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

When they came out, Xia Yingying took the initiative to hold Lu Ziren's hand. It was not until they were outside and felt the cool breeze that Xia Yingying realized that she and Lu Ziren were still holding hands.

She came out in a hurry and forgot to take the hand warmer from the carriage. The hand that was not held by Lu Ziren was exposed to the air and had become cold. However, the hand that was held by Lu Ziren was still very warm.

Xia Yingying's jade-white face suddenly turned red.

She quickly pulled away Lu Ziren's hand.

Xia Yingying's movements were too violent, and Lu Ziren looked at her in some surprise.

"What's wrong? Aren't you cold?" Lu Ziren raised his head and asked, but his hand was tightly holding Xia Yingying's little hand.

Xia Yingying tried to struggle, but found she couldn't get free, so she just let it go.

"Nothing... nothing..." Xia Yingying stuttered.

"I heard that the plum garden here is very nice. Let's go and have a look together."

"Okay... okay." Xia Yingying agreed casually.

Qingshui County.

"Where on earth did Xia Xinsen go? We have sent people out to look for him, but we couldn't find him. He is definitely not in Qingshui County. I also asked someone in Qingshui Town, but he didn't go back either. Could it be that he really went to the capital to look for my little sister?"

Xia Dawei turned Xia Xinsen's house upside down because he didn't find any valuables, but he did get nearly two or three taels of silver. It had been seven or eight days since the last incident.

They had already searched everywhere they could, but they still couldn't find Xia Xinsen, as if Xia Xinsen had disappeared from the world.

"Madam, let's write a letter and have someone send it to the capital to tell my sister and brother-in-law about this. If Xia Xinsen really comes to the capital, they will be prepared if they meet Xia Xinsen later."

"What you said is that once we get to the capital tomorrow, we might get into some serious trouble for our sisters. It's better to notify them in advance so that they can send people to investigate openly and secretly. Who knows, they might be able to save something in advance."

Although Bai Qingmiao knew that being a high-ranking official was very prestigious, she was not a child and only saw the prestigious side. Although being an official in the capital was prestigious, it was also dangerous everywhere and one could lose his life if he was not careful.

Bai Qingmiao took out his son's pen, ink, paper and inkstone, quickly wrote a letter, puffed out his cheeks to blow dry, and asked Xia Dawei to send a few extra letters to the post station and mail them out overnight.

No one knew where Xia Xinsen went, but Qin Qingfeng followed the team that actually arrived in the capital.

Qin Qingfeng announced to the public that he came to the mansion to find Steward Lin. He and Steward Lin were distant relatives and he was the only one left there, so he came to seek refuge with Steward Lin.

Qin Qingfeng had been following Rong's instructions all the way and didn't dare to change his appearance easily, especially in the capital, so when he appeared in front of the general's mansion.

"Young man, please inform me that I am a distant relative of Steward Lin, and I have come to seek refuge with him this time."

The gatekeeper was very familiar with Steward Lin, and he also knew that Steward Lin had no relatives in the countryside. Now he was completely alone. Who was this person who came to Steward Lin for help?

"Wait, I'll go and inform you." Although he was confused, the gatekeeper still had to ask Butler Lin for instructions, just in case the other people who came to the mansion were just borrowing Butler Lin's orders.

When Steward Lin heard that someone claiming to be a distant relative was looking for him, he was slightly stunned, but thinking that he might be looking for the general, he followed the man out.

When Butler Lin arrived at the door, he saw a man about his age, with an ordinary appearance, a face he had never seen before.

Qin Qingfeng saw Steward Lin and spoke first.

"I guess you are Steward Lin. I was Xia Yingying's neighbor in Qingshui County. All my relatives are gone now. I want to find a job in the capital. I heard Xia Yingying say that if there is anything, I can come to the general's mansion to find her, so I followed her here. Is there anything suitable for me in your mansion?"

Qin Qingfeng did not tell Uncle Lin his true identity, but moved his ID card to a neighbor who was looking for cooperation. Uncle Lin looked at the person who came, although he was confused, he also knew that this person might be looking for Lu Ziren. So he immediately took him to the mansion.

After entering the mansion.

Qin Qingfeng saw Song Ruyi taking Lu Yurou to play on the swing next to them, while Lu Yuwei was standing beside them.

"Xiaowei, I'm here." Qin Qingfeng saw Song Ruyi pushing Lu Yurou on the swing and stared at the woman intently.

But he couldn't call Song Ruyi's name directly, so someone else called Lu Yuwei.

When Lu Yuwei heard someone calling her name, she looked up in surprise, only to see an old man in his forties or fifties following behind Uncle Lin. He had an ordinary face with many black moles on it, but he looked unrecognizable. Lu Yuwei really didn't know who this person was, but her voice sounded familiar. Was this... her master, Qin Qingfeng?

Song Ruyi also felt that the voice was familiar and looked towards Qin Qingfeng, but when she saw that ordinary face, she immediately looked away.

"Xiao Wei, this is so strange. I seemed to hear Qin Qingfeng's voice just now. Did you hear it?"

"Grandma, I heard it. I thought I was overthinking it, but you will know it later, grandma."

Lu Yuwei has been waiting for Qin Qingfeng's arrival these days. The letter has been written for several days. According to the normal travel time, Qin Qingfeng should be here in the next few days.

But she didn't know why Qin Qingfeng hadn't come yet. She was worried that Qin Qingfeng might have met with an accident on the way. But now seeing Qin Qingfeng appear in front of her intact, Lu Yuwei's hanging heart was put down.

Now that she knew that the person behind this strange mask was the master she had been waiting for for so long, how could she not be excited.

"Master...Uncle." Lu Yuwei wanted to greet Qin Qingfeng, but held back.

She didn't know much about Qin Qingfeng's past, but Qin Qingfeng came in disguise, so he must have some unspeakable secrets, and she couldn't cause trouble for Qin Qingfeng.

When Mr. Lin heard Lu Yuwei's affectionate address to the old man in front of him, he knew that this man must be someone his wife and the general had been friends with in Qingshui County. He also had a rough plan in his mind about where to place Qin Qingfeng.

Uncle Lin took Qin Qingfeng to a room.

After Qin Qingfeng was brought there, he didn't say much. He just thought about how to tell Sun Ruyi.

But I really want to talk to Song Ruyi more.

Qin Qingfeng became timid.

He was afraid that Song Ruyi would treat him as if he had seen a mouse when she saw him, so he didn't dare to approach him.

When it was time for dinner, Qin Qingfeng did not eat with Song Ruyi and the others. According to his current status, it was impossible for him to eat at the same table with Song Ruyi and the others.

If they were desk mates, that would be a big problem, wouldn't his identity be exposed?

Meanwhile, Wang and Huang Zhengming decided not to carry out private punishment and to resolve the issue through normal channels. If they did not get a satisfactory result, they would resort to extraordinary measures.

"If Huang Zhengwen dares to protect his daughter, I will report it to His Majesty and tell the people of the world everything he said and did so that they can see what kind of face he really has."

Huang Zhengming had a ferocious expression and spoke very fiercely.

"Remember your words." Wang said.

Because Xia Yingying and Lu Ziren were having dinner here today, the kitchen cooked a lot of dishes, including both meat and vegetables. This was Xia Yingying's first time eating someone else's food, and it was actually quite nice to change the taste occasionally, especially the fish head tofu soup in front of her, which tasted very good. Xia Yingying couldn't help but drink three small bowls, and didn't even eat much rice.

Wang saw that Xia Yingying liked it, so she said to her, "Sister Yingying, if you like this fish head tofu soup, come to the mansion and I'll ask someone to make it for you when you want it."

Xia Yingying blushed slightly, then nodded.

"Okay." "Please vote"
