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

"Your business will continue as usual, and just give me a little dividend every month. Lu Ziren, can you do me a favor?"

Xia Yingying naturally wanted to have Lu Ziren's money. After all, who would complain about having too much money?

However, Xia Yingying was not very good at managing Lu Ziren's business, so she decided not to do any job that she was not capable of doing.

Besides, she now has a cake shop. Two stores are enough to keep her busy. She is not so idle that she likes to find things to do.

Xia Yingying couldn't help but ask Lu Ziren.

"We are husband and wife, so why should we talk about helping each other? It is only natural for me to help you."

Lu Ziren said this to Xia Yingying.

"Do you want me to help you with anything? Just tell me. I'll do whatever I can for you."

"This is not the place to talk. Let's go back and I'll tell you in detail." Xia Yingying looked around and said very cautiously.

Lu Ziren nodded and came out with Xia Yingying.

Even though it was already late, there were still many people on the street. Xia Yingying looked at the crowd on Yuanding Bridge, which was still bustling, as if everyone in the capital had gone out today just to walk on the bridge to receive blessings and wishes.

This way they can stay together forever.

Brilliant fireworks exploded in the sky. Lu Ziren held Xia Yingying's hand and they looked up at the sky together. Then, when the fireworks faded away, their eyes intertwined in an instant.

Xia Yingying's eyes trembled, and Lu Ziren's brows instantly became gentle.

"I'm really happy to be with you today."

Lu Ziren spoke in a very gentle voice.

"Me too." Xia Yingying said softly.

It was as light as a feather. If Lu Ziren hadn't had excellent hearing, he might not have been able to hear it.

Lu Ziren curled the corners of his lips slightly. As long as he was with Yingying, he was happy every day.

Lu Ziren suddenly stopped. Xia Yingying didn't understand why, but when Lu Ziren put his hand on Xia Yingying's waist, Xia Yingying knew that Lu Ziren wanted to hug her.

"No, I can walk." Xia Yingying refused.

"You've been busy all day and must be tired. Besides, don't you like flying in the sky? I'll take you back." Lu Ziren said, looking at Xia Yingying's whorl of hair.

Xia Yingying refused again.

"We really don't need to go here. It's actually quite close to our home. We can just walk back. You just held me and flew. I've had enough. Besides, didn't we just eat Yuanxiao? My stomach is still a little bloated. I want to digest it for a while."

Xia Yingying patted her slightly bulging belly and said to Lu Ziren.

Lu Ziren looked at Xia Yingying's naive appearance and felt very fond of her.

"According to your."

But Lu Ziren held Xia Yingying's hand, and the two walked towards home together.

The orange light stretched the two people's shadows long.

The two shadows intertwined, as if they were born to be together.

But the noise behind him affected Lu Ziren's interest at the moment.

Lu Ziren frowned slightly, and a sinister look flashed in his eyes.

It has been following him like a tail since he left the house. He originally didn't want to care about this tail, but at this moment, he was extremely annoyed. This tail ruined his good mood.

Lu Ziren took out two copper coins from his purse and threw them behind him. As the copper coins fell to the ground, there were two dull sounds, like the sound of a person falling to the ground.

Xia Yingying heard a sound, but she didn't pay attention.

Lu Ziren was a little nervous, afraid that Xia Yingying would know that they were being followed, which would ruin the mood of the trip. He couldn't help but frowned slightly, thinking that he shouldn't do it himself, but should let the secret guards do it.

Xia Yingying just turned her head and saw Lu Ziren's slightly frowned brows, and couldn't help but ask Lu Ziren.

"what happened to you?"

Lu Ziren immediately put on a gentle smile.

"It's nothing. I just saw a few big rats running by on the street and I felt a little disgusted for a moment."

Xia Yingying was stunned. The street looked quite clean, so how could there be a rat? Seeing Lu Ziren's surprised expression, the rat must have been very big.

"Where is the mouse?"

"It just ran past and you didn't see it." Lu Zirao lied. The mouse couldn't stand the light and he didn't want Xia Yingying to know and be upset.

"Okay." Xia Yingying felt a little sorry.

At a dim street corner, two men in black were whispering to each other.

"Lu Ziren has discovered us. We are quite far away." The secret guard who was hit couldn't help but exclaim.

"You idiot, he has already discovered us, but he is just teaching us a lesson now. There is no point in following him any further, let's go back and report."

The noise behind him died down, and Lu Ziren's brows relaxed when he heard the two people leave.

The Sixth Prince's Mansion.

"Your Highness and Princess, after Lu Ziren and his wife left Tianxiang Tower today, they went to Yuanding Bridge and the Hechun Opera Troupe to watch opera. However, Xia and the Hechun Opera Troupe's courtesan seemed to be old acquaintances. The two chatted in the room for a while, and Lu Ziren was guarding outside, so we didn't hear what they said."

"You didn't hear what they were talking about at all?" asked the Sixth Prince doubtfully.

"No, Lu Ziren is a very skilled martial artist. We kept our distance, but he still found us."

"Your Highness, I think Lu Ziren knew all along that we were following them, but he pointed it out only at the end." The secret guard told his guess to the Sixth Prince and his wife.

After hearing what the secret guard said, the Sixth Prince's wife analyzed the situation with the Sixth Prince.

"Your Majesty, the relationship between Lu Ziren and the Crown Prince is unclear right now, so we shouldn't rush for success. We should carefully plan to bring Lu Ziren down.

Since Xia is an old acquaintance of the opera troupe's courtesan, and Lu Ziren has a very good relationship with Xia, if we want to control Lu Ziren, we can just start with Xia.

There is no need to fight Lu Ziren to the point of death. Lu Ziren controls most of the military power in Daliang, and no one can compare to him. If we anger him, Lu Ziren might do something, and he might even become the emperor himself. We have worked hard to make plans for nothing."

"What do you think we should do next?" the Sixth Prince asked the Sixth Prince's wife.

"Your Highness, we should start with the courtesan. Since we know that Xia Yingying has a close relationship with the courtesan, we can get some of Xia's secrets from the courtesan first." The Sixth Prince's wife acted decisively and made the decision firmly.

"What the princess said is absolutely right. Come on, just follow the princess's instructions and make sure you get Xia Yingying's secret from that courtesan."

Two people dressed in black clothes, wrapped completely in black with only their eyes showing, came up and knelt on the ground to receive orders.

"Your Highness, in order to get the secret from that courtesan, is it okay to use any means?" The secret guard knew the Sixth Prince's methods. He would do anything, no matter how vicious it was, as long as he could achieve his goal.

"Of course, are you talking nonsense? What we need is the secret about Mrs. Lu Ziren, so that we can control him. If we don't know the secret of Xia family, who can we control? You? You are such an idiot." "Please vote"
