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

Xia Yingying ate a lot during the meal. Although she had taken a walk outside for a while, her appetite was not very big. She didn't want to eat after just a few bites.

Xia Yingying wanted to pack up the food and take it away, but there were no suitable tools here, so if she wanted to pack up, she could only carry the bowl with her.

Xia Yingying looked at the unfinished bowl of tofu pudding with a bit of resentment.

Seeing that Xia Yingying felt sorry for the waste of tofu pudding, Lu Ziren took Xia Yingying's tofu pudding and poured it all into his mouth in one breath to make Xia Yingying feel at ease.

Lu Ziren ate very quickly and finished his meal in a flash.

Xia Yingying was amazed at his eating speed. It seemed that Lu Ziren deliberately slowed down his eating speed when he ate.

"Slow down. We're not in a hurry. Eating too fast will make your stomach uncomfortable." Xia Yingying said this to Lu Ziren. Lu Ziren swallowed his food and said to Xia Yingying.

"It's okay. I always eat so fast. I was afraid you would feel pressured when eating with you. Now that you know, I won't hide it from you."

After hearing what Lu Ziren said, Xia Yingying thought that Lu Ziren was quite funny. How could he be so considerate of others?

After buying things, Xia Yingying did not walk around the street for a long time, but went back with Lu Ziren.

Lu Ziren knew how it felt to fly in the sky, so he took Xia Yingying to a remote corner. When Lu Ziren was about to pick her up, Xia Yingying said, "Let's walk back. I want to walk a little more to help digest the food I ate just now."

"it is good."

Lu Ziren did not object and agreed. He had indeed eaten a lot just now and his stomach was bloated.

"Do you think the children are asleep?" Xia Yingying felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward at the moment, and spoke to Lu Ziren in a disjointed manner.

"No, today is New Year's Eve and we have to stay up all night. They will definitely be waiting for us to stay up together." Lu Ziren answered with great certainty.

Lu Ziren held Xia Yingying's hand, stood close to her, and continuously transmitted his internal energy to her.

With the help of Lu Ziren's inner strength, Xia Yingying felt as warm as spring. With the clothes wrapped around her, she felt very comfortable and cozy.

The distance from the street to the general's mansion was not very far. Lu Ziren and Xia Yingying walked slowly. After walking for a while, Lu Ziren had almost digested the tofu pudding he had eaten, and his stomach was deflated.

Arriving at the gate, Lu Ziren knocked on the door.

After a while, someone came to open the door. He was wondering who would hang around here so late at night without sleeping, but he didn't expect that it was Lu Ziren and Xia Yingying who opened the door.

He asked in a trembling voice, "General, Madam, when did you go out?"

Lu Ziren said nothing and walked past the person who opened the door in a very arrogant manner. Seeing that they scared the person who opened the door, Xia Yingying immediately explained, "We climbed over the wall to get out."

The gatekeeper lowered his head and opened the door in silence.

After Xia Yingying and Lu Ziren returned, Lu Haoran, Lu Haojie and Lu Yuwei were still playing with firecrackers in the yard. The three of them had innocent smiles on their faces, which Xia Yingying had not seen.

It turned out that Lu Haoran and Lu Yuwei had just been hiding the little happiness that belonged to their age.

Xia Yingying looked at the three children and felt a wave of emotion in her heart. The three children were all kind and good children. If it weren't for the original owner, they wouldn't have become the tragic villains in the book. Fortunately, things have changed a little now.

Lu Haoran was not kicked out, Lu Yuwei was not disfigured, and even Lu Yurou was not sold out...

Lu Haoran, Lu Haojie, Lu Yuwei and the others didn't know that Xia Yingying and Lu Ziren had just come back from playing outside. They naively thought that the two of them had just gone to the room to be affectionate.

As soon as Lu Ziren returned to the courtyard, he handed the completely cold hand warmer in his hand to Jixiang, "Take this thing and warm it up for Madam."

"Yes, General." After receiving Lu Ziren's order, Jixiang went there immediately.

Xia Yingying had already taken a bath during the day and now she was tired, so she wanted to go back to her room to rest.

"I'll go back to my room to rest first. Call me if you need anything." Xia Yingying said to Lu Ziren and left.

The weather is really cold today. If she wasn't curious about the New Year customs of the Daliang people and wanted to see it, she would not be willing to go out in the cold wind. However, she is really grateful to Lu Ziren for staying with her today and using his internal energy to keep her warm, otherwise she would have been frozen into an ice sculpture.

She missed her bed, she missed her blanket, she missed the warmth of her quilt…

Xia Yingying returned to her room in two steps, washed quickly, took off her coat, and lay on the bed in her fluffy pajamas.

Xia Yingying almost forgot the existence of the heater.

Xia Yingying only remembered it when Jixiang brought the heater. However, at this time, Xia Yingying missed Lu Ziren, the natural heater, more.

But Lu Ziren must not be asleep yet. She would be very cold sleeping alone, so it would be better for her to hug a heater. She praised Jixiang for his thoughtfulness.

"Thank you, Jixiang."

Jixiang felt a little overwhelmed by Xia Yingying's words of thanks, because she did not take the heater for Xia Yingying on her own initiative. She was just following the general's orders.

Xia Yingying should thank Lu Ziren for this thank you. She dare not take credit for someone else's work, especially for a general. If Lu Ziren knew about this, he would eat her alive.

"Madam, the general asked me to bring the heater to you." Jixiang opened his bright eyes and said to Xia Yingying seriously.

"Oh, I see. Thank you for bringing it to me."

Seeing Jixiang so serious, Xia Yingying didn't know what to say for a moment. She thanked Jixiang and let him go.

Xia Yingying lay on the bed and placed the heater on her chest. She felt warm in an instant because of the heater.

At the moment, Lu Ziren was outside watching the children playing. Their noises were a little loud. Xia Yingying was lying on the bed and could vaguely hear Lu Ziren talking to the three children.

It's so late, why don't you go to bed? Are you all night owls?

Xia Yingying felt a little strange.

In modern times, staying up late is already a habit, because there are many entertainment options. But it is different here, there is nothing here. Xia Yingying couldn't understand why they were still not sleeping.

Xia Yingying asked Ping An Xi Le to go out and tell Lu Zi Ren and the three children to go back and rest early. They could continue playing tomorrow, so there was no need to rush.

Not long after Ping'an Xile left, Lu Ziren came in.

But he didn't want to rest. Instead, he walked to the bed and asked Xia Yingying seriously.

"Yingying, today is New Year's Eve. We will stay up all night to celebrate the New Year. Can we rest after midnight?"

Lu Ziren discussed the matter with Xia Yingying in a gentle tone.

Lu Ziren also wanted Xia Yingying to rest as soon as possible, but reason told him not to.

This was their first year together, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity to spend a complete first year with Xia Yingying. He also hoped that they would be happy in the future and was willing to abide by those rules that he had previously thought were pedantic.

After hearing what Lu Ziren said, Xia Yingying realized what she had done wrong.

Before, when she spent the New Year at home with her grandmother, her grandmother would let Xia Yingying go downstairs to rest first because she was worried that Xia Yingying would not be able to hold on.

Every time, her grandmother would get up at 12 o'clock in the morning to burn incense. At that time, she thought that her grandmother just got up in the middle of the night, but she didn't expect that there was a custom of staying up all night.

"Sorry, I forgot that we have to stay up all night today." Xia Yingying said to Lu Ziren with a look of regret.

"It's okay. If you feel sleepy, take a rest first. I can stay with the kids." Lu Ziren said cheerfully.

"I'm not sleepy. Since it's an activity for the whole family, I can't miss it." "Please vote"
