Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 219

“From this, it’s clear that your parents really are true love.”

Sheng Fei rubbed Lu Chen’s head and gave him a thumbs-up, indicating that Lu Chen’s words were very amusing.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yi had such a playful side back then. However, Sheng Fei viewed the children’s biological parents as ordinary people who couldn’t make her feel anything significant, so she had no jealousy towards them.

Since they had no real connection, it was quite pitiful that these children lost their biological parents.

“That’s right, I remember that he clearly couldn’t do it himself, but insisted on trying. We laughed at him for a long time. Mom ate something bad and ended up at the clinic. Grandpa and grandma scolded her, saying she was being careless. Mom didn’t even dare to tell them it was dad’s cooking.”

The children reminisced about those past events, their expressions falling into a sad mood as they lowered their heads, appearing somewhat unhappy.

Sheng Fei understood their feelings, so she felt no jealousy or hesitation. It was a natural human emotion.

“Alright, I get it, but you can fill your little bellies first. Even if the taste isn’t perfect, it’s still your mom’s flavor. Your mom works so hard, and her food is so delicious, which shows she’s a very dedicated person. She must have taken special care of you, right?”

As Sheng Fei praised Shen Qin for her good points, and the children nodded in agreement. Of course, they felt that way.

Shen Qin was their biological mother, and she naturally cared for them deeply.

Especially at that time when Shen Qin was pregnant one after another, she rarely went out to work and mostly stayed home to take care of the children.

Since they hadn’t split the family yet, Shen Qin often suffered bullying and exploitation from Old Mrs. Lu. Old Mrs. Lu would tell Lu Yi that Shen Qin didn’t earn money or that she was lazy. Anyway, she would always point out her faults and criticize her.

Although Shen Qin didn’t like hearing it, they lived in the same house after all, so even if she didn’t want to, she felt powerless to change it.

The children felt very sorry for Shen Qin and often confronted Old Mrs. Lu together. They didn’t like her at all. Because of that, Old Mrs. Lu also didn’t like these kids very much.

It was obvious that she didn’t care enough for these children and was unwilling to put in the effort, so the relationship between them became increasingly bad.

At that time, Lu Yi was already struggling to make money. A portion of his earnings went to Old Mrs. Lu and another was needed to support several children. Shen Qin understood his difficulties and didn’t want to interfere or complain too much.

Every time Lu Yi came home, Shen Qin would greet him with a smile, saying she was doing well at home, that the children were obedient, and that their parents treated her well. She rarely expressed her grievances, especially at the beginning.

Lu Yi thought Shen Qin was genuinely fine because despite Old Mrs. Lu’s flaws, she was still his biological mother, so he didn’t see her as having done anything excessively wrong.

The children initially wanted to complain on Shen Qin’s behalf, but she had told them not to speak out or say anything else. To put it simply, they should never reveal anything to their father.
