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

He was dirty all over, and his clothes were the same color as the mud.

When he saw Lu Ziren, he was about to kneel down, but Lu Ziren quickly stepped forward and stopped him. However, the moment Lu Ziren saw the man, a hint of red appeared in his eyes.

"General Lu..." The words that came out of his mouth were intermittent and his voice was hoarse, like a broken gong.

"Lu Ziren." Lu Ziren immediately pulled the man up, held his hand tightly with a little force, and spoke word by word. The man was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Song Ruyi saw that Qin Qingfeng brought back another beggar who looked like a wild man, and couldn't help but said quickly: "Oh, you can pick up anything when you go out, but this is Yingying's home, not your home. It's not appropriate for you to stay in my daughter's home with anyone."

Qin Qingfeng put the basket of herbs on the ground, raised his head, and said nonchalantly: "I didn't say to let him stay in your house. I just brought him back, gave him some medicine, and then drove him out."

After saying that, he looked at Lu Ziren meaningfully.

Song Ruyi originally wanted to choke Qin Qingfeng a few more times, but after hearing what he said, the words she was about to say were now stuck in her throat.

"General Lu...Brother...I..." The man saw that Lu Ziren's family had suddenly started quarreling because of his arrival, and he spoke stutteringly, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Lu Ziren spoke at this time.

"Mom, Chen Yi saved my life when I was in the army. His family has suffered a misfortune and he is being hunted by his enemies. I have been looking for his whereabouts. Now that he has found me here, no matter what happens, I can't just ignore him."

The words "being hunted by enemies" struck Xia Yingying and Song Ruyi hard on their minds.

They were just like ordinary people who had only heard of chases in operas, and both of them were terrified.

But Xia Yingying was much calmer than Song Ruyi. She knew that Lu Ziren was the villain in the book who lived until the end before being killed by the protagonist. He would not die so easily. Besides, they were still far away from the main storyline.

At least now I don’t have to worry about being implicated by this dirty man in front of me.

Song Ruyi moved her mouth and finally looked at Xia Yingying

She lived in Lu Ziren's house and was originally an outsider. Now that Lu Ziren decided to keep Chen Yi, she had no say.

"I listen to my husband." Xia Yingying immediately made her attitude clear.

"Brother Chen, wash your hands and come and have dinner together." Xia Yingying took the initiative to speak when she saw that they were in a stalemate.

"Yes, wash your hands quickly and come eat together." Lu Ziren took advantage of the situation to break the awkwardness. He fetched a basin of water and placed it beside the well. Chen Yi walked over and Lu Haojie also ran over and washed his hands around the basin.

While washing his hands, Chen Yi looked at Lu Haojie's face from time to time, wanting to say something but stopping himself, with red eyes.

The three of them washed the dirt off their hands one by one and walked to the dining table.

Song Ruyi helped put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and Xia Yingying started to eat.

Because there was one more person in the family, Xia Yingying fried an extra dish of sauerkraut and shredded potatoes.

The food on the table gave off an enticing aroma. Chen Yi had been hungry for a long time and kept swallowing his saliva.

He started eating only after seeing someone picking up their chopsticks. He did not pick up any food on the table, but ate two bowls of white rice in one go. Lu Ziren picked up some food for him and said, "Eat slowly. You will stay here from now on. Come hunting with me in the mountains."

Chen Yi's eyes were red, "Yes, General Lu...Brother."

It was not until the fifth bowl of rice that he slowed down, but he hardly picked up any food. It was always Lu Ziren who picked it up for him. It was not until the end when he saw that everyone had almost finished eating that he picked up more food.

Jingjing's appetite has decreased a lot compared to the beginning because Qin Qingfeng has been taking care of her body during this period.

Although I cooked one more dish, it was still a clean plate day.

Song Ruyi and Xia Yingying collected and washed the dishes together.

Lu Ziren dragged Chen Yi to the woodshed.

The woodshed was quiet, and those who practiced martial arts had sharp ears and sharp eyes, so they could clearly search and find that there was no one else nearby.

The emotions that had been hidden suddenly burst out at this moment. Chen Yi's eyes turned red. He clenched his fists again, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Lu Ziren.

Talked about his experience after the prince's death.

Chen Yi was a deputy general under Prince Kang. After Prince Kang's family was ordered to be executed, he was with Lu Ziren in the border town. He then resigned from his military post and continued to investigate the truth behind Prince Kang's incident.

Obviously, someone didn't want the truth about King Kang's death to come to light, so they sent assassins and gangsters to hunt down Chen Yi. Chen Yi had no choice but to go and seek refuge with Lu Ziren when he heard that Lu Ziren was in the border town. But he also heard that he was in a village in Qingshui Town.

At that time, he was in Jingzhou, which was relatively close to Qingshui Town, so he decided to try his luck here first.

But the ruthless killer still didn't let him go, and in a fierce fight in the mountains, he successfully knocked him off the cliff, thus saving his life. But he didn't expect that the old doctor who picked him up took him back to Lu Ziren's home!

"I wonder... who was the young man at the dinner table just now?" Chen Yi hesitated for a moment, but finally asked.

"He is my son now, his name is Haojie." Lu Ziren did not hide anything, "You will stay here from now on."

"Thank you, General, for your grace in giving me a new life." Chen Yi knelt on the ground again and kowtowed to Lu Ziren.

Lu Ziren walked forward and pulled Chen Yi up.

"You were once the prince's capable subordinate, and I have also received the prince's favor. Although he died unjustly now, I believe that one day he will be vindicated. Believe me."

"Thank you, General Lu."

After the two finished talking, Xia Yingying had already returned to the house, but now there was one more person in the house. There was really no place to put him, so he could only squeeze in with Lu Haojie or Qin Qingfeng.

Although Xia Yingying had previously made two beds, one for Lu Yuwei and one for Qin Qingfeng.

Lu Yuwei is now in private school and has not returned, so the bed should be empty, but with the addition of Jingjing in the family, Lu Yuwei's empty bed was naturally occupied by Jingjing.

There are no empty beds, but there are extra quilts at home.

Lu Haojie was small and had to sleep in a bed by himself, so Lu Ziren decided to put Chen Yi and Lu Haojie in the same bed.

Of course, Chen Yi would never dare to sleep with Lu Haojie, because he was his master after all.

Chen Yi refused again and again.

Lu Ziren had no choice but to say to Qin Qingfeng: "Doctor Qin, I will let Chen Yi sleep with you."

Unexpectedly, Qin Qingfeng didn't give Lu Ziren any face. He just turned his mouth away and spoke in a bad tone.

"Look at him, he's a big, burly man. Even if my bed is big enough for two people to sleep in, aren't you afraid that two grown men will squeeze together in the middle of the night?"
