On the way back to Yin Huan Yuan, Huo Sanghua and Wu Tong were still chatting and laughing.

Lord Xie's kindness surprised her. Although learning about her background made her feel a little heavy-hearted, the thought of having Lord Xie to "back her up" in the Marquis's mansion in the future gave her a bit more to look forward to.

However, when they arrived at the entrance of Yin Huan Garden, they ran into Xie Shu, who had brought Lu Ming to visit Xie Lin.

The moment Huo Sanghua saw Lu Ming, the smile that had been on her face vanished instantly.

Seeing this, Xie Shu stiffened slightly. "Sang Hua..."

Huo Sanghua glared at Lu Ming, knowing that his appearance was never a good thing!

Lu Ming, being quite tactful, joked with Xie Shu, "Perhaps the Second Madam is still worried that I might harm the Second Young Master."

“Sang Hua isn’t that kind of person,” Xie Shu stepped forward and spoke up to explain for Sang Hua. “It’s just that concern makes one lose their composure. Given yesterday’s situation, it’s understandable that Sang Hua panicked for a moment. Young Master Lu, please don’t tease Sang Hua anymore.”

The tail of her eyebrow lightly swept across Hawthorne.

I saw them coming from afar, chatting and laughing as if they had something happy to do.

Although he didn't know what it was, the sound of laughter made him feel great.

However, when the person got closer and saw Lu Ming for the first time, Sang Hua made no attempt to hide her aversion to him. She suppressed her smile and looked like a small animal with its fur standing on end, ready to pounce on Lu Ming and take a bite out of him at any moment.

He knew that Sang Hua didn't like Lu Ming, but he didn't know why.

But in order to save Ah Lin, he had no choice but to ask Lu Ming to come and treat Ah Lin.

After all, it was Lu Ming who saved Ah Lin's life in the dangerous situation yesterday. If there had been no other way, he would not have brought Lu Ming back to Sang Hua.

Just as Huo Sanghua was about to speak, Wu Tong behind her tugged at her sleeve, signaling her not to speak.

So he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Let's trust this person one more time.

"Don't worry, Madam, I'm very confident in my medical skills." Lu Ming looked at Sang Hua with a teasing smile.

He hoped to attract her attention and leave a better impression on his good sister, so that they wouldn't become estranged when they recognized each other in the future.

He took it as Sang Hua throwing a tantrum and was willing to indulge her. After all, they had been separated for so many years, and it was only with great difficulty that she was finally released from that palace... Now that he saw her safe and sound, he was already very fortunate.

Wutong tugged at her.

Because of Xie Lin's injury, she had no choice but to acquiesce to Lu Ming treating Xie Lin. "However, it still needs to be made clear that if anything happens to him... you... you'll just have to wait!"

After thinking it over and over, I still didn't know how to threaten him.

He simply left behind this innocuous remark, warning Lu Ming to be smart and not to try anything while Xie Lin was seriously injured.

"Yes, if anything happens to the Second Young Master, I will give my life for him!" Lu Ming looked at him with the same doting eyes he would give his own younger sister.

Since he was determined to save Xie Lin's life, he naturally wouldn't harm him.

"Let's go in first." Xie Shu stepped between the two.

He couldn't quite explain why, but the way Lu Ming looked at Sang Hua made him very uncomfortable. Then, feigning nonchalance, he interrupted them and led Lu Ming into the courtyard...

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard laughter and chatter coming from inside the house.

That is--

A woman's voice?

Xie Shu and Lu Ming turned to look at Huo Sanghua almost simultaneously. She too heard that sweet, giggling voice, which seemed very familiar...

Like... ...

Sister Si.

Then came the visible panic.

Xie Lin was still unconscious before she left, and in the short time it had been, no one told her that Si Qingyue had come to visit her.

She hurriedly lifted her skirt and went inside.

Sure enough, as soon as they entered the room, they saw Si Qingyue sitting on the edge of the bed, chatting and laughing with Xie Lin. She raised her hand to cover her mouth, laughing so hard that her body was swaying.

I don't know what they said.

In an instant, Hawthorne felt a slight stinging pain in his chest, a very unpleasant feeling.

It just suddenly occurred to me that Xie Lin and Si Qingyue had known each other for a long time, and Xie Lin was known as a "playboy." He spent his days indulging in debauchery and brothels. Everyone in Shengjing knew that with his personality, it was only natural that he would become so familiar with the most popular dancers at the Guanyue Tower.

But suddenly, Hawthorne thought of...

I wonder how familiar Xie Lin and Si Qingyue are. Have they ever... done that?

On second thought, he realized how ridiculous he was. Could it be that Xie Lin spent all his time in places like that just to watch dancing and drink? Perhaps they had a closer relationship!

Besides, even if it wasn't Si Qingyue, it would have been someone else...

Hawthorne felt a surge of jealousy, her heart filled with sourness, and in a short while, she had been thinking about many things.

She felt extremely wronged. She had taken care of him all night, and this morning she had only left for an hour or two when someone came, and he happened to wake up... If she had known, she should have taken advantage of his serious injuries and unconsciousness last night to poison him!

"Sister Huo?" Si Qingyue tilted her head, noticing that Huo Sanghua hadn't said a word since entering the room, only staring intently at Xie Lin with a look that seemed to want to devour the second son of the Xie family whole. Si Qingyue then glanced at Xie Lin, who was leaning against the bed. "Oh, what's wrong? Why is Sister Huo looking at the second son like that? Could it be... that you're jealous?"

The word "jealousy" had just left Si Qingyue's mouth.

Huo Sanghua was shocked, and Xie Lin's eyes flashed with a strange surprise as he immediately looked at the person standing at the door.

"No, who said I... I didn't!" Hawthorne denied it three times in a row, bluffing.

She was afraid that others wouldn't notice her strangeness.

Xie Lin lowered his eyes, the hidden smile in them almost overflowing.

However, Si Qingyue became a little nervous after seeing Sang Hua's reaction. Just as she was about to say something, she looked up and saw Xie Shu and Lu Ming who had followed Huo Sang Hua in.

His gaze swept over the two of them, briefly meeting Lu Ming's eyes before he immediately looked away.

There was a smile on his face, but not in his eyes.

"Sang Hua," Xie Shu had heard clearly outside the door, and even without seeing Sang Hua's reaction, she could guess what was going on. But now Sang Hua was standing blankly in the room, waiting for A Lin, and A Lin was also uncomfortable. In order for Lu Ming to treat A Lin as soon as possible, she had to find a way to call Sang Hua aside first. "Sang Hua, come here for a moment, I have some things to tell you."

"Hmph." Huo Sanghua snorted, glared at Xie Lin, and turned to follow Xie Shu to the outer room.

Xie Lin trembled at the hum, and slowly raised his gaze to follow Sang Hua's back to the outer room.

Si Qingyue stepped aside and secretly observed Xie Shu and Sang Hua's every move. Lu Ming then sat down next to Xie Lin, blocking Xie Lin's view. No matter how Xie Lin struggled, he couldn't see anything.

"Don't move," Lu Ming said. Unlike Xie Lin, whose attention was entirely focused on the two people outside, he slightly shifted his gaze to the bed...

A pair of pillows.

A murderous glint appeared deep within his eyes—

They slept together?!

Xie Shu whispered to Sang Hua, "...While you need to take care of A Lin, you must also take care of your own health. Don't let yourself get worn out from working and not sleeping. If you need anything, just send someone to let me know..."

"Thank you, young master." Huo Sanghua was still sulking with Xie Lin.

"Ouch! It hurts so much!" Xie Lin suddenly cried out from the inner room.
