I became a villain master, but I conquered the heroine

Gu Xi's mother Yun Qianyun begged Gu Weihua desperately, and finally Gu Xi was released from the ancestral hall. Since then, Gu Xi has been seriously ill.

It has already become clear that the mother and daughter of the Gu family are not valued. Having lost the support of the family and the love of the head of the mansion, one can imagine the life they are leading.

Later, Aunt Zhao repeatedly plotted to frame Gu Xi and her daughter, and would not stop until they were expelled from the Gu Mansion.

Yun Qianyun was like a lady from a noble family, raised in the boudoir since childhood, how could she fight against Aunt Zhao who was born and raised in the market?

Yun Qianyun's housekeeper rights in the Gu residence were gradually taken away by Aunt Zhao. Her title of mistress of the house was just a facade, and she was just an empty shell without any power at all.

When Gu Xi was nine years old, Gu Weihua divorced Yun Qianyun with a letter of divorce, and the mother and daughter were driven out of the Gu Mansion.

Yun Qianyun was raised in the boudoir by her father since she was a child. Before she got married, she only learned how to be a good wife and mother. She only knew how to play the piano, write poems, and arrange flowers, all of which were pretentious things.

Now the mother and daughter were driven out of the Gu Mansion and could not make a living. Moreover, Yun's father had passed away due to illness two years ago, and now the head of the Yun family is Yun Qianyun's brother Yun Qisheng.

Yun Qianyun had no choice but to take Gu Xi to seek refuge with her brother, hoping that he would take her and her daughter in temporarily for the sake of their blood relationship.

Over the years, the Yun family has been declining and has long lost its former glory. The current Yun family is living a tight life and their lives are not satisfactory.

The formerly magnificent Yun residence has been sold, and now the family only lives in a shabby little house in the alley, barely making a living by relying on the remaining silk products from the previous Yun family.

When Yun Qisheng saw that it was his younger sister who came to visit him, he took her in out of consideration of their old blood relationship.

But Yun Qisheng's wife was not happy and complained to Yun Qisheng more than once in the house.

The yard was small and the houses were adjacent to each other without sound insulation, so Gu Xi and her mother could hear her harsh complaints clearly.

"You don't have any money at home, why are you taking in these two freeloaders?"

"I work so hard every day, I don't want to serve someone irrelevant!"

"You'd better drive them away as soon as possible. It makes me feel upset and unlucky just watching them." and other similar words.

And Yun Qisheng would just lower his voice and say to her every time: "Keep your voice down, she is my biological sister."

She sneered and said sarcastically, "Sister? What's wrong with sister? The Yun family has been declining over the years, and I haven't seen her come to see you. Now that she has been divorced and has nowhere to go, she has thought of you as her brother."

When Yun Qisheng heard this, he remained silent.

Gu Xi, who was only nine years old, was at a loss when hearing such words. She couldn't stop the panic in her eyes and hurried to see her mother.

Yun Qianyun turned her face away, raised her hand and hurriedly wiped the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief, then hugged Gu Xi and patted her back gently, and finally the mother and daughter snuggled together.

Later, Yun Qianyun began to learn how to do housework, and asked Gu Xi to take the embroidery she made to the town to sell.

Although it was just a drop in the bucket for them who were so poor, it did help to stop her brother's wife from speaking harshly.

One day, Gu Xi went to the town's street as usual and found an empty spot to set up a stall, ready to sell the embroidery that her mother gave her.

She had just sold one item when a huge shadow was cast onto her stall.

Gu Xi raised his head and saw a burly man with a full beard standing in front of him. His round face was as rough as black soil and he stared at him with unfriendly eyes.

He smiled sinisterly and said to Gu Xi: "Hey, little sister, are you selling things?"

Gu Xi felt a chill and immediately grabbed the embroidery given by her mother and wanted to run away.

The sturdy man raised his foot and blocked Gu Xi, "Why are you running?"

"What...what...are you doing?" Gu Xi hugged the thing in her arms tightly, her face flushed and she buried her head and whispered.

"Have you paid the protection fee? You just want to set up a stall to make money." The sturdy man said with a ferocious look on his face and a bad tone.

"I...I have no money." Gu Xi avoided his gaze.

The sturdy man said with disdain: "No money? Then why are you setting up a stall? You have to pay protection fees to set up a stall on this street."

"In that case, give me what you have in your hand." The sturdy man said and tried to snatch the thing from Gu Xi's hand.

Seeing that the embroidery that her mother had worked so hard on was about to be snatched away, Gu Xi held on to the thing in her arms tightly.

But how could a grown man's strength compare to that of a child, and he saw the thing in his arms about to be snatched away.

Gu Xi bit the sturdy man's arm fiercely. The sturdy man let go of his arm in pain, cursed loudly, and kicked Gu Xi more than a meter away with his backhand.

"How dare you bite me, you little bastard!"

Gu Xi was kicked to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust. Severe pain instantly spread throughout her body, but she still held the thing in her arms tightly and refused to let go.

A child from Gu Xi's neighborhood saw Gu Xi being beaten and immediately ran to the alley to call for Gu Xi's mother. "Aunt Yun, Aunt Yun, your Gu Xi is being beaten."

There was quite a commotion here, and a crowd of people gathered around in an instant.

Yun Qianyun's face changed and she hurried to the street where Gu Xi often set up a stall.

From a distance, she saw a group of people gathered in a circle. She pushed aside the crowd and saw a burly man standing in front of Gu Xi.

Gu Xi was lying on the ground curled up in a ball. She didn't care about anything else and rushed to Gu Xi to protect her.

"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, how are you?" Yun Qianyun was trembling all over, and asked hurriedly while holding her in his arms.

"Mother...I...I'm fine..." Gu Xi responded intermittently and weakly.

Yun Qianyun turned her head and said angrily: "What are you doing to my child?"

"What are you doing! This little bastard actually dared to bite me!" The sturdy man was still aggressive.

"Mother, 'cough cough', he is trying to steal our things." Gu Xi coughed and showed the things in his arms to everyone.

When everyone looked closely, they found that they were several pieces of embroidery with exquisite workmanship.

Everyone immediately started whispering and blaming the strong man.

"Nonsense! It was clearly this little bastard who bit me first." The sturdy man blushed and denied it hastily.

"Even so, you can't hit a child." Someone in the crowd accused.

Everyone started to make a commotion. The strong man realized that something was wrong and was afraid of being reported to the police, so he pushed through the crowd and ran away.

After everyone left, Yun Qianyun's eyes sparkled with tears, and she choked up a little as she said, "Come, Xiaoxi, let me help you go home."

Seeing Yun Qianyun crying, Gu Xi hurriedly grinned, but her eyes suddenly turned red, "Mother, don't cry, Xiaoxi is fine..."

******

So many years have passed, and Gu Xi thought she would not remember it anymore, but when she saw the scene of the mother and child golden-horned beasts, the deepest memories in her heart were triggered.

It's not that she forgot, she just didn't want to think about it again.

The more he thought about it, the more hatred he felt in Gu Xi's eyes, and the chill in his heart couldn't stop...
