The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 820 - 786 Unreliable Mom (2)

A woman who was just passing by also joined in and said: "It’s truly enviable. It’s not just the grandeur of the wedding banquet that I envy, but also how lucky you, the Xiao Family, are to have snatched Xiao Xin away. You have no idea, so many families in our courtyard wanted to marry her. Oh, I was even thinking, once Xiao Xin graduated, I would matchmake her with someone, but I was too late." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

"You didn’t miss by just a step but several steps. Xiao Xin is already pregnant with Muli’s child. Liu Yun, before long you’ll be upgraded to a grandmother, and I’m extremely envious."

Listening to everyone praising Situ Xin, this cursed girl, Liu Yun’s jealousy surged up. The smile on her face faded, and she said with a grim face to the women speaking: "What’s there to be envious about? Hmph. If it weren’t for the child saying it’s ours Muli’s, our Xiao Family might not have accepted her at all. As a mother-in-law, I really don’t like her, and moreover, whether the child in her belly is really Muli’s or not, we’ll only know after the child is born and tested."

After saying this, Liu Yun left, leaving a crowd of stunned people behind.

After Liu Yun dropped such a bomb and left, the women gathered there left with heavy hearts. Some thought to themselves, what’s really going on with Liu Yun? To say such things in front of everyone, truly lacking in manners, no wonder the Xiao Family disliked her and didn’t welcome her. This, of course, was what those in the know thought.

And there were those who already harbored various displeasures towards Situ Xin. Jealousy and envy. But they had never found anything to criticize about Situ Xin before. After hearing Liu Yun’s words, they thought to themselves, I knew it. How could Situ Xin be as good as everyone says? Pregnant before marriage, and maybe not even the Xiao family’s kin.

Due to these words from Liu Yun, and with the help of interested parties, the news quickly spread around the courtyard. On the morning Situ Xin came home, Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Xiao inadvertently heard the people in the courtyard gossiping that Situ Xin’s child was not Xiao Muli’s, but some illegitimate child from who knows where.

They said Situ Xin looked outstanding, but actually had a terrible moral character.

Upon hearing these words, both old madams were so angry they almost fainted. To have someone slander their treasure like this! Immediately, the two old madams couldn’t stay calm, rushed out, and caught a few people, questioning them where they heard these things from.

Those who spread rumors behind closed doors were caught red-handed and were terribly embarrassed. But under the intense questioning of the two old madams, they ended up pinning it all on Liu Yun.

"Go back and rest for now, if there’s anything, I’ll get in touch with you," Xiao Muli, after venting his anger, calmed his emotions and spoke to his assistant.

"Alright, BOSS," said Xiao Muli’s assistant, who could be counted as one of the people most aware of the situation between Situ Xin and Xiao Muli. He had been present from start to finish when Xiao Muli was drugged before. Thus, he knew why his BOSS was so angry after seeing this investigation report.

Xiao Muli’s assistant thought to himself, how could his own BOSS have such an unreliable mother?

After his assistant left, Xiao Muli sat in his study alone for a long time, until it gradually began to get dark. When Situ Xin came to call him for dinner, he finally snapped out of it.

"Hey, Xiao Muli, what have you been doing sitting in the study all afternoon?" As Xiao Muli opened the door and came out, Situ Xin put her hands on her hips and questioned in an accusing manner. Situ Xin did this on purpose. Actually, she knew what his assistant was there for the moment he appeared with his briefcase. Clearly, it was because of the things his mother had said behind his back. And Xiao Muli sitting in the study all afternoon was certainly because of this.

Situ Xin, knowing this, didn’t disturb Xiao Muli in the study that afternoon because she felt that at such times, Xiao Muli would prefer to be alone.
