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

However, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.

Xie Lin, who was eavesdropping in the shadows, felt increasingly uneasy.

Recalling the words the maids jokingly said—

It seems that before Sang Hua appeared, the eldest brother had never shown such concern for anyone.

In his memory, his elder brother was stern and straightforward.

I've never paid particular attention to any woman.

Not to mention the old lady, even he couldn't help but wonder if his elder brother's aloofness from women was really... due to some special problem.

But then Sang Hua appeared...

His first meeting with Sang Hua was because his elder brother had something urgent to attend to and coerced him into pretending to go and meet Sang Hua.

In fact, regardless of the outcome of the matchmaking that day, the eldest brother knew that in the end, he would marry Huo Sanghua as the Fourth Prince and Consort Qi wished, so the matchmaking process was not important.

At that time, the eldest brother should have treated Sang Hua "equally".

So when exactly did things start to change?

The fourth prince brought Sang Hua to his door. When Sang Hua grabbed him and declared that she wanted to marry him, the old lady and her eldest brother were both there.

When the old lady heard that Sang Hua was going to marry him instead of his older brother, she was overjoyed. What was the older brother's reaction at that time?

Xie Lin didn't remember much; at the time, he was only thinking about how to escape and didn't pay much attention to his older brother's reaction.

Several times when he looked at his elder brother, it was for help, hoping that his elder brother could stand up for him and save him from marrying Hawthorne.

Can... ...

That should have been the first time Sang Hua and her elder brother met, and there was probably nothing between them...

Xie Lin remembered running away from his wedding several times, but he was always caught by traps set by his older brother. He begged his brother to let him go, but at that time his brother seemed to say...

What did I say?

Xie Lin didn't remember much, but vaguely recalling it, he felt that things had changed around that time. His older brother seemed to care more about Sang Hua's feelings, so he ordered him... ...not to embarrass Sang Hua.

Before the marriage, according to the old lady's wishes, she originally planned to find someone to arrange the wedding for him and Sang Hua.

It is said that the eldest brother took on the task himself and even went to the palace to exchange his and Sang Hua's birth dates with the fourth prince and set a wedding date.

If the eldest brother had already developed feelings for Sang Hua at that time, then why did he have to push the marriage forward and force him to marry Sang Hua?

Could it be...?

On the night of the wedding?

Xie Lin suddenly remembered that on the night of their wedding, an assassin kidnapped Sang Hua and took her out of the city. At that time, for some reason, his elder brother and Sang Hua were together. When Sang Hua was kidnapped, his elder brother chased after her to the outside of the city and was injured in the process.

When he and Liao Bin found their elder brother, Sang Hua, Sang Hua was somewhat flustered, her hair disheveled...

The hem of the wedding dress was also tattered...

And the eldest brother... looked like he had just crawled out of the water, his whole body was soaking wet.

What happened?

Xie Lin had harbored suspicions from the beginning, but out of trust in his elder brother and Sang Hua, he felt nothing could have happened between them. Now, however, there were indeed many suspicious points...

For example, why would the older brother fall into the water when he was perfectly fine?

If they were attacked by assassins, why did the elder brother, who was skilled in martial arts, fall into the water, while Sang Hua was unharmed?

Why did Sang Hua react that way at the time?

But what exactly happened...?

Why did the eldest brother's attitude towards Sang Hua change from that point on?

More... ...care?

Although he initially agreed to rescue Sang Hua from the palace out of pity, he worried that he couldn't fully protect her within the Xie family, so he asked his elder brother to help take care of her...

Was it really because of his request that his elder brother took such good care of Sang Hua?

Although Xie Lin didn't know what exactly happened between his elder brother and Sang Hua on their wedding night, he realized that something must have happened that night.

My older brother was seriously injured that night and was rescued by Liao Bin. It seems that to find out what happened between my older brother and Sang Hua, we first need to understand the extent of his injuries that night...

into the night.

Huo Sanghua gritted her teeth and changed Xie Lin's dressing.

The doctor only entrusted this matter to her, and she couldn't ask anyone else to do it, as this would expose the possibility of her fake marriage with Xie Lin.

Now that things have come to this, all we can do is...

Xie Lin didn't care. When she came in with medicine and gauze, he started taking off his clothes right in front of her.

"What are you doing!" Hawthorne shouted anxiously.

Xie Lin was taken aback. "Weren't you going to change my dressing?"

"..." She looked down at the thing in her hand and then remembered why she had come.

That's right, she was going to change Xie Lin's dressing...

Thinking about it, I'm really pathetic. It seems like from the very first night I married into the Xie family, I've been applying medicine to other people's wounds...

"It's not like we haven't seen it before," Xie Lin complained casually, feeling that she really didn't need to make such a fuss.

Huo Sanghua's face instantly turned ashen, and he immediately recalled the scene on their wedding night when he changed Xie Shu's dressing... "What did you say!"

Did Xie Lin find out?

Xie Lin clearly hadn't expected such a strong reaction from her. "Didn't you say you took care of me last night? I was unconscious at the time, and when I woke up, my clothes were off and I was wrapped in bandages. Who else could it be but you!"

There couldn't be anyone else but her, could there?

To think that she had seen him naked while he was unconscious...

It made him feel a little embarrassed.

Did she really... only look at his upper body?

Could it be that they took advantage of him while he was unconscious...?

Xie Lin grew increasingly uneasy, glancing down at himself... thinking, "It shouldn't be like this..."

That's hard to say; she's not a good person either.

Hawthorne instantly realized her misunderstanding and quickly shut her mouth to avoid accidentally revealing what had happened that night... "I understand! Well... applying the medicine is fine, turn around..."

She turned Xie Lin's body around and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Her heart was pounding wildly, so hard... ...and her ears felt burning hot.

Slowly, they unwrapped the gauze from Xie Lin's body and gently peeled off the medicine applied to his wounds...

He frowned.

The wound was clearly visible.

It was...it was so terrifying...

I can't imagine what would have happened if that arrow had hit her.

I'm afraid she won't have a chance to wake up like Xie Lin did.

Such a serious injury...

Following the doctor's instructions, Hawthorne carefully wiped away the bruises around the wound with clean water from a basin, and then applied the medicinal powder to a towel.

But she stopped just before applying the ointment to Xie Lin's wound.

I hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't make up my mind... Just looking at it makes me feel so bad.

"What's wrong?" Xie Lin asked, turning his head to look at her, not knowing what she was daydreaming about behind him.

"It will... it will hurt a little," Hawthorne warned cautiously. The wound showed exposed flesh and blood, some scabs, but it was still a blurry mess.

Applying this powder all at once will definitely be extremely painful.

To her surprise, Xie Lin's expression changed drastically upon hearing her words... ...then, he let out a strange, barely suppressed laugh, "How much does it hurt?"
