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

After learning about Xiao Yizhuo's life experience, Wen Shutang felt a little dizzy.

Although she had guessed Xiao Yizhuo's identity, she really didn't expect his identity to be so sensitive.

"Does that mean you faked your own death with the children so you could escape the Emperor's pursuit?"

Xiao Yizhuo nodded: "Well, although there is news that I died on the battlefield, His Majesty is suspicious by nature, and I don't know if he really believes it, so I am staying here with the children temporarily, and plan to wait until things are settled before making any decisions."

Wen Shutang pursed his lips and frowned slightly. If this was the case, it meant that the emperor might still be sending people to inquire about Xiao Yizhuo's news. He and the children were not completely out of danger.

If the emperor's spies find Qingshui Town, then their whole family will not be safe.

Xiao Yizhuo obviously thought of this problem, and his face turned cold: "If the people around His Majesty chase us here, we may have to move to another place to live."

He looked up at Wen Shutang and said, "Perhaps we will be displaced in the future, and we have to be on guard against whether someone is watching us. If you don't want this, we can divorce."

Xiao Yizhuo felt his throat was dry when he said this, but he didn't want to drag Wen Shutang into a life without a future. This was not fair to Wen Shutang. She was not alone like him. She still had parents, brothers, and a hometown that she was attached to.

Wen Shutang was just thinking that his future life might not be very good, but he never thought of separating from Xiao Yizhuo.

She is a person who hates trouble, but facing the hidden troubles in her future life, Wen Shutang has no intention of avoiding it this time. She is actually looking forward to facing the difficulties with Xiao Yizhuo.

When she heard Xiao Yizhuo talk about divorce, she immediately looked up and glared at him.

"When did I say I didn't want to? Why did you say divorce so easily?"

Seeing that she seemed angry, Xiao Yizhuo immediately shook his head and explained: "That's not what I meant. I naturally don't want to divorce you, but I also don't want you to get into unnecessary trouble because of me."

Wen Shutang really understood Xiao Yizhuo's intention. She was not really angry. Xiao Yizhuo was actually thinking about her when he said he wanted to break up.

Anyway, he had experienced such days of hiding from pursuit before. Now he was just reliving those days. Wen Shutang didn't care much about it.

The only things that worried her were Liu Sufen, Wen Qing, and her two brothers.

After so many days of living together, she became more and more greedy for the warmth given by her family. If she were asked to leave suddenly, she would actually be a little hesitant.

"Anyway, the emperor doesn't know that you are not dead yet. Let's wait until he finds out." Wen Shutang said slowly, touching his chin.

Xiao Yizhuo nodded slightly. He had already sent people to inquire about the news. His men had not reported back any news that His Majesty had taken any action. When the time really came, he would definitely protect her and the children.

As the night deepened, the two did not say anything more.

Ever since Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo exchanged secrets, Wen Shutang always felt that something had changed about Xiao Yizhuo.

Now Xiao Yizhuo looked at her more and more undisguisedly. In the past, when he was caught stealing glances at her, he would pretend nothing happened and look away. But now that he was discovered, Xiao Yizhuo was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he stared at her more seriously.

Wen Shutang tried her best to ignore his gaze while doing her work, but she couldn't completely ignore it. When she was washing vegetables, she couldn't help but raised her hand and splashed a handful of water towards Xiao Yizhuo.

"Why are you staring at me?"

She didn't really want to splash Xiao Yizhuo, and the tiny drops of water fell to the ground without even touching the corner of Xiao Yizhuo's clothes.

Xiao Yizhuo did not change his movements. He glanced at the watermark on the ground and then looked up at Wen Shutang. His tone was righteous and he did not feel guilty at all for being caught peeking.

"My own wife, see what's going on."

Wen Shutang raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, her eyes falling on the three children who walked out of the house behind him. She raised the corners of her lips and looked at Xiao Yizhuo meaningfully, with a hint of teasing in her tone.

"What did you just say?"

"I say, what's wrong with my own wife looking at her a few more times?" Xiao Yizhuo did not notice the other emotions in Wen Shutang's eyes and repeated it decisively without any hesitation.

Hearing this, the children standing behind him were stunned. They had never seen their father like this before.

Xiao Wan covered her mouth and laughed: "Dad, shame on you."

Xiao Ye and Xiao Ze also looked at Xiao Yizhuo and smiled secretly.

Hearing Xiao Wan's voice, Xiao Yizhuo paused, turned back stiffly to look at the three children, and immediately understood the strange emotion in Wen Shutang's eyes.

Looking at the smiles of the three children, Xiao Yizhuo felt for the first time what it meant to be humiliated. He turned around and looked at Wen Shutang helplessly.

She must have done it on purpose.

Seeing Xiao Yizhuo's expression, Wen Shutang couldn't help laughing out loud, and his eyes curved into crescent shapes.

It's also fun to watch handsome guys make fools of themselves.

Looking at Wen Shutang's happy smile, Xiao Yizhuo was slightly stunned. It seemed that it would be nice to make her happy.

Xiao Ze's gaze moved back and forth between the two of them, and he pursed his lips in a faint smile.

In the past few days, he clearly felt that the relationship between his parents had become better, which was a good thing.

Time passed quickly, five days passed quickly, and Pei Sheng arrived as scheduled.

When he came over with Song Zhoubai, Wen Shutang was feeding rabbits with Xiao Wan in the yard.

Wen Shutang caught a glimpse of the two figures from the corner of his eye and naturally knew why they came.

Pei Sheng walked up to Wen Shutang and bowed, saying, "Madam Wen, I am here to bother you again."

Before Wen Shutang could speak, Song Zhoubai spoke first, with a faint smile on his face: "Madam Wen, you must be getting used to the sudden arrival of Ah Sheng and me."

Wen Shutang nodded. Indeed, it was hard not to get used to the frequency of these two people visiting the courtyard.

"Indeed, what are you two here for this time?" Wen Shutang put the leaves in his hand into the cage, and the two rabbits obediently returned to the cage and ate quietly.

When Xiao Wan saw the two uncles coming, she stood up and said sensibly, "Mom, I'll go get some water."

Wen Shutang did not stop him: "Be careful, don't burn yourself."

After Xiao Wan left, Pei Sheng looked at Wen Shutang with a bit of fanaticism in his eyes.

"I came here this time to tell you that all the tea I bought last time has been sold. Three kilograms of tea were sold out in less than three days. I made more than ten taels of silver. Many people came here. Even now, some people still ask me if I still sell tea. Now it seems that this method is feasible."
