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

Wen Shutang nodded in understanding. Although Wen Ruizhou and Wen Yaoshi now opened a shop in the town, he still had to help his father work in the fields every day when he returned home. Otherwise, there was so much work to do in the fields that Wen Qing could not do it all by himself.

"Okay, then I'll help mom cook." Wen Shutang said as he rolled up his sleeves.

Liu Sufen waved her hand: "Why do you need me? You're back home now. Why do you need me to cook? Besides, I've almost prepared everything."

"Mom, please don't say that. I'm not at home most of the time and can't help you with anything. Now that I'm back, I have to help you cook." Wen Shutang took Liu Sufen's hand and said with a smile.

Liu Sufen looked at her with satisfaction and patted the back of Wen Shutang's hand: "My little Qiu'er has really grown up and knows how to work for her. Well, let's take this opportunity to have a personal chat."

"Okay."

Xiao Ye walked forward and hugged Liu Sufen's thighs, looking up at her with a smile: "Hello, grandma!"

Liu Sufen lowered her head and looked at Xiao Ye, the kindness in her eyes almost overflowing. She reached out and touched his head with a gentle voice.

"Hey, our Xiaoye is really good. Are you hungry? Grandma will make you something delicious later."

"That's great. I haven't eaten grandma's cooking for a long time. I've been missing it for a long time." Xiao Ye smiled, making Liu Sufen even happier.

Xiao Ze and Xiao Wan also walked up to greet Liu Sufen. Looking at the children's smiles, Liu Sufen felt a little emotional, but more of it was relief and happiness.

"Great, my little Qiu'er is so blessed to have such well-behaved children."

Hearing this, Wen Shutang smiled but didn't say anything. She also felt that she was lucky to meet Xiao Yizhuo and his three children.

"Then I'll go to the field to see if there's anything I can help with." Xiao Yizhuo put the things in his hand on the table, said hello to Wen Shutang and Liu Sufen, then turned around and walked out.

Only then did Liu Sufen notice that there was a strange woman standing behind Xiao Yizhuo, and she immediately asked in confusion.

"Who is this?"

Wen Shutang pulled Mu Xia in front of him and introduced her to Liu Sufen: "Mother, this is a teacher I found for Wan'er. Her family is not here and there is no one around, so I brought her along."

Mu Xia looked at Liu Sufen nervously and greeted her stiffly: "Hello, Auntie. My name is Mu Xia."

Liu Sufen nodded and looked at Mu Xia with some kindness in her eyes. This woman looked to be the same age as her Xiao Qiuer.

"So that's how it is, female teachers are really rare, girl, just relax, it's just like being at home here. Girl, you look about the same age as my Xiao Qiuer, are you married now? How many people are there in your family?" Liu Sufen walked up to Mu Xia warmly, took her hand and started asking questions.

The twelve guards of Shadow Pavilion are all orphans. They have been trained since childhood to be emotionless killing machines. But now, facing the enthusiastic Mother Wen, Mu Xia actually felt a long-lost warmth for the first time. She answered somewhat helplessly.

"I am the only one in my family and I am not married yet."

When Liu Sufen heard Mu Xia say that he was unmarried, her eyes suddenly lit up and she immediately wanted to mention her second son.

Seeing that Liu Sufen wanted to continue asking questions, Mu Xia looked at Wen Shutang awkwardly and helplessly. Although the lady had good intentions in taking her back to the village, she really didn't expect that the lady's mother would be so enthusiastic.

Knowing that Liu Sufen was going to mention Wen Yaoshi next, Wen Shutang immediately stepped forward and rescued Mu Xia from her embarrassing situation in a timely manner.

"Okay, mother, you will scare Miss Mucha by asking this. Let's go and prepare dinner. Father and older brothers will be back soon. Don't we have to go to Grandma Cui's house? If we delay any longer, we will miss the opportunity." Wen Shutang said with a smile.

After hearing what Wen Shutang said, Liu Sufen slapped her head and said, "Oh, yes, I almost forgot about it because I was so excited. Right, it's more important to prepare dinner. Miss Mucha, right? You play with the children for a while. Auntie will cook for you. You can try my cooking later."

"Hey, well, I can help with that." Mu Xia felt a little embarrassed. After all, she was a servant. How could she let her master prepare dinner for her?

Before Liu Sufen could speak, Wen Shutang smiled and refused: "It's okay, Mucha, just wait patiently, it will be fine in a while, you can follow Wan'er to see my sister-in-law."

After hearing what Wen Shutang said, Mu Xia still felt a little guilty. She wanted to say something else, but someone suddenly pulled her sleeve. She looked down and saw Xiao Wan looking at her with a smile.

"Sister, let's go see my aunt. She is pregnant with a little sister." Xiao Wan blinked her big eyes and looked at Mu Xia.

Mu Xia's heart was so soft when she saw this. She turned around to look at Wen Shutang, and saw her waving at her. Then she followed Xiao Wan to the side room.

Xiao Wan lifted the curtain and shouted excitedly: "Aunt! Wan'er is here to see you!"

Zhou Tong was leaning on the bed doing needlework. When she heard the sound, she put down what she was doing and looked at Xiao Wan with eyes full of surprise and fondness.

"Wan'er is here, come here quickly and let your aunt take a good look. Oh, our Wan'er has grown taller, she has become a big girl, so beautiful." Zhou Tong pulled Xiao Wan in front of her and looked at her carefully. The love in her eyes almost overflowed. She was about to give birth now, and she imagined the child's appearance every day. She also wanted a daughter as well-behaved as Xiao Wan.

Xiao Wan stood in front of Zhou Tong and happily let her play with her: "Hey, aunt, Wan'er has grown taller. Mother also said so."

"Yes, you've really grown up a lot." Zhou Tong touched her little face lovingly, and was stunned when she saw Mu Xia standing at the door out of the corner of her eye.

"This is?"

"Sister is the teacher my mother found for me. Now sister teaches me every day." Xiao Wan explained enthusiastically, and then pulled Mu Xia to the bedside and introduced her to Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong nodded, her eyes still gentle: "Sister, what's your name? I'm heavy and can't pour you some water, please forgive me."

"My name is Mu Xia, it's okay, it's okay." Mu Xia waved her hands quickly, her eyes fell on Zhou Tong's bulging belly, and she inexplicably felt a strange feeling.

She had been a Shadow Guard for so many years, and most of the time she had been killing people or on her way to kill people. She couldn't remember how long it had been. This was the first time that Mu Xia had seen a pregnant woman at such a close distance since she became a Shadow Guard.

Mu Xia could feel the woman in front of her looking forward to her newborn baby, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back. She had killed too many people and didn't want to pass on the bloody smell and sinful anger on her body to Zhou Tong and the child in her belly.

The master's family are all good people, and she doesn't want to bring them bad luck.
