Rebirth of the Evil Stepmother and the Four Villainous Children

When he learned from the letters what she did every day, and saw the tremendous vitality gushing out from the letter paper, he seemed to have found the meaning of life.

Xie Wuyou's childhood was different from that of other little princes. His birth was not legitimate. Who would have thought that a queen would give the emperor aphrodisiac in order to consolidate her favor?

And that's how Xie Wuyou came about. The late queen had been looking forward to having a child who could bring her benefits, but Xie Wuyou didn't have that.

After Xie Wuyou was born, the late emperor only took a look at this child who came in such an ignominious way and left without saying a word.

From then on, Xie Wuyou became an unwanted child. His mother didn't love him, and neither did his father. He knew this fact when he was very young, but what could he do? He still had to live, didn't he?

During that dark time, Xiao Wuyou had no friends and could only talk to himself when the lights were turned off every night. Sometimes he said a lot, and sometimes he said nothing. He thought that maybe his mother would talk to him tomorrow, and he imagined how he would respond to every word his mother said.

He thought that his mother might be praising his teacher for his studies, or that he had made progress in martial arts today. But when he opened his eyes again, his mother still hadn't said a word to him, and he couldn't even enter the palace gate to pay his respects.

In such a huge palace, Xiao Wuyou always felt that there was no room and no thing that belonged to him. Sometimes he thought about what would happen if he died.

Will my father and mother cry? Will my brother be sad? I guess my brother is too busy to be sad. What about my father and mother?

Little Wuyou didn't know that as he grew older, his mother would talk to him, but he didn't need her anymore. He had grown up to the point where he no longer needed her love and care.

Gradually, Xiao Wuyou's talent began to show in military affairs. In addition to wanting to help his brother, he also wanted to escape when he joined the army.

Escape from this suffocating home.

But in his eyes, Zhou Rongrong was different from everyone else in the world. She lived such a bright and sunny life.

He envied, he wanted to possess it, there was a voice in his heart shouting madly, he wanted such sunshine, he wanted Zhou Rongrong.

He was so badly injured at that time that he thought he could finally die. When he saw her for the first time, she was wearing a coarse linen dress, with a tired look on her face, and her ponytail was tied up high. She was swaying in front of him, and she must have swayed into his heart at that moment.

Seeing that the person was stunned, Xie Anming reached out and patted Xie Wuyou on the shoulder.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

His younger brother has always been like this. Nothing interests him and everything seems indifferent to him.

Xie Wuyou came to his senses, his eyes were as cold as ever, and his voice was extremely cold.

"Brother, I want to take a vacation. I calculated that I haven't had a vacation in more than ten years. Can I at least rest for half a year?"

Xie Wuyou didn't care. He had never had a rest during the various holidays and the ten days of home leave given to soldiers every year. He didn't even know where to go on vacation.

What else did Xie Anming have to say? If his younger brother wanted to take a vacation, then let him take it. He could just work himself a little harder until he died of exhaustion.

"Okay, what are you going to do?"

Xie Wuyou said, "Leave it to your own business."

Xie Anming raised his hand, but when he saw his brother's face that said "hit me, hit me now" he touched his nose awkwardly and put his hand down.

Then Xie Wuyou started to study. What did he learn?

He was learning skills, such as farming, carpentry, hunting, and all the skills necessary to be a farmer. Xie Anming didn't even understand what he was doing.

Zhou Rongrong was in a state of emergency, mainly because their eldest child was going to take an exam. As for the second child, Mr. Zhuang said he should just study.

Originally, the examination for students of the Great Zhou Dynasty was scheduled for February every year. However, there was a drought in Shu in February this year, and the people were suffering. It took a lot of effort to recover, so the examination was scheduled for October 15 this year.

Although the Tongsheng exam is an entry-level examination and there is no quota for each state and county, I heard from Mr. Zhuang that Zhao County admitted a total of 15 Tongsheng students the year before last.

It can be seen that the exam is extremely difficult. Every time for such an exam, one has to register one month in advance. One also needs a guarantor. The three generations up and down have to be checked clearly, and the five people taking the exam together have to guarantee each other.

Only then can they register for the exam. Now it is early October, Zhou Rongrong has decided to set off for Zhao County right away, and naturally the children have to go with them.

There are three more students in Qingfeng College who need to take exams. Mr. Zhuang knows that Zhou Rongrong also has acquaintances in Zhao County, so he asks Zhou Rongrong to take care of the other three students when the time comes.

Since Mr. Zhuang said that the other three were good people with upright family traditions, he thought he could help as much as possible, so he agreed generously and said that he would rent a small courtyard, and when people came, they could just go to Mr. Shi's house to find him.

Zhou Rongrong packed her things and set off with the children.

Fortunately, Mr. Shi has a house, so Zhou Rongrong rented a yard from Mr. Shi's house in Zhao County. At this time, candidates from all over the country came to Zhao County to start preparing.

Even if Zhou Rongrong and his friends came half a month earlier, the house would still be in short supply. But Mr. Shi was in this business, so he took Zhou Rongrong to Huaihua Lane.

As the name suggests, there is a 200-year-old locust tree in Huaihua Lane. The trunk is so thick that Zhou Rongrong and her five children have to work together to hold the trunk. Unfortunately, it is October now, so we can't see the locust flowers in full bloom and the fragrance wafting for miles.

Mr. Shi said, "Mr. Zhou, most of the people who live in Huaihua Lane are scholars. It's quiet and convenient for your child to live here. The Examination Hall is two blocks away from the lane. You can buy things on the roadside. There are eight rooms in the four east and west wing rooms of this courtyard, plus the main house, a total of nine rooms, which is enough for you to live in. Mr. Zhou, please take a look and see if you are satisfied."

Zhou Rongrong pushed the door open and saw that the yard was square in layout with a small courtyard in the middle. Each room was not as big as the one in her own house, but it was enough.

This is an excellent house in Zhao County. It has been renovated, so Zhou Rongrong went to check the quality of the construction.

Master Shi saw her knocking left and right, looking around, and knew that she was checking the quality, so he smiled and said.

"Boss Zhou, don't worry. The houses built by your construction team were built without cutting corners. They are all excellent."

Zhou Rongrong smiled and said, "Shouldn't I take a closer look? The workers in Dashan Village are working outside now, and I can't watch them. I still have to pay more attention."

Master Shi asked, "Is it your eldest son who is taking the exam this time? Is he this young?"

Mr. Shi has seen several children, and each of them has their own strengths. The best student is the eldest son, Jiang Wanzhou, but at this age...

Zhou Rongrong called Dabao over to pay his respects to Master Shi.

Dabao bowed and said, "Master Shi, how are you?"

Master Shi touched his little head. It had only been half a year since they last saw each other, but the child had grown more and more outstanding. Master Shi loved him more and more and asked with a smile.
