After Transmigrating, I Became the Vicious Stepmother of Four Kids

Food blogger Lin Shuang died suddenly from staying up late and transmigrated, becoming the vicious stepmother that the children wanted to kill, a nightmare for her four step-children.

Each of...

Chapter 40 The whereabouts of the original owner

Xiao Ce forced a smile, "Stepmother, I'm fine."

"I'm glad you're okay. You don't have a fever. Go to bed early tonight. You've been tired all day."

"Okay, thank you, stepmother." This was the first time that Xiao Ce expressed his sincere gratitude to Lin Shuang from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't be so polite with me." Lin Shuang was stunned for a moment and smiled slightly.

Lin Shuang has always known that among these children, Xiao Ce is the most difficult to deal with. When she just crossed over yesterday, apart from Xiao Nanxin who was the least guarded against her, Xiao Ce had the best attitude.

However, this is just an illusion on the surface.

In the original plot, Xiao Ce's younger brother and sister died, but he was able to become the emperor alone in the end. Judging from this point of view, he is definitely not a good person.

He is flexible and pretentious, but his sincerity is hard to come by.

"Okay, hurry up and take a shower. It's best if you two take a shower together to save water and time. Xiao Ce and Jing Yu should shower first, and Wang Shu and Nan Xin can follow later.

I'll go get some bath stuff." Lin Shuang went straight to her room.

The shower gel is already in the bowl, just take it out directly.

Xiao Ce and Xiao Jingyu had already taken the clothes to the ear room, and Xiao Ce was holding another oil lamp in his hand.

In the dim night, the yellow light from the oil lamp illuminated the road ahead, and the two arrived in a short while.

Lin Shuang was already waiting in the ear room.

"This is shower gel, for bathing. Apply it on your body to make bubbles, rub it, and then rinse it off. Your body will be cleaner."

Lin Shuang took out a bowl filled with white liquid.

Xiao Ce and Xiao Jingyu had never seen anything like this in their lives, so they touched it out of curiosity.

"Mom, this stuff smells good, why does it taste a bit like snot?"

Xiao Jingyu's bold remarks made both of them frown at the same time.

Xiao Jingyu looked back and saw that his mother and eldest brother had strange expressions on their faces. He touched his head and said, "Mom, where did you come from?"

He looked at Lin Shuang curiously with his big innocent eyes.

All four children have big eyes, probably because their parents also have big eyes.

"I did this myself." Lin Shuang lied without blushing or beating her heart, because no one else would know anyway.

"Mom, when did you do it? Why didn't I see it?" Xiao Jingyu was full of doubts. He hadn't seen his mother doing it in the past few days.

"I did it last night and stayed up very late before going to bed. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiao Ce." Lin Shuang turned to look at Xiao Ce.

Xiao Jingyu also looked at Xiao Ce with doubts.

"I, I don't know when it was done, but my stepmother did not go to bed until very late last night." Xiao Ce's ambiguous answer made Xiao Jingyu believe it.

Xiao Jingyu looked at Lin Shuang with a distressed look on his face, "Mom, you've worked hard."

"It's okay, hurry up and wash. I'm going to make dumplings. You can tell Wangshu and Nanxin how to use this later."

Lin Shuang turned around and walked out.

The two took off their rag-like clothes and went into the water, using shower gel and making bubbles, and they were pleasantly surprised.

Lin Shuang walked quickly to the kitchen and closed the door.

I just sat aside and took out the dumplings I had made before from the space to cook. The stock in my space was getting less and less, and there were only a few snacks left that I usually prepared.

Since I am a food blogger, I usually put some food in my space.

It will take a while for the children to take a bath, and if we cook the dumplings now, they will get rotten.

There is nothing to do here now, so I will ask the system about the situation.

"System, come out and chat." Lin Shuang sat at the stove with her chin supported by her hand.

[Shuangshuang~What do you want to talk about~]

"Hey~ What are you doing?" Lin Shuang was shocked and got goosebumps when he heard the sound of the bend in the mountain road.

"Didn't Shuangshuang call me out? Why is this happening again now?"

"Speak humanly, and, by the way, forget that you are not a human."

"Shuangshuang~"

Lin Shuang was speechless and ignored him.

"Look at how outstanding my performance has been these past two days. How good is my impression of the four children?"

Lin Shuang felt that Xiao Ce and Xiao Wangshu's scores were definitely lower, but Xiao Nanxin's were definitely higher, and Xiao Jingyu's was 90.

"Xiao Ce's favorability is 20, Xiao Wangshu's is 20, Xiao Jingyu's is 90, and Xiao Nanxin's is 30."

After the system returned to normal, the smile on Lin Shuang's face froze.

"You said Duo Shao!"

"Xiao Nanxin's Duo Shao!"

Lin Shuang stood up suddenly in disbelief.

She didn't expect that Xiao Nanxin's favorability was only 30 now, so how much was it at the beginning?

[Xiao Nanxin's favorability was 0 when you first arrived.]

"This little liar, I thought she was the one who trusted me the most."

Lin Shuang really felt like opening a blind box.

"Forget it, it's only two days, as long as the favorability increases, it's fine.

Oh, and where is the original owner of this body of mine?"

[She had already died from a head injury before you came, so I just happened to bring you here.]

[You don't have to feel any psychological burden. You didn't forcibly occupy someone else's body. To compensate me for taking you to occupy her empty shell, I asked the Lord God to give her a good pregnancy.

I guess he has been reincarnated now. 】

"But she did this to these children, how can she still go to a good family?"

[Because this is the plot and ending of a book, the bigger reason is the influence of the plot.]

"So, you found me, an outsider, to disrupt this originally fixed plot, right?"

Lin Shuang said it directly.

The system was silent for a moment. Should I say it, why are you so smart now?

[Yes, Shuangshuang, after completing the mission, you can return to your own world and reunite with your family. This can also be considered as helping my lovely self and these children who are affected by the plot.]

Lin Shuang thought about it and it made sense. It was all good for everyone, no matter how good it was. Without the benefit of being able to go home and return to the state before her sudden death, no one would be willing to take over the mess.

All we can say is that everyone gets what they need, and no one owes anyone anything.

"Mom, my brother and I are done washing." Xiao Jingyu's voice came from far away.

Lin Shuang took out the dumplings from the space and put them into hot water.

Xiao Jingyu and Xiao Ce had already walked over and pushed the door open.

"Mom, you have already made the dumplings. How come it's so fast?" Xiao Jingyu said in surprise as he looked at the dumplings in the pot.

"I'm quick with my hands, and I already chopped these fillings when I cooked the meat yesterday. I figured I'd make some money by selling the wild boar meat today."

"Mom, you are so smart." Xiao Jingyu spoke kind words as if they were free of charge.

"Okay, your little mouth must have been filled with honey, why are you talking so sweetly?" Lin Shuang was indeed pleased.

"No, I ate the mung bean cake my mother bought me." Xiao Jingyu was very shrewd.

"Mom, the shower gel you let us use smells so good!" It smells so good. Xiao Jingyu sniffed it hard.

"It works well, right? We'll all use this to take a bath from now on."
