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

"You...you didn't sleep last night?"

"No." How could Xia Yingying let Lu Ziren know that she was thinking about him yesterday? "I just had insomnia yesterday and didn't get enough sleep."

"Then you still haven't slept." Lu Ziren replied casually.

Lu Ziren felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"But I'm not waiting for you, don't worry." Xia Yingying was afraid that Lu Ziren would overthink it, so she was embarrassed after explaining. Lu Ziren didn't say that she was waiting for him, so was this considered self-exposure?

After all, she was a woman and a little thin-skinned, so Lu Ziren did not continue to embarrass Xia Yingying.

Busy explaining why I came home late yesterday.

"Yesterday I found out someone was trying to find out about Haoran, so I went out and didn't come back all night."

Xia Yingying frowned when she heard this.

Lu Ziren explained that the person who was gathering information was the person sent by Ye Xinghe, Lu Haoran's opponent this time.

Would it be useful to send someone to the village to investigate?

Xia Yingying looked at Lu Ziren in confusion, waiting for his explanation.

"Don't worry, I will protect Haoran."

When he left, the group was still staying in the inn with Ye Xinghe and others.

What kind of thing is it to come to someone else's village for no reason to inquire about the situation? I don't know how Lu Haoran is doing in the private school.

"Do you want to go to the private school to protect Lu Haoran these few days?"

What Lu Ziren said was just empty talk. Xia Yingying was a little worried about Lu Haoran. Ye Xinghe was the protagonist in the book and was extremely lucky in the original book. This time, Lu Haoran was facing him and no one knew what would happen.

"That's not necessary. He has the ability to protect himself. Believe him." Lu Ziren dispelled Xia Yingying's doubts.

Lu Ziren is Lu Haoran's father. He will not harm his own son. He, a biological father, is not anxious, so why should she, a stepmother, be anxious? Besides, who is Lu Ziren? He is the villain with the highest IQ in the book. It is right to believe in him.

Xia Yingying felt relieved.

"By the way, you don't have to wait for me when I go out to do something. Just rest assured. I will take good care of myself."

Lu Ziren said this unexpectedly.

Xia Yingying was startled by these words. He said this as if she was worried about him.

"That's not necessary." Xia Yingying blushed, and in order to avoid embarrassment, she immediately ran into the kitchen.

Seeing Xia Yingying leaving, Lu Ziren chased after her: "Yingying, let's go to the town and stay for a few days. Haoran's opponent happens to be in the inn, so we can know about any movement as soon as possible."

Xia Yingying originally went into the kitchen to hide from Lu Ziren, but Lu Ziren's words touched her heart. Although she couldn't do other things, she could still monitor the enemy's abnormalities.

Besides, the competition between Lu Haoran and Ye Xinghe will be held in a few days. There will surely be more twists and turns that day, so it is safer to stay close to Lu Haoran.

"Okay. We'll go after we finish our meal."

Fortunately, Xia Yingying got up late today and did not have time to make pastries, otherwise she would have to sell pastries today and would have wasted a lot of time.

After they had eaten and washed the dishes, they told Qin Qingfeng that they were going to stay in the town for a few days, but Qin Qingfeng did not go, and neither did Chen Yi.

Originally, Song Ruyi wanted to stay at home, but when she heard that they were going to cheer up Lu Haoran, she went with them.

Except for Qin Qingfeng and Chen Yi who stayed at home, Song Ruyi, Xia Yingying, Lu Ziren, Lu Haojie, Lu Yurou and Jingjing went to the town together.

There were many people in the family, so Lu Ziren pulled out his BMW and hitched it to a ox cart, and the group went to the town in a mighty manner.

Xia Yingying and her group arrived in the town and went straight to the inn.

The proprietress was very familiar with Xia Yingying and the others. When she saw them coming, she came up to greet them warmly: "Hey, Yingying, why are you in town? But you still want to rent the same house as last time?"

"Are you still there? We're only renting it for a few days, but there may not be enough rooms, so we need to rent another single room."

Xia Yingying was extremely surprised, as she had originally planned to rent the house she lived in last time for a short period of time.

You can't cook for yourself when you rent a single room, and eating out is expensive. They have so many people, so they can save as much as they can.

The most important thing is that the bed in a single room is small, so if you want to rent a single room, you need several rooms, which is far less cost-effective than renting a house.

"Yingying, even if you want to rent a single room, you can't. My inn is basically full now. I can only rent the room you have."

Xia Yingying raised her eyebrows and looked at the proprietress curiously.

"Master Tang from the private school wants his apprentice to compete with another master's apprentice. A lot of people have come to the town these days, and the rooms in the inn are full. You can't stay there even if you want to. But don't worry, I have already added new bedding to the house I rented to you last time. A few days ago, a group of people wanted to rent that room, but they ended up staying at the inn. Now it's more than enough for you to stay there. The rent can be paid by the day. Give me twelve coins a day. What do you think?"

"OK."

Xia Yingying did the math and found that the daily rent was indeed a little more expensive than the monthly rent, but the landlady didn't charge much more, so she booked the room immediately.

At this time, the proprietress came over, staring at Xia Yingying up and down with a pair of eyes that seemed to be gleaming with brilliance. Xia Yingying felt very uncomfortable being looked at by the proprietress's eyes. She could not help but pinching her sleeves and taking a step back.

She lowered her voice and said to Xia Yingying, "The room is big enough for you guys to sleep in. Are you and your husband not a real couple, but a fake couple? Otherwise, why would you rent another room?"

The proprietress looked carefully and saw that Xia Yingying looked young and immature, without the charm and grace of a married woman. Could it be that they haven't consummated their marriage yet?

Xia Yingying's face flushed and she lowered her head embarrassedly. Are these eyes so sharp?

When the proprietress saw Xia Yingying's reaction, she immediately knew that her guess was correct.

Xia Yingying is not ugly, with a beautiful face, very feminine, and capable. Who wouldn't like such a woman? Besides, Lu Ziren looks strong, not like the kind of person who looks useless. Is there some unknown hidden disease?

The boss lady immediately felt sorry for Xia Yingying. How could she marry such a useless man?

However, if it was a medical problem, she could solve it. She had known a miracle doctor before and he left her a prescription that could cure this kind of problem. So the lady boss lowered her voice and said to Xia Yingying:

"Is it because your man is not good enough? Don't worry, I know a medicine that can make men full of energy. If you want to have children, I can also provide a prescription."

Xia Yingying immediately widened her eyes and looked at the proprietress in amazement.

When the proprietress saw Xia Yingying's reaction, she thought she had guessed what she was really thinking, so she took Xia Yingying's hand and held it tightly.

"Yingying, don't worry. You and I are destined to be together. I don't want you to be a widow for the rest of your life. I have a prescription that specifically treats men's problems."

The proprietress is thirty-five years old and everyone calls her Xiuniang.

Xia Yingying's eyes almost popped out, and she was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to start.

Xiuniang thought Xia Yingying was embarrassed, so she continued, "My husband and I almost got divorced. Luckily, a miracle doctor passed by and gave me a prescription. I tried it out of desperation. Wait a minute, I'll get you the key and prescription."

"Xiuniang, the prescription is no longer needed." Xia Yingying quickly refused.

Is Lu Ziren capable? Xia Yingying didn't want to know, and it was impossible for her to know. They were just a fake couple, and she didn't care at all.
