The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 916 - 433_3

With his sister watching, he was at ease.

"What? You’re saying that Liu Xin drugged my sister-in-law? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?" Xiao Shiyao couldn’t believe what she was hearing, thinking perhaps her second brother was wrong. "Liu Xin has a great relationship with my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law doesn’t have many friends, and she and Liu Xin are practically best friends. You’re saying Liu Xin drugged her, that seems unlikely?"

"Don’t you trust your second brother? It’s not like I found out through investigation – I saw it with my own eyes. So, Liu Xin, she never really considered Xinyi her good friend. Of course, your sister-in-law is aware of Liu Xin’s true colors and won’t associate with her anymore. But considering your sister-in-law’s current physical condition, I’m afraid Liu Xin might do something nasty." If Lu Xinyi weren’t pregnant, he wouldn’t be so worried. At worst, Lu Xinyi might be bullied by Liu Xin, and he could later get back at Liu Xin for her.

But Lu Xinyi’s current situation was one where she couldn’t withstand any stress.

Of course, Xiao Shiyao believed her second brother and was aware of his concerns. "Don’t worry, second brother, I will take good care of sister-in-law. With me here, I would like to see who dares to bully her."

When it comes to protecting their own, the Situ Family and Xiao Family are the fiercest. Anyone they acknowledge as one of their own is untouchable by others except themselves.

"With your words, I’m relieved." Xiao Xuyang had been preoccupied with this matter, and now at night, when everyone else was asleep, he came to find Xiao Shiyao.

"Lu Xinyi, you usually look so quiet, I thought you were well-behaved. But who would have thought, you’re actually so capable. You quietly hooked up with Xiao Xuyang."

"Really couldn’t tell, turns out you’re a vixen."

"She actually thought that Xiao Xuyang, Second Young Master Xiao, would truly marry her into the Xiao Family. It’s just a fling."

"Exactly, when the time comes, she’ll have plenty to cry about."

"I can’t wait to see the day she gets dumped by Second Young Master Xiao and weeps."

"Right, I heard that she hooked up with Second Young Master Xiao because she used some tricks to get into his bed."

As soon as Xiao Shiyao entered the classroom, she saw a group of people huddled at the back, with her sister-in-law Lu Xinyi surrounded and being gossiped about in the center.

She glanced over and noticed Liu Xin sitting on her own seat, expressionless, but her eyes revealed a sense of schadenfreude.

Xiao Shiyao’s gaze narrowed slightly; she had never scrutinized Liu Xin closely before and had not realized that she could be such a schemer.

And Lu Xinyi, who was being attacked, listened to the unpleasant remarks of that woman without any expression on her face. Even people who weren’t from their class joined in the mockery, which she found particularly ironic.

Moreover, she didn’t need to ask to know who had instigated these people.

Compared to those harsh words from the other girls, what made Lu Xinyi more upset and hurt was the betrayal of her supposed good friend Liu Xin. She lowered her eyelids to conceal the injury in her eyes.

"What are you all doing here? You’ve got so much free time, huh? And some of you aren’t from our class. Do you really think it’s okay to just barge into our class and bully our classmates like this?" When Xiao Shiyao heard what those people were saying, she was instantly incensed.

The girls surrounding Lu Xinyi turned around at the sound, prepared to lash out at whoever was being so bold. But when they saw it was Xiao Shiyao, the words they intended to say were forcibly swallowed down.

None of them dared to scold Xiao Shiyao. If they did, they wouldn’t be able to get by in Capital City.

Most of the group of girls obediently shut their mouths, but there were always a few who were too blind to see, even daring to complain to Xiao Shiyao. "Xiao Shiyao, you’re just in time, this woman is quite crafty. She plotted against your brother, drugged him, and then clung onto him. We’re complaining on behalf of Second Young Master."

Xiao Shiyao looked at the girl who spoke with a smile that was not quite a smile. She was usually low-key at school, and no one had seen her lose her temper. But now, the current Xiao Shiyao made them chill from their feet to their heads: "Who told you all of this?"

"That..." That girl did not expect that after she spoke, Xiao Shiyao did not target Lu Xinyi but instead looked at her with a gaze that made her involuntarily shiver.

"What ’that’? Classmate, do you understand the law? Do you know what defamation is? Just wait for the lawyer’s letter from the Xiao Family."
