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

Hawthorne wasn't stupid either.

Xie Lin's tone was so ambiguous that she instantly understood his meaning, and her face turned even redder.

She swallowed hard, feigning anger, and said, "It might hurt a little, just bear with it... Don't say anything more, turn away, don't bother me."

He reached out and turned Xie Lin's face towards him, his fingers accidentally touching Xie Lin's lips.

Naturally, she also noticed Xie Lin's meaningful smile...

I tried to remain calm, but my hands were shaking violently.

While Xie Lin was ready, Huo Sanghua quickly applied the medicinal powder.

“Hmm… …” Xie Lin murmured softly.

"How are you? Does it hurt a lot?" Hawthorne was still a little worried.

That powder can stop bleeding and reduce inflammation.

It is an excellent medicine for wounds.

However, some of these medicines are extremely potent and can cause bleeding and healing.

Pain is inevitable.

Xie Lin was prepared when the ointment was applied, but he was still stung quite badly, sweating profusely from the pain. He felt an intense burning sensation in the wound, as if it were burning through his skin.

Gradually, the wound became numb.

The medicine seemed to be working; I gradually adapted, and the pain lessened...

He took a deep breath and calmed down. "I won't die."

Hawthorne was finally relieved.

She gently pressed the handkerchief, got up, and went to get gauze to wrap it around his neck.

Those slightly cool fingers brushed against Xie Lin's skin, and Xie Lin trembled slightly, as if he had regained consciousness.

I took another deep breath...

Something was stuck in his throat. He swallowed hard and suddenly felt a sharp panic.

Hawthorne wrapped gauze around his body.

Sometimes close, sometimes distant...

She walked around to Xie Lin's front, studying how to secure the gauze firmly. The moment she got close to Xie Lin, he could smell the faint fragrance in her hair.

It tastes like mint.

Suddenly they distanced themselves again, circling around behind...

She felt inexplicably uncomfortable, and even the hand she was using to tie the bandage was trembling involuntarily.

I just feel... ...

Xie Lin's body seemed to be getting hotter and hotter.

I'm starting to feel like something's not right...

"Alright, then I'll go first..." Huo Sanghua hurriedly finished what he was doing and got up to leave.

Xie Lin scooped her up with his large hand, grabbing her slender waist and pulling her back!

Before she could react, she was already nestled in Xie Lin's arms.

"You... what are you doing..." Hawthorne panicked completely.

Her cheeks turned bright red, and she wanted to run away but couldn't.

Xie Lin, shirtless, looked down at her, trapping her in his arms, with the soft bed beneath them.

With just a slight shift of her gaze, Hawthorne could clearly see Xie Lin's pectoral muscles.

She realized something was wrong and quickly looked away...

Then, she met Xie Lin's eyes. "You..."

Xie Lin braced himself against her on the couch, and seeing her flustered yet shy appearance, he suddenly felt his mouth go dry.

His gaze lingered on her flushed cheeks for a moment before settling on her delicate red lips and teeth.

she... ...

It looks delicious.

"Xie Lin, you can't..."

Hawthorne hadn't finished speaking when he was stunned...

Xie Lin actually kissed her.

Xie Lin's lips pressed against hers...

He actually...

She actually... doesn't dislike me.

A strong wave of dizziness washed over me, the air seemed to freeze, our breaths mingled on our lips, and our hearts pounded wildly, as if they were about to leap out of our chests.

"I'm not your brother..." In a daze, Xie Lin whispered something in her ear.

“I… I know…” Hawthorne murmured.

Then, continue.

He haphazardly tore open her clothes, but then Xie Lin suddenly stopped.

Hawthorne opened her eyes... ..."What's wrong?"

"It...it hurts a little."

"...How painful is it?"

"It might hurt a little... ...just bear with it..."

"Hmm..."

Birds flew past the window, and the moonlight was alluring.

Flower buds are beginning to bloom on the branches, creating a serene and beautiful scene under the moonlight.

Xie Shugang had just returned from outside when he encountered his father waiting there in the courtyard. He was somewhat surprised and unconsciously slowed his pace, then quickened his pace to walk forward, "Father."

Lord Xie could smell a faint scent of alcohol on him. "Have you been drinking?"

"I only had a little, but the Marquis of Qingyang invited me, so I had to go," Xie Shu said.

There are many interactions among the powerful and influential people in Shengjing. If everyone who wants to enter is turned away, the Marquis of Anding's mansion will inevitably be isolated in the future. In the long run, there may not even be anyone in the court to speak up for it.

It's definitely not a good thing.

Therefore, Xie Shu would also make polite interactions with those who were on good terms with the Marquis of Anding's family.

I was invited to have a couple of drinks.

Lord Xie knew his intentions, "I'll have the kitchen prepare some soup to help you sober up."

"Father." Xie Shu called out to his father, who was about to leave, his expression unchanged despite the slight smell of alcohol. "Father, you must have come so late for something. Why don't you just tell your son what's on your mind?"

"..." Lord Xie seemed a little embarrassed.

Just as Xie Shu guessed, he had indeed come looking for something.

She never expected to be greeted by her son returning from a social engagement. Thinking of how hard Shu'er had worked for the family, she couldn't bear to ask him to do anything more.

"Father, is it because of A-Lin?" Xie Shu saw through his father's thoughts and asked with relief.

Lord Xie acquiesced.

“Father, don’t worry. Ah Lin’s injuries aren’t particularly serious. It’s just that the hidden weapon that hit him was unusual, so his flesh and skin will suffer a bit. I believe that with some rest, he will definitely recover.” To reassure his father, Xie Shu added, “I have a friend who is particularly skilled in medicine. With him treating Ah Lin, I believe Ah Lin will recover even faster.”

Lord Xie nodded.

He reached out and patted Xie Shu on the shoulder. "I know, I've always trusted you."

Upon receiving his father's praise, Xie Shu showed a rare smile.

"Actually, I'm worried..." Lord Xie was preoccupied with his thoughts. After thinking for a long time, he still felt it was more appropriate to entrust this matter to Xie Shu. "The assassin that day. If Ah Lin hadn't blocked it, the hidden weapon would have been aimed at Sang Hua, based on its original trajectory."

Fortunately, Xie Lin discovered it in time.

Otherwise, if that hidden weapon had been aimed at Sang Hua, it would have been a fatal blow.

“I originally thought it would be safest to leave Sang Hua in the palace, but I never expected that someone would want to take her life. It seems that she has been targeted, and there will probably be many attacks in the future. You need to make more careful arrangements and determine the origin and identity of everyone around her one by one…” Lord Xie was worried that Sang Hua had been exposed.

Therefore, there will be more assassinations like this in the future.

I'm afraid it won't be like this time... ...that she escaped so easily.

"Son understands, son... will keep a closer eye on... the people around her." Xie Shu had doubts in his heart, "Father, it seems you know something. Could there be another reason why Sang Hua was attacked this time?"

"Another reason?" Lord Xie was stunned. "What did you find out?"

"Yes." Xie Shu told her father about some of her previous suspicions, including that the assassins who tried to kill Sang Hua were sent by Consort Qi and the Fourth Prince.

They wanted Sang Hua to die in the Xie family's household so they could use this to blackmail the Xie family and turn them into their puppets.
