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

The Huo family tragedy of that year...

It is highly likely that it is related to His Majesty.

General Huo's connection to the former empress, who was trained in the same school, meant that he could not possibly escape unscathed from this power struggle.

But he also brought out the princes and the daughter of the former empress from the former dynasty's palace.

His Majesty wants to eliminate the remnants of the previous dynasty's royal family, and General Huo has hidden these children away. How could His Majesty let him go?

There must have been a wrong behind the tragic Huo family incident.

If Xie Lin is General Huo's biological son...

He was one of the four children that General Huo brought from the palace.

Lord Xie went to the Huo family to demand the return of the former dynasty's prince. General Huo, distrustful, disguised Xie Lin with his own child and handed him over to Lord Xie...

The real prince from the previous dynasty was likely sent elsewhere by General Huo.

Whether it was General Huo or Marquis Xie, they had both rebelled and overthrown the previous dynasty, and in each other's eyes, they were both people who had betrayed their junior sister. Naturally, they couldn't really trust each other much. Marquis Xie was not comfortable entrusting the former dynasty's prince to General Huo, and General Huo was not comfortable entrusting the former dynasty's prince to General Huo either.

And so, this whole thing happened...

What General Huo reluctantly handed over was actually his own biological son.

The real prince of the previous dynasty should have already been sent somewhere, arranged by General Huo...

"Then the people behind you... are they the ones who came to assassinate the eldest young master on your wedding night? Are they also involved in these matters?" Huo Sanghua finally understood. Those people must support Xie Lin and know Xie Lin's true identity.

Only by eliminating Xie Shu could Xie Lin, this "illegitimate son," have a chance to turn his life around in the Marquis of Anding's mansion. Only by letting Xie Lin inherit the Marquis of Anding's mansion could they use the name of "Marquis of Anding" to start a new rebellion and completely overturn the old case.

"Yes," Xie Lin admitted.

"What you wanted to hide from me before, what you hesitated to tell me, is this the thing?" Huo Sanghua seemed to understand why Xie Lin had pushed her away back then.

Xie Lin was carrying so much on his shoulders at the time, determined to overturn the Huo family's case and avenge the tragic deaths of the Huo clan. He didn't want to drag Huo Sanghua into it...

Even now, after they've discussed everything openly, he still doesn't want to implicate Hawthorne—

"What I'm about to do is fraught with peril, a near-certain death. It's destined to be a moth drawn to a flame, a gamble with everything. From the very beginning, I knew your initial wish was simply to leave this place, escape the chaos, and find a quiet place to live out your life peacefully... Therefore, I don't want anyone to suffer because of me..."

"What if I wanted to...?"

Even Hawthorne himself was stunned after saying that.

Perhaps this is her truest thought.

Xie Lin was taken aback, and after a long pause, he slowly reached out and gently grasped Sang Hua's shoulder, "...You could have had a better life."

“But I’m already involved,” Hawthorne said. “From the very beginning, I couldn’t escape. Fate gave me a second chance, a second chance, and I originally wanted to find a safe place to end my days. But if it’s really… if everything is really as we suspect, I’m not General Huo’s daughter, but I’m also the person General Huo risked everything to save from the palace… He suffered injustice and his family died tragically, so I should do my part for him. And for myself, I also want to know, who am I, who are my parents, who is my mother… ”

Thanks to the Huo family's name, she managed to live a peaceful life in the palace for many years.

She was always thought to be the only orphan of the Huo family, whose entire family was murdered overnight, leaving her as the sole survivor. She had thought she was all alone in the world. Although she had the desire for revenge, she simply didn't have the ability. She just wanted to live a good life on her own, which would be a way of being worthy of her family.

until... ...

Everything goes through cycles; her tragic death on her wedding night marks the beginning of her rebirth.

This brought together people who were originally connected to the Huo family's old case...

She is not... ...the orphan of the Huo family.

She is very likely the daughter of the former empress, whom General Huo rescued from the palace years ago. Everything revolves around her fate, and the Huo family's old case also stems from her and her brother. She can no longer pretend nothing happened...

“What can I do?” she asked.

In my memory, there's a blurry image of General Huo; I can't remember it clearly anymore. She was too young when the Huo family's old case occurred...

“You… ……” Xie Lin was at a loss. He didn’t want to involve Huo Sanghua in the first place. He had said so much to her, hoping that she would understand the gravity of these matters and not get involved anymore.

Thinking that with her personality, she might back down after finding out about these things and stay far away from me from now on.

There's no need to take any risks...

But now, she feels obligated to get involved.

"I can also help find the truth and do what I can," Huo Sanghua said, making arrangements on her own. "Finding the truth won't be easy; otherwise, you would have discovered much more over the years. I'm willing to help you find the real culprit who harmed the Huo family... And as for Sister Si, I believe she trusts me even more. Asking her will make it easier to find out the truth. And Ah Sheng... Lu Ming, I should be able to gain their trust more easily than you. If everyone has returned here for the same purpose, who knows... That's why I was able to be reborn..."

"Fine," Xie Lin conceded. He knew it was impossible to get Huo Sanghua to give up now. "But you have to promise me one thing: if we encounter danger and I tell you to evacuate, you must obey me. If I tell you to leave, you must leave..."

"... ...good."

Hawthorne agreed.

"Second Madam," Wu Tong called from outside the door, "the eldest young master has sent someone to invite you to the Marquis's study."

As she spoke, Wutong stared nervously at the newcomer.

She had seen this person appear with Liao Bin before. So many things had happened recently. The Marquis of Anding's mansion seemed peaceful, but in reality, there was nothing that made her feel at ease. She was afraid of ending up like Qinghuai, so she was naturally being extra careful.

"The young master wants me to go over?" Huo Sanghua suddenly came to his senses, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Don't panic," Xie Lin reminded her, "He doesn't know what we were just talking about..."

“But the person who heard me talk about rebirth earlier might be the eldest young master.” Huo Sanghua recalled carefully that the person behind the screen that day had a figure that was very similar to Xie Shu. Since that person was not Xie Lin, it was very likely that it was Xie Shu.

“It’s possible.” Xie Lin also felt that it was more likely to be his older brother. He just didn’t understand why his older brother had never asked him about it if he had overheard what Sang Hua said back then. “However, I think that your older brother called you over this time to ask about Lu Ming. Think about what to say first, and don’t give yourself away in front of your older brother.”
