Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 157

So Xu Yuxia directly grabbed Lu Jixiang’s arm and spanked his butt a few times, and it was very hard, making him cry.

After spanking Lu Jixiang, Xu Yuxia was still not satisfied and started lecturing Lu Ruyi as well.

Until Jixiang and Ruyi were both in tears, Xu Yuxia’s anger finally subsided.

Looking at these two children, Xu Yuxia shook her head.

“If you ever dare to be so disobedient again, I’ll tell on you every day, even if you have your grandparents protecting you, that won’t work.

Look at how they’ve made you into little tyrants of the family. Who was the one who plucked the chicken feathers? And who was the one who put firecrackers on the dog? If you keep this up, you’ll be spoiled rotten, do you know that?”

Xu Yuxia and Lu Jiefang’s behavior and actions were a bit out of line and inconsiderate at times, but Xu Yuxia had always wanted to educate Jixiang and Ruyi well.

She hoped that these two children would amount to something in the future, but now seeing Jixiang and Ruyi’s behavior, Xu Yuxia was really not so sure anymore.

How did Jixiang and Ruyi become such good-for-nothing?

Xu Yuxia felt that Jixiang and Ruyi had learned all the bad habits from the school friends. After the two children were beaten to tears by Xu Yuxia, they continued crying.

Xu Yuxia told them to get up and wipe themselves dry, but the two children refused and kept making a fuss.

This angered Xu Yuxia and she beat them again.

When Lu Jiefang returned in the evening, the two children were noticeably more quiet and subdued than before.

“Jixiang  Ruyi, Dad’s home, what’s wrong with you two? Why do you look so unhappy? Your eyes are all red, what happened?”

Seeing their unsual condition, Lu Jiefang furrowed his brows and looked at them puzzled.

What exactly did happen to Jixiang and Ruyi? The two were pursing their lips pitifully, looking like they were about to cry the next second.

Jixiang and Ruyi looked at each other and then ran over to Lu Jiefang.

Lu Jixiang cried as he accused Xu Yuxia, “Dad, Mom is bad, Mom hit me, Mom also hit my and my brother’s butts. Dad, I don’t want Mom anymore. She hit me.”

“Dad, I miss grandpa and grandma. Where did they go? Mom hit us. Look, Mom has turned our butts red.”

Jixiang and Ruyi spoke through tears, uncovering their pants to show the handprints on their bottoms.

Seeing the slap marks on their butts, Lu Jiefang frowned. The usually doting Xu Yuxia, how could she do this?

Lu Jiefang realized that something was off with Xu Yuxia. After dinner that night, Lu Jiefang drew her into the room.

“Yuxia, what’s wrong with you lately? What did the children do to upset you this time? Look at how hard you’ve spanked them, their bottoms are all red and swollen.”

Xu Yuxia snorted coldly. She was now very dissatisfied with Lu Jiefang as well.

This Lu Jiefang was really not up to par. He was completely different from her imagination.

In Xu Yuxia’s imagination, Lu Jiefang would surely be on her side. But unfortunately, Lu Jiefang doesn’t earn as much as Lu Ting and isn’t as good-looking either.

When Xu Yuxia chose Lu Jiefang back then, it was because she wanted to live a good life with him.
