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

Lu Ziren thought about it and it was true. He thought that when Xia Yingying came, he could show off. His anger subsided and his voice was calmer than before, "You can go down."

"Yes," upon seeing this, Deputy General Wang dared not stay any longer and left immediately, but he did not dare to show off in front of Lu Ziren.

Lu Ziren held the letter in his hand and stared at it in astonishment. He missed Xia Yingying so much...

I also miss the delicious food she made...

Lu Ziren's heart was filled with emotions. He took a pen and paper and immediately wrote a letter, in which he hinted to Xia Yingying that the food in the capital was not particularly good and he missed the meals Xia Yingying cooked. It would be nice if she could make some of the snacks she made last time.

After writing the letter, Lu Ziren went to the post station in person to send it out.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and every household wore cotton-padded clothes. Zhao Wen, Zhao De, Huang Diao, Yang Liuxu and Yaya's cotton-padded clothes were already very worn out. Xia Yingying specially bought cotton and cloth and asked Song Ruyi to make a few cotton-padded clothes for them.

At first, Yang Liuxu and Zhao Wen and the others were embarrassed, but when they saw that everyone had them, they felt warmed after putting them on.

On this day, Xia Yingying and Yang Liuxu had just opened the door of the pastry shop when a little girl with messy hair came to the door. Xia Yingying looked closely and found that it was Bai Qingmiao's daughter Xia Xiaohua.

Xia Xiaohua's eyes were red and her expression was pitiful, like a pitiful little mouse.

Xia Xiaohua saw the shop door open and asked Xia Yingying for help in a weak voice.

"Aunt, something happened to me today, please go and help my father and mother."

Xia Yingying was stunned. Could it be about gambling again?

Xia Dawei has no gambling habit. What happened to him this time?

"What happened?" Xia Yingying asked hurriedly.

Xia Xiaohua cried as she spoke, and her eyes were swollen like quail eggs.

After hearing what Xia Xiaohua said, Xia Yingying immediately understood that it must be Xia Xinsen who came to ask for money because Xia Dawei did not send him money.

But Xia Xinsen is really a capable man. Just to gamble, he traveled thousands of miles across mountains and rivers and came all the way to Qingshui County.

It was relatively easy for Xia Yingying to break up with Xia Xinsen, but it was very difficult for Xia Dawei.

It is normal for Xia Dawei to be controlled by Xia Xinsen, otherwise Xia Dawei would not have resorted to loan sharking under the shadow of Xia Xinsen.

The laws of the previous dynasty recorded that if a relationship was to be severed, the father could only sever the relationship with his son if he took the initiative. If the son proposed to sever the relationship with his father, he would be sentenced to death at the most serious level and exiled to the border at the least. There was no reason at all.

Xia Xinsen, the gambler, is clinging to Xia Dawei like a blood-sucking worm, so Xia Dawei must be in a difficult situation.

Xia Xinsen is not a fool, and he will not voluntarily give up Xia Dawei, the evergreen cash cow.

Xia Yingying was very worried about how to resolve the issue between Xia Dawei and Xia Xinsen.

Having such a gambler father, Xia Dawei and the original owner were really unlucky.

As the saying goes, money can solve all problems, but Xia Xinsen's problem cannot be solved with money. He has to keep adding money to his hole. Even if he is rich, the wealth of a national treasury is not enough for Xia Xinsen to squander.

Xia Dawei and she are not Xia Xinsen's money-making slaves or tools.

Although she hasn't thought of a solution yet, Xia Yingying still needs the third prince's help with something.

Xia Yingying didn't know how long Xia Xinsen had been there, or whether he had borrowed high-interest loans from the gambling house. The most urgent task now was to resolve the issue of the gambling house, so that even if Xia Xinsen wanted to gamble, there would be no place to accept him, and he would not be able to gamble.

Xia Yingying thought of a person who could help her achieve this effect, and that was Mr. Huang who had been coming to her house for dinner these days.

Young Master Huang is either rich or noble. He is close to Tang Qingye and is also good friends with Lu Ziren. It would be easy for him to just give a heads up to the government and ask the gambling house to ban Xia Xinsen from going to the casino.

This matter was urgent, and Xia Yingying didn't want to wait until lunch to talk to the Third Prince, so she asked Zhao De to go to the academy to talk to the Third Prince about this matter.

The Third Prince did not have any particularly urgent matters to deal with in the academy, so as soon as Zhao De mentioned Xia Yingying's request, the Third Prince sent someone to do it.

Xia Dawei's place was a mess, and Xia Yingying was afraid that Xia Xinsen would hurt her, so she took Zhao Wen with her. If any physical contact happened, Zhao Wen would protect her. Besides, having Zhao Wen by her side would also serve as a deterrent, so Xia Xinsen didn't dare to do anything out of line.

"Brother Zhao Wen, I have something to trouble you to come with me."

Zhao Wen: "Sister-in-law, if you have anything, just tell us."

"I wonder if Brother Zhao Wen can come with me to my eldest brother's house. Something happened at his house and I need to take care of it."

When Lu Haoran and Lu Haojie heard that Xia Yingying had to go out for something, they knew that something big had happened. Although Lu Haoran and Lu Haojie were still young, they were determined to go with Xia Yingying without hesitation, for fear that something might happen to her.

"Mom, I want to go too." Lu Haoran stood up.

"I'll go too." Lu Haojie also stood up.

"Be good and stay at home. It's nothing serious. It's just that Xia Xinsen is here and I have to go meet him. I will have someone notify you if anything happens. Don't worry." Xia Yingying saw her family.

"Mom, I'll go with you. If you need to run errands, I can help." Lu Haoran took the initiative to say.

Xia Yingying thought about it and did not refuse Lu Haoran's request, "Okay, then you come with me."

"Mom, if big brother wants to go, then I want to go too." Lu Haojie shouted in dissatisfaction. They were both little men, so why did mom take big brother with her and leave him at home? He was not convinced. Although he was younger than big brother, he had three masters teaching him martial arts. Even if he competed with big brother, they could tie. It would be very useful for him to go, okay?

Seeing Lu Haojie's indignant look, Xia Yingying also knew that Lu Haojie just wanted to help and would not cause trouble. It was okay to take the child with him, as he could just help take care of Xia Xiaohua.

"Okay, you follow too, but you have to follow your eldest brother and don't act impulsively." Xia Yingying instructed.

"Mom, don't worry, I know." When Lu Haojie saw that Xia Yingying agreed to let him go, he immediately smiled with satisfaction.

Xia Yingying took Lu Haojie, Lu Haoran, Zhao Wen, and Xia Xiaohua to Xia Dawei's house. Xia Xiaohua was young and her legs were not very fast at sprinting. She had already used up most of her strength when she came to see Xia Yingying before, and now she was just holding on with one breath. Zhao Wen saw this and hugged Xia Xiaohua in his arms and followed Xia Yingying with big strides.

As Xia Yingying walked into the street where Xia Dawei was, many people had already gathered on the street to watch the excitement, and heated discussions could be heard everywhere.

"Oh my god, this is too cruel. This father is not a human being. He beat his son like that."

"That's not true. It looked like he was going to beat my son to death. But this guy is such a coward. He didn't resist at all even when they beat him. What a coward."

"Yeah, if it were me, I would definitely resist. I wouldn't be as cowardly as him, letting others beat him up. He almost died, but he didn't move a muscle."

"It's easy for you to say that. In Daliang, if a son hits his father, the government will severely sentence the son for disobeying his father and being unfilial to his parents. By then, he will not even have his life, so how can he have a chance to save his wife and children?"

"So tragic?" Another person was stunned in disbelief.

"Why else would he be like a piece of wood and not move? He is not a wooden stake." "Please give me votes"
