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

"Have you heard that General Lu has married? Who is this woman surnamed Xia to the general? Why does the general attach so much importance to her?"

"She might be General Lu's cousin. You know, cousins ​​usually end up getting married."

"Then this Xia must be General Lu's sweetheart. Otherwise, why has General Lu been so distracted waiting for this Miss Xia's letter? It's not a major military matter. Who else would do this unless he has a girl he loves?"

"But General Lu obviously has a good reputation and status in the capital, why doesn't he bring Miss Xia here?"

A little soldier raised his doubts at the right time.

"How can mortals like us understand a god of war like General Lu? The general has his own plans. If his plans can be seen through so easily by you, then is he still a general?" The soldier who said this patted the soldier who asked the question heavily.

"You're right. Instead of guessing like this, why not take a gamble and see when General Lu will marry Miss Xia?"

"Aren't you deliberately trying to cheat us out of our money? If General Lu continues at this rate, Miss Xia will sooner or later be in his hands. There's no need to gamble at all!" One of the soldiers was dissatisfied and retorted immediately.

"Then what are you going to do?" The other soldier curled his lips instantly, spread his hands, and immediately put on an appearance of listening attentively.

"Since General Lu will definitely marry Miss Xia, why don't we make a bet on when General Lu will marry Miss Xia." One of the fat soldiers patted his chest, put his hands on his hips and shouted at the top of his voice.

"The winner will be between one year and one year later. It depends on which one you bet on. I bet on one year. Do you have any objections?"

There were only five or six soldiers in the tent, one of whom was guarding the entrance to keep watch. They had no better ideas, so they all agreed.

The fat soldier who had just proposed the idea pulled out a black purse from his belt and placed it on his left hand, then shouted to the soldier behind him, "This is a bet for one year from now at a 10-to-10 odds. The winner will be decided in one round. Come on if you want to buy it."

One of the skinny soldiers saw the fat soldier trying to open a casino in the barracks, so he immediately stopped him and said, "You forgot that gambling is not allowed in the barracks. If General Lu catches you, he will be punished by military law."

The fat soldier was feeling a little nervous at this time, and immediately lowered his voice and said, "We are betting secretly, not on a large scale. Only we know about this today, and you are not allowed to disclose it to others in the future, understand? When the time comes, we will all be punished by military punishment, so watch your mouths, and come quickly if you want to place a bet."

Life as a soldier is boring, and the monthly salary is not much, so it doesn't hurt to gamble once now.

However, gambling is prohibited in the military camp, and now there are only a few of them gambling, so it should be okay. Seeing that the fat soldier has already placed a bet, the others also put aside their concerns and started betting.

Lu Ziren is a well-known bachelor in the military camp.

Many people wanted to know when Lu Ziren would be able to get married. In fact, other tents in the military camp had also set up betting games to bet on when Lu Ziren would get married. However, Lu Ziren had been a single bachelor for so many years, and none of the people who set up the bets had any result.

The Emperor was somewhat anxious about Lu Ziren's marriage, and asked the Empress to find a suitable lady for him. However, Lu Ziren refused on the grounds that he had many military affairs to attend to and could not consider marriage for the time being.

For so many years, Lu Ziren has always seemed to be pure and aloof, and as if he is not concerned with worldly matters.

Now, General Lu finally came down to earth because of a girl named Xia.

They were also very excited, especially after knowing the inside story of this Miss Xia, which would allow them to make a small profit.

The first thing Lu Ziren did when he received the letter from Xia Yingying was to look at the envelope over and over in his hands.

The handwriting on the envelope was as stiff and rigid as a child's. There was no stroke and it didn't look good, but I knew that the strokes of the characters were correct.

Seeing these familiar words, Lu Ziren felt instantly relieved.

Lu Ziren recognized Xia Yingying's handwriting. Her calligraphy was soft and weak.

Lu Ziren took the letter he had been waiting for for a long time, took two steps at a time, secretly used Qinggong, and ran directly back to his tent. He also ordered the little soldier guarding the tent: "Don't disturb me no matter what happens later."

"Yes, General." The little soldier answered in an unusually loud voice.

The soldier had also been poisoned by Lu Ziren's emotions during this period. He also knew that Lu Ziren was waiting for a letter. Now seeing Lu Ziren holding a letter with a smile on his face, the soldier breathed a sigh of relief after Lu Ziren entered. Great! The dark clouds above his head were finally cleared by the sun.

Lu Ziren took the heavy envelope, sat at the table, and opened it slowly and solemnly.

The letter was not as long as he wrote, only three or four pages of short paper. Although Lu Ziren was a little unhappy, the distress of receiving the letter was enough to offset that unhappiness.

The letter written by Xia Yingying was not so flowery, and it was written in plain language. Lu Ziren read it with great interest, as if Xia Yingying was sitting next to him, telling Lu Ziren about every detail of their family's life in Qingshui County during this period. Xia Yingying wrote about daily life.

In the middle and at the end of the letter, there was special mention of the nobleman who came to the pastry shop to buy pastries, and a recipe from Yang's pastry shop.

When Lu Ziren saw Xia Yingying write the words "Graceful Young Master", he already knew who that young master was. He didn't expect that after he left, the Third Prince would still stay in Qingshui County. Thinking of the Third Prince's motives, Lu Ziren felt relieved. He silently made a note in his mind of what to write in his reply.

Lu Ziren eagerly read the letter sent by Xia Yingying word for word, over and over again.

"Someone, grind it for me..."

Before Lu Ziren could say anything, he took the initiative to come to the desk, sharpened the brush himself, sat at the desk, and meticulously wrote his reply to Xia Yingying on the letter paper.

"Yingying, I have received your letter. Seeing that you and the children are living happily, I am also very happy. I miss you every day. I even wish I could grow a pair of wings so that I can quickly return to Qingshui County to live with you.

Wait for me for a while, I will deal with the affairs in the capital and then send someone to pick you up. By the way, the young man you mentioned in the envelope is not a bad person. If you encounter any difficulties in Qingshui County, you can ask him for help. He is the younger brother of a friend of mine, and he will leave the county and come to the capital soon. I believe that by that time I will have dealt with all the affairs in the capital, and I will be able to take you back to the capital without distraction. If I don’t have time to pick you up, I will send a message to you and him, asking you to come to the capital together.

By the way, there are still many people in the capital who don’t know that I’m married and have children. When the time comes, I will hold a wedding for you and let you marry me again in glory. I was sorry for you and couldn’t give you the best during our wedding.

Four children in our family are far from enough. We hope to have two more. Would you be willing to have them?"

As Lu Ziren was writing the letter, he couldn't help but curl his lips. Thinking about having a real child with Xia Yingying, Lu Ziren smiled as if he was immersed in a blushing cloud. "Love is always there, can you vote for me?"
