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

"Ziren, why don't you teach me how to ride a horse?"

Xia Yingying was in a very happy mood riding on the horse.

She loves riding horses and wants to ride them herself.

As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

This way, even if Lu Ziren is not by her side in the future, she will not have to choose the transportation on the list and give up the right to choose. She can only sit in the carriage and feel dizzy.

After hearing what Xia Yingying said, Lu Ziren's body stiffened slightly.

Why, is Xia Yingying unhappy riding with him? Why did Xia Yingying make such an "out-of-the-ordinary" request?

Lu Ziren was a straightforward man. Now that he was sure that Xia Yingying had feelings for him, he couldn't help but ask.

"Yingying, did I make you feel uneasy when you were riding a horse?"

"No. I was thinking that when you're not around, I'll be sick when I go out by myself in a carriage, so it's better for you to teach me how to ride. Once I learn how to ride, I can travel on horseback in the future."

"I can accompany you in the future..." Lu Ziren fell silent before he could even say the word "go out". What Xia Yingying said did make sense, and Xia Yingying was not a flower that needed careful care.

He and Xia Yingying each have their own things to do, and Lu Ziren cannot guarantee that he will be by Xia Yingying's side every day of the year.

Besides, Xia Yingying was so carsick this time. If he hadn't come and taken her on horseback, she might be even more uncomfortable now. It is not ruled out that Xia Yingying will need to travel far in the future, and he also has his own things to do...

"Okay." Lu Ziren raised his eyebrows and finally nodded in agreement.

When Xia Yingying saw Lu Ziren hesitating, she felt a little worried. She was afraid that Lu Ziren would be like other men and think that women should stay in the room and embroider and do housework. And that riding a horse was only a man's job and it was not their turn.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ziren agreed

Xia Yingying was in a good mood. She couldn't help but put her hands on Lu Ziren's big hands holding the reins, gently massaging Lu Ziren's fingers and knuckles.

Although Xia Yingying's hands had also been used for rough work, overall they were much softer and more delicate than Lu Ziren's. Her hands were a little cool, and when they were held on the backs of Lu Ziren's hot and rough hands, Lu Ziren couldn't help but feel his heart swaying slowly when Xia Yingying held them.

"Ziren, thank you, thank you for not confining me to the house like other women."

For this, Xia Yingying sincerely expressed her gratitude to Lu Ziren.

Lu Ziren actually wanted Xia Yingying not to work so hard. He could obviously earn money to support the family, but Xia Yingying was a woman with her own ideas. If she was confined in the house, she might wither like a flower in winter and lose her vitality.

"I should thank you. Thank you for letting me feel the warmth of family."

Lu Ziren immediately grabbed Xia Yingying's hand with his backhand, and then held Xia Yingying's hand tightly on the reins.

Lu Ziren didn't want to let his heart be immersed in this emotion, so he immediately changed the subject.

"Hold the reins like this. Turn your hand around and hold the reins tightly in your palm. This way, if the horse gets scared, you won't be easily thrown off the reins."

Xia Yingying waited for Lu Ziren to loosen the reins, and then she followed Lu Ziren's instructions and repeated them.

Xia Yingying has a strong memory and learning ability, and has completely mastered the method that Lu Ziren taught her to hold the reins and drive the horse.

"You don't have to be so nervous. I want to try it myself." Xia Yingying said to Lu Ziren.

Lu Ziren held her tightly all the time, as if he were taking care of a fragile vase, and Xia Yingying felt a little uncomfortable.

Lu Ziren originally wanted to take this opportunity to interact more with Xia Yingying, but he was afraid that he would be too blatant and make Xia Yingying feel disgusted.

But Lu Ziren didn't dare to agree to Xia Yingying's request.

This horse is Lu Ziren's mount. Now that Lu Ziren is on the horse's back, the horse will of course be obedient.

If Xia Yingying wants to go horseback riding on a date, we have to find a horse that belongs to her and let her ride it.

Xia Yingying's request is reasonable, but now is not a good time.

I can only go to the capital to find a suitable horse for Xia Yingying.

But the best horses in the capital are the imperial horses in the palace.

Only the royal family has imperial horses, and good horses on the market are hard to come by even if you are worth a fortune. He has to find a way to get the emperor's reward, Lu Ziren thought to himself.

"Yingying, this horse has a fierce temper. It doesn't dare to do anything wrong unless I'm around, so I can't let you sit on its back alone.

Please forgive me. When we return to the capital, I will find you a good horse and let you run freely in the stable. Is that okay with you?"

Lu Ziren apologized to Xia Yingying.

Seeing Lu Ziren say this, how could Xia Yingying disagree? Although learning from horses is important, life and health are more important. Xia Yingying is not that kind of fool.

For the sake of momentary pleasure, he threw his life and property behind his back.

After riding for a long time, it was almost time for lunch. They had not yet reached the nearby town and were still in the deep mountains and forests. They could only stop to rest nearby, take out a pile of firewood from their luggage, light it, and put the food box on it to heat it up.

Everyone had steamed buns with a meat dish and two vegetable dishes. Xia Yingying also had beef jerky and pork jerky.

In order to make everyone enjoy the meal, Xia Yingying generously took it out and shared it with everyone.

When Lu Ziren saw the beef jerky and pork jerky Xia Yingying brought, he said to her unhappily, "Why did you share these two foods with others? Didn't you make them specially for me?"

When Xia Yingying heard Lu Ziren say this, she was stunned for a moment, then she thought that Lu Ziren was jealous and her face turned red instantly. The last time she made beef jerky was a long time ago, she didn't expect that Lu Ziren already had this idea at that time?

“I saw that everyone wasn’t eating well, so I brought it out to satisfy your hunger.

I was able to return to Beijing this time thanks to their help. Let's share good things.

How about this, if you like beef jerky and pork jerky, when I meet someone selling beef after returning to Beijing, I can make more for you so you can take it with you to eat when you go on duty, okay?"

Xia Yingying looked at Lu Ziren with a sweet smile on her lips, then patted Lu Ziren's broad palm to comfort him.

"Okay, but you don't have to do a lot. I'll feel bad if you work so hard." Lu Ziren said to Xia Yingying, holding Xia Yingying's hand tightly.

When the person who served the food brought the steamed buns and side dishes to Xia Yingying, he divided them into three portions for Xia Yingying and Lu Ziren. Because Lu Ziren was a man, a man was required to take a larger portion than the average person when it came to side dishes.

Xia Yingying was not very hungry today. She ate a steamed bun and some vegetables and meat. The rest was taken care of by Lu Ziren. After the meal, everyone took a break for a cup of tea and then set off again.

Xia Yingying still spent the whole afternoon on horseback, but this time Lu Ziren did not sit behind her. Instead, he walked forward holding the horse's hand, looking like the groom beside Xia Yingying.

Lu Ziren walked and calmed the horse down. Because of Lu Ziren's presence, the horse did not become angry and did not drop Xia Yingying.

Xia Yingying also practiced a series of techniques on horseback, such as holding the reins and making the horse walk quickly.

When Lu Yurou woke up in the morning, she saw that her mother had been taken away by Lu Ziren.

She didn't see Xia Yingying while eating, but at that time, she was hungry and busy eating, so she didn't have the energy to think about looking for Xia Yingying.

Now Lu Yurou was no longer hungry and her mind was very clear. Seeing that Xia Yingying was not there, she immediately burst into tears in the carriage.

She cried and called out, "Mom, I want mom." "Please vote"
