Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 306

However, now that she could provoke Old Mrs. Lu, it felt like a small victory.

Otherwise, if Old Mrs. Lu got too complacent, Xu Yuxia would be particularly eager to argue with her.

That evening, Sheng Fei continued to tell the children stories from One Thousand and One Nights.

Today, Sheng Fei told the story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.

It is said that once upon a time, there was a group of robbers who would chant a spell, “Open Sesame,” to open the stone door of a cave, where they would store their gems before leaving.

At that time, Ali Baba was standing aside and witnessed the robbers’ actions. He repeated the spell to enter the cave.

Inside, he found a variety of treasures, including gems, gold, and silver. Ali Baba was so excited that when he prepared to leave, he forgot the spell to exit.

Thus, Ali Baba was discovered by the returning robbers, who cruelly killed him.

After finishing this story, the children still seemed a bit unsatisfied.

However, Sheng Fei insisted she was done and urged the children to rest.

“Alright, that’s the story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, and it’s time for bed now. By the way, Sanya, you’ll have to squeeze in with your brothers tonight. Once the rain stops and we fix the room, you can sleep there again. The brothers won’t mind, right?”

“No, no, we’re fine. Let’s go to sleep.”

“I’ve finished listening to the story. I want to hear more tomorrow, it was so exciting.”

“But I want to keep listening. I don’t want to sleep, I’m not tired.”

At this moment, Lu Xiaowu threw a tantrum and insisted he wanted to continue listening.

Sheng Fei shook her head. Lu Xiaowu’s stubbornness was something that left her feeling helpless.

After all, he was a young child. She couldn’t hit or scold him, only guide him gently.

“Alright, Xiaowu, you can’t have special treatment. Your brothers are going to sleep, and you need to go to sleep too, understand? Just because you’re younger doesn’t mean you can disobey me. Here, you and your brothers are treated equally. If you don’t listen and refuse to sleep, you won’t get any candy tomorrow.”

“Then I want to call you mom too. Why can Sanya call you mom and not me? Mom, can I listen tomorrow? I want to hear more, can I?”

Lu Xiaowu understood that Sheng Fei always keep her words. She was strict when it came to educating the children. In this regard, she was more serious than Lu Ting. Sheng Fei was like a strict father, while Lu Ting played the role of a kind mother. Their roles were reversed.

So when Lu Xiaowu was about to call Sheng Fei “Auntie”, he suddenly remembered that Lu Sanya had already changed her way of calling. Lu Xiaowu didn’t want to lose to Lu Sanya, so he also called Sheng Fei “Mom”.

Hearing Lu Xiaowu change his address made Lu Xiaosi follow suit and call Sheng Fei “Mom” as well.

Meanwhile, Lu Da and Lu Er exchanged glances and both called out “Mom” at the same time.

All five children called Sheng Fei “Mom” once, saying she treated them well and they wanted to show her their kindness in return and let her know how good they were.

Each child was particularly sweet-tongued, making Sheng Fei’s heart swell with joy. As a result, Sheng Fei made an exception and told them another story before they finally settled down to sleep.

That night when they were sleeping, Lu Ting’s heart raced. Although there was a curtain between them, Lu Ting’s hearing was quite sharp, so he could hear every little movement made by Sheng Fei.
