Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 3

He wanted to save face and didn’t want his wife to create a scene outside like a shrew. “Enough, our family matters should not be exposed outside. Don’t get in the way, Third Brother is taking San Ya to the clinic.” (TL: San Ya means third daughter. It is a nickname for Lu Yang)

As he spoke, he glanced deeply at Sheng Fei and followed the man in front of him as they left the house one after another.

Xu Yuxia snorted coldly and forcefully bumped into Sheng Fei’s shoulder as she left.

Sheng Fei recognized the man in front holding Lu Yang as the Lu family’s youngest son, Lu Ting, who was Lu Yang’s uncle.

When Lu Ting passed by her just now, his eyes scanned her with a gloomy and fierce expression. It was clear that he would settle the score with her later.

Sheng Fei felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

She slowly lifted her feet and entered the house.

Regardless, she was still the new daughter-in-law of the Lu family.

Xu Yuxia was the eldest daughter-in-law, and her relationship with the original owner was sometimes good and sometimes bad. However, the original owner always flattered her. If Xu Yuxia was in a good mood, she would pay attention to her, but if she was in a bad mood, she would ignore her. Only the original owner could tolerate her temper.

This time, Xu Yuxia instigated several children to work outside.

Unexpectedly, an accident happened, and Xu Yuxia was the first to attack her.

She put all the blame on Sheng Fei.

As soon as Sheng Fei entered the courtyard, she saw several children there. Before she could say anything, the children looked at her with fearful expressions. They hurriedly ran into the house and locked the door.

The sound of the door being locked was swift and decisive. Sheng Fei remained silent, “…”

In the end, Sheng Fei thought about it and decided to catch up with Lu Ting and go to the clinic together to see Lu Yang.

After a lot of effort, she caught up with them. Sheng Fei wanted to say something to ease the tension, but Lu Ting ignored her with a cold expression, while Xu Yuxia looked like she was enjoying a good show.

She whispered to Lu Ting, adding fuel to the fire. “I’ve been saying that the children are young and shouldn’t do heavy work, but Sheng Fei didn’t listen to me. She even said I was meddling in other people’s business. Look at what she has caused. She’s lazy herself, but she’s also exploiting these children. Is this what a person should do?”

Lu Jiefang’s expression was complicated. He nudged Xu Yuxia’s arm. “Alright, say a little less.”

Lu Ting was already angry, and Xu Yuxia’s words only fueled his anger.

“What’s wrong with me? I can’t even speak now. It was Sheng Fei who did all this in the first place. They’re not her children, so of course she doesn’t care.”

It was obviously Xu Yuxia who said that the children were old enough to do more work, which is why the original host allowed the children to go.

Now she was shifting the blame onto Sheng Fei. Sheng Fei felt a growing sense of disgust but remained silent.

After arriving at the clinic, Lu Ting found Dr. Zhou and his tone showed his anxious feeling. “San Ya was bitten by a venomous snake. Dr. Zhou, please take a look.”

Since the death of his older brother and sister-in-law, he treated the children as his own, even more than his biological children. If anything happened to San Ya, he was truly afraid that he would lose his mind.

But he had to go to work in the county to earn money and couldn’t constantly look after the five children.

Dr. Zhou was also surprised and instructed him to place Lu Yang on the bed for examination. As he examined her, he asked, “How long has it been? Why was she brought in so late?”

Before Lu Ting could speak, Xu Yuxia hesitated and spoke first, “It seems like it has been half an hour already.”

Dr. Zhou frowned, “It’s a bit late to bring her in. Why wasn’t she brought in immediately? This is nonsense! What kind of snake was it? I don’t even have the anti-venom here…”

“We didn’t see it. San Ya was bitten in the vegetable field.”

Lu Ting was puzzled as to why San Ya would be in the vegetable field. “Why was she there?”

At this moment, Xu Yuxia glared fiercely at Sheng Fei. Sheng Fei swallowed nervously and knew that Xu Yuxia was about to make trouble. “It’s all because of Sheng Fei. I already told her to go to the field and weed by herself, but who knew she would let a few children go instead? Say, is that really what a mother would do? This is simply nonsense!”
