Adorable Villain: Male God, I am not Trying to Rob You.

The Gu family's breakfast has a fixed hour. On weekdays, everyone will arrive at the dining room early and wait for the master and eldest wife to arrive to have dinner together.

Now that Gu Yuanzhang is not at home, the person with the highest status in the family is naturally the eldest wife Yao Nuanshu.

What's strange is that Yao Nuanshu has arrived today, but Su Jiuxi hasn't come yet.

Although Su Jiuxi was very popular in the Gu Mansion and was the target of envy and jealousy for most people, she was actually very good at being a good person. She treated Yao Nuanshu with even more respect and no one could fault her.

"Sister, why hasn't Xiaojiu come yet?"

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, the second aunt Fang Lan, who was sitting next to Yao Nuanshu, couldn't help but approach her and ask in a low voice.

"Aunt Jiu is always very busy, maybe she overslept?"

After hearing Fang Lan's words, the woman wearing a red cheongsam sitting at the outside of the dining table couldn't help but whisper coldly.

The person who spoke was none other than the eighth aunt Tai Qu Yunxuan.

"Jiuxi is not an insensible person."

Yao Nuanshu glanced at Qu Yunxuan and whispered lightly. Then she turned and looked at the maid next to her: "Chunmei, go and have a look in Mrs. Jiu's yard to see if something happened to her. ?”

"It's the eldest lady."

After listening to Yao Nuanshu's instructions, the maid Chunmei on the side was about to go out, but she saw Xia Beibei wearing a light green cheongsam walking in with a graceful posture.

"I'm sorry, eldest sister. Sisters, you've been waiting for a long time!"

Xia Beibei smiled at Yao Nuanshu, then slowly walked to the seat next to her and sat down.

"Jiu Yiniang, your face?"

Today, Xia Beibei's wavy hair was not tied up, but scattered lazily on her face, half-covered, barely able to cover a trace of blood on her face.

Gu Zijin is the eldest son of Gu, and he usually sits on the other side of Yao Nuanshu. From his angle, he can just see the scars on Xia Beibei's face.

That's why he was the first to ask.

"Jiuxi, what did you do?"

Yao Nuanshu also saw the blood on Xia Beibei's face at this time, and she was about to raise her hand to touch it.

Xia Beibei quickly hid: "Sister, I'm fine. Last night...well, I didn't sleep well. I kept everyone waiting for a long time. Let's eat quickly!"

"Tsk, tsk."

Hearing Xia Beibei's words, the others didn't say anything. Qu Yunxuan couldn't help curling her lips and glanced at Xia Beibei coldly: "Jiu Mei, don't you usually care about your face the most? But don't you? Don't make any mistakes. If you accidentally disfigure your face, what will you do if this uncle comes back and sees it?"

"Thank you, Eighth Sister, for your concern."

Xia Beibei smiled faintly at Qu Yunxuan with complicated eyes.

Qu Yunxuan is only three years older than Su Jiuxi, and they both started at about the same time.

The Qu family is also a big family in the provincial capital. Although Qu Yunxuan is a concubine in the Qu family, she has been well-educated and sensible since she was a child. She was originally fascinated by Gu Yuanzhang's style and fell in love with him, thinking that she would become his most popular one. A special one, who knows...

Not long after she married into the Gu Mansion, Gu Yuanzhang brought Su Jiuxi back from Shencheng.

Su Jiuxi is a girl who does one thing on the outside and another behind the scenes. She is especially good at pretending to be pitiful in front of the eldest uncle and eldest wife. She also coaxes all the young ladies and young masters around. She is also very good at pleasing people. Gu Yuanzhang relies on her in everything. In the past few years, Everyone in the entire provincial capital knew that Gu Yuanzhang's ninth aunt was a capable and beautiful woman. Who knew about her eighth aunt?

For this reason, Qu Yunxuan has always held a grudge against Su Jiuxi, and even always wanted to kill her.

The tit-for-tat confrontation between the two people has not lasted for more than a day or two. The other sisters in the house pretended that they did not see the smell of gunpowder between the two people, so they did whatever they should do...

Yao Nuanshu was very enthusiastic and kept picking up food for Xia Beibei, and even ordered the maid to hire a doctor for her early.

Xia Beibei watched the expressions of everyone at the table and remained calm.

After eating, she returned to her house. Lixiang was still kneeling in the yard, and Yunhui was looking at her.

"Aunt Jiu, you are back!"

When Yunhui saw Xia Beibei's figure, he immediately shouted loudly.

"Um."

Xia Beibei nodded, then slowly took out a silk handkerchief from her arms and wiped it on her cheek. She wiped away most of the long-dried blood.

Naturally there won't be any wounds on her face, because the blood is Reika's.

"Nine Yiniang! Jiu Yiniang!"

At this moment, a figure ran over fiercely.

Xia Beibei turned his head and saw Gu Zijin, who was handsome and elegant in a white shirt and a small dress.

"Zijin, what's wrong?"

Xia Beibei turned around and asked.

"your face……"

Gu Zijin took a bottle of medicinal powder and then looked at Xia Beibei's face blankly.

"Oh, it's okay. It's actually Lixiang's blood. This girl dared to steal my things. I scratched her face when I was angry this morning. As a result, the blood splashed on my face. I didn't notice it. After all, this is a scandal in my yard, so I don’t dare to publicize it.”

Having said this, Xia Beibei looked at the medicine bottle in Gu Zijin's hand with a smile: "Is this for me? Western medicine? It's very expensive!"

"Um."

Hearing Xia Beibei's words, Gu Zijin smiled faintly: "Jiu Yiniang, you are the best to me, and I should be nice to you."

"real?"

Xia Beibei took the medicine bottle from Gu Zijin's hand and played with it in his hand for a while: "You kid, do you have something to ask of me? Or did you get into trouble in the store?"

"No, no, actually..."

When Gu Zijin saw that Xia Beibei understood his intentions, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "Jiu Yiniang, I have a friend, she...her store is temporarily experiencing some difficulties. I know that the gentleman in charge is the most obedient. Jiu Yiniang, what you said, can you tell them to collect the rent later?"

"Oh? Your friend? Which store is it?"

Hearing Gu Zijin's words, Xia Beibei couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly and asked curiously.

"It's the Ning's Teahouse on Xiangshun Street."

Ningjia Tea House!

Upon hearing this, Xia Beibei immediately searched Su Jiuxi's memory for information about this store.

That teahouse... was a very ordinary small teahouse on Xiangshun Street. Because many shops on this street were owned by the Gu family, Su Jiuxi often took people there to inspect. She also remembered that the person who rented this shop was a For father and daughter, they depend on each other and make a living by running a teahouse.

Well, that’s right! Boss Ning's daughter was very beautiful, but in Su Jiuxi's memory, that girl was particularly rude and uncultured, and she didn't like it.

Could it be...

"Zi Jin!"

Xia Beibei raised his head and glanced at Gu Zijin: "I happen to have nothing to do today, why don't you take me to that teahouse to have a look? If the business is not good, you can't survive by just delaying the rent payment. If you want to help others, you can help others." Help to the end - teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish!"

Hearing Xia Beibei's words, Gu Zijin's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Jiu Yiniang. I'll wait for you, Jiu Yiniang. Let's go together. You must have a way, right?"

"Well, wait for me!"

Xia Beibei smiled faintly, then turned his head and glanced at Lixiang with a cold look: "Damn girl, I'll spare you this time, why don't you come in and help me comb my hair!"

"Thank you, Mrs. Jiu! Thank you, Mrs. Jiu!"

After hearing Xia Beibei's words, Lixiang immediately struggled to stand up. Although her legs were numb, she still limped and followed Xia Beibei as hard as she could.

The two of them returned to the bedroom and closed the door. Xia Beibei, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around, raised his hand and strangled Lixiang's neck: "I'll go out in a while, and you have to help me finish something before I come back." , if you can’t handle it, I will send you to... Huangquan Road today!"

"Yes Yes!"

Lixiang felt Xia Beibei's cold and cruel gaze, and she immediately agreed in a panic: "Please tell me, Ninth Aunt, I will do my best to make up for my fault!"

"I hope you can do it."

Xia Beibei let go of his hand and whispered a few words into Lixiang's ear. Lixiang immediately nodded hurriedly: "I know, I know! I will definitely do it properly!"
