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

Xia Yingying was afraid that Xia Xinsen would go to one of the pastry shops to cause trouble, so she closed both pastry shops. For some customers, they could order and have someone come to pick up the pastry shop, which would completely prevent Xia Xinsen from causing trouble in the pastry shop and causing huge losses.

"Well, if you don't want to go out, then don't go out. Your store is closed now, so why should I go out?"

Song Ruyi was not particularly interested in leaving the house. To her, it didn't make much difference whether she left the house or not.

Most of the time I help Xia Yingying take care of the baby.

When Xia Yingying saw that Song Ruyi agreed, she immediately felt relieved. After the matter was over, she would tell Song Ruyi the truth of the whole matter.

By that time, everything must have been calm.

When Lu Ziren came back, he smelled a strong scent of Chinese medicine in the house.

"Didn't you say you weren't injured? Why are you boiling Chinese medicine in the yard now?"

The secret guard was also shocked by this sudden situation. He was clearly watching from the side. Xia Yingying was indeed not hurt at all. As for boiling Chinese medicine, he had no idea what was going on.

"I don't know, but I certainly didn't see Madam injured."

Lu Ziren no longer had the patience to listen to the secret guard's explanation. He immediately used his lightness skills to quickly return to his courtyard.

Lu Ziren walked towards the place where the smell of Chinese medicine was strong. As soon as he entered the small kitchen, he saw Xia Yingying, Song Ruyi and Lu Yurou busy in the kitchen.

"Yingying, are you injured anywhere? Is it serious? Does it hurt? Have you seen a doctor? What did Doctor Qin say?"

Before Xia Yingying could react, Lu Ziren's words came at her in a barrage of words, and Xia Yingying was stunned.

"I... I'm fine. I'm not injured. This is not medicine. This is the fruit tea I was going to sell in the pastry shop."

When Lu Ziren heard Xia Yingying say this, he immediately felt relieved.

"That's good, I thought you were injured."

Xia Yingying felt very warm in her heart because of Lu Ziren and Song Ruyi's care.

"No, I'm not hurt. I'm sorry for making you worry."

"It's okay. By the way, since you want to make fruit tea, how about letting me taste it?"

Because Xia Yingying was always busy with her own things, Lu Ziren originally didn't intend to disturb her, but over time they had less and less topics to talk about, so Lu Ziren decided to take the initiative to join Xia Yingying's daily work life and let his voice fill every moment of Xia Yingying's life. In this way, he could gain time to spend with Xia Yingying, and Xia Yingying would get used to his presence.

"There's something I just made on the table. You can try it and put the ones you think taste good aside, and the ones you don't like on the other side. It would be even better if you could write down your thoughts." Seeing that Lu Ziren wanted to help, Xia Yingying gave Lu Ziren instructions without any hesitation.

"Okay." Lu Ziren didn't feel embarrassed at all when he saw Xia Yingying. Instead, he felt very relaxed. This showed that in Xia Yingying's heart, she actually cared about him and treated him as a family member.

Lu Ziren curled up the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that came from the heart.

Lu Ziren picked up the fruit tea made by Xia Yingying and tasted it cup by cup. Each cup tasted different.

Some are slightly bitter, some are slightly sweet and some are slightly sour. It can be said that there are all kinds of flavors.

Lu Ziren also asked someone to bring paper and pen, and seriously wrote down his thoughts on the fruit tea he drank on the table and placed them next to each teacup. This way, if Xia Yingying wanted to know what each fruit tea tasted like in his mouth, she could know immediately by just looking at the notes.

Xia Yingying put all the fruit tea on the table, tasted it herself, and wrote down her thoughts.

After a while, people from the mansion also arrived. Xia Yingying distributed the fruit tea to everyone in the mansion and asked them to write down their thoughts after drinking it, which was considered a market research.

"Uncle Lin, I need your help with something. I want to sell fruit tea in my store. Please distribute the fruit teas with numbers on them. Ask them to write down the numbers of each fruit tea on a piece of paper and collect them. I will see which tea is more popular."

From the development of fruit tea to its launch on the market, there must be some inspection standards. Xia Yingying doesn't know what people here like to drink. She doesn't want to waste too much time and energy, and end up making a lot but not selling any of it, so the best solution is to try it on a small scale first and see the feedback before selling it.

"Don't worry, ma'am. I promise to help you."

Uncle Lin and his apprentice brought the fruit tea made by Xia Yingying and distributed it to the people in the mansion.

"Yingying, I've finished writing it." Lu Ziren wrote down his ideas and put them on the table. Xia Yingying couldn't help but pick it up and look at the words on it.

Lu Ziren wrote in great detail and truthfully, without any exaggeration.

Lu Ziren's taste is different from hers. He thinks that tea with a little chrysanthemum can cool down and relieve heat, which is very suitable for him.

But Song Ruyi likes to drink sour flavors.

Lu Yuwei likes to drink the one with more cherry tomatoes and more fruit, so that the fruity aroma will be stronger.

Xia Yingying was originally worried that the taste of the teas would be strange and no one would like them, but she didn't expect that after letting others drink them, all the flavors were loved by everyone.

At this moment, Xia Yingying put aside her prejudice and just waited for the results of the fruit tea testing in the mansion tomorrow. If many people liked it, she would sell those teas in a cake shop. If other flavors were not liked by many people, she would sell less in the cake shop. In this way, she could adjust the production of fruit tea according to market feedback.

Xia Yingying already had a measurement in her mind, and the people around her had also finished testing the tastes, so it was almost time for dinner.

Lu Haojie and Lu Haoran came back at the same time, and when they came back they also heard the discussions on the street.

But Lu Haoran told Lu Haojie in advance to wait until Xia Yingying or Lu Ziren brought it up before talking about it, otherwise it would hurt them.

Although Lu Haojie wanted to speak quickly, he held back after hearing what Lu Haoran said.

At the dinner table, Lu Haojie buried his head in eating a few mouthfuls of rice, and then put a few pieces of meat in the bowl. Finally, while eating the rice, he looked up at Xia Yingying for several times in a row, with an expression that seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Xia Yingying naturally sensed it. Seeing that Lu Haojie really wanted to say something to her, she asked, "Haojie, what happened? Just say whatever you want to say."

Lu Haojie took another look at Song Ruyi who was eating with an ignorant look on her face, and then said to Xia Yingying.

"Mom, there is a rumor circulating on the street today. Do you know that person is coming?"

Lu Haojie knew that Song Ruyi was very sensitive about Xia Xinsen, so he did not directly mention Xia Xinsen's name at the dinner table.

Who, who is here, Xia Xinsen?

Fortunately, Lu Haojie didn't say it directly on the spot, but the guy looked so reserved. Was he worried that the hooks he had placed were not enough?

Xia Yingying's face changed, and she glanced at Lu Haojie, signaling him not to speak. Only then did Lu Haojie realize that he had gotten into big trouble, so he kept silent. "Please vote"
