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

"What did you say? She sneaked out?" Lin Yuanyue showed a look of joy on her face. She walked back and forth a few steps and clapped her hands. "Finally I caught her pigtail. I'll tell my father now."

After so many days, she finally realized that Lin Xi was no longer the person who could be deceived by just a few tears from her when she first came from Yecheng.

She had already begun to guard against herself, and she had not even noticed that she was watching herself being humiliated by the imperial concubine and her mother was now under house arrest.

Lin Xi suffered no loss at all, and even took away so many treasures for free.

Her mother had personally taken her to the secret vault to see it before. Those things were supposed to be her dowry, but now they had all been taken away by Lin Xi.

When she thought of this, she felt so angry that her teeth itched.

"Second Miss, please wait a moment and don't be so anxious." Caiyue, who had been guarding beside her, hurriedly advised.

Then, Caiyue took out the silver she had prepared earlier and gave it to the little maid, saying condescendingly: "This is a reward from the Second Miss. Just do your job with peace of mind. You will definitely receive benefits in the future."

Lin Yuanyue was so angry that she swept all the cups on the table to the ground and said viciously: "This won't do. Are we going to just watch her stay out of this? My mother and I have been so angry."

Why can Lin Xi get better and better? She felt jealous when she thought of the praise those noble ladies expressed to Lin Xi. Since she was a child, some people have said that Lin Xi would be her stepping stone in the future.

How could she accept that her stepping stone could live better than herself?

"Where do you think she can go?" Lin Yuanyue leaned her hands on the table with a fierce look on her face. Now the Ninth Prince no longer responded to her messages. It seemed that Concubine Ruan herself had cut off her contact with the Ninth Prince.

What else can she do in the future?

Caiyue thought for a while, "That girl said that the young lady dressed up carefully today, I'm afraid she wants to meet a man outside her family in private."

Lin Yuanyue's eyes lit up, "Really?"

It’s really interesting. Her reputation is ruined anyway, so she might as well let Lin Xi’s reputation ruin along with her.

Even if she dies, I will hold her in my arms and go to hell with her.

Caiyue paused, then continued, "Now that it has come to this, isn't the Second Miss going to find the Holy Monk?"

Coming back to his senses, Lin Yuanyue shook his head and said in a respectful tone, "Not yet. The holy monk is in seclusion. We can't disturb him during this period of time. When the holy monk comes out, we'll see how Lin Xi can still jump around."

······

The gate of Chen Xun's house was closed very early. There was not even anyone setting up stalls outside his house. It was as deserted as he was.

The doorman saw a carriage suddenly stop at the door. He was dozing off but suddenly became alert. Could anyone be coming in broad daylight?

While he was thinking, his eyes were fixed on the person coming out of the carriage, and he saw that it was a woman.

The beautiful woman was shocked again and again, and she didn't even react until Lin Xi walked up to her.

Chunhua called several times, then turned to Lin Xi and said, "Miss, do you think the concierge can't hear you?"

Lin Xi also thought about it, could it be that he really couldn't hear?

The concierge was stunned for a moment, then asked quickly, "Miss, are you looking for someone?"

Are you here to see Lord Chen?

He lowered his head, ready to write down the name.

"Yes, I'm looking for Mr. Chen San." Lin Xi spoke softly, her voice was very pleasant.

The concierge paused with his pen in hand, and the ink gathered at the tip of the pen and dripped onto the paper, spreading out. He raised his head stupidly and asked in a daze, "Are you looking for Master Chen San?"

Over the years, no woman has ever come to see Master San.

The concierge put down his pen and said quickly, "Young lady, wait a moment. I will go in and report first."

After saying that, he ran in hurriedly.

Chunhua couldn't help but frowned: "Miss, the people in this place are too weird."

Lin Xi coughed lightly. She had never seen anyone around Chen Xun before, but she didn't know he had this kind of personality.

In just a moment, An Liang came out with hurried steps, obviously shocked by the news. When he reached the door and saw Lin Xi, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Miss Lin, the master is waiting for you in the back pavilion."

He stretched out his hand and walked in with Lin Xi.

He walked through a corridor covered with white gauze, on which the sunlight cast a layer of golden sand, all the way to the pavilion that Anliang mentioned, and then he stopped Chunhua.

Chunhua was already afraid of this place, and now seeing that Lin Xi was going to go in alone, she naturally refused. However, as soon as she met Lin Xi's eyes, she immediately understood what Lin Xi meant. She stopped talking and followed An Liang to guard outside ten steps away.

This pavilion was built on a huge fake lake. A hazy white veil covered the surroundings, but vague human figures could still be seen from the outside.

Lin Xi used her fingers to pry aside the smooth gauze and saw Chen Xun dozing off on a low chair with messy books at his feet. A plump and tempting peach rolled to her feet.

She stepped lightly, avoiding the books, then bent down to pick up the peach, played with it in her palm, and bowed, "Today, I came here specially to thank Master Chen."

"You helped me that day, too."

Hearing this, Chen Xun slowly opened his eyes, did not speak, but just cast a heavy gaze on Lin Xi.

Lin Xi seemed to feel a weight coming down on his shoulder, the smile on his face paused, and he put the peach on the plate.

She didn't know what Chen Xun was trying to do. Today she was just taking a gamble that he might meet her. As for how she would explain it when she returned, it all depended on how the people in the Lin Mansion understood it.

But Chen Xun didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly. His calm gaze seemed to carry a hint of aggression, seeing every inch of her skin clearly.

Lin Xi always felt that he could see through all her little thoughts. Thinking of this, she clenched her fists, lowered her head to avoid making eye contact with him, and whispered, "I am so rude. I'd better come back another day to bother you."

She saluted, turned and tried to escape.

"You want to use me?"

There was no one else here, so she had to turn around. He guessed it all.

Lin Xi had no choice but to lift up the hem of her skirt, which blossomed like a flower beside her footsteps. She stopped in front of Chen Xun and was about to sit down when she saw that he had stretched out his hand and pressed against the red spot on her forehead.

The two of them were stuck in this weird posture. Lin Xi didn't know what was wrong with him, but she could never see clearly what was going on in his eyes.

"Everyone who used me is dead."

Does that mean she wants to be the next one?

Lin Xi smiled, reached out and grabbed Chen Xun's wrist: "Master Chen San, Master Chen, listen to me."

Chen Xun withdrew his hand instantly, his face gloomy.

Seeing that he was giving her a chance, Lin Xi quickly said, "After all, you've taken advantage of me, haven't you?"

Chen Xun's expression changed, and after a long while, he asked, "How did you figure that out?"
