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

Although Xia Xinsen knew some rogue methods, he was still too inexperienced to deal with a smart man like the Fat Butler who had a thousand tricks in a deep mansion. Xia Xinsen was fooled by the Fat Butler in just a few words.

"You also said that my master wants you to keep a low profile in the mansion, and when he needs you, you will get a lot of rewards. Now you go to disturb our master and interrupt him from doing his work. Who knows, he will deduct your reward."

When Xia Xinsen heard that his reward would be deducted if he disturbed the Sixth Prince, he immediately gave up the idea.

"Okay, thank you for your help then." Xia Xinsen said as he handed the two copper coins in his hand to the fat butler.

He still felt the pain, as he could have used two copper coins to make a small bet.

The fat steward suddenly had two more copper coins in his hand, and his face twitched slightly, but he had seen a lot of things. Seeing the two copper coins, he still smiled and bowed to the trust in himself, saying, "Don't worry, I will always observe whether the master is free. If he is free, I will tell him the first time and let him come to you."

"Thank you, butler." Xia Xinsen showed his big yellow teeth and thanked the fat butler.

"Yingying, you don't like the gift I gave you. If you don't like it, next time I will go to the jewelry store with you and you can choose what you like." Lu Ziren said tentatively.

He wanted to go shopping with Xia Yingying...

Xia Yingying was stunned by Lu Ziren's words.

Did she show that she didn't like the gift Lu Ziren gave her?

Do I have to express my love exaggeratedly with my eyes shining, to be considered as liking someone?

"I really like it, but I'm not pretending to like it."

Xia Yingying explained helplessly in pale words.

Xia Yingying didn't know how to explain it. After a pause, she said, "I'll wear it tomorrow. It's a good opportunity for you to see how it works on me."

"Okay." Lu Ziren regretted what he had said just now when he saw Xia Yingying's originally happy face suddenly become powerless in order to coax him.

During dinner, Xia Yingying and Lu Ziren went out to the restaurant one after the other. Because Xia Yingying promised Lu Haojie not to tell everyone about him bringing the cat to the Imperial College today, the dinner table was relatively quiet today, with only occasional voices, and everyone left after dinner.

Before going to bed, Xia Yingying washed up and lay directly on the bed. Seeing this, Lu Ziren immediately asked Xia Yingying, "Did you forget to apply your ointment?"

When Xia Yingying heard Lu Ziren's words, her body stiffened slightly, and then she immediately smiled and waved her hand, "My wounds have healed a lot, and they will be healed tomorrow. The scars have already formed, so there is no need to apply any ointment."

"If you are injured, you should apply medicine. Don't be afraid of the trouble. Applying ointment will help the wound heal faster." Lu Ziren looked at Xia Yingying with gentle eyes, as if he was looking at a furry child.

Xia Yingying felt extremely embarrassed, but she also knew that Lu Ziren was doing this for her own good, so she said, "I can apply it myself."

"I'll help you. Don't be embarrassed. We are husband and wife." Lu Ziren took the ointment and came over to help Xia Yingying apply it. When Xia Yingying heard this, her face turned red instantly.

"No...no need. I can apply it myself." Xia Yingying said stutteringly.

After hearing Xia Yingying's refusal, Lu Ziren's face became tense and his body was in a very low mood.

"Are we going to remain so distant from each other forever?" Lu Ziren asked Xia Yingying bitterly.

Xia Yingying looked at Lu Ziren's aggrieved face, lowered her eyes, and then spoke.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Lu Ziren walked up to Xia Yingying, squatted down, and rolled up Xia Yingying's trouser legs. Xia Yingying's wounds, which were red and swollen due to friction, were exposed nakedly in front of Xia Yingying and Lu Ziren.

Because of the ointment applied earlier, the wound has slowly begun to heal, with some black blood clots and tender flesh now visible.

Lu Ziren scooped out a lump of ointment with his hand. Seeing this, Xia Yingying turned her head away. She didn't dare to look, nor did she want to look. If Lu Ziren saw her face, she was afraid that she would be even more embarrassed.

The distance between her and Lu Ziren was so close that she could hardly breathe.

Perhaps it was because the two were too close, their heartbeats at this moment were unusually clear, thumping like the beating of drums.

Lu Ziren didn't dare to look at Xia Yingying, and Xia Yingying did the same.

The moment Lu Ziren approached, Xia Yingying's face and ears turned red like a sunset glow.

Before Xia Yingying could react, the cold ointment was pressed on her wound.

Lu Ziren was very careful when applying the ointment to Xia Yingying. Although he applied the ointment quickly, Xia Yingying felt like 1 years had passed in just a few seconds.

In particular, Lu Ziren's fingers were warm, but after touching her wound, she could clearly feel the temperature of Lu Ziren's fingers rising rapidly, and the ointment on his fingers felt as if it was about to melt. The wound touched by Lu Ziren felt itchy, as if it had been burned by fire.

Lu Ziren applied the ointment very carefully, but as he was next to Xia Yingying, he could clearly smell the fresh fragrance coming from Xia Yingying's body, as well as Xia Yingying's steady yet somewhat rapid breathing. At that moment, Lu Ziren's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by Xia Yingying, and then suddenly loosened, and the whole person felt as exciting as if he was on a roller coaster.

Xia Yingying felt that the distance between them was too close, and couldn't help but ask Lu Ziren to apply the ointment faster so that she could go to bed.

Before Xia Yingying could say anything, Lu Ziren had already applied two layers of ointment on the wound.

Lu Ziren withdrew his hand, left the bed as if escaping, and ran to wash his hands.

Lu Yurou, Lu Yuwei, Lu Haojie and Lu Haoran were playing with the cat in the side room, and it was almost time to go to bed. Lu Yuwei knew that Lu Yurou slept with Xia Yingying and the others at night, so she sent Lu Yurou to Lu Ziren and Xia Yingying's room.

Before entering, Lu Yuwei knocked on the door first.

The ointment on Xia Yingying's legs had not dried yet, and Xia Yingying's legs were exposed. Lu Ziren heard a knock on the door and opened it.

"What happened to Xiaowei?"

"Mom, Arou is sleepy and wants to sleep, so I brought her to you." Lu Yuwei said.

"Xiaowei, bring Arou over here." Xia Yingying waved to Lu Yuwei, moved a seat outside, and pointed to the place where Lu Yurou often slept.

Lu Yuwei put Lu Yurou in her place and then looked at Xia Yingying's legs. She asked distressedly, "Mom, are your legs okay?"

"Well, it's much better. The scars should be all healed by tomorrow." Xia Yingying said.

"Does it still hurt?" Lu Yuwei asked worriedly.

Xia Yingying's heart softened. She shook her head gently, "It doesn't hurt. I'm fine now. Thank you, Xiaowei. It's getting late. You should go to bed."

Lu Yuwei also knew that there was nothing she could do. Xia Yingying had Qin Qingfeng's ointment, so she would recover quickly.

"Well, mother, you should also rest early."

Lu Yurou had no idea what was going on in the room at the time. She only knew that she was sleepy and wanted to go to bed.

"Mom, I'm sleepy." Lu Yurou rubbed her eyes, which were half closed.

"Come here, bring some water for the young lady to wash up." Xia Yingying ordered from the side, and soon the maids brought up the water and utensils for washing up to help Lu Yurou wash up. Lu Yurou quickly washed up and lay down on the bed. Not long after lying down, she fell asleep like a dead pig. Xia Yingying couldn't help laughing when she saw how fast Lu Yurou fell asleep.

"The child's sleep quality is really good. Look how long it has been. He can fall asleep right after climbing into bed."

"Yes, the world of children is quite simple." Lu Ziren said with a smile.

"When I was in Qingshui County, my family kicked me out. At that time, I didn't know what that meant. At night, I curled up on the floor and finally fell asleep peacefully.

But after that, since I joined the army, I had a bed to sleep on and food to eat, but I had to kill enemies all the time. Every day I dreamed of corpses and blood. I couldn’t sleep well, as if countless wronged souls were seeking revenge on me..." "Please vote"
