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

Lin Hewen, who was already angry because of Lin Zhaoyu, became even angrier after hearing this: "What do you mean?"

"I want Yue'er to go to the banquet at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion on behalf of Lin Xi." Xu turned her head and looked at Lin Hewen in confusion.

Lin Hewen sneered, "They invited Lin Xi, not Yue'er. How are you going to explain this to the Zhenguo Mansion?"

"They just said that Lin Xi was ill and couldn't go." Xu felt that Lin Hewen was acting strange today, so she asked with concern, "Master, are you ill today?"

He shook his head at this idea: "This method won't work. Don't mention this matter again."

"Today, Zhao Yu was also locked up in the ancestral hall by me according to the family rules."

"What?" Xu stood up and asked anxiously, "Master, how can you use family rules on Zhaoyu? He is weak, how can he bear it?"

When Lin Hewen heard this, he thought of Lin Zhaoyu's useless appearance today, and he was so angry that he asked, "Do you want a son who is uneducated? Today, Zhao Xuejiu caught him cheating in his homework, and he can't even beat Ming Ge. Does he still want to take the imperial examination in the future?"

Hearing his tone, Xu thought that something happened in the private school that she didn't know about. She sat upright in her seat, calmed down all of a sudden, and said with slightly red eyes: "Master, you also know that I almost died when I gave birth to Zhaoyu. Are you blaming me for not teaching him well now?"

"It's my fault. I will accept the punishment now."

Xu's charm was still there, and this cry made Lin Hewen soften his heart again, "That's not what I meant. Zhaoyu can use tricks, but he must not be exposed like today."

When Xu heard this, her heart trembled and she nodded.

"As for the post from the Zhenguo Mansion, I'd better give it to Lin Xi."

Mrs. Xu thought she had heard wrongly. She looked at Lin Hewen and immediately sobbed, "Master, have you softened your heart? Yue'er is your daughter!"

Lin Hewen's eyes turned cold instantly, and he mercilessly shook off the hand that was holding hers, "Shut up, Lin Xi is also my daughter. Just do as I say in this matter."

Xu was completely stunned. She didn't expect that Lin Hewen had really changed.

She looked at Lin Hewen and confirmed again and again in her heart that Ke Xin had gradually fallen to the bottom.

No, she must do something for Lin Yuanyue.

Lin Yuanyue, who originally came to deliver soup, heard the conversation inside, her pupils shrank slightly, and she pursed her lips.

She must enter the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

······

Lin Xi went out early in the morning. The nanny said that she had picked out a few maids with clean backgrounds for her and asked her to find a day to go out and take a look.

With the Lin Zhaoyu incident, they won't focus on me for the time being.

In order to conceal their tracks, they went to Baolong Street first. As soon as they arrived there, the strong scent of cosmetics hit them in the face.

When Aunt Xu heard Lin Xi cough a few times, she asked, "Miss, we'll be there a little further."

"Okay." Lin Xi nodded, lifted the car curtain and looked outside, then said, "Don't go directly yet, let's go to the jewelry store to have a look."

"Yes."

Nanny Xu was quick and agile, and soon arrived at the largest jewelry store in Kyoto.

There was a lot of traffic outside the shop. With a servant leading the way, they got off the carriage from the side door and walked in.

Lin Xi had not originally intended to pick out jewelry, but after taking a look, she thought that Lin Yueru certainly didn't have anything decent, and the servants under her were always flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak, so they would naturally treat people differently based on their status.

She asked the servant to take her to the private room and selected several pieces of jewelry for the child.

There was hot tea on the table, the air was filled with tea aroma, the room was elegantly decorated, and there was a small compartment for changing clothes.

Lin Xi originally wanted to choose a style from another book and make two pieces for Yueru, but he felt inexplicably nervous as he kept smelling a bloody smell that did not belong in this room.

She didn't mean to be so sensitive, but a broken piece of porcelain was pressed against her neck, and a familiar voice sounded in her ears: "Long time no see, Miss Lin."

Chen Xun had walked to Lin Xi's side without her knowing, and followed her gaze to look at the golden hairpin with peach and taotie patterns in her hand.

He was wearing jet-black clothes, had a tall stature, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

She hadn't been out for a long time, and she didn't expect to meet Chen Xun as soon as she went out. He was injured and was hiding someone in this house.

The smell of blood surged to her nose. Lin Xi knew that he was losing too much blood. If he continued like this, his life would be in danger. But he was suspicious by nature. If she said something wrong again, he would definitely test her again. She opened her mouth slightly and said, "Master Chen, I have hemostatic medicine on my waist."

"What?" Chen Xun pursed his lips slightly, his eyes full of interest: "Don't call me Third Uncle anymore?"

She said this, but the dagger did not leave her at all, and the aura on him became even more dangerous.

"I don't mean anything else, Lord Chen. If you die here now, I will also be a suspect. I don't want to cause trouble for myself." After Lin Xi said this, there was no movement behind her for a long time.

Aunt Xu outside the room noticed something unusual and knocked on the door: "Miss, are you leaving?"

"I'm still watching. I'll wait a moment." Lin Xi tried her best to adjust her breathing so that her voice would not give her away.

Chen Xun curled his lips slightly, withdrew his hand, took the small bag from her waist, took out the medicine inside, and then tore open his clothes and sprinkled it on the injured area.

His nostrils were filled with the strong smell of rust and the soft fragrance of a young girl.

Perhaps it was because the girl's fragrance was too strong that he found it difficult to ignore.

For so many years, there was no one in his backyard and he didn't like women, but today he was injured so badly that he couldn't avoid the beauty in front of him.

Chen Xun's eyes dimmed, which was really interesting.

Lin Xi didn't expect that he could pour the medicine directly on his wound. He couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling. He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't have any painkillers here. You can only bear it like this."

"It doesn't matter what, as long as I'm alive." Chen Xun tore off the corner of his clothes with great effort, trying to bandage the wound on his shoulder, but he had no strength. As soon as his hand dropped, a pair of delicate and fair hands took it from him.

"Wait a minute." Lin Xi bandaged his shoulder and stopped.

If she wanted to survive, she would do the same.

Lin Xi didn't know what he was going through. Mr. Chen San, who was respected in public, was actually injured so badly here.

The two looked at each other and said nothing tacitly, and the room fell silent.

The conversation in the private room next door came in.

"You said that the girl from the Lin family who came back from Yecheng actually flirted with Mr. Chen at the banquet at Chen's mansion?" The woman's voice was deliberately exaggerated.

"Yes, think about it, Master Chen is quite famous in Kyoto, and he is handsome. It's not strange for a country girl from Yecheng to look at Master Chen, but who knew she could do something to seduce people in public."

"Didn't she save the Zhenguo family?"

"What? It was her second daughter who saved him. She deliberately took the credit for herself."

······

Lin Xi didn't expect to hear these words after leaving the house.

It seems that they not only want to control her marriage, but also want her reputation to become bad.

Since they used this method, she might as well give them a taste of their own medicine.
