I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

When Xiao Ze heard the noise outside the house, he threw off the quilt, got out of bed, put on his coat, and opened the door. He saw Xiao Ye and Wen Shutang standing in the middle of the yard. He was stunned for a moment and then walked to Xiao Yizhuo.

"Dad, what are Mom and Aye doing?"

"She is teaching Aye martial arts." Xiao Yizhuo explained simply, his eyes never leaving Wen Shutang.

Xiao Ze nodded in understanding, looking at the two with inquiry in his eyes, why do you have to do this action when practicing martial arts? Ah Ye looked as if he was in great pain.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and Wen Shutang gritted his teeth secretly. His body was in such a bad condition that he was shaking after only fifteen minutes, and his legs were so sore that he could hardly stand.

If it were her original body, she would be able to hold on for several hours without blushing or getting heart palpitations, let alone fifteen minutes.

Beads of sweat slid down his forehead, blurring his vision. Wen Shutang just narrowed his eyes and remained motionless.

She hadn't trained like this for a long time, and hadn't felt the heat of exercise for a long time. Every inch of her skin and every drop of her blood was clamoring.

Xiao Yizhuo was standing nearby and noticed Wen Shutang's expression. He couldn't help but be stunned. At this moment, she had a different temperament, different from her usual gentle feeling. Now Wen Shutang was like a dormant beast, waiting to give the enemy a fatal blow at any time.

He had never had such a feeling with a woman before. Wen Shutang was the first.

Half an hour later, Xiao Ye could no longer hold on. His legs went limp and he fell to the ground, supporting himself with his hands and breathing heavily.

"No way."

Wen Shutang also stood up slowly. This time it took a little longer and her knees began to ache.

"How do you feel, Aye?"

"It hurts, especially my calves. They're so sore that I can't feel anything." Xiao Ye frowned and reached out to pinch his sore calves.

"This is just the beginning. The training in the future will definitely be more tiring. I'll ask you one last time, do you still want to persist?" Wen Shutang lowered his eyes and looked into Xiao Ye's eyes, as if trying to find some signs of retreat in him.

Xiao Ye raised his head, his eyes were clear, and although his breathing was rapid, he did not show any regret: "I won't give up."

After a long silence, Wen Shutang nodded: "Okay, take a rest today, and do horse stance for an hour every day from now on. When Ah Ye can do it for an hour without shaking at all, we will proceed to the next step. In addition, I will practice with you every day, don't think about being lazy"

"Okay." Xiao Ye propped himself up and stood up. Although his calves were very sore, he felt a sense of pleasure from it. It was a refreshing comfort.

He became more and more excited and began to look forward to future training, without any sign of fear.

Xiao Ze was standing nearby and was slightly stunned when he saw his brother's expression. It was the first time he saw Xiao Ye so determined about something, and the excitement and anticipation on his face made him look more lively.

Something seemed to have changed about Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ze's gaze fell on Wen Shutang, who was also sweating profusely, and he knew that his mother would definitely be able to help A Ye resolve his emotional knot.

As the sun set, smoke rose from the kitchen. Soon, Xiao Wan came out carrying a steaming side dish.

I was a little surprised to see everyone in the yard: "Why are you all outside? Come and eat."

After saying that, he carried the dishes into the house.

Xiao Yizhuo and Xiao Ze were the first to help serve the dishes and get the bowls and chopsticks.

Wen Shutang went to wash their hands with Xiao Ye. Xiao Ye had just sat on the ground, and his hands and body were covered with dust.

After working out and sweating, it feels really good to wash off the stickiness on your body with clean water.

After washing off the sweat and wiping the water stains on his face, Wen Shutang turned to look at Xiao Ye beside him with a gentle gaze.

It was already completely dark when the family finished their meal. Xiao Ye was indeed tired today, so he went back to his room early to rest.

When Xiao Ze and Xiao Wan finished helping to clear the table and returned to the room, they found Xiao Ye already lying on the bed and fast asleep.

The two looked at each other and tacitly agreed not to make any sound, and rested quietly.

Wen Shutang returned to the house and drank a large glass of water first. Her throat was almost sore from the pain this afternoon.

Xiao Yizhuo looked at her and smiled lightly, "Go to bed early."

Wen Shutang nodded, climbed onto the bed after washing up, and lay on the bed staring at the ceiling in a daze.

I haven't exercised for a long time. Today, when I suddenly moved my body, I felt extremely tired.

After Xiao Yizhuo blew out the lights and went to bed, she said, "Tell me about the parents of the three children."

Xiao Yizhuo was silent for a moment before speaking: "Their fathers are all members of the imperial guards of the capital, and they are my subordinates. Aze's mother is a famous embroiderer in the capital, Aye's mother is the youngest female chef in the restaurant in the capital, and Wan'er's mother is a concubine's daughter from an aristocratic family."

"Later, the country's fortunes declined, and the people suffered from famine. The neighboring country took advantage of the chaos to attack the city, and several cities on the border were occupied. They were ordered to rush to the border to repel the enemy. Aze's father died in that battle. His mother was pregnant, and when she heard the bad news, she was so angry that she gave birth prematurely and had hemorrhage, resulting in one death and two deaths."

They both fell silent, and Wen Shutang pursed his lips tightly, unable to imagine what Xiao Ze's mood was like at that time.

"That year, Aze was seven years old and both his parents died. When I went to pick him up, I saw him wearing tattered clothes and hiding in the yard crying alone." Xiao Yizhuo frowned in the dark. He couldn't help but feel his heart tighten when he thought of Xiao Ze's appearance at that time.

Wen Shutang couldn't describe what he felt at the moment, he just felt waves of pain in his heart.

Xiao Yizhuo paused for a moment and continued, "Actually, it was because of me that Aye's father passed away."

His tone was low, with a hint of barely perceptible guilt.

Wen Shutang turned her head to look at him, and she clearly felt that Xiao Yizhuo's mood had dropped.

In fact, after his description, Wen Shutang had roughly guessed Xiao Yizhuo's identity.

Who else could be related to the capital's imperial guards? And he also has subordinates, so his identity is obvious.

"Aze has already told me about Aye's mother. I really didn't expect that the two children would have such a childhood."

Wen Shutang felt more and more upset. She felt sorry for these children. Their parents had passed away and they were abused by their stepmother. No wonder they eventually turned into the biggest villains in the whole book.

If these things happened to Wen Shutang, there is no guarantee that she would not become like this.

"So when I first found out that you were bullying them, I wanted to tear you into pieces." Xiao Yizhuo's voice was cold.

Wen Shutang was silent. She now understood why Xiao Yizhuo had such a bad attitude towards her in the beginning.
