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

Wen Shutang took a step forward, looked Tang Mengyan up and down, and clicked his tongue twice.

Tang Mengyan felt uncomfortable being stared at by her. She frowned and asked her in confusion, "What are you looking at?"

"See if your skin is thicker than the city wall." Wen Shutang responded with a smile.

Hearing this, Tang Mengyan was immediately furious, pointing at Wen Shutang and speaking in a high-pitched voice: "What did you say? How dare you call me shameless!"

"How can this be considered an insult? Isn't this a compliment to you? It's great to be thick-skinned. Even arrows can't penetrate you and you can protect yourself. Just like now, you are so thick-skinned that you can't even see other people's disgust. I really don't know whether to say you are naive or stupid." The smile on Wen Shutang's face gradually faded, replaced by a cold look.

Tang Mengyan's face flushed, and she was anxious but couldn't find any suitable words to fight back: "You, you! You are so vulgar, Brother Xiao, look at her, how can such a person be worthy of you, and this run-down and dirty village, how can you live in this place! Brother Xiao, please come back with me soon, His Majesty is so generous, he will definitely not care about what happened in the past. Only I can help you, only my family background can help you make a comeback!"

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, as if she had already regarded herself as Xiao Yizhuo's savior.

Tang Mengyan fixed her sights on Xiao Yizhuo, her eyes full of hope, hoping to see his expression moved by this condition.

Xiao Yizhuo glanced at her expressionlessly: "Relying on your wife's family background to gain glory, doing such a thing is a disgrace to the family. Besides, everything in my family is decided by my wife, and my wife will speak for me for everything that comes next."

After saying that, he stood behind Wen Shutang with a proud look on his face, acting as a qualified background board.

Wen Shutang nodded with a smile: "Miss Tang, you heard it. Just tell me what you want to say. What did you just say? Only your family background can help him make a comeback?"

Tang Mengyan didn't expect that Xiao Yizhuo would actually put aside his dignity as a man and listen to this woman.

She frowned and looked at Wen Shutang with eyes full of resentment.

If this woman hadn't broken into Brother Xiao's world when she was away, the person standing next to Brother Xiao now should be her!

She should be the one who is treated so gently by Brother Xiao!

It's all this woman's fault!

"Yes! I do have a good family background. My Tang family is so powerful and gracious. How can a country girl like you compare to that? If you know what's good for you, return Brother Xiao to me and don't block his path to promotion!"

Hearing what she said, Wen Shutang snorted coldly: "Based on this statement, the woman standing next to him will definitely not be you."

After a pause, Wen Shutang continued in a cold voice: "He has never been for fame, wealth and status. He is for the common people of the world, for the millions of civilians who are still suffering, the old and the young, women and children. He is completely different from you who are completely corrupt from the inside!"

Xiao Yizhuo, who was standing behind her, looked at her back with gentle eyes, with an inexplicable emotion lingering in his heart, as if his years of hard work were suddenly understood by others, feeling sad and moved.

Mu Zhu, who was in the dark, nudged Mu Yin with his elbow, signaling him to look over.

"Now you know why I said that our young master's wife can only be Miss Wen, right?"

Mu Yin looked at Wen Shutang's back and nodded thoughtfully.

When he first heard Mu Zhu talk about how great the young master's wife was, he thought he was bragging. But when he saw her today, based on what she said, Mu Yin felt that the young master's wife did not look that mediocre.

After hearing what she said, Tang Mengyan was speechless. She opened her mouth but found that she could not say anything.

Yes, if Brother Xiao was really the kind of person who pursued fame, wealth and power, then why would he leave the prosperous capital alone? With his ability, wouldn't it be enough for him to put down his burden and find an idle job in the capital and just live on the salary?

Why was she attracted to Brother Xiao? Wasn't it because she was attracted by his non-confrontational, indifferent and self-assured character?

Thinking of this, Tang Mengyan suddenly realized that although she had known Brother Xiao for decades, she didn't understand him as well as the woman in front of her.

Wen Shutang raised his eyebrows when she didn't say anything: "Why? Do you also think I'm right?"

Tang Mengyan couldn't bring herself to admit that she agreed with what she said. She turned her head away awkwardly and snorted.

"Don't think you know Brother Xiao very well. You just happened to show up when Brother Xiao needed someone's company the most. Don't come and lecture me. Brother Xiao, are you really so sure about choosing her?" Tang Mengyan looked at Xiao Yizhuo.

Xiao Yizhuo didn't even glance at her.

Seeing this, Tang Mengyan already knew his choice and laughed at herself: "I know, Brother Xiao, my brother will come to Qingshui Town soon. If you really don't want to go back to the capital, leave quickly."

After saying that, he quickly left with Bihe.

Looking at her hurriedly leaving, Wen Shutang was a little surprised and looked back at Xiao Yizhuo.

She thought this person would be difficult to deal with, but she didn't expect him to leave so soon before she even started to exert her strength.

Xiao Yizhuo shook his head and didn't know what was going on.

Bi He followed her young lady all the way to the village entrance. She looked at Tang Mengyan with some concern and whispered, "Young lady, are you okay?"

Tang Mengyan shook her head and looked back in the direction of Xiao Yizhuo: "It's okay, what can happen to me? Anyway, I won't give up. As long as there is a chance, I will definitely take Brother Xiao back from that woman, but I will rely on fair and just means."

She took a deep breath, turned around and strode out of the village: "Bihe, let's go quickly, this place is really not suitable for me. Let's go back to the inn in the town first, and then set off for the capital city tomorrow. If we delay any longer, we might really be discovered by our eldest brother!"

Bi He stared blankly at her young lady's back, unable to react for a moment.

She was really surprised that the lady was so frank.

It was not until Tang Mengyan walked away and called her that she came to her senses.

"Hey, Miss, I'm here!"

The master and servant left Da'an Village and returned to Qingshui Town. As soon as Tang Mengyan entered the inn, she saw the elegant man sitting in the middle of the lobby.

The innkeeper stood by trembling with fear, not daring to breathe, for fear of angering this gentleman.

The moment Tang Mengyan saw her elder brother, she turned around and wanted to run.

Tang Fusheng just lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, then uttered two words with his thin lips: "Stop."

Tang Mengyan stopped uncontrollably, turned her head stiffly and forced a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Big brother."
