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

Xia Yingying didn't say anything, she lowered her head.

Lu Ziren thought that Xia Yingying wanted to confess to Song Ruyi that she was not Song Ruyi's biological daughter.

Lu Ziren thought about it and immediately said to Xia Yingying.

"You don't need to have such a heavy psychological burden. The old Xia Yingying is no longer here. You are the Xia Yingying who was reborn after Nirvana. The old Xia Yingying was hated by everyone. Even Song Ruyi would not help her.

Song Ruyi already treats you as her own daughter. She has had a hard enough life in the first half of her life, and now she finally has a little happiness in her life. Do you want to destroy all her hopes of living?

If you confess to Song Ruyi, it will only cause great harm to her and will not bring her happiness. It is true that this will relieve your psychological burden, but Yingying, have you ever thought about what Song Ruyi will do after she finds out?

She will definitely be sad, and your relationship will never be the same as before, so you might as well just stick with it. Sometimes a white lie is more important than the truth.

This is the best choice for both you and Song Ruyi."

What Lu Ziren said makes sense.

But Xia Yingying had never thought about confessing to Song Ruyi. This idea had already been dispelled.

What does Lu Ziren mean now? Does he care about her?

"Don't worry, I haven't thought about confessing to my mother. Let's leave it at that."

Xia Yingying never wanted Lu Ziren to expose the secret concerning her life.

Even though she knew that Lu Ziren liked her, she was still worried. What if her relationship with Lu Ziren broke down? Lu Ziren made all her secrets public in order to retaliate against her. What would she do then?

It is the most foolish thing to put your destiny in the hands of others. Xia Yingying doesn't want to be in such a passive position.

"I, I'm still worried." Xia Yingying said.

Lu Ziren knew what Xia Yingying was worried about, so he stepped forward and whispered something into Xia Yingying's ear.

Xia Yingying's eyes widened.

What Lu Ziren said was something that, if made public, would be enough to have the family destroyed.

Lu Ziren told her just like that, and Xia Yingying was so shocked that she couldn't express it in words.

"I know your secret, and you know my secret. Now we have something on each other. You can rest assured now," said Lu Ziren.

Xia Yingying nodded woodenly. She was really shocked in her heart, but to another extent, she was also completely relieved.

Lu Ziren has already handed her the fatal handle.

The residence of the Sixth Prince.

An old man with gray hair and a long beard sat in the upper seat, and sitting in the honored position was a young man wearing a golden crown and a dragon robe. He looked four points similar to the third prince, but his eyebrows and eyes were not as delicate as those of the third prince.

"Your Highness, the spy lurking in Lu Ziren's mansion sent a message that today Lu Ziren's wife, Xia, visited Huang Zhengming's wife, Wang. The two had a long conversation in the garden. Xia also handed a piece of paper to Wang, but he was far away and couldn't see or hear clearly.

Lu Ziren has secretly colluded with the third prince and has been on the side of the prince's party. Now that the prince's party has Lu Ziren, it is like a tiger with wings. In the past few days in the court, the prince's back is obviously much straighter than before.

Now Huang Zhengming is in contact with Lu Ziren's people again. Does this mean that the two of them have officially formed an alliance?

Although the letter sent by Wang said that Xia Yingying came for the store renovation, but even if she went there for the renovation, was there any need to rush there in such a hurry? It would be a real ghost if there was no ghost.

Because of Lu Ziren's defection, many members of the Sixth Prince's faction have now quietly defected to the Crown Prince. The Sixth Prince was very anxious, so he asked his father-in-law, Lord Ding'an, to discuss countermeasures.

"Father-in-law, now that Huang Zhengming and Lu Ziren have both joined the Crown Prince's sect, do we have to make some drastic moves?" The Sixth Prince was anxious and just wanted to resolve the matter quickly.

"Your Highness, do you have any good ideas?" asked Duke Ding'an.

"Father-in-law, I want to use the same strategy that King Kang used before and wipe out Lu Ziren at once. This way, the ministers in the court will know who is the real ruler of the world."

When the Sixth Prince said this, his face was ferocious and his anger was rising. He looked like a demon with bared fangs and claws.

The Sixth Prince immediately reached out and gently stroked his neck as he spoke.

"Don't worry yet. We still have leverage over them. We can't tear our faces off with them unless it's absolutely necessary. His Majesty the King of Kang must have known something before, but he didn't plead for the King of Kang. Do you know what this means?"

"It's because father wants to overthrow Prince Kang. Father hates that Prince Kang's reputation overshadows his." said the Sixth Prince.

"Your Highness is absolutely right. If His Majesty the Emperor wanted Prince Kang to live, other ministers would not have the chance to submit memorials to His Majesty. But Lu Ziren is different. The Northern Border is adjacent to the northern barbarians, and Lu Ziren has always remained neutral. He has not made any moves to take sides. Now there is no capable assistant to take over the Northern Border. If the Emperor wants to make things difficult for Lu Ziren, then the people of the world will be embarrassed. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not target Lu Ziren." Lord Ding'an said truthfully.

The Sixth Prince broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. He didn't expect that there were so many tricks involved.

"Yes, father-in-law." The Sixth Prince did not give up the idea of ​​taking action against Lu Ziren.

"Is there any other news that needs to be reported?" the Sixth Prince asked his men.

"Your Highness, Lu Ziren's wife Xia wants to open a pastry shop. I don't know if this shop is really used to sell pastries, or if they use it to gather information."

"Then you should keep a close watch and report immediately if there is any movement."

The ones speaking were the Sixth Prince and his father-in-law.

The Sixth Prince's father-in-law, Lord Ding'an, was also a man who had made great contributions on the battlefield before. However, ever since he married his daughter to the Sixth Prince, his family became involved in the fight for the throne.

Originally, Lord Ding'an's family had a good reputation and was praised by everyone in the capital.

But ever since they participated in the fight for the throne, they have done a lot of dirty things behind the scenes, and now their reputation has been ruined.

However, because of the existence of the Sixth Prince, the largest protection network, they still stayed in the capital in wealth and prosperity.

As Duke Ding'an and the Sixth Prince looked at each other, the once sensational incident of the execution of Prince Kang's entire family was still a shadow hanging over everyone in the capital.

But no one expected that the masterminds behind the scenes were the Sixth Prince and Duke Ding'an.

They eat up salaries, plunder people's wealth, fill their own pockets, and do all kinds of immoral and unscrupulous things.

There are already many people in the court who are disgusted with their behavior, but because their power is so great, even if they sacrifice their lives, they still cannot shake them at all, so they can only keep their tails between their legs.

Now the people in the court can only hope that Lu Ziren will really stand on the side of the crown prince, overthrow the Sixth Prince and this arrogant Duke Ding'an, re-establish a clean and upright court, and restore peace to the world.

"So what do we need to do now? Can we just wait for the right time?"

The Sixth Prince was obviously a little anxious. Now that the position of Lu Ziren's team had changed in Caotang, the situation in the court had shifted, and many people had joined Taizi's sect. They had been beaten and put in solitary confinement by him before, but now the atmosphere in the court had slowly shifted to the side of the Crown Prince.

The Sixth Prince was very afraid that the Crown Prince would not gain more advantages because of Lu Ziren's defection. At that time, he would have no choice but to rebel and risk the wrath of the world. He did not want to end up in that situation.

King Kang was a king of a different surname, and there had been a prince before him.

The prince at that time was not the prince today.

But the prince's brother.

That prince was loyal to the emperor, loved by his great virtue and was praised by everyone. The Sixth Prince also competed with him at that time, but he was covered in dust like a pearl, and no one could see his value. But since the case of Prince Kang happened.

The crown prince's entire family was sentenced to death, and even King Kang did not escape. So he was very grateful to his father-in-law, Duke Annan, for all that he had planned for him. It was like killing two birds with one stone.

But he never expected that after overthrowing the crown prince, not only did he not get the throne, but he also supported the crown prince's younger brother, another crown prince.

He had to fight openly and secretly with the prince who had been helped to rise to power.

It is clear that this prince was just an insignificant rookie before, but now he is as ferocious as the king of the mountains.

He had to muster up his courage to confront the prince.

Furthermore, now in the court, apart from him and the crown prince, who are in their prime and have political talents, the other princes can't make any difference at all.

"Father-in-law, if we can get rid of Lu Ziren as soon as possible, wouldn't all the military power be in our hands? Why should we be aggrieved? In your opinion, when can we get rid of Lu Ziren?"

After hearing what Lord Ding'an said, the Sixth Prince was still very anxious.

He has been waiting for that position for too long, and now His Majesty the Emperor is very old and his health is getting worse day by day.

He doesn't want to wait any longer. He defeated the former crown prince and supported a new crown prince. He doesn't want the emperor to pass the throne to another child after the crown prince is defeated. Then why has he been fighting all his life? "Please vote"
