The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 791 - 765: Treasure in the Palm (1)_1

This time, Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Loo didn’t step forward to speak for Xiao Muli. Instead, they both widened their eyes, looking at Xiao Muli, waiting for him to give them a definitive answer. In other words, they wanted to hear Xiao Muli say they had heard wrong.

"Grandpa Situ, Grandpa Loo, and everyone else, I’m not joking. What I said is true. Baby, she’s pregnant with my child." Xiao Muli maintained his expression from before and spoke word by word.

"You rascal, really, how dare you say that. I definitely won’t let you off today." Old Master Situ was so angry. His good mood from early in the morning was completely messed up by that kid Xiao Muli. It wasn’t just Old Master Situ who wanted to teach Xiao Muli a lesson; Situ Haotian and the others were all restless.

"Muli, are you telling the truth?" Old Madam Situ thought for a moment before asking.

"Old lady, you stay out of this. Today I have to properly teach this kid a lesson. This is just outrageous." Old Master Situ pulled Old Madam Situ to the side.

"Ah, I’m so hungry." Situ Xin really slept like the dead, and it was only because her stomach protested that she had to crawl out of bed.

Situ Xin climbed out of bed, dressed, and washed up with her eyes barely open. Even when she walked out of the room, her eyes were half-closed. Completely looking like she hadn’t woken up, when Situ Xin reached the staircase, she heard her grandfather Old Master Situ’s loud scolding, "Xiao Muli, you little bastard, whether what you said is true, or you’re just joking with us. Right now, grab your stuff and get out of the Situ Family. I don’t want to see you again."

Hearing her grandfather utter Xiao Muli’s name, Situ Xin’s brain’s nerves jolted, and she suddenly became fully awake. Then, she remembered what happened last night.

Remembering what happened last night, Situ Xin also recalled why Xiao Muli had come to their house so early in the morning. And now, with her grandfather raging at Xiao Muli like this, she had a good idea of what was going on.

Just as Situ Xin was thinking about what to say as she went downstairs, she heard her grandfather Old Master Situ’s voice, "Haotian, Haoran, what are you two still standing there for? Throw this kid out, bringing trouble so early in the morning."

Upon hearing this, Situ Xin couldn’t stand still anymore. Xiao Muli couldn’t just be thrown out by her family. And although Situ Xin’s temper had become much calmer because of her pregnancy, she still knew that what happened between her and Xiao Muli was entirely consensual.

"Grandpa," Situ Xin’s words shifted everyone’s gaze from Xiao Muli to her, standing at the top of the second-floor staircase. And Situ Haotian and Situ Haoran, who had already put their hands on Xiao Muli, ready to take action, stopped when they heard Situ Xin’s voice.

"Baby, you’re awake." Old Master Situ’s anger dissipated in an instant when facing Situ Xin, despite the shock and rage from the news Xiao Muli had shared. Of course, this was only when facing Situ Xin; as soon as Old Master Situ turned back to Xiao Muli, the anger surged up again.

"Yes," Situ Xin said while slowly walking down the stairs. As she walked, she said to her father and uncle, "Dad, Uncle, you can take your hands back now."

"What? Baby, you want to help this rascal?" Old Master Situ became displeased upon hearing Situ Xin’s words.

"Grandpa, what are you thinking? I just think that Muli can’t leave yet. There are some things that still need to be made clear," Situ Xin knew her grandfather’s temper and that if she really sided with Xiao Muli, even if Xiao Muli had a point, he would end up looking wrong.

"Alright, if Baby says so, then let’s not drive him out for now." Old Master Situ felt more at ease after hearing Situ Xin’s words. While speaking, he glared at Xiao Muli with a look that said, "See, to my Baby, I’m still the most important grandpa."

Whenever it came to his beloved granddaughter Situ Xin, Old Master Situ’s intelligence would plummet. Therefore, he didn’t catch any of the underlying meanings in Situ Xin’s words. However, Old Master Loo and the women present understood clearly.

After hearing Situ Xin’s words, Old Master Loo first frowned and then asked, "Baby, Xiao Muli came running over early this morning claiming you’re pregnant with his child. What about this matter?"

Old Master Loo didn’t beat around the bush and directly voiced what everyone there was thinking.

And Situ Xin had no intention of hiding the truth; after all, the pregnancy couldn’t be concealed for long. Soon her belly would give it away. Situ Xin subconsciously touched her stomach. Upon hearing Old Master Loo’s words, Xiao Muli’s gaze also fell on Situ Xin’s belly. He looked at Situ Xin’s belly, wanting to reach out and touch it, to feel the child inside that was both his and Situ Xin’s.

"Yes, Grandpa, I’m pregnant with Muli’s child," Situ Xin said, looking straight into her grandfather Old Master Loo’s eyes without evasion.

"You, you’re really pregnant with Muli’s child? When did it happen?" asked Old Madam Situ excitedly as she walked up to Situ Xin.

"I only found out I was pregnant last night. As for when it happened, it should have been the night Muli had an incident at the Xiao Family Ancestral House. I rushed over there late at night," Situ Xin answered truthfully.

"You went to help Xiao Muli out of trouble, how could you get pregnant with his child?" Old Master Situ’s emotions also became heated.

"Situ, calm down first. Let Baby take her time to explain," Old Master Loo was more composed than Old Master Situ. He could guess a little bit from Situ Xin’s words. "Baby, what exactly happened that night?"

"That night. Muli was drugged, with an aphrodisiac. Someone wanted to take advantage of Xiao Muli being drugged to claim the position of the Family Head’s wife. When I received the news and rushed over, Muli was alone in the hotel room, trying to control the effects of the drug by himself. But the drug was specially concocted by some people, and there was no antidote. Not only was there no cure, but if it wasn’t dealt with promptly, it could even affect the prospects of future offspring," Situ Xin revealed only what she could say.
