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

"Madam, there is a hot spring in the mansion. I wonder if you would like to take a bath in it." Jixiang said respectfully to Xia Yingying.

"Hot spring?!" Xia Yingying was stunned. Considering Lu Ziren's current status and position, it was no big deal for him to have a hot spring at home.

"Yes, ma'am, hot spring." Jixiang thought Xia Yingying didn't hear clearly, so he said it again.

"Soak." Xia Yingying said firmly.

Although taking a bath in a bathtub is very good, Xia Yingying would of course prefer a hot spring to a tub.

"Take me there." Xia Yingying said softly.

"Yes, ma'am." Jixiang stepped forward to lead the way.

Xia Yingying, wearing wooden clogs and holding Lu Yurou, followed Jixiang Ruyi to a door in the side yard next to the room. They pushed open the wooden door and walked inside, where there was a hot spring with steaming hot water.

Billowing hot air came out continuously.

Maybe it’s because the temperature in the yard is higher than other places, and there are flowers and green plants near the pond that can only be seen in other seasons.

"Jixiang, do you know whether this hot spring is naturally generated or created?"

When Jixiang came to the mansion, he heard Steward Lin mention the hot springs in the mansion when he was introducing the mansion's affairs.

The predecessor of General Lu's Mansion was a marquis whose property was confiscated. He loved to enjoy life, and after the fall of the previous dynasty, when the emperor gave him rewards, the marquis specifically asked for this house.

Later, the marquis committed a serious crime and his entire family was executed. The house was then given to Lu Ziren by the emperor.

It is said that this pond was a place for the marquis and the various beauties he kept in the mansion to have fun, but after Lu Ziren moved in, the mansion was completely renovated and the water in the pond is no longer the same as it was at that time.

Of course, Jixiang did not tell anyone about the dirty things he heard, but only said nice things.

"I heard that this hot spring can beautify the skin, relieve fatigue, detoxify and promote urination, and remove moisture and lose weight. But General Lu thinks that hot springs are depraved. Even though General Lu's bedroom is not far from the hot spring, he still only cleans himself in the bathroom. Now that he has a wife, this hot spring can finally be put to good use."

Most of these words were said by Mr. Lin, and Jixiang was just repeating them.

"Oh." The hot spring does have the effects that Jixiang said.

When Xia Yingying heard the word "hot spring", she thought the hot springs here were developed by themselves, but she didn't expect that they were natural.

This day is just like a fairy tale.

Xia Yingying carried Lu Yurou to the spring.

Xia Yingying put Lu Yurou on the steps and let Jixiang hug her. Xia Yingying took off her outer clothes layer by layer, leaving only a thin top and underwear. She sat on the steps of the hot spring, helped Lu Yurou take off her outer clothes, and hugged Lu Yurou to sit on her lap. She held Lu Yuwei's arms with both hands and let her play in the water by herself.

"It's fun." Lu Yurou splashed the water with a smile on her face, having a lot of fun. The water splashed on Xia Yingying's body. Xia Yingying scooped up the water beside her and poured it on Lu Yurou.

Xia Yingying is a landlubber and she can't swim, so she had to sit obediently on the steps of the hot spring and watch over Lu Yurou.

Lu Yurou darted back and forth in the area Xia Yingying had circled for her like a white, nimble little fish.

Xia Yingying was afraid that Lu Yurou would choke on the hot spring water if she played without restraint, so she stood up, held her up with her hands, and let her flutter around. But she didn't expect that Lu Yurou actually learned how to swim while fluttering around, and Xia Yingying was stunned.

Xia Yingying tried to let Lu Yurou go and let her swim by herself, but unexpectedly, as soon as Xia Yingying let go, she saw Lu Yurou swimming happily in the water using the doggy paddle posture, as agile as a fish made of white clouds.

One cannot soak in the hot spring for too long, and Jixiang Ruyi was very considerate and brought Xia Yingying some thirst-quenching fruit wine and Lu Yurou some delicious goat milk.

The alcohol content of the wine was not high, and it had a light flavor of green plum, which was fresh and delicious. It tasted great, and Xia Yingying couldn't help but drink the whole bottle. Xia Yingying didn't drink much, so she burped and stopped drinking.

Ruyi smelled alcohol on Xia Yingying and was worried about Lu Yurou's safety, so she followed Lu Yurou all the time, paying attention to the conditions of Xia Yingying and Lu Yurou at all times. Fortunately, nothing bad happened throughout the day.

Xia Yingying soaked in the water for a while and felt that it was about time so she stood up and wanted to take Lu Yurou away with her. However, Lu Yurou swam back and forth in the water, still not wanting to leave.

"Mom, play again." Lu Yurou pouted her lips and acted coquettishly towards Xia Yingying with a pitiful face.

Seeing how pitiful Lu Yurou looked, Xia Yingying couldn't bear to refuse her, so she had to let Lu Yurou play in the pool for a while longer.

Xia Yingying naturally stood by and felt a little dizzy.

Lu Ziren knew that Xia Yingying wanted to take a shower, but she was shy and didn't want to do it in front of him, so Lu Ziren didn't go back to the room with Xia Yingying. Instead, he went to the study to deal with the official business that he had not had time to deal with during this period.

Lu Ziren returned to the room knowing that Xia Yingying's hot spring bathing time had passed. He did not see Xia Yingying and Lu Yurou in the room, but heard Lu Yurou and Xia Ying's cheerful laughter and the sound of splashing water coming from not far away.

Listening to Xia Yingying's joyful voice, Lu Ziren couldn't help but clenched his fists and hammered his legs. He sat on the stool in the room with a slight smile on his lips.

It’s great to have a wife.

Now his life finally has some life in it. His days are no longer filled with fighting and killing, like a living corpse.

Although Xia Yingying is not so willing to accept him at the moment, Lu Ziren believes that as long as he keeps working hard, Xia Yingying will be happily together with him sooner or later.

However, Lu Ziren was a martial arts expert and had excellent hearing, so he could clearly hear the sound of water splashing on Xia Yingying.

He sat on the stool, his mouth suddenly dry. He drank the full pot of tea on the table, and still felt hot inside.

And Xia Yingying saw that Lu Yurou had almost finished playing. Lu Yurou's face became very rosy from soaking in the hot water, and her skin had already shown signs of wrinkling in the water. So Xia Yingying took Lu Yurou away. But Lu Yurou was having so much fun playing in the water that how could she do as Xia Yingying wished?

"Mom, I'm not going." Lu Yurou pouted her chubby little lips and rejected Xia Yingying with an unhappy look on her face.

"Arou has been soaking in the hot spring for so long today. We can't soak in it all the time. If we soak for too long, our skin will be wrinkled and won't look good tomorrow. Can we wait until next time to soak?"

Xia Yingying was discussing with Lu Yurou. Lu Yurou was unhappy at first when she heard that she was going to leave. After hearing what Xia Yingying said, she stretched out her hands in confusion and looked left and right. She saw that her white and chubby little hands had indeed become wrinkled, her mouth was sunken, and her face was full of grievance when she opened her mouth. Seeing that she was finally obedient, Xia Yingying opened her arms and picked up Lu Yurou.

Although Lu Yurou is small, she loves beauty very much. One of Song Ruyi's secrets to coax her is to put a mirror in front of Lu Yurou when she cries, and let her cry while looking at the mirror. In this way, as long as Lu Yurou sees the little fat boy in the mirror crying with his mouth open, she will immediately put away her ugly expression for the sake of her own image.

Now Xia Yingying also used the excuse of beauty to appease Lu Yurou, and Lu Yurou naturally agreed in order to avoid becoming an ugly, wrinkled little fat boy tomorrow. "Please vote"
