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

Jingjing had originally thought that if Lu Haojie wanted to go to the academy to study, she would also let Qin Qingfeng take her there, but now that Lu Haojie was not going, she was relieved.

Jingjing was not sure she could persuade Qin Qingfeng to send her to the academy.

As far as she knew, going to the academy also required a sum of money. Qin Qingfeng had been staying and eating at Xia Yingying's house for some time and had no money at all.

Despite this, Jingjing still wants to give it a try.

She had already rehearsed many possibilities in her little brain.

Lu Haojie is Jingjing's best friend so far, and she doesn't want to be separated from him.

Going home is the best way to solve the problem of having no money, but she doesn't want to go back now. Besides, going home is more dangerous and she may even lose her life.

Lu Haojie came back with Lu Ziren. Originally, Lu Ziren planned to help Xia Yingying sell cakes, but when he came back, Xia Yingying had already closed the shop. Seeing Xia Yingying busy making cakes, Lu Ziren stepped aside to help.

Xia Yingying didn't know whether the nobleman who appeared in the store today was related to Lu Ziren, but in order to be on the safe side and completely eliminate potential danger, Xia Yingying thought about it and said it out. After all, this is a privileged society. Xia Yingying is just an ordinary person, but Lu Ziren is a powerful person.

Xia Yingying was an ordinary person in her previous life, and the original owner had no memory of having come into contact with the dignitaries in the capital. But that young man looked extraordinary at first glance. He was born in an aristocratic family, and he made such strange movements when he came to her shop. It must be that he had some relationship with Lu Ziren. Now Xia Yingying and Lu Ziren are grasshoppers tied to the same rope, and they should work together.

"Today, a man with extraordinary temperament came to my store. He is tall and thin, about 20 years old. He doesn't look like he is from the county town. His accent sounds very similar to Mr. Tang's wife."

Xia Yingying tried her best to describe the man's characteristics, hoping to describe him as clearly as possible, but she was short of words and could only simply describe the man's appearance.

She regretted not learning sketching, which would allow her to express herself through drawing when she lacked the language. She was very anxious when she couldn't express herself.

"This is all I can express. Can you understand?" Xia Yingying looked at Lu Ziren with a blushing face, not knowing whether he understood it or not.

"Aunt Yingying, I can draw. I can draw a portrait of that person."

Seeing that Xia Yingying was a little anxious, Jingjing volunteered to step forward and pulled Xia Yingying's sleeve and spoke.

"Really?" Xia Yingying's eyes lit up and she looked at Jingjing as if she had seen a savior.

"Wait a minute, I'll find you some paper and pen."

Xia Yingying immediately found some paper and pen and gave them to Jingjing, asking Jingjing to draw a portrait of that person.

Unexpectedly, although Jingjing was small, she had great painting skills. She drew that person in a short while. The portrait was very lifelike and captured the person's appearance and characteristics perfectly, stunning Xia Yingying, Lu Ziren and Lu Haojie.

"Jingjing, you are so awesome." Lu Haojie couldn't help but admire Jingjing at this time.

Jingjing blushed and shook her head.

Lu Ziren looked at the portrait and fell into deep thought.

The person in the picture is the third prince of Daliang. He is a brother of the current crown prince and has an elder sister, Miss Anping.

The moment he saw the Third Prince, he was sure that the man yesterday was indeed the Third Prince's eunuch. But why did he come to Xia Yingying's pastry shop?

Is this a warning to him because he is longing for the warmth of home and is not in the army?

However, Lu Ziren couldn't stay at home any longer. He had to leave tomorrow at the latest. If he didn't leave now, it would be too late.

Lu Ziren beat the remaining eggs and took over Xia Yingying's job of pouring the batter into the mold.

"Yingying, I'm leaving tomorrow." Lu Ziren said goodbye to Xia Yingying solemnly.

"Well, you can go without worry. I'll take care of the family. The beef jerky and pork jerky are already prepared. Please be careful on the road." Xia Yingying nodded to show that she understood.

Put all the batter in the mold into the oven one by one.

Seeing Xia Yingying's indifferent expression, Lu Ziren felt a little disappointed. He originally thought that Xia Yingying would express her reluctance to leave him, but he didn't expect Xia Yingying to be so indifferent. He guessed that she was hoping that he would leave.

Xia Yingying saw Lu Ziren looking at her with hesitation. She was confused, but still asked Lu Ziren tentatively, "Is the cake I gave you not enough? Pork jerky and beef jerky alone are not enough. Don't worry, I won't let you go hungry. I will pack the baked cakes for you to take on the road. But now it's cold, these bread and biscuits can only be kept for five days at most. You must eat them within five days, otherwise they will go bad."

Now that the weather is cold, they can be kept for a few more days. Xia Yingying wrapped the biscuits with greaseproof paper so that they can be kept for a few more days.

Although Xia Yingying made a lot of freshly roasted beef jerky and pork jerky yesterday, she only gave half to Lu Ziren because there were many people in the family who needed to eat. Especially the beef jerky, Xia Yingying was reluctant to give all of it to Lu Ziren.

When Lu Ziren heard Xia Yingying say this, he felt a little warmer in his heart and said to Xia Yingying.

"Don't worry, I will be back soon. You and the children wait for me. I will take you to the capital as soon as possible."

Lu Ziren's promise to Xia Yingying was almost as good as swearing to the sky.

"Well, I'm assured of you. I will wait for you to come back with the children." Xia Yingying patted her chest and promised Lu Ziren.

Because Lu Ziren was going to bring some pastries tomorrow, Xia Yingying made some more. The pastries she brought for Lu Ziren were biscuits, bread and other pastries.

These two things can be preserved for a longer time. The person in charge said that it would take him three or four days to travel from here to the military camp, and these things were enough for him to eat.

Because Xia Yingying couldn't find vegetables like carrots in the vegetable market, she directly made dried vegetables with green onions and made a small bag. She was afraid that Lu Ziren didn't understand how to make it, so she explained it to Lu Ziren. Seeing that Lu Ziren knew how to make it, she took out three bottles of fried mushrooms and put them in Lu Ziren's bag. She put a lot of salt in the mushrooms, so they tasted a bit salty, but they were very delicious when eaten with steamed buns or noodles.

Considering that the big pot meals that Lu Ziren ate in the military camp were watery and tasteless, bringing this kind of salty food to Lu Ziren was just the right thing to satisfy his craving.

In addition, Xia Yingying also made a cotton jacket for Lu Ziren. To be precise, she paid for the materials and asked Song Ruyi to help make it.

When Lu Ziren saw Xia Yingying busying around, a warm feeling rose in his heart. He thought how could he be so lucky to meet such a good Xia Yingying. Even if Xia Yingying had to drink his blood in the end, he would be happy with it.

After a while, Xia Yingying packed a lot of things for Lu Ziren. When Lu Ziren saw the large and small bags, his lips curled slightly.

Because Lu Ziren is leaving tomorrow and no one knows when they will see each other again, Xia Yingying prepared a sumptuous dinner today.

Beef in sour soup, stir-fried shredded pork, spicy fish head, clear and turbid Chinese cabbage, garlic tofu, ants climbing a tree, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and hand-shredded cabbage.

Considering that the food might not be finished, Xia Yingying only prepared these few dishes and also called Qin Qingfeng and Xiuniang to come.

After dinner, Lu Ziren talked to Chen Yi about meeting the Third Prince in the pastry shop today. Chen Yi's face changed and he grabbed Lu Ziren's arm, "Lu, Brother Lu, the Third Prince won't recognize me, right?" "Please vote"
