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

Qing Niang looked at the way the brother and sister got along with each other and couldn't help but smack her lips. It seemed that Lord Zhao only looked approachable, but he was still quite strict towards his sister.

Seeing the usually clever Zhao Fuqiu being suppressed by Zhao Linhe into a well-behaved little quail, Qing Niang could hardly suppress the smile on her lips. She smiled faintly as she squinted her eyes at the two siblings.

Hearing Zhao Linhe's question, Qingniang was stunned at first, then shook her head: "I don't know who Miss Wen is. She didn't reveal where her family came from. She just said that she brought her children out to play."

"Did they say where they are going next?" Zhao Linhe asked immediately, somewhat unwilling to give up.

Listening to Zhao Fuqiu's description of Wen Shutang's heroic appearance, he became extremely curious about this woman who could defeat three or four gangsters on her own.

The last time I heard about a woman who was so good at fighting was when I was listening to foreign envoys telling anecdotes in the imperial palace in the capital.

Zhao Linhe had never seen a woman with such skills, and he couldn't help but feel curious. On the one hand, he wanted to thank Wen Shutang in person for saving his sister, and on the other hand, he wanted to see what this woman with extraordinary skills looked like.

Qing Niang still shook her head and responded, "They left in such a hurry this morning that they left without saying a few words. I didn't feel comfortable asking because I was afraid of offending them."

Hearing what Qingniang said, Zhao Linhe nodded somewhat disappointedly: "So that's how it is, then maybe we really are not destined to be together."

But for some reason, Zhao Linhe suddenly felt puzzled. Why did this family leave so suddenly? Madam Qu and Fuqiu didn't know why they were so anxious to leave Fengzhen. It must have been a sudden decision.

What on earth could have made this family suddenly decide to leave the town in the middle of the night?

Zhao Linhe lowered his head, a hint of hesitation and doubt flashed in his sharp eyes. He could only think of two reasons.

One possibility is that something really happened in their home and they needed to rush back immediately. Another possibility is that they might be hiding from someone.

Thinking of the latter possibility, Zhao Linhe suddenly thought of the tall man sitting in the carriage that had just passed them on the street.

He was startled. Could it be that the man was not dead? And he got married and had children here?

Once you think of a result, the possibility of this result will be infinitely magnified. Zhao Linhe became a little anxious.

If that gentleman is really not dead, then the sky in the capital will change again.

No, he had to send someone to check. Zhao Linhe made a decision silently in his heart.

Zhao Fuqiu didn't notice that her elder brother looked strange, she just thought that he felt sorry that he couldn't thank Wen Shutang in person. After all, her elder brother was such a person who would repay a favor.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. If we are destined to meet again in the future, let's talk about your story, Qingniang." Zhao Fuqiu turned her head to look at Qingniang, her pretty face full of excitement.

"I have already made an agreement with my elder brother. When he is done with his work, I will take you back to the capital so that Qingniang and Lord Qu can be reunited."

Hearing what she said, Qingniang was stunned at first, then pursed her lips and whispered: "Then I'm sorry to bother you, sir. I'm going to the capital alone, it's really..."

Qing Niang didn't finish the rest of her words, but everyone present knew what she meant. They all understood that it was too dangerous for a woman to embark on such a long journey alone.

Zhao Linhe nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, Madam Qu. Brother Qu and I are colleagues in the court. We have the same political views and it's a pity that we met too late. Since you are his wife, I will naturally help you. Don't worry, we will set off to return to Beijing after I am done with this busy period."

Hearing his words, Qingniang raised her head and looked at the Zhao brothers and sisters gratefully: "Thank you very much, Qingniang will always remember this kindness in my heart."

"Oh, don't be so formal. By the way, big brother, can I come to play with Qingniang during this time? The post station is really boring. Don't worry, I will definitely bring a lot of guards this time, and nothing will happen again." Zhao Fuqiu looked back at her big brother and said cautiously, with a pleading tone in her voice.

She stayed at the post station every day and was almost going crazy from holding it in.

Zhao Linhe looked at his sister's pitiful appearance, feeling somewhat helpless. He raised his thin lips slightly and said, "Of course you can, but you have to return to the post station on time. I will assign two shadow guards to protect you. You are not allowed to run around anymore."

"Okay! I knew that big brother is the best!" Zhao Fuqiu, who was listless just now, became much more lively when she heard that she could go out of the post station to play openly.

The look in Zhao Linhe's eyes when he looked at Zhao Fuqiu was full of doting and love. He loved this sister the most since childhood and would never allow her to make any mistakes.

When he thought that there were actually gangsters who dared to covet his, Zhao Linhe's sister, he couldn't help but get angry. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he naturally would not let these gangsters go.

-

The sun was shining on the tree-lined path. Wen Shutang and his family had already walked out of Fengzhen. Walking on the warm path, they felt an indescribable sense of comfort.

Xiao Wan and Xiao Yizhuo sat in the front. The little girl was curious about everything. She looked at the ridge over there, then at the willow trees on the other side.

Xiao Yizhuo held the reins with one hand and carefully protected his daughter's waist with the other hand to prevent her from falling off the carriage.

The family left Fengzhen early and arrived at a small village not far from Fengzhen before sunset, and found an inn to rest.

After settling the children, Wen Shutang returned to the room and sat at the table with Xiao Yizhuo to discuss the current situation.

Xiao Yizhuo pursed his lips and whispered, "When we left Fengzhen this morning, I seemed to see Zhao Linhe."

"Did you see it?" Wen Shutang was a little surprised.

After she realized what was happening, she immediately asked, "Did he see your face? Since you said so, it seems that the Zhao siblings are the brother and sister from Beijing."

Xiao Yizhuo nodded slightly and said in agreement: "Well, he probably didn't see me, but we can't be sure. He is a cautious person by nature, and he might have become suspicious. We should be careful in the future."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that I could run into someone from the capital just by going to Fengzhen. Isn't this the same feeling as being in Qingshui Town?" Wen Shutang pursed his lips. He didn't expect things to turn out like this. He could run into people from the capital wherever he went. It was really a bit unlucky.

Speaking of Qingshui Town, Wen Shutang suddenly thought of the young master of the Fang family, and couldn't help but ask: "By the way, how is Qingshui Town?"

"Muzhu and the others have been keeping an eye on us these past few days. I asked them to come over and talk." Xiao Yizhuo stood up and responded.
