The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 36 - Trivial Matters (1)_1

They stood there, seemingly deep in thought.

When Situ Xin saw her little brother, Situ Jin, looking so resolute in his determination to protect her, warmth filled her heart.

She was aware of her brother’s intelligence; he was an absolute genius.

Since her brother wanted to protect her, she would support him in this.

In fact, there was a reason why Situ Xin wanted to help Situ Jin.

She also felt that with Situ Jin’s current progress in his studies, going to school was truly a waste of time; he’d be better off doing what he wanted.

As Situ Haotian was about to scold Situ Jin again, Situ Xin quickly stretched out her hand and hugged Old Master Situ’s neck.

Then she sweetly said, “Grandpa.”

Old Master Situ, who was originally prepared to go down and help scold Situ Jin, immediately brightened up with a smile at the call of “Grandpa,” quickly dismissing his prior thoughts.

However, Situ Xin had not forgotten what she wanted to do; she stretched out a hand and pointed in the direction of Situ Jin, indicating she wanted to go there.

Old Master Situ, who always treated his precious granddaughter’s wishes as commands, holding Situ Xin, said, “Alright, grandpa will take the baby down right away.”

“You little rascal, you…” Just as Situ Haotian began to scold Situ Jin, Situ Xin called out, “Daddy.” That single word, “daddy,” instantly made Situ Haotian swallow the scolding he was about to give Situ Jin, and the anger on his face disappeared in an instant.

“Eh, daddy’s darling.

You’re up so early,” Situ Haotian said, looking fondly at this treasure he had just regained.

He really wanted to go up and hold her, but seeing his own father’s manner, he didn’t reach out his hand because he knew that even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to hold her.

“Baby, did you only see your daddy?” Old Madam asked Situ Xin with a look of feigned sorrow, while Loo Yaxin echoed, “Right, baby, you forgot about mommy too.”

On hearing this, Situ Xin felt like black lines were forming on her forehead; why did everyone in the house act like this?

As soon as Situ Xin called someone, those who weren’t called at the scene all looked extremely hurt.

This left Situ Xin speechless.

“Grandma, mommy,” she called out, and only then did the two of them break out into happy smiles.

“Brother, pick me up,” Situ Xin called out to Situ Jin, who was sitting on the sofa, reaching out her hand.

“Sister,” Situ Jin said, smiling when he saw his sister, the tension on his little face fading away.

Looking at Situ Jin and then at Situ Xin, Old Master Situ made up his mind.

“Haotian, let Jin stay at home with the baby,” he said.

As soon as Old Master Situ finished speaking, Situ Haotian disagreed, saying, “Dad, although Jin is smart, he still needs to attend school, or it might delay his future.”

“I have my own plans for this matter.

Do you think I would harm my own grandson?” Old Master Situ understood the situation with this grandson very well.

He also felt that Situ Jin was not suited for following a regular curriculum at school.

Besides, he had his own plans in mind.

Although Situ Haotian strongly disagreed with his father’s decision, since his father had spoken, he could no longer oppose it.

Now that Situ Jin knew he didn’t have to go to school anymore, he immediately shed the unhappiness from before, taking Situ Xin’s small hand and saying, “Sister, from now on, your brother will always be with you to play.

Plus, I will protect you and not let any bad people bully you.”

Situ Xin looked at the excited expression on Situ Jin’s face and wasn’t sure what face to make herself.

Just now, when Old Master Situ spoke, she had noticed a glint of sharpness in his eyes.

If she wasn’t wrong, her brother’s days at home would not be easy.

These past few days, Situ Xin had been feeling rather down.

During the day, Situ Jin would occasionally find time in between his studies to play with her.

The day after Situ Jin announced he wouldn’t go to school, Old Master Situ found him several tutors of various disciplines.

Situ Xin realized that Old Master Situ intended to develop Situ Jin into a versatile talent.

Moreover, Old Master Situ would often hold Situ Xin and refuse to let go.

At night, Loo Yaxin and Old Madam would visit the nursery several times to check on Situ Xin, making her wary of entering her space to cultivate.

With the spiritual energy on Earth already so scarce, it was easy to imagine the progress of cultivation under such conditions.

However, the benefit was that the Jade Token in Situ Xin’s mind was unaffected by location.

Even when she was outside, she could continuously learn.

After some time at school, Situ Xin discovered that the Jade Token contained an abundance of knowledge—so vast that there was nothing you couldn’t learn if you didn’t wish to.

She had also found instructions on Talisman Making and Alchemy within the Jade Token.

If Situ Xin’s cultivation level had been sufficient, she would have eagerly started learning already.

After eating lunch, it was time for the midday news, and Old Master Situ sat down on the sofa with Situ Xin in his arms to watch.

As Situ Xin watched the familiar faces on the television, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off, but she couldn’t put her finger on what exactly it was.

Since that day after watching the midday news, Situ Xin found herself lost in thought more often, especially when she was alone.
