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

When Xia Yingying heard the conversation between the two maids, she was stunned for a moment.

In her impression, Lu Yuwei has always been a good girl. Even when she was learning medicine, she was always diligent and studious. She was also very caring towards her younger brothers and sisters. But now she heard from the maid that Lu Yuwei had used silver needles to prick mice in order to learn acupuncture, and now she was using acupuncture on Lu Haojie's kitten. Lu Yuwei must know that if she used silver needles to prick Lu Haojie's kitten, Lu Haojie would definitely quarrel with her.

Is she "blackened"?

Xia Yingying originally didn't want to get involved in the affairs between the siblings, but as their mother, if one of them was wrong, she would definitely stand up and point out the mistake and not let it continue.

What if she accidentally lets things take their course and ends up instilling wrong ideas into Lu Yuwei, which ends up harming Lu Yuwei? Wouldn't she be held responsible then?

Although she was not entirely satisfied with what the maid said, she also had to believe it. Xia Yingying decided to go to Lu Yuwei's yard to take a look in person.

When Xia Yingying came to Lu Yuwei's room, Lu Yuwei had already given the cat several injections. The cat was still very small, and because the cat had hair, Lu Yuwei had shaved the cat's hair to avoid pricking it incorrectly. The cat, which was originally furry and very cute, now became bald. The beige fur on the cat's skin looked a little weird, especially when the cat meowed weakly, it looked particularly pitiful.

Although both cats had their fur shaved by Lu Yuwei, Xia Yingying personally handed the cats to Lu Haojie, so she naturally knew that the two cats in Lu Yuwei's hands were Lu Haojie's cats.

What the maids said was right, Lu Yuwei used Lu Haojie's cat to practice acupuncture.

At first, the two cats sensed the danger and cried out very loudly, but when Lu Yuwei inserted the needle into the cats' bodies, the cats did not react at all. In the end, they gradually calmed down, but they continued to meow.

When Lu Yuwei inserted another needle into the kitten's body, Xia Yingying suddenly spoke.

"Yuwei, this cat belongs to Haojie, right?"

When Lu Yuwei heard Xia Yingying's voice, her body trembled, and the silver needle in her hand also began to tremble.

Xia Yingying looked at the silver needle shaking in Lu Yuwei's hand and felt a little nervous.

Fortunately, she did not suddenly stop Lu Yuwei when she was giving the kitten the injection, otherwise the injection would probably have crippled the kitten.

"Mom..." When Lu Yuwei saw Xia Yingying coming, she immediately reached out to hide the kitten in panic, but Xia Yingying had already seen it, so she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to.

Besides, the two kittens still had needles stuck in their bodies. If they moved easily, they might be hurt. She had already felt very sorry for Lu Haojie by using his cats for the experiment. If she hurt or disabled his two kittens, her brother-sister relationship would probably end here. Thinking of this, Lu Yuwei retracted her outstretched hand.

But he still stood in front of the two tied kittens, blocking Xia Yingying's view, like a blind man.

Xia Yingying watched Lu Yuwei trying to cover up her mistake and sat on a stool next to Lu Yuwei. The stool was closest to the two kittens, so Lu Yuwei couldn't stop her even if she wanted to.

Xia Yingying sat down and pointed at the two tied kittens and asked, "What are you doing? Does Haojie know? Do you have his permission?"

Xia Yingying spoke in a calm tone, but Lu Yuwei kept her head down.

As soon as Xia Yingying finished speaking, Lu Yuwei whispered, "No, Haojie doesn't know."

"Can you tell me why you use Haojie's cat for acupuncture?" Xia Yingying asked patiently.

When educating children, you cannot criticize them without knowing the reasons. You must find out the ultimate crux of the problem.

"I originally wanted to use my kitten, but I was worried that my kitten would get hurt, so I used Haojie's kitten." Lu Yuwei spoke in a low voice. She knew that this was not a very kind approach, but she did it anyway.

Well, okay, Lu Yuwei was afraid of hurting her own kitten so she used her brother's kitten. If Lu Haojie knew about this, he would probably be furious.

So, is Lu Yuwei relying on her status as the elder sister to deliberately exploit Lu Haojie? Is this the legendary bullying of the weak by the strong?

That won’t work.

Lu Yuwei's cat is a cat, and Lu Haojie's cat is also a cat. There is no fundamental difference between the two cats, and neither one is more noble.

Lu Yuwei's idea and approach are wrong.

"If Haojie were here, would he use his kitten to give you acupuncture?" Xia Yingying continued to ask.

"No." Lu Yuwei shook her head.

"You knew it wouldn't happen, but you still did it. Aren't you afraid of hurting Lu Haojie's feelings?" Xia Yingying said.

When Lu Yuwei heard what Xia Yingying said, she immediately explained, "I won't hurt the kitten. I've used pig skin before and I'm very familiar with it. I can insert the needles very accurately now and it won't hurt the kitten. The kitten cried at first because it was scared, but they stopped crying later, didn't they? I know Haojie won't give me the kitten to practice acupuncture..."

When she said the last sentence, Lu Yuwei suddenly stopped. She knew that her reason was untenable. At the beginning, she was not sure that she could stab so accurately, right? In the final analysis, she was afraid that her kitten would suffer, so she deliberately used Lu Haojie's kitten.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuwei hung her head, looking extremely regretful.

"Xiao Wei, you have always been very sensible at home, but what you did today was wrong. Your cat and your brother's cat are both cats, and no one's cat is more precious. You feel sorry for your cat being hurt, and Lu Haojie will also feel sorry for his cat being hurt. You can't pass on the responsibility of bearing all the consequences to others just because you feel sorry for your cat. I know you used cats to practice in order to learn acupuncture, but I hope that no matter what you do in the future, you can think from the perspective of others.

Your brother has the right to know about this matter, and I will not hide it for you."

Even if Xia Yingying wanted to conceal this matter, she couldn't. Today, the cat has become a topic of gossip in the whole mansion. Even if Lu Haojie didn't intend to ask, he must have heard some rumors. If he knew from others afterwards that his sister used his cat for acupuncture and asked his mother to hide it from him, and even everyone in the mansion concealed it from him, then it would not be a matter of hurting a child.

Having said that, Lu Yuwei must have understood, so Xia Yingying didn't want to say more.

"Yeah." Lu Yuwei nodded in response.

"Hurry up and untie the cat and take out the needle. Xiaoxia, go get a veterinarian to see if the kitten is okay." Xia Yingying instructed.
