Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

"Dad, Li Cuihua is so bad. She almost sold Xiaorou and almost killed my brother. Why don't you punish her?"

Lu Haojie's little head was full of confusion.

Isn't this revenge? Where is the revenge? Isn't this just asking for money?

"Dad, you and Li Cuihua signed a life and death agreement, why did you let her go? Isn't it easy to take her life?" Lu Haoran asked in the same confusion.

Lu Ziren's face darkened. He didn't expect that Lu Haoran would actually care about taking other people's lives.

Lu Ziren spoke in a deep voice and explained slowly and steadily.

"Even though I signed the life and death certificate, I don't have the right to take someone's life at will. This matter still needs to be handled by the government.

The purpose of the death warrant was just to scare her. Killing someone is not something you can do. There are thousands of ways to take revenge in the world. Putting yourself in danger for revenge is the worst possible strategy. Giving up your life for revenge is extremely stupid.

"I..." Lu Haoran was choked by Lu Ziren's words, his lips trembled, and his eyes turned red, "Dad, I was reckless, and I know I was wrong. Since sending her to the government is the best way, why don't you send Li Cuihua to the government?"

"Li Cuihua is a bad person and she will be dealt with by other bad people. I promised not to hand her over to the government, not because I am afraid of her or find it troublesome, but because her good days are over. We just need to wait and see. Besides, not handing her over to the government has its own advantages. Li Cuihua has not caused any substantial harm now. Even if we go to the government, at most she will be beaten with a few boards as a minor punishment and then released. Li Cuihua has already been taken to the government by Liu Xiucai. When I went there today, she was still arrogant, which shows that she is not afraid of the government. The best way to retaliate against someone is to give her hope, and hope turns into despair. Besides, Li Cuihua really doesn't need us to do anything, and it will dirty our hands." Lu Ziren explained to Lu Haoran.

"Well, that's great." Lu Haojie had suffered from Li Cuihua for a long time. Not only did Li Cuihua hurt his brother and sister, she also wanted to sell him out and steal his mother's business. Everything she did was extremely hateful. Such a person was really hateful. Lu Haojie couldn't help but applaud.

Lu Haoran felt relieved when he saw that Lu Ziren was not really planning to let Li Cuihua go.

The three of them returned home, washed up and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Xia Yingying counted all the money from selling pastries today and put it in the cash box in the space.

Calculating the time, it’s almost time to go to the county town.

She had only mentioned it before, but the family's financial situation was not very good at that time, so they didn't care.

Now that Lu Ziren is back, he goes hunting in the mountains every day. In addition to the money from selling cakes, he also earns some money from the prey.

The family’s savings were enough to open a pastry shop in the county town.

Besides, only in the county town could she realize her dream of opening a pastry shop. But she had to choose a time to go to the county town.

By the way, she has to tell Lu Ziren about going to the county town. They are partners now, and she can’t take the child away without telling him.

When Lu Ziren came back from washing up, Xia Yingying was sitting on the bed waiting for him. Xia Yingying looked at him with a gentle and fiery gaze, which made Lu Ziren's heart jump involuntarily and his ear clips turn slightly red.

He handed the purse to Xia Yingying and said proudly, "Here, this is the money that Li Cuihua owed you. I have already taken it back from you. Please count it. By the way, Li Cuihua and Wang Dachui have a grudge against each other. Soon, you will see that Li Cuihua and Wang Dachui will receive the punishment they deserve."

"Well, okay. By the way, I want to open a pastry shop in the county town, and I want to take my whole family with me." Xia Yingying took the purse and took the opportunity to tell Lu Ziren about her plan to go to the county town.

"Okay then." Lu Ziren spread the mat and nodded his agreement without hesitation. The county town was indeed more convenient than this small village. He had friends there too, so it would be easier to take care of them. He would feel more at ease after he left.

"What about Xiaowei and Haoran?" Lu Ziren agreed too quickly, and now it was Xia Yingying's turn to be dumbfounded.

Is this a real father? If he doesn't ask anything, how will he educate his children?

Xia Yingying certainly couldn't tell Lu Ziren, she knew the plot later, Tang Qingye would go to teach at Pingyang Academy in the county. Even if Lu Haoran went to the county, he would still be Tang Qingye's student. If she told him, Lu Ziren would think she was a monster.

"Of course they will follow. As you know, I will be returning to the capital in a while, so it will be inconvenient for me to take you with me. If you want to open a pastry shop, it will be more convenient in the county."

Lu Ziren does not have the pedantic idea that women must stay at home to take care of their husbands and children and never go out of the house.

Xia Yingying can do whatever she wants.

He couldn't let Xia Yingying know that he was rich now. He could tell her after she really became his wife.

Xia Yingying wanted to divorce him, and if she knew he had money, she would probably run away with the money. Lu Ziren was a little unsure.

"Okay, go to bed early. We have to send Xiaowei to private school tomorrow." After putting down her purse, Xia Yingying took a folded coat from beside the pillow and gave it to Lu Ziren.

"Okay." Lu Ziren took Xia Yingying's coat, and a light and elegant fragrance drifted into his nose.

Although the dress has a fragrance, it is not as soft and warm as Xia Yingying's body.

"Thank you." Lu Ziren thanked him.

Lu Ziren placed Xia Yingying's coat next to the pillow on the floor, took off his outer robe, extinguished the candle, and lay down on the floor wearing only his white undergarment and pants.

I closed my eyes and was about to rest when I heard Xia Yingying's voice: "By the way, there are cakes in the kitchen that I made today. They are all for Xiaowei's classmates. One of them is for her to eat in the private school. Don't forget it tomorrow."

"Okay." Xia Yingying's words stirred a warm feeling in Lu Ziren's heart.

After everything that needed to be explained was explained, Xia Yingying no longer had any worries and fell asleep hugging the quilt.

Because Lu Yuwei had to go to private school today, Lu Ziren woke Lu Yuwei up before dawn.

He went to the kitchen to get the prepared pastries and Lu Yuwei's package, put them on the horse's back, and rode the horse to take Lu Yuwei to the private school.

Because Lu Ziren came today, he did not ask Lu Yuwei to ask for leave for Lu Haoran, but went to see Tang Qingye in person.

Tang Qingye was reading "The Great Learning" in the lounge when he suddenly saw a bearded man with stern features knocking on the door.

Tang Qingye looked at Lu Ziren. This man looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

Tang Qingye thought about it. It was the capable deputy general beside King Kang. Why was he here? !

Most of the people under King Kang died in the big case many years ago, but Lu Ziren did not. He should be at the border now, so how could he appear in this small town?

Tang Qingye has never been involved in any party or political affairs and has no personal grudges with Lu Ziren. What is going on?

Tang Qingye's eyes widened, but he had seen the world after all, so he was not too panicked. He immediately straightened his robe and was about to salute Lu Ziren. Lu Ziren was quick to support Tang Qingye.

"Mr. Tang, this is unacceptable."

When Lu Ziren brought Lu Haoran to school before, he had met Tang Qingye before, but he had disguised himself at that time and Tang Qingye didn't recognize him at all. But now he looked like he really was without any disguise.

"I wonder what General Lu wants to see me about?" Tang Qingye asked carefully.
