The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 831 - 793: Anticipation

Old Master Xiao was excited, but those from the Xiao Family collateral branches were all flustered. "A sports event?" What on earth is that? They had grown so big and some had never even participated in any sports event. Now at their age, they were supposed to participate in one.

However, before they could panic and make a fuss about it, Situ Xin had already had the registration forms printed and distributed to them. Each person received one form and had to participate in at least two items.

No matter what, upon receiving the registration forms, despite the reluctance and complaints in their hearts, they only dared to rant a few words at home. After venting, the family gathered together to carefully analyze the registration forms in their hands.

When Xiao Muli received the registration form from Situ Xin, he couldn’t help but wear a wry smile, "Wife, what do you mean by this? Don’t tell me I have to participate too?"

"Of course, you are also a member of the Xiao family, right? I have already told everyone, as long as their health permits, they must participate. You, the Family Head of the Xiao family, of course, have to join as well. Oh, and here’s another form, it’s for your assistant. Remember to give it to him later, have him fill it out and hand it back to me." After finishing, Situ Xin happily went back to catch up on her sleep. She needed to rest early so she could be in good spirits to host the sports event tomorrow.

Situ Xin was really looking forward to this Xiao Family sports event.

Watching his wife leave, Xiao Muli felt helpless. Nevertheless, he seriously looked at the registration form and filled it out earnestly.

The next day at eight o’clock, Situ Xin appeared on time in the front courtyard of the Xiao Family. The people from the Xiao Family collateral branches also wisely arrived on time with their registration forms.

Although the four Old Masters of the Xiao Family had also arrived, their registration forms were blank. Of course, aside from that, each of them also carried a piece of medical evidence issued by a hospital, clearly disregarding what Situ Xin had said the day before.

"Madam, here are our medical certificates showing our ill-health," Second Elder Master Xiao handed over the medical certificates issued by the hospital to Situ Xin.

Situ Xin didn’t reach out to take them, but rather signaled for someone beside her to collect them. "Alright, Liu San, have our doctor check these four Old Masters’ physical condition." Situ Xin was well-prepared.

The four old men of the Xiao Family hadn’t expected Situ Xin to have such a move up her sleeve, even arranging for a doctor specifically.

"Ah, Madam, there’s no need for that, we already went for a checkup at the hospital yesterday," Fourth Elder Master Xiao stepped forward and said.

"Fourth Uncle, I already said yesterday that I don’t wish for anyone to falsify documents," Situ Xin said, looking at the four old men in front of her. Although due to pregnancy Situ Xin couldn’t use Spiritual Energy or Divine Sense, she was still quite proficient in traditional medicine, and she clearly knew the true physical conditions of these three old men.

After finishing speaking, Situ Xin gestured to the people beside her to take these four Elder Masters for a checkup. However, how could these four Elder Masters of the Xiao Family cooperate with the checkup? Once they were checked, it would be revealed that the medical certificates they brought were falsified.

"Ha-ha, Madam, no need for the checks. We are able to endure and participate in this sports event. We’ll go fill out the forms now," Third Elder Master Xiao was the most tactful, thus, he said with a forced smile.

Seeing these four old men cowering in front of Situ Xin, the other people holding medically issued certificates quickly stuffed them into their pockets.

The sports event organized by Situ Xin was completely unlike any regular sports event. It was all various fun games. She knew well that letting those pampered members of the Xiao family actually participate in a real sports event might risk their lives.

However, even this fun games sports event organized by Situ Xin nearly cost those Xiao family members half their lives.

After being severely tormented by Situ Xin, her image in the hearts of the people from the Xiao Family collateral branches soared to a terrifying status akin to that of their Family Head.

Also, those four old fellows from the Xiao Family once again realized the prowess of Situ Xin, the newly appointed lady of the house, capable of creating quite the stir.

"Big Brother, we better stay away from this lady of the house in the future," said Third Elder Master Xiao, who had suffered under Situ Xin’s hands, "I think she might even be fiercer than Xiao Muli, our Family Head."

Fourth Uncle Xiao also nodded in agreement. He had to admit that the current Family Head and Mistress of the Xiao Family were not to be underestimated, and neither he nor his spouse were their matches. "Big Brother, I think we should just keep to ourselves from now on, and stop making troubles. I’m afraid if we continue to oppose the Family Head, sooner or later, the four of us will be driven out of the Xiao Family."

Eldest Master Xiao didn’t refute the words of Third Elder Master Xiao or Fourth Elder Master Xiao. Smoking his pipe silently, his silence itself was an affirmation of his stance. He agreed with them and felt that they were indeed getting old.

Situ Xin and Xiao Muli had never expected that the sports fest would tame the four most troublesome members of the Xiao Family’s collateral branches.

However, the fun sports event organized by Situ Xin was beneficial in that it brought Xiao Muli, the Family Head, closer to those from the Xiao Family’s collateral branches who were about the same age and had some capabilities, and significantly softened the aloof and authoritative image of Xiao Muli.

At the Xiao Family Old Mansion, no one constantly nagged Situ Xin to drink this or that, making her days quite comfortable. Also, because she had been pregnant for over three months now, Xiao Muli had lessened many restrictions on her. She had just been permitted by Xiao Muli to go out shopping, although under the condition that she was accompanied by bodyguards.

Xiao Muli had intended to personally accompany Situ Xin for the outing, but just as he was about to leave, a problem arose with the Xiao family’s armory requiring his attention. Situ Xin was not willing to postpone the outing, so Xiao Muli had no choice but to allow the bodyguards to accompany her.

Situ Xin knew this was already pushing Xiao Muli’s limits, so after some thought, she agreed.

Situ Xin’s temperament during pregnancy, although good and not overly absurd, was somewhat due to the three fruits she had consumed before. However, her interests had changed noticeably.

For instance, shopping was something Situ Xin had previously dismissed, but now, she found herself quite drawn to it.

"Wife, this bag suits you well. I’ve put the cell phone and wallet inside. Feel free to buy whatever you want, Assistant Mo will handle the payments. I’ll come to join you as soon as I finish here," Xiao Muli tenderly instructed as he handed the bag to Situ Xin.

"Ah, I got it. It’s just a shopping trip, aren’t you being a bit much?" Situ Xin looked at Xiao Muli’s fussing appearance with resignation. It was just a pregnancy, after all.

Xiao Muli did not argue with Situ Xin any further. He turned around, adopted a serious expression, and spoke to Assistant Mo, "Assistant Mo, I’m entrusting my wife to you. You know what to pay attention to." Assistant Mo was also part of Xiao Muli’s covert operations and one of the few women involved.

"Yes, Master, I understand. I’ll ensure the Mistress’s safety," Assistant Mo, aware of how important Situ Xin was to Xiao Muli, honestly admired her. Having seen for herself the skills of the Mistress, who was no less impressive than their Master, she was truly excited at being tasked with protecting her.

"Mm," Xiao Muli was satisfied with Assistant Mo’s response. He turned to the two bodyguards: "You also know your responsibilities, right?"

"Yes, Family Head, we do," the two bodyguards responded emotionlessly.

Situ Xin gazed at Xiao Muli’s ceaseless concerns with a headache, "Ah, Muli, you better go back in. Don’t keep your people waiting. We are heading out now. Bye." After saying this, Situ Xin pulled Assistant Mo along and got into the car. Under Xiao Muli’s helpless expression, they set off for the mall.

Situ Xin found Assistant Mo quite agreeable. At least, she felt a sense of goodwill from her. Thus, having nothing else to do in the car, Situ Xin unexpectedly initiated a conversation with Assistant Mo, which would surely surprise Mei and the others. "Assistant Mo, what’s your name?"

"Mo Qian." Mo Qian did not expect her Mistress to start a conversation with her voluntarily. Knowing her Mistress, Mo Qian knew she wasn’t usually warm-hearted. Thus, Mo Qian felt quite honored by her Mistress’s initiative. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"The name is not bad. You look quite young. Seems like you’re about my age. However, your clothes are way too old-fashioned," Situ Xin commented as she looked at Mo Qian’s outfit with a look of disdain.

Mo Qian’s facial expression cracked upon hearing her Mistress’s words. Unsure of how to continue, she was relieved when the car came to a stop at their destination.

"Mistress, we have arrived. It’s time to get off," Mo Qian noted their arrival with a breath of relief.

"Oh, we’ve arrived so quickly. Let’s get off then," Situ Xin glanced outside the window and remarked.

After getting out of the car, Situ Xin adjusted her clothes and told Mo Qian, "Let’s start by browsing the women’s clothing." Situ Xin had seldom gone shopping over the years, and this was indeed the first time she was so excited about it.
