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

Wen Shutang and others waited in the lobby for a while, and only came out of the clinic when they saw Xue Ming leading Xiao Wan into the inner hall.

Xiao Ye walked beside Xiao Yizhuo and said with some confusion: "What happened to my little sister just now? I have never seen her with such an expression."

Xiao Ze had a gentle expression and didn't say anything. Xiao Yizhuo didn't care much either. He simply thought that Xiao Wan was too nervous and was in a daze.

Only Wen Shutang knew what the little girl Xiao Wan was thinking. Who doesn't like a handsome little boy? With Ayi's looks, he can be considered a fresh and cute little puppy. Anyone who sees him will be stunned for a while.

Several people took a carriage back to Da'an Village. While Xiao Wan was free at the clinic, Wen Shutang had to make some perfume quickly. The day after tomorrow was the day Song Zhoubai would come to pick up the goods, and she hadn't made a few bottles of perfume yet.

If Song Zhoubai knew that she was slacking off, he would definitely nag her again.

Wen Shutang moved the large wooden barrel to the center of the yard and began to prepare to make perfume.

While the children and Xiao Yizhuo were not paying attention, Wen Shutang took out a lot of fresh flowers from the space.

She unexpectedly discovered that in addition to the white jade hall flowers behind the cabin, there were also some extremely beautiful flowers growing by the stream. Although she didn't know what kind of flowers they were, they smelled very much like roses.

Wen Shutang tried to make three bottles of perfume with this flower and found that the distilled pure water smelled more fragrant than roses. It smelled like the scent of an extremely wealthy and beautiful lady.

This smell surprised Wen Shutang. After smelling the light scent for a long time, he suddenly felt that the sweet smell was not bad.

In one afternoon, Wen Shutang made all the flower petals into perfume, which amounted to about fifty bottles.

While extracting the pure dew, she also paid attention to Xiao Ye's training situation. Fortunately, Xiao Yizhuo was there to help keep an eye on her, so she didn't have to worry too much about Xiao Ye.

Time passed quickly and it gradually darkened.

Wen Shutang washed the remaining petals on his hands and said, "Isn't it time to pick up Wan'er? You take the two children with you, and I'll prepare dinner at home."

Xiao Yizhuo nodded: "Okay."

Then he asked Xiao Ye to relax and rest. Xiao Ye immediately relaxed and rubbed his sore wrist: "I wonder how my little sister feels today."

"You should be very happy." Xiao Ze stood up and put the book in his hand on the table, then responded with his stiff neck tilted back.

"Okay, let's pack up and go to town. Wan'er will be worried if we leave late." Xiao Yizhuo prepared the carriage and said to the two children.

The two nodded and followed Xiao Yizhuo out of the yard. Wen Shutang stood in the kitchen and looked at their backs.

She didn't look away until the shadow of the carriage completely disappeared in the inky night. Today was Xiao Wan's first day of studying at the clinic. She didn't know how things were going, so she decided to make something delicious for dinner to reward the little girl.

Wen Shutang took out a whole chicken from the vat that she had bought last time she went to town. She rolled up her sleeves and planned to make a beggar's chicken.

When all the ingredients are prepared, start to light the fire. Spread the yellow mud all over the chicken frame through the wide leaves, put it into the stove pit and simmer it over high heat.

During this period, Wen Shutang started to study other dishes. There was some pork belly left over from last time, and she remembered that Xiao Wan liked braised pork very much, so she decided to make them together today.

Now that we have two meat dishes, we must make two vegetable dishes. Wen Shutang set his sights on eggplant and cabbage.

I used the leftover vegetables at home to make simple stir-fried seasonal vegetables and braised eggplant.

After doing all this, the beggar's chicken was almost cooked, and Wen Shutang placed all the dishes on the table in the yard.

She stood at the gate of the yard and looked around. According to the time, these people should have returned, but why was there no sign of the carriage yet?

Wen Shutang frowned. Just when she was feeling a little worried, she heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance and a large carriage was approaching from a distance.

Wen Shutang finally felt relieved, but what puzzled her was how she vaguely saw two carriages.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. Wen Shutang saw correctly that there was a luxurious and spacious carriage following behind their carriage.

Wen Shutang recognized it as Song Zhoubai's car at a glance. What was he doing here so late? Wen Shutang frowned, puzzled.

When the carriage approached, Xiao Yizhuo got off first and carried the three children down from the carriage.

Song Zhoubai also got out of another luxurious carriage, followed by a loud voice.

Wen Shutang looked closely. Isn't this Pei Sheng? What are these two people doing here so late at night?

Xiao Yizhuo led the children to Wen Shutang. Before Wen Shutang could ask any questions, Xiao Yizhuo spoke first, "I met these two people on the way back. They said they had something important to discuss, so they came with me."

Wen Shutang looked at the two people behind them and raised his eyebrows.

Song Zhoubai walked up to her and said with a smile, "Madam Wen, we meet again."

"How important is it that you two come to my courtyard so late at night?" Wen Shutang looked at the two of them with his arms folded, not buying Song Zhoubai's smiling face.

Pei Sheng walked forward and bowed to Wen Shutang, saying, "I really shouldn't bother you so late at night, but I will be leaving for Baiping Town tomorrow. I really have no choice but to bother you tonight. I hope Madam Wen will forgive me."

"Leaving tomorrow? Isn't Mr. Pei going to do business in Qingshui Town?" Wen Shutang was a little surprised.

"I received a message from home saying that my father's condition has worsened and he is probably on his deathbed. They urgently called me back." Pei Sheng's face was filled with deep worry and he looked very concerned.

Wen Shutang nodded in understanding: "Then what is it that Mr. Pei is so anxious to find me for?"

"I went back and thought carefully about what Madam Wen said that day, and I feel that it does make sense. I came here today to ask Madam Wen to give me some advice. After all, becoming the head of the family with such means will definitely be criticized by outsiders." Pei Sheng lowered his head, making it difficult for people to see the expression on his face.

Wen Shutang sighed and said indifferently, "It's useless for you to ask me about this matter, Master Pei. You have to think it through yourself. If you want to be a person in power, you must endure some rumors. As a businessman, Master Pei should understand this matter deeply."

Hearing Wen Shutang's words, Pei Sheng pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

"Mr. Pei, are you really afraid of rumors and gossips and so dare not make up your mind? I don't think so. Your younger brother who is just as capable and talented as you is the one that Mr. Pei is really worried about, right?" Wen Shutang looked at Pei Sheng with burning eyes and directly pointed out what he was thinking.

Pei Sheng was stunned for a moment and then nodded: "Madam Wen is smart and has seen through me completely. Xiaoyu is not a bad person and is very respectful to me. I really think it is inappropriate to fight for the position of the head of the family in such a way."

"That's what you think, but does Pei Yu, a bastard's son, really think so?" Wen Shutang said indifferently.
