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

After dinner, Xia Yingying sent someone to send Jingjing back, and Lu Haojie also followed the person to send Jingjing back.

Jingjing originally wanted to enroll in Gongshan Academy as soon as possible so that she could be with Lu Haojie all the time, but since Lu Haojie was going after the Chinese New Year, she must go at the same time as Lu Haojie.

She has to tell her parents first, she doesn’t want to go to school alone.

Jingjing's parents also agreed to let Jingjing go to school after the Chinese New Year.

Time passed day by day, and soon it was the day when Xia Yingying opened the shop.

The staff helping in the store were basically transferred from the government.

The day before Xia Yingying opened the shop, she, Jixiang Ruyi and her mother Song Ruyi made some pastries that could be stored, such as biscuits. She made the cakes a little ahead of time.

Even so, on the day Xia Yingying opened the shop, everyone got up early and were busy in the pastry shop.

Several strong men were grinding eggs quickly.

Jixiang Ruyi Pingan Xile was not idle either, pouring the prepared batter into the mold,

Suddenly, the kitchen in the pastry shop was bustling with chickens and eggs. However, the shy and serious man became a symbol of good luck, peace and happiness, and the object of amusement for several girls.

"Wow, you guys are really strong. Look at his bulging muscles. He's very strong. We originally thought that the lady was just worried that we couldn't make the fire, but we didn't expect that the guy who beat the eggs was really tired.

Only men with strong strength like you can do this job."

Jixiang is a person who likes to praise others, and she gets along well with most people in the mansion.

The two men who were praised by Jixiang beat the eggs faster and faster, and their faces turned red unconsciously.

But Jixiang said that, but she was not slow at all in making cakes, and Xia Yingying also learned very seriously when she taught her.

After the pastries are baked in the molds, they start making other local varieties.

Xia Yingying does not plan to change the name of the store in Beijing, and it will still be called Yigaoxing.

Before opening the store, Xia Yingying also used the method of attracting customers in Qingshui County.

After a few days of children singing nursery rhymes, almost everyone in Beijing knew that a cake shop was about to open, and that it would offer great discounts and free tastings. It would be a shame not to go. All of a sudden, many people had made appointments with their friends and girlfriends to come to the cake shop together.

Some nobles in the capital were also interested in Xia Yingying's pastries.

But what they were interested in was not the pastries themselves, but their doubts about the existence of Xia Yingying's pastry shop, and even gave rise to many conspiracy theories.

They unanimously decided to go to Xia Yingying's pastry shop to see what was going on inside.

But in order to conceal their identities, they would definitely not reveal their identities, as their identities were too sensitive. They could only ask the nearby civilians to buy cakes for them.

On the opening day, the street outside a cake shop was crowded with people, and the queue was like a winding snake, twisting several times.

Some ordinary people passed by and saw so many people in front of the store. They asked the people in front and heard that there was a discount, so they also joined the queue. Therefore, the already long queue became even more outrageous.

Xia Yingying saw the long queue and smiled happily, because this was all money.

The pastries in the pastry shop are consumed very quickly, and the kitchen is busy making pastries all the time.

Everyone was exhausted, but Xia Yingying said that there was a bonus today. Thinking of the generous bonus, everyone became motivated again. After a busy day, they finally finished entertaining the guests who came today. Xia Yingying felt like she was floating.

Because they were so busy today, everyone took turns eating. Xia Yingying didn't want to eat at all when she was busy, and only felt hungry after the meal was over.

Lu Ziren has also been helping today. He persuaded Xia Yingying to go back and rest, and he would help her manage the pastry shop.

But Xia Yingying was still worried. Although she was physically tired from being busy, she felt very satisfied overall.

Maybe she is destined to be a hard-working person and likes to be busy.

When the store was not busy, Xia Yingying went home and Lu Ziren accompanied her back.

Xia Yingying climbed onto the carriage. When Lu Ziren entered, Xia Yingying was already leaning against the window of the carriage and fell asleep.

Lu Ziren stepped forward and held Xia Yingying in his arms, his eyes full of tenderness and affection.

After returning to the mansion, Lu Ziren carefully carried Xia Yingying down from the carriage. Xia Yingying frowned because she was a little uncomfortable with the posture.

Lu Ziren carried Xia Yingying back to the room and put her on the bed.

Because Xia Yingying would feel uncomfortable sleeping in her outer clothes, Lu Ziren stepped forward to help Xia Yingying take off her shoes, socks and outer clothes, which made Xia Yingying feel lighter.

But because Lu Ziren had never taken off a woman's clothes before, he was clumsy and almost woke Xia Yingying up.

Lu Ziren's rough big hands gently patted Xia Yingying's hands. Xia Yingying felt comforted, and her frown slowly calmed down, and her breathing frequency became more and more stable.

Lu Ziren stayed beside Xia Ying's bed, resting his chin on his head and silently looking at Xia Yingying's sleeping face, feeling infinite emotion in his heart.

It feels so good to have the one you love by your side. To be together silently for a lifetime is already a kind of perfection in life.

During the time that Xia Yingying was asleep, Lu Ziren had been sitting by the bed, looking at Xia Yingying's sleeping face lovingly like a pervert.

Because Xia Yingying had already fallen asleep, Lu Ziren did not stay by the bed for long. After washing up, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep with Xia Yingying in his arms.

When Lu Ziren was about to go to sleep, there was a sound of a stone falling outside the door. Lu Ziren frowned, immediately lifted the quilt, tucked in Xia Yingying and walked out.

When Lu Ziren opened the door, he saw a man wrapped in black kneeling outside. It was the spy Lu Ziren had arranged in the Sixth Prince's mansion.

When the spy saw Lu Ziren coming out, he immediately reported the information he had collected today.

"General, today at the pastry shop, the Sixth Prince sent many people to buy pastries, wanting to check if this was a channel for transmitting information.

Yesterday, the spy returned the news sent by the Sixth Prince's Mansion and indeed followed the general's request and reported it to An Ta. He also brought other news for An Ta, which he collected."

The spy handed a piece of paper respectfully to Lu Ziren. Lu Ziren took it and looked at the words written on it, frowning slightly.

Written on the paper was the Sixth Prince's next plan to deal with Lu Ziren, but the paper did not state it explicitly. It only asked the secret agent to stay in Lu Ziren's mansion and actively search for information and lie dormant.

"But when the Sixth Prince returned home yesterday, he summoned his father-in-law, Lord Ding'an. This is what they said yesterday."

Lu Ziren took the note, took a look at it, and roughly understood in his heart why the Sixth Prince and Lord Ding'an chose to let the secret agent lurk in the mansion and no longer take any rash actions.

They had already guessed that the emperor was as ruthless as the abyss. If anything happened to him, the entire Liang Dynasty would be doomed.

"You continue to lurk in the Sixth Prince's mansion and report immediately if there is any movement."

"Yes, General." The spy took Lu Ziren's order and went down.

Lu Ziren looked at the dark night without stars or moon, with a dark glimmer in his eyes.

Since the Sixth Prince wants to buy so many cakes, then sell them to him. Yingying also likes the money earned from selling cakes, doesn’t she?

He didn't stare for long, he immediately looked away and went back to the room.

Xia Yingying was sleeping soundly on the bed with a red face.

Seeing Xia Yingying, the wrinkles on Lu Ziren's brows smoothed out, and the storm that had just been brewing gradually subsided.

Lu Ziren washed up, took off his coat and lay down beside Xia Yingying, resting his chin on her shoulder, looking relaxed and happy.
