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

"Okay." Wang's simple suggestions were considered very moral.

Long before, Lu Ziren had told her that the Sixth Prince would attack her pastry shop, and she had been worried all the time. Now that it was finally coming, Xia Yingying was not so scared anymore. She thought: when the enemy comes, we will fight back. When the water comes, we will block it with earth.

Lu Ziren told her not to worry, he had already placed secret guards around the shop, and if anything happened she would be the first to know.

Wang and Xia Yingying were sitting in a carriage, while Jingjing and Lu Haojie were sitting in the same carriage.

"Sister, we want to bribe the teacher of the Imperial College. Can we succeed? Isn't it said that scholars are noble? Who knows, they might not accept such vulgar things that are full of the smell of money?" Xia Yingying was a little worried that they would run into a wall and even be kicked out, so she immediately reminded Wang.

Unexpectedly, Wang shook her head and ignored Xia Yingying's reminder.

"Sister Yingying, you really think highly of those scholars. If there is an opportunity for a good life, who among them would not be willing to shake the thread in their hearts?

But some people are really not willing to work for a few pieces of silver, and they are quite noble. However, I have not met such a gentleman so far.

The purpose of our visit is not to make them bow down, nor to ask them to do anything that is against the will of heaven and earth. We just want them to help us take care of Haojie and Jingjing. What's wrong with that? If they are willing, that's the best. If they are not willing, then forget it."

Wang was very open-minded. She didn't care whether she was willing or not. She would only know after trying.

Before Lu Haojie and Jingjing came together, they had been bullied once before, and they couldn't bear it again this time. Also, the bullying that Jingjing suffered before was not a big problem because of Lu Haojie's presence. Xia Yingying and Wang Shi have been uneasy, so they naturally have to report it to their husband.

"Sister, you are absolutely right." Xia Yingying said in agreement.

They soon arrived at the Imperial College. After getting off the car and sending Lu Haojie and Jingjing to the classroom, they went to find the teacher in the study.

Xia Yingying and Wang told the gentleman the purpose of their visit and also implied that they would like to thank him generously.

The teacher was a middle-aged man, very old-fashioned. After listening to what Xia Yingying and Wang said, he looked solemn and said a very official set of words, "Don't worry, your child is very safe in the Imperial College. The children here are all from high-ranking officials and noble families, and they all have good morals. I will report your situation to the dean. Didn't you tell the dean before? He will solve it. I am a serious person and I don't accept bribes. I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said today."

The gentleman finished speaking and raised his head proudly.

Every student in the Imperial College has a bright future, and as a teacher he cannot afford to offend any of them. It is better for him to stay out of it. He does not want to be biased and do something to offend others.

At this moment, Xia Yingying and Wang looked at each other, and both saw surprise in their eyes.

Since the gentleman had already refused, Wang and Xia Yingying did not plan to stay long, so they got up and said goodbye.

Xia Yingying was prepared that the teachers here would not help take care of some of the children. Seeing that Wang was a little disappointed, she immediately comforted her, "Sister Wang, we don't need to ask the Imperial College to take care of the two children. There are so many people in the Imperial College. In addition to the teacher, there are other people. Sometimes other people are much more useful than the teacher."

Wang was so concerned that he was confused. He knew clearly that asking the teacher to look after their children was not a feasible option, but he still bravely did it for the sake of his children.

Wang was originally very depressed after hitting a wall everywhere. When she heard Xia Yingying's words, Wang's eyes suddenly lit up. It was her fault. She was too concerned and almost got stuck in a dead end. Fortunately, Xia Yingying had a flexible mind.

"Who are you planning to look for?" Wang asked, pulling Xia Yingying aside.

"Just look for a suitable candidate in the Imperial College." Xia Yingying said to Wang, and Wang immediately followed Xia Yingying.

"But, besides you, is there anyone else who can do it? Who are you talking about? You are talking about those children, Yingying. Children are young and don't know anything. It is better for me to come to the Imperial College to guard it myself than to rely on them." Wang said.

"Sister Wang, I'm not talking about letting the children. There are other people in the academy besides teachers and students, such as gardeners, bodyguards, and people who cook in the kitchen. They can all help." Xia Yingying said to Wang.

Wang felt even more embarrassed now.

"Look at me, I forgot everything. Yingying, you are smart." Wang smiled awkwardly.

"Sister, you just forgot. Let's go find someone."

So the two of them wandered around the Imperial College, and Xia Yingying saw a gardener tending to flowers and plants in the garden.

After telling him their request, the old man was a little scared. He just came here to make money, not to cause trouble.

Xia Yingying promised him that she would not implicate him, and only asked him to inform Lu Haojie and Jingjing if they were in trouble, and she would not care about anything else. In addition, Xia Yingying gave a lot of money, so the gardener was tempted and agreed without much talk.

"Okay, Sister Wang, you should be relieved now." After the two of them had been busy for a long time, Xia Yingying said this to Wang.

"I feel relieved." The main purpose of coming here has been achieved, how can I not feel relieved.

"By the way, where are you going later? Do you want to go with me to the theater to listen to opera? Recently, a new female actor has joined the troupe. She sings very beautifully, especially the one called Peony Pavilion. It made me cry." Wang invited Xia Yingying warmly and enthusiastically recommended her her favorite opera.

The Peony Pavilion? Could it be the one played by Liu Qingyao?

"What can we do about the beautiful scenery? Who would want to enjoy such a happy time? Is this it?" Xia Yingying asked doubtfully.

"Oh, sister Yingying, you have seen it. I thought you hadn't, so I was planning to invite you to go. But I have seen it many times. If you have time, you can go and listen to it again. Anyway, you have nothing to do, you might as well go and listen to some opera and see some beauties." When Wang said this, she didn't look like a lady from a wealthy family at all. Instead, she looked like a shrewish woman who grew up among the common people. She was completely different from the noble lady Xia Yingying had imagined.

"I won't go. I've heard before that the fruits in the warehouse are not ready yet. I plan to take a look today. If there are any dried fruits ready, I will have them sent to the pastry shop to sell. Sister Wang, do you like dried fruits? I will send you two bags when the time comes."

"Okay, then I won't keep you any longer. I like dried fruits, and I won't be polite with you. I'll just take them and not give you any money." Wang said casually.

"Don't be so polite. I took advantage of you a lot, but you didn't even bother with me. These are just a few bags of dried fruit."

The two chatted and laughed, and got into their respective carriages. Xia Yingying asked the driver to go to the pier, while Wang went to the theater in the city center.

After getting on the carriage, Xia Yingying went straight to the warehouse.

The person in charge in the warehouse immediately came over to greet her when he saw Xia Yingying coming.

After Xia Yingying entered the warehouse, the workers worked even harder.

Those who worked hard have already received a day's salary. Some of them were a little lazy the day before, but they dared not be too lazy because their indentures were still in Xia Yingying's hands. If they acted too blatantly and were sold out, their fate would be even worse. Some of those who worked hard yesterday received less money than those who performed mediocrely. They were skeptical about what Xia Yingying said, but they still had the mentality of giving it a try. It would be even better if they could become good families. "Please vote"
