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

At the bottom of the letter paper was a thick stack of silver bills with a total face value of five thousand taels of silver.

When Xia Yingying saw the banknote, she was stunned.

But when she thought about the identity that Lu Ziren had concealed in front of her, it was not difficult for Lu Ziren to come up with the money given his status and position.

Xia Yingying accepted it with peace of mind. The money given by Lu Ziren was enough for Xia Yingying to retire early.

Xia Yingying put the thick stack of banknotes away in the space. She didn't need the money now, so it was safer to keep them in the space.

After Xia Yingying put away the banknote, she began to read the letter at the end.

After a while, Xia Yingying read all the remaining letters in her hand word by word.

Looking at the words on the letter, Xia Yingying felt as sweet as if she had eaten candied fruit.

Xia Yingying felt warm when she thought that there was someone in this world who was far away and cared about her and shared her joy.

Lu Ziren had already arrived in the capital and joined his army. He mentioned the torment he had endured on the road in a casual manner in the letter. Seeing the emperor's suppressed and urgent feeling, Xia Yingying could feel his fatigue between the lines of his words, and she felt a little distressed.

Xia Yingying originally thought that Lu Ziren would not tell her about the affairs of the court, but unexpectedly, Lu Ziren still told her a little bit of his feelings in a subtle way.

After reading the letter, Xia Yingying carefully folded the letter paper and put it back into the envelope, placed them in a wooden jewelry box, and then put them back in the space.

She increasingly felt that her own space was very convenient. Only she could enter the space, and no one else could enter. She didn't have to worry about putting precious things there, and it was very convenient to access them.

Xia Yingying sat on the bed, hesitating whether to reply to him.

Lu Ziren wrote so many letters to her, it would not be good for her not to write any more. Lu Ziren must be looking forward to her reply.

Xia Yingying thought about it seriously and finally decided to write a letter to Lu Ziren.

Xia Yingying followed Lu Haoran to learn to read and write and bought a pen, ink and paper, but she never used them. The last time she wrote a brush, she was too hurt.

It's such a waste of paper to write calligraphy like hers.

Lu Ziren's handwriting was very beautiful, and she was embarrassed to send her letter to him using crooked handwriting. Besides, Xia Yingying's handwriting was so huge that it would probably take several sheets of paper to write one sentence. To write a page of words for Lu Ziren, Xia Yingying would probably have to use a large stack of paper.

When the time came, she sent a letter to Lu Ziren, and the envelope was bulging with stuff. The sender might have thought she was sending clothes instead of a letter.

Xia Yingying thought about it and decided to use the charcoal pen she had used before to write a letter to Lu Ziren.

After all, she didn't have much talent in writing with a brush. Even if she practiced hard in her free time, the words she wrote were just huge, like a big basket that took up the entire piece of spotless white paper.

Xia Yingying took a charcoal pencil from the kitchen and started writing and drawing on paper. After a while, she had written a letter.

Xia Yingying did not describe her experiences during this period in detail like Lu Ziren did.

In the letter she also wrote about some important things she felt had happened in the past few days, especially about the young man who kept appearing in her shop, and the old lady who showed up today and said she wanted to sell her house.

In fact, Xia Yingying already had an answer to the attitudes of the two people in her heart, but she was inexplicably compelled to write to Lu Ziren about her inner fear and asked Lu Ziren how to solve the problem.

Xia Yingying thought for a while and added a few more words to the end of the letter.

"Everything is fine at home, and the children miss you. The children and I will be waiting for you to come back. Please take good care of yourself."

"Abandon it and don't talk about it again, work hard to add more food."

The words in Xia Yingying's letter were written in one breath, and the style was consistent with Lu Ziren's, but Xia Yingying did not write as much as Lu Ziren.

After writing, Xia Yingying was about to deliver the letter to the post station. As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw Lu Haojie looking at her as if he were a savior, his eyes wide open.

"Mother, what did Daddy write in the letter you received? Did he mention me?"

Lu Haojie's gaze was too hot.

Xia Yingying felt a little guilty, and she carefully recalled Lu Ziren's letter.

She was absolutely sure that the names of the children were not mentioned on the letter.

Lu Ziren didn’t mention the four children?

Xia Yingying didn't quite believe it. She recalled the contents of the letter again, unfolded the letter page by page and read it again. She found that Lu Ziren did not mention the number of children on the letter.

But looking at Lu Haojie's hot and fiery eyes, Xia Yingying didn't know what to say to him.

Oh, your dad didn't mention you at all.

Wouldn't that really prove that she was an extremely disgusting and vicious stepmother?

Why didn’t Lu Ziren mention these children?

Xia Yingying thought about it for a while but couldn't come up with the answer.

Xia Yingying didn't dare to show the letter to Lu Haojie, for fear that Lu Haojie would have unhealthy thoughts after reading it.

Although Lu Haojie and Lu Ziren are father and son, Xia Yingying always feels that the relationship between them is somewhat tense.

The two of them look down on each other. Once Lu Haojie finds out that Lu Ziren did not mention Lu Haojie in his letter, he will probably hate Lu Ziren in his heart.

Since Xia Yingying has already decided to get along well with Lu Ziren in the future, and she also knows that she has a good impression of Lu Ziren, she must not cause too much trouble for Lu Ziren.

Xia Yingying sighed, and then said to Lu Haojie gently, "Haojie, your father mentioned you. He asked you to practice martial arts at home and not give up halfway. When he comes back from the barracks, he will definitely check your martial arts. If you don't meet the standards, he may use a stick to whip your little butt. You better be careful."

When Lu Haojie heard Lu Ziren mention him, he was still very happy in his heart, but when he heard what Xia Yingying said later, Lu Haojie became unhappy.

What a stinky daddy, he's still thinking about his ass from such a far away place, hum. Bad guy!

Lu Haojie didn't know what other people's fathers said in the letters they sent back. The only thing he knew now was that he hated what he said to Lu Ziren.

Lu Haojie couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Xia Yingying did not miss Lu Haojie's reaction and said to him with a smile.

"Haojie, there are a few words about you in the letter your father sent. You can look for it yourself later. The letter paper is a bit thick, so you may need to read it for a while. I'll take it to you."

Lu Haojie really doesn't like reading or writing, let alone writing thick, densely packed words.

Xia Yingying's opening words had already aroused Lu Haoran's rebellion against Lu Ziren. Lu Haojie would definitely not ask to read the letter himself. He was not the kind of person who was willing to cause trouble and suffer for himself.

"Mom, I won't read the letter Dad wrote about spanking me. Since you've read it, I won't read it. I...I'm going to go play with Jingjing."

Lu Haojie said this and left quickly, not giving Xia Yingying any time to react, as if he was afraid that Xia Yingying would force him to read the letter.

"Huh..." Xia Yingying breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Lu Haojie didn't want to read the letters. There were so many of them, and on each of them Lu Ziren wrote his confession to her. Although not direct, it was still subtle enough to make her blush and her heart beat fast.

Xia Yingying didn't want Lu Haojie to read such a letter. Lu Haojie was a big mouth and a heartless person. What he just said might be spread to other people.

Xia Yingying couldn't imagine being teased and watched by everyone. She also didn't want to be looked at like a monkey.

After Xia Yingying dealt with Lu Haojie's affairs, she said something to Song Ruyi, took the silver and went to the post station to send a letter to Lu Ziren. There were not many people sending letters in the post station, so it was soon Xia Yingying's turn.

The person who received Xia Yingying's letter was the young man who delivered the letter. The young man chatted with Xia Yingying for a few words and quickly sealed Xia Yingying's letter with wax and packed it.

"When can we get to Kyoto?" Lu Ziren must be getting impatient.

"It will arrive in a month, and half a month if it's an expedited letter. But the expedited letter is more expensive." The young man explained to Xia Yingying.

"I want to send an expedited letter." Xia Yingying made the decision quickly.

"Okay, eighty cents in silver, do you want to send it? An ordinary letter costs fifty cents." The young man said to Xia Yingying.

My God, it was so expensive to send a letter in ancient times. It is much more convenient nowadays. As long as there is internet, the message can be sent to the other party’s mobile phone in one second.

A few dozen coins can buy several kilograms of pork.

This was the only way to send letters in ancient times. Xia Yingying didn't know how else to send the letter.

Although a few dozen coins were not a big problem for her, she still felt it was a bit expensive.

"Send it." Xia Yingying gritted her teeth and said, "Please give me some votes."
