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

This was the only news that shocked her since her rebirth. If she was really not her father's daughter, then who was she?

Xu's trusted nanny outside the courtyard first noticed Lin Xi in her cloak and deliberately raised her voice to ask, "Young lady, why are you here?"

The expressions of Xu and Lin Xiu in the room changed, and they stared at the person who was about to come in.

Lin Xi smiled, walked out from the darkness, and said to the nanny, "I just arrived. My mother hasn't come to pay her respects tonight, so I changed my clothes and came here."

The nanny looked at Lin Xiu and saw that she looked normal. She quickly stepped forward to support her and led her inside.

As soon as Lin Xiu entered the house, he lowered his posture and acted as obediently as usual, "Hello, mother, aunt."

Xu and Lin Xiu looked at each other, unsure how long she had been standing outside and whether she had heard what they had just said.

This is the secret of the Lin family.

Secrets that those who know them can only take into the coffin.

"Get up first. You are too polite." Xu said, signaling her confidant to bring a stool. She then asked, "Are the two maids beside you not easy to use? How come you have dealt with them all?"

Lin Xi lowered her eyes and sat on the stool. "Chunhua is still useful, but Qiushi followed me to the Chen Mansion that day and didn't tell my aunt about my whereabouts. Of course, I was wrong. Mother, did I handle it improperly?"

Xu shook her head, her eyes changing, and then she shook her head again and replied, "Why? You handled it very well."

Seeing this, Lin Xi stood up directly, knelt slightly in front of them, and said in a choked voice: "Mother, aunt, I didn't mean to contradict the elders about the Chen Mansion. It's just that I'm young and have never encountered such a thing. Please punish me, mother and aunt."

Lin Xi was very impeccable in her manners. Lin Xiu couldn't help rolling her eyes. She thought Lin Xi was such a powerful girl, but it seemed that she was just a soft persimmon.

However, Xu was thinking about what happened in Horyuji Temple today, so she pretended to be concerned and asked, "Did you get hurt in Horyuji Temple today?"

Lin Xi shook her head. "How could I get hurt when Master Chen San is here?"

Since they asked about the Falong Temple, it means they must have received some information. However, the source of this information is not entirely accurate. Moreover, they did not want to attract attention today, so they did not bring many people with them. They must have questioned everyone and found no useful information, so they came to ask her again.

Xu frowned.

It’s Mr. Chen Sanye again.

They just got the news today that this Third Master Chen was promoted to a higher rank, and now he has His Majesty's spies in his hands, and has completely separated from the Chen family.

If Lin Xi really were with Chen Xun, then their goal would never be achieved.

What's more, she now has the favor of several noble ladies, which will make it even more difficult to control her marriage in the future.

"Mr. Chen San saved my life today. Logically, I should go to his house to express my gratitude, but there is a difference between men and women. Regarding my mother's matter, I want to send someone to the Lin Mansion to deliver a gift as a token of our appreciation." Lin Xi seemed to be thinking of his pitiful and frightened look today.

Lin Xi lowered his head. Isn’t this just acting?

Could it be that she still doesn't know how to do it now?

Maybe the previous generation was too eager for family affection, so when they saw them, they subconsciously tried to please them, and even disguising became easy for them.

Xu observed secretly for a long time.

Lin Xi is still the same Lin Xi as before, and can still be held in the palm of her hand. But for some reason, she always worries that Lin Xi has changed.

Fortunately, today, seeing her come to pay her respects as usual, I finally felt relieved.

"Good child, your mother understands your intention and will arrange for someone to do it tomorrow." After saying this, Xu paused and continued, "Your father still cares about you. Look, this ointment was specially prepared by your father because he was worried that you would get hurt."

Lin Xi's eyes turned red. She looked up in disbelief and asked with a sob, "Really, mother?"

Seeing her like this, Xu laughed out loud, waved her hand and asked her confidant to pass the ointment to Lin Xi: "How come it's still fake? This ointment can't be fake."

Xu knew best what Lin Xi cared about.

Lin Xi wiped her tears again and cried softly, "Yes."

Seeing her take the ointment with both hands, Xu finally felt relieved.

But now she is very worried about what Mr. Chen San is thinking?

Although the marriage was arranged by the parents of both parties, it was Chen Xun after all. He was an official of that level and could even influence the next generation of monarchs.

If the master wavers in his mind, she will not be able to achieve her goal.

Xu secretly clenched her fists in her sleeves, but her smile became more kind.

Xu had Lin Xi sent away, and she felt even more worried.

Lin Xiu noticed her uneasiness, tickled her nails, and said nonchalantly, "Sister-in-law, you are so kind. You even gave her ointment."

Xu also smiled but did not answer. She put a little thing in the ointment. It would not harm people's lives, but it would hurt people's skin. If they used it day by day, their skin would ulcerate.

Regardless of whether she needs it or not, it was delivered to her, which was also a small chance.

Xu's gaze fell on the door, empty.

Lin Xi has gone far away.

The moon was high in the sky, and the bright moonlight shone on her face. Her long eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyelids.

She looked down at the ointment in her hand, chuckled, walked to the edge of the pond, and looked at herself in the lake.

How could she not use the knife if it was handed to her?

Lin Xi put away the ointment and did not return to her own courtyard immediately. Instead, she asked the maid who followed her to go back first and walked into the path of the garden.

Her marriage will always be their bargaining chip. Parents are more important than anything else. If one day, they really arrange a marriage for her,

If you refuse openly, that would be unfilial. Unfilial people cannot survive in this world.

She stood on the gravel path in the garden, closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Fortunately, I live my life again.

Lin Xi's thoughts gradually became clear. Since his life experience remained a mystery, he would break the mystery with his own hands. They took his life in the previous life, so in this life, he would take their lives.

The cool breeze at night was particularly cold, and the back garden was already empty and silent.

Just as she was about to get up and go back, she heard some noise in the bushes behind her.

Lin Xi turned around alertly, and was put in a black bag. His eyes went dark, and his whole body was spinning as if he was being carried up by someone.

how?

Were they planning to kill her outright?

However, I smelled a familiar and unique scent from this person.

She had only smelled this kind of smell on one person before, and she thought she had picked it up when they were in the same room.

Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief when he knew who the visitor might be.

She was tossed around like this until her stomach churned and she finally stopped.

No one wanted to uncover the black bag covering her, so she couldn't help but ask, "Third Master?"
