Chapter 818 - 784 Wedding Banquet (2)_2
"Xiao Xin is right, let’s discuss this matter privately later. Come on, everyone, let’s have a toast with the bride and groom." Lan Junxi stepped up to speak for Situ Xin. However, although he was speaking up for Situ Xin, he addressed Xiao Muli, "Muli, today, in consideration of Xiao Xin carrying a child, we didn’t trouble you or force you to drink. But next time, at your baby’s full-month celebration, we won’t hold back."
"Okay, when the time comes, we won’t stop until we’re all drunk." Xiao Muli agreed jovially to Lan Junxi’s request.
As the round of toasts went on, like Xiao Muli said, everyone was very polite and did not give the newlyweds a hard time. However, Situ Xin felt uncomfortable because several times she could feel unfriendly and even disdainful glances aimed at her from behind.
Because Situ Xin did not dare to freely use her Divine Sense now, she could not tell from whom those gazes were coming.
Nevertheless, Situ Xin didn’t dwell on it. After finishing the toasts and the wedding banquet, she was carried princess-style by Xiao Muli to the car returning to the Xiao Family’s home to sleep. And because she was tired, once she got home she washed up groggily, fell onto the bed, and slept straight away.
And there was none of that discomfort she had worried about before, of not being able to sleep because there was another person in bed.
After the wedding, tradition dictates returning to the bride’s home on the third day; however, Situ Xin had originally planned to wake up early the day after the wedding, but she was too exhausted from pregnancy and the banquet to get up early the next morning.
Luckily, Old Master Xiao was incredibly fond of Situ Xin, and didn’t mind at all that she didn’t wake early. And even though Liu Yun, Muli’s mom, had a somewhat disapproving expression, Situ Xin completely ignored it; she didn’t have a good impression of her mother-in-law anyway.
Initially, Situ Xin and Xiao Muli were aware that people outside knew about Situ Xin’s pregnancy before marriage, and would surely gossip and say unpleasant things; however, they didn’t expect the gossip to be so extreme.
On the day of the wedding banquet, Xiao Muli’s news was like dropping a depth charge, shocking some people solely with the news of Situ Xin’s pregnancy. Others seemed to exhibit sour grapes mentality, maliciously gossiping behind their backs, speaking of how the princesses of the Situ Family and Loo Family had such poor morals, to be pregnant before wedlock.
