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

Madam Wang tightened her grip.

"I never liked Xia Shi. I only married her because of my father's dying wish. My mother knew that I had someone else in my heart."

Xue Pingzhi's expression softened. "Shanshan married me with the respect due to a concubine, and I always felt I had wronged her."

Since Xia herself is willing to divorce, it's a win-win situation. From now on, Shanshan will be my only wife, and it's fair to her."

"We'll talk about Shanshan later," Madam Wang said calmly. "We're talking about Xia Shi now. Pingzhi, listen to your mother's advice: don't mention divorce again."

"Mother!"

"I said no, and that's final!" Old Madam Wang raised her voice.

Xue Pingzhi took a deep breath, stood up, his expression stubborn:

"I appreciate Mother's good intentions, but my mind is made up about this matter."

Tomorrow I will write the divorce papers, take stock of Xia's dowry, and return it all to her.

"you!"

"The Xia family would also send Xia a thousand taels of silver every quarter as a subsidy, which would all be included in the dowry, not a single copper coin would be missing."

With this money, whether she returned to the border town or went elsewhere, it would be enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life; it couldn't be described as 'forcing her to her death.'

When Madam Wang heard the words "one thousand taels of silver per quarter," she felt as if she had been punched hard in the chest.

One thousand taels!

One thousand taels a quarter, that's four thousand taels a year!

This is only a small fraction of the Xia family's contribution, not counting the substantial dowry itself.

How could we let her take such a large sum of money?

She felt as if her heart was bleeding.

"I said, no divorce allowed!" Old Madam Wang stood up abruptly, her voice trembling.

Xue Pingzhi had never seen his mother like this before, and he was stunned.

Madam Wang realized she had lost her composure, took a deep breath, her eyes reddened, and her voice choked with emotion:

"Pingzhi, when your father passed away, he held my hand and told me to take good care of this family and to take good care of you."

If you insist on a divorce, that's unfilial and you'll drive me crazy...

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face. She covered her face with a handkerchief, her shoulders shaking with sobs.

"If your father were still alive, he would be heartbroken to see you like this. What's the point of me living? I might as well just kill myself here."

Xue Pingzhi's expression changed drastically. "Mother, what are you doing?"

"If you dare write that divorce agreement, I'll kill myself!"

Old Madam Wang suddenly raised her head, tears still on her face, but her eyes were unusually resolute.

"Go ahead and try, see if I keep my word!"

The room fell into a deathly silence.

Xue Pingzhi stood there, his face alternating between pale and flushed, his fingers clenching and unclenching repeatedly.

He truly never expected that his mother would threaten him with her life.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he just closed his eyes wearily.

"Mother, there's no need for this." His voice was hoarse. "Let me think about this some more."

A fleeting hint of triumph flashed in Madam Wang's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, replaced by a face full of satisfaction.

"That's my good child. Think about it carefully. Your mother is doing this for your own good and for the good of this family."

Xue Pingzhi didn't say anything more, turned around and strode out of the courtyard.

As soon as I stepped out of the courtyard, a cold wind rushed towards me.

Xue Pingzhi stopped and took a deep breath with his eyes closed.

His mother threatened suicide, but he couldn't really force his own mother to her death.

But what about the Xia family...?

He rubbed his temples, feeling a splitting headache.

996 directly relayed the mother and son's conversation word for word to its host.

Xi Yao just chuckled after hearing that.

She knew that Old Madam Wang would never let go of such a lucrative opportunity.

Because the original owner came from a border town, her dowry did not include any land or estates; it was all converted into cash.

So there were a total of 100,000 taels of silver, as well as gold and jade ornaments.

The Marquis of Wuxin's mansion is now almost running a deficit, relying entirely on Xue Pingzhi's meager salary and savings.

If this continues, the Marquis's mansion will be in debt within a year at most.

That's why Madam Wang was anxious.

[Host, what are you planning to do now?]

"Of course, we'll turn the Marquis's mansion upside down!"

Xi Yao smiled wickedly, "996, tell me, what would happen if the Marquis's mansion were robbed?"

"Wouldn't that kill Old Madam Wang?"

996 followed with a cunning smile.

The original owner's dowry had all been taken into the space by the host, and that private vault was empty.

If the Marquis's mansion's treasury is also stolen, then there will truly be no money left.

We'll really be starving.

"The original owner's dowry is now mine. You want to take it from me?" Xi Yao sneered. "Then don't blame me for making the first move."

Originally, seeing that Xue Pingzhi hadn't done anything to the original owner and was merely indifferent, she didn't intend to be too ruthless towards the Marquis of Wuxin's mansion.

Unfortunately, if Madam Wang wants to deliberately cause trouble, then so be it.

[Host, actually, the treasury of the Marquis of Wuxin's mansion doesn't have much money left.]

After reviewing the data, 996 truthfully stated.

[Xue Pingzhi didn't manage the shop's business, and Old Master Wang wouldn't relinquish his control of the household. She herself wasn't cut out for business, so the shop almost always lost money.]

For the past six months, we've been surviving entirely on the original owner's ten thousand taels of silver, but that won't last much longer.

[Also, regarding Lü Shanshan, her dowry wasn't very large, and to show her loyalty, she had already given a portion to Old Madam Wang.]

Speaking of which, Lu Shanshan, as Madam Wang's cousin, was so favored by Xue Pingzhi that Madam Wang was somewhat displeased with her.

But no matter how much she disliked her, she was still her cousin's daughter, so she managed to keep things on the surface.

"Regardless of how much there is in the warehouse, I plan to take it all the night after tomorrow, including the original owner's golden Buddha statue."

As for why not tonight.

Of course, she's going to detoxify her husband tonight.

Xi Yao felt heartbroken every second that poison remained on Han Yunzhao's body.

[Host, the golden Buddha statue is hidden in Old Madam Wang's bedroom.]

996 immediately complained.

Xi Yao rolled her eyes. "She's shameless."

That's true. Anyone with a sense of shame wouldn't covet their daughter-in-law's dowry.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll disinfect the silver needles I'm going to use first."

996 looked at its host with a puzzled expression.

[Host, the boss's poison doesn't require silver needles at all; the system shop has antidotes.]

Xi Yao looked at the chubby bird with a disdainful gaze.

"If I only use antidote pills, won't I never get to see his perfect physique?"

【…】

996 It's a long story.

[Since you're going to have a child with this big shot anyway, how could you not see it?]

Xi Yao said matter-of-factly, "But I can't wait, I want to see it now."

996 is speechless.

As expected, he's still the same LSP host; after so many worlds, his nature remains unchanged.

"Are you cursing me in your heart?" Xi Yao narrowed her eyes, her tone dangerous. "996, you're getting a little too cocky. Want to get struck by lightning?"

【…】

996 silently disappeared.

We can't afford to mess with them.

They're simply not to be trifled with.
