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

Xiao Xuetang, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly felt a chill on her back.

The rules of the palace were different from those of other places. There were no separate rooms in this courtyard for the maids who kept watch at night. Xiao Xuetang was reluctant to let Qiyue and Bihen sleep on the floor, so he asked them to find another room to live in.

But Xiao Xuetang had a problem with choosing her seats, and she couldn't sleep well in an unfamiliar environment.

As if she had a premonition, she suddenly opened her eyes...

The cold moonlight shone in through the rosewood carved window. In the dim light, a black figure was seen standing in front of the bed, casting a shadow.

She was awakened from her doze in an instant, her hair stood on end, and her first reaction was to reach for the self-defense dagger hidden beside her pillow and stab the other person!

In her previous life, after she married Lin Shaoshu, before Lin Shaoshu truly took power and ascended to that position, she lived under the flash of swords and the shadow of sabers almost every day.

By accident, she saved a female assassin who was being hunted by her enemies. In order to repay her, the female assassin taught her some self-defense tricks.

She doesn't know Kung Fu and is not very strong, but in the words of a female assassin, weakness can be a deadly weapon when used appropriately to lower the opponent's guard!

In her new life, she not only relearned medicine, but also practiced the self-defense skills that the female assassin in her previous life had taught her. She would practice wrist strength with a dagger on a wooden stake every day.

At first she could only leave shallow marks on the wooden stake, but later she was able to stab the dagger deeply into the wooden stake with great speed, accuracy and ruthlessness.

The female assassin didn't teach her many tricks, but they were enough to kill the enemy with one blow when the enemy was off guard!

The girl's slender wrist held the cold, glowing blade, but her speed of attack was unexpectedly fast, accurate and ruthless, completely different from her delicate and harmless appearance.

but……

What Xiao Xuetang never expected was that the skills she thought she had practiced for a long time were vulnerable in front of the opponent. The opponent easily grabbed her wrist and took the dagger from her hand.

“It’s been sharpened?”

The man's voice was cold and low, with an inexplicable familiarity...

Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew away, dispersing the clouds that blocked the moonlight. Her eyes also adapted to the dimness in the room. Only then did Xiao Xuetang see the other person's appearance clearly and was shocked!

"My Lord, why are you here?"

The person who appeared here was none other than Lin Xun.

Lin Xun was silent for a while, and then he said after a while: "I should be asking you this question."

He hadn't been back to Villa Garden for a while, and not only had his dog run away with someone, but how come even his yard had been divided up in half? !

Even through the mask, Xiao Xuetang could sense Lin Xun's obvious resentful gaze. She was confused for a moment before she reacted and said, "My Lord, is this your room?"

She said that the yard was cleaned neatly, and although there seemed to be few pieces of furniture, they were all complete, and it didn't look like no one lived there.

But Xiao Xuetang never expected that this was Lin Xun's yard!

She immediately jumped up from the bed like a cat with its fur standing on end, bowed and apologized with a pale face, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I really didn't know..."

With a "chi" sound, Lin Xun used a tinder to light the oil lamp beside him, and the whole room was instantly brightly lit.

The girl was standing there naked in a single layer of clothing, with a pale face. She looked extremely pitiful, completely different from the resolute look she had just shown when she was holding the dagger...

Which one is the real her?

Lin Xun felt a subtle curiosity in his heart at this moment. Not only because of the dream, he also gradually became curious about the real Xiao Xuetang.

Although Xiao Xuetang has been spending more time with Lin Xun these days, Xiao Xuetang is still a little afraid of Lin Xun.

Not only are there all these rumors in the court about Lin Xun being ruthless, but there are also some factors from his past life...

Perhaps sensing the girl's uneasiness, Lin Xun took a step back, keeping a safe distance from Xiao Xuetang, and explained to her, "Most of the courtyards in Shuiyunju have been abandoned. This is the only place that is often cleaned. It's normal for grandma to arrange for you to live here."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "I came back late at night and didn't let anyone know, so I didn't know there was someone living in the yard. I thought it was an assassin who came in, not an intentional offense."

"Also... this room is just a side room of the East Garden, not my room."

The East Garden is the most spacious courtyard in the entire Shuiyunju. It has three rooms, and the one in the middle is Lin Xun’s master bedroom.

Even if Nanny Song wanted to bring Xiao Xuetang and Lin Xun together, she couldn't be so foolish as to let Xiao Xuetang live in Lin Xun's bedroom. In addition, according to Lin Xun's habit, it usually takes at least half a month to practice in Huguo Temple. This time, she really didn't expect Lin Xun to come back in the middle of the night.

If she had known this earlier, Nanny Song would never have suggested letting Xiao Xuetang live here.

When Xiao Xuetang heard that this was not where Lin Xun lived, the breath he had been holding in his throat finally let out a sigh of relief.

Under the candlelight, the mask worn by Lin Xun emitted a cold light, but his tone was unexpectedly gentle. The softer Lin Xun's tone was, the more guilty Xiao Xuetang felt.

She is completely judging others by her own mean standards!

"Don't misunderstand me, Your Majesty. I don't doubt you..."

If any man broke into the room late at night, Xiao Xuetang would have reason to suspect that he had bad intentions, but this was different with Lin Xun!

In his past and present lives, he was known for not being interested in women.

But at this moment, there was a "clang" sound, and the dagger that was taken away by Lin Xun fell to the ground.

There was silence in the room again...

Lin Xun glanced at the dagger on the ground and took the initiative to break the silence: "Do you like to sleep with a dagger as your pillow?"

Xiao Xuetang...

This is a habit I developed in the palace, and I can't change it now that I'm in an unfamiliar environment.

but……

In Lin Xun's eyes, would he suspect that this was a sign of her distrust of the people in the palace?

What’s even worse is that there was some blood on the dagger!

Xiao Xuetang remembered that her dagger had not only been sharpened, but also the master who forged it said that this dagger was a family heirloom that could cut through iron like mud. At first, Xiao Xuetang thought that the other party was exaggerating, but this dagger could even hurt Lin Xun... It seemed that the master forger was being too modest.

So, she...she not only occupied Lin Xun's yard, but also injured Lin Xun...

Xiao Xuetang felt that he could pack his luggage and prepare to return to the Marquis' Mansion.

From Lin Xun's perspective, Xiao Xuetang kept his head down, looking at the dagger on the ground, his round back of the head...

It looks like... a bit like Langya is sulking!

When Lin Xun was young, he was obsessed with martial arts, and later he received training in the military camp. He had very few opportunities to spend time with girls.

He had raised Langya for all these years, so he naturally knew why Langya was angry and aggrieved; but he had never raised a little girl, so he didn't know that he had already explained why he appeared in the villa tonight and why Xiao Xuetang ignored him.

The regent, who was always in control of the situation, was unusually confused, but after a moment, he suddenly reacted!

"Don't be sad either."

Xiao Xuetang???

Lin Xun consoled him: "Your strength and speed were great when you attacked me just now. Although you didn't hurt me, at least you cut my hand."

Xiao Xuetang...
