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

"Lin Xi, this is what you did!"

The candlelight flickered in the house. Lin Xi's eyes dimmed, his hands clenched, and he stood outside the door listening to the roar of his father Lin Hewen inside.

Thinking back to her previous life, her father had not yet married Xu, and he loved her very much as she had lost her mother at a young age, and even took her with him when he went to Jiangnan.

However, ever since Xu was born and gave birth to Lin Yuanyue, she was forgotten by her father in Yecheng. No relatives paid attention to her. How did she survive in her maternal grandfather's house?

She originally thought that she would be taken back to the capital by her father when she reached the age of 15, but she didn't expect that her father already had a concubine sister. Seeing that they had snatched away her father's love, she could do nothing.

In order for Lin Yuanyue to move up in career, her father even asked Xu to use some sorcery to transfer her life's luck to Lin Yuanyue, so that she could move up in career.

Later, she did rise to a higher position, but she herself was trapped in the dark backyard due to the schemes of her relatives, and finally was shot through the heart by the man beside her.

why?

She just wanted to live a good life, be filial to her father, respect her elders, and after marriage, take charge of the household chores and be a good mistress of the household.

Lin Hewen's voice inside was scolding angrily.

"You shameless thing, you still think of coming back? What have you been doing in Chen's mansion?"

"I gave you the dignity of a legitimate daughter, provided you with food and drink, and even let you have brothers and sisters. Is it possible that I, as a father, have not done a good enough job?"

Lin Hewen raised his hand and threw the teacup to the ground. He looked up and met a cold gaze. He was startled and asked with a pale face and pursed lips, "You didn't even tell me you came in. Did you want to scare me to death?"

Xu, who was beside Lin Hewen, advised, "Don't be angry. I don't think Xi'er expected that going to Chen's would cause such a big commotion."

After that, she walked to Lin Xi again and persuaded him softly, "Lin Xi, don't be angry. Your father is just worried about you. Tell me how you could cause such a big commotion in the Chen Mansion. A woman's reputation is the most important thing. Your marriage is now in a difficult situation."

Lin Xi looked at the middle-aged Xu in front of him and didn't say anything.

Seeing her so unconfident, Xu thought that the matter was settled, so she winked at Lin Hewen, and Lin Hewen swept another teacup in front of Lin Xi's feet.

He shouted, "Why don't you kneel down now?"

Lin Xi raised his head and looked at him, then asked, "Why should I kneel?"

Lin Hewen had never thought that the usually docile Lin Xi would actually say something to refute him. He was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long while to utter: "You, you...you are so rebellious."

"Then may I ask father, what mistake did your daughter make?" Lin Xi asked calmly.

Lin Hewen was confident: "Of course it's you and Young Master Chen..."

He stopped talking here, his face turned red, then white, and then red. He gritted his teeth and glared, "Do you really want me to tell you your ugly deeds in person?"

Seeing this, Chen stepped forward and said, "Xi'er, just tell me yourself. We can't hide the matter between you and Master Chen anymore. Fortunately, your aunt is on good terms with the eldest wife of the Chen family, so we can still make peace."

Lin Xi's expression was calm. She raised her voice slightly and asked, "What's the matter between me and Mr. Chen?" Her tone was firm, and there was a bit more determination between her brows, which made people unable to look away.

Lin Hewen felt something strange in his heart, and said coldly: "What else can you say? I will make the decision on this matter. Let you marry into the Chen family, and it will not affect the reputation of the Lin family."

Children's marriage is decided by parents. Even if some tricks are used, you can only listen to them.

"Today, father did not ask me what happened in the Chen Mansion. As soon as my daughter came home, she started pointing fingers at me. Father, if it was Lin Yuanyue, would you do the same? Are you fair?"

Lin Xi's eyes were slightly red as he spoke, but his back was still straight.

Fair?

Lin Hewen didn't expect that his daughter in front of him would dare to accuse him, as if she had seen her mother.

Xu's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly acted like a good person, and advised, "Xi Jie'er, don't be angry. Your father is not in good health, so don't make him angry anymore. If you tell others about it, you will be unfilial."

Lin Hewen was furious. He saw Lin Xi said to him, "Father, there were many things that I couldn't see clearly before. Today, I understand everything. As for what happened in the Chen Mansion, you can go and ask Aunt if there is anything wrong with what I did."

Lin Xi bowed and turned to leave.

The two were left staring at each other in astonishment.

······

Lin Xi was unwilling to play along with them any more.

She had finally been able to live a new life, so how could she let herself fall into a trap again because of so-called relatives?

Today's game was full of loopholes, but she didn't expect to meet Lin Yuanyue standing in the corridor waiting for her as soon as she went out.

In her previous life, when she returned to Beijing from Yecheng, Lin Yuanyue was always by her side when she was alone and helpless.

The stepmother seemed kind on the surface, but this younger sister was the only one who was truly on good terms with her. Even after this incident, she stood in the corridor crying and saying that she wanted justice for herself.

But how could she really let her go?

After that, when she married into the Chen family, he treated her sincerely and without any defense.

She never thought that this sister would harm her.

It was not until after her death that she heard her sister say that she and her stepmother had consulted a Taoist priest for some sorcery, which had transferred all her good luck in this life to her, and that she wanted to step on her corpse to rise step by step and bring honor to the family.

When Lin Xi thought of this, his nails had already sunk into his flesh.

"Sister, what injustice have you suffered?" Lin Yuanyue had a sweet voice. She held up the hem of her skirt and ran towards her, looking aggrieved and pitiful.

Lin Xi suppressed the hatred in her heart and said calmly, "How could my father let me be wronged?"

This sentence made Lin Yuanyue choke, but she immediately put on her hypocritical face: "Sister, are you blaming me? The banquet at the Chen Mansion today was originally intended for you to interact with people in the capital and get to know them better. It's my fault."

Lin Xi raised the corner of her mouth and said softly, "Sister, what you said is true. There was a small incident at the banquet, but Master Chen San helped me solve it. I can't thank you enough."

In the Chen Mansion, the eldest wife of the Chen family and the third master Chen are not in the same league at all.

The eldest branch of the Chen family still relies on the Lin family, otherwise how could they agree to this matter.

Mr. Chen San is now a popular and powerful official in the court. How could he let Lin Xi be involved with such a person?

Lin Yuanyue's movements froze, her expression was not restrained for a moment, she pulled her hand with unconscious force, and asked in a lost tone: "How did sister get in touch with Master Chen San?"

"The Third Master is very kind. He saw that I was taking the wrong road, so he took me for a while." Lin Xi lowered her head and smiled shyly.

what?

Mr. Chen San is kind?

This was the biggest joke Lin Yuanyue had ever heard.

In the entire Kyoto, everyone knows that Chen Xun is ruthless and intelligent, and has ruthless means, even towards his female relatives.

Because of this, at his age, no one dares to come to propose marriage to him.

If Mr. Chen San really likes her, then...

Lin Yuanyue had a bad feeling in her heart.
