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

"Xie Shu! Let her go!" Li Lang arrived late.

Seeing Huo Sanghua struggling against Xie Shu from afar, Xie Shu immediately became murderous and strode over, dragging Huo Sanghua away from Xie Shu.

As they pulled her along, the slender Hawthorne was like a rootless petal rising in a raging storm.

With just a light touch, it seemed as if it could trip her up.

Li Lang shielded her behind him before speaking angrily, "What are you trying to do!"

Caught off guard by Li Lang, Xie Shu was pulled over by Li Lang in a short while. He was worried about Sang Hua, but he was also in the wrong. He tried to maintain his composure and explained, "A Lin is injured. Sang Hua is worried about A Lin. I just don't want her to go in and see that bloody scene."

Upon hearing that Xie Lin was injured, Li Lang's eyes darkened for only a moment before he turned to look at the flustered Sang Hua—

"Sang Hua, don't worry, I'll have all the imperial physicians come over right away to treat Xie Lin."

But the imperial physicians had already come.

Before Huo Sanghua could reply to Li Lang, he suddenly heard a low growl, seemingly from Xie Lin, coming from the side hall. His head buzzed, and he lost all reason. "...What's wrong? What's going on? Xie Lin... Xie Lin!"

"I'll go check on him, don't come in." Xie Shu glanced at Sang Hua behind Li Lang, confirming for the time being that Sang Hua was safe.

For Xie Lin's safety, we can only go to the side hall to check on Xie Lin's condition before making any further plans.

Seeing Xie Shu go inside, Huo Sanghua also wanted to go check on Xie Lin's condition...

To her surprise, Li Lang stopped her again, saying, "You shouldn't go in."

Hawthorne looked up blankly, tears streaming down his face.

“Didn’t they say Xie Lin was injured? Since he needs treatment, the scene inside must be bloody. You’ve never seen anything like it before, so you should stay outside and wait for news.” He couldn’t bear to let Sang Hua see the bloody scene.

Deep down, she didn't want to see Sang Hua worrying about Xie Lin and looking exhausted.

He blocked Sang Hua's path, scrutinizing her from head to toe. "Sang Hua, are you injured?"

Upon hearing Li Lang's question, Huo Sanghua immediately became alert, her gaze towards him turning icy. "You want me to get hurt, don't you? I should be the one who's hurt, but Xie Lin got injured saving me!"

The person in front of you is the real culprit who caused Xie Lin to lie inside on the verge of death!

She believed that Li Lang had eliminated her; otherwise, who else would have the ability to arrange assassins in the palace specifically to kill her?

Compared to everyone else present at the time, her life was the least worth mentioning, yet the assassins specifically targeted her. Who else could it be but Li Lang?

"You doubt me?" Li Lang immediately sensed the hostility in Huo Sanghua's words.

She clearly suspected him of trying to kill her, but Xie Lin took an arrow in order to save her.

Huo Sanghua remained silent, simply staring at Li Lang. She had been deceived by him once before, and she knew all too well the extent to which he would stop at nothing to obtain the throne. Li Lang wanted her to die as a member of the Xie family; perhaps no one wanted her dead more than Li Lang...

In her past life, she trusted Li Lang so much, yet she was still deceived by him and married into the Xie family.

If she hadn't overheard Li Lang conspiring with others to kill her at the Xie family's residence, thus giving him leverage over the Xie family and turning them into pawns in his game, she would never have believed it...

Her beloved brother Lang is determined to kill her!

"Sang Hua, why are you looking at me like that?" Li Lang asked anxiously, eager to prove to her that what happened in the palace today had nothing to do with him. "It wasn't me! No matter what, I would never harm you! If I wanted to kill Xie Lin, I would naturally go after him. There's nothing to hide! Why would I put you in danger?!"

But Hawthorne, who had died once before, was unwilling to believe his explanation.

“I swear to you!” Li Lang raised his right hand solemnly and swore to the heavens, “If I have any intention to harm you, may I die a horrible death. Sang Hua, you can doubt everyone, but you cannot doubt me. My feelings for you are all from the bottom of my heart. This time, I absolutely did not want to harm you! Your actions... ...make me very sad.”

Huo Sanghua was worried about Xie Lin's condition and found Li Lang's oath laughable.

swear?

If vows could be kept, didn't he also swear before that he would marry her? In the end, he still begged her to marry into the Xie family...

She had initially thought that the Xie family was Li Lang's way of securing her safety, a way of protecting her from a bad end if he were to vie for the throne...

But didn't I hear it with my own ears? He wanted her to die in the Xie family!

A hint of melancholy lingered in his smile...

This was the man she once trusted implicitly.

"Li Lang, can I still trust you?" These cold words came from her mouth. She had completely given up on Li Lang when she died in her previous life.

Inside the main hall of Yuyang Palace, after the imperial physician checked His Majesty's pulse and confirmed that there were no problems, he withdrew with Eunuch Cai.

"Everyone, please leave," His Majesty said.

Consort Qi, who was serving beside him, was taken aback. She looked at Marquis Xie standing in the hall and immediately understood what His Majesty meant.

Without making a sound, he rose and led the palace servants out of the hall. As soon as he stepped out of the main hall, glancing sideways, he saw Li Lang holding Huo Sanghua, standing outside a side hall, swearing an oath...

Instantly, a sense of gloom gathered between his brows.

It's her again...

She hated her son for being so useless, but she couldn't blame him entirely; after all, he was her son and her only support for the rest of her life. Even though she deeply resented Li Lang's relentless pursuit of Sang Hua, she could only place all the blame on Huo Sang Hua.

She was convinced that it was Hawthorne's shameless seduction of Lang'er that made Lang'er so attached to her.

"Your Highness," Yunqiao naturally witnessed the scene as well, and seeing the fire burning in Consort Qi's eyes, she seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. "What a coincidence, she ran into our Fourth Prince again? This Huo Sanghua is really something else. Every time something happens, someone always rushes to help. Xie's second son risked his life to save her, so why is she still entangled with our Fourth Prince?"

"Humph--"

Consort Qi snorted softly, full of dissatisfaction, and fiercely tugged at the handkerchief in her hand.

After being instigated by Yunqiao, she naturally felt that everything was Huo Sanghua's doing. She was inseparable from Xie Erlang one minute, and then she turned around and started flirting with her Lang'er the next. She was really shameless!

Previously, Huo Sanghua exposed Yunqiao's malicious intentions to her face, and Li Lang also decided to punish her severely.

If it weren't for Consort Qi intervening to save her, she probably wouldn't even be alive right now...

Yunqiao knew in her heart that she had no future with the Fourth Prince, so she naturally vented all her resentment on Huo Sanghua.

"Your Highness, our Fourth Prince originally intended to use this opportunity to strengthen ties with the Xie family, but Huo Sanghua's interference has caused trouble. Won't they become enemies in the future? That Huo Sanghua is truly a vixen. Your Highness raised her, and she should be grateful for Your Highness's kindness and wholeheartedly pave the way for our Fourth Prince... But now it seems she's scheming for herself."

Consort Qi almost ground her back teeth to powder.

Especially looking at Hawthorne's face, the more she looked, the angrier she got... "Just like her vixen mother! Always trying to seduce men!"

Yunqiao couldn't help but chuckle to herself, but then she suddenly felt something was off. Huo Sanghua's mother? A vixen?

The woman Consort Qi mentioned shouldn't be the legitimate wife of the Huo family, nor Consort Qi's sister... Could it be General Huo's mistress?
