The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 56 - Before New Year (1)_1

They had discussed the incident in private numerous times since it happened, but could not figure out the reason behind it.

“This matter is quite bizarre.

We believe that it likely has something to do with the baby’s master,” was the conclusion Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo reached after much deliberation.

“Indeed, only the baby’s master would have the ability to do this.

Next time we see the baby’s master, we’ll have to thank them properly,” Old Master Loo said before shifting the topic, “It looks like the other party has become impatient and has started to take action.”

“Moreover, from what we’ve seen this time, it seems there’s more than just Xiao Qinfeng lurking around you two.

You both need to be on guard at all times and remain vigilant,” Old Master Situ warned with a serious voice.

Knowing that if it hadn’t been for this unexpected event, both their families would have suffered tremendous losses.

While the four of them discussed these matters, Situ Xin found herself lost in thought.

She had just heard her father’s account of the incident when a sudden realization struck her.

She remembered seeing a notebook in her past life within the organization that logged various emergencies during military exercises from different periods.

It had one simple sentence: a team leader was shot and killed during the exercise.

When Situ Xin first read it, she had wondered why there were no details about the cause of the shooting or the solutions.

Reflecting on it now, she realized that the simplistic sentence from her past life likely referred to this very incident during the military exercise, only the person shot was supposed to be her father, Haotian, not Xiao Qinfeng.

“It looks like someone wants to target the Situ and Loo families,” Situ Xin thought to herself, unable to understand how someone could be so audacious as to strike during such an important military exercise.

She was even more puzzled about who could have the clout to target the Situ and Loo families.

The weather outside was growing colder, and New Year’s Day was fast approaching.

The festive air was thickening, and her household was getting busier.

Thankfully, the heating inside the house was sufficient, so the clothes Situ Xin wore were still fairly light.

In fact, after her training, the external temperature didn’t affect her much anymore, but her family didn’t know that.

Consequently, she hadn’t left the house since it got cold and now couldn’t even enjoy the privilege of strolling around the courtyard.

“Haotian, Haoran, when you two go out later, take care of the New Year’s shopping.

Looking at the sky, I’m guessing it will snow tomorrow,” Old Madam Situ said, holding a piece of paper as she walked out of the kitchen.

“Oh, all right, we’ll go now.” Haoran and Haotian, who had been sitting on the sofa entertaining Situ Xin, quickly responded.

“I want to go too, I want to go too.” Situ Jin, nearly as excited as Situ Xin at the prospect of going out, jumped with joy upon hearing his father and uncle were stepping out.

“Baby wants to go too.” After the military exercise, Situ Xin had been pondering that it was about time for her to become more articulate, and coincidentally, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo had some spare time after the event.

Apart from their daily routines of drinking tea and playing chess, they spent the rest of their time with Situ Xin, including teaching her to speak.

Situ Xin was eager to go outside too.

In her past life, she was first in an orphanage and then in training with the organization, so she had no memories of this era.

She was curious to see what the outside world looked like now.

“Baby, it’s too cold outside.

When it gets warmer, Grandpa will take you out, ok?” Old Master Situ said tenderly to Situ Xin.

“Baby wants to go out, Baby wants to go out.” Situ Xin was stubborn, and once she set her mind to something, she was determined to achieve it.

She was fixated on going out, no matter how gently her grandfather spoke.

Besides, Situ Xin felt she was increasingly acting like a little child.

Haotian, seeing his daughter’s pitiful little look, could hardly bear it.

“Dad, just let Baby go, we’ll wrap her up well when we go out.” Haotian’s request to his father earned him a broad smile from Situ Xin, which greatly pleased him.

However, his words earned him a big eye roll from Old Master Situ.

Seeing her grandfather remain unmoved, Situ Xin quickly brought out her trump card, using her dewy eyes to gaze unwaveringly at Old Master Situ, and then sweetly added with a smile, “Grandpa, Baby wants to go.

Grandpa is the best.

Baby loves Grandpa the most.” Her endearing words lifted Old Master Situ’s spirits immensely.

Old Master Situ chuckled and gently pinched Situ Xin’s cheek, “You little rascal.

Go ahead then.”

Upon hearing Old Master Situ’s words, Situ Xin broke into a wide grin, her mouth nearly reaching her ears as Old Master Situ put it.

“Alright then, have Yaxin help Baby get dressed warmly.

She must not catch a cold.

And you two, make sure to hold Baby securely later.

There can’t be any slip-ups,” Old Master Situ continued, his heart still not quite at ease, to the point that he considered going out with them.

“Grandpa, don’t worry, I will protect my sister well,” Situ Jin chimed in with enthusiasm upon hearing that he could go out with his sister, and was the first to step forward, declaring his vow to protect her.
