throne. Mr. Chen San's future is probably limitless, not to mention that he doesn't have a wife now.

Lin Yuanyue wanted to ask more, but seeing Lin Xi covering her mouth with her hands and smiling, she said with a worried look on her face, "Sister, you have been wronged today, but the two maids serving you really should be beaten with a few sticks and driven out of the house."

Lin Xi listened quietly, his eyes unchanged, and took the initiative to hold Lin Yuanyue's hand, showing just the right amount of sadness: "I'm new here, it's normal for them not to treat me sincerely, you don't have to go to your mother because of this."

She sneered in her heart, and was so blinded by hatred that she even forgot about the two girls who were monitoring her.

"But sister, if there is a banquet like this in the future, I'd better ask you to take me there!" Lin Xi smiled and said, "Sister, I have been in Yecheng all year round, so I rarely attend these banquets."

Lin Yuanyue couldn't say no and could only nod in agreement, but the expression in her eyes changed.

How come she seemed like a different person after going to Chen's house?

If she appears in front of people in Kyoto more often, wouldn't it remind others that her mother is not the original wife?

"Sister, let's talk about this later. You go back and rest first. I'll go see mother." Lin Yuanyue bowed with tears still on her face.

Lin Xi paused in the corridor for a moment, and he could roughly guess the situation in the house.

They must have been wondering how they could have given their fate to their delicate and kind-hearted sister. Such a ridiculous thing could have happened to them.

Lin Xi turned and walked back to her yard, the breeze brushed across her cheek and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

In this case, the best way is to let them see me climbing up step by step on the Lin Mansion, and in the same way, let them suffer the consequences of their own actions.

Just as she expected.

In the study.

They were indeed discussing what to do next, and even wanted to see what Mr. Chen San's attitude towards her was.

But I have never heard that Mr. Chen San has any favor for that woman. If I offend this gentleman because of this, it would be more trouble than it is worth.

Therefore, they had to find out Mr. Chen San's attitude towards her.

······

Return to Tonghe Garden.

Chunhua and Qiushi were already kneeling in the yard.

Aunt Xu put her hands on her waist and said angrily: "You two actually let the young lady stay alone in the Chen Mansion. Kneeling in this yard is not a light punishment."

Looking at Aunt Xu's back, Lin Xi's eyes turned red, her nose felt sore, and she almost shed tears.

Aunt Xu was the old lady left to her by her mother, but she did not know people well in her previous life. Later, she listened to Chunhua Qiushi's words and drove Aunt Xu to the farm to live in her old age.

As Aunt Xu spoke, she slapped each of them in the face.

Chunhua and Qiushi could only endure it obediently, but there was a barely perceptible hatred in their eyes.

Seeing Aunt Xu's palms fall on their faces, Lin Xi slowly appeared in front of everyone, "Aunt Xu."

Hearing Lin Xi's voice, Chunhua and Qiushi immediately stared at her swollen cheeks, kowtowed in her direction, and said in unison: "Miss, we didn't mean it. Please have mercy on us."

In the past, influenced by her grandfather's teachings, she never liked to delegate things to others, so she simply reduced the number of maids in the yard. Compared with the dozen maids and old women in Lin Yuanyue's yard, her Tonghe Garden only had two maids, Chunhua and Qiushi, as well as two maids who did rough work and Aunt Xu, which was indeed too shabby.

"Why should I show mercy?"

Chunhua and Qiushi were stunned, they looked up at Lin Xi, who still had a smile on her face. It was the same smile, but now it made them feel cold at the back.

It was as if his secret affair with the lady had been discovered by the eldest girl.

"Madam Xu, call all the maids and servants in the yard." Lin Xi stood at the highest point in the yard, looking down at everyone.

She had a smile on her face, but her eyes no longer had the tenderness of the past.

A few servants were kneeling in the yard.

Lin Xi clenched his hands and said sternly, "In the past, I must have been too lenient to you, which made you unwilling to treat me sincerely."

After that, she glanced around and said in a sharp voice: "Chunhua and Qiushi failed to protect their master. They will be fined for half a year's salary. This is a small punishment. Qiushi will be expelled from my yard from now on. As for Chunhua..."

Everyone took a deep breath, waiting for the young lady to decide how to deal with Chunhua.

The smile on Lin Xi's lips deepened: "If you hadn't told me today, I would not have been able to return home safely. You should stay with me!"

Chunhua was already dumbfounded.

She didn't tell the lady anything?

But Qiushi, who was driven to the outer courtyard, gritted his teeth and hated Chunhua. The look in his eyes clearly meant that she had told the lady about the lady's plan.

But she did nothing of the kind.

Lin Xi went to help Chunhua up, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Madam will never believe you again."

Only the two of them could hear this sound.

Chunhua collapsed on the ground, looked up at the eldest lady in disbelief, and suddenly became scared.

Miss, you seem to know everything.

But with one word from the eldest lady, she was finished.

Chunhua watched her back disappear into the house, trembling all over.

But Qiushi wanted to pounce on her and tear her to pieces, as the lifeblood of both of them was grasped by the young lady.

If Qiushi was driven out of the yard and had no use anymore, she would be nothing more than a servant girl when she returned to the lady's side, and might even be sold by her gambling brother.

And now, because of what the eldest lady said, it is even more impossible for her to return to the lady, and she may even be hated by the lady.

She is finished.

Chunhua collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.

Lin Xi just looked at him coldly and called Aunt Xu to go into the house together.

As soon as she entered the room, Aunt Xu asked her anxiously, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

The girl has always been soft-hearted, why did she suddenly punish the maid today?

Lin Xi only said, "Mammy, you are an old man who has followed my mother. I believe you will never harm me. Now you are the only person I can trust in this mansion. I have to ask you to help me find one or two reliable maids without letting anyone in the mansion know."

Madam Xu understood immediately and choked up a little as she said, "Miss, I understand."

Lin Xi looked at the flickering candle flame indifferently and adjusted the candle string with a silver hook.

Qiushi's life and property are in the hands of the eldest lady, so it is impossible for him to truly surrender. Only Chunhua is single, has no relatives, and her indenture contract is in the hands of her grandmother, so she is not afraid of Xu at all.

Although this kind of person is not loyal, she can be used to deal with the ladies in the future, and thrown away if she is not useful enough.

As for now, she threw down the silver hook and said coldly: "Tomorrow, I will go to Horyuji Temple to burn incense and pray for my mother."

In her previous life, Lin Yuanyue saved the only daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo here. From then on, she entered the social circle of noble ladies, became famous in Kyoto, and became a famous talented woman.

What if this person turns out to be her?
