The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 829 - 792: Organizing a Sports Day

As soon as Xiao Muli made his statement, the four old folks of the Xiao Family felt as if they had been pardoned, and they hurriedly stood up. Eldest Master Xiao spoke on their behalf, "Then the four of us won’t disturb the Family Head and Lady Situ Xin any longer." After saying that, the four men left without looking back.

Situ Xin, while eating, watched the four men scurry away. She pouted disdainfully, but fortunately, she didn’t vocalize any objections.

However, Situ Xin watched the backs of the four old men from the Xiao Family departing and complained to Xiao Muli, "They really act as if we are terrifying monsters ready to devour them. But, Muli, why did you let them just leave like that? Why didn’t you ask them to stay and chat with me? I’m utterly bored."

After hearing Situ Xin’s words, Xiao Muli’s lips twitched. Having those four old men stay to chat with his wife would probably have driven them to collapse. Still, he wasn’t going to consider their life and safety. Xiao Muli comforted Situ Xin, saying, "Wife, once you’ve rested properly, you can call them over to chat and kill some time."

Hearing this, Situ Xin nodded satisfied. Meanwhile, the four old men who had just left suddenly felt a chill run down their backs and a sense of foreboding, but they quickly dismissed this fleeting feeling.

The next day, when the four of them had put aside their worries and were comfortably sipping tea and chatting, while also thinking about how to plot against Xiao Muli, the man who had helped Xiao Muli relay messages appeared again. He said to the four old men, "Gentlemen, our Lady Situ Xin invites you for a talk."

While saying this, the messenger couldn’t help but think to himself, "These folks are in for it having been summoned for a talk by the Lady."

"What? Your Lady calls us for a talk?" Third Elder Master Xiao was the first to react, getting up from his chair, almost grabbing the messenger to make him deny it.

"Yes, Third Elder, my Lady invites you for a talk," said the man who delivered the message.

"Did your Lady mention what she wants to discuss?" Eldest Master Xiao was the calmest one, though whether he was truly calm or just pretending was hard to tell.

"I don’t know; I’m just the messenger. You gentlemen will find out when you get there. Oh right, my Lady mentioned, please hurry up so as not to keep her waiting too long." After speaking, the messenger quickly left.

Left behind, the four old men of the Xiao Family looked at each other, unsure of how to react.

But, today’s Xiao Family was no longer what it used to be. These men were no match for Xiao Muli. They had experienced Xiao Muli’s methods and were genuinely fearful. So, sighing, the four men took their pipes and headed towards the Xiao Family Old Mansion. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

This time, it wasn’t just the four old men who received Situ Xin’s message; many members of the Xiao Family collateral branches had also been invited by Lady Situ Xin to the Xiao Family Old Mansion to chat.

When the Xiao Family’s four old men arrived at the mansion, they were stunned by the bustling crowd inside.

Meanwhile, the members of the Xiao Family collateral branches, upon seeing the four old men, seemed to find a pillar of support and eagerly asked, "Elders, do you know why the Lady has called all of us here?"

"Could it be that she really wants to eliminate all the Xiao Family collateral branches?"

"That can’t be, right? How will we survive then?" Those who relied on the Xiao Family wailed out loud.

Listening to the chaotic voices around, the four old men were extremely headache-ridden. They were already anxious, and the questioning voices only aggravated their irritation. "Enough, everyone be quiet. We don’t know the specifics either; we just got the message that the Lady wants to speak with us. So, let’s just wait for the Lady to appear." Though they were curious about why they had been summoned. Elder Master Xiao’s call settled everyone down.

Situ Xin didn’t make them wait too long, as she came out accompanied by Uncle Zhong, who was carrying some refreshments.
