Reborn as a concubine's daughter and entering a noble family: Xie Lang, don't be too seduc

This wail instantly drew the attention of everyone in the room.

Lu Ming sat on the edge of the bed with an innocent look on his face.

He... didn't do anything, did he?

It wasn't until she realized what was happening that she understood Xie Lin hadn't seen or heard, and that he had deliberately made a commotion over there. Her face darkened further, and her back teeth chattered.

This brat!

Seeing that Huo Sanghua was about to walk over, Si Qingyue rushed to Xie Lin's side first, took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead. "What's wrong? Does your injury hurt again? Why is that? You used to get injured often... ...Let me apply the medicine for you."

Hawthorne immediately stopped in his tracks...

You're always getting hurt... Let me apply the medicine for you...

So, in the past, when Xie Lin was injured, it was Sister Si who applied the medicine for him?

Their relationship had indeed become quite close.

Applying medicine...

Suddenly, she remembered the last time she and Xie Shu were trapped in the cave, and how she took off her clothes and asked Xie Shu to help her apply medicine.

Suddenly, her cheeks flushed, and she glanced guiltily at Xie Shu standing beside her.

She glanced at him briefly and quickly looked away, but Xie Shu happened to catch her gaze and inexplicably remembered what happened that night... ...and suddenly felt a little flustered.

Huo Sanghua didn't know if Si Qingyue had always applied medicine to Xie Lin in the same way every time he was injured before. She just suddenly felt a nameless anger rising in her heart, and her jealousy intensified.

Imagine Xie Lin taking off his shirt, sitting face-to-face with Si Qingyue, carefully applying medicine in an ambiguous scene...

It was almost impossible to control the anger in my heart.

With a furrowed brow, his eyes, like countless poisoned, sinister weapons, were aimed at Xie Lin.

Xie Lin had never felt such a chill down his spine before; he felt waves of coldness and his whole body wanted to tremble.

Before anyone else could react, Hawthorne left without looking back.

I was afraid that in a fit of anger I might blow up the whole house...

"Second Madam!" Wu Tong called out to her, following her out. "Second Madam, please slow down! What's wrong...?"

"Don't follow me!" Huo Sanghua's voice came from the porch outside the door, and Xie Lin couldn't help but tremble and gasp.

I wonder who offended her this time; her temper has been getting worse every day lately...

Si Qingyue glanced at Lu Ming quietly, her eyes filled with worry.

It seems things are developing in the direction she least wanted to see; Sang Hua has indeed fallen for Xie Lin.

Lu Ming caught Si Qingyue's hint but didn't say anything, only taking her pulse himself... ...Secretly, he wished he could insert a silver needle into her vital point and kill her with one blow!

What is that...?

How dare this fickle, lecherous, and incompetent man provoke his own sister?!

Hawthorne stood alone in a secluded spot under the corridor, dismissed Wutong, and after confirming that no one was around, began frantically pounding on a stone pillar—

"...You, Xie Lin, you womanizer, you bastard!...You told me all that bullshit about protecting me, but then you turned around and were still flirting with other people! And you said you were investigating something? If I believed your lies, I'd rather die than admit I'm not Huo Sanghua!..."

He's said the same thing to countless people.

I'm afraid Sister Si has heard the same thing before!

That's right. On her first day of marriage, when she was framed and locked up in the ancestral hall by Madam Xie, that guy even went to the Moon-Viewing Pavilion!

His unreliable behavior was known throughout Shengjing.

She's so naive, actually thinking he's different...

"Who has angered the Second Madam again?" Lu Ming's voice came from behind.

Huo Sanghua hurriedly straightened her clothes, trying to appear poised and dignified. She didn't even need to look to know how infuriating Lu Ming's sarcastic and sarcastic manner was. "Whether I'm angry or not is none of your business."

She forced a smile, determined not to let Lu Ming succeed!

"Oh dear," Lu Ming said, completely ignoring Huo Sanghua's "hostility," and walked over to stand beside her. "I heard that back then, it was the Second Madam herself who chose the Second Young Master as her husband. This Second Young Master must have some extraordinary qualities to win the Second Madam's favor so much that she was willing to do anything to marry him!"

Hawthorne was furious; this person was clearly there to kick him while he was down.

Ignoring her anger, Lu Ming continued sarcastically, "The Second Young Master is amorous, with beauties everywhere. I imagine... this courtyard will soon be filled with all sorts of women. The Second Madam will never be lonely. Before, she was under someone's control in the palace, but now she can call the shots in the courtyard. Surrounded by a group of young ladies, she'll definitely have a good time."

"Don't you have anything else to do?" Hawthorne finally snapped.

This guy must be bored out of his mind! He's just here to laugh at her, and his sarcastic remarks are just to remind her that Xie Lin is a passionate and philandering man, to tell her that she chose the wrong person in the first place?

Lu Ming remained completely unaffected, laughing even more wildly. His words and expressions seemed to be a constant reminder to Huo Sanghua—

Xie Lin was definitely not the right person for her.

"Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself. You promised me that if anything happens to Xie Lin, you'll pay with your life!" Huo Sanghua looked at Lu Ming's eyes, which were almost sunken in, and suddenly realized that he had almost been affected by him.

This person truly possesses a bewitching ability, able to see into people's hearts and amplify the emotions hidden deep within them.

Hey, she reacts quickly.

They didn't fall for the trap!

"What's there to worry about? It's not some rare disease. Even if it were, I could cure it with ease!" Lu Ming seemed extremely confident in his medical skills and had no concern whatsoever about paying for Xie Lin's life.

Standing confidently beside Hawthorne, she resembled a fox wagging its tail, waiting for praise.

"...Why do you know medicine?" Huo Sanghua asked curiously, remembering what he had said when they met in this mansion before.

He said he was Ah Sheng, and...

Her brother.

If that's true, they are both orphans rescued from the palace of the previous dynasty, and she has gone through many twists and turns to get to where she is today. What about him?

What did he go through?

Is his medical skill his means of self-preservation?

Seeing that Sang Hua was curious about him, Lu Ming shrugged, looking quite smug. "Do you want to know? Actually... it's simple. I lost my father when I was young and was forced to flee. I had no money and was hungry every day. I fled with other refugees. Later, I saw those people drinking dirty water and eating dirty things, getting infected with all kinds of epidemics that were incurable. They were pitifully lying on the roadside waiting to die... I wanted to do something meaningful, even if it was just to save lives."

Huo Sanghua listened attentively. It was undeniable that after learning the truth from Xie Hou, she paid more attention to Lu Ming.

"It was quite a coincidence. I happened to escape to a village that time, and followed an old man who was returning home late into the village. I sneaked into his house at night and rummaged through it for food... ...and he found me. I thought he would beat me up and kick me out like the others. But he didn't do that. He saw that I was very hungry, so he took out some food for me and asked if I wanted to learn medicine from him, so that I could at least fill my stomach with my own skills." He put his hands in his pockets and casually recounted the past.
