The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 29 - Progress of Events_1

But, we need to go to sleep now.”

When Situ Xin felt matron Auntie’s breathing had stabilized and sensed she had fallen asleep, Situ Xin opened her eyes.

She didn’t feel sleepy at all; her heart was filled with worry about her family, fearing they would not rest well because of their concern for her.

And at this moment, her mood was becoming increasingly agitated for continually failing to find a solution.

“Ah, if only I could enter the space to cultivate right now,” thought Situ Xin, hoping to calm her restless heart through cultivation.

She figured that maybe if she calmed down, she might come up with a solution.

Usually, when Situ Xin was at home, she would secretly enter the space to cultivate while everyone was asleep.

But tonight, with matron Auntie sleeping next to her, she didn’t dare take the risk of being discovered and enter the space.

After all, Situ Xin was still an infant.

Even though she spent most of the day asleep, today had been a whirlwind.

With her small body exhausted from the day’s events, she was already worn out.

As she pondered over her situation, her eyelids became heavy, and gradually, she drifted into sleep, all the while thinking, “I must find a way tomorrow, I must get back home.”

Situ Xin might have fallen asleep, but it was a sleepless night for many others.

In the military compound of Situ Family, the house was lit up brightly; members of the Situ Family, Loo Family, and Zhang Family all sat in Situ Family’s living room.

Not a single person had left to sleep, as they all waited anxiously for a message from Situ Haotian and Situ Haoran.

Situ Jin was sitting on the staircase with a tense little face, resisting anyone’s efforts to persuade him to sleep.

He said, “I want to wait for my sister to come back.” His simple words made the women present shed tears, and the faces of the old masters grew even more somber.

In the end, it was Old Master Situ who said, “Let him wait.”

In another residence in Capital City, the lights had not been extinguished all night.

After Lv Yan was taken away by Situ Haotian and Situ Haoran, Old Master Lv received a report from his subordinates.

Originally, when he heard that the beloved granddaughter of the Situ Family had been snatched by a maid, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

He had attended the full month celebration of Situ Xin and seen his daughter and granddaughter get reprimanded by two members of the Zhang Family because of the little one from the Situ Family.

Knowing that his status could not compare with theirs, he felt distressed but wisely did not stand up for his daughter and granddaughter.

However, this meant he bore a grudge against Situ Xin.

It was clear to see that Lv Yan was indeed Old Master Lv’s daughter; their tempers were identical, except Old Master Lv knew when to bide his time, a point Lv Yan had yet to reach.

Old Master Lv, initially gleeful about Situ Xin’s kidnapping, suddenly learned that his precious daughter had caused the debacle and that Situ Haotian and Situ Haoran had already retrieved the girl and brought her back to Situ Family.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Lv collapsed into his chair, shocking his guards.

“Old Master Lv, are you alright?” Old Master Lv waved his hand to dismiss the guard.

Once the guard left, Old Master Lv couldn’t contain his fury and slammed his hand onto the table, “That good-for-nothing, actually doing such a thing!

If you’re going to mess up, at least cover your tracks!”

Sitting in his study, the more Old Master Lv thought, the angrier he became, and knowing Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, neither were the type to be lenient.

Lv Yan had snatched away their most beloved granddaughter, and they would surely not let it slide.

Plus, they would likely believe that Lv Yan dared to do this because she had the backing of the Lv Family.

Old Master Lv became increasingly fearful.

He stood up from his chair and walked towards the door, “Call all the Lv Family members back home, there’s been a major incident.”

“Yes,” the guard waiting by the door took the order and went to carry it out.

Everyone knew about Situ Xin being taken but who exactly had taken her was unknown because the incident had not yet become widely known, and the Situ Family had not publicized the matter.

The members of the Lv Family also learned upon their return that it was their own Lv Yan who was responsible.

“Big Brother, Lv Yan has done this, what do we do now?” The second elder of the Lv Family didn’t quite see eye to eye with Old Master Lv, so when he heard his niece had caused trouble for the family, he was concerned, being one of the few who was aware of the Lv Family’s current predicament.

In the wake of Lv Yan’s marriage to Zhang Xinjie, the Lv Family had often been targeted in secret, with many shady issues emerging.

If any higher-level official decided to investigate the Lv Family, their downfall would not be far off.

“Big Brother, you must handle this properly, or our Lv Family is truly done for.” The second elder of the Lv Family grumbled under his breath, discontent, “If you can’t even manage a child properly, how can you lead the Lv Family as the Family Head?”

“Second Uncle, you’re taking this too seriously.

It’s just a small mistake my sister made.

We’ll just apologize to the Situ Family.

They couldn’t possibly have the means to destroy our Lv Family, could they?” said Lv Jie, the only son of Old Master Lv, with disdain.

It was evident that Old Master Lv’s parenting was lacking.

Lv Jie was a complete playboy, proficient in all vices.
