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

"...Don't you have anything to ask me?"

Si Qingyue turned to the side and asked Huo Sanghua, who was applying medicine to her.

When Hawthorne saw her wound just now, he asked what happened, but now he's silent.

Si Qingyue guessed that she probably already had the answer.

The white powder was evenly sprinkled on the wound, immediately turning it bright red, and the bleeding stopped quickly.

Huo Sanghua tore off a strip of her wedding dress and carefully bandaged Si Qingyue's wound. "You're dressed like this, and you're injured, hiding in my bridal chamber... If I ask, would you tell me?"

It's unlikely that they came because of the groom, Xie Lin. Who would dress in the dark to abduct a bride?

The injury looks quite serious.

It's easy to imagine that a fierce battle must have taken place beforehand. Who injured her, and why did she hide in the bridal chamber...?

The answer is obvious.

Hawthorne is preoccupied tonight.

She knew what was going to happen, but when Si Qingyue appeared injured, she was still caught off guard.

She feared that Si Qingyue was the murderer who attacked Xie Shu on their wedding night in her past life...

No, but the body shape is wrong.

Although the impression isn't very deep, I vaguely remember that there were several men...

"If you ask, perhaps I will tell you," Si Qingyue said softly and casually, waiting for Huo Sanghua to finish bandaging her wounds before immediately putting her clothes back on.

Huo Sanghua was stunned for a moment, looking at Si Qingyue in disbelief.

He pondered to himself, what exactly did Si Qingyue mean by what she just said?

If she asked, would Si Qingyue really tell her? "Then..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Suddenly, I heard a noise outside the door.

Si Qingyue had a bad feeling. "They've found us."

"Who?" Hawthorne asked instinctively.

Before Si Qingyue could answer, she had already lifted her skirt and walked to the door, peeking into the courtyard through the crack in the door—

They were surprised to find Xie Shu leading a group of people, searching the courtyard.

Xie Shu?!

Then he turned to look at Si Qingyue, who was sitting on the bed...

Could it be...?!

Perhaps sensing some faint movement inside, Xie Shu hesitated, her heart filled with even more unease. If she knocked on the newlyweds' door now, what if she stumbled upon something...?

It's hard to say.

If they don't check, the assassin might be hiding inside, and Hawthorne, who had just warned him to be careful, could be in danger!

After a moment's hesitation, he stopped Liao Bin from going forward to search in his place and stepped towards the door...

"Oh no, sister, you should hide first." Huo Sanghua immediately turned back to Si Qingyue, intending to protect her.

Si Qingyue simply tilted her head, knowing from the approaching footsteps—

It's Xie Shu!

Hiding now is useless.

Once Xie Shu's men have searched the area, no matter where she hides, she will definitely be found...

Suddenly, his gaze fell on Hawthorne in front of him, and a plan formed in his mind.

With a playful smile on his lips, he wrapped his arm around Huo Sanghua's delicate waist and left a mark on her slender neck.

He casually removed Hawthorne's hair bun.

Long hair fell down...

Xie Shu had already knocked on the door.

"Go open the door a crack and quietly tell him you've already gone to sleep," Si Qingyue whispered to him.

Seeing Huo Sanghua in this state, Xie Shu would naturally not want to go into the house to search anymore.

Hawthorne was still reeling from what had just happened. She blankly touched her neck, her face flushed, and opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word. It wasn't until she heard Xie Shu knocking on the door that she regained her composure...

With difficulty, I moved to the door and, as Si Qingyue had instructed, opened it... just a crack.

Her eyes were lowered, and she dared not look at Xie Shu's face.

"...Assassins have broken into the manor, and we are searching the entire place. Do you have anything here...?"

Xie Shu spoke casually, glancing inside through the half-open door.

As he spoke, his gaze returned to what was in front of him—

On Hawthorne.

Immediately, one could see the long hair hanging down on her fair, smooth skin, half-covering... ...that mark.

That was clearly... ...

A hickey?!

Never before had he been in such a dilemma!

A surge of anger welled up inside me, but I couldn't find a reason to vent it.

It was Xie Lin who did it...

The bridal chamber, the newlyweds... ...The woman before me, Hawthorne, looked like a shy bride, her long hair loose. Was she about to rest?

And this mark... ...

The hand that had been pressing against the door was gradually withdrawn.

He secretly kept an eye on the guards behind him.

At this point, a search is no longer appropriate.

Xie Shuqiang suppressed a nameless rage and asked in a controlled tone, "Are you alone in the room?"

“... ...he, he... ..." Huo Sanghua wondered whether he should mention Xie Lin’s drinking trip with his brothers.

If she were alone in the new house, wouldn't it be even more worrying if an "assassin" broke in?

"Alright," Xie Shu interrupted, regardless of whether Xie Lin was inside or not...

Perhaps...

What he really didn't want to hear was—

Xie Lin is inside.

Hawthorne quietly breathed a sigh of relief. "If there's nothing else, I'll go rest now..."

As she spoke, she gently closed the door, which had been half-opened.

Lying to his face and protecting what could very well be the "assassin" Xie Shu was searching for—Huo Sanghua's heart was pounding!

Fortunately...

Fortunately, Xie Shu didn't think too much about it!

Outside the door, Liao Bin saw that the door was already closed, but his young master was still standing there, seemingly lost in thought...

He glanced around and noticed that the way the people below looked at the young master had changed, as if they were afraid that more rumors would spread.

He stepped forward in a few strides and interrupted, "Young Master—"

Xie Shu immediately understood his meaning and came to her senses.

"Since there's nothing here, let's search elsewhere!"

Hearing the person outside walk away, Hawthorne let out a long sigh of relief. "That scared me to death."

Seeing her timid appearance, Si Qingyue couldn't help but laugh and teased, "You're so timid, yet you dared to venture into the Xie family's place. Do you know what kind of den of dragons and tigers this is? It's nothing like life in the palace. Why bother?"

One sentence instantly enlightened Hawthorne.

I can't help but worry about what's to come...

But as soon as she was lost in thought, she remembered smelling Xie Lin's scent on Si Qingyue...

Si Qingyue is now being investigated by Xie Shu.

And by sheer coincidence, they ended up in Xie Lin's new house...

Huo Sanghua seemed to have confirmed in his heart the relationship between Si Qingyue and Xie Lin.

She said, "Xie Lin and I are not really married. I just used him to leave the palace... We agreed that a year later he would find an excuse to help me leave the Xie family, and then we would have no relationship anymore."

She didn't want to become a misunderstanding between Si Qingyue and Xie Lin.

So today, in front of Si Qingyue, I brought up my agreement with Xie Lin.

Si Qingyue was also taken aback.

Then he understood what Hawthorne had misunderstood. "Why are you telling me this? You think I have something to do with that Xie Erlang...?"

The words stopped abruptly.

Because she heard footsteps coming from the door again.

Someone else?!

Hawthorne, noticing Si Qingyue's alert reaction, also sensed the commotion outside the door...

"Sang Hua," Li Lang called softly from outside the door.

Si Qingyue immediately understood—

That was the voice of the person who had bothered Sang Hua that day. Sang Hua looked troubled, as if she didn't want to see that person at all!

He pulled her back onto the bed.

Before she makes a sound, put a finger to your lips to signal her to be quiet.

Hawthorne actually did it!

Si Qingyue raised her hand and gripped the wooden railing beside the bed. With a little force, the railing creaked.

Hawthorne looked on, still not understanding what this meant...

Si Qingyue covered her mouth with her other hand and suddenly let out a surprising cry!

Accompanied by the creaking of the wooden railings, Si Qingyue, sitting on the edge of the bed, uttered two barely audible cries...

Even if Hawthorne were stupid, he would understand!

Her face instantly turned bright red...

This is... ...

Li Lang knocked on the door but received no response. Just as he was about to knock again, he suddenly heard a sound coming from inside the room, and his face immediately showed surprise!

Lean in and listen closely...

Anxious!

The knocking became more urgent... "Open the door! Xie Lin, open the door!!"
