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

But Xia Yingying had already promised it last time. If she made such a promise again this time, she would probably forget it next time. But there was really nothing she could do.

This cannot be blamed on her. Lu Ziren was not interested in chatting with Liu Qingyao, just like he and his colleagues talked about political affairs and military strategies. Everyone is different, with different interests and friends, and each has his own career and little world. It is indeed normal for the current situation to be like this.

"You've been waiting for a long time." Even so, Xia Yingying still said this to comfort Lu Ziren.

Xia Yingying didn't want to say this to Lu Ziren, but after Lu Ziren talked about his jealousy with Lu Haoran last time, Xia Yingying changed her opinion of Lu Ziren.

Lu Ziren was not what she imagined, he also needed someone to coax him carefully.

That's why Xia Yingying spoke to Lu Ziren in a humble manner.

"I didn't wait very long. I just read a military book...that's all." Lu Ziren said this. Although he said that he didn't wait very long, the time it took to read a book was indeed quite long.

Xia Yingying listened to Lu Ziren's somewhat sarcastic tone and held back a smile. Why did Lu Ziren now act like a little boy who couldn't get his toys?

Xia Yingying had only seen Lu Ziren being majestic, decisive, and hardworking, but she had never seen Lu Ziren being so childish.

Xia Yingying walked forward and sat on the chair next to Lu Ziren, very close to Lu Ziren, and reached out to hold Lu Ziren's hand.

"Okay, I'll ignore you. I was wrong and I apologize to you." Although Xia Yingying thought she was not wrong, she still said this to appease Lu Ziren.

"What have you done wrong? When your friend comes, it's only natural that you take care of her. You can't just let me sit there and watch you two chatting."

Lu Ziren was silent for a while and then said to Xia Yingying.

Lu Ziren really understood Xia Yingying, but he still couldn't control his temper.

Does liking someone really make you lose your mind?

"You're so nice." Xia Yingying's fingers passed through Lu Ziren's broad palm, and her knuckles moved back and forth, as if their fingers were dancing a duet.

"Today I bought three boats of fruit from Sister Wang. I plan to sell some of them and use some of them to make fresh fruit cakes. The rest will be made into dried fruit. You can try some."

Naturally, someone had placed fruits here for Lu Ziren.

Lu Ziren had just heard Xia Yingying talk to Liu Qingyao about it, so he naturally knew that Xia Yingying had bought the fruit. But now that he heard Xia Yingying take the initiative to tell him about it, Lu Ziren was also very happy.

"The fruit cannot be stored for long and will rot easily. We need to sell it as soon as possible. Have you found someone who can make dried fruit?" Lu Ziren said to Xia Yingying.

Lu Ziren wrapped Xia Yingying's small hands tightly with his big hands.

Xia Yingying smiled slightly and told Lu Ziren her plan. When it came to so many people coming to the mansion at once, Xia Yingying felt that she was a bit reckless. She was not the only one in the mansion. After all, it was their home. She should discuss it with Lu Ziren and wait for Lu Ziren to agree to take her home before it would be more appropriate.

"I... I made the decision suddenly today without telling you. Will bringing so many people home affect you?" Xia Yingying asked a little uneasily.

Lu Ziren shook his head. "Yingying, I know you know how to act. Although you didn't tell me this time, you know that these things won't hurt me. In the future, if you can make decisions on your own, you don't have to tell me everything. That place is not only my mansion, it's also your mansion. It's our home."

When Xia Yingying told Luo Ziren that she had bought many people home, Xia Yingying hesitated and spoke with an apologetic tone. Lu Ziren felt a little uncomfortable at night, so he said that directly to Xia Yingying.

"Yeah." Lu Ziren's words directly soothed Xia Yingying's self-blame.

"But, with so many people here all of a sudden, can the mansion accommodate them?"

When Xia Yingying was in the General's Mansion, she only visited a few courtyards and did not tour the entire mansion completely. Naturally, she didn't know how big the real area of ​​the General's Mansion was.

"Don't worry about that. The mansion can definitely accommodate them. Even if you want to bring another 200 people, the mansion can still accommodate them."

Lu Ziren said.

"So big?" Xia Yingying looked at Lu Ziren in surprise, and Lu Ziren explained calmly.

"My mansion used to be the palace of the prince of the previous dynasty, so it's naturally very large. I don't like having so many people serve me, and I don't want to waste so much manpower, material resources, and financial resources, so I concentrated the people to live in a few courtyards. At first glance, the space is a bit small, but in fact, the other courtyards and rooms are empty and no one has taken care of them."

"So that's it." Xia Yingying said with sudden enlightenment.

Xia Yingying looked at the plate of fruit between her and Lu Ziren without moving it. She raised her head, pointed at the fruit plate in front of her and asked Lu Ziren, "Don't you like it?"

"No, I was just reading a book and was so absorbed in it that I didn't eat."

The fruit was washed and cut. Xia Yingying picked up a piece of kiwi with a bamboo stick and handed it to Lu Ziren. Lu Ziren looked at the green fruit flesh in front of him and couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.

"Try it, it's delicious." Xia Yingying took the initiative to hand it to Lu Ziren.

Lu Ziren's heart moved slightly. It was not that he didn't want to eat, but he didn't expect Xia Yingying to feed him on her own initiative.

Lu Ziren bit into the kiwi fruit in an unreal way, his eyebrows moving slightly.

Seeing Lu Ziren eating, Xia Yingying asked him curiously about the taste of the fruit, "How is it? How does it taste? Is it sweet?"

Xia Yingying specifically asked them to pick out the softer ones as they were sweeter, so this fruit looks a little soft.

Lu Ziren did not feel any sweetness on his tongue, only a sour taste spreading in his mouth, but this was given to him by Xia Yingying, and no matter what, it always tasted the best.

"Sweet." Lu Ziren swallowed the kiwi fruit and said quickly to Xia Yingying.

"You eat too." After feeding him several pieces in a row, Lu Ziren saw that Xia Yingying was feeding him but he didn't eat any of his own pieces, so he said this.

"I've eaten enough outside." Xia Yingying shook her head. She and Liu Qingyao had eaten a lot outside. Now she couldn't eat any more.

"If it's sweet, eat more." Xia Yingying then fed Lu Ziren another piece. Unknowingly, Xia Yingying had fed all the fruit into Lu Ziren's stomach.

Lu Ziren ate very quickly. The plate of fruit was slowly eaten up as Xia Yingying fed him.

After Xia Yingying told Ping An Xi Le that they could try making kiwi fruit cake, she saw that it was almost time to pick up Lu Hao Jie from school, so she said to Lu Zi Ren, "It's getting late now, let's go to the Imperial College to pick up Hao Jie."

"Yeah." Lu Ziren ate a plate of fruit. His stomach was now cold. When he walked, the fruit in his intestines seemed to be shaking.

Xia Yingying and Lu Ziren went downstairs together and went to a place where horse-drawn carriages were parked.

Xia Yingying was just about to ask Lu Ziren which carriage he was going to take to pick up Lu Haojie.

But before Xia Yingying could say anything, Lu Ziren took the initiative to get on the carriage that he and Lu Haoran were taking to the palace.

Xia Yingying went up with her skirt lifted, perhaps because she felt that it was too crowded to be squeezed in with everyone in the morning.
