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

"What are you doing!" Xie Shu lost her usual good temper.

He never expected that Ah Lin would abandon his falsely accused newlywed wife and run off to the Moon Viewing Pavilion.

Liao Bin suddenly understood his meaning, "Young Master... ...Huo Sanghua has already married the Second Young Master, you... ..."

He really didn't know what was so good about Hawthorne.

But the young master always doted on the second young master, and it was a foregone conclusion that Huo Sanghua would marry the second young master. Even if he looked down on the second young master's incompetent son, it would be too much of a waste for brothers to turn against each other over a woman.

The young master clearly sensed that he was keeping his distance from Hawthorne out of consideration for his status.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have hinted to the second young master to go and rescue people!

But his hints were too subtle. Not only did the second young master not understand, but even he, who had followed the young master for many years, almost failed to catch it.

Liao Bin, unable to contain his anger, let out a heavy sigh—

These days, it's rare to encounter a woman who catches the eye of the young master. If the woman belongs to someone else, regardless of her status, he will help his young master get her. At worst, he'll snatch her back and keep her by his side.

But it just so happens that it's someone from the second young master's room.

Although the second son was born out of wedlock, the bond between the brothers was extraordinary.

The young master has never considered the second young master as a half-brother. If, because of Huo Sanghua, their brotherly relationship is truly affected, he will definitely...

He went and killed that troublemaker with his own hands.

Xie Shu lightly slammed her fist on the table. "My position makes it inconvenient for me to save Sang Hua. Ah Lin came to me for help, and I couldn't do anything about it. But if someone finds fault with me, it will put everyone in a difficult position. So I told him that Sang Hua is his wife..."

If it were Ah Lin who made the mistake, he would naturally be able to save her.

To put it bluntly, what he meant was—

I can't rescue your wife; you have to rescue her yourself. If you make a mistake, I'll bail you out.

I thought it was such an obvious hint...

Surprisingly, even Liao Bin, who grew up alongside him, almost failed to recognize it.

It was inconvenient for him to rescue Huo Sanghua, who was already the "second wife," but he and Xie Lin were brothers. If he went to rescue his brother and spoke up for him, it would not arouse suspicion from his mother.

Otherwise, if all three of them get "involved," the more he helps Huo Sanghua, the more his mother will target Sanghua.

"Then why don't you just say it outright?" Liao Bin sighed. After going through all this trouble, he still couldn't let go of Huo Sanghua. He wanted to save her, yet feared implicating her. "Young Master... ...If I may be so bold as to say it, the Second Young Master is a good-for-nothing. Any girl who follows him will suffer. Even if he could protect Miss Sanghua, given his personality, he might not actually do so. His own wife is unjustly imprisoned, and he still has the mind to go to the Moon-Viewing Pavilion to drink and frequent brothels. Miss Sanghua must be feeling incredibly distressed!"

Xie Shu suddenly looked at him, hesitating to speak.

The words that were on the tip of his tongue turned into, "But she is, after all, Ah Lin's wife. If I save her, it will inevitably... put her in an even more passive situation."

She will encounter trouble a second and a third time.

"Then you should save her!" Liao Bin couldn't bear to watch any longer. When had his young master ever been so indecisive? Although it was a bit late, he didn't want to see his young master torment himself over whether or not to save her.

A look of surprise flashed across Xie Shu's eyes, then she suddenly realized, "Save her again?"

"Yes, you're not like the Second Young Master. If you want to save someone, just do it. What's the difference between saving someone once and saving them twice? Just do what you want to do. Why worry about things that haven't happened yet and tie your hands?" Liao Bin didn't care whether it was the Second Young Master's people or not.

Unable to bear seeing her young master in trouble, she...

Things that haven't happened yet... Xie Shu couldn't deny that Liao Bin's words had a huge impact on him.

More than the relationship between Huo Sanghua and Xie Lin, he was more concerned about the "truth" he had overheard that morning.

Huo Sanghua herself said that she was a person who had been reborn. In her previous life, she had married herself, but they were attacked in the mansion on their wedding night and died at home. Therefore, after being reborn, she chose A-Lin in order to avoid the misfortune of her previous life.

Recalling countless details from before—

The first time he met Huo Sanghua, she followed the Fourth Prince to his home, recognized the man she had been dating at the time, and then decisively chose Ah Lin.

But the moment Sang Hua saw him, those eyes...

There is clearly something there.

If what she said this morning was true, a second chance at life... then she must have known what was going on back then.

Knowing it was Ah Lin impersonating him, he went to meet her, but she was trying to escape a tragic death on her wedding night...

I chose Ah Lin.

But seeing him again, I couldn't help but be surprised...

In their subsequent meetings, Sang Hua hesitated to speak to him.

But Sang Hua had clearly warned him to be careful...

It was because she knew that on their wedding night, an assassin would ambush him and kill him.

Sang Hua's unspoken reminder was her biggest secret!

Live a new life!

Looking back now, he realized that Sang Hua's reminder had indeed made him much more cautious. He couldn't explain those feelings then, and yet, without her offering any explanation, he unexpectedly trusted her completely...

At the time, he couldn't understand why he would trust Hawthorne, whom he had only met a few times and who couldn't say anything to him.

Now it seems there's an explanation...

What he had dreamed about actually happened.

In the lifetime he missed, he and Sang Hua actually did spend a brief time as husband and wife...

"Young Master? Young Master—" Liao Bin called him softly, wondering what had happened and what the young master was thinking about that made him so lost in thought.

Is there something he doesn't know?

Xie Shu pulled herself out of her thoughts, her eyes swirling with emotion. "It's nothing. Liao Bin, how's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"

Getting back to the main point, he had previously ordered Liao Bin to investigate the assassin from last night, and with Liao Bin's abilities, he should have found something by now.

Liao Bin replied that it was indeed as he had guessed; the assassins in the Marquis's residence last night... were indeed more than one group. "...My men have found out that approximately four groups infiltrated the Marquis's residence at the same time. The woman we were chasing hasn't been identified yet, but she didn't seem to be there to assassinate anyone. She went straight to the old Marquis's study; it seemed more like..."

"They're here to investigate something." Xie Shu understood his meaning and secretly confirmed it.

"Yes," Liao Bin said, but he still didn't know what the female assassin was investigating, or what was in the old Marquis's study. "Besides that, there are three other groups of people. One group is from the palace, another... is the old lady's people, and the last group is the same group we encountered before."

Judging from their fighting style, Liao Bin was certain that this last group of people was not attacking them for the first time.

“It’s the group of people I encountered,” Xie Shu said, his eyelids slightly lowered, his eyes revealing a chill.

It really was that group!

Last night, when he was fighting with them, he determined from their moves that, although he did not yet know their identities and purposes, he was certain that they had attacked him more than once, with the intention of killing him.

It was precisely when he bumped into Sang Hua that he encountered that group of people...
