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

"Oh, who is this?" Early in the morning, Chunying, a maid from Consort Xiao's palace, came to cause trouble.

Just then, Yunqiao was instructing Huo Sanghua on the various rules and regulations after marriage.

According to Yunqiao, the Xie family of the Marquis of Anding is a prominent family in Shengjing. For someone of Huo Sanghua's background to marry into the family, even if she marries the illegitimate Xie Lin, it would be a great honor!

So she rushed in early in the morning, yelling and waking up Hawthorne, who had stayed up late trying on her wedding dress last night.

He dragged Huo Sanghua into the courtyard, saying he was ordered by Consort Qi to teach her some manners—

It was obvious that she was jealous because of what happened last night, and was using Consort Qi's orders to make things difficult for Huo Sanghua. From standing posture and walking posture to sitting posture and kneeling posture, and even daily etiquette, she forced Huo Sanghua to repeat them over and over again.

If anyone disobeys, the willow branch in her hand will fall on Hawthorne.

Although it was just a thin mark, Yunqiao always managed to hit the same spot, repeatedly inflicting further damage.

The pain under the skin made Hawthorne gasp every time!

Even the maidservants around him couldn't stand it anymore.

Yunqiao, however, continued to clamor that she was doing all this for Huo Sanghua's own good. Otherwise, if she married into the Xie family, not only would she disgrace Consort Qi, but the Xie family's rules would also cost her her life sooner or later!

It was at this moment that Chunying came over upon hearing the sound.

Watching Yunqiao slap Huo Sanghua repeatedly, she covered her mouth and giggled. "Sister Yunqiao, don't hit too hard, otherwise on our wedding night... ...how will you serve your husband well with all these scars on your body!"

After he finished speaking, a group of women with upturned eyes gathered together and laughed shamelessly.

It's as if I can already see the scene on Hawthorne's wedding night, where she is rejected by her husband because of her scarred body.

Naturally, I felt incredibly happy.

Under the scorching sun, Hawthorne's head throbbed with pain, his vision blurred intermittently, and he briefly lost consciousness several times, making even breathing increasingly difficult.

She took a deep breath, trying to relieve the tightness in her chest.

But because he swayed slightly, he was whipped by Yunqiao again!

Whether Yunqiao did it on purpose or not, the willow branch she raised actually hit Huo Sanghua's neck, leaving a thin red mark on her fair skin.

Hawthorne had almost fainted.

He was suddenly hit and couldn't help but groan softly in pain.

His face turned even paler!

The maid beside her was horrified; she hadn't expected Yunqiao to dare strike Huo Sanghua on the neck. Such an obvious injury—what if someone inquired about it...?

How should I explain this?

"What are you looking at!" Yun Qiao was clearly prepared, her eyes fixed on Huo Sanghua, wishing she could skin her alive and give her a good beating. Who told her to be so smug last night! "You all saw it. I was ordered by Consort Qi to teach her manners. It was her own disobedience and misbehavior that led to this public beating! You can't blame me for this!"

Although Yunqiao wasn't the only one in Consort Qi's palace who made the decisions.

But everyone knows that Yunqiao was sent by Consort Qi to the Fourth Prince to take care of his daily life. However, the Fourth Prince then sent her back to the palace and to Huo Sanghua to take care of her.

Who knows, in the future Yunqiao will be someone close to the Fourth Prince, and who would dare to offend her?

She took Qi Fei's orders to make things difficult for Huo Sanghua. Later, Huo Sanghua married Xie Lin, the illegitimate son of the Marquis of Anding, and Yun Tiao became a concubine of the Fourth Prince.

In terms of status, he is definitely far superior to Hawthorne!

So everyone echoed Yunqiao's statement that it was Huo Sanghua's own disobedience and reckless actions that led to the open attack.

Fawned over by the others, Yunqiao said innocently to Huo Sanghua with a smug look, "Don't blame me, I'm teaching you manners to help you. Consort Qi also hopes that after you marry into the Xie family, you'll behave properly..."

Hawthorne was so breathless that he couldn't speak, let alone resist.

but--

She already knew what kind of person Yunqiao was in her past life, so she couldn't really say whether she was disappointed or not.

Chunying observed Huo Sanghua's reaction and sensed something was amiss. She whispered, "Yunqiao, did you hurt yourself somewhere? She doesn't seem quite right!"

Hearing this, the maids around her felt even more strongly that Hawthorne's reaction was somewhat like...

They really hurt him.

Yunshao felt guilty and dared not admit that it was out of jealousy and hatred towards Huo Sanghua that she secretly carried out the deadly attack—

"Who said that! I think... she's just faking it! I didn't hit her hard at all! She's just being lazy and doesn't want to practice! Huo Sanghua, I'm here on Consort Qi's orders. If you don't practice properly, you're disobeying Consort Qi's orders! You, you deserve to be hit!"

As he spoke, he raised the willow branch again!

Hawthorne clutched her chest, unable to breathe, and was paralyzed. Looking up at the willow branch about to fall on her, she suddenly felt a wave of darkness wash over her, as if she were transported back to that night in her past life...

She was hiding outside when she heard Li Lang's words and desperately tried to escape.

But when passing through the backyard...

Just then, Xie Shu was ambushed and fell to the ground. At the same time, she was also discovered...

That's it!

A cold light flashed overhead, followed by a chill down his neck, and blood gushed out...

No, she seemed to have heard a voice at that moment! "Don't kill her, she is..."

What was it? I don't remember much after that, but I'm sure she heard that sound at that moment!

That is to say-

Was there another person present nearby at the time?

Because when she heard the sound, she didn't see the perpetrator open their mouth to speak.

So, killing Xie Shu was actually a plan they had planned long ago? They just didn't expect her to suddenly appear, and then their accomplices to suddenly attack her!

"stop!"

Someone shouted and rushed over!

They stopped the brutal beating that was about to fall on Hawthorne!

At that moment, Hawthorne also completely lost his strength and collapsed.

Before losing consciousness, she was filled with panic and felt a chill run down her spine!

Because she heard that voice again!

The same voice as in my past life, that "Don't kill her!" It's him! It's that voice!!

But she lost consciousness and didn't even have time to turn around and look at the person who called out those two words... who was it...?

Xie Shu, you... don't die...

It turns out that the people who wanted to kill Xie Shu were from the palace!

She seemed to have returned to that dream, wearing a wedding dress, running wildly in the garden of the Marquis of Anding's mansion.

Her brother Lang wanted her dead; her brother Lang actually wanted her to die in the Xie family!

She couldn't believe what she had just heard, but she knew that to survive, she had to leave this place immediately...

The entire Marquis of Anding's residence is fraught with crisis.

No one is as simple as they appear on the surface.

Running to the backyard, she heard the sounds of fighting again. This time, she dared not go that way. Lifting her heavy skirt, she ran in the opposite direction without a second thought!

But the fight that was clearly behind them suddenly appeared right in front of them!

She witnessed Xie Shu collapse.

I still don't understand how something that should have happened on the other side has ended up right in front of me!

She tightly covered her mouth, which was about to scream uncontrollably!

This time, she was certain the killer in front of her hadn't seen her...

They were sneaking around, tiptoeing... trying to escape from the crime scene...

Turning around, I saw someone standing behind me, someone I didn't know had started doing!

Tall, strong...

She trembled as she slowly raised her gaze, trying to make out the person's appearance.

Suddenly, someone slashed my neck.

"Uh..." Before she could see clearly, she collapsed into a pool of blood once again.

"Ah!!! No, kill me—"

Hawthorne screamed in panic, waking up from a nightmare.

“Sang Hua!” Li Lang immediately rushed to her side and held her shoulders. “Don’t be afraid, it’s alright.”
