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

Xia Yingying's body was slowly getting cold. After all, she was outdoors and her body was a little cool. Besides, the heater was already cold. She was standing there, motionless, so she must be feeling uncomfortable.

When Lu Ziren saw Xia Yingying gathering her cloak, he immediately hugged Xia Yingying in his arms, with Xia Yingying only showing her head.

Because of Lu Ziren's thoughtfulness, Xia Yingying's little heart suddenly felt like it was being beaten and began beating with joy.

"Are you still cold?" Lu Ziren used his inner strength to make his body warmer than before. Xia Yingying placed the already cold heater in Lu Ziren's big hands and placed her hands on Lu Ziren's chest. Lu Ziren's chest was hard and full of muscles.

"It's not cold anymore." Xia Yingying's entire body except for her face was covered in Lu Ziren's cloak. She was as warm as if she was hugging a human heater. It was so comfortable.

This is really unfair. Lu Ziren has martial arts skills, internal strength, and is not afraid of the cold. Why doesn't she, a newbie who is afraid of the cold, have such skills?

Just when Xia Yingying was daydreaming, Lu Ziren took the initiative to speak to Xia Yingying.

"Yingying, I may not be able to help in your pastry shop after the New Year. There will be a lot of things in the court that need my attention by then."

"Well, I know I can handle the pastry shop business. If I can't, my mother will help me. You just take care of your own business and don't worry about me. I can take good care of myself." Xia Yingying said.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Lu Ziren felt a little jealous when he saw Xia Yingying being so sensible.

He kind of hoped that Xia Yingying would act like a little troublemaker and act coquettishly towards him, so that he would feel better.

"It's not hard for me, but you are the one who has the hardest time as an official in the court. All the political schemes and intrigues, all the scheming and scheming, if you let me handle those things, I'm afraid I don't know how to do it. Who knows, you might be sold out and still help them count money. You should be careful. You are the pillar of our family, and all our hopes are on you."

Xia Yingying heard that Lu Ziren sounded a little lost, so she comforted him like this.

"Ah."

Lu Ziren actually wanted to confess to Xia Yingying that he might have to go back to the northern border not long after the Chinese New Year.

Thinking about being separated from Xia Yingying for such a long time, Lu Ziren only felt a surge of anger.

After returning to Beijing this time, the Sixth Prince and the Crown Prince's faction were fighting for power in full swing. His position was crucial, because his position made many people in the court choose to join the Crown Prince's side.

The Crown Prince has always had a good reputation in the court. He is not like the Sixth Prince who did many heinous crimes for power and money. However, the Sixth Prince's backers are too strong, and no one in the court dares to expose his evil deeds at the risk of their entire family's lives.

But ever since Lu Ziren joined the prince's party, the prince has become more confident in the struggle for power.

However, the alliance between the Crown Prince and Lu Ziren was only formed secretly within the court. Although rumors had spread, no one dared to bring the matter to the attention of the Emperor, so the Emperor naturally did not know about it.

The prince originally wanted to give Lu Ziren a New Year gift, but reason prevented him from digging his own grave.

But the prince did not fail to express his opinion. Instead, he asked a centrist in the court to send Lu Ziren a not-so-expensive gift, four sets of study supplies, all prepared for the children.

When the gifts were delivered, Lu Ziren and Xia Yingying were still in the attic watching the fireworks and had not returned. Naturally, those gifts were accepted by Mr. Lin.

Xia Yingying's hand was still on Lu Ziren's chest, but she couldn't keep it in one place. That would be awkward, so she moved her hand down and suddenly felt several bumps on Lu Ziren's chest. The bumps were not muscle texture, but bumpy and felt like stone.

Xia Yingying frowned, thinking of Lu Ziren's identity, and realized that it was the scar he got on the battlefield.

Xia Yingying hooked her index finger, poked the scar on Lu Ziren's chest with her fingertips and asked Lu Ziren.

"Are you still in pain now?"

Xia Yingying knew that this question was useless, but she still couldn't help but ask Lu Ziren.

She felt sorry for Lu Ziren, and felt sorry for how thick the scar was.

Lu Ziren must have been very desperate at that time.

From having nothing to having the power and money he has now, it has not been easy for Lu Ziren to come this far. All of it was earned by Lu Ziren on the battlefield with his life and pain.

Xia Yingying's heartache once again made Lu Ziren feel deeply moved and happy.

"It doesn't hurt anymore. It hasn't hurt for a long time." No one ever asked him if he was in pain when he was injured on the battlefield. There was only the blood on the battlefield and the scars that healed day after day, and new scars appeared. Even if he was numb to the pain, no one asked him.

Now he finally has a little fairy who cares about him and loves him. This little fairy is his beloved wife. How can Lu Ziren not be excited?

"Can you tell me what happened to you on the battlefield?" Xia Yingying was extremely curious about Lu Ziren's past.

Lu Ziren was silent in his heart, suppressing his excitement at the moment, and used a deep and magnetic subwoofer to tell Xia Yingying about his rise to wealth on the battlefield.

"Do you know the origin of this scar? It was my first time on the battlefield. I went from not daring to kill to killing countless people in just a few breaths.

I know that if I don't kill him, he will kill me.

At that time, I fought with those northern barbarians on the battlefield for a whole day and night. My head was so tired that I couldn't breathe, and my arms couldn't even lift the gun. But I lay there motionless and thought it would be nice to die like this.

No one in my family likes me, but it would be a shame to just give up on me considering the pain I've been through.

So I got up again and started fighting those barbarians.

There were more and more barbarians behind me, and I was almost out of strength. My comrades fell one after another. Just when I thought I was about to die, King Kang arrived with reinforcements. I became one of the few survivors in that tragic battle. King Kang thought highly of me and asked Uncle Lin to teach me how to read and write, and learn military tactics. I gradually made great achievements on the battlefield.

This scar was caused by the northern barbarian who stabbed me in the chest with his gun when I was unable to hold on. I was lucky that he stabbed me in the wrong direction and King Kang was able to react in time. If he had stabbed me a little deeper, I would have had no hope of survival. "

When Lu Ziren said this, Xia Yingying felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen. She had never expected this to happen.

Xia Yingying listened silently, but held Lu Ziren's waist tightly with both hands, which was both comforting and companionship.

In addition to the scar you just touched on Lu Ziren's chest, there are countless scars elsewhere on his body. These are Lu Ziren's honors and his medals.

"Yingying, are you afraid? Are you afraid of the scars on my body?"

Lu Ziren said this unexpectedly.

Xia Yingying raised her eyes and saw Lu Ziren looking at her with burning eyes, as if he was saying something silently. "Please vote"
