After my rebirth, I was the most favored person in Beijing
Chapter 5 Horyuji Temple
Horyuji Temple.
The largest temple in the capital, you can see an endless stream of pilgrims from the foot of the mountain.
Lin Xi waited for Lin Yuanyue to go out early in the morning and deliberately rode in the same carriage with her. Along the way, she saw her expression changing again and again out of the corner of her eye.
Lin Yuanyue was only fifteen or sixteen years old, so how could she be as calm as the eldest lady? She looked at Lin Xi, who had dressed up specially for the day, and said after a long while, "Sister, why did you change your makeup today? Where are the two maids beside you?"
Lin Xi seemed like a different person today. She didn't like to dress up before and usually appeared in public with a plain face. But today she was dressed up and looked so dazzling that even she couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Lin Xi's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked anxiously, "Why? Doesn't it look good? This batch of satin was specially given to me by you when I just came back from Yecheng."
"As for those two girls, Chunhua and Qiushi, they did things in a dishonest way. I will report to my mother today and I plan to kick Qiushi out of my yard."
Lin Yuanyue's mouth stiffened, and she couldn't help but wonder if she had discovered something.
But when she looked closely, she saw that this was indeed the silk she had given to Lin Yuanyue.
But, she originally wanted to show off that she had something that Lin Xi didn't have. How come it looked better on her than on herself?
What's more, she wore new clothes today, but they were not as stunning as when Lin Xi wore them.
"This dress looks much better when it's worn by my sister." Lin Yuanyue managed to force out these words. Suddenly, the carriage stopped and she leaned forward, almost falling. Her anger was ignited and she yelled at the coachman, "What's going on?"
The coachman replied angrily, "My lady, our carriage collided with the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."
Lin Xi lifted the curtain and saw a carriage with the four big characters "Zhenguogong Mansion" written on it right next to them. The lane here was narrow and there were already many carriages parked on both sides of the road. It was impossible for two carriages to pass at the same time.
"Sister, we are here today to pray for blessings, not to cause trouble." Lin Xi shook his head and tugged at her sleeve.
Lin Yuanyue has always been domineering at home, and for the sake of a good reputation outside, she has always pretended to be very good. Today, because of Lin Xi in front of her, she almost let herself go. She regained a gentle smile on her face and said softly, "Of course, sister."
Lin Yuanyue did better than Lin Xi had imagined. Across the carriage, she said to the man from the Zhenguo Mansion who was standing very close to her: "I am sorry for offending you, sister. I apologize for this."
A delicate voice came from the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion: "It's our fault, you guys go first!"
Lin Yuanyue nodded without refusing. After thanking him, she let the carriage go.
Lin Xi's eyes flickered slightly, and he had an idea in mind, so he asked, "Are you acquainted with the young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?"
Lin Yuanyue nodded as if to show off.
Her face was full of pride. Although she had only met the sickly man in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion a few times, if she could get close to him and attend the banquets of the noble ladies in Kyoto, she would not have to worry about not finding a good husband.
If only, if only, she would lend herself all the good luck in this life.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuanyue felt that she had to find a way to urge her father and mother again. If she was really involved with Mr. Chen San, what would happen to her life?
What's more, her fate in this life will definitely be better than hers.
After they burned incense, they went to a separate courtyard in Horyuji Temple that was specially used by female members of the family.
In the yard, a group of ladies were chatting and laughing.
The air was filled with the scent of incense, and everyone's eyes were on the two girls who had just entered.
Lin Xi and Lin Yuanyue greeted him together.
Suddenly, a lady came forward and took Lin Xi's hand, saying warmly, "Miss Lin, we met once at the Chen residence."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Meet the Madam."
She still remembered that this lady was one of the few people present who spoke for her.
"I am the wife of Marquis Huaiyin. You don't know me, so you should interact with me more often in the future." As soon as the wife of Marquis Huaiyin said this, the color of the people present changed, and they all came forward to actively deal with Lin Xi.
The wife of the Marquis of Huaiyin saw everything that happened between Lin Xi and her aunt that night. Seeing her aunt pressing her step by step, she was able to retreat unscathed without any fault being found, which was truly eye-opening.
He has such a good daughter, but he doesn't cherish her and instead thinks of using despicable means to harm her.
If Lin Xi was her daughter, she would be so heartbroken.
The words of the wife of the Marquis of Huaiyin made Lin Yuanyue stunned. She was unable to react for a while. She had been in Kyoto for so long, and that lady had treated her so close.
What's more, the Marquis of Huaiyin is not an ordinary mansion. His family was conferred the title of marquis because they had a queen.
Lin Yuanyue saw it all and felt very uncomfortable, but she had to put on a smile so as not to let others notice anything.
It doesn’t matter, as long as she can exchange her fate in this life for myself, I will be able to rise to the top.
This was the first kindness Lin Xi encountered after his rebirth, and it warmed his heart.
The people in the house were drinking tea when suddenly someone outside shouted loudly: "Murder, murder."
Everyone's face was filled with panic, as they had never encountered such a thing before. Lin Xi's hand holding the cup tightened slightly, feeling uneasy. His eyes fell on Lin Yuanyue. Is this the time?
But how did he save the young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion?
Just now, when the two carriages collided, she deliberately lifted the curtain to see the guards she brought with her. There were at least ten people. How could she be rescued by Lin Yuanyue, who didn't know any martial arts at all?
Because of the incident at the Chen Mansion, she did not come to the Fa Long Temple in her previous life. She only knew that she saved people and gained a good reputation.
Lin Xi frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong, but couldn't put his finger on it.
The crackling sounds of fighting outside didn't stop until a long while later. Everyone huddled together, their faces pale with fear, and no one dared to go out to see what was going on.
Lin Xi had been keeping an eye on Lin Yuanyue. Finally, when she was about to sneak out, she called out to Lin Yuanyue in time: "Sister, where are you going? It's not safe outside. If you go out now and bring someone in, what will happen?"
This remark immediately aroused dissatisfaction among everyone present.
Everyone looked at Lin Yuanyue with dissatisfaction.
Lin Yuanyue had cold sweat on her forehead, but she was thinking in her heart, if she didn't go out, it would be too late. If she couldn't achieve her goal, what was the point of doing things today?
Damn Lin Xi, why did he speak at this time?
"Sister, I just want to go out and take a look. If it's safe, I'll come back and tell everyone."
Lin Xi held Lin Yuanyue's hand and said, "How can I let you do this? Let me do it!"
After that, she walked out resolutely, "I am your sister, let me do this dangerous thing."
Everyone couldn't help but be moved by the deep sisterly love, leaving Lin Yuanyue dumbfounded.
Lin Xi walked out cautiously, looking at the calm outside, a sneer appeared at the corner of his lips.
She knew that Lin Yuanyue couldn't possibly not care about her comfort, and what happened today was most likely related to her.
But she never expected that she would meet Chen Xun before meeting the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo.
Chen Xun walked out from his men and slowly walked into Linxi.
The sword in his hand was still dripping with blood, but he said expressionlessly: "Long time no see, Miss Lin."
