After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Although there was a lot of distance between them, Xiao Xuetang still felt that Lin Xun's gaze was on her.

Such a sharp gaze seemed tangible, making Xiao Xuetang feel as if he was grasped by a huge hand and couldn't move at all.

Just as Xiao Xuetang's forehead began to sweat, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, blocking her...

"Tangtang, don't be afraid..."

Lin Shaoshu spoke in his usual gentle voice, with a sachet embroidered with bamboo leaves hanging around his waist. The familiar scent of bamboo leaves and green grass on his body made Xiao Xuetang's stomach churn!

She recalled how Lin Shaoshu was cold and mean to her in her previous life, and how he was extremely affectionate with Ye Jin. Before she could react rationally, her body had already retreated uncontrollably.

It had rained last night, and the bluestone road was very slippery. Suddenly, she slipped and was about to fall, but a hand firmly held her waist...

"Be careful."

The overbearing scent of agarwood on the man instantly dispelled the smell of bamboo leaves at the tip of her nose, and finally made Xiao Xuetang feel better.

He thus overlooked that the hand holding her waist was too hot, and lingered for a moment through the thin silk.

But the man quickly withdrew his hand after the girl stood firm, his expression as cold as ever.

Lin Shaoshu's hand, which was about to help Xiao Xuetang, hung in mid-air.

There was a hint of shock and confusion in his eyes...

Obviously he didn't expect Xiao Xuetang to dodge his hand. What shocked him even more was that he saw fear and disgust in Xiao Xuetang's eyes.

All this happened in a flash. Marquis Yong'an only saw that Xiao Xuetang seemed to have almost fallen down, and was then helped up by Lin Xun.

After Xiao Xuetang stood still, before she could thank Lin Xun, Lin Shaoshu came forward and separated them without saying a word.

The two were very close to each other, and Xiao Xuetang felt sick again, but it was not the case in the eyes of others.

The man was as gentle as jade, the girl was charming, and behind them was a large field of crabapple flowers as the background. Everything was beautiful like a painting...

Lin Xun thought of the tenderness under his palm just now, and a hint of sharpness flashed across his eyes.

Marquis Yong'an was originally very angry, but when he saw the perfect couple in front of him, his anger subsided a little.

Thinking... they're already engaged, and they only met through the wall, and they didn't do anything inappropriate, his expression wasn't as ugly as before, and he said solemnly: "When the Third Prince comes to the mansion in the future, please go through the main gate."

I have to say that the Xiao family's father and daughter are surprisingly similar in their looks.

Young Master Lin also came back to his senses, and quickly restored his gentlemanly demeanor. He stood in front of Xiao Xuetang and said to Lin Xun and Yong'an Hou: "Uncle, Marquis, it was my fault today, please don't blame Tangtang."

Seeing Xiao Xuetang's gentle expression, he explained: "Tangtang is timid, don't scare her."

As he spoke, he stood in front of Xiao Xuetang calmly, blocking Lin Xun's sight intentionally or unintentionally...

Although he knew that the emperor's uncle had never been interested in women, for some reason, the glance he gave Xiao Xuetang just now made Lin Shaoshu feel a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart!

Somehow, it seemed that the things that should have belonged to him were gradually drifting away from him...

Lin Xun frowned slightly.

He has never liked to meddle in other people's business. Today he thought he was going to catch an assassin, but he didn't expect to catch a young couple in the Marquis' Mansion having a secret meeting. He was even treated with such a... defensive look!

"Ah."

Lin Xun sneered and ignored the alert Lin Shaoshu, saying, "Marquis Yong'an should take care of family affairs first. I will take my leave now."

Lin Xun never showed his emotions on his face, and he was wearing a mask, so others naturally couldn't see the changes in his expression. Only Xiao Xuetang... keenly felt that his deep eyes seemed to have become darker, and only later did she realize that the skin on his waist, which she had just supported, was a little hot.

Seeing Lin Xun walk away with his sleeves swung, Lin Shaoshu heaved a sigh of relief...

He must have been overthinking it just now. The emperor's uncle has never been interested in women in these years. He was not even attracted by the most charming dancer in the Western Regions. How could he possibly fall in love with Tangtang?

However, Yong'an Hou was a little uneasy and asked, "Is the prince... angry?"

But what kind of anger was he getting? !

"Father, I'm a little tired."

Yong'an Hou turned around and saw Xiao Xuetang standing there. Her face was pale and indeed not looking very well. He said with a rare fatherly heart, "Good boy, you must have been frightened by the Regent. Go back and have a rest. I won't tell your mother about what happened today."

Seeing Xiao Xuetang standing there without moving, Yong'an Hou belatedly realized that this was his daughter's yard, so he looked at Lin Shaoshu and said, "Third Prince, let's go."

Lin Shaoshu did not move, but stared at Xiao Xuetang as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

He grew up with Xiao Xuetang and knew her too well. He could tell that Xiao Xuetang seemed to be hiding something from him today, but he couldn't say much in front of Marquis Yong'an.

"Tangtang, the day after tomorrow is the fifteenth. I will be waiting for you in the palace."

Maybe there was some misunderstanding between the two of them during these three months, and they can clarify it on the day they enter the palace.

Lin Shaoshu's identity made it inconvenient for him to go out, so on the first and fifteenth day of every month, Xiao Xuetang would go to the palace and bring him some news about the Xie family.

In the previous life, Xiao Xuetang was stupid and didn't know that his grandfather moved his family south to Dongshan to avoid disaster and didn't want to get involved in the disputes in the court. But for Lin Shaoshu, Xiao Xuetang urged his grandfather to return to the court several times, which caused Wang's fear. In the end, in order to support Lin Shaoshu to take the throne, the Xie family was seriously injured.

Xiao Xuetang sneered in her heart. Did Lin Shaoshu still expect her to be as stupid as she was in her previous life and devote all her efforts to his throne?

dream!

Xiao Xuetang ignored Lin Shaoshu and went into the house with her maid. Looking at Xiao Xuetang's thin back, Lin Shaoshu felt more and more uneasy.

Xiao Xuetang was not like this before.

The two of them depended on each other in Chang'an. Xiao Xuetang relied on her very much, but why was she so cold today?

However, with Marquis Yong'an watching him covetously, Lin Shaoshu curled up a helpless smile at the corner of his lips and followed Marquis Yong'an to the study.

"Miss, it's rare for His Majesty the Third Prince to see you, why did you leave like this?"

Bi Hen didn't understand what was going on at this time, so she asked curiously. Even Qi Yue felt strange: "Yes, Miss, every time you saw the Third Prince in the past, you always had endless things to say. Why are you so cold today?"

Xiao Xuetang said calmly: "Nothing, because I had a dream last night, I dreamed that Lin Shaoshu was not my ideal match."

Bi Hen originally thought there was some reason, but after hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss, dreams are the opposite of reality, please stop imagining."

"Besides, the Marquis has already returned to Kyoto this time, and the Third Prince has made great contributions in flood control in Huaizhou. Even if the Third Prince does not mention it, the Queen Mother will definitely make the decision for you, young lady."

After all, the marriage between Xiao Xuetang and Lin Shaoshu was granted by the late emperor.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuetang couldn't help but frown...
