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

Lu Ziren originally wanted to ask Li Guoliang to investigate whether the woman surnamed Sun was called Sun Zhaodi, but then he changed his mind and gave up.

"Make sure to protect that woman surnamed Sun. No accidents can happen to her." Lu Ziren instructed again.

"Yes." Li Guoliang said with full energy.

After Li Guoliang went down, Lu Ziren did not tell Xia Yingying what Li Guoliang had just said. Xia Yingying was busy with her own things and was already tired enough. He didn't want this matter to add to Xia Yingying's troubles.

After Xia Yingying finished her work in the store, she went back with Lu Ziren.

Lu Yurou asked Xia Yingying to hold her, so Xia Yingying held Lu Yurou in her arms.

Although Lu Yurou is small, she is not light in weight. She holds Xia Yingying's neck tightly with both hands, and her whole body hangs on Xia Yingying like a pendant.

After Xia Yingying walked for a while holding Lu Yurou in her arms, she felt a little tired, especially the hand that was supporting Lu Yurou, which felt very sore.

Lu Ziren, who was standing nearby, naturally saw how hard Xia Yingying was struggling, so he wanted to carry Lu Yurou over.

Lu Ziren opened his arms towards Lu Yurou, but Lu Yurou ignored him and turned her head away without looking at him.

It seemed as if he disliked Lu Ziren.

But Lu Yurou was soon attracted by a young couple with a baby. Lu Ziren also looked over and saw a little girl sitting on the man's neck. Lu Yurou was looking at the little girl with envy.

"Arou, do you want to ride on daddy too?" Lu Ziren said, pointing to the back of his neck, tempting Lu Yurou.

"Ah."

Lu Yurou nodded excitedly, moving around in Xia Yingying's arms, obviously looking forward to Lu Ziren's proposal.

Lu Ziren opened his arms, and Lu Yurou also opened her arms, and Lu Ziren successfully hugged Lu Yurou.

But Lu Ziren was not just saying that he wanted Lu Yurou to ride on his neck.

Instead, he hugged Lu Yurou and put her around his neck like a scarf, and made Lu Yurou ride on his neck.

It was Lu Yurou's first time, but she was also afraid. After she went up, she grabbed Lu Ziren's hair tightly, leaving him speechless. Lu Ziren stretched out his hand and pressed it under Lu Yurou's armpit to prevent her from falling down accidentally.

After Xia Yingying stopped hugging Lu Yurou, she felt much more relaxed.

Xia Yingying walked beside Lu Ziren.

Lu Yurou basically played indoors. Although Song Ruyi had been holding her yesterday, she didn't pay attention to the surroundings because she was thinking about Xia Yingying and felt very aggrieved. But now, she was riding on Lu Ziren's neck for the first time. She was so excited that she kept staring at the new things, like a monkey released from the mountains into the crowd, finding everything very novel.

Now Lu Yurou can also speak a few simple words. Except for Xia Yingying and Lu Ziren who can hear clearly what Lu Yurou often says, they can't understand anything else.

Lu Yurou saw an old lady selling tofu pudding nearby, who was carrying a load on her shoulder and shouting at the top of her lungs.

"Tofu pudding for sale, fragrant, sweet and tender tofu pudding, three cents a bowl, free if it doesn't taste good, tofu pudding, tofu pudding." The old lady walked and stopped, shouting at the top of her voice with a hint of Jiangnan accent. She really sounded better than singing.

Seeing this, Lu Yurou also started shouting in a hoarse voice.

"Head flower, head flower..." What followed were some words that only Lu Yurou could understand. Xia Yingying was confused, but Lu Yurou was very happy. She shouted at the top of her voice and patted Lu Ziren's head with her little hands, as if she was beating Lu Ziren's head like a drum.

The most important thing is Lu Ziren. He has no expression on his face. His face is cold, hard and smelly, just like a stone in a river after it has dried up.

Lu Yurou patted Lu Ziren's head, and she didn't have any skills. Lu Ziren's hair, which was originally combed meticulously, was messed up because of Lu Yurou's action. Although Lu Ziren looked a little embarrassed now, a few strands of hair floated in the air when the wind blew gently, which gave Lu Ziren a lazy and unrestrained feeling.

Xia Yingying stood aside and couldn't help laughing as she watched the actions between Lu Yurou and Lu Ziren. These two people together were really a pair of funny people.

Because Lu Ziren and Lu Yurou were not particularly close before, and Lu Yurou was also a little wary of Lu Ziren, Xia Yingying had no chance to see this scene. But now, when Xia Yingying saw this scene, she couldn't help laughing so hard that she was out of breath, and her voice was like a hen. "Cluck, cluck, cluck..."

Everyone around was busy with their own things. Some of them were inevitably curious about Xia Yingying's laughter, but when they saw the clothes Xia Yingying and Lu Ziren were wearing and their extraordinary demeanor, they did not dare to provoke them. Even though they were curious and found it a little funny, they still tried their best to hide their expressions, fearing that they would make a big mistake because of their momentary forgetfulness. After all, the capital was full of dignitaries, and although some of them looked plain and no different from ordinary people, if they accidentally offended the powerful, the end that awaited them would be extremely tragic.

Lu Ziren felt that Lu Yurou was a bit annoying. If he was not worried that after he put Lu Yurou down, she would continue to haunt him and wrap her whole body around Xia Yingying, he would not be willing to let Lu Yurou ride on his neck.

All he wanted now was to get home as soon as possible and put Lu Yurou in the yard so that she would not bother him and Xia Yingying.

But now that Lu Ziren saw Lu Yurou so happy and Xia Yingying was also smiling, he felt that Lu Yurou could make Xia Yingying happy and it was not so annoying anymore.

Whenever Lu Yurou saw someone shouting, she would imitate him. However, Lu Yurou's speech was really unclear. Xia Yingying and Lu Ziren could understand some of her words. As for the rest, he was just like every other passerby and looked at Lu Yurou in confusion. Lu Yurou really only cared about her own happiness and didn't care what others thought of her.

The family of three returned home laughing, quarreling and making noise.

Xia Yingying did not hand Lu Yurou over to Song Ruyi, but took her back to the room by herself. Lu Ziren naturally followed Xia Yingying.

Xia Yingying carried Lu Yurou into her cradle, and suddenly remembered that Lu Haoran and Lu Haojie were going to school after the Chinese New Year.

The New Year has begun. When will Lu Haoran and Lu Haojie go to school?

"Lu Ziren, when will Lu Haoran and Lu Haojie go to school?"

"It will take a few more days. It's just the beginning of the new year, so it's too early for the children to go to school. I sent someone to ask, but they are not going to school yet. It's just that Lu Haojie will go to the Imperial College and rest for a few days at most. If he goes to the Imperial College, he may be a few days late."

"Taixue? Isn't Taixue a branch of the Imperial College?" Aren't the two of them in the same place?

Xia Yingying was stunned.

But Xia Yingying soon realized that she was making a fuss out of nothing.

There's nothing strange about the fact that none of the dynasties here match the history she learned.

Xia Yingying originally thought that the Imperial College was the highest institution of learning in Daliang, but she didn't expect that there was also a Taixue.

"Then where is this Imperial College? Isn't the Imperial College the highest institution of learning in the capital?" Xia Yingying asked Lu Ziren in confusion.
