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

Tang Fusheng waved at Kong Qing, signaling him to put his ear closer.

Kong Qing walked forward, bent down slightly and lowered his head. Tang Fusheng leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.

Kong Qing hesitated: "Master, will this anger General Xiao?"

"It's okay, just don't go too far. Go ahead." Tang Fusheng raised his chin without further explanation.

Hearing this, Kong Qing bent down and whispered yes before leaving the room. Only Tang Fusheng was left alone in the room, silent and no one knew what he was thinking about.

Kong Qing walked out of the room and found a few trusted servants he brought from the capital, and took them all to a separate room to give them a lecture.

"The young master has been raising you all the time, and now it's time to use you. You better be careful. Although I'm asking you to kidnap the child from that family, you must remember not to hurt the child in the slightest!"

The servants nodded in agreement. Kong Qing hummed, still feeling a little worried.

"Remember, if a child is hurt, you are the only one held responsible."

"Don't worry, Master Kong Qing. Our men know their limits and will never hurt anyone." The leader was a sturdier man, who responded in a rough voice.

"Well, you go now. Remember, don't hurt anyone from that family!" Kong Qing said in a serious tone, looking at the servants sharply.

He had been with Tang Fusheng for a long time, and now when he spoke, he unconsciously took on some of Tang Fusheng's angry manner.

Kong Qing stood at the door of the inn, watching the servants leave in the carriage. He frowned with some worry, fearing that this action would anger the lord.

Wen Shutang stayed in the town's milk tea shop to teach Zhou Tong how to make milk tea. The two men, Xiao Yizhuo and Wen Ruizhou, also coaxed the child without any complaints.

Fortunately, Wen Heng and Wen Jin were very obedient. They did not cry or struggle. They just quietly ate their little fingers, looking particularly cute.

It was not until dusk that the group realized it was getting late.

"It's getting late, little sister. We should go back and help mother prepare dinner." Zhou Tong turned her head to look at the dazzling golden sky outside and said with a smile.

Hearing what she said, Wen Shutang also looked back and said, "Okay, that's all for today, let's go back."

Zhou Tong nodded, washed off the fruit crumbs on her hands, turned around and walked to Wen Ruizhou, picked up the child, and touched Wen Heng's little face lovingly.

"Our Ah Heng is so well behaved. He didn't cry much the whole day."

Wen Heng immediately became very excited when he saw his familiar mother. He opened his mouth and babbled a few syllables in response to Zhou Tong.

Seeing this, Zhou Tong's eyes were filled with love and affection. She hugged Wen Heng in her arms and gave him a big kiss: "You are such a good son!"

Wen Jin, who had been lying quietly in Xiao Yizhuo's arms, seemed to feel half-left out and burst into tears, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Xiao Yizhuo's hands holding Wen Jin froze for a moment. He didn't know why the little girl in his arms, who had been so well-behaved all afternoon, suddenly started crying so hard.

As a mother, Zhou Tong immediately understood why her daughter was crying. She hurriedly walked to Xiao Yizhuo, took Wen Jin, held him in her arms, and coaxed him in a gentle voice.

"Our Jin'er is also very good. Like your brother, he is our mother's sweetheart."

Wen Jin seemed to understand and gradually calmed down with his mother's comfort.

Zhou Tong hugged Wen Jin and kissed Wen Jin's little face hard, her eyes full of love.

A smile broke out on Wen Jin's tearful face. He held onto Zhou Tong's fingers tightly and mumbled something.

Zhou Tong's heart softened when she saw this.

The group cleaned up the store and returned to Da'an Village. Xiao Yizhuo parked the carriage in front of his house. Wen Shutang got off the carriage first and walked into the yard, but after entering, he did not see any other people.

Wen Shutang was still a little confused, and secretly wondered if the children had gone to the village to play.

Just as she turned around and wanted to walk around the village, there was a rustling sound coming from the room behind her.

Wen Shutang looked up and saw Xiao Ye, covered in dust, crawling out of the haystack next to him.

He forcefully spat out the grass residue in his mouth, looked up and saw Wen Shutang and hurriedly said anxiously: "Mom! It's bad, my little sister has been captured!"

Wen Shutang was slightly startled when he heard this, and frowned instantly: "Who took him away? Do you have it in your hands? Where is Aze? And where are your grandfather and grandmother?"

Xiao Ye used his hands and feet to crawl out of the haystack and crawled to Wen Shutang's side. He grabbed the corner of her clothes and explained anxiously: "Mom, I'm fine. My eldest brother asked me to hide here and wait for my parents to come back. My younger sister was captured by a group of people. My eldest brother and Uncle Muzhu have already gone to chase the group of people. My grandfather is working in the fields, and my grandmother and some aunts have gone to the back mountain to dig bamboo shoots. Mom, please go and save my younger sister!"

Hearing what Xiao Ye said, Wen Shutang's heart suddenly went alarmed. Xiao Wan was still young. What if those people thought she was noisy and gave her some mute medicine or medicine that would damage her brain?

Hundreds of possible injuries that Xiao Wan might suffer suddenly emerged in Wen Shutang's mind.

She bent down with a gloomy face and put her hand on Xiao Ye's shoulder: "Aye, which direction did the group go?"

Xiao Ye raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the village entrance: "It's over there, mother. They just left not long ago, they shouldn't be far away."

Wen Shutang nodded and turned around to chase after them, but he saw Zhou Tong and Wen Ruizhou walking into the yard.

Her heart sank and she immediately whispered to Xiao Ye: "Aye, don't tell your uncle and aunt about what happened today. Don't let them worry, understand?"

Xiao Ye nodded and immediately patted the dust off his body: "Don't worry, mother, I know what to say."

Wen Shutang responded and turned around and walked quickly out of the yard, leaving a message for Zhou Tong as he passed by.

"Sister-in-law, I have something urgent to do, so I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he strode out of the yard, leaving Wen Ruizhou and Zhou Tong looking at each other in bewilderment.

As soon as Wen Shutang stepped out of the yard, she saw Xiao Yizhuo. Without saying a word, she grabbed Xiao Yizhuo's arm and walked quickly in the direction Xiao Ye had just pointed.

As she walked, she explained, "Someone took Wan'er away while we were away. Aze and Muzhu are chasing after them now. Let's go over there quickly. I'm afraid Wan'er might get hurt."

Hearing what she said, Xiao Yizhuo's face immediately became serious, and he grabbed her wrist with his backhand: "Ride a horse and chase her."

Xiao Yizhuo removed the heavy reins from the horse, climbed onto the horse, and stretched out his hand toward Wen Shutang.

Wen Shutang grabbed his hand without saying anything, and sat on the horse's back neatly and steadily.
