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

Chapter 416 Hiding a "Beloved" in a Golden House 16

Xi Yao narrowed her eyes. "Is Xue Pingzhi trying to pin a label on the Xia family?"

"No." She suddenly stood up. "I'm going to stop Yun Zhao from coming here."

[It's too late, host.]

The moment the words "996" were spoken, the window was pushed open.

Han Yunzhao, dressed in all black, had already entered.

He first closed the window, then turned around, pulled off his face towel, and said with a solemn expression, "Yaoyao, I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this. We can't stay in the capital anymore. I'll take you away tonight, okay?"

Xi Yao's expression changed, and she reached out and pushed him toward the window. "You go first. The whole city is after you."

"No." Han Yunzhao grabbed her wrist. "Yaoyao, let's go together. I can't leave you here."

He noticed something was wrong when he went into the city today, so he guessed it.

His identity has probably been exposed, and the Western Rong people are looking for him.

[Host, Xue Pingzhi and the officials from the Capital Prefecture will arrive in about half a cup of tea's time.]

The sound of "996" echoed in her mind, making Xi Yao's brows furrow even more.

"You leave first. I have my own way of getting away. No one here can hold me back."

"No way." Han Yunzhao refused without thinking and put his arm around her waist. "Come on, Yao Yao."

No matter how powerful your martial arts are, they are useless in front of a massive army.

Seeing the window being pushed open, Xi Yao reacted quickly and struck his pressure point to knock him unconscious.

Han Yunzhao turned his head to look at her in disbelief. Although he wanted to keep his eyes open, he couldn't resist his body's instincts and fell down unwillingly.

Xi Yao reached out and caught him, then started buying things in the system shop.

[Host, what are you doing?! Why did you knock the big boss unconscious?!]

The screams from the 996 work schedule are enough to pierce your eardrums.

"Shut up!"

Xi Yao didn't have time to explain further. "Quickly locate the positions of Yun Zhao's subordinates."

【Huh? Uh, okay.】

996 responded quickly and immediately provided the location.

Xi Yao, holding Han Yunzhao, used a teleportation talisman.

"who!?"

An Yi was arranging the backup when he suddenly heard a faint noise from his left rear, and he immediately tensed up.

The master said that the Western Rong people might discover their identities, so they should proceed with caution.

He drew his sword and cautiously walked step by step toward the source of the commotion.

Upon seeing the person sleeping soundly in the grass, he gasped in surprise:

"master!"

Seeing Han Yunzhao being successfully taken away from a distance, Xi Yao bought a teleportation talisman and returned to the Wuxin Marquis's residence.

Because Xue Pingzhi brought his men to her courtyard.

"My lord, it's so late, the madam is already asleep. You cannot go in!"

Xiaomei stood in the doorway, blocking people with a death-defying resolve.

Judging from the Marquis's expression, it looked like he wanted to devour someone, and he had brought many people with him. She couldn't let the lady get hurt.

"roll!"

Xue Pingzhi coldly stared at this ungrateful maid who dared to defy her superiors.

"This is the Marquis's residence. How dare you stop me from going wherever I want?"

Xiaomei's legs were trembling and her face was pale, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered.

"Very good." Xue Pingzhi narrowed his eyes. "Guards, take this maid away and send her to the slave trader first thing tomorrow morning."

"Oh, Marquis Wuxin, what an imposing official position you have."

Xi Yao opened the door, crossed her arms, and coldly looked at the people in the courtyard.

"Madam." Xiaomei was very anxious. She hesitated, tears welling up in her eyes.

Will we be able to get through tonight's turmoil safely?

"Xiaomei, you go back first."

"But……"

"Listen to me, take your things first."

Seeing that her master's attitude was resolute, Xiaomei could only grit her teeth and leave, turning back every step of the way.

After she left, Xi Yao sneered and looked at Xue Pingzhi, "Bringing so many men to my courtyard in the middle of the night, Marquis Wuxin, you really have good upbringing."

"I don't want to argue with you today," Xue Pingzhi said coldly. "All you need to do is tell me where that person went."

"Who? Where did they go?"

"Don't play dumb, you know that."

Xi Yao looked completely innocent. "I don't know anything. Who are you talking about?"

"You think everything's fine once you get the divorce papers?" Xue Pingzhi sneered. "That man surnamed Han is a spy from an enemy country. Tell me, what would happen if I reported this to the Emperor that your Xia family is colluding with an enemy nation?"

"Are you threatening me?" Xi Yao narrowed her eyes. "What enemy spy? Wasn't he the guard you sent me? Someone your Xue family hired, and you're trying to pin this on me?"

"you!"

Xue Pingzhi's chest heaved violently several times before he could barely suppress his anger.

"The Prefect of the Capital's men have already located him. Do you think you can get away with denying it?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Xi Yao said calmly. "You're dreaming if you think I, the Xia family, will take the blame."

Xue Pingzhi clenched his teeth so tightly that his fists were practically dripping with sweat.

Just as he was about to order his men to take action, footsteps came from the doorway.

A man dressed in official robes entered, accompanied by two guards.

This is the Prefect of Jingzhao.

"Lord Marquis." He first clasped his hands slightly, then turned to look at Xi Yao, before turning back to Xue Pingzhi and saying, "We tracked him and found that he was heading towards the Marquis's residence."

That man's martial arts skills were truly too high; even his most skilled light-footed subordinates couldn't catch up with him and were instead toyed with.

Before Xue Pingzhi could speak, Xi Yao began her performance.

She looked terrified, and her tone was weak and pitiful:

"Hou Ye, why did you bring so many men to my courtyard in the middle of the night? I've already agreed to a divorce and don't want the dowry you brought. Why do you still want to ruin my reputation?"

Xi Yao held onto the door frame with one hand, her eyes red-rimmed, tears welling up, seemingly about to fall.

She looked like a frail and helpless woman, with a beautiful face; any man would feel pity for her.

996 watched in stunned silence.

Another day of being completely captivated by my host's acting skills.

"What nonsense are you spouting?!" Xue Pingzhi's face darkened. "When did I ever say I wanted a divorce? Besides, your dowry was stolen by thieves, and the Prefect of the Capital has already sent people to search for the thieves."

Xi Yao ignored him, only wiping her eyes, her voice trembling with tears: "Ever since you suddenly brought me a guard a few days ago, you've changed."

First, they made me arrange for that so-called guard to stay in the courtyard. I didn't dare object at all, even though I knew he was an outsider, but since it was someone you, my husband, arranged, I had no choice but to obey.

"Shut up!" Xue Pingzhi's eyes blazed with anger. "If you keep twisting the truth, don't blame me for disregarding our marital bond."

"Marital affection?" Xi Yao smiled bitterly. "You took a concubine after only a few months of marriage. What marital affection is left?"

As she spoke, she tilted her head back for a moment, as if trying to force back the tears welling up in her eyes.

"You arranged for a man to stay in my courtyard, and the next day you locked me in the courtyard and confined me to my quarters under the pretext that I was keeping a man as a mistress."

I don't even know that person. All you've done is want a divorce, but also want to leave my generous dowry to the Marquis's mansion to cover its losses, right?
