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

When Tang Qingye and Lu Ziren came home, Xia Yingying had already told Lu Haoran about her plan to open a shop in the county town.

It was obvious that Lu Haoran didn't want to leave. He didn't believe what Xia Yingying said, that Tang Qingye would go to the county town with her.

Although Xia Yingying has been much nicer to them during this period, he only trusts Lu Ziren.

"I want it right here, stepmother."

"Okay, whatever you want. I'll let my mother be here with you then."

Seeing that Lu Haoran was so stubborn, Xia Yingying did not force him to go to the county town, and he stayed here. She could go to the county town to do business alone, and let Song Ruyi and Qin Qingfeng stay here. After all, Lu Haoran was a child, and he couldn't live without a guardian.

"No, I'm fine here alone." Lu Haoran refused flatly.

Xia Yingying was stunned.

What's wrong with Lu Haoran? Why does his tone sound so much like the tone she used when she was angry with her grandmother when she was a child?

Xia Yingying thought carefully and confirmed that she had said nothing unreasonable, so she asked, "Are you angry with me?"

Apart from the tragic and vicious things the original owner did to Lu Haoran, Xia Yingying did not do anything excessive in the following period of time.

But ever since Lu Ziren came back, Lu Haoran always exuded hostility towards her, and she didn't know where this hostility came from.

Xia Yingying was about to say something else, but she heard the sound of horse hooves outside the door, so she ended the topic.

"Your father is back. I'll go see him. You should think about it carefully."

Xia Yingying knew that Lu Haoran disliked her, so she didn't hang around in front of him and went to open the door.

Although Lu Ziren did not go hunting in the mountains today, Chen Yi had become very familiar with every place in the mountains during this period of time, so he went to the mountains by himself.

Xia Yingying opened the door, Lu Ziren got off his horse, and helped Tang Qingye down.

Xia Yingying was about to tell Lu Ziran about Lu Haoran and ask Lu Ziren to persuade him, when she saw Tang Qingye from the private school standing next to Lu Ziren.

Xia Yingying was a country woman who didn't know how to salute. She had seen many ancient ways of saluting on TV before, but she thought that they would not be suitable here, so she bowed and made an awkward salute to Tang Qingye.

Although Tang Qingye was a teacher, he was not a pedantic old-fashioned man who only knew how to study hard. He also bowed to Xia Yingying.

"Mr. Tang, what is the matter with your visit to my humble abode?"

Tang Qingye frowned. Although the woman was wearing coarse cloth and a straw hairpin, her conversation was extraordinary. Was she literate?

"Have you ever been able to read?"

"I asked my son to teach a few words, but he didn't really learn them. He just learned a few simple words."

Xia Yingying said truthfully.

"Women in the world are like this. If their family conditions are not bad, who would not want to learn to read and write?"

"I heard that Haoran was sick. As a teacher who teaches and answers questions, I came to take a look. I wonder how serious his illness is?" Tang Qingye immediately told the purpose of his visit.

"Haoran just drank the medicine and is resting in bed. My husband, please bring Mr. Tang in slowly. I want to see if Haoran has woken up." Xia Yingying winked at Lu Ziren, asking him to delay Tang Qingye while she went to inform him. Unexpectedly, as soon as Xia Yingying left, she was blocked by Tang Qingye.

"Since we are already at the doorstep, why don't we go and see Haoran together."

Xia Yingying's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she immediately said, "Since it's rare for you to come to my humble abode to visit Haoran, please drink some tea and rest first. Haoran is sick and weak, so you don't need to go. I'm afraid he will be infected."

"Haoran is my disciple, so why would I not go to visit him if I'm afraid of contracting the disease?" Tang Qingye declined Xia Yingying's proposal. "Haoran's illness is very sudden and strange, and only after seeing him can I resolve the confusion in my heart."

"I wonder what confusion you have, sir?" Lu Ziren took the opportunity to ask.

"Before the holiday, Haoran was in good health and everything was normal. I don't know why he suddenly fell seriously ill on the eve of the competition and couldn't compete. Although the competition is more important, since he is my favorite disciple, it is my duty as a master to care about his health. You can take me in."

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, and that Tang Qingye had already said so much, if Xia Yingying refused she would be exposed, so she agreed.

"Sir, you and Lu Ziren take your time. I'll go see if Haoran has woken up." Xia Yingying spoke in a deliberately loud voice so that the whole yard could hear it.

When Lu Haoran heard that Tang Qingye was coming, he took a black pill from the small purple bottle and put it in his mouth. His body immediately became hot, and he lay on the bed with a pale face.

"No hurry, I'll go with you."

Lu Ziren supported Tang Qingye and walked slowly into the room where Lu Haoran lived.

Before Tang Qingye entered the room, Lu Haoran was lying on the bed holding a white handkerchief and coughing violently. When Lu Haoran moved the handkerchief away, there was a blood-red spot on it.

Xia Yingying was stunned when she saw that scene. How could this happen?

Is Lu Haoran really ill? But he was clearly fine before.

Is this drugged?

Lu Haoran is really reckless. All medicines are poisonous. I don’t know what kind of damage this medicine will cause to the body.

Tang Qingye was also shocked. Lu Haoran, who was originally lively and healthy, was now lying weakly on the bed, his face as pale as a piece of white paper, not to mention a little blood on the white handkerchief.

"Haoran, did you eat the food handed to you by others in the academy?"

Tang Qingye walked forward and held Lu Haoran's hand with a guilty look on his face.

During this period, because Yao had to compete with his rival's apprentice, Tang Qingye assigned Lu Haoran homework every day. Lu Haoran almost worked all day, and it was probably because of his overwork during this period that Lu Haoran became seriously ill.

In addition, he also heard that someone did not want Lu Haoran to play and attempted to harm Lu Haoran.

It was all his fault. Lu Haoran was just a child. He put all his vanity, self-esteem, and honor on a child, and never cared whether the child was willing or not. He was so wrong.

"Haoran, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have pushed you. Just take a good rest during this time."

Tang Qingye confessed to Lu Haoran with great guilt.

Lu Haoran was silent. At this moment, he felt a little guilty.

After Xia Yingying told him that she was going to the county town, he was still angry. It must have been Xia Yingying's arrangement that he should not be allowed to participate in the debate competition.

He didn't want to see Xia Yingying wearing the mask that was made for him. He couldn't wait to see her face changing, which must be exciting.

Who does Xia Yingying think she is? Isn’t she just a stepmother?

He hated Xia Yingying so much.

At first he thought Xia Yingying had really changed.

But what Xia Yingying wants now is only the family property.

He never acknowledged her.

He had concealed his true nature before because it was a choice he made under pressure, but now that Lu Ziren was back, there was no need for him to pretend anymore.
