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

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

As soon as Liu Yun's father arrived at the door of the gambling house, someone came out to greet him. The gambling house servant said to him, "Sir, please come in quickly. It's you, Mr. Cha, who's inside."

Father Liuyun just said this casually because he was refuted by Aunt Shuang and he was looking at the eyes of people coming and going around him. He didn't intend to really go in. After all, he only had ten cents on him.

If I use this money to gamble and lose, I won’t even have food to eat tonight.

He was thinking in his mind, but the waiter of the gambling house was still waiting beside him. If he didn't go in now, he would really lose face.

Holding on forcing himself to walk, Liuyun's father walked quickly and walked into the door without any hesitation.

As soon as he entered the casino, he just stood outside and didn't dare to place a bet, but the more he watched, the more fascinated he became. He even took out the only ten cents in his pocket and put it on the table.

"big big big!"

Liuyun's father looked at the dealer's sieve on the table with red eyes.

The dealer quickly revealed the answer, it was indeed big. When he saw that it was really big, he knew that his luck today would be good, and immediately put all his money on big again.

After repeating this several times, he felt as if his body had become light and he didn't know where to go. It seemed as if the troubles caused by others no longer existed.

Money, he actually won so much money today.

Liuyun's father originally wanted to stop after winning ten taels of silver, but now he already had nine taels in his hand. He weighed it in his hand, and when he saw the next bet, he looked hesitant.

The dealer then asked, "Sir, do you still want to place a bet?"

Liuyun's father, his eyes flickering, said: "This..."

"If you don't want to bet, leave now!"

"Don't just sit there and do nothing. I think this location has good feng shui. Go away and give me the place."

The people around started to make a noise.

Even the dealer started to say, "How about we make a big bet this round? Everyone bets all the money they have. If you win, the money for this round will be doubled."

Hearing that the money would be doubled this time, Liu Yun's father didn't hesitate at all and put the money on the table directly, "I'll bet big."

Yes, just bet big, he will definitely win, he will definitely win.

Liuyun's father was so nervous that his palms were covered in sweat, but his eyes were fixed on Zhuang Jia's nimble hands, which were so nimble that no one could see clearly how she was using them.

The dealer revealed the answer and smiled: "Sorry, this time it's small."

Those who bet on small amounts were naturally delighted, but Liuyun's father did not expect that he would actually lose the nine taels of silver he had just received.

How can it be?

how come?

His face was gray. Shouldn't his luck be good? How could he lose?

The dealer asked him again, "Do you want to gamble again?"

"bet!"

······

Nanny Xu followed Lin Xi back to the Lin Residence in silence. When they were in the courtyard, she asked, "Young lady, have you really turned over her? Even this old servant can see that the young lady's death was closely related to her. How could the young lady be so soft-hearted?"

Lin Xi shook her head and looked at Aunt Xu calmly, "No, everyone has retribution. Since she owes her mother, someone will naturally take care of her. Why should I do anything?"

Hearing this, there was still some resentment on Aunt Xu's face.

She also looked up at the sky helplessly. Would God really punish her? If there was a retribution, why would he let her live so many more years?

"After thinking about it, there is always a trouble in this family." Lin Xi spoke, thinking of Lin Min, "Let Lin Min move out! As for Yueru, she should stay in my yard, and you can take care of her yourself, Madam Xu."

Madam Xu nodded in agreement and said, "I will take good care of the Third Miss."

Lin Yueru's status in this family is not as high as Lin Min's, and no one cares about her, except Lin Min.

"Miss Third, you are also a miserable person!" Madam Xu couldn't help but speak.

"Don't say things like that in front of her. Yueru is still young and there are many things you can teach her. You shouldn't just say these things and let her learn to blame others!" Lin Xi said lightly.

She would always find ways to help Lin Min and Yueru find a good future.

As for Xu, with Lin Hewen's approval, she took back the housekeeper power from Lin Xiu. However, the old people around her were replaced by Lin Xiu's people, and they were still a little unfamiliar with them.

But she didn't care. After all, she now had to deal with those people from the second house who were causing trouble.

"Brother-in-law, you've been very noisy these days." Xu sat in the yard of the second room without raising her head. She slowly picked up a cup of tea but didn't drink it.

The second wife did not expect that Xu would come to her courtyard in person. She could not hide the expression on her face. She just lowered her head and asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

When Xu saw Xun Shan'er following the second wife, she was so scared that she fell to her knees before she could say anything, with tears rolling down her eyes. She looked so pitiful.

"This girl is very pretty and has served others before." Mrs. Xu's words hit the nail on the head.

She hated the people from the second house. They always appeared suddenly and then disappeared when the Lin Mansion needed help the most.

Xun Shan'er's face turned pale instantly. She didn't expect that the fact that she had served others in the past could be found out by her. But now she could only stand here with her head held high.

Before she could think of how to defend herself, the second wife stood up and explained, "She is from a poor family and was just sold before."

"So now, brother-in-law, do you want to buy her to the Lin Mansion? Well, selling her to the Lin Mansion to be a maid is better than not having enough food to eat outside." Xu said mercilessly.

Xun Shan'er didn't expect that she would suddenly become a maid from a young lady.

The second wife didn't expect that Xu would speak like this as soon as she arrived. She wanted to say something, but she saw Xu wave her hand. She turned to Xun Shan'er and said softly, "Miss Xun, not everyone can enter the Lin Mansion. If your mother saved the second master, the Lin Mansion will also recognize this life-saving grace."

She paused here deliberately.

A glimmer of hope rose in Xun Shan'er's heart again.

Unexpectedly, after a while, Xu continued, "But if you want to be a lady, don't blame me for not agreeing."

"The young lady is a legitimate master, but if you have a clean family background and are a decent person, and you have just a little advantage, then I will accept you on behalf of the Lin family." Xu's voice was light, but she no longer had the confidence to be rejected.

Xun Shan'er lowered her head. She knew her entire life story, and she was afraid that everyone in the Lin family knew it.

She wanted to become a lady of the Lin family now, but it was probably impossible.

"Sister-in-law, how can you talk like that?" The second wife couldn't help but speak up to defend Xun Shan'er.

Xu sneered, then turned around and questioned, "Brother-in-law, since you insist on letting her marry in as a lady, why did you bring people all the way to the Lin Mansion? Wouldn't it be faster to go directly to the old family to find the elders?"

How could she not see the little calculation in his mind? The elders of the clan would not agree to let an unknown person enter the Lin family's ancestral hall, except Lin Xi.

Therefore, he could only go to the Lin Mansion first and force the old lady to agree before he could convince Lin Hewen.

As long as the two of them agree, the elders will definitely give him some consideration, and this matter will have a chance of success.

What's more, his second branch already has Lin Min. If Lin Min can really pass the autumn examination, he will probably become the biggest obstacle for Lin Zhaoyu to become the head of the family in the future.

"Also, you disappeared inexplicably that year, but the Lin family was at the center of the storm. How could your brother-in-law have the nerve to do that? As soon as he returned home, he made the old lady sick with anger. The brothers were at odds, and the father and son were alienated!"

What Xu said were all heart-piercing words, but she knew from the first time she met the second wife that they were the same kind of people, the kind without conscience. These words would only make him feel ashamed for a while, but would not shake his mind.

"Have you ever thought about this? If she really becomes a proper lady of the Lin family, it is still unclear whether your biological children will recognize you or not!"

"Could it be that she will support you when you are old? Lin Min is a good candidate with a bright future. Don't let your dirty deeds affect his future."

Xu concluded that he had not seen Lin Min for such a long time since he returned home, so naturally he did not know that this child actually had a promising future in studying.

In fact, the Second House has been secretly comparing itself with Lin Hewen, but in terms of official career, it is indeed not as good as Lin Hewen. He is extremely helpless, but there is nothing he can do.

Now that we know that Lin Min has the potential to become a high-ranking official in the future, I’m afraid everything will give way to this.

When the second wife heard this, a look of hesitation appeared on her face for the first time.

Xu knew that he had achieved his goal, but interests would always separate people's hearts.

"As for Xun Shan'er." This time, Xu called her by her full name.

Xun Shan'er didn't notice the change in Erfang's expression, and still regarded him as her support. She nodded blankly and agreed: "Yes."

Xu shook her head. Such a person actually made things difficult for the old lady and Lin Hewen?

"If you want to enter the Lin Mansion, no problem." Xu put down the cup in her hand and looked at her steadily.

This gaze made Xun Shan'er feel very pressured, but she couldn't say anything. She gritted her teeth and waited for Xu's next words.

"But you can only be a slave in the affiliated middle school. If you are willing, you can sign this indenture and stay in the Lin Mansion forever." This time, Xu wanted to completely cut off Xun Shaner's unfounded ideas.

Now that seems like a good thing.

Become a slave?

Xun Shan'er didn't expect this to happen. She quickly looked towards the second house for help. If she became a slave, how could she have a chance to become a lady? She didn't come to the capital to become a slave.

Xu watched all of this calmly. She had long experienced the ruthlessness and determination of men, and naturally knew that the second wife would definitely abandon Xun Shan'er for her own benefit.

Xun Shan'er didn't expect that the second wife would ignore her gaze.

And Xu also issued a final ultimatum.

"If Miss Xun is unwilling, I will naturally give her some silver as travel expenses so that you can return home smoothly." Xu's words were very decisive, leaving Xun Shan'er no room for thought.

The nanny beside her also placed the indenture contract in front of Xun Shan'er.

Xun Shan'er thought about it over and over again, and all her fear was shown on her face. If she really went home, would she be sold again?

Here, at least there is the second room to protect myself.

But the second wife now ignored her completely, and she didn't want to sign this indenture contract.

Seeing Xun Shan'er's hesitation, Xu knew that she had to give it another push, so she asked the second wife, "Brother-in-law, what do you think?"

The second wife was thinking that her son was very good at studying. If he really made Xun Shan'er a real daughter, would Lin Min hate him as a father?

However, he was hesitant about letting Xun Shan'er come to his house to be a servant.

"Shan'er, you are not in good health and are not suitable to be a servant." The second wife spoke up for her.

Xu nodded and continued his words, saying, "Since Miss Xun is not in good health, why don't you go home directly? Leave tonight. I will send someone to escort you to the post station. This is also for Miss Xun's health."

After these few consecutive sentences, Xun Shan'er was already dizzy and she couldn't tell east from west.

But there was one thing she was very clear about in her heart, and that was that she didn't want to go back.

If I go back, the prosperity of Kyoto will really have nothing to do with me at all.

When she thought of this, the hesitation in her heart grew stronger.

"Okay, I understand what Miss Xun means. Then Miss Xun, please pack your things tonight!" Xu made a gesture to get up.

Xun Shan'er quickly said, "I signed it."

"That's the best." Xu signaled with her eyes to the nanny standing next to Xun Shan'er, asking her to sign the contract to sell her body.

"The maids and servants in the mansion will be paid twenty taels of silver if they sell themselves to the Lin Mansion. Someone will be sent to marry you later. As for who you want to marry, it's up to you." Xu said this lightly, and took Xun Shan'er's indenture contract to report to Lin Hewen and the old lady.

Xu handled this matter very well.

Even when Lin Xi knew about this, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

Chunhua was startled and said, "That troublesome Miss Xun is now a slave. Isn't her status the same as ours?"

Aunt Xu also didn't expect that Xu actually had such a good method, "I'm afraid that the old lady and the master are now going to value the lady again."

"Does it matter whether she values ​​it or not?" Lin Xi continued, "She took the housekeeping power from her aunt, and her aunt is not a forgiving person. The two of them are still making trouble."

Lin Xiu had never expected that the housekeeper power she had just gained would be taken away by Xu. She got very angry in the house, but she handled the matter of Xun Shan'er very well.

What made her even more angry was that Lin Xi, who was just watching the fire from the other side of the river, didn't get involved in any attack. Her current status was no longer the same as before, and she couldn't act like an elder and lose her temper in front of Lin Xi.

Now in front of her, I can still keep my tail between my legs, flatter and coax her, and can't offend her at all.

For a moment, I was filled with a myriad of thoughts, and I was truly jealous in my heart. But what could I do even if I was jealous? I had to just endure it.
