The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 823 - 788: Investigation Confession (2)

However, this time, Xiao Guobing was not prepared to simply back down. "This matter isn’t something you can resolve by apologizing to Xiao Xin. I’ll give you a choice. Either go to the courtyard tomorrow and explain everything to everyone, and then we’ll go back immediately. The other option is we get a divorce. It’s up to you to decide."

After saying that, Xiao Guobing didn’t even give Liu Yun a glance before turning and going upstairs back to his room. Liu Yun watched the back of her husband, devoid of any hint of reluctance, and couldn’t help but burst into heart-wrenching sobs.

Since Xiao Muli said he would handle this matter, Situ Xin didn’t take the incident with Liu Yun to heart and peacefully stayed at home to nurture her pregnancy.

Situ Xin might not have taken the matter to heart, but the next evening, at the dinner table when only Old Master Xiao and the two of them were left, she asked, "Eh? Where are mom and dad?"

"Oh, they went back because they still have work," Old Master Xiao replied with a smile. Hearing his answer, Situ Xin nodded and didn’t pursue the matter further.

But in her heart, she was thinking: could it be that this matter has simply ended with Xiao Muli’s parents leaving? Soon, Situ Xin’s question was answered. When she went back to her maternal home, she heard her grandma saying, "Oh, it’s good that your mother-in-law went back. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble she would have caused."

"Yes, it’s hard to imagine why the Xiao Family would agree to let such a woman marry in. Thankfully, Old Xiao and Muli are good people. They handled this affair well and didn’t let our Baby suffer any grievances. Otherwise, I would have somewhat regretted letting our Baby marry that youngster Muli," Old Madam Loo followed up.

It was also at this time that Situ Xin learned that her mother-in-law’s departure was not as simple as just leaving. Before she left, her mother-in-law, Liu Yun, accompanied by her father-in-law, Xiao Guobing, went to those few families who had overheard her talking the other day to clarify the situation. She admitted that everything was fabricated by her and none of it was true.

When Situ Xin was three months pregnant, she finally decided to reveal her secret to Xiao Muli.

That evening, after taking a bath, while Xiao Muli was drying her hair, Situ Xin said, "Muli, don’t you think I have a lot of secrets?"

"Uh? You do have a lot of secrets. What about it?" Xiao Muli didn’t take Situ Xin’s words too seriously, as he focused on drying her hair while responding to her remark.

"I was wondering, aren’t you curious, don’t you want to know my secrets?" Situ Xin stopped Xiao Muli from continuing to dry her hair, turned around, looked at him with wide eyes without blinking, and asked.

"I’m curious, but these are your secrets. If you want to tell me, I’ll listen; if you don’t want to speak, then I won’t ask," Xiao Muli replied earnestly to Situ Xin. As astute as Xiao Muli was, how could he have not noticed the secrets about Situ Xin? The man who was said to be Situ Xin’s master, those various elixirs given by her master that seemed so magically effective—everything about them seemed oddly peculiar to Xiao Muli.

But because she was his beloved, he had plenty of questions, yet he had not asked any of them.

"Ah, Muli," hearing Xiao Muli’s words, Situ Xin had to admit that she was touched. "So now I’m ready to tell you my secret, do you want to hear it?"

Xiao Muli, feeling a rush of emotion upon hearing Situ Xin’s words, wasn’t excited because he wanted to know her secrets. He was excited because he felt that Situ Xin truly recognized and loved him, which is why she was willing to share her secrets with him. "Yeah, I’m willing to listen to anything my wife has to say."

"Then close your eyes," Situ Xin gestured for Xiao Muli to close his eyes.

"Huh? Aren’t you going to tell me a secret? Why should I close my eyes?" While Xiao Muli verbally expressed his confusion to Situ Xin, he obediently closed his eyes as she instructed.

"You’ll find out soon." Situ Xin grabbed Xiao Muli’s hand, silently reciting her intention to enter the space in her heart.

Although Xiao Muli could not see, as soon as Situ Xin took him into the space, he sensitively felt the environment around him change.

"Alright, you can open your eyes now," said Situ Xin, full of pride. And in the space, Baibai, hearing the motion, teleported in an instant, appearing in front of Situ Xin and Xiao Muli.
