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

Xu was panicked and grabbed Lin Hewen next to her, "Master, I didn't, I really didn't."

When Wei Hong saw them quarreling, he just said: "This matter was done by the family members themselves. It is your family matter, so there is no need to ..."

Lin Xi stepped forward and said, "What is a family matter? Sir, if that is the case, then what about this store? Are the procedures for taking possession of treasures of unknown origin complete? Who is the person who handled it?"

"Father, this matter is definitely not that simple. The financial assets that mother secretly sold belong to the Lin family!"

Lin Heben knew nothing at all. Now he only heard these few words from Lin Xi and was only thinking about his money which was secretly taken away by Xu.

He stepped forward, grabbed Xu's chin tightly, and asked viciously: "Tell me, tell me everything about this matter. Did you swallow all the money? How much did you swallow?"

Lin Hewen was so angry that he attacked Xu in public and slapped her in the face.

Xu's whole body was shaking, and she was slapped on the ground with her back, unable to stand up. She looked at the man she had loved all her life in disbelief: "Master, you hit me?"

Seeing that the person who had been good to her all his life treated her like this, and suffering such humiliation in front of the servants, she really wanted to hang herself here.

Xu's tears flowed. Wasn't she doing this all for the Lin family? Why did Lin Hewen think she was doing this for herself?

Xu raised her head while crying, looked at Lin Hewen's increasingly cold face, and broke her nails on her palm.

No, this matter must not be told to anyone, she also has to protect the reputation of her two children.

Lin Xi looked at the two of them, and because of these internal conflicts, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and then turned to the hall master: "Since it has come to this at this time, the hall master has nothing to say?"

"And you slaves should confess honestly."

The hall master was really forced into no choice, so he walked straight to Lin Xi and said in a low voice: "Miss, let me talk to you for a moment."

"You say." Lin Xi followed him for a few steps and listened to him say:

"Miss, this item passed through the hands of the Ninth Prince. If you investigate further, you will definitely get nothing good. It is better to stop here!"

Seeing that the situation was gradually getting out of control, the hall master could only bring up the identity of the Ninth Prince in order to appease her. Did he really think she would be afraid?

Moreover, she was eager for him to reveal his identity as the Ninth Prince.

It's just that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he used the title of the Ninth Prince to threaten herself. If the Ninth Prince was involved, all hope of Xu would be gone.

Lin Xi, who was carrying someone on her back, suddenly laughed. Before the hall master could react, she stepped back repeatedly, looking terrified, and said in a suddenly raised voice: "I don't want it anymore. I don't want my mother's relics anymore. Please let me go, Ninth Prince."

The people who were originally watching at the entrance of the palace dispersed, and suddenly they heard the name of the Ninth Prince. How did this have anything to do with the royal family?

"Hurry, hurry, go and watch the fun. It's actually related to the royal family."

"What's going on? Let's go watch the fun together."

Shen Qingran hurriedly hugged Lin Xi, who was retreating repeatedly, fearing that she would fall. He said in a firm tone: "Even if he is the Ninth Prince, he definitely did not steal other people's property. This is against the law of the country."

Lin Xi leaned sideways on Shen Qingran's shoulder, afraid that the smile on her face would be seen by others, but she still pretended to be afraid and said, "The hall master just said that the Ninth Prince sold the things to someone else. I...I don't dare to take it."

The hall master was anxious. He didn't expect that she could actually say this in public. He pointed at her and said, "She is lying. I never said anything about the Ninth Prince."

"Since it has nothing to do with the Ninth Prince, why did you insist on talking to Lin Xi alone? Can you repeat what you just said?" Shen Qingran was very tough. He protected Lin Xi and did not give him a chance to interrupt.

Lin Xi shook her head and waved her hands. "Just now, he threatened me with the Ninth Prince and told me not to talk about this matter anymore. But why would the Ninth Prince want my mother's relics? He is a prince and he has everything he wants, so why would he want my mother's relics? If this matter cannot be investigated clearly, you are deliberately trying to damage the reputation of the prince, which is a capital crime."

The hall master's back was covered in cold sweat. He didn't expect that he had been completely fooled by this young lady. If he had known earlier, he would not have mentioned the reputation of the Ninth Prince. If he really investigated now, he would definitely find out something.

"Shut up, shut up." The hall master was furious and said directly to Wei Hong: "You can't investigate this matter. You can't investigate this matter."

Lin Xi turned around, looked straight at them, and said sharply: "Why can't we check? Master, why don't you tell everyone why we can't check?"

"I didn't say anything about the Ninth Prince. It was you who brought up the Ninth Prince and tried to frame me." The hall master said hurriedly, getting anxious.

She is so smart, it seems like she has planned every step.

If this matter is not investigated now and word gets out, it will implicate the Ninth Prince, and all kinds of unfounded rumors will probably emerge.

If the investigation is further conducted and it is really related to the Ninth Prince, he will be in big trouble.

But now, I feel like I am completely controlled by this young lady and I can't move forward.

Lin Xi turned the gun around again: "Master Wei, you wanted to seize the evidence against me just now. Are you trying to protect the murderer? If so, I can only take the evidence and go to Jingzhao Yin. My mother's dowry is my only wish. If these items are lost without any reason, I am unworthy of being a son and I am really unfilial."

Wei Hong was in a dilemma and could only close his eyes, sighed and said, "Come on, send someone to interrogate these people and find out the whole story."

After that, he stood up again, bowed to Lin Hewen and said, "Lord Lin is also an official in the court. I have to take your wife away for interrogation now. I'm sorry."

Lin Hewen hasn't reacted yet. Why did he bring up the Ninth Prince just now?

What does this have to do with the Ninth Prince?

Naturally, there would be receipts for every transaction. Wei Hong sent people to the jewelry shop to search and seized these receipts, which were signed with Xu's private seal. All the evidence was laid out in the court.

Xu couldn't deny it.

Lin Xi's face turned pale, and he looked at Xu with disappointment: "Mother, although you are my stepmother, what you sold privately were my mother's relics, which contained half of my father's. How could you sell them privately?"

"Yes, there is also a share for me, Xu, you actually took all my share for yourself. How much of the Lin family's property have you taken?" The only thing Lin Hewen could think of was that his money was taken by her.

I didn't expect that after sleeping in the same bed with her for so many years, she would be so cruel.

Wei Hong coughed and said, "Since the matter has been investigated, if you steal a woman's dowry, you must pay three times the amount. Xu, the three thousand taels on these receipts, now you have to pay Miss Lin nine thousand taels, do you agree?"

Xu knelt on the ground, her cheeks swollen and her eyes blurred, but she still shouted, "I don't recognize you, I don't recognize you."

"My son is favored by the Ninth Prince and will be his consort in the future. I will be his consort's mother in the future. How dare you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another slap came down.
