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

When they approached, they saw a woman standing at the door with her hands behind her back, as if waiting for someone.

The woman heard the voice behind her, turned around, and her gaze fell on Xiao Yizhuo's face. Respect flashed in her eyes, and she subconsciously wanted to kneel down, but after realizing her current identity, she stopped the action of kneeling.

Wen Shutang noticed her movements and understood that this person must be the knowledgeable female teacher in the Shadow Pavilion that Xiao Yizhuo mentioned.

Mu Xia saluted to Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo, and said respectfully: "My name is Mu Xia, nice to meet you, Madam."

Wen Shutang nodded and walked forward to help Mu Xia up: "You are the teacher that my husband found, right?"

Mu Xia nodded slightly as a sign of agreement. She was very surprised when she heard Mu Zhu say in Yingge that the young master wanted her to teach the young lady. Of course, the young master's orders could not be disobeyed, so she changed out of the black tights that were convenient for fighting and put on a plain and elegant long skirt.

It had been a long time since she wore such a complicated skirt, and Mu Xia was a little uncomfortable for a moment.

The three children stood behind Wen Shutang. Xiao Wan tilted her head and looked at the elder sister in a white dress in front of her and asked.

"Mom, who is this sister?"

"This is the teacher your father found for you. He will be the one teaching you in the future." Hearing Xiao Wan's question, Wen Shutang turned around, squatted in front of Xiao Wan, touched her head, and began to introduce Mu Xia's identity to Xiao Wan.

When Xiao Wan heard Wen Shutang say that this sister was her teacher, she was obviously stunned and then her eyes flashed with intense surprise.

She didn't expect that her parents would really find a teacher for her, nor did she expect that this teacher would be a woman.

Mu Xia's arrival made Xiao Wan feel that women are no worse than men.

Xiao Wan walked forward and bowed to Mu Xia, her tone very respectful: "Wan'er greets the Master."

This action of hers startled Mu Xia, who quickly stepped forward to help Xiao Wan up, waving her hands and saying, "I don't have so many rules here, Wan'er can just call me sister."

Are you kidding? She is the young master's daughter. No matter how you look at it, she is the young master she is supposed to serve. She doesn't even have the courage to agree to let the young master call her Master.

"How can this be possible? Wan'er is accepting the Master's teachings, so how can she not use respectful titles?" Xiao Wan said seriously.

Wen Shutang knew that this little girl was also stubborn and would not change her mind easily once she made up her mind about something. She gave Mu Xia a look and then said.

"It is right to respect teachers. Miss Mu Xia, please don't refuse. If you don't let Wan'er call you Master, she will not feel at ease."

Hearing the young lady's words, Mu Xia hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Xiao Yizhuo who had not expressed his opinion. Only after getting his affirmation did Mu Xia feel relieved.

"Well, you can call me Master when I teach you things every day, but you can call me Sister on weekdays."

Xiao Wan was happy now, and a smile appeared on her pretty face: "Yes! Wan'er knows."

"Okay, it's getting late. Let's go inside and talk. Don't stand at the door." Wen Shutang said with a smile, then took the lead to walk into the yard and invited Mu Xia to come in.

Mu Xia followed Xiao Yizhuo respectfully, and the three children did not notice the different attitude of the female teacher towards their father.

Xiao Ye and Xiao Ze were still very curious about this female teacher. It was also the first time for them to see a woman serving as a teacher. After all, there were no female teachers in the academy.

Wen Shutang poured Mu Xia a cup of hot tea and handed it to her: "It's getting late, why don't you rest here, Miss Mu Xia?"

Mu Xia was flattered and took the teacup handed over by Wen Shutang. After taking a sip, he showed hesitation on his face when he heard this: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's so late, it's not safe for Miss Mu Xia to go back alone. By the way, where do you live?" Wen Shutang asked as he sat opposite Mu Xia.

Hearing Wen Shutang's question, Mu Xia fell silent. To be honest, she received the order too hastily and has not found a place to live yet.

She put her fist to her lips and coughed a few times to hide her embarrassment: "Well, I have just arrived in town and I am currently living in an inn. I don't have a fixed place."

Hearing this, Wen Shutang immediately understood, and glanced at Xiao Yizhuo, thinking to himself that this man asked others to come for help but didn't even find a good place for them to live. His young master was a little too unreliable.

Xiao Yizhuo naturally thought of this, avoiding Wen Shutang's sight and touching his nose. He suddenly thought that Mu Xia could teach Xiao Wan to give orders in a hurry, so it was understandable that he didn't have time to prepare thoroughly.

"So that's how it is. That's great. Miss Mucha can live here in the future. It will also be convenient for you to teach Wan'er knowledge without her having to run back and forth." Wen Shutang said with a smile.

Looking at Wen Shutang's smile, Mu Xia was a little unresponsive for a moment. After a while, he came back to his senses and quickly waved his hand to refuse.

"No, no, I can just stay at the inn. Living here would be a bit of a bother to Madam."

"What's there to bother you about? There are still many rooms in the yard, so it's okay. Besides, our family is very grateful to the young lady for teaching Wan'er." Wen Shutang waved his hand, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

Mu Xia was shocked by the young lady at this moment. After all, secret guards like them were not allowed to see the light of day. Generally, the powerful and wealthy would treat them as subordinates and servants. Logically speaking, the master would not bother to live with the servants.

But the young lady now took the initiative to let her stay. Doesn’t the lady know that she is the young master’s subordinate?

Mu Xia complained in his heart and looked at Wen Shutang with some doubt in his eyes.

Seeing Mu Xia's gaze, Wen Shutang smiled and said, "Miss, you don't have to look at me like that. I know where you are from. You can stay here without worry. Just think of it as a convenience for teaching Wan'er."

Hearing this, Mu Xia's heart trembled. It seemed that the lady knew her identity, so why did she let her live at home? Didn't the lady despise her for being a slave?

A series of questions came to her mind, but Mu Xia couldn't ask a single question, which made her feel a little frustrated.

Xiao Wan spoke at the right time, walked to Mu Xia's side and gently grabbed her sleeve: "Sister, please stay. You can live in the room next to Wan'er."

Mu Xia looked down at the little girl's serious face and felt a little shaken. She glanced at Xiao Yizhuo and found that he didn't have any other expression, so she felt a little relieved.

Since the young master didn't say anything to stop me, it should be okay, right?

"Well, thank you very much, ma'am, for bothering me."

"Okay, that's fine. I won't bother you anymore. Wan'er, please take Miss Mucha to see the house." Wen Shutang raised his chin to signal Xiao Wan.

Xiao Wan immediately laughed and took Mu Xia's hand and walked towards her room.

"Sister, come with me."
