"How did you come?"

Huo Sanghua was preoccupied with Xie Shu, whom she had just met during the day, when she suddenly saw Li Lang standing at the door. In that instant, she couldn't hide her unease; a look of terror crossed her eyes as she stared at the person before her...

All the expectations of the past have vanished!

I felt a chill run down my spine.

"Sang Hua, what's wrong with you?" Li Lang seemed to have noticed her subtle emotions as well.

I don't know why, but it feels like she's become a different person.

Huo Sanghua quickly turned her gaze away, not wanting Li Lang to notice anything. "N-nothing."

Suddenly, a thought popped into her mind: Could Li Lang be the murderer who killed Xie Shu?

“Sang Hua… ……” Li Lang stared blankly at Sang Hua in her wedding dress. For a moment, he even had a crazy thought that Huo Sang Hua was going to marry him!

Some words get stuck in my throat, like fish bones, piercing my flesh.

The moment he opened his mouth, it was filled with the stench of blood!

Wanting her to stay is now such a difficult thing to say!

He'd even started to feel jealous of Xie Lin...

"cough."

Yunqiao hid inside the house and saw everything that was happening outside, which fueled her jealousy. Her hatred grew stronger, and she deliberately made a commotion, disturbing the two who were "immersed" in their tender moment.

But this did not affect Li Lang at all!

His eyes seemed glued to Sang Hua, and he even reached out to grasp her hand, but Huo Sang Hua, suddenly realizing what was happening, dodged him.

"Sang Hua!"

"Brother Lang, it's getting late, you should go back and rest." Huo Sanghua didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.

The person I loved so much in my past life, I never imagined I would hate so much in this life!

She hated Li Lang touching her. Every touch reminded her of the words from her past life and herself lying in a pool of blood.

"Sang Hua..." Li Lang called her name again, "If you don't want to marry into the Xie family, why don't you beg me one more time?"

"Please?" Hawthorne suppressed the urge to laugh out loud.

What's wrong with this guy?

In her past life, she used every trick in the book to force her to agree to marry Xie Shu, but in this life, she can't bear to part with him.

She could never forget how Li Lang had treated her in her past life... ...“If asking you would be of any use… ”

She had asked for it in her past life.

But what happened in the end? Didn't she still marry into the Xie family as Li Lang wished? She married Xie Shu, and then died together with Xie Shu on their wedding night?

Who is this display of affection meant for now?

Now that she has agreed to marry into the Xie family and fulfilled Li Lang's wish, what else could Li Lang possibly be unable to let go of? Does he really want her to repeat the tragedy of her previous life and die on her wedding night?!

Li Lang suddenly reached out and grabbed Huo Sanghua's wrist.

"What...what are you doing?" Huo Sanghua was shocked and quickly looked behind her for help. She shouted, "Brother Lang, in a few days I will be a member of the Xie family. This is inappropriate!"

"Sang Hua, if you beg me to take you away now, I can abandon everything and take you away from here!" Li Lang's voice trembled slightly.

This is the only time in my life that I feel truly at ease.

He wanted to take Hawthorne away, knowing full well that he would lose something in the process, and he desperately hoped that Hawthorne would beg him for it. If Hawthorne just asked, he would definitely take her away!

But he didn't know that Hawthorne no longer trusted him!

With the help of the maids inside, Hawthorne broke free from Li Lang's grasp and angrily ordered them to throw him out. Li Lang was pushed out the door by the maids, and the door to Hawthorne's room slammed shut in front of him...

He watched as Hawthorne's figure disappeared through the crack in the door...

I was immediately heartbroken.

In front of the corridor, the shadow of Hawthorne trying on her wedding dress inside the house was reflected on the window paper, and Li Lang reached out his hand to that shadow.

But they only touched that layer of paper that could never be broken through!

“Sang Hua… ..."

He felt that Sang Hua was drifting further and further away from him.

Sang Hua wasn't like this before!

Back then, no matter what he said, Sang Hua would believe him unconditionally...

She would always follow behind him, tilting her rosy little face up to call him, "Brother Lang..."

At this time, the Marquis of Anding's residence was also bustling with activity!

Xie Lin's attempt to escape the marriage failed. He climbed over the wall, only to fall into a trap that Xie Shu had prepared earlier. He was trapped in a fishing net, tightly wrapped like a "silkworm cocoon," and carried into Xie Shu's study.

"What, why aren't you sleeping at this hour? Are you a fish?"

Hearing his elder brother's voice, Xie Lin reluctantly lifted his head from the fishing net. He saw Xie Shu sitting behind his desk, looking straight ahead at the book on military strategy in his hands, leisurely sipping tea.

His long eyelashes, illuminated by the oil lamp beside him, gave him an elegant and lively appearance.

With slender, fair fingers, she held the jade teacup and slowly brought it to her lips.

Her slightly red lips parted slightly as she took a sip of the thin tea in her cup.

He sat there without changing his expression, like a white jade statue!

Xie Lin struggled desperately but could not escape from the fishing net. He twisted his body frantically and then leaped up.

She jumped up in front of Xie Shu with her feet together, her face full of resentment. "Big brother, shouldn't I be asking you that?! You stayed up all night just to catch me like a fish?"

Xie Shu chuckled and turned her head to look at him.

"Looks like we caught a big fish tonight."

Qu pointed, and Liao Bin and the others withdrew.

Xie Shu gradually suppressed her smile and closed the book in her hands—

"I don't care how much trouble you've caused in the past, but not this time."

"Big brother, I'm begging you!" Xie Lin jumped to Xie Shu's other side and pleaded, "What's wrong with you this time? Just let me go, or I'll really have to marry that Huo Sanghua!"

He didn't want to...

"I will release you after the wedding. If I release you now, the Huo family girl will be in a very awkward position without a groom at the wedding," Xie Shu said casually, turning her back to him as she sipped her tea.

For some reason, after meeting that Miss Huo today, I inexplicably...

I always think of her.

This feeling made him momentarily dazed, and he felt an inexplicable tightness in his chest.

Although he wasn't sure what this feeling meant, he was certain that he didn't want Miss Huo to be abandoned by his second brother at her wedding and become the laughingstock of the whole city!

Someone like her shouldn't have ended up being mocked.

Xie Lin didn't take it seriously after hearing this, and scoffed, "Then why don't you just marry her?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xie Shu felt a surge of anger involuntarily, even he was surprised by his own reaction.

"That's exactly right! Originally, the person she wanted to meet was you! It was you who had to go back to the camp at the last minute, saying you didn't want to offend the Fourth Prince and Consort Qi, so you asked me to impersonate you and go to meet her!"

Xie Lin was tied up in a fishing net and couldn't move...

But this did not diminish his anger at all.

He was just going to find a match for his older brother, so how did he inexplicably become the groom?

After much thought, it all came down to the fact that Huo Sanghua had mistaken the person for someone else, which was why she declared her intention to marry him in front of so many people at the Xie family compound! The person she was supposed to marry...

It should be his own brother!

The fourth prince didn't seem to want Hawthorne to marry him either. "Brother, if it's really unbearable, just marry her and let me off the hook!"

Xie Shu's heart stirred. Hearing Xie Lin's words, for a fleeting moment, an idea actually popped into her mind—

The scene of her and Hawthorne's wedding ceremony.

wrong!

He suddenly came to his senses and said, "Stop talking nonsense. How can you give up a girl's reputation like that? You should go back and prepare to marry Miss Huo!"

The image that flashed through my mind just now felt so real, for some reason.
