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

I feel full of sympathy for Xia Dawei and Xia Yingying.

So he said to Xia Yingying: "My girls, even if you have money, don't give it to your father. Your father doesn't treat money as money."

"Don't worry, Auntie. I have severed ties with him and I have no say in his affairs. It's just that he beat my elder brother today, so I came to take a look."

"A villain like this actually has a daughter as iconic as you."

"It's better to break off the relationship. Your father is really not a human being."

"Who said it wasn't true? He actually asked for a hundred taels of silver all at once for a month. It's not like he has a gold mine at home that can give him so much money. He just forced him into a desperate situation. Such people are not worthy of being someone's parents."

Xia Xinsen yelled a few words helplessly, but the crowd continued to talk.

Now he was thick-skinned anyway, and he didn't care at all about what others said. The gossips in the crowd were useful to him as a tool, and useless ones could be ignored.

"Xia Dawei, Xia Yingying, I'm your father. You must give me one hundred taels today, otherwise I won't leave today."

Xia Xinsen also knew that it would be very difficult for Xia Dawei or Xia Yingying's family to come up with one hundred taels of silver.

Even in Xia Xinsen's view, one hundred taels is a small amount of money.

One hundred taels of silver was a little difficult for Xia Yingying and Xia Dawei, but if the two of them pooled their money together, it would be more than enough to make up the full one hundred taels.

"No one is as pushy as you are. Didn't I tell you that you broke off relations with me with twenty taels of silver, and now you want to come after me again? You are just dreaming."

"Okay, I want to sever ties with you and Xia Dawei. Since you don't want to pay fifty taels, let your eldest brother pay the hundred taels. Anyway, I won't leave without a hundred taels today. Now I also know where you live, and I won't leave without a hundred taels. I will always face you and sleep in front of your house."

Xia Yingying couldn't help but roll her eyes. Xia Xinsen was really shameless to the extreme.

It's freezing cold now, so let him sleep if he wants, she doesn't care.

Whether he is sick or dead at that time, it will have nothing to do with her.

But since Xia Dawei had not severed his relationship with Xia Xinsen, he certainly could not let Xia Xinsen sleep naked on the street like this. If something happened, his son's future would be ruined. Xia Dawei is not the kind of person who only cares about himself.

But Xia Xinsen asked for too much in one breath. Even if he sold all the belongings in his house, he would not be able to get more than one hundred taels of silver.

Xia Yingying broke off her relationship with Xia Qingsen, so it was unrealistic to ask Xia Yingying to help him pay fifty taels of silver.

Besides, even if he could collect one hundred taels of silver to give to Xia Xinsen this time, where would he get the money to give to Xia Xinsen next time?

Xia Dawei knew very early that if he was pursued by Xia Xinsen, his life would be ruined. He deliberately concealed his hiding place just to avoid his peaceful life being disrupted by Xia Xinsen.

Now Xia Xinsen has clung to him, like a blood-sucking leech, eager to suck every bit of blood and flesh from his body.

He didn't know how to get rid of Xia Xinsen, the gambler.

He really wanted to break off relations with Xia Xinsen, but he knew it was impossible.

Oh my God, is this going to push him into a dead end?

Xia Dawei suddenly felt that his life was miserable and hopeless, so he decided to give up.

"You can do whatever you want. Anyway, I can only give you one or two taels of silver a month at most. You can take it or not. Even if you just went to the county government to report the case, I can only give you so much silver. You can't ask me to rob others' money to give it to you."

"You evil son, I will sue you in the government and bring disgrace upon you."

Xia Xinsen borrowed some money from a gambling house because after Xia Yingying broke off relations with him, the people in the gambling house knew that Xia Yingying's husband was of some importance and were afraid of having their lives and property implicated, so no one dared to lend money to Xia Xinsen.

During that time, Xia Xinsen could only hang out in private casinos outside. The amount of money he gambled was not large, and Xia Dawei sent him money every month.

Even if he gambled away some money and never got his money back, he could still win a little bit occasionally and keep gambling.

But this way, he would not be happy with the bet.

It was different when he came to Qingshui County. No one here knew his past. Even if he wanted to borrow money from a loan shark in a gambling house, there would be people willing to lend him the money. Xia Dawei's family was here, so his food and accommodation were all solved at once. It was extremely convenient.

But he had just arrived and was penniless. Even if he wanted to go to the gambling house, he had to have money. Besides, it was his first time there. If he didn't bring some money with him, he would have no chance of getting in, let alone borrowing from a loan shark.

He is not a registered resident of the county. In order to control risks, the gambling house generally does not lend high-interest loans to people who are not registered here and have just arrived here.

When Xia Yingying learned that Xia Xinsen had arrived, her first reaction was to prevent Xia Xinsen from entering the gambling house in his life, so that he would not use his money to gamble.

She also asked someone to help her tell the third prince her request.

Xia Yingying also believed that the Third Prince would do his best to help her.

"Go ahead. I'm not afraid. I don't believe the county magistrate here is a parent who can't tell right from wrong. Even if I go to the government, I can only give you one or two taels of silver. This is already my limit. Am I going to support you alone for the rest of my life and ignore my family?

One ounce of silver is enough for you to eat and drink. If you want more, you might as well sleep a little longer every day. As long as you dream, you will have everything in your dreams. "

Xia Dawei endured the pain in his body and angrily scolded Xia Xinsen, but he did not dare to go too far for fear of implicating Bai Qingmiao and his children.

Beijing, East Palace.

The prince sorted out the memorials he had read, approved all the matters he had the final say on, and sent the rest to the emperor.

"Someone, go and ask General Lu to come over. I have something to ask him." The prince waved his hand and called the eunuch over and gave the order.

"Yes." The young eunuch took his leave after receiving the order.

The prince has something to ask Lu Ziren.

Instead, the Crown Prince recently received a letter from the Third Prince, which described his gains in Qingshui County and mentioned Tang Qingye, Qin Qingfeng and Huang Yuejing.

Because it was a letter, the third prince did not dare to write too much details. He only mentioned it briefly, and still used the secret code that they had agreed upon between brothers.

Only Lu Ziren knew the specific information conveyed in the letter. If the prince wanted to know the specific situation in Qingshui County, he only needed to find Lu Ziren and ask him.

The only thing is that we have to find Lu Ziren openly. If we do it secretly, we will be caught by others.

After a while, Lu Ziren received the order and came to the East Palace.

Lu Ziren had some guesses as to why the prince wanted to see him, so he bowed respectfully to the prince as soon as he came in.

The eunuch who served him immediately brought tea. The prince helped Lu Ziren up and waved his hand for the eunuch to leave.

"I don't know why the prince wants to see me."

"General Lu, there is indeed something I don't understand. I hope General Lu can help me solve it." The prince said modestly.

Lu Ziren showed no emotion, but secretly cursed in his heart. It was definitely not an ordinary thing for someone who was born in the palace to ask a rough man like him for help. Matters related to the prince were nothing more than party struggles, so he would not get involved in such muddy waters.

"The prince is very intelligent. I haven't read many books, so I don't think I can help him."

The prince showed no dissatisfaction when he heard this. He smiled slightly and then spoke more firmly.

"Unfortunately, only General Lu can help me with this matter.

But the general didn't even listen to what was going on, and was so busy refusing. It seems like he really doesn't want to help me."

The prince said with great regret.

There was no dissatisfaction in the prince's tone, but his words were full of power.

Lu Ziren did not respond. Seeing that Lu Ziren was not listening, the prince continued to add: "This matter concerns the general's wife. General Lu, don't you want to know?"

Lu Ziren raised his head and looked at the prince with a gloomy face.

Lu Ziren looked at the prince like he was going to be questioned, but the prince responded to Lu Ziren kindly, "Don't worry, General Lu, the general's wife is fine."

"What are you going to do?" Lu Ziren tried his best to suppress his emotions that were about to overflow. "Please vote"
