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

After dinner, Xia Yingying returned to the room with Lu Ziren and Lu Yuwei. They were very happy and peaceful. They immediately brought water for Xia Yingying to wash. After Xia Yingying finished washing, she changed into light clothes.

Xia Yingying experienced being a special antique beauty today, but she couldn't take pictures.

Xia Yingying thought the whole set of jewelry was too heavy. Although it would look better if she wore all of them, Xia Yingying wanted something lighter, so she didn't wear too many hair accessories.

But carrying such a big mass on her head was indeed tiring for Xia Yingying.

Xia Yingying sat in front of the dressing table, and Ruyi immediately came over to help Xia Yingying take off the heavy headdress.

Seeing this, Lu Ziren immediately stepped forward to stop Ruyi from walking towards Xia Yingying. Ruyi knew that Lu Ziren had to take off Xia Yingying's hair himself, so she naturally did not dare to disturb the love between the lady and the general.

He did not go forward on his own initiative, but put all the tools in place and stood in the side room outside the door with Jixiang.

Lu Yurou was sitting on a small wooden bed that Lu Ziren had built for her. Above the bed were hung some cute wooden plaques of little animals. If she reached out and pulled them, she could hear the crisp sound of the wooden plaques crackling.

Xia Yingying was staring at the window while she was dressing, thinking about how to draw the sketch of her second-floor shop. She didn't look in the mirror, so naturally she didn't know that Lu Ziren was quietly walking towards her.

When a pair of hands gently removed the hairpins on her head one by one, Xia Yingying thought it was a good omen or a blessing. However, the hands seemed to be a little too strong, causing Xia Yingying to accidentally pull her hair. Xia Yingying's scalp ached, but she thought that if she screamed, it would scare the two innocent girls.

But if I don't tell them, they won't know how much strength to use and will definitely do it again next time.

So Xia Yingying said gently to the person behind her.

"Jixiang, please be gentler. You just pulled me."

After hearing what Xia Yingying said, Lu Ziren paused as he was undoing Xia Yingying's bun. Although he had tried to be as careful as possible, he still pulled Xia Yingying's hair.

In his opinion, Xia Yingying is now a delicate porcelain doll who needs to be well cared for. However, he was used to being rough with her and ended up pulling Xia Yingying's hair.

Lu Ziren immediately apologized to Xia Yingying in a humbly manner.

"Yingying, I'm really sorry. I accidentally pulled you just now. I will be more careful next time."

Lu Ziren's voice came from above Xia Yingying's head, and Xia Yingying was stunned.

Wasn't it Jixiang who was behind her helping her take off the hair accessories? How did it suddenly become Lu Ziren? Xia Yingying immediately turned her head to Lu Ziren. When Lu Ziren saw Xia Yingying turning her head, he quickly let go of Xia Yingying's hair accessories.

The plum blossom hairpin was pulled off by Lu Ziren and fell to the ground.

"Why are you here?" Xia Yingying raised her eyebrows.

When Lu Ziren saw Xia Yingying's expression, he suddenly felt like something was blocking his heart and he felt uncomfortable.

Why not him? He is Xia Yingying's husband.

Lu Ziren was behind Xia Yingying and could just see Xia Yingying's expression from the dressing mirror in front of her.

Lu Ziren thought Xia Yingying didn't welcome him, and was afraid of causing Xia Yingying's disgust again: "Yingying, I'm sorry for what I did just now. Let Jixiang come. She is more suitable than me."

Seeing Lu Ziren like this, Xia Yingying realized that she had overreacted and hurt Lu Ziren's "young" heart.

Xia Yingying moved her lips and made her voice gentle: "I, I don't mean that."

Xia Yingying herself felt that her explanation was too simple.

Xia Yingying immediately added softly, "Help me, be gentle."

"Okay." Lu Ziren said in a hoarse voice.

After getting Xia Yingying's approval, Lu Ziren walked forward and helped Xia Yingying take off her hair accessories.

Just now, Lu Ziren had torn Xia Yingying's scalp. Now, when Lu Ziren took off Xia Yingying's hair bun and hair accessories, he was very careful as if he was taking apart some particularly sophisticated instrument.

Xia Yingying saw through the bronze mirror that Lu Ziren was meticulous and cautious, like a thief. She felt a little sympathetic towards Lu Ziren, but also found his expression funny.

Xia Yingying curved her eyebrows, curled the corners of her mouth and couldn't help but chuckle.

When Lu Ziren heard Xia Yingying's gentle laughter, it was like a peach falling on his heart, making him feel itchy.

While Lu Ziren was distracted, he did not dare to relax his actions at all, for fear of causing great pain to Xia Yingying because of his mistakes again.

Seeing that Lu Ziren looked extremely nervous, as if facing a formidable enemy, Xia Yingying couldn't help but want to divert Xia Yingying's attention.

The decoration of the pastry shop on the second floor has not been finalized yet. I can discuss it with Lu Ziren now.

Xia Yingying was just a commoner in modern times, and she was also a commoner when she came to ancient times. She had never seen or been to high-end stores in ancient times, so naturally she didn't know how to design the decoration of the store on the second floor.

So Xia Yingying decided to ask Lu Ziren.

"Lu Ziren, please tell me what special ideas you have for the design of the high-end store on the second floor. I have no idea at the moment, so I can only rely on you."

Lu Ziren seldom goes to such high-end places.

He basically didn't attend any social events. Every time he drank with his comrades in the barracks, they would go to a similar restaurant. He didn't care how the other people's shops were decorated.

Lu Ziren knew that Xia Yingying really wanted to help her settle the store, so he immediately comforted Xia Yingying:

"I know someone who can definitely help you with this matter." Lu Ziren deliberately kept the secret.

"Who is it?" Xia Yingying took the bait and asked Lu Ziren curiously.

Lu Ziren took out another jade hairpin and put it in the jewelry box.

"Guess, he's a relative of someone you know." Lu Ziren was reluctant to reveal the answer now.

Xia Yingying subconsciously guessed and only knew one person who fit the description, and that was the third prince in the palace.

"But the one in the palace?" Xia Yingying asked Lu Ziren with a raised eyebrow.

Because the only people Xia Yingying knew were her neighbors in the countryside, those who worked in the Qingshui Town store, and her own relatives, and she didn't know anyone else.

Only the Third Prince and Jingjing have the possibility of returning to the capital.

Jingjing is a little kid and definitely knows nothing about decoration, so Xia Yingying ruled her out immediately.

Only the princes in the palace were left.

"No." Lu Ziren still shook his head.

No, that's impossible. It can't be the children in the family. The original book doesn't mention that they have any skills related to decoration.

So, who was Lu Ziren talking about? Xia Yingying was confused.

"Just tell me directly. I won't guess anymore. I can't guess it." Xia Yingying simply said to Lu Ziren.

"You already have the answer, don't you?" Lu Ziren firmly believed that Xia Yingying knew it, but was excluded by Xia Yingying at the beginning.

she knows?

Could it be Jingjing?

Xia Yingying was stunned, her eyebrows trembling in surprise. It was so exciting! Jingjing was actually a decoration genius, how come she had never discovered it? But it wasn't her fault that she didn't discover it, it was because Jingjing had never shown it. Even if she wanted to know, there was nothing she could do.

"Jingjing, Lu Ziren, tell me, how can she know the decoration of high-end stores? She is about the same age as Haojie, and she can't even recognize a few words. What's going on?"

Xia Yingying asked questions one after another, and spoke wittily.

When Lu Ziren heard the answer, he was completely dumbfounded. Jingjing? !

However, this is indeed very close to the answer.
