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

"you--"

Xie Lin hurriedly looked around, unable to find a suitable reason or explain himself clearly, fearing that things would escalate and become unmanageable. He quickly distanced himself, "What are you talking about? I don't know you!"

"You don't recognize me? We just met the other day, why are you saying you don't recognize me today?"

Hawthorne deliberately feigned an innocent look.

She felt as if she were the one who had been betrayed and abandoned. In fact, she had already guessed who this person was the moment she walked in.

Since he is not Xie Shu, the heir of the Marquis of Anding's mansion.

That must be Xie Lin, the second son of the Marquis of Anding, who is "infamous" in Shengjing!

Facing Xie Lin, the second young master whose flaws are well-known to everyone, all she needs to do is continue to feign innocence and naivety, enough to make everyone sympathize with her and turn against Xie Lin...

She was convinced that Xie Lin had bullied her!

Just then, the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, who was chatting with someone in the hall, also heard the commotion in the front yard. Supported by the real Xie Shu, she came to the yard and happened to see the two people struggling.

Just a slight frown, coupled with an unwavering tone of authority—

"What are you doing!"

Hawthorne was startled by the sound.

Glancing over quickly, Xie Lin happened to see Old Madam Xie's fierce and vicious eyes. Taking advantage of her moment of panic, Xie Lin hurriedly shook off her hand and hid in the crowd.

It's him? !

When Hawthorne saw the young man beside Madam Xie, she was completely stunned.

That face!

That person… was clearly the husband she had seen lying in a pool of blood on her wedding night in her past life…

Is he Xie Shu?

When they met, was it Xie Lin who impersonated Xie Shu?

How did that happen?

"Cough..." Seeing that she wouldn't let go of Xie Lin for a while, saying that she wanted to marry Xie Lin.

He stared at Xie Shu in a daze for a moment... Li Lang looked displeased and coughed lightly as a reminder.

Hawthorne immediately realized what was happening and quickly withdrew his slightly offensive gaze.

But that was indeed the man she married in her previous life!

Similar to the current situation, in her previous life, the person she was considering was Xie Lin—the second son of the Marquis of Anding, born out of wedlock.

She mistakenly believed that Xie Lin was Xie Shu, the heir of the Marquis of Anding.

Later, after Li Lang's persistent persuasion, she finally agreed to marry Xie Shu...

But on their wedding night, the groom turned out to be the real Xie Shu!

She only truly saw that face clearly when Xie Shu was murdered and lying in a pool of blood...

The only thing that's certain now is that Xie Lin was the one impersonating Xie Shu and dating her!

At this moment, Xie Shu, dressed in a refined grey-white long gown, stood there with an air of nobility and elegance, looking at her with equally puzzled eyes.

Her face was flawless, and her demeanor was clean and crisp.

He had thick, dark eyebrows and eyes, and a handsome, refined appearance.

That was a face... ...unforgettable at first glance.

Xie Shu's expression was very calm, even somewhat serious, without a trace of a smile, which unexpectedly made her a little nervous. Perhaps this was the true nature of the young Marquis Xie, whom everyone in Shengjing praised!

Hawthorne felt a surge of panic.

In her past life, she married Xie Shu in a daze, and then witnessed Xie Shu being murdered in a daze. Unexpectedly, her soul was reunited with his, and they became the wronged "mandarin ducks".

Everything starts over, and there he is, standing alive and well before me...

Such strange and complicated feelings!

However, she knew very well that she absolutely could not marry Xie Shu!

Otherwise, she would repeat the same mistake as in her previous life and die with him on their wedding night.

But back then...

Who killed him?

Seeing the woman who had suddenly appeared in the Marquis's courtyard, standing with the Fourth Prince, Xie Shu suddenly realized that she was the woman the Fourth Prince wanted her to marry—

Hawthorne.

Everyone went to the front hall and explained things clearly. Only then did they realize what a misunderstanding had occurred...

Xie Lin, the "instigator" of this blunder, had already slipped away amidst the chaos.

"It really was that brat who caused this trouble!" While scolding Xie Lin for impersonating Xie Shu to go on the matchmaking, Old Madam Xie couldn't stop smiling. "But Miss Huo just said in public that she wants to marry my second son..."

Madam Xie originally did not want Huo Sanghua to marry her son Xie Shu, but she did not want to offend the Fourth Prince.

So, taking advantage of what Huo Sanghua had just said in the courtyard, he wanted to go with the flow and put her in Xie Lin's courtyard.

in this way--

This would neither affect the Xie family's relationship with the Fourth Prince nor hinder her son Xie Shu's future.

Isn't that perfect?!

“Madam, that’s because when you were choosing a husband, your second son impersonated the heir, which led Sang Hua to mistakenly believe that he was Xie Shu,” Li Lang immediately explained.

It seems they also do not want Hawthorne to marry the unruly second son of the Xie family.

Madam Xie said, "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, it was Miss Huo herself who said it in public that she wanted to marry my second son. My family didn't force her, did we?"

"But……"

Madam Xie said smugly, "No matter what, this person is the one Miss Huo herself has taken a liking to, right? Even if he impersonated Shu'er, isn't it Erlang who Miss Huo has her eye on?"

Who knows who will rule the world in the future?

The Fourth Prince was certainly among His Majesty's choices, and the Xie family was unwilling to offend him for the sake of a woman. However, Old Madam Xie would absolutely not allow her legitimate son to marry Huo Sanghua, an orphan born out of wedlock with no parents!

Now, this has just fulfilled her wish!

An orphan girl marrying a son born out of wedlock—isn't that a match made in heaven?

"Fourth Prince, please don't break them up." Old Madam Xie almost laughed, reaching out to pull Huo Sanghua closer, her expression one of loving kindness. "Good girl, don't worry... marrying Erlang will definitely not be a loss for you! I'll immediately order people to prepare the betrothal gifts and choose an auspicious day to welcome you into the family!"

Hawthorne's mind was in turmoil. He looked at everyone present and saw them all as the murderer from that night!

They didn't listen carefully to what Madam Xie was saying at all.

Her expression was grave, and she looked up at Xie Shu...

Xie Shu sat expressionlessly next to Madam Xie.

He didn't know, he knew nothing... Perhaps he just thought it was a marriage he had managed to escape by sheer luck.

You should still feel fortunate that Xie Lin impersonated him to go and arrange the marriage!

Only Hawthorne remembers everything from his past life.

This handsome and valiant young marquis was attacked on his wedding night, lying in a pool of blood...

Only Hawthorne remembers it.

Back in the palace, Li Lang was furious.

She knocked over the tea that Yunqiao had brought, startling the maids who hurriedly dodged away.

Yunqiao stood in the corner, glaring fiercely at Huo Sanghua. She knew that all of this must have been caused by Huo Sanghua!

"Don't worry," Li Lang said earnestly to Huo Sanghua, a rare moment of calm. "I won't let you marry Xie Lin! This must all be that old hag's scheme, making Xie Lin come to the marriage meeting in Xie Shu's place..."

"Since she's going to marry into the Xie family anyway, what's the difference between Xie Lin and Xie Shu?"

Hawthorne was surprisingly calm and simply sat down to the side.

In her view, Li Lang's only goal was to kill her in the Xie family, so Xie Lin and Xie Shu were no different!

Upon seeing this, Li Lang was taken aback.

He thought Huo Sanghua was resentful towards him. "Of course it's different! Xie Shu is the heir of the Marquis of Anding's mansion. If you marry him, you will be the future mistress of the Marquis of Anding's mansion. Sanghua, I want you to have a better life!"

Hawthorne looked up at him and found it quite amusing.

Do you want her to have a better life?

They want to use her death to blackmail Xie Shu, don't they?

Huo Sanghua, who saw through Li Lang's trick, did not say it directly. Instead, she suddenly put on a tender look and looked at him, saying, "I know... but it's all the same to me. As long as I can help you, I don't care."

“Sang Hua—” Li Lang was moved.

Yunshao was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder.

Inside the Marquis of Anding's residence, Xie Shu sat upright at his desk, the book in his hands remaining untouched. Even when a maid brought him tea and placed it before him...

There was no response.

He was recalling the Hawthorne he had just met.

Wearing an ordinary light pink dress, she stood out remarkably in the crowd, with bright eyes, white teeth, and a lively expression. Despite possessing an exceptional appearance, she seemed to deliberately conceal it, pretending to be humble and ordinary.

I can't explain why, but when I see Hawthorne, I always have a... very special feeling!

The feeling in my heart was particularly strange.

Hearing that her mother had decided to propose marriage to her for the sake of her second brother Xie Lin, she was not as happy as she had expected.

What's wrong with him...?

Even though I don't recognize her, why do I have this feeling when I see her?

Or did he see her somewhere before?
