Good Pregnancy Quick Transmigration: The Overly Charming CEO with No Heirs

Chapter 403 Hiding a "Beloved" in a Golden House 3

"But..." Xiaomei hesitated, "After all, Guard Han is a man. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for him to live next to you, Madam?"

The Marquis and the Old Madam already disliked the Madam, so this will only make her life more difficult in the future.

Xiao Mei's expression made Han Yunzhao realize something was wrong. He turned his head to look at Xi Yao:

"I'll just go wherever the servants live in the manor."

How could I put her in a difficult position?

Going back to the mansion with her would already be causing her trouble.

Han Yunzhao looked at the flowers swaying in the wind in the courtyard, a moment of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Why did I voluntarily come back with her?

As if under a spell, he was unconsciously drawn to her and became unlike himself.

Xi Yao waved her hand dismissively, "Don't worry about them. You'll stay right next to me, and no one can stop you."

How could you possibly let her husband live in the servants' room?

Han Yunzhao didn't say anything more.

As a maid, Xiaomei could only offer a reminder before silently turning to clean the room.

"Please sit in my room for a while and wait for Xiaomei to finish cleaning before you go back."

After Xi Yao finished speaking, she led the way forward.

Han Yunzhao paused for a moment, but still followed.

"Have some tea."

Xi Yao poured a cup and placed it in front of him, then sat down herself.

"Put your hand out so I can take your pulse."

"You know medicine?" Han Yunzhao looked up in surprise.

"What, surprised?" Xi Yao raised an eyebrow. "Hurry up and put your hand out."

While Han Yunzhao was still hesitating, Xi Yao had already grabbed his hand and taken his pulse.

The more she took his pulse, the more her brows furrowed, and she began to curse the lunatics of the Dongli royal family in her heart.

Han Yunzhao's body contains several types of poison, which are currently in a delicate balance.

Once a certain toxin becomes imbalanced, his body will rapidly collapse.

Xi Yao looked up at him. "You have several kinds of poison in your body. Do you remember how you got them?"

"Poison?" Han Yunzhao's brow twitched slightly, but he said calmly, "I don't remember. Will I die?"

Seeing his downcast eyes, Xi Yao felt a pang of heartache and wanted to reach out and touch his face, but she was afraid of scaring him, so she gave up for the time being.

"You won't die, I won't let you die. I can cure the poison in your body."

Han Yunzhao looked up and met her eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and after looking away, he asked in a low voice:

Why are you so good to me?

They rescued him from the slave traders, bought him clothes, and also gave him an antidote.

They were clearly strangers, yet she...

"Are you this nice to every stranger?" Han Yunzhao couldn't help but ask again before she could answer.

"How could that be?" Xi Yao said, both amused and exasperated. "How could I be so nice to others? You're different..."

She leaned forward slightly, looking intently into his eyes, "I fell in love with you at first sight, I like you so much, and I can't help but be good to you."

Han Yunzhao felt a little flustered and turned his head to avoid the scorching gaze.

"You...you're a girl, how can you say such things to a man?"

Her shy demeanor stunned even the 996 work schedule.

[Host, you're taking advantage of the big boss's amnesia to bully him again.]

Xi Yao refused to admit it. "How did I bully him? Wasn't I telling the truth? I really fell in love with him at first sight."

But he's your husband, and you've liked him for so long, how can that be considered love at first sight?

"Their appearances are different. I fell in love with his looks and physique at first sight, so why doesn't that count?"

996 was speechless for a long time before finally speaking:

Don't forget you're a married woman now. If you say something like that, what if the big boss thinks you're promiscuous? Where will you go to complain then?

Xi Yao's eyelids twitched, and she immediately turned her gaze to Han Yunzhao.

"Although I am married, I have no marital relationship with Marquis Wuxin."

He had someone he loved, but he married me only because he was forced to comply with the old Marquis's dying wish.

I disagreed, but as a merchant's daughter, I had no chance to refuse the Marquis of Wuxin's household.

But don't worry, I'll get a divorce soon.

Her long speech drew Han Yunzhao's attention back to her.

"So, you're unhappy living in the Marquis's mansion, is that right?"

Her marriage was arranged by her parents and a matchmaker, so she had no choice but to accept it and didn't like her current husband at all.

At this moment, a secret joy rose in Han Yunzhao's heart.

Just as Xi Yao was about to say something, the door creaked open.

The two of them turned their gazes to the person who had entered.

"Xia Xiyao, you actually brought a strange man back to the Marquis's residence! This is utterly disgraceful to my family!"

Xue Pingzhi glanced at Han Yunzhao, then his gaze fell on Xi Yao. His face was cold, and his eyes were full of anger.

Whether he likes her or not, she is his rightful wife.

Bringing a strange man back and even bringing him to your room—is she trying to cuckold him?

Xue Pingzhi looked furious and could make a move at any moment.

Han Yunzhao instinctively stood up and blocked Xi Yao's way.

"I just hired a personal bodyguard for myself, why are you so angry?"

Xi Yao chuckled and poked Han Yunzhao in the back, signaling him to move aside.

Han Yunzhao glanced back at her, hesitated, and then took a step to the side.

But he looked wary, ready to take action at any moment.

Xue Pingzhi narrowed his eyes as he looked at the scene before him. "I know you are a merchant's daughter and don't know many of the rules, but you have been married into the Marquis's mansion for nearly half a year. You should learn what you need to learn."

Furthermore, since he is a guard, he should not be brought into the backyard, especially into the room where you, as the Lady of the Marquis, reside.

I don't care how you usually behave, but if you damage the reputation of the Marquis's mansion, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Xi Yao ignored him and instead looked up at Han Yunzhao, saying, "Xiao Mei should be almost done with her, you can go ahead now."

"But……"

"It's alright, you can go out now."

Han Yunzhao remained silent for a moment, then lifted his foot and left.

Only after his figure disappeared did Xi Yao look at Xue Pingzhi.

"Since you look down on my status as a merchant's daughter and think I've tarnished the reputation of the Marquis's mansion, why don't we get a divorce? From now on, whatever I do will be none of your business."

This left Xue Pingzhi stunned.

He scrutinized Xi Yao, seemingly trying to ascertain the truthfulness of her words.

"You are a woman. If you divorce, your reputation will be ruined, and the Xia family in the border town will be gossiped about. Are you sure you want a divorce?"

In Xue Pingzhi's view, it was just another vase in the house; as long as it didn't affect the Marquis's mansion, he didn't care.

And Xia Xiyao used to stay in her own yard every day, not even daring to speak loudly, but today she actually brought up divorce?

This seems like a rather significant change?

What's been happening lately?

Xue Pingzhi's mind was racing, but his face remained expressionless.

Xi Yao smiled slightly. "You don't need to worry about reputation, Marquis Wu Xin. Just write the divorce papers as soon as possible."

In addition, Madam Wang took 10,000 taels of silver notes and a gold Buddha statue from me a few days ago. These were part of my dowry, and I would appreciate it if you could return them to me as soon as possible.
