Reborn as a concubine's daughter and entering a noble family: Xie Lang, don't be too seduc
Chapter 19 Hawthorne's Counterattack
Before dawn, Huo Sanghua was woken up by Ruan Wei and others. Yawning, she sat down in front of the dressing mirror and let the maids from Yaohua Palace do her makeup.
The enormous crown pressed down on his head, instantly making him much more awake!
My neck is about to break!
Yunqiao retrieved her wedding dress. As she passed behind her, Huo Sanghua looked up and saw Yunqiao through the reflection in the bronze mirror. Yunqiao's gritted teeth were clearly reflected in the mirror, and she said very rudely, "I left the wedding dress here."
Ruan Wei turned around and looked at her, slightly dissatisfied with her tone.
However, because Hawthorne was getting married today, and they didn't want to cause any trouble, they didn't blame her.
"Wait." Seeing Yunqiao about to leave, Huo Sanghua called out to her, "I need to change my clothes right now, could you bring me my wedding dress?"
"you--"
Yunqiao was angry and asked her to help Huo Sanghua change her clothes.
Could it be that Hawthorne really mistook her for a servant in the palace?
Because Ruan Wei was present, Yun Qiao couldn't lash out in front of him, so she had to swallow her anger for the time being and walked up to Huo Sanghua with the wedding dress in her arms.
With a half-smile, she inwardly cursed Huo Sanghua, wishing she would be disliked by her husband and harassed by her mother-in-law after marriage. "Then please, Miss Huo, change your clothes!"
Huo Sanghua scrutinized her expression and laughed disdainfully in front of Yun Tiao.
Yunqiao's face instantly fell down—
She knew this was Hawthorne's way of putting her in a difficult position, a mockery! Enraged, she snapped, "What are you laughing at!"
Huo Sanghua feigned surprise, "Sister Yunqiao, what's wrong? Today is a joyous occasion for me, why can't I smile?"
"Yunqiao, what are you doing?" Ruan Wei couldn't stand it anymore. Ever since Yunqiao came in, she had been deliberately picking a fight.
She had also heard about what Yunqiao had done to Huo Sanghua.
On a day like today, Yunqiao's every word and action represents Yaohua Palace.
She couldn't stand by and watch Yunqiao do something shameful, embarrassing Consort Qi and the Fourth Prince.
"I didn't, it was her—" Yunqiao pointed at Huo Sanghua and complained to Ruan Wei. "She mocked me!"
Ruan Wei glanced at Huo Sanghua but didn't see anything wrong with it.
He sternly reprimanded Yunqiao, "Today is Miss Huo's wedding day. Even if she smiles, it may not be for you. Don't be ashamed! If you do anything to bring shame to Yaohua Palace, I will not let you off easily! Do you understand?!"
"... ...yes."
Despite her immense resentment, Yunqiao dared not be presumptuous in front of Ruanwei.
He obediently agreed, but secretly glared at Hawthorne.
The maid beside him saw this scene and, fearing trouble, quickly averted her gaze.
Huo Sanghua wanted to provoke her, so while Ruan Wei was helping her change, she carefully said... "Sister Yunqiao is so fierce, I don't dare to laugh anymore."
After hearing this, Ruan Wei comforted her and told her not to worry about those things.
"Miss Huo, today is your big day. Don't worry about things that aren't worth it and ruin your good mood."
These words made Hawthorne feel pleased.
This made Yunqiao feel extremely ashamed and she hated Huo Sanghua even more for being a thorn in her side!
“... Ouch!” As Ruan Wei helped Huo Sanghua put on her wedding dress, her hand brushed against the exquisite embroidery, when she was suddenly pricked. When she looked up, her fingers were already stained with bright red blood.
"This is!"
The maids behind him were terrified.
Yunshao's eyes widened immediately. "How could this be? I clearly..."
It's been checked!
She had checked everything carefully; there was absolutely no way anything could have happened... ... No, it was Huo Sanghua! Yunqiao realized that the only person who could have tampered with the wedding dress in such a short time was Huo Sanghua!
"Don't move." Seeing that Huo Sanghua was about to step forward to check on her, Ruan Wei stopped her. "Qingji, Qingai, carefully check Miss Huo's wedding dress, especially the embroidered parts."
The maidservant named Qingji and Qingai stepped forward and carefully inspected the wedding dress.
Eight more embroidery needles were found on the wedding dress that Yunqiao had just sent.
Including the one Ruan Wei just found, there are exactly nine!
Knowing she had been tricked by Hawthorne, Yunqiao had no time to explain and was speechless. She knelt down with a thud in front of him. "It wasn't me—"
"Sang Hua".
Li Lang suddenly entered the room, clutching a small brocade box in his hand.
And that's what we saw!
The smile that had just been on her face vanished instantly, and her heart tightened. "What's wrong?"
Ruan Wei gave Qing Ji and Qing Ai a meaningful look. Qing Ji put away all the embroidery needles and presented them to Li Lang. Li Lang's expression changed instantly.
Seeing his expression.
Ruan Wei explained politely, "Your Highness, these were just found in Miss Huo's wedding dress, there are nine in total."
Li Lang stared at the embroidery needle in Qing Ji's hand for a long while, then looked up at Sang Hua's bright red wedding dress...
"Your Highness! It wasn't me, it wasn't me!" Yunqiao crawled towards Li Lang, tugging at his clothes and crying out her innocence, "It wasn't me, it was Huo Sanghua! Huo Sanghua is trying to frame me! You must do justice for me!"
Ruan Wei said, "Yunqiao, what you're saying doesn't make sense. Today is Miss Huo's wedding day, why would she put nine embroidery needles in her own wedding dress to frame you?"
"Sanghua, what's going on?" Li Lang asked Huo Sanghua, bypassing Ruan Wei.
“Your Highness,” Ruan Wei continued, “the palace maids register with the head eunuch when they receive embroidery needles. Your Highness might as well check who has received embroidery needles and then verify whether the embroidery needles they received are still there. Wouldn’t that answer the question?”
Li Lang withdrew his questioning gaze and glared angrily at Yun Tiao.
He seemed to have already determined the owner of these embroidery needles...
"No, that's not it!" Yunqiao was speechless. The embroidery needle was indeed hers, but this time, what had harmed Huo Sanghua was...
Not her!
But she couldn't explain to them how her embroidery needles ended up in Hawthorne's hands.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Huo Sanghua remained expressionless as he watched Yun Tiao plead desperately.
I originally intended to let Yunshao go.
Unfortunately, Yunqiao instigated Consort Qi to try and trap her in a mess, almost causing her to lose her way.
She had warned Yunqiao, but Yunqiao brought it upon herself!
In her previous life, she treated Yunqiao as her best friend. Even when Yunqiao bullied her occasionally, she foolishly endured it because she was worried that Yunqiao would be punished.
That's why they ended up causing us so much harm.
So this time, she had no intention of letting Yunshao off the hook.
"Guards!" Li Lang roared in fury, "Drag her... ...take her away!"
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please don't..."
No matter how hard Yunchao screamed, she couldn't break free from the guards Li Lang brought and was dragged out of the door. Her cries echoed in the courtyard, sounding extremely jarring.
Li Lang slowly walked up to Huo Sanghua, his heart heavy with sorrow.
Remembering what Hawthorne had said to him that day, he suddenly understood...
It turns out that all these years, what he thought was a life of luxury was actually like this for Hawthorne!
"Sanghua, don't worry. Once this matter is over, Brother Lang will definitely investigate it thoroughly and give you an explanation." He held Huo Sanghua's shoulder, comforting her with deep affection.
"Never mind, it doesn't matter anymore." Huo Sanghua said dismissively, pulling away from Li Lang's grasp. "It's not the first time you've heard what she did to me. If she really wanted to control me, she wouldn't be treating me so badly now."
She calmly sat back down in front of the vanity mirror.
Swallowing became incredibly difficult for Li Lang; Sang Hua's words choked him, leaving him unable to reply. "Sang Hua..."
"Your Highness, we servants are about to do Miss Huo's makeup. The bridal sedan chair should be arriving soon," Ruan Wei reminded him.
With so many eyes watching, his every move will be reported.
"Let them wait!" Li Lang finally roared, hysterically!
Only now do I realize that his little Sanghua is truly leaving him...
Ruan Wei gave Qingji and Qingai a meaningful look, and the maids in the room silently retreated to the side.
“Sanghua, your brother Lang found you a… a really beautiful bracelet. Try it on…” Li Lang suppressed his displeasure and proudly took out the brocade box hidden behind his back, opening it in front of Huo Sanghua.
A jade bracelet, pea-green in color and translucent and lustrous, appeared before Hawthorne's eyes.
Ignoring Huo Sanghua's objections, Li Lang grabbed her wrist and forced the bracelet onto it.
Not only did he hurt Huo Sanghua, but his fair wrist was also red. He held Huo Sanghua's hand tightly and was unwilling to let go for a long time.
His eyes were fixed on the jade bracelet he had specially found for Sang Hua, and he murmured, "...Wear this and wait for me at the Xie family home. One day, I will bring you back from the Xie family. Then, we will never be separated again..."
