The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 75 - Before the Incident_1

“This indicates that even the people around us—our family members—could be hiding their agents,” Situ Haoran said with an unchanged expression, as if not affected at all.

But internally, he felt quite restless.

“Also, our enemies have finally become impatient and are going to start taking action,” Situ Haotian’s eyes flashed a ferocious hint.

He had been waiting for a long time now.

Even though their assassination attempt failed during the military exercises, Situ Haotian would not show mercy to anyone who dared to attack him.

“Yes, Yaxin, don’t be nervous about this.

Your father called you back to let you know who around you is with the opposition.

Just be cautious when you return, and for now, do not alarm them,” Old Master Situ consoled Loo Yaxin.

“Dad, I know.

I will be careful.

Rest assured, I won’t hold the family back.” Loo Yaxin might seem like a delicate little woman who constantly needed care, but when facing major issues, she wouldn’t back down.

“Good, very good,” Old Master Situ was very satisfied with Loo Yaxin’s reaction.

“When Old Lu and Old Xiao arrive, you two come upstairs with me so we can thoroughly discuss this matter.” Now that they knew the enemy was making a move, they too needed to start preparing.

Situ Xin was beginning to regret attending kindergarten.

Of all the children in the kindergarten, only the two little brats seated next to her were amusing; the other kids, now that everyone was familiar and no longer crying, often got involved in fights.

This made Situ Xin frequently wonder why she was sitting here watching a bunch of little brats fight.

“Alright, quiet down, kids.

For this lesson, let’s go to the playground and play a game.

Everyone, please line up to go outside.” As soon as the teacher finished speaking, the children in the class rushed out excitedly, with the teacher trying her best to maintain order on the side.

And Situ Xin was distinctly lackluster in comparison.

Just the day before, the teacher mentioned going out to play a game, and Situ Xin, who hadn’t attended kindergarten or played with other children in her previous life, was very excited, grinning from ear to ear as she eagerly followed the teacher to the playground.

But her excitement didn’t last long; it completely vanished shortly after.

The teacher organized a game of drop the handkerchief, and Situ Xin went from happily squatting to watching as everyone else was squatting, talking and laughing, while she drew circles on the ground with a disappointed face.

From that moment on, Situ Xin completely lost any interest in so-called games.

Nevertheless, she still followed the crowd of kids to the playground.

This supposed playground was actually just a patch of open ground in front of their kindergarten classrooms.

Along one side, next to the fence, were placed various children’s slides and such.

The rest of the open area served as the regular space for the children’s games.

“Okay, children, line up nicely.

Today we’re going to play ‘eagle catches chicks.'” As soon as the teacher finished, there was a round of cheers from the children, while Situ Xin waited for the teacher to finish and then raised her hand to say, “Report, teacher.”

“Situ Xin, what is it?” The teacher always had a good impression of Situ Xin, and she would speak to her in an especially gentle tone.

“Teacher, I have a cold, so I don’t want to play the game,” Situ Xin made up an excuse on the spot to avoid playing the game.

When Situ Xin lied, she was serious, and given the teacher’s fond impression of her, there was no suspicion as the teacher replied, “Is that so?

Then go sit over there, and remember to drink lots of water when you get back.”

“I know, thank you for your concern, teacher,” she said and walked toward the area with the slides.

After watching the kids in the middle of the playground having fun for a while, Situ Xin stood up, ready to head back to the classroom.

As she got up, ready to leave, she caught a glimpse underneath the slide, where there was a tiny hole against the fence.

If not covered by climbing vines, it would have been difficult for anyone to notice without Situ Xin’s sharp eyesight.

Looking at the hole, Situ Xin, who was utterly bored, suddenly became very curious about what lay beyond that fence.

Being someone who acted on her impulses, she looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her.

She then crouched down, walked under the slide, parted the climbing vines with her hands, and revealed a hole just large enough for a child to crawl through.

The hole was just the right size for Situ Xin to squat through.

After lowering herself, she slowly made her way out through the hole.

“I’ve made it out,” Situ Xin felt more and more like a child in that moment, excited as if she was embarking on an adventure.

She stood up and surveyed the scene beyond the fence.

“Huh, where is this?

How come I’ve never come across it around the school?” Seeing the somewhat aged buildings before her gave her the brief sensation of having traveled through time again.

She was now standing in a long and quiet alley, with only the sounds of children playing inside the fence audible.

“It seems that this alley is not commonly used by anyone.”
