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

"What did you say!!!"

Upon hearing Xie Lin's words, Old Madam Xie flew into a rage.

Although Xie Lin did not fully describe his affair with Huo Sanghua, the unfinished words were full of ambiguous implications that left much to the imagination.

Madam Xie never expected Xie Lin to be so audacious... "That was in the palace!"

"Sang Hua and I were going to get married anyway. What difference would it make if we got married a day earlier or a day later?" Xie Lin feigned nonchalance, adopting a cynical attitude.

Not only was Old Madam Xie furious upon hearing this, but even those unaware of the situation were...

Naturally, everyone thought he was a terrible person.

No one expected it to end like this.

"You... ...are you really sure that you and her... ..." Old Madam Xie was trembling with anger. She had a handle that she could have used to force Consort Qi to submit to her, but unexpectedly, it turned out like this.

"Of course I'm sure." Seeing that Huo Sanghua was about to speak, Xie Lin hurriedly answered the old lady, "She was going to marry me anyway, wasn't she? Anyway, that day... there was no one from the Imperial Hospital, and under those circumstances... she's so soft-hearted and has no temper, so whatever I say, she can only listen to me!"

"So, you and she... you forced her to do that?! The two of you, how dare you do that in the palace... If people find out, and it implicates the Xie family, you—"

Madam Xie nearly fainted.

She was aware of Xie Lin's womanizing and absurdity, and upon careful consideration—

Seemingly believing it was something he was capable of, Hawthorne was forced by him to comply with his wishes in the palace...

No wonder she wouldn't open her mouth no matter how I asked; I never imagined it was for this reason.

But that was inside the palace!

They were so audacious as to commit adulterous acts within the palace...

If people find out, the Emperor will be furious. He will not only behead the two of them, but he will also likely implicate the Xie family!

Xie Lin took on all the tasks, stepped forward to push away the people holding Huo Sanghua down, reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her up.

"...Young Master?"

When Li's mother snapped out of her daze, she looked up and saw Xie Shu standing outside the courtyard.

It's likely that Xie Shu rushed over after hearing that his mother had sent men to bring Huo Sanghua over for questioning. However, he hadn't expected to overhear Xie Lin's words just outside the courtyard, confirming that he had indeed been with Sanghua in the palace...

Xie Lin and Sang Hua looked over at the same time.

Sure enough, Xie Shu was standing there with a livid face.

Sang Hua clearly sensed that Xie Lin beside her hesitated...

He seemed worried that his elder brother might have misunderstood what he had just said.

The matter Xie Lin mentioned was disgraceful to the family, and as the head of the Xie family, Xie Shu's reaction was naturally not good. "...Big brother."

Xie Shu walked over step by step without saying a word.

A pair of eyes fixed on Xie Lin until...

He stood beside Xie Lin and suddenly threw a punch, hitting Xie Lin in the face.

Xie Lin was knocked backward to the ground by that punch, and his cheek swelled up at a visible speed...

He sat up, covering his face, still in shock, staring blankly at his elder brother Xie Shu.

"Stop, stop hitting him." Huo Sanghua wanted to explain but couldn't bring herself to say it. In front of Madam Xie, she couldn't bring herself to say that Xie Lin had lied to help her.

Seeing Xie Shu approach Xie Lin again, she had no choice but to steel herself and stand in front of Xie Lin...

She couldn't just stand by and watch Xie Lin, who had just helped her, get beaten to death.

She knew how offensive Xie Lin's words were...

But now is not the time to explain these things.

Seeing Huo Sanghua suddenly stand in front of Xie Lin, Xie Shu's reaction was intriguing. He stared at Huo Sanghua for a long while, not understanding why she would protect someone...

The people who were just slandering her.

"Shu'er!" Old Madam Xie was stunned when she saw Xie Shu strike Xie Lin.

Worried that Xie Lin might not know his place and might retaliate by hitting his own son, they quickly sent someone to stop him.

As Madam Xie's most loyal servant, Li Mama rushed towards Xie Shu, and before she could even react to his unusual behavior, she forcefully stopped him. "Young Master, why bother arguing with someone like that! Don't be angry, don't be angry..."

The courtyard was completely silent; no one had ever seen Xie Shu lose her temper like this before.

Although he had learned martial arts from the Marquis since childhood and went to the battlefield early on, he was always the kindest person to others, and his relationship with the second young master was always good, no matter how much trouble the second young master caused—

If you just ask him, he will definitely help clean up the mess.

But what's wrong with today...?

No one could fathom the eldest young master's thoughts, nor did they know why he was angry.

They even beat up the second young master?!

Madam Xie hadn't expected things to turn out this way, so she had no choice but to send Xie Lin and Huo Sanghua back to their courtyard and keep them there, strictly forbidding them from going out.

Then he ordered Li's mother to drag Xie Shu into the room...

Seeing Xie Shu walk away, Huo Sanghua hurriedly went to help Xie Lin, asking, "How is he?"

"Ah..." Xie Lin cried out, clutching the spot where his older brother had hit him. "How about that? You try taking a hit yourself!"

“Who told you to talk nonsense?” Hawthorne blurted out.

Then, they cautiously began to observe their surroundings...

Fortunately, everyone in Madam Xie's courtyard cared about Xie Shu, so no one paid any more attention to them.

She secretly rejoiced, thinking she was doomed today. "Let's go back and find some medicine..."

Look, Xie Shu's punch was really hard, but apart from a swollen face, Xie Lin didn't seem to have any other problems.

Applying some medicine should fix it.

I just didn't know that Xie Shu cared so much about the Xie family's reputation. No wonder he was so angry. Any family with a younger brother like Xie Lin would have a real headache.

"Ouch... ..." Xie Lin cried out, and casually put his arm around Huo Sanghua's shoulder.

He looked like he needed Hawthorne to carry him.

"Are you really that badly injured?" Hawthorne tried to push him away.

But when she thought about how Xie Lin had gotten into this state to save her, she couldn't bear it.

They could only support Xie Lin, who had clearly taken a punch to the face but was pretending to be lame, and move him with difficulty toward their courtyard.

Liao Bin, who remained outside the main house, watched Xie Lin's antics with disdain and gave a soft snort.

It's good that he's playing the victim. He only got punched, but he hasn't learned his lesson and can still take advantage of the situation.

Madam Xie called Xie Shu back into the room, and Li Mama, being very perceptive, led the other maids who were serving in the room out and waited outside.

Seeing this, Madam Xie, who had been holding back her words, finally got her chance—

"Shu'er, what's wrong with you?!"

"...I was just angry, so I lost control and hit Ah Lin. Mother, don't worry. I will visit Ah Lin later and explain things to him. I will make sure that these things don't affect our brotherly relationship."

"That's not what I'm asking you!" Old Madam Xie said angrily.

Xie Shu changed the subject, clearly trying to cover up the truth.

Thinking of the look Xie Shu gave Xie Lin and Huo Sanghua when she entered the room... ... "I am your mother, do you think you can fool me?! You don't actually have feelings for that Huo Sanghua, do you?!"
