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

Lu Ziren was quick to stop Xia Xinsen and kicked the dagger that Xia Xinsen was holding tightly to the side.

Xia Xinsen was stunned. "I chose to break up. Isn't that good for both you and me? Why are you trying to stop me?"

The people who watched the whole process were also full of question marks about Lu Ziren's decision.

Xia Xinsen had been planning to kill both his wife and his mother-in-law, but now he is sparing his life. What is he trying to do?

"Your actions will be investigated by the government. Besides, it is not for me to decide the crimes you committed. Only the government can judge this matter and resolve it when it is fair and just. You don't need to dirty my hands at all."

As soon as Lu Ziren finished speaking, the onlookers suddenly realized what was going on. The general was indeed a general, and his thoughts were far more far-reaching than those ordinary people.

They would definitely resolve this private grudge among themselves without saying anything, and would never let the government intervene.

Xia Xinsen is now desperate. Naturally, he wants to be released as soon as possible so that he doesn't have to be interrogated or tortured. I heard that life in prison is not easy at all.

But now Xia Xinsen can accept everything calmly, because in his opinion, everything he is suffering now is his retribution.

So when Lu Ziren kicked his dagger aside, Xia Xinsen didn't think about how to end his life. Mustering up his courage for the first and second time was already the greatest effort he had left in his life. Next, his desire to live was greater than his desire to die, so he simply lay down and let nature take its course, not caring about anything. If the government really sentenced him to death, he would just accept it calmly. So now Xia Xinsen was lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, motionless.

"Was he kicked to death?" The people next to him pointed and looked at Xia Xinsen.

"Where? I saw him move just now. Look at his belly moving up and down. He is still breathing. Besides, General Lu was very measured in his actions. He was waiting for the government officials to come. Why would he suddenly do something murderous? You are underestimating our large number of war gods."

While Xia Yingying and Lu Ziren were waiting, the people around them started to discuss heatedly. Soon, the government officials arrived. When the new yamen runner saw Lu Ziren, he immediately respectfully stepped in and bowed, then asked about the situation. Lu Ziren told the yamen runner the truth in detail.

The yamen runner frowned even more when he heard this, but he knew that he was not only helping the yamen, but also the emperor.

So the yamen runners wrote down everything Lu Ziren said in great detail.

"General, what happened here, if it is needed later..." said the yamen runner.

"If you need help, just come to the General's Mansion and find me. I will cooperate with your work." Lu Ziren said immediately.

"Thank you, General."

After stating the case, the yamen runners collected confessions from the crowd nearby. While the yamen runners were busy, Xia Yingying and Lu Ziren saw that they had nothing to do here, and Song Ruyi's case was also resolved. The doctor also examined Song Ruyi's injuries and applied medicine. It was just an ordinary small wound, but the knife marks were densely gathered on the neck, which looked very scary.

The three of them returned to the government office together, and Xia Xinsen was taken back to the government office in shackles by the yamen runners.

During the whole process, Xia Yingying held Song Ruyi tightly.

"Mom, does it hurt?" Xia Yingying asked Song Ruyi with great concern.

Song Ruyi's face was pale, and her lips were also pale. Song Ruyi smiled. "It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all."

"But, Yingying, when did Xia Xinsen come? How come I don't know anything about what he said?"

When Xia Xinsen accused Xia Yingying, Song Ruyi was confused by what Xia Xinsen said, but because her life was in danger at that time, Song Ruyi had no time to verify whether what Xia Xinsen said was true. Now that she is finally out of danger, Xia Xinsen asked Xia Yingying about the whole story.

Seeing that things had developed to this point, Xia Yingying realized that hiding it from Song Ruyi would be of no use, so she told Song Ruyi everything that had happened since Xia Xinsen came to Beijing.

"I didn't expect that people like him would never change their bad habits. If you hadn't helped me escape from that hell, I would have been tortured to death by him by now, Yingying. In the final analysis, it was me who implicated you in this matter. If it hadn't been for your help, I wouldn't have gotten into trouble with Shangxia Qingshan, my son-in-law wouldn't have been poisoned, and even your family wouldn't have been implicated."

After listening to Xia Yingying's words, Song Ruyi finally realized how much Xia Yingying had silently endured for her behind the scenes.

Having a daughter like Xia Yingying is a blessing for her.

Xia Yingying felt bad when she heard Song Ruyi's deeply guilty voice.

"Mom, you are my biological mother and I am your daughter. It is my duty to help you and protect you."

Xia Yingying said this and hugged Song Ruyi tightly in her arms. Lu Ziren was also very tactful and stood aside without disturbing Xia Yingying and Song Ruyi.

Song Ruyi wiped her tears and didn't say anything more.

Although Song Ruyi was very touched by what Xia Yingying did, she did not like the fact that Xia Yingying took on everything and did not tell her until the truth was revealed.

"Yingying, if you have any problems in the future, just tell me directly. I appreciate everything you have done for me, but I don't want to stand behind you every time something happens. I am not old yet, and I can still do many things. Besides, you are my flesh and blood, and I really don't want you to hurt yourself because of other things. I can handle my own affairs, and if I can't, I can ask you for help. Don't be alone in everything in the future, okay?"

Song Ruyi wiped her tears while speaking, her eyes were red, and her voice was a little unclear because of crying.

"Okay, I promise you, I will tell you everything in the future." Although Xia Yingying said this, she still subconsciously protected Song Ruyi in her heart.

"It's getting late, let's go back and eat. After eating, we can forget everything that happened today. Now Xia Xinsen will finally not run away. Mom, we can live a good life in peace from now on."

"Ah."

When she returns, she wants to ask Lu Ziren. He said that Xia Xinsen's issue has been completely resolved, so what exactly happened today?

Xia Yingying held Song Ruyi's hand and walked slowly forward, and Lu Ziren followed behind them.

After returning to the mansion, Lu Yuxuan consciously followed Qin Qingfeng and brought Lu Yurou with her.

When Lu Yurou and Lu Yuxuan saw Xia Yingying and Lu Ziren coming back, they ran out immediately. But when they saw Song Ruyi and Xia Yingying's eyes were red, they knew something must have happened outside. So Lu Yuxuan was particularly quiet today and didn't pester Xia Yingying to ask questions. "Please vote"
