After my rebirth, I was the most favored person in Beijing
Chapter 71 You Lied
Old Mrs. Lin asked fiercely, "Choose!"
How could the second house really choose? He looked at the weak Xun Shan'er behind him and said with gritted teeth: "Mother, how can you force me? I am also your son. You have always favored the eldest brother and the third sister since childhood, and have never cared about me. I only have this one wish now, why can't you agree to it?"
When Mrs. Lin heard what he said, she was so shaky that she couldn't stand up. Fortunately, Lin Xi had been supporting her. She looked at the second wife with disappointment in her eyes, "You, what about after you let her enter the family tree? You raised a son outside, and you thought I didn't know?"
She looked at the second wife with a look of disappointment, and then asked, "Could it be that as a father, you have never thought about Lin Min at all?"
Lin Min stood behind the crowd, watching this farce coldly.
"So, do you want that child to go back to the Lin Mansion as well?" Old Madam Lin hated raising illegitimate children outside the most in her life, so she was very strict with them in this regard.
Unexpectedly, the eldest brother liked Xu and was not nice to Lin Xi's mother.
The second wife ran away for so many years, causing Lin Min's mother to die early, and he raised a child outside.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Lin was overwhelmed with grief. Her energetic look suddenly aged a lot. "Second brother, have you never thought about your family in all these years? You have been selfish since you were a child. Even at your age now, you are still so selfish."
"I'm going to say this. Either she is included in the family tree and you get out of the Lin family. Otherwise, she gets out and you stay. Only one of you can stay."
When Xun Shan'er heard these words, she immediately understood that the old lady was forcing her to make a choice.
How could a businessman be respected more than an official in this world?
It was impossible for her to let the second wife return to the shop and just be a shop owner. If she stayed in the Lin Mansion, it would definitely be better with the support of the Lin Mansion.
What's more, she didn't expect that the child was hidden so well, but was discovered by this damn old lady.
When Lin Xi saw this, he frowned. How come another child appeared?
That child was probably the second uncle's mistress. Such an identity would have a great impact on Lin Min's future. She had to consider Lin Min's future.
"Second uncle, what do you think?" Lin Xi said.
The second wife also didn't expect that even if she tried her best, she couldn't make her mother compromise like she did before. He has relied on the Lin Mansion for his entire life. In fact, that product is more or less related to the Lin Mansion. If he is really forced to break away from the Lin Mansion, he may not be able to survive outside.
Xun Shan'er saw his hesitation and quickly said, "Let's just forget about this matter!"
Seeing Xun Shan'er giving him a way out, the second wife hurriedly walked down the stairs. He stopped making a fuss and the matter ended just like that.
Lin Min walked out from the crowd, knelt in front of Old Lady Lin, nodded and apologized, saying, "Grandma, it's my fault."
Old Madam Lin also knew that the only person she could rely on in the entire Lin Mansion was probably Lin Min. She was a little helpless, "It's the elders' fault. It's not your turn to apologize."
"Second Master, is this a prelude to bringing back your foreign son?"
"Who says it's not true? The son that the Second Master personally raised outside is closer to Master Lin Min than Master Lin Min. I'm afraid he will come back to fight for the Second Master's things in the future!"
"What can the second branch have? I'm afraid they're fighting for the position of future head of the family."
The Lin family didn't have many children, and both Lin Min and Lin Zhaoyu were trained as future officials. However, Lin Zhaoyu was spoiled by Xu, and now only Lin Min had a promising future.
Who would have thought that Lin Min's father, who had been away from home for a long time, would actually come back.
The maids and servants outside the door couldn't help but discuss in a low voice.
The old lady in the room looked at Lin Min and Lin Xi with a gloomy expression, "This time, I will definitely not let him affect you."
If Xun Shan'er really became the official mistress of the Lin Mansion, it would be a bad thing for Lin Xi's marriage.
Lin Xi shook her head and tried her best to comfort Old Lady Lin, saying, "Grandma, this matter doesn't have much impact on me. Father won't really let Second Uncle's child marry into the family."
This matter was just that the second uncle had been looking for his grandmother, and Lin Hewen didn't want to step forward and refuse the matter, so he could only let his grandmother come forward. In fact, the tug-of-war between the two should not have been put on the grandmother's head long ago.
Lin Hewen now has high hopes for the baby in Madam Wen's belly, and naturally attaches great importance to his position in the Lin Mansion.
During the time that Lin Xi entered the palace, Lin Hewen could not sleep with Madam Wen, and gradually went to Xu's room. The relationship between the two seemed to have returned to the way it was at the beginning.
Xu heard the jokes from the second house. Seeing Lin Hewen's bad face, she stood up and stood behind him, rubbing his temples and whispered, "This is not difficult."
"Just bring the second wife's biological son back and raise him with the old lady. As for that Miss Xun, find a reason to send her away. She just wants to get involved in the Lin Mansion's land. You have to let her know that she can't just get involved if she wants to." Xu's voice was soft and Lin Hewen felt very comfortable.
He had always hated dealing with these things, and when he heard that Xu could handle it, he held her hand tightly and said, "If you can handle it, it would be great."
There was a smile on Xu's face. She was better at hiding her temper than before and no longer had any feelings towards the man in front of her. She now had to regain her voice in the Lin Mansion so that she could consider the future of Yue'er and Zhaoyu.
Otherwise, Lin Hewen would have been completely devoted to Madam Wen's belly.
"I'm afraid Madam Wen's child will be born in winter. I have already arranged for a midwife and sent a few capable people from my side to help take care of the child." Xu said sincerely, without any falsehood. "I was ignorant some time ago. I cared too much about the master."
As she spoke, she leaned on Lin Hewen's shoulder and shed a few tears.
When Lin Hewen saw her putting on the yellow dress again, he couldn't help but say, "This is what you wore when we first met."
At this point, he seemed to be lost in past memories, and came back to his senses and put his arm around her shoulders, "I am also wrong. If you don't like the child in Madam Wen's belly, I will send her to the outer courtyard to be raised, so that I won't be bothered by not seeing her."
Xu quickly covered his mouth and said, "Master's child is also my child. I will treat him like Zhaoyu. But Zhaoyu has returned to his hometown, and Yue'er is now in the prince's mansion. I can't see her. I am always worried. I wonder if there is any way for me to see Yue'er."
Lin Yuanyue has never returned home since she got married, and she is always worried.
But Lin Hewen pretended not to care about this matter. He only thought about the baby in Madam Wen's belly every day and didn't care about her child at all. Because of this incident, she now hated Lin Hewen as well.
"There's no rush about this matter. After all, they are members of the royal family, and we can't just meet whenever we want. The Ninth Prince still has feelings for Yue'er after all. Don't worry about this matter. Let's resolve the matter of the second house first!" Lin Hewen said.
Xu couldn't help but sneer in her heart, and immediately poured him a cup of tea, "Master, you have been talking for so long, you must be thirsty, this is a tea for cooling down your body, I noticed that your lips have been dry these days."
Lin Hewen was touched. Only Xu could observe these things so carefully.
"Lin Xi, she is now a lady-in-waiting of the Empress, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do anything to her." Lin Hewen suddenly said this, but Xu smiled and said, "Don't be so anxious about this matter. She is her mother's child, and her life story is not just known to us."
Xu smiled, but did not say these words directly.
······
After Lin Xi received Jiang Zhong's letter, he went out to look for him.
Jiang Zhong directly brought all of Liuyun's family members in front of her, and said with a silly smile: "Miss Lin, these are the people you are looking for."
Xuxu hugged her mother and trembled. The group of people gathered together. The man in the lead kowtowed to Lin Xi and said, "Sir, we are all good people and have never done anything bad!"
Lin Xi sat on the chair that Jiang Zhong had brought and asked, "Has anyone come to see you during this period?"
Liuyun's father quickly shook his head and waved his hands, saying: "No, no, no one will come to find us."
Liu Yunniang held Xu Xu and hid in a corner. A group of people crowded in the backyard of Jiang Zhong's gambling house, and the sounds of betting came one after another in the front.
Jiang Zhong understood everything after seeing Lin Xi's look. He took out a dagger from his pocket and threatened Liu Yun's father, "If you don't tell the truth, I will have no choice but to kill you."
Liuyun's father has been hanging around in various casinos, so how could he not know that these people are really ruthless.
He watched as the white dagger was taken out, and quickly stepped back, pushing Liu Yunniang in front of him, and kowtowed to beg for forgiveness, "I really don't know, I really don't know."
When Liuyun's mother saw the dagger, she panicked. "Someone was here, someone was here. I don't know who that person was. Anyway, she took the money and asked for something that Liuyun could recognize as belonging to a family member. I gave it to her."
"Do you still remember that person's physical characteristics?" Jiang Zhong asked.
Lady Liuyun thought about it carefully for a long time before she remembered, "He seems to be wearing the clothes of a butler, but I don't know which family's butler he is. I can't read."
Lin Xi was wearing a veil with a white veil covering her face, so her expression could not be seen. However, even in this situation, she inexplicably exuded a solemn and murderous aura.
"If that's the case, then you have no value."
The noble lady sitting in the upper seat spoke.
Father Liu Yun quickly spoke up, "If I tell this, will this noble man let us go?"
Lin Xi did not answer immediately. She let him off for a long while, watching his face gradually turn pale. She was nervous and made sure that he could tell the truth. Then she said, "Of course, as long as you tell the truth."
Liu Yun's father quickly said, "Yes, it's the Ruan family."
Jiang Zhong then asked: "How do you know it's the Ruan family?"
Liu Yun's father's eyebrows jumped, and his palms were sweating with nervousness, "Because the housekeeper of the Ruan family often beats people on the street."
The fox pretends to be the tiger's power?
Lin Xi lowered his eyes, this matter was probably almost true, it seemed that it was the work of people around Ruan Liuying, and the Ruan family took action.
The wind lifted a corner of the curtain.
Liu Yunniang happened to raise her head and caught a glimpse of the face under the curtain. Her expression instantly changed from fear to shock. She let go of the hand that was holding Xuxu and rolled and crawled towards Lin Xi.
Jiang Zhong was surprised by her extraordinary behavior and subconsciously tried to grab her with his hand, but he didn't expect to cut her arm with the dagger.
Liu Yunniang was stunned and asked, "Madam?"
"Madam?" Lin Xi's eyes turned cold when he heard this. "Have you ever served someone before?"
She turned to Jiang Zhong and ordered, "Take everyone down with you."
Lin Xi threw a purse from her arms to Jiang Zhong. When Liuyun's father saw the purse, his eyes immediately became greedy, but he could only follow Jiang Zhong out regretfully.
"Tell me! Why do you call me Madam?" Lin Xi's tone became a little more aggressive.
Liu Yunniang quickly begged for mercy and said, "I didn't say anything just now."
But before she could finish her words, Lin Xi directly lifted her curtain, revealing her face, and said softly: "Many people say that I look a lot like my mother. Since you just called me Madam, why don't you let my nanny come and recognize you to see if we are old friends."
Fortunately, today, it was Aunt Xu who came out with her.
Aunt Xu was an old lady by my mother's side. She had a deep impression of everyone who had served my mother. She walked in from the carriage outside the door, looked at Liu Yunniang kneeling on the ground, and called out in surprise, "Shuang Gu?"
Aunt Frost?
No one has called her by this name for many years, and even she herself has forgotten it.
When Aunt Xu saw Shuang Gu, she became furious. She grabbed Shuang Gu's arm and asked anxiously, "What happened when I returned to Yecheng? Why did the young lady leave as soon as I returned to the capital?"
For so many years, she gritted her teeth and dared not ask the questions in her heart. When the young lady gave birth, she was in poor health and was called by the young lady to go to Yecheng to pick up something. Unexpectedly, she heard the bad news as soon as she came back. For so many years, she had questions in her heart, but she did not dare to tell Lin Xi, for fear that she would bear the grievances of the previous generation on herself and would be unhappy in this life.
"Why did you disappear after the young lady left?" Aunt Xu asked her, and as she spoke, she couldn't stop her tears from flowing.
Shuang Gu's face was covered with wounds. She lowered her head and said, "I...I..."
There were many things she didn't dare to say, "Madam, she is in poor health, and I didn't take good care of her. I thought it would be better to hide away and I wouldn't be punished."
Aunt Xu slapped her in the face. Shuang Gu took the slap obediently and knelt on the ground with a plop. "You're lying."
