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

Aunt Xu slapped her in the face. Shuang Gu took the slap obediently and knelt on the ground with a plop. "You're lying."

After being slapped in the face, Shuang Gu immediately turned red. She knelt on the ground, motionless, "Madame Xu, I..."

She wanted to say something, but when she saw Aunt Xu's resentful look, she couldn't say anything.

Lin Xi didn't expect that when she went out just to find out who was behind her, she would accidentally find someone who used to be with her mother.

She spoke up to stop Aunt Xu, who was about to hit someone, and said softly, "Mother's matter has not been explained clearly yet. Why hit her now? It won't bring mother back to life."

When Aunt Xu heard this, she regained her senses instantly, stood up, ignored her, and asked, "Back then, it was the young lady who took pity on you and brought you from your home to the Lin Mansion, gave you food and clothes, and taught you to read and write. You can't have forgotten all of this, right?"

"How is it possible? How could I forget these things? Madam is such a kind person. She never acts like a master to us servants. I have never forgotten Madam's kindness until now."

"Then why did you suddenly disappear?" Aunt Xu stepped forward again to interrogate her. She grabbed her arm and pulled her, saying, "Did you really join forces with outsiders to deal with the young lady?"

When she thought of the young lady being isolated and helpless in the Lin Mansion, Aunt Xu felt heartbroken. How could she have been so stupid back then to listen to the young lady and really go back to Yecheng, which delayed her journey for more than half a month, and she faced an irreversible situation when she returned.

"At that time, all the people around the Madam who knew about the incident were driven out. I went to look for them, but couldn't find anyone. Where did you go?" asked Aunt Xu.

Seeing this, Aunt Shuang had no choice but to lower her head and say, "I, I."

Before she could finish, Lin Xi showed her impatience, "Madame Xu, it doesn't matter if she doesn't want to talk about it. Just let Jiang Zhong come in and find a way to make her talk about it."

Madam Xu nodded and walked out angrily.

Aunt Shuang saw that Lin Xi was not the kind of person who would be soft-hearted, so she rolled over and crawled to hug Aunt Xu's legs, "I say, I say, Aunt Xu, don't go out, don't go out."

She was frightened of the ferocious man just now.

This was even more the case now. She had wanted to be more tactful, but as soon as she glanced at him, Lin Xi knew what she was thinking and said, "Madam Xu, don't worry about her. Just call Jiang Zhong in and let her talk honestly."

Lin Xi looked at Shuang Gu who was kneeling on the ground with a terrified expression, and couldn't help feeling sarcastic. She knew what kind of person her mother was. She always treated everyone around her very well. This person was someone her mother rescued, but he was still like this.

I can only say that my mother really made a mistake.

She doesn't deserve her mother's kindness to her, nor does she deserve any patience from her.

Aunt Xu was nimble and agile. When she walked back, Jiang Zhong followed behind her. He walked straight to Shuang Gu, picked her up, and walked into the small dark room behind him.

Hearing the screams of the people in the house, Jiang Zhong came out not long after, with blood still on his hands.

"Miss Lin, you can come in now."

Lin Xi walked in expressionlessly. The small room was filled with torture instruments. There was no light anywhere, and the air was filled with a damp smell. She covered her nose with a handkerchief and asked softly:

"Now, can we talk?"

There were no obvious wounds on Shuang Gu's body, but she was lying on the ground, unable to move. Seeing Lin Xi coming in, she quickly said, "I'll tell you everything. I've got everything."

"Back then, when I was serving the Madam, someone secretly gave me money and asked me to put a pot of flowers next to the Madam." Shuang Gu cried, "I didn't want to do it, but my old mother was sick, and I was short of money, and it was difficult to tell the Madam. The person told me that a pot of flowers in the Madam's room should be nothing."

"Nothing." Aunt Xu was so angry that she couldn't stand up. She could only lean on the wall with her hands and asked, "Do you feel guilty when you say these things?"

"I'm still here, and you're lying to the young lady. Where did your old mother come from? When the young lady brought you into the mansion, you had already severed ties with your family."

When Shuang Gu heard these words, she was so ashamed that she couldn't even raise her face. "It's true that the young lady saved me at the beginning, but I haven't been a slave by her side for so many years. I just consider it as repaying her kindness."

"What's more, I helped others to harm the young lady. After I left the Lin Mansion, I also suffered retribution. Now I have fallen into this state. Aunt Xu, how can you only see your young lady and not me?"

Aunt Shuang said while crying.

"So, you're going to sell Liuyun to the palace?" Lin Xi asked.

Aunt Shuang then spoke up, "Liu Yun is just a little girl. What's the use of a little girl? Sell her off. She must be living a better life in the palace than outside..." She suddenly realized, raised her head and looked at Lin Xi and said, "How do you know Liu Yun?"

Nanny Xu stepped forward and slapped her again, but this slap was of no use in venting the tremendous hatred in her heart. How could she help such an ungrateful person?

"It seems that you have completely forgotten that before you came to the Lin Mansion, you were almost bought to Qinlou by your father. The young lady passed by and helped you, and even sold your indenture. The young lady gave you freedom, but it was you who insisted on following the young lady into the Lin Mansion."

"The young lady took pity on your life and allowed you to stay and eat in the Lin Mansion. You only had to do some cleaning work on weekdays. Since you didn't want to do it, the young lady asked you to grow flowers, but what about you? You killed the flowers that the young lady cared about the most, and the young lady didn't punish you at all. You actually said that working for the young lady was a way to repay the young lady's kindness?"

"If it weren't for the young lady, you would have died somewhere long ago."

"Miss, I found a marriage for you, but you didn't want to because you thought the man was of low social status. But a servant like me can find a man who has passed the imperial examination. This marriage was also chosen by Miss after careful selection."

Seeing her confused look, Aunt Xu continued, "You should still remember Caihua who was with you. She wanted the marriage you didn't want, and now she is the wife of the county magistrate."

what?

Frost Girl's world collapsed at this moment.

Originally, she should have been the wife of the county magistrate.

She remembered it because she was with the lady at the time, and she always felt that she should marry a high-ranking official like the lady, so the lady made up her mind to find a poor scholar who had just come to Beijing to take the imperial examination.

She despised the scholar for his poverty and thought his wife didn't care about him. And then someone happened to come to her at that time, so she agreed.

Now she is full of regret.

Why don’t you want such a good marriage?

Why was I so blind and blind at that time?

"My mother is a soft-hearted person, but I am not. I remember that your indenture is still in the dowry list of my mother. It was not given to you!" Lin Xi continued calmly, "You should know what the fate of a runaway slave is."

Aunt Shuang spoke quietly, "Back then, the person who asked me to put flowers in Madam's room was related to the Master."

Madam Xu couldn't help but frown, as if she had thought of something. She knelt in front of Lin Xi and said with a sad face, "If this is true, it is still my fault. Back then, when Xu appeared beside the master, I noticed something was wrong, but the young lady was not in good health, so I didn't dare to tell her about it. Otherwise, I could have taken precautions and the young lady would not have died from then on."

Lin Xi looked at Aunt Xu, "Someone wants to harm you. You can't prevent it. Do you have any evidence left?"

Lin Xi would not believe that someone like her would not leave any evidence at all, so he just looked at her indifferently.

Frost gradually became clear. Her life was very bad now, but she didn't want to die. Her life contract was in her hands. If she handed it over to the government, she would be dead. "Yes, I communicated with that person through a jade pendant. I kept it and didn't let the old man know."

She was being careful. After all, by doing this, if something happened in the future, it might save her life. She didn't expect that the current situation would actually be like this.

She was so glad in her heart that she had kept this thought in mind.

"But you have to give me my indenture." Shuang Gu said shamelessly.

"Okay." Lin Xi agreed without hesitation.

"It's just that Nanny Xu will have to give you the indenture contract later." Lin Xi said, "As for now, you don't need to give me the jade pendant. I just want to know one thing."

Lin Xi dismissed everyone, stared at her closely, and asked, "Did anyone else appear around my mother back then?"

When Shuang Gu heard this, she frowned, then her eyes lit up immediately and she said, "Madam, it seems like she was communicating with someone before, but we didn't know about it. I accidentally saw her crying with a letter in her hand."

"But I went to the concierge that day to ask, and no one had sent a letter to Madam, and I didn't know who wrote it. Later, I secretly observed that when there was an extra letter beside Madam's bedside for no reason, it was in the middle of the month, and Madam would not let us serve in the room."

"Since you found out about this, why didn't you tell the master?" Lin Xi questioned.

Aunt Shuang shook her head. "How could I possibly tell the master about this, when there is no source and no evidence? Moreover, the master is more afraid of the lady than anyone else. Others may not be able to see it, but how could I not see it? It is from the bottom of my heart that I feel fear and respect. If I rashly tell the master, I will be the one to die."

When Shuang Gu said this, she seemed to be back to her youth when she was a maid in the Lin Mansion. This was also the happiest time of her life. She sighed, "Back then, I didn't mean to harm Madam. I didn't know that the basin would kill Madam. And I escaped because someone poisoned me."

"Destroy the evidence." Lin Xi smiled.

"Oh, right, I think I discovered something back then." Aunt Shuang seemed to have thought of something, and her expression became serious. "I remember that after Madam gave birth to Miss, a woman of noble status came to the Lin residence and had a big quarrel with Madam. The woman slammed the door and left, and Madam cried for several days because of this."

Lin Xi folded his hands on his knees, and the guess in his mind suddenly made sense.

Since someone could communicate with her mother without anyone noticing, he must be a very powerful person, and this person might be her biological father. Her mother brought her to marry Lin Hewen, and she must have reached some kind of agreement with Lin Hewen, which made him willing to be cuckolded and let her be born under the name of the Lin family.

Old Madam Lin, Lin Hewen, and Mrs. Xu should all be insiders.

But who is her biological father that prevents her mother from being with him?

There are not many people who are sensitive about their identity.

It only takes a little exclusion to find that there are not many people in Dayan, and there is another possibility, that is, foreigners.

I'm afraid my grandfather also knows about this.

"You, should know more than this. The person who asked you to poison your mother was Xu, right?"

Frost Girl didn't expect that she already knew it, and raised her head in surprise: "You, how did you know?"

"Forget it, the matter has passed. Since you have been on the run for so many years, as long as you don't appear in front of me in the future, I won't bother you." Lin Xi said lightly.

When Shuang Gu heard that Lin Xi was willing to let her go, she kowtowed quickly and said, "Thank you very much, thank you very much."

"I will also have Madam Xu deliver your indenture to you."

Lin Xi stood up and walked out.

Now she knew all the major cases she wanted to know about. The next step was to find her biological father.

Shuang Gu never thought that she would meet the person from that year, and she told all the secrets in her heart.

In fact, there was a secret that she did not tell. She knew that the potted plant was poisonous. It was oleander. Pregnant women after childbirth who stayed around oleander for a long time would be poisoned, and their bodies would become more and more deficient.

She was unhappy back then because her lady found a scholar as her husband.

Want to take revenge on Madam.

But after so many years, she finally got her comeuppance by marrying such a bad man.

When she thought that the scholar who had been devoted to her back then was now the county magistrate, the position of the county magistrate's wife should have been hers. Why did her life end up like this?

Liu Yun's father felt unlucky after encountering this incident. He looked at Shuang Gu who was in a trance and started to scold her: "What did that person say to you just now?"

Aunt Shuang shook her head: "She is the master serving in Liuyun Palace. She only asked about Liuyun's matter and didn't ask anything else."

When Liuyun's father heard this, he immediately became anxious, "What's going on? I told you not to talk nonsense just now."

He always felt that he was unlucky. When he reached the entrance of the casino, he stopped and was about to go in. Aunt Shuang quickly stopped him and said, "Boss, there is no money at home."

"What do you mean no money?" Liuyun's father immediately shook off her hand and walked inside.

There were so many people around, she was just trying to embarrass herself on purpose.
