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

"General Lu, who is that? My cousin is the current queen, and General Lu is just a small character who helps fight the war. Even if he is powerful, can he be more powerful than the queen and the prince?

I am a royal relative and cannot be scared by a small fry like you.

You look so cowardly, you must be here to scare me, but you are wrong, I won't fall for it.

Even if your general comes and knows my true identity, he will still have to kneel on the ground and lick my shoes!"

Sun Zhiping suddenly put on a fake smile, as if his fear just now was just a mockery of Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen did not expect that General Lu's title could scare away Sun Zhiping, but he really did not expect that Sun Zhiping was so arrogant.

How could they insult Lu Ziren like this? This is intolerable.

Zhao Wen picked up the dice on the table and threw it towards Sun Zhiping's mouth.

Sun Zhiping didn't know any martial arts to begin with, and was feeling very proud of himself. He never expected that Zhao Wen would throw a dice and hit him in the mouth, causing him to distort his face into a chrysanthemum shape due to the pain.

But he didn't have time to cover his mouth. Sun Zhiping felt a burning pain in his knee. He couldn't bear it any longer and fell to his knees. Sun Zhiping's arrogant smile froze in an instant as if he had eaten a piece of shit.

"You, what did you do to me? My backers are the current queen and the prince. You provoked me, aren't you afraid that your entire clan will be killed?" Sun Zhiping covered his painful spot and continued to speak in a bully-like manner.

Xia Yingying was waiting for news at home. After Zhao Wen and the others left, she had been paying attention to how long they had been away.

Now if we calculate the time, if everything goes well, they should come back, but they haven’t come back. Did something go wrong?

Xia Yingying began to feel uneasy.

Sitting in the house waiting for news is not Xia Yingying's usual style. She likes to take the initiative and take the initiative into her own hands. Regardless of success or failure, she always tries her best.

Xia Yingying handed over the shop owners Lu Yurou, Jingjing and Yaya to Song Ruyi, and went to the gambling house with Lu Haojie.

"Mom, I think something might have happened to my eldest brother. I'm going to go find some help first. Please take care of the business and the kids in the store."

Song Ruyi couldn't help but agree when she heard her say that. Xia Dawei and Xia Yingying were both her children, and she didn't want anything to happen to either of them. Although Song Ruyi didn't know how Xia Yingying could save Xia Dawei, she didn't want Xia Yingying to get into trouble because of Xia Dawei.

"Yingying, how can a weak woman like you save someone?"

"Mom, I'm going to the county government to report to the authorities and find helpers in the private school. Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'm going to take Haojie with me this time."

Xia Yingying brought Lu Haojie with her. She needed Lu Haojie to go to the private school to find Lu Haoran.

Xia Yingying believed that when Lu Ziren left, he must have told Lu Haoran something. Lu Ziren did not tell Xia Yingying those things, but only told Lu Haoran.

Xia Yingying didn't want to disturb Lu Haoran's studies, but there was really nothing she could do at the moment.

I don't quite trust County Magistrate Xia Yingying. Collusion between officials and businessmen has been a normal thing since ancient times.

The gambling house has been open for so long, and what happened to Xia Dawei must not be an isolated case. Xia Yingying would never believe that the government was blind and there was no one involved.

Xia Yingying still chose to go to the government to see their attitude and to have an idea of ​​what might happen next.

"Mom, you want to take me to the gambling house? But didn't you just tell me that you couldn't let me go?"

When Lu Haojie heard that Xia Yingying was willing to take him to find Zhao Wen and the others, the little flame in his heart suddenly grew stronger. But when he thought about how Xia Yingying had refused to take him at first, but suddenly wanted to take him now, he didn't quite understand why Xia Yingying had such a change of attitude.

"I won't take you to the gambling house. You will go to the private school to find your elder brother and tell him that something happened. Here, this is the money for you to take the bus. Find your elder brother and come to the government office with him to find me. Got it?"

"Okay, Mom, I got it. Let's go."

When Lu Haojie heard Xia Yingying say that something happened, he did not chase Xia Yingying to ask what happened, but nodded solemnly.

There are rickshaw drivers in the county town, but they are few and far between. Most people walk on their own, reluctant to spend the money.

Xia Yingying didn't know how much it cost per ride, and she had never ridden it before, so she grabbed a handful of copper coins and put them in Lu Haojie's chubby palm.

After Lu Haojie got on the car, Xia Yingying also found a car and went to the government office. As soon as Xia Yingying knocked on the drum outside the county government office and told the official her demands, the official really ignored her and even kindly advised Xia Yingying: "Young lady, if you don't want to get into more trouble, just take this loss and don't mess with the people in the gambling house again. It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I'm too low an official and can't do anything."

"But you are the county magistrate of this county. There is a clear sign hanging above your head. Isn't your main purpose to serve the people in justice?"

Xia Yingying asked unconvinced, but the county magistrate ignored her words and directly asked the yamen runners to drive Xia Yingying out. Although Xia Yingying was mentally prepared, she still felt uncomfortable meeting this county magistrate who didn't care about the matter. Now she could only count on Lu Haoran.

When Lu Ziren was leaving, he told Xia Yingying that if there was anything that couldn't be solved, she could tell Lu Haoran and ask him to help her solve it. Although Lu Ziren didn't completely confess what he could do to help them at that time, Xia Yingying already knew what he meant. It must be the connections that Lu Ziren kept here that could help him solve the crisis.

Since the problem cannot be solved through legitimate means, it can only be solved through other means. Xia Yingying does not want to be a scapegoat and bow to evil forces.

Because Xia Yingying was driven out so quickly, she waited at the gate of the government office for a while. Lu Haojie and Lu Haoran were still on the road in a gorgeous carriage.

Xia Yingying walked back and forth at the door, eagerly waiting for Lu Haoran, Lu Haojie and others, never thinking that they would be sitting in a luxurious carriage.

When Xia Yingying saw the luxurious carriage, she thought it was some nobleman traveling.

The carriage suddenly stopped in front of Xia Yingying, and the curtain was pulled open by a pair of hands, revealing Lu Haojie's childish little face and Lu Haoran's mature face.

Xia Yingying was shocked. She didn't expect that Lu Ziren's friend was so powerful and was actually a hidden boss.

Without some status and wealth, you definitely cannot use this carriage.

When Xia Yingying was guessing how old this man was, a face that Xia Yingying was very familiar with suddenly appeared behind Lu Haoran and Lu Haojie's heads.

That face can be recognized at a glance among so many people.

His skin was fairer than that of the average man, and the skin on his hands was also relatively smooth, except that there were thin calluses between the index and middle fingers of his outstretched right hand, probably from holding a pen.

His temperament is so outstanding. He has an elegance and ease that is different from ordinary people. This kind of temperament is rarely seen in ordinary people.

This person was none other than the nobleman who had come to Xia Yingying's shop every day to buy cakes since she opened the shop.

"You...why are you?" Xia Yingying shouted in surprise.

"Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry. When Ziren left, he asked me not to reveal my identity. Now that I know you are in trouble and need help, I came here with my two children. My last name is Huang, and my given name is Qining."

Xia Yingying greeted the third prince.

"Sister-in-law, please get on the carriage quickly. I will take you to the gambling house to see what happened." The third prince said to Xia Yingying.

"But is it really okay for just a few of us to go?"

Xia Yingying was not very reassured, mainly because although Mr. Huang looked quite impressive, there was a coachman and two children in the carriage, as well as a woman who was powerless, and a nobleman who was powerless. A team with zero combat effectiveness going to such a dangerous place, was it just to die?

"Sister-in-law, you can rest assured. I have sent people to the gambling house. They must have been handling it. By the time we get there, the matter should have been concluded." "Please give me votes"
