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

Lu Yuwei was silent for a long time after hearing what Xia Yingying said. She knew that what she had now was something some girls could never get in their entire lives.

What Xia Yingying said also made sense. The medical technology she was learning was good, but medical skills could cure diseases and save lives. Her life was not just about work, there were other things. Life was long, and there was nothing wrong with learning more knowledge. Sometimes, reading more and learning more knowledge could actually broaden one's horizons. Life would also be richer.

She is now standing on the shoulders of "giants" and should make good use of these resources instead of acting arbitrarily.

After realizing this, Lu Yuwei no longer refused, but she really didn't want to go to those pedantic schools that were set up specifically for boys.

"Mom, I'm willing to go to school, but you have to promise me that I really don't want to go to a school that only teaches pedantic things."

Lu Yuwei said to Xia Yingying.

"Well, okay, I'll look for a suitable school for you to attend."

Xia Yingying knew nothing about the academies in the capital. She only knew two famous ones. One was the Imperial Academy where Lu Haoran was currently studying, which served the royal family. The other was the Imperial Academy, which provided schooling opportunities for the children of high-ranking officials. She really knew nothing about the others.

But since Lu Yuwei wants to find a school suitable for girls to attend, it must be very difficult.

There was no precedent of women serving as officials in Daliang, which shows that women's education was not given much attention to a large extent.

That means there will be even fewer good women's colleges, or even none at all.

Xia Yingying told Lu Yuwei about her speculation in order not to disappoint Lu Yuwei.

"Because I see there is no precedent for women serving as officials in the capital, which means there are very few academies set up specifically for women in Daliang. I will go look for it first. If I can find one, that would be great. If not, you can only go to the Imperial Academy to study, or I can hire a special female teacher to come to my house to teach you. Is that okay?"

After hearing what Xia Yingying said, Lu Yuwei's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she finally nodded. "Okay."

Seeing that Lu Yuwei agreed, Xia Yingying paused and continued.

"Xiao Wei, since you made a mistake, there must be a punishment. Can you accept it?"

When Lu Yuwei heard the word "punishment", she did not rebel, but nodded silently, "I know, Mom, I will accept any punishment."

Punishing a child by not eating? This is wrong. This is not a punishment, it is abuse. Lu Yuwei is still developing physically. If she accidentally ruins her body by not eating, wouldn't that be a loss?

Punishment: deduct pocket money? Copy books?

Kneel in the ancestral hall?

But there is no ancestral temple at home to kneel in?

Xia Yingying still thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't think of a more appropriate punishment measure.

"As for the punishment, when your father comes back later, I will discuss it with him and we will decide on it." Xia Yingying said.

"Okay." Lu Yuwei now agreed to whatever Xia Yingying said.

Xia Yingying sat here for a while waiting for the veterinarian to help look after the kitten. The veterinarian was a relatively young man. When he arrived, he saluted Xia Yingying and asked, "Madam, how was the pet injured?"

"Just now, I was practicing acupuncture and used silver needles to prick the acupoints of several cats. I hope you can help check if I have hurt them?" Xia Yingying expressed her request at the side.

The veterinarian did not show much surprise after hearing what Xia Yingying said. Instead, he held the two kittens in his arms and began to examine them.

When the cats first came into contact with strangers, they were a little scared and huddled up in a small ball, trembling. However, the veterinarian had more contact with animals and was very skilled. He scratched the sensitive parts of the two kittens, and when the cats relaxed their vigilance, he quickly examined the two kittens.

When Xia Yingying saw the veterinarian put the kitten down, she asked, "How is the kitten? Is it okay?"

The veterinarian shook his head and said, "The two kittens are very healthy. The young lady inserted the needle very accurately and steadily. The two kittens were not harmed. Don't worry, ma'am."

"Well, thank you, doctor. Xiaochun, please send the doctor out." Xia Yingying instructed Xiaochun.

"Yes," Xiaochun sent the veterinarian out and paid the money he owed to the veterinarian for the treatment.

Xia Yingying heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the kitten was fine.

After finally checking that the kitten was fine, Lu Haojie wouldn't have a bad fight with Lu Yuwei when he came back.

"Xiao Wei, you keep busy here. I'll go back first." It wasn't a good idea for Xia Yingying to stay here for a long time, so she left, and when she left, she took Lu Haojie's two kittens with her.

Xia Yingying had no idea what would happen next, but with her and Lu Ziren around, she thought Lu Haojie would not cause any big trouble.

After Lu Ziren finished his shift, he immediately rushed back into the house. When he returned to the room, he found that Xia Yingying was not there. After hearing from the maid that Xia Yingying had gone to Lu Yuwei's room, Lu Ziren did not go to look for her. Instead, he sat on Xia Yingying's desk and flipped through the storybooks that Xia Yingying was reading.

"Madam, the general has returned." Xiao Xia said immediately when she saw Xia Yingying coming back.

Lu Ziren, who was sitting in Xia Yingying's seat, heard that Xia Yingying had come back, and immediately put the script back in its place, pretending that he had not touched it.

When Xia Yingying saw Lu Ziren coming back, she immediately told him about Lu Yuwei's experiment on Lu Haojie's kitten today.

"Although Xiaowei said that what she did was wrong and I have verbally reprimanded her, I still don't know how to punish her specifically. I'm waiting for you to come back and discuss it with you."

Xia Yingying was worried about the punishment measures. Lu Ziren was Lu Yuwei's father, and it was always better for two people to think together than alone.

“Isn’t it easy to punish someone? Let her practice boxing 50 times, or let her squat in a horse stance for two hours and run 30 laps around the mansion. With such physical punishment, it would be difficult for her to forget it even if she wants to.” Lu Ziren said with a relaxed look.

But Xia Yingying couldn't help but stare at Lu Ziren with horror.

This is not a punishment, this is a death sentence for Lu Yuwei.

"Is Xiaowei your daughter? How could you bear to treat her like this?" Xia Yingying looked at Lu Ziren and said in shock.

"She is my daughter, but not my biological daughter. Since the child made a mistake, she must be severely punished. Otherwise, what if she makes the same mistake again next time?" Lu Ziren didn't think that the punishment he gave Lu Yuwei was very strict.

Xia Yingying couldn't bear it any longer. She slapped Lu Ziren's hand heavily and said, "Xiao Wei is a girl. She has never learned martial arts. She definitely can't keep up with the physical strength. If she could run 30 laps in the mansion, she would probably be dead. Not to mention that you have made other more demanding requirements. You are not punishing her, you are definitely trying to kill her."

After hearing what Xia Yingying said, Lu Ziren looked at her with a dazed expression.

"Yingying, don't be angry. This is how I train soldiers in the military camp. I subconsciously blurted out what you just said about how to punish her. So, in your opinion, how can we better punish her?" Seeing that Xia Yingying was angry, Lu Ziren immediately touched Xia Yingying's hand with his backhand, and asked Xia Yingying carefully to comfort her. "Please vote"
