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

In the evening, because Lu came to cancel the engagement, the entire Xie family began to unite against a common enemy, and everyone began to unite against the outside world. Although they had conflicts within the family, they did not necessarily allow outsiders to bully the girls of the Xie family.

Second Miss Xie has been weak since she was young, and she never expected that she would say something against the Lu family today.

However, even if we talked about it today, the Lu family would still come to my house and cancel the engagement. This is unacceptable. Now that we have encountered such a situation, there are many things that we cannot continue to talk about.

Lin Xi knew that now was not the time to thoroughly investigate his grandfather's affairs.

Seeing that she was not in a hurry at all, Liuyun could not help but ask, "Miss, why are you not in a hurry now? What about this matter?"

After all, she was thinking, if the matter of breaking off the engagement came to light at this time, how would the girls of the Xie family live in the future?

Now that it has come to this, the matter, after all, has come to this point.

"Now, we can't talk about this anymore. This matter can only be left like this."

"What's that?"

Liuyun asked in confusion.

Lin Xi continued, "When you think about this, many people didn't expect this to happen. But given the current situation, it's wrong for the Lu family to come and cancel the engagement. They were the ones who took the initiative to ask for marriage, and the girl from the Xie family didn't do anything wrong. They're adding insult to injury at this time. I'm afraid others will have something to say about it."

"It is precisely because of this that they dare not come to our house openly."

After hearing what Lin Xi said, Liuyun also understood.

Chunhua hurried in from outside, looking anxious. She looked at Lin Xi and said, "Miss, something happened outside. Someone came to our house and said that he had an IOU from the Xie family."

Liu Yun couldn't help but complain, saying, "Why, the Xie family has so many problems all of a sudden, it's like someone is deliberately targeting them from behind."

Liuyun couldn't help but speak out her true feelings. She didn't expect that she would say it like this. But now everyone knows about it. However, she couldn't let others know about it at this time.

"I'm sorry, Miss. I said the wrong thing."

Liuyun glanced at Lin Xi's expression, then lowered his head and stopped talking.

When Lin Xi heard this, she asked Chunhua to bring her coat. She changed her clothes again and prepared to go out quietly. What was going on? Such a thing had never happened in the Xie Mansion before, but it happened now. It seemed that someone was targeting her deliberately behind her back.

"What you said may not be wrong, but now we need to catch the people behind this and find out who wants to stop the bleeding and kill you."

Lin Xi's eyes sparkled in the darkness. The more she encountered such things, the more she could calm down and know what she wanted to do next.

She didn't take action immediately, but wanted to wait until the people behind the scenes thought that Cheng Ai had fallen in love and no one could solve the problem before taking action.

Now, someone chose to come to the house to ask for money at this time. They must be sure that the Xie family has no money left, so they came to cause trouble.

As soon as Lin Xi went out, he saw that everyone outside was gathered together, arguing with the group of people at the door. When those people saw the people from Xie Mansion, they were even more reluctant to leave.

In her heart, many people want to stay here, and it is a good thing to get the money. Now that they have not received the money, how can they leave willingly?

"You are a dignified Xie family, a huge mansion, can't you even come up with this little money?"

"We are ordinary people. We can't even afford this little money. How dare you say these things?"

"Take out the money quickly, take out the money quickly."

A group of people surrounded Xie's house, making it impossible to get in or out.

Even the people around came out to watch the excitement. The once respected Xie Mansion no longer existed. Everyone was watching the excitement in the Xie Mansion. Everyone was jealous of the former power of the Xie Mansion, but now that it had lost power, no one would have thought that the people of the Xie Mansion had also trained many students for Yecheng for free.

Lin Xi looked at the group of troublemakers coldly. With just one glance, she realized that this group of people were deliberately recruited by someone to come to Xie Mansion to cause trouble. They were not good people at all.

It is even unclear whether the Xie family owes money. How could they appear here openly and cause trouble?

However, no one from the county government showed up here. What was going on?

From the perspective of the small-time heroine and the big-time hero, the novel describes two different types of people who face crises together when faced with the turbulence of the times. It is also a group portrait, showing the wonderful aspects of different characters in their lives.

Someone died in Nishimura again.

It was noon, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and when looking inside the village from outside, there was a layer of mist.

A carriage stopped at the entrance of the village. The coachman tilted his head, his expression gloomy and as if he had something to hide, and asked the person inside, "Girl, are you sure this is the place?"

It was strange for a young girl to come to a place where people were dying one after another.

After saying this, the young girl in the carriage got off. She was holding the box in her hand and nodded and said, "Yes."

The groom raised his head and saw a petite girl with bright eyes and white teeth. She was wearing a blue long coat and a crabapple flower pinned on her temples. She exuded a simple elegance, but the determination in her eyes made people unable to look away.

The groom pointed at the intersection and said, "This place is weird, girl, what can you do here?"

A gloomy wind blew from the West Village, and a faint fragrance wafted out from the box in her hand.

The groom had never smelled such a smell before, and was even a little addicted to it. His eyes unconsciously looked towards the box again and again.

"Rescue."

The groom just thought she was joking. Since ancient times, there has never been such a young girl saving people. He didn't take her words to heart at all.

Xie Ruan raised his eyes, his eyes were heavy, and he took out a few more strings of copper coins from the silver bag and said, "Thank you. Please help me find a way to the Song family."

The groom was stunned, his hands paused, his eyes widened, wondering if he had heard wrongly, and asked in disbelief: "Girl, you said...the Song family?"

"Ah."

The groom's hand trembled as he took the copper coin, and the coin immediately rolled to the ground. He stepped back repeatedly, his face turning pale: "The Song family was wiped out three months ago. What are you doing in the Song family, girl?"

Xie Ruan looked at his expression, frowned slightly, and asked, "Destroy the whole family?"

"Mr. Song and his entire family died in a mysterious fire."

"Only Mr. Song's engaged youngest daughter survived, but she became insane and always spoke nonsense. The family that was engaged to her canceled the marriage. The villagers thought she was crazy and were worried about her. They wanted to send her to a charity institution, but they didn't expect Miss Song to disappear."

"That is, after the incident at the Song Mansion, two or three brides died in Xicun. These brides were all the same age as the eldest daughter of the Song family."

Xie Ruan's eyes were heavy: "Since the whole family was wiped out, then where is the murderer?"

The groom shook his head: "This is the government's business. What's more, some people say that Old Master Song doesn't want to live anymore and wants to take his family to die."

"The Song Mansion is weird. If what you want to do is not important, you'd better not go!"

"Thank you." Xie Ruan didn't say anything, carrying the box and heading into the small path of West Village.

The old master of the Song Mansion was once the prince's tutor, a first-rank official, and he himself was a great scholar. Now there are many of his students in the court. The surname Song is also a family surname in Suiyang County, with a high status. Later, because of the involvement of the deposed prince, although he moved to Xicun, His Majesty specially granted the title of Anbohou to the old master Song to appease the people.

Old Master Song once saved her life, so after receiving the letter from him, she hurried back from southern Xinjiang.

How could a person who wrote a book asking her to come back for treatment commit suicide?

The road to the Song Mansion was more difficult to navigate than she had imagined. What Xie Ruan did not expect was that there were Jinyiwei people standing at the gate of the Song Mansion. She paused, pursed her lips, and clenched her hands slightly.

The Jinyiwei had never imagined that a young girl would appear in such a gloomy place.

She is still a woman with good looks.

Xie Ruan felt several gazes, and he walked slowly and firmly. He glanced at the corpse on the ground with his almond-shaped eyes, and walked past calmly with a serious expression and his clothes fluttering in the wind.

"Stop. Who is it?"

The first person to speak was the Jinyiwei who had been staring at her.

"Your Excellency, I am here to investigate a case at the Song Residence." Xie Ruan happened to stop at the steps at the entrance of the Song Residence. Her thin body was as straight as a bamboo. She opened her red lips and said softly, "Save someone."

The Song Mansion is now in ruins, overgrown with weeds and no trace of its once prosperous population remains.

"Investigating a case?" The Jinyiwei's mouth twitched slightly, with mockery in his eyes.

"Yes, investigating the case."

The Jinyiwei looked her up and down. This girl had a fair complexion and didn't look like someone who would roll around among a pile of dead bodies, so how could she have the skills to perform an autopsy?

Relying on his good looks, he looked at them and tried to deceive them.

He shook his head. How could he be so brazen?

"Are you crazy? Are you here to make trouble? Go away! If you continue to interfere with our investigation, I will take you to jail."

Tell lies without even a good excuse.

The Jinyiwei couldn't help but roll his eyes and motioned the person next to him to go in.

Xie Ruan stood under the eaves, the sunlight cast a shadow under her long curly eyelashes, "I want to see Shen You."

"How dare you." The Jinyiwei drew the sword from his waist, the blade emitting a cold bluish-white light, "You can call the lord by his name."

He took a few steps towards Xie Ruan, his sword almost reaching her neck.

"My last name is Xie. Please pass me on."

The Jinyiwei looked at her, motionless under the hilt of the sword, with some surprise.

Xie is a common surname.

Moreover, she was so calm even when she addressed the master by his name. He was worried that someone who should not be offended had come. He said to her, "You just wait here. I will go in and report to the master first."

Not long after, the man asked her to come in.

The Song Mansion has become a ruin. When you step into the courtyard, you can still smell the smell of cigarette ash left by the fire a few months ago.

Xie Ruan looked at the corpse placed in the yard. There were bruises on the corners of his lips and forehead. His body was covered with a cloth, so the rest of his body could not be seen clearly. Then his eyes fell on the man in front of him.

He had a high nose bridge, sharp cheeks, and a red mole in the middle of his eyebrows, which made him look distant and aloof. His eyes were deep and sinister, making people dare not ignore him. He was wearing an indigo-colored shirt with thunder and cloud patterns. He looked at her and casually threw the handkerchief he was using to wipe his hands on the ground.

Xie Ruan could tell that the handkerchief was a piece of Shu brocade worth a fortune.

"You said, can you solve the case?" Shen You looked at her gloomily, rubbing the crystal clear ring with his right hand.

"Yes."

"lie."

Shen You lowered his eyes and looked at Xie Ruan in front of him, his expression was calm. He approached her step by step, and grasped her fair and slender neck with his broad hands. He said in a very calm voice: "In my case, lying will kill you."

Xie Ruan's eyes were solemn and she frowned as she said, "The deceased at the door was eighteen years old, a female. There were obvious marks on her neck behind her ears. She was strangled to death. The marks on her forehead and the corners of her mouth were caused by her struggle. Judging from the color of the body, she must have died yesterday afternoon. It should have been ten hours since then."

Shen You was surprised and blew down his eyelids. His bony fingers loosened slightly, giving her a chance to catch her breath.

"Sir, can you let me take a closer look? If I can't see anything, or if I'm lying, you can kill me."

Seeing that Shen You had no intention of giving in, Xie Ruan continued, "The silk that the deceased was wearing came from the Southern Silk Supply House, and there are not many households in the capital that can use it."

"After a brief elimination, the only ones left are Marquis Yanbo in the south of the city, Marquis Guanxi in the east of the city, and Marquis Zhenbei. Among these families, the only legitimate daughter of Marquis Zhenbei was the one who left last night."

Shen You stared at her and stopped what he was doing.

A faint cold wind blew in the courtyard, and even on a sunny day, it made people shiver.

But Shen You in front of him seemed to sneer, looking down at him, and his tone suddenly became cold: "Since when do cats and dogs have the qualifications to negotiate with me?"

"Although this case is not complicated, it involves the reputation of a woman." Xie Ruan looked up at him, trying to make her eyes meet his, "I am the best choice."

After a long silence, Shen You looked at her and turned his head to look at the box in her hand.

When the wind blows, the fragrance in the box spreads everywhere.

His eyes were heavy, and he curled his lips coldly towards her, and said slowly: "It's really interesting."

"Someone is coming."

"exist."

Shen You's most capable subordinate Qingsong appeared in front of them.

"Autopsy."

Shen You opened his thin lips slightly, his eyes cold.

Qingsong asked Xie Ruan, "Miss, do you need to prepare anything for the autopsy?"

Hearing this, Xie Ruan looked calm, his eyes fell deeply on the body on the ground, walked to the body, put down the box, and said softly: "No need."

Qingsong watched Xie Ruan open the box, which contained some autopsy tools that he was unfamiliar with.

He gave her a suspicious look.

The box in her hand was completely opened, and a long and lingering fragrance overflowed.

Even the Jinyiwei standing outside the courtyard could smell it.

The fragrance is very light, but it has an indescribable sense of enchantment.

Xie Ruan
