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

The Moon-Viewing Pavilion was as lively as ever.

The young maid Chunming pushed open the door to the largest room upstairs and whispered, "Miss Qingyue, Lord Cao has arrived. Mama said you should prepare."

But the room was empty, and Chunming waited for a while without receiving a reply from Si Qingyue, which aroused her suspicion.

Miss Qingyue doesn't have many guests tonight...

It was the head maid of Guanyue Tower who received the message from Lord Cao's residence early in the morning, knowing that Lord Cao was coming tonight. That's why she specially arranged for Qingyue to wait and dance for Lord Cao.

But tonight, Lord Cao went to the Marquis of Anding's residence first to attend the wedding of the Xie family's second son, which is why he arrived a little late.

Upon learning that Lord Cao and his entourage were already on their way to Guanyue Tower, the matriarch of Guanyue Tower hurriedly sent Chunming to deliver a message...

This would allow Si Qingyue to prepare in advance, so as not to neglect the distinguished guest.

To her surprise, Chunming entered the room only to find that Si Qingyue was nowhere to be seen...

"What's wrong? Isn't Miss Qingyue here?" The servant who came with them outside the door sensed something was wrong and hurriedly asked.

No one saw Si Qingyue leave tonight, so how could she...?

"No!" Chunming quickly denied.

She didn't know what had happened, but instinctively told the servant to keep quiet so he wouldn't go around saying anything bad to the madam. "Miss Qingyue is still asleep. Go tell Madam that I'll help her get up and prepare to welcome Lord Cao."

As I listened to the footsteps outside the door fading into the distance, a dilemma arose in my mind.

What should we do?!

The person hasn't returned yet. What should she do if the madam sends someone to fetch him again later?!

If people find out that Qingyue went out tonight, it will inevitably arouse suspicion about what might happen tomorrow.

Just then, a slight noise came from outside the window—

Si Qingyue is back.

Seeing her climb into the house, Chunming looked behind her, closed the window, and asked, "Miss, where have you been?"

Turning around, she saw blood on Si Qingyue's clothes and was instantly terrified. "Blood?!"

Before she could ask, Si Qingyue covered her mouth. "Don't make a sound, it's alright..."

Chunming mentioned that Lord Cao was coming soon, and it would be troublesome if they were discovered. "Miss, you went to the Xie family? Are you still hung up on the second young master of the Xie family who got married today?! What's so good about him...? He's just an unappreciated illegitimate son, yet you still think about him so much!..."

I absolutely loathe that unreliable second son of the Xie family.

He was about to get married, yet he used to spend all his time in this Moon-Viewing Pavilion, exchanging flirtatious glances with the girls!

The girl he flirted with probably really thought she had a chance to marry into the Xie family.

"He's not the one I'm thinking about." Si Qingyue's tone was indifferent yet somewhat disdainful when she mentioned Xie Lin. As she spoke, she changed her clothes, but Huo Sanghua's image appeared in her eyes, momentarily causing her to lose her composure. "Chunming..."

Chunming turned around upon hearing the sound.

But then Si Qingyue murmured, "I found her, it's her..."

"Her?" Chunming asked, puzzled.

"I told you before, I have a little sister. We were separated when we were young due to a family tragedy. I've been searching for her for so many years. Everyone said she was dead, but I've finally found her." Si Qingyue's eyes were filled with tears, and she was very excited.

Suppressing my surging emotions, I couldn't wait to acknowledge him right now...

But when I think back to the changes that happened in my "family" back then...

Judging from Sang Hua's current state, she probably still doesn't know what exactly happened back then.

If Sang Hua were to learn about her background, it would likely bring her even more danger.

Those assassins tonight might have come because they suspected Sang Hua's identity. Just who is it that suspects Sang Hua...?

It would be better to keep it a secret for now, so she can investigate it discreetly.

Hiding in the shadows would make it easier to protect Sang Hua. She would wait until she had resolved all the threats to Sang Hua before making plans to acknowledge her.

Si Qingyue gazed out the window in a daze—

They thought that by now, the Xie family should have found them.

She never expected this.

After all these twists and turns, Huo Sanghua actually married into the Xie family and even married Xie Lin!

However, tonight, seeing Xie Shu chase after Huo Sanghua out of the city despite his own injuries, she was certain of Xie Shu's feelings.

They deliberately put something on Xie Shu.

She believed that Xie Shu, with his self-control, would not do anything to harm Sang Hua.

The medicine also helped him realize his own true feelings.

Sang Hua said her marriage to Xie Lin was a sham... ...Given Xie Lin's status and temperament, he shouldn't be able to protect Sang Hua in a place like the Xie family... ...

But Xie Shu was different.

Let Xie Shu see his own feelings clearly. With Xie Shu taking care of Sang Hua in the Xie family in the future, she will probably be fine.

As for the rest...

She will do it! She will clear all obstacles for Sang Hua before she returns to her original identity!

In the mountains and forests, Xie Lin strode up to Huo Sanghua and, seeing that she was swaying precariously, reached out and supported her shoulders out of compassion.

Only then did I realize that she was dressed very thinly, and that she probably had no warm clothes under her wedding dress!

The mountain forest was exceptionally cold at night; she was bound to catch a cold if she stayed like that.

With a sigh, Xie Lin took off his large cloak and draped it over Huo Sanghua's shoulders...

"I'm fine..." Hawthorne just didn't want to cause him any more trouble.

Considering how big the incident has become tonight, I don't know how to end it!

"Keep it on, you're freezing." He said with a hint of disdain.

Although it was also his first marriage, he had never heard of a bride freezing to death outside the city on her wedding night...

They would really freeze to death.

This will likely become yet another bizarre unsolved case in the capital!

She wanted to say something more, but a sudden gust of cold wind made her shiver uncontrollably. The cold wind seemed to penetrate her very bones, as if it were being sliced ​​alive by knives, and she no longer cared about looking good or being proper.

He wrapped his cloak tightly around himself.

In that instant, she could even hear the sound of her teeth chattering involuntarily.

Watching her disheveled and embarrassed appearance, and her obedient silence after admitting defeat, was quite amusing.

Xie Lin suddenly laughed—

You probably won't find another bride as miserable as her in the entire capital!

At this moment, Liao Bin also found Xie Shu and helped the seriously injured and soaked Xie Shu back.

"Big brother!" Xie Lin turned around worriedly towards Liao Bin, asking about Xie Shu's condition. "How is big brother?"

"Second Young Master, the Eldest Young Master is injured, and... poisoned." Liao Bin said to Xie Lin, the Second Young Master, after observing Xie Shu's reaction, and glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Huo Sanghua standing next to Xie Lin.

I have so many questions and really want to ask her for clarification.

However, he knew that this was not the time to ask these questions.

How exactly did my young master get involved with the second young master's bride, and why was he poisoned and fell into the water?!

Before Xie Lin could ask, Liao Bin spoke first, "I'll take the young master back to heal his injuries."

"Alright." Xie Lin was worried about his older brother, and equally confused. It seemed like several groups of assassins had attacked the house simultaneously tonight, and he still couldn't figure out what was going on. But it wasn't hard to guess that his older brother had been injured protecting Sang Hua. "You guys go back first, we'll be there soon!"

Liao Bin and the others hurriedly took Xie Shu back to the city to find a doctor to treat her.

"Let's go." Xie Lin had already mounted his horse.

Then he leaned forward and extended his hand to Hawthorne, who was still lost in thought...

"What is this?" Hawthorne had been frightened too many times tonight, and even the slightest noise could leave her at a loss.

“Go back.” Xie Lin looked around and patiently explained, “There’s only one horse, and it’s quite a distance from here to the city gate. You don’t want to walk back, do you?”

She gazed in the direction where Liao Bin and the others had disappeared...

After a quick recollection, it seemed that was indeed the case! "Then what should we do?"

"Get on the horse, I'll take you back," Xie Lin said nonchalantly.

"Me and you?... ...riding the same horse?!"

She must have cared about it a little.

The two had a rather special relationship, but it wasn't close enough for them to share a horse.

"Otherwise what?" Xie Lin retorted, unable to suppress a smile as he became interested. "Anyway, we're already married and have paid our respects to heaven and our ancestors. To outsiders, there's nothing wrong with that, right?"
