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

With Uncle Wu's instructions, Lai Shun and several young people immediately started working enthusiastically.

Wen Shutang and his family returned to the inn. Now that the sun was setting, it was time to rest.

Wen Shutang sent the children back to their rooms and told them to go to bed early, then she returned to the master bedroom.

Xiao Yizhuo was sitting at the table waiting for her. When he saw Wen Shutang coming back, he stood up and locked the door.

He turned around and looked at Wen Shutang, and said in a calm tone: "Muzhu and the others have news. I will call them over now. You can listen together."

Hearing this, Wen Shutang nodded, sat on the stool, poured himself a glass of water, and drank several gulps.

After getting Wen Shutang's response, Xiao Yizhuo walked to the window and opened it, then raised his hand and whistled outside.

In a moment, a black figure flashed into the room.

Mu Zhu, wearing a black nightgown, knelt on one knee in front of Xiao Yizhuo and Wen Shutang, and spoke respectfully.

"Greetings, young master, ma'am."

Xiao Yizhuo hummed, and then said: "Tell me about it."

Mu Zhu knelt on one knee with his head down and began to explain the current situation to the two of them.

"Mu Yin sent a message saying that Master Fang Wenhe has now left Qingshui Town and Baiping Town with all his followers, but we don't know if he has really left. As for whether they have set up spies in the town, Mu Xia has already gone back to investigate and there will be news soon. In addition, the Zhao brothers and sisters who stayed in Fengzhen to preside over the provincial examination have also made some movements. Miss Zhao has already left for the capital with a woman, and Master Zhao Linhe is still staying in Fengzhen, preparing for various matters related to the provincial examination. He should not have any intention of leaving."

Listening to Mu Zhu's report, Wen Shutang nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that Fang Wenhe did not find any information about Xiao Yizhuo in Qingshui Town. After all, Xiao Yizhuo had not lived in the town for too long. He had always lived with her in Da'an Village a few miles away. So it was normal that no information could be found in the town. After all, few people in the town knew about the couple.

Now I don’t know whether Fang Wenhe has set up spies around Qingshui Town and Baiping Town. It seems that we have to wait for Mu Xia to come back after investigation before making further plans.

If not, they could go home directly. If Fang Wenhe really set up spies around Qingshui Town and Baiping Town, then they would probably have to stay outside.

Wen Shutang actually wanted to go back a little. He had been staying outside for such a long time, almost more than a month. He guessed that Liu Sufen and Wen Qing had started to worry about them.

Thinking of her honest and loyal parents, Wen Shutang couldn't help but feel a little soft in her heart. She also felt the feeling of homesickness.

So this is how it feels to have someone you care about, Wen Shutang sighed silently in his heart.

Xiao Yizhuo turned his head to look at her, probably guessing what Wen Shutang was thinking at the moment, then looked at Mu Zhu and asked in a low voice.

"How many days will Mu Xia be able to return?"

"Young Master, Mu Xia has been gone for two days. He will probably be back tomorrow at full speed." Mu Zhu calculated the days and responded respectfully.

"Okay, report back as soon as Mu Xia comes back." Xiao Yizhuo responded, then waved his hand to signal Mu Zhu that he could leave.

Mu Zhu lowered his head and said yes, then quickly left the room.

Wen Shutang was already accustomed to Mu Zhu's disappearing without a trace. He stood up and walked to the window and closed it.

She turned around and looked at Xiao Yizhuo: "It seems that we will know tomorrow whether we can go back."

"Well, Madam has been away for so long, I'm afraid you must be missing home." Xiao Yizhuo stood up, put his arms around Wen Shutang's waist from behind, put his head on her shoulder and asked in a low voice.

Wen Shutang stood in front of the window and let Xiao Yizhuo hug her from behind: "Well, it's true that there is a little bit. I guess my parents should be worried about us now."

Hearing this, Xiao Yizhuo's heart tightened, fearing that Wen Shutang would feel sad because of this, and he tightened his arms around her waist.

Xiao Yizhuo said firmly: "Madam, don't worry, this kind of thing will not happen again in the future. It's hard for you and the children to run around because of me."

Hearing his words, Wen Shutang shook her head. She didn't mean to blame Xiao Yizhuo, she just felt a little emotional.

"It's okay. You and I are one now, so don't talk about this."

Xiao Yizhuo turned her around and looked at her with a look of tenderness in his eyes: "Thank you, ma'am."

Wen Shutang looked up at him and said, "Why are you thanking me? If you really want to thank me, just give me a shoulder massage. I'm really a little tired from all the free clinics I've been doing these days."

Xiao Yizhuo chuckled, then lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Wen Shutang's. His voice was low and his tone was gentle and affectionate.

"Okay, I will massage your shoulders right now."

Hearing his voice, Wen Shutang swallowed involuntarily, and the sound of swallowing was clearly audible.

It's really unfair for this man to say such gentle words with such a handsome face. Who wouldn't drool after seeing this?

It’s really not her fault that she has no future, it’s just that this guy is so handsome.

Wen Shutang stretched out his hand and pushed Xiao Yizhuo's chest, looking away somewhat unnaturally: "Well... well, there's no rush to massage your shoulders. It's late at night, so let's rest first. Oh, I don't know what happened to me today. Why am I so tired? I'm so sleepy. I'm going to bed first."

As she spoke, she pretended to yawn and walked towards the bed.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yizhuo stood there, smiled and said nothing more, the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowing.

Wen Shutang climbed onto the bed and lay down. Xiao Yizhuo followed him over, extinguished the candle, and lay down on the bed next to Wen Shutang.

"Good night, madam. Have a good rest." Xiao Yizhuo leaned sideways, his pair of black eyes were very bright even at night, and could not be ignored.

Wen Shutang was stunned for a moment when he saw his eyes: "Ah...well, Ye An, you too."

After saying this, Wen Shutang immediately closed his eyes and calmed his pounding heart.

The affection in Xiao Yizhuo's eyes frightened her, and her heart began to beat wildly the moment she saw Xiao Yizhuo's eyes.

Is this what people often call palpitations? Wen Shutang's breathing became a little rapid, and the thoughts in his head became more and more confused.

Suddenly, I felt a sinking sensation at my waist, and when I opened my eyes, I found Xiao Yizhuo's face was very close to me.

Xiao Yizhuo held her in his arms, and perhaps noticing Wen Shutang's surprised look, Xiao Yizhuo explained in a low voice.

"I've been used to sleeping with my wife in my arms these past few days, and it's really hard to get used to having an empty arms now."

The heat from Xiao Yizhuo's words fell on Wen Shutang's cheek, causing her to shrink her neck unconsciously.

Noticing Wen Shutang's little action, Xiao Yizhuo chuckled and said nothing more.
