The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 73 - Cai Meijuan (2)_1

She had just heard what the woman said, then combined it with the conversations she had overheard through the listening devices.

Situ Xin narrowed her eyes.

She had always felt there must be some conspiracy afoot, but couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

Now she understood; Cai Meijuan’s targeting of her mother wasn’t due to jealousy, it was someone else instructing her to act this way from behind the scenes.

“If I’m not mistaken, this Cai Meijuan must be one of their people,” Situ Xin thought.

She figured it was time to prepare her next move.

“Brother, I’m going to use the restroom.

Wait here for me,” she said, then darted out of the office.

“Hey, Baby, do you know the way?” Situ Jin called out, intending to follow her.

But Ke Rou held him back.

“The restroom is just next door.

Xiao Xin won’t get lost,” Ke Rou said, finding the nervousness of the three youngsters amusing.

After running out of the office and ensuring no one was following her, Situ Xin patted her chest and sighed in relief, “Phew, good thing they didn’t follow.” Then, checking to see there was no one around, she teleported to the door of Cai Meijuan’s office.

Over the years, with Situ Xin’s improved skills, teleportation had become quite simple for her.

She listened at the door and, hearing nothing inside, cautiously pushed it open a crack to make sure the office was empty before slipping inside Cai Meijuan’s office.

Once inside, Situ Xin didn’t dare linger long.

She quickly took a listening device from her space, looked around the office, and planted one underneath the desk.

Then, inspired, she took her bag down from her shoulder, removed a small pair of scissors and a needle and thread from her space, and swiftly cut open a section of the lining.

She stuffed the listening device inside and then sewed it back up with the needle and thread.

“That should do it.

With this, I might be able to hear some inside information.” Situ Xin guessed Cai Meijuan was sent by the opposing side, but it was just her assumption.

Without solid evidence, she couldn’t reveal this suspicion to her grandfather or maternal grandfather.

If the final outcome proved her wrong, it could bring trouble to their family.

After re-hanging her bag, she teleported back to where she had been.

Fortunately, the corridor was empty—had anyone been there, they would have probably been startled by Situ Xin’s sudden appearance.

Feeling pleased with herself, Situ Xin hopped and skipped back into the office.

As soon as she entered, Situ Jin grabbed her and said, “Baby, why did you take so long?” If Situ Xin hadn’t returned soon, he would have indeed gone out searching for her.

“Hehe, Xiao Xin, if you didn’t show up soon, your brothers were going to storm the ladies’ room,” Ke Rou teased, causing Situ Jin, Xiao Muli, and Yu Qihao to struggle to maintain their composure—it was all true.

In the following days, Situ Xin had an invisible earpiece stuffed in her ears at all times, whether she was attending classes at the kindergarten or sleeping at night.

Since the listening device couldn’t receive signals when inside her space, she would only enter her space during the middle of the night to monitor Cai Meijuan.

This also delayed her plans for making firearms.

After several days of surveillance without any significant or useful developments, Situ Xin inadvertently became privy to several live broadcasts.

Hearing Cai Meijuan’s pig-like shrieks through her earpiece, Situ Xin found it unbearable and could not understand how Cai Meijuan’s husband could tolerate her, especially with their frequent activities.

Just when Situ Xin started to doubt her suspicions, a twist occurred.

It was the night of the fifth day after installing the listening device, and she was almost asleep in her little bed when the sudden ring of a telephone through her earpiece jerked her awake.

Then she heard Cai Meijuan’s voice.

“Hello.

Good evening.” Situ Xin could tell that Cai Meijuan’s tone was completely lacking the arrogance from before; she sounded humble, even using respectful language.

“I’m sorry, things are not progressing smoothly.

Like you instructed, I tried using public opinion to make everyone believe Loo Yaxin’s husband, Situ Haotian, was taking bribes, but it wasn’t effective.

Each time, Loo Yaxin thwarted it with just a few words.

It seems like Loo Yaxin’s family is quite wealthy, so this plan might not work.

However, I did follow your direction and found someone to get close to Loo Yaxin, in the hopes of learning more about her family.

Sadly, she rarely talks about her husband or family matters.”

“Yes, yes, I understand.

I will find a way to complete the task as soon as possible.” The person on the other end of the call was clearly dissatisfied with Cai Meijuan’s efforts and was urging her to finish the job quickly.

As Situ Xin heard Cai Meijuan’s conversation, her brow stayed knit, and she unconsciously sat up from where she had been lying down.

“So, are they pushing you to hurry up on that end?” A man’s voice came through the earpiece.

“Yes, they want me to finish the task quickly.

They’d prefer it if I could cause some trouble through Loo Yaxin, affecting her family, or at least gain her trust to infiltrate her family,” Cai Meijuan said, letting out a sigh.

“I thought this would be easy, but it’s proving to be quite difficult.”
