Chapter 823 - 788: Investigation Confession (2)
However, this time, Xiao Guobing was not prepared to simply back down. "This matter isn’t something you can resolve by apologizing to Xiao Xin. I’ll give you a choice. Either go to the courtyard tomorrow and explain everything to everyone, and then we’ll go back immediately. The other option is we get a divorce. It’s up to you to decide."
After saying that, Xiao Guobing didn’t even give Liu Yun a glance before turning and going upstairs back to his room. Liu Yun watched the back of her husband, devoid of any hint of reluctance, and couldn’t help but burst into heart-wrenching sobs.
Since Xiao Muli said he would handle this matter, Situ Xin didn’t take the incident with Liu Yun to heart and peacefully stayed at home to nurture her pregnancy.
Situ Xin might not have taken the matter to heart, but the next evening, at the dinner table when only Old Master Xiao and the two of them were left, she asked, "Eh? Where are mom and dad?"
"Oh, they went back because they still have work," Old Master Xiao replied with a smile. Hearing his answer, Situ Xin nodded and didn’t pursue the matter further.
But in her heart, she was thinking: could it be that this matter has simply ended with Xiao Muli’s parents leaving? Soon, Situ Xin’s question was answered. When she went back to her maternal home, she heard her grandma saying, "Oh, it’s good that your mother-in-law went back. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble she would have caused."
"Yes, it’s hard to imagine why the Xiao Family would agree to let such a woman marry in. Thankfully, Old Xiao and Muli are good people. They handled this affair well and didn’t let our Baby suffer any grievances. Otherwise, I would have somewhat regretted letting our Baby marry that youngster Muli," Old Madam Loo followed up.
It was also at this time that Situ Xin learned that her mother-in-law’s departure was not as simple as just leaving. Before she left, her mother-in-law, Liu Yun, accompanied by her father-in-law, Xiao Guobing, went to those few families who had overheard her talking the other day to clarify the situation. She admitted that everything was fabricated by her and none of it was true.
When Situ Xin was three months pregnant, she finally decided to reveal her secret to Xiao Muli.
