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

While Xi Yao was eating lunch, Xue Pingzhi arrived.

He pushed open the door, his eyes first sharply scanning the room before settling on the person eating with their head down.

"Where did your guard go?"

Xi Yao ignored him and continued eating slowly.

"What kind of attitude is this?" Xue Pingzhi frowned, his eyes filled with annoyance. "No matter what, I am still your husband. Where is your upbringing and manners?"

The atmosphere was so tense that Xiaomei, standing to the side, was on tenterhooks.

She stared intently at the two of them, fearing that Xue Pingzhi might suddenly make a move, so that she could at least go up and buy her master a chance to escape.

But Xi Yao wasn't afraid at all.

Only when Xue Pingzhi's face turned ashen with anger did she slowly put down her chopsticks, wipe her mouth, and then cast a single glance at him.

"Your family's upbringing? This is the kind of upbringing you have, where you steal people's dowries and then pretend to be a thief crying 'stop thief!' I've seen it all."

Xue Pingzhi pinched the bridge of his nose with a grim expression. "You're overthinking it. This theft of the entire mansion was probably a premeditated act by someone working together from the inside. But I've already reported it to the authorities, and we should have news soon. Your dowry will be recovered."

"Heh." Xi Yao sneered, "Such a large marquis's mansion, with several private treasuries, who knows where they are? That thief found them so easily and moved them all without making a sound? Do you believe that yourself?"

"That's why I said there's an inside man in the Marquis's residence."

"Still pretending? You've really gone to great lengths for my dowry. This show is quite something."

Xue Pingzhi's eyelids twitched uncontrollably; he felt like he was in a situation he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"How could I, the dignified Marquis of Wuxin, act so despicably? Moreover, it wasn't just your dowry that was stolen; Shanshan's dowry was gone too, and even Mother's room was robbed."

Xi Yao rolled her eyes. "Who knows if you guys are just putting on an act for me?"

Xue Pingzhi was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed.

This injustice can never be completely cleared.

The thought of 996 (working from 9 am to 9 pm, 6 days a week) made me laugh like crazy.

Only those who wronged you know how wronged you really are, hahaha!

Its host's ability to turn the tables is infuriating.

Ignoring the 996 work culture raging in her mind, Xi Yao just stared angrily at Xue Pingzhi.

Ha, it would be best if he died of anger.

Xue Pingzhi took a deep breath, suppressing the sense of powerlessness in his heart, and steered the conversation back on track.

"I've come today to ask you, where did the guard you brought back to the manor go?"

"I had to go out." Xi Yao looked at him coldly. "What do you want with him? Do you want to get beaten up again?"

Xue Pingzhi clenched his fists, gritting his teeth as he said, "He left last night? The moment he left, the Marquis's mansion was robbed. What a coincidence!"

"What are you trying to say?" Xi Yao's gaze turned dangerous. "You wouldn't be so shameless as to pin your embezzlement on him, would you?"

"Xia!" Xue Pingzhi shouted angrily, "I said, this wasn't done by the Marquis's mansion. Besides, you brought this person, whose origins are unknown but whose martial arts are highly skilled, into the Marquis's mansion so casually. You not only don't know you're wrong, but you're also making trouble here!"

"Tch!" Xi Yao rolled her eyes at him again. "You get angry when you can't win an argument, and raising your voice makes you seem right?"

"..."

Xue Pingzhi's chest heaved violently with anger, his fists clenching and unclenching repeatedly, as if he were about to throw a couple of punches at any moment.

This scene terrified Xiaomei.

However, Xi Yao maintained a relaxed expression throughout, completely ignoring him.

"This is utterly unreasonable," Xue Pingzhi forced out through gritted teeth. "From today onwards, you'll stay in the courtyard and reflect on your actions. You're not allowed to go anywhere, hmph!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeve and stormed off in a huff.

Xiaomei patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief after he disappeared into the courtyard.

"Madam, this is terrifying! How could you talk back to the Marquis? Guard Han isn't here now; what if he attacks?"

The lady looks so frail, she couldn't even withstand a single punch.

Xi Yao didn't care at all. "If he lays a hand on me, I'll beat him to a pulp."

Xiaomei: "..."

Where does my master get the confidence to say such a thing?

No matter what, Marquis Wuxin was still a military general.

The lady looks so frail and delicate, I feel sorry for her. How could I possibly defeat her?

Although she thought this in her heart, Xiaomei dared not say it out loud.

She simply and quietly cleared the dishes off the table.

After Xiaomei left, Xiyao also got up and leisurely walked out.

Should we confine her to the courtyard to reflect on her actions?

Dream it.

[Host, where are you going?]

The previously ignored 996 work schedule has resurfaced.

"I'll go see the Lu sisters and see if they're comfortable living in the mansion."

【…】

996 (*⊙~⊙) choked up.

What is the host saying?

Lu Shanshan was Xue Pingzhi's true love and second wife, and Old Madam Wang was both her mother-in-law and her cousin.

With her sweet talk and ability to please Madam Wang, how could Lü Lingling possibly have a bad life?

Clearly, its host is being sarcastic.

This is clearly someone who's going to cause trouble.

I'm excited about the 996 work schedule again.

Ignoring the sudden madness of 996, Xi Yao pulled out a round fan and walked unimpeded into Lü Shanshan's courtyard while fanning herself.

Before they even entered the main hall, the sound of crying could be heard.

The crying was intermittent and very low, as if it was trying desperately to hold back but couldn't, with each syllable trembling slightly.

Xi Yao curled her lips into a smile. "Tsk, no wonder she's a green tea bitch and a white lotus. Just listen to that voice."

She strode into the main hall and glanced around.

Inside stood a circle of maids and servants, all with their heads bowed, not daring to utter a sound.

Sitting in the main seat was a woman in a light purple dress, who was none other than Lü Shanshan.

Her face was half-lowered, her eyes were red, and tears were falling one by one.

Yet she maintained a delicate and weak demeanor, neither wailing nor throwing a tantrum, and even her posture was upright.

She only let out a low sigh between sobs, as if she had swallowed back all the great grievances in her stomach, and only let out a little bit when she could no longer swallow them.

Xi Yao thought to herself, "To be able to cry with such finesse is something most people can't do. She truly deserves to be Xue Pingzhi's love."

Standing next to Lü Shanshan, Lü Lingling was about sixteen or seventeen years old. She wore a bright red dress and had several pearl hairpins in her hair, making her as bright as a ball of fire.

Her face turned red with anger, and she stomped her feet and cursed, "Which damned thief dares to steal from the Marquis's mansion?"

"Don't worry, sister, brother-in-law will definitely get to the bottom of this and skin that thief alive!"

A group of people carefully comforted Lü Shanshan.

It's like everyone's adoring the moon.

"Oh, what's wrong?" Xi Yao asked, noticing they hadn't seen her yet. "Little sister, you're crying like this as soon as you got back to the manor. Did you get sand in your eyes on the way?"

Lu Shanshan immediately wiped away her tears, put on a gentle smile, and stood up to curtsy:

"Sister has arrived, and I have lost my composure. It's just that my dowry has been stolen by some thief, and I can't control myself for a moment."

Her voice trailed off, tinged with a hint of grievance, "I suppose my sister's dowry was also stolen? I heard that the manor's storerooms are completely empty."
