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

"Business was good yesterday and it's also good today. In fact, there are other people in the store, so you don't have to worry so much. You might as well take a good rest." Lu Ziren walked up to Xia Yingying and patted her shoulders and said.

Xia Yingying shook her head.

"I'm destined to be a hard worker. I can't leave the store. I will take good care of myself, so you don't have to worry about that. But I still find it strange. I thought the cakes in the shop above would be bought by very rich people, but it turns out that only ordinary people can afford such expensive cakes." Xia Yingying knew that Lu Ziren cared about her, so she didn't push Lu Ziren away. She told him about her confusion.

Xia Yingying advocates spending as much money as possible and rational consumption, but those women dress ordinary.

The hair accessories on the head are basically a silver hairpin or a wooden hairpin.

At first glance, she was a girl from an ordinary family. She didn't have any extra money to buy this cake. She was instigated by others, but who gave them the money? What was the motive of those people?

Xia Yingying raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Lu Ziren. Lu Ziren knew that Xia Yingying must have guessed something, but she just wanted to confirm it again.

"You are right. They are all sent by the nobles. This is an opportunity for them to make money. It is just right to have more evidence, which will be of great benefit to them in solving their living needs."

"Just focus on your business and don't worry about other things. I'll take care of everything." Lu Ziren knew what Xia Yingying was worried about. He knew that in addition to the pastry shop, Xia Yingying also cared about their family.

It feels so good to be remembered like this. But Lu Ziren didn't want to involve Xia Yingying in these things.

If he dragged Xia Yingying into this mess, he would be unworthy of being a husband, as the water here is simply too deep.

He only asked Xia Yingying to do what she liked and be safe and happy. If everything at the moment would hurt Xia Yingying and the children,

Then he would rather give up his belief in revenge for King Kang, even if some people would say that he was not ambitious and was only obsessed with beauty, but he didn't care. As long as he was good to Xia Yingying, he could do anything.

But Xia Yingying was understanding and wanted to go to the capital.

This made Lu Ziren's heart feel like there was a fire burning.

"Among those who bought cakes, some stood on the side of the Sixth Prince, and some stood on the side of the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince wanted to take care of our business, while the Sixth Prince thought I had done something in the cake shop to control them. But they were wrong. I didn't do anything. But it's good this way. It can increase the source of customers. When the time comes, you can make as many cakes as you want, and they will definitely buy them all. This way, you can make more money. Why not?"

Lu Ziren was talking to Xia Yingying, and Xia Yingying instantly understood why those people were so strange. They obviously hated that kind of durian cake, but they still bought it back, and even bought out all the cakes in the store above. It was the same below, so that's how it was, but this was indeed an opportunity to make money, Xia Yingying didn't feel guilty, and immediately made a lot of cakes and put them in the store. After they were done, she went back with Lu Ziren, and gave the rest to the clerk.

up.

The Sixth Prince's party saw that Lu Ziren still did not attend the court, and the existence of the family made them feel uncomfortable, but they did not have any concrete evidence. But they wanted to embarrass Lu Ziren, and they attacked him like mad dogs in the court.

"Your Majesty, Lu Ziren is really bold and presumptuous. He is guilty of deceiving the emperor. Please punish him severely so that people in the court can set a good example."

His Majesty, who was sitting on the Dragon Throne, immediately became interested when he heard someone say this about Lu Ziren.

"Oh, what's wrong? Didn't Lu Ziren already have a leave of absence? I also approved it. How could he be a criminal? Liu Aiqing, can you tell me in detail?"

"Your Majesty, Lu Ziren said that he was too busy to attend court. In fact, he and his wife have been busy with the pastry shop, causing people from all over the capital to gather in front of his pastry shop.

The security of the capital has been ruined by Lu Ziren. As a general, Lu Ziren still broke the law. He should be punished to serve as a warning to others. Don't let other ministers absorb this idea, otherwise, once the atmosphere in the court is deviated, it will be difficult to rectify it. "

Minister Liu, who was under the Sixth Prince, listed all the crimes committed by Lu Ziren word for word, as if they were his own treasures.

The third prince in front couldn't help but burst out laughing.

When the emperor saw the third prince laughing, he was curious about why he was laughing so he asked.

"Third Prince, please tell me, is there anything wrong with what you said just now?"

The emperor mentioned the third prince by name. The third prince did not dare to behave in a frivolous manner at this moment. He walked out of the team of officials, saluted the emperor respectfully, then stood up straight and spoke respectfully.

"Your Majesty, what Liu Aiqing said is wrong. General Lu is a great hero who guards the border, and the whole country knows this. He has been fighting on the battlefield since he joined the army, and finally has his own family. He is not very interested in dealing with military paperwork. What's wrong with him wanting to spend time with his wife and children? He is just a person, and it is normal for him to have seven emotions and six desires. What does Liu Aiqing want to prove by saying this? To prove that General Lu is arrogant and reckless because of his favor?

Liu Aiqing is just talking to himself about this matter.

After General Lu returned to the capital, he had already handed over the military power to his father. His father is now the Grand Marshal who unified the world. General Lu also needs to eat, and the meager salary in the court is not enough to satisfy him. What's wrong with him wanting to open a shop? The cakes made by his wife are delicious, and everyone in the capital likes to eat them. There is nothing wrong with that. It is ridiculous for you to put such a high hat on General Lu!"

The third prince used his venomous mouth to directly confront Minister Liu, leaving him speechless.

Although the emperor was in the deep palace, he had a clear grasp of all the movements in the court. He knew that Lu Ziren's people had no contact with any of his factions, and he was just accompanying his wife peacefully. The current pastry business made him feel at ease for no reason.

But he also knew that although the situation had been temporarily stabilized, those northern barbarians would definitely not give up.

They will surely come back again like weeds that grow again in the spring breeze. He can only be cautious with Lu Ziren because there is no general in the army who can match Lu Ziren. If those barbarians want to cross the border and attack Huanglong, then his country Daliang will be destroyed.

He did not want future history books to say that the Daliang Kingdom would end with his generation. He knew that there were undercurrents in the court, but at the same time he had to do his best to curb this trend.

"It turns out that General Lu's wife actually opened a pastry shop. I heard that it's quite popular. The pastries he makes are so delicious that you can't even buy them even if you have to queue up. Come on, go out of the palace and bring me a portion of each of the pastries in Lu Ziren's shop. I want to taste how delicious Lu Ziren's pastries are and whether they can compare to those made in my imperial kitchen."

When the emperor said this, he was giving the Third Prince and Minister Liu a way out. Seeing the emperor say this, they stopped arguing and each of them withdrew. The emperor was drowsy after hearing this, and after the court session, the eunuchs went to Xia Yingying's cake shop.

During the period before the Chinese New Year, Xia Yingying's pastry shop business has been very good.

Xia Yingying was going to close the shop during the Chinese New Year, so there were a lot of people there on the day before the Chinese New Year. Xia Yingying, Song Ruyi and others were busy making cakes. Almost everyone in the city would come to the cake shop to order cakes.

After a few days of reputation building, everyone knew that Gao Xing Bakery was cheap and delicious, and it was always very popular. Many people were afraid that they would not be able to get it, so they lined up in front of the store early in the morning. "Please vote"
