Chapter 822 - 787 Investigation Confession (1)
The moment Xiao Muli handed the investigative report to Old Master Xiao, Liu Yun’s face turned utterly pale. Although she didn’t see what was written on the paper, she had a rough idea of its contents. Otherwise, Xiao Muli wouldn’t have specifically asked such a question earlier.
Old Master Xiao took the paper from Xiao Muli, glanced at it briefly, then slapped it onto the table. "Muli, are you certain about what’s written here?"
"Yes, it was investigated by my people," Xiao Muli said with a calm face.
"Ridiculous. What on earth are you trying to do, Liu Yun? Is this how a mother-in-law should act? Slandering your daughter-in-law everywhere on the second day of her marriage. And look at what you’ve said – claiming that the child in Xiao Xin’s womb isn’t from the Xiao Family. Where is your evidence for such claims?" Old Master Xiao lashed out at Liu Yun, and after finishing his admonishment, he turned to his son, Xiao Guobing: "Xiao Guobing, I thought you had changed when you came back this time, but you’re still the same as before, unable to control your own wife. No wonder you’re still stuck in that position."
Xiao Guobing, who already looked displeased after reading the contents of the investigative report, grew even darker in the face upon hearing his father’s words. However, his apology to Old Master Xiao was sincere this time: "Dad, I’m sorry, it’s my fault for being useless and failing to manage my own wife." Saying this, Xiao Guobing turned to Situ Xin and said, "Xiao Xin, let me apologize to you first. Don’t worry. I will take care of this matter and give you an explanation."
Liu Yun, whose face was already as pale as a sheet of paper from Old Master Xiao’s scolding, only remembered the warnings her husband had given her before their return, upon hearing his words to Situ Xin. She swayed unsteadily in her chair.
Situ Xin didn’t know how to respond to her father-in-law’s words. In her heart, she understood that Liu Yun had indeed gone too far. But no matter what, Liu Yun was her mother-in-law, and she couldn’t do anything to her. Besides, for the sake of appearance, she couldn’t make things difficult for Liu Yun, even if Xiao Muli didn’t have much affection for his mother.
Situ Xin was quickly trying to think of the best way to respond to her father-in-law.
However, Xiao Muli didn’t give Situ Xin the chance to speak. One could say he didn’t want to see Situ Xin in a difficult position. As a daughter-in-law, there were many things she had to be cautious about. So, after his father Xiao Guobing finished speaking, Xiao Muli said to his grandfather, father, and mother, "As for this matter, it’s up to you to decide. Baby is carrying triplets in her womb now, so we’ll go upstairs to rest."
