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

During the Lantern Festival, in order to suit the occasion, Uncle Lin hung some lanterns in his house and also set up prizes.

The lanterns chosen by Uncle Lin were quite good. Xia Yingying and the people in the mansion had viewed them, and the people in the mansion also won quite a few prizes.

Xia Yingying agreed to Lu Ziren, and the two went to the market hand in hand. Xia Yingying had been looking at the lanterns at home these days, and now when she came out, she stared at the small shops selling things on the street.

"Wow, it's so lively."

"Yeah." Lu Ziren looked at the bustling crowd and felt it was too noisy, but since Xia Yingying liked it, he liked it too.

"If you like, I'll spend next year with you." Lu Ziren said.

"Okay, sure." Xia Yingying continued walking forward and agreed casually.

It seemed like a casual agreement, but Xia Yingying had thought about it for a long time. Now that they were together and might spend their whole lives together, there was no need for Lu Ziren to keep a distance and make both of them embarrassed.

Seeing that Xia Yingying agreed readily, Lu Ziren felt very happy. He held Xia Yingying's hand tightly and continued walking forward. Soon they came to a place for guessing riddles.

There was a red rope hanging under the red lantern, with a wooden sign attached to it. Xia Yingying picked it up casually, and then carefully read the words on it.

"Why should we meet before?"

When Xia Yingying saw this poem, she was instantly distracted. The world she was in was obviously completely different from the place she had been to before, but these poems and the Thirty-Six Stratagems completely overlapped with the things in the world she had lived in.

Although this is a world in a book, it is incredibly real. Although the people Xia Yingying meets are all paper figures, they are all flesh and blood, no different from real people.

At this moment, Lu Ziren hated himself for not reading more books. Even after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out the answer to the riddle, which made Lu Ziren very embarrassed.

Looking at Xia Yingying's expectant eyes, he wanted to slap himself a few times. If he had that ability, Xia Yingying would not have been frustrated by guessing the riddle now.

Xia Yingying was not good at solving the puzzles by herself, and after looking at a few, she lost interest.

The fun of guessing riddles is to guess the right riddle and win the prize, but neither of them understands what they are doing guessing riddles here? Are they asking for trouble?

Xia Yingying instantly lost interest in guessing riddles and wanted to move forward.

"Yingying, I'm sorry. I'm not well-educated and I've embarrassed you." Lu Ziren lowered his head in shame and apologized to Xia Yingying.

"You are not good at poetry and literature, and neither am I. We are the same, and there is no such thing as one laughing at the other. Besides, although you are not good at poetry and literature, you have learned the art of war well, and you have good martial arts skills on the battlefield, fighting bravely. This is already the best of the best. There are some people who simply cannot do what you do, so why do you feel inferior to others?"

Xia Yingying said this to Lu Ziren sincerely.

"We can't guess riddles, but is there any archery or fighting competition at the Lantern Festival that we can participate in? It would be great if you could win a prize for me."

Xia Yingying said very considerately.

When Lu Ziren heard what Xia Yingying said, his eyes lit up instantly.

Xia Yingying didn't care at all that he had no knowledge of poetry or books. She liked him as a person, not those external reputations. After Lu Ziren realized this, the corners of his mouth curled up, but the smile never faded.

Lu Ziren's big hand tightly held Xia Yingying's small hand, and the two walked towards the brightly lit place.

Lu Ziren basically didn't go out for a walk during the Lantern Festival, so he naturally didn't know if there was a place for a martial arts competition in the market. However, in order to leave an unforgettable prize for Xia Yingying, Lu Ziren kept asking many passers-by and walked towards the direction of the archery competition.

"Uncle, is there a place for archery competitions around here?"

"Yes, my dear. Just keep walking in this direction and you will see it." The old man said as he pointed Lu Ziren to the direction for the archery competition.

After expressing his gratitude, Lu Ziren took Xia Yingying and walked in the direction the old man pointed. However, there were many people along the way and it was crowded. If one was not careful, they would be in danger of being swept away by the crowd.

There were many vendors setting up stalls along the way.

Xia Yingying was not very interested in visiting the stalls today. She had already bought a lot of things last time and they were still piled up at home without being used. Although Xia Yingying was a romantic and had money now, she bought things based on her own preferences, but if she bought too much, she would also consider whether they were good to use.

So he didn't go around, but followed Lu Ziren directly to the place where he could shoot arrows.

Lu Ziren was very nervous at first, worried that there was no place where he could show off his archery skills, but when the old man pointed out the direction, he felt relieved.

Lu Ziren's hand was holding Xia Yingying's hand tightly all the time, and Xia Yingying could naturally feel Lu Ziren's nervousness.

She thought Lu Ziren was worried that he would be too nervous to get the prize, so she comforted him: "Don't worry, if we can't shoot arrows, we can play other things. It's not necessary to get the prize to be perfect."

"No, I will definitely get the prize for you. Don't worry." Although Lu Ziren said that, he was actually very scared in his heart. He was worried that the good prizes had already been won and there was nothing Xia Yingying liked. Then, wouldn't he be causing trouble for Xia Yingying by coming out today?

Xia Yingying came out today to see the lanterns, and if he couldn't win a prize for her, it meant that he was incompetent. Besides, he knew his archery skills, but if there was no prize that Xia Yingying liked, it would spoil her fun, so Lu Ziren would not consider it. Lu Ziren didn't want this to happen.

Lu Ziren had never prayed to the gods before, but at this moment he was praying silently in his heart, hoping that the prize that Xia Yingying liked was still there.

There was a bustling cheering sound coming from the front, and then there was a burst of noise from the crowd.

Lu Ziren had good hearing and immediately knew that they were competing in archery and had won a prize.

Hearing this, Lu Ziren became nervous. Does that mean that he will be useless later?

Lu Ziren let out a breath nervously. Xia Yingying felt his palms sweating from nervousness and gently squeezed them.

"Yingying, I saw it. It's right in front. Let's go together. I'll get it for you whatever gift you want later." Lu Ziren's voice was a little hoarse when he spoke, half because of nervousness and half because of excitement.

"Okay." Xia Yingying said softly.

As they were talking, Lu Ziren and Xia Yingying had already arrived at the archery competition area in front.

"You wait here, I will go and sign up. You can take a look at what prize you want first, and I will get you whatever you want when the time comes." Lu Ziren said in a very gentle voice.

"okay."

There was a young couple near Xia Yingying who saw Xia Yingying and Lu Ziren being so affectionate and couldn't help but ask Xia Yingying.

"Madam, how do you get along with your husband? Why is your relationship so good and loving? How did you tame him?" The person asking the question was a woman in her twenties with a rather loud voice.

She had just seen the interaction between Xia Yingying and Lu Ziren clearly. That idiot in her family only cared about having fun every day and didn't care about her at all. This woman had a good way of training her husband. She wanted to have a sweet love and a sweet marriage. "Please vote"
