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

"If you have it, I would still be willing to do it. If you don't have it, then there's no need." Lu Ziren said.

"Okay." If it wasn't in the space system, Xia Yingying couldn't produce it, so of course she wouldn't give it to her.

"I'm going to the study to take care of some things." Lu Ziren said.

"Go ahead." Xia Yingying waved her hand.

Lu Ziren felt a little depressed when he saw Xia Yingying's actions as if she wished he was not around, but he was also moved by Xia Yingying's charming actions.

But Lu Ziren did not stay long. He went to the study and told the prince that Lu Haoran would be the study companion of the emperor's eldest grandson.

Lu Ziren quickly wrote down the message in the study and asked the secret guard to deliver it to the prince. After writing the note, he re-recorded the Thirty-Six Strategies that Xia Yingying had told him.

He closed his eyes, silently thinking about Xia Yingying's expression and voice when she talked about the Thirty-Six Strategies, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Today, he just followed what Xia Yingying said. He didn't think about asking for any military strategy books at the beginning, but he didn't expect Xia Yingying to bring it up on her own initiative. How could he not be tempted? But, could Xia Yingying really get the military strategy books?

Lu Ziren had inquired with Lu Yuwei, and found out that the medical books Lu Yuwei got were completely different from the ones Qin Qingfeng taught her, but each had its own merits, and Lu Yuwei was fascinated by them.

Through Lu Yuwei, Lu Ziren could already guess that what Xia Yingying gave her must be a rare treasure.

Lu Ziren couldn't help but feel a little excited.

But he also knew that Xia Yingying's hesitation was not because she didn't want to give him the military book, but because she was not sure whether she could get it.

Prince's Mansion.

Lu Ziren's letter was quickly delivered to the prince. When the prince saw that Lu Haoran had agreed to be the emperor's eldest grandson's study companion, he sent someone to tell the eldest grandson.

The prince was overjoyed. Originally, he didn't want to get close to Lu Ziren so quickly, but the Sixth Prince pressed him too hard, so he had to take measures.

"Go tell the eldest grandson that Lu Haoran will be his study partner. Send someone to prepare two sets of pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and make sure to take good care of Lu Haoran."

"Yes, Your Highness." The eunuch retreated respectfully.

When Lu Ziren went to the study, Xia Yingying secretly called out to the space inside her body.

"Space, system? Are you there? Are you there? If you are, answer me. Can I exchange the military strategy book for you?"

Xia Yingying knew that the system would not answer immediately, so she started reading the storybook while waiting.

Xia Yingying is not very interested in the novels she is reading now. She will get bored if she reads too many of the same type.

But after waiting for a long time, there was still no response from the space.

Xia Yingying raised her eyebrows. Although she was used to the crazy system, it didn't mean she was very happy about it.

Xia Yingying put aside the notebook in which she had just guessed the ending, and then picked up another one that she had not read and started reading it.

When Xia Yingying was halfway through the book, the familiar mechanical voice came again.

"Host, you can exchange them. There are various military books in our space. You can choose the one you like to exchange."

"What can I exchange for?"

Xia Yingying asked doubtfully.

"The host can choose the corresponding books based on your points. This is just to enable your future functions. Please spend your points rationally."

"How many points do I have now? What books can I redeem? What functions can I enable now?"

The system did not answer at this time. After a while, it said, "Host, this is a secret. Please use your points rationally."

Xia Yingying couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Oh my god, this is too crazy, but it's good enough to be able to exchange it."

Xia Yingying complained about an uncivilized catchphrase, and then looked at the books displayed in the space.

As soon as the names were heard, they were all books about military strategies, the kind that Xia Yingying could not read at all.

"System, do you have any recommendations? Your book on military tactics?"

Xia Yingying flipped through several pages, but had no desire to turn the next page. She just wanted a list of books and wanted to get it over with simply and directly.

"Host, you can just enter the content you want on the page to search."

Xia Yingying frowned. Is this system selective in answering questions?

But Xia Yingying did not think much about it and directly entered the words "ranking of military strategies" in the search bar. After a while, ten books popped up on the page. Xia Yingying only recognized two of them, namely "Thirty-Six Strategies" and "The Art of War".

Xia Yingying knew nothing about other books on military strategy.

Xia Yingying looked at the books that appeared on the screen and directly selected the first five.

But when she pointed her finger there, the screen prompted that Xia Yingying could only choose two books. The corners of Xia Yingying's mouth twitched violently, but she soon got used to it.

She re-ordered the last two books from the original list except for "Thirty-Six Strategies", namely "The Art of War" and "The Book of Su".

Xia Yingying's finger accidentally moved downwards and she found that the author of the book was Zhang Liang. Xia Yingying decided on the plain book without hesitation.

The cover of the book was exactly the same as the one Xia Yingying exchanged for Lu Yuwei. Xia Yingying took the book out of the space and placed it on the dressing table, to be given to Lu Ziren later.

When Lu Ziren came to the room again, it was almost time for dinner. He and Xia Yingying agreed to go to the flower hall for dinner. When Xia Yingying saw Lu Ziren coming, she handed him the two military books.

"I found this. See if you can use it. There's no other place to buy it except these two."

Lu Ziren took the book and couldn't wait to open it and read it. He found that the military strategy inside was something he had never read before.

The military strategies contained therein are even more profound.

If you have this book, you can just treat it as a family heirloom.

Lu Ziren subconsciously wanted to ask Xia Yingying where she got the book from. Thinking of Xia Yingying's identity, he gave up the idea. Why bother adding to Xia Yingying's troubles? Lu Ziren knew very well that Xia Yingying would not tell him the truth.

"Yingying, thank you. This book is very good, really very good." Lu Ziren held the book excitedly as if he had found a treasure.

Seeing Lu Ziren so happy, Xia Yingying couldn't help but feel happy for him.

"as long as you are happy."

Xia Yingying was not very interested in these strategies.

"Didn't you say you were going to eat? Then hurry up. If you go too late, the food will be cold, and it's cold now."

Xia Yingying looked at Lu Ziren and said.

"Yeah." Lu Ziren put the book on the table, then walked forward and held Xia Yingying's hand tightly, reluctant to let go.

Xia Yingying was holding the stove while reading the storybook, and there was a charcoal fire in the room, so her body was relatively warm. But once she left the room, Xia Yingying felt a chill that enveloped her whole body.

There was warmth only at the hand warmer, not anywhere else.

When Lu Ziren held Xia Yingying's hand, Xia Yingying wished she could stick her whole body to Lu Ziren, the warm heater.
