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

Before Xia Yingying could stop her, Xiuniang had already rushed towards the inn like a gust of wind.

Lu Ziren had already parked the carriage, waiting for Xia Yingying to go with him. He didn't hear what Xiuniang said to Xia Yingying just now, but he could see that they were chatting happily.

Finally, seeing Xia Yingying's horrified expression, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What were you talking about just now?"

"Nothing." Xia Yingying felt a lump in her heart, fearing that Lu Ziren would hear the issue that Xiuniang had just discussed with him. I believe that no man would want to hear himself being discussed in this way. Xia Yingying felt very guilty, secretly looking at Lu Ziren with her peripheral vision, only to see that there was nothing unusual on his face, and Xia Yingying breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, Xiuniang came and when she saw Lu Ziren, she looked at him with a very strange look, but Lu Ziren didn't care much.

"Here, the key." Xiuniang handed the key to the house to Xia Yingying. Xia Yingying was relieved when she saw that Xiuniang did not give her the prescription. Otherwise, Lu Ziren would know that she thought of her like that after seeing the prescription, and she would not be able to explain it even if she had eight mouths.

It seems that Xiuniang was just talking and didn't have the prescription in her hand.

"Thank you." Xia Yingying thanked her and was about to walk over, but was grabbed by Xiuniang's sleeve. Xiuniang secretly took out a thin piece of paper folded into a square from the pocket inside her sleeve and handed it to Xia Yingying.

Xia Yingying's body stiffened, her face turned pale, and her voice suddenly became unclear: "No... no need."

Xiuniang thought Xia Yingying was embarrassed, so she quietly held the note in Xia Yingying's palm. Now Xia Yingying didn't even have the chance to refuse, so she had to bite the bullet and quickly put the note into her sleeve, holding it tightly for fear that Lu Ziren would see it.

"I wish you and your wife a long and happy marriage, and may you have a baby soon. When you have a baby, don't forget to invite me to the wedding. I will give you a big red envelope."

Xiuniang said with a smile on her face.

Xia Yingying couldn't help but twitch her face and the corners of her mouth twitched. After a moment, she squeezed out a sentence: "Okay."

"You know the way, so I won't send you there. You can just return the key and pay me the money."

After saying that, Xiuniang left happily, leaving Xia Yingying with a graceful back.

Xia Yingying cleared her throat and called Lu Ziren to go to the house together. When she saw Lu Ziren, Xia Yingying couldn't help feeling guilty and unconsciously kept a distance from him.

Lu Ziren raised his eyebrows and followed calmly.

Not long after, the two arrived at the house they had rented before. The house was very clean and well-equipped, except for the lack of food.

Xia Yingying planned to go to the market with Song Ruyi to buy some vegetables, but Song Ruyi refused.

"Yingying, you go with Ziren." Even Xiuniang could see that their relationship was a little weird, so how could Song Ruyi not know?

This time she was trying her best to keep them together and cultivate their relationship. Lu Ziren would have to go to the battlefield again in a while and it was unknown when he would be back. Xia Yingying's belly had been still during this time.

"Okay." Lu Ziren agreed.

Xia Yingying took a bamboo basket and went with Lu Ziren.

Lu Haoran originally wanted to go together, but Song Ruyi stopped him with a look before he could open his mouth, so he stayed at home and played with Jingjing.

There were not many vegetables at the market. Xia Yingying bought potatoes, melons, tofu and a bundle of Chinese cabbage.

It would be too monotonous to just eat vegetables, so we also need to buy some meat.

The pork is sold out today, but there is still fresh fish. "Lu Ziren, let's go buy some fish."

"it is good."

Along the way, Xia Yingying paid and Lu Ziren carried the vegetables. It was rare to see women paying in rural areas. Usually, when a couple went out together, the husband would pay and the woman would follow behind, obediently.

Therefore, when Xia Yingying and Lu Ziren came out, they formed a particularly eye-catching landscape. Many people pointed at the two of them, but there was no such hierarchical relationship between them. The status between the two was very equal, which was normal for them.

A big man who was buying fish said to Lu Ziren who was following behind him, "Brother, you are controlled by your wife at home. You should fight for our men's face and not let your wife control you. Your wife looks thin and thin, and she is not as strong as you. You are really embarrassing us men."

Xia Yingying looked up coldly, and Lu Ziren said calmly, "My dear brother, the money in our family is earned by my wife, so it's not wrong for her to pay."

"Tsk tsk, so you're a gigolo. People like you are spineless. You don't deserve to come here to buy fish."

After hearing what Lu Ziren said, the man looked at Lu Ziren with contempt as if he was trash.

"Brother, this is our business, it's none of your business. Besides, you're not the one selling the fish, so why are you giving me orders? Even if someone like you sells me fish, I won't buy it because all you sell is rotten fish."

The young man who bought the fish was so stunned by Xia Yingying's speech that he couldn't say a word.

"You...how can you say that big brother's fish is smelly? This is leaving us no chance to survive." Seeing that he couldn't win the argument with Xia Yingying, the young man who bought the fish wanted to bring the fish stall owner to blame Xia Yingying as well.

But the stall owner couldn't help but touch his head and sighed.

"I say, this is someone else's family affair, why are you interfering here? You only see their appearance, but you don't know how loving they are behind the scenes. You'd better stop interfering."

"You...you..." The man was so angry that he couldn't breathe because of the fish stall owner's words.

He put down the fish that the stall owner had just caught for him and said, "I don't want to buy it. Give me back my money."

The fish stall owner did not argue with him. He put the fish into the big basin for fish and counted the money he had just collected and returned it to him. The man took the money and counted it. When he saw that the amount was correct, he stared at Lu Ziren and Xia Yingying with cold eyes, said "Pah" and left.

"My two guests, please don't bother with him. He is a little narrow-minded and narrow-minded. What kind of fish do you want? I have grass carp, silver carp, crucian carp, and perch. How do you want to eat it?"

"Give me a sea bass and a crucian carp." Xia Yingying planned to make steamed sea bass and crucian carp soup.

"Okay, wait a minute."

"By the way, help me kill me."

"it is good."

The fishmonger was skilled and quickly cleaned the two fish. Xia Yingying gave him money and thanked him. Lu Ziren carried the two fish and a basket of vegetables and they went home.

These dishes are enough for cooking in the evening.

She had made some biscuits before she came, which could also be kept. Xia Yingying planned to take Lu Haojie with her to deliver them to Lu Haoran and Lu Yuwei after dinner, and by the way, find out what kind of situation Lu Haoran was facing in the private school.

She knew that Lu Haoran didn't like her, so she didn't plan to go in person, but asked Lu Ziren to go.

Besides, even if she went in person, Lu Haoran might not tell her the truth. Lu Ziren had a high IQ and martial arts skills, and could see many things that she, an ordinary person, didn't know.

"By the way, after dinner, can you please deliver the cakes I made today to Xiaowei and Haoran, and find out about Haoran's situation in the private school."

"it is good."
