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

Chapter 414 Hiding a "Beloved" in a Golden House 14

Not long after Xi Yao returned to her courtyard, Xue Pingzhi arrived in a rage.

"Xia!" He stood in the center of the room, clenching his fists. "What did Shanshan do to offend you? How could you bully her in her yard and even ruin Lingling's face?"

"Lingling is so young, not even married yet, and you've ruined her life, do you know that?!"

Xiaomei was trembling with fear, but she still stood in front of Xiyao.

"Lord, my lord, today the madam only visited the second madam and did nothing else. Miss Lü fell on her own and it has nothing to do with the madam."

"Get out!" Xue Pingzhi coldly looked at Xiaomei. "Get out, or I'll sell you out!"

Xiaomei was so frightened that she trembled and her face turned pale instantly.

She was almost sold to a brothel by her father, but the lady saved her.

So, no matter how scared I was, I never left.

"Xue Pingzhi, have I gotten too big for your britches?!"

Xi Yao pushed Xiao Mei aside, stood up, grabbed a cup, and threw it at Xue Pingzhi.

Unfortunately, it was dodged.

"Are you crazy?!" Xue Pingzhi looked at Xi Yao in disbelief. "You laid a hand on me? What happened to your authority as a husband?"

"Screw you, husband!"

Before Xue Pingzhi could react, Xi Yao had already pounced on him and punched him in the stomach.

He stumbled backward in pain, but bumped into a stool behind him and staggered.

Xi Yao kicked him in the back of the knee, and Xue Pingzhi's knees buckled, causing him to fall to his knees with a thud.

Immediately afterwards, Xi Yao grabbed his arm with her backhand and slammed his face to the ground.

The entire set of movements was fluid, clean, and crisp.

Xue Pingzhi was completely stunned.

He lay on the ground, half his face pressed against the cold bricks, his arm twisted painfully behind his back, but his mind was blank.

What?

What happened?

Was he beaten by Xia?

He was beaten down by the Xia family?!

"You..." Xue Pingzhi turned his head with difficulty, looking at Xi Yao in disbelief, "When did you...?"

In his memory, Xia Xiyao was a gentle and delicate young lady from a prominent family, who spoke softly and was afraid of stepping on ants.

For the past six months, I've been timid and submissive in the mansion, not daring to speak loudly.

This woman is now as ruthless as a martial arts assassin.

"When did you learn martial arts?" Xi Yao looked down at him and scoffed, "None of your business."

She released her grip, took two steps back, dusted off her hands, and looked at him indifferently.

Xue Pingzhi got up from the ground, his hair ornament was crooked, his clothes were disheveled, and his face was covered in dust. He looked extremely disheveled.

He stared at Xi Yao, his lips opening and closing repeatedly, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

He had never been beaten like this in his entire life.

Not to mention that the person who hit him was a woman.

Not to mention that this woman was his legal wife, whom he dared not even raise his voice to.

Xiaomei hid to one side, her eyes wide open and her mouth agape in an "O" shape.

She rubbed her eyes hard to make sure that what had just happened was not a hallucination.

Husband, wife, she...

Did the lady just beat up the Marquis?

And they beat him up so thoroughly?

Xi Yao walked to the table, poured herself another cup of tea, took a slow sip, and then looked up at Xue Pingzhi, who was still standing there.

"What, haven't you had enough yet?"

Xue Ping subconsciously took a step back, then realized how embarrassing his action was and stopped abruptly.

"Xia Xiyao, do you know what you're doing?" His voice was trembling with shock. "Beating your husband, that's one of the seven grounds for divorce..."

"Seven grounds for divorce?" Xi Yao sneered. "Then write a divorce agreement. Once you do, I'll leave and I won't linger."

Xue Pingzhi choked.

If he really divorces her now, what will people outside think of the Marquis's mansion?

Everyone would guess that the Marquis's mansion had set a trap to steal the dowry and then kick the people out.

Seeing that he remained silent, Xi Yao raised an eyebrow, her tone blatantly sarcastic: "Don't dare? Then stay away from me, or I'll beat you to a pulp."

And next time you take your anger out on Xiaomei, I won't just beat you; I'll turn your entire manor into ashes, just like that kitchen.

Xue Pingzhi's face turned ashen, his chest heaving violently for a while before he finally flicked his sleeve, turned around, and strode out.

The footsteps faded into the distance, and the courtyard fell silent.

Xiao Mei seemed to come alive then, rushing to Xi Yao with bright, sparkling eyes.

"Madam! You're amazing!" Her voice trembled with excitement. "When did you learn kung fu? How come I didn't know?"

"I learned it in my past life," Xi Yao said casually.

Xiaomei was stunned: "In...in your past life?"

"Just kidding." Xi Yao smiled helplessly. "By the way, Xiao Mei, I'm leaving the capital for the border town. Would you like to come with me?"

Xiao Mei paused for a moment, then nodded firmly, "Madam, wherever you go, I will go."

She realized that there was no place for the lady of the house to live in this marquis's mansion.

"Okay, go buy me something to eat on the street first."

"Yes, madam."

After Xiaomei left, 996 reappeared.

[Host, Xue Pingzhi has sent people to investigate you; he suspects you've been switched at birth.]

Xi Yao said expressionlessly, "Go ahead and investigate."

Anyway, we can't find it.

[Host, the figure drawing of the powerful figure that Lü Lingling had drawn has fallen into the hands of Xue Pingzhi's men. He probably knows that the guard beside you is the person in the drawing.]

"It seems I need to finish this and leave the capital as soon as possible."

Xi Yao leaned back in her chair, staring blankly at the courtyard.

If she doesn't leave, given Han Yunzhao's personality, he'll probably stay here too.

That won't do.

She remembered that Han Yunzhao was betrayed by his confidant in the army and ended up in Xirong.

After being missing for so long, morale among the troops is easily destabilized.

Moreover, according to the original trajectory, Han Yunzhao's brothers were forcing the deputy general to hand over the tiger tally in order to seize military power.

Besides Han Yunzhao, only that deputy general knew where the tiger tally was.

The deputy general refused, so the imperial court directly stopped supplying the army with provisions.

Therefore, Han Yunzhao must return as soon as possible.

[Host, if you ask me, you should just kill Xue Pingzhi's entire family, leave the capital, and go to Dongli with the big boss.]

The 996 work schedule is becoming increasingly brutal.

Xi Yao rolled her eyes. "Am I some kind of serial killer?"

[Host, you are...]

"..."

"Alright, if I really do that, do you think the Western Rong will let me go, or the Xia family?"

Xue Pingzhi held a noble title, yet he died under mysterious circumstances, along with his entire family. Would the court not investigate?

She, a woman from the Xue family, was living alone and had even returned to the Xia family; there was something wrong with her no matter how you looked at it.

Xi Yao herself didn't care, but she couldn't let the Xia family be implicated.

So, host, what do you plan to do?

"Make Xue Pingzhi sign the divorce papers."

Xue Ping's crime does not warrant death at present.

Are you going to negotiate with him?

I'm curious about 996.

Or could the host threaten Xue Pingzhi to force him to sign?

"I don't have the patience anymore." Xi Yao covered her eyes with her right hand. "Of course, I'll force him to sign."

As for Madam Wang, well, she suffered a stroke.

The Marquis's mansion was robbed, and she, with her old bones and limbs, was so angry that she suffered a stroke. Isn't that normal?

As for Lü Lingling, her face was disfigured, and it's understandable that a girl who loves beauty would commit suicide because she couldn't understand it.

This explains why Lü Shanshan felt guilty towards her sister and died of depression.
