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

"Why would you suddenly ask that?"

Hawthorne was somewhat puzzled by his question, not knowing what he wanted to ask.

"Why me?" After spending several days together, Xie Lin grew increasingly suspicious. Although he didn't want to suspect Huo Sanghua, the evidence before him seemed to suggest that Huo Sanghua's appearance was no accident. "Did you already know... that I'm not my older brother, when we first met?"

Looking back now, Hawthorne did indeed reveal many flaws that day, but he never considered those...

He always thought that no one would know that he had accidentally impersonated his elder brother to attend the meeting that day, and even if the Fourth Prince found out about it later, it would be afterward.

But looking back now, Hawthorne's reaction that day might...

When they met, he already knew that the man had impersonated his elder brother.

He was increasingly puzzled. If Huo Sanghua knew about this, why didn't she tell the Fourth Prince? Why did she publicly declare... that she wanted to marry him?

How could a young girl who had always stayed in the palace know something that even the Fourth Prince didn't?

Moreover, at the time, only my eldest brother knew about this matter, and at most, three people including Liao Bin. My eldest brother didn't want to get involved in the struggle for the princes, which is why he sent him to the appointment in his place to ruin the matchmaking. He would never have told anyone else about the original plan.

Liao Bin was the eldest brother's confidant, and what the eldest brother didn't want others to know couldn't possibly have come from Liao Bin's mouth.

And he... ...

I'm also quite certain that I haven't revealed it to anyone.

How did Hawthorne... know that?

Huo Sanghua was determined to leave the palace, but now that he thinks about it, it doesn't seem to be what he initially guessed—that he simply had a premonition of the mystery surrounding his origins and feared it would bring him death. She... seems to know something he doesn't.

And that Lu Ming... ...

Lu Ming's appearance disturbed him, disrupting his original rhythm.

He didn't understand what was going on either.

To him, Lu Ming was nothing. Even if Lu Ming was somewhat suspicious, it shouldn't affect his plans.

But now, he can no longer ignore the various intimate gestures between Lu Ming and Huo Sanghua.

What exactly is the relationship between the two of them?

"Yes." Huo Sanghua answered frankly, without hiding anything from Xie Lin. She thought that on the first day of their marriage, she had already told Xie Lin about her rebirth after dying on her previous wedding night, "Because the person I was looking for last time was also you. But at that time I believed it, thinking that you were Xie Shu from the Marquis of Anding's mansion, the eldest son of the Xie family, and the person the Fourth Prince originally wanted me to look for."

Xie Lin frowned, not quite understanding what Huo Sanghua meant.

What do you mean by "last time"?

"As I told you, in my previous life, I thought the person I was being matched with was the one the Fourth Prince wanted me to be matched with. I thought it was all just a formality. The Fourth Prince had arranged everything, but he was worried that if he got too close to me, His Majesty would suspect that he intended to seize the throne. So he discussed it with the Xie family and arranged for me to marry into the Xie family..." Huo Sanghua felt strange. She had clearly told Xie Lin about this, so why was Xie Lin's expression so strange, as if he was hearing it for the first time?

"In my previous life..." Xie Lin felt a chill run down his spine, finding it utterly absurd, but after repeatedly confirming Huo Sanghua's reaction, he didn't believe Huo Sanghua was lying. "You told me these things? When?"

Huo Sanghua felt a chill run down her spine. Xie Lin's attitude didn't seem fake... So she tentatively said, "On the second day after the wedding, so many things happened on the wedding night. I told you about them when I was changing behind the screen the next day."

As he spoke, he turned around and pointed to the screen that was still placed to the side.

That day, behind this screen, she was changing clothes, and through the screen, she saw Xie Lin standing outside...

"But I didn't hear it." Xie Lin's expression turned serious. Recalling that day, he did remember something similar happening... ...However... ..."I was out at that time. Could it be that you said those things when I went out?"

He also couldn't tell Hawthorne why he had sneaked out at that time.

I just didn't expect that after he went out...

"That's not right." Hawthorne was startled and quickly said, "Back then, through the screen, I clearly saw... saw someone outside. I thought it was you..."

Under those circumstances, there were only the two of them in the room, and she didn't know that Xie Lin had gone out, so she naturally assumed that the person standing outside the screen was Xie Lin.

There was clearly a human figure.

As she spoke, she walked behind the screen and recalled that moment.

Xie Lin also propped himself up and walked outside the screen...

The two stood facing each other across the screen, and could vaguely see each other's shadows through the screen.

Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a soft, golden glow into the room.

"......it's not you."

Hawthorne realized with a start that Xie Lin's shadow seemed to resemble the one she had seen that day...

They are not the same!

The person she met that day was not Xie Lin!

Who...? She mistook him for Xie Lin's person back then, but who was it...?

Who listened to what she said?

what to do... ...

She told everything at the time...

That person knew all her secrets.

"Don't panic." Xie Lin realized the seriousness of the situation. It seemed that someone had entered the room after he left, and Huo Sanghua had mistaken him for him, which was why he had said some things... "Think carefully about what you said to him at the time."

Did they say anything particularly important?

"I already told him... I told him I was reborn. In my previous life, it was the same. Arranged by the Fourth Prince, I married into the Xie family, but I married your eldest brother, Xie Shu... Then, on our wedding night, an assassination attempt occurred at the Xie family. I escaped, only to witness your brother's murder, and then... I was also silenced. When I woke up again, I was back before the day I first met you..."

Hawthorne felt uneasy; she didn't know who had heard these words.

So many days have passed, why is there still no reaction?

If what Xie Lin had heard earlier had already deeply shocked him, then what he heard now would shake him for a long time to come. "...Are you serious?"

A tragic death on her wedding night? Reborn...

So, the reason Hawthorne recognized him during the matchmaking was because it was him she had chosen in her previous life, but she ended up marrying his elder brother by mistake, and then...

"Do you still remember who killed my elder brother in my previous life?" Xie Lin asked warily.

He seemed very concerned about how much Hawthorne remembered about his "previous life".
