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

Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo chatted with Fang Wenhe for a while. After learning about the current situation in the capital, they planned to leave Zuixianlou and go back to the inn to see the children. They were always worried about leaving the three children alone in the inn.

Xiao Yizhuo put on his hat again to cover his face.

The two men stood up, opened the door and left the box. Fang Wenhe followed behind them and intended to see them off.

Just as they were going downstairs, Wen Shutang suddenly heard a familiar call.

"Madam Wen?" Pei Sheng's voice was filled with surprise.

Wen Shutang looked up and found that the person coming was Pei Sheng. He was a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance so soon.

Pei Sheng walked quickly to Wen Shutang's side and said, "Madam Wen, why did you come to the capital? Why didn't you tell me before you came so that I could go and greet you."

"I'm here to do some things, just some small things. How could I alarm Boss Pei?" Wen Shutang joked with a smile.

Hearing this, Pei Sheng waved his hands quickly: "What big boss? I'm just doing a small business."

Fang Wenhe, who was standing by, heard this and snorted with his arms folded. His tone was a bit teasing: "Ah Sheng, you are a little too modest. You have only been in Beijing for a month, and you have already made Ruyue Pavilion as big as Zuixianlou. If your business is a small one, then my Zuixianlou is nothing but child's play."

"No way, Young Master Fang, please stop joining in the fun and teasing me. I can achieve what I have now thanks to you, Young Master Fang. If it weren't for your intentional cultivation, I wouldn't have achieved success so quickly." Pei Sheng laughed in silence and bowed to Fang Wenhe, his tone full of respect.

Fang Wenhe waved his hand: "You must be capable. Otherwise, even if I help you, you can't do it. You are different from those useless people."

Fang Wenhe spoke highly of Pei Sheng, but Wen Shutang was not surprised by this; rather, it was within her expectations.

After all, Pei Sheng is going to be an imperial merchant in the future.

Pei Sheng's eyes fell on Wen Shutang again, and he asked with a smile: "When did Miss Wen arrive in the capital?"

"We just arrived yesterday. My husband has some friendship with Young Master Fang, so we came here today to visit an old friend." Wen Shutang explained simply.

These words made Pei Sheng freeze in place. He turned slightly to look at Xiao Yizhuo who was standing behind Wen Shutang.

I didn't expect that this man who doesn't talk much on weekdays actually knows Young Master Fang from the capital, and they have some friendship.

Pei Sheng had an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

"So that's how it is. I thought Madam Wen and Young Master Fang were working together and wanted to discuss business together, so they got together." Pei Sheng smiled and nodded, saying something insincere.

Xiao Yizhuo, who was wearing a bamboo hat, frowned slightly and looked up at the man in front of him, feeling inexplicably hostile towards him.

Wen Shutang did not notice the strange magnetic field between the two: "No, I came here with my husband today."

However, Fang Wenhe seemed to have noticed something. He glanced at Pei Sheng, then turned to look at Xiao Yizhuo, and smiled with interest.

"That's right. It's a coincidence that we meet today. Why don't we have a simple meal together?" Pei Sheng invited in a gentlemanly manner.

Wen Shutang was about to speak, but Xiao Yizhuo spoke before her: "We appreciate Mr. Pei's kindness, but the children are still in the inn, so it's not convenient."

Hearing this, Wen Shutang also nodded and agreed, "Yes, my husband and I are really worried about the children staying in the inn by themselves. Let's wait until next time, and if there is a chance, we can have dinner together again."

Seeing this, Pei Sheng could no longer insist and had to give up.

"Okay, let's have dinner together next time we have a chance."

Wen Shutang nodded, and the two of them said goodbye to Fang Wenhe and Pei Sheng before leaving Zuixianlou.

Fang Wenhe and Pei Sheng stood at the entrance of Zuixianlou and watched the two people leave.

"Do you know my sister-in-law?" Fang Wenhe asked calmly.

Pei Sheng was slightly stunned, and after a moment he realized that the sister-in-law Fang Wenhe was referring to was Wen Shutang.

He nodded: "Yes, it turns out that we met in Qingshui Town. I did business with Miss Wen."

Fang Wenhe responded with understanding and said nothing more.

Pei Sheng pursed his lips, feeling a little conflicted. In the end, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Why does Master Fang call Miss Wen sister-in-law?"

"Her husband saved my life before, and since then I have regarded him as my elder brother. Miss Wen is my elder brother's wife, so it is of course okay for me to call her sister-in-law."

Hearing Pei Sheng's question, Fang Wenhe turned around with a smile and explained to him the relationship between him and Wen Shutang and his wife.

After finishing speaking, Fang Wenhe turned around and patted Pei Sheng on the shoulder, his smiling tone tinged with an inexplicable coldness.

"Big brother and sister-in-law are a perfect match. They are indeed a pair of heavenly lovers that others envy. Ah Sheng, don't you agree?"

Hearing this, Pei Sheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat and his body stiffened a little. After he came to his senses, he nodded and forced a smile.

"Indeed, Miss Wen and Mr. Xiao are indeed a good match."

Hearing his answer, Fang Wenhe nodded with satisfaction, put his hands behind his back and walked into Zuixianlou first.

"Let's go upstairs and talk about our cooperation."

Pei Sheng raised his head and looked in the direction where Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo had left. A faint light flashed in his eyes and his expression was gloomy and unclear, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a moment, he calmed down, his signature smile reappeared on his face, and he turned around and followed Fang Wenhe's steps to go upstairs.

Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo returned to the inn, and the first thing they did was to check on the children.

Xiao Ze and Xiao Ye lived in the same room, and Xiao Ye was lying on the bed sleeping.

Xiao Ze was quietly reviewing his homework in the room, reciting seriously. Wen Shutang just took a look at the door and left without disturbing the serious Xiao Ze.

It is very uncomfortable when your train of thought is suddenly interrupted by others while studying.

Wen Shutang went to Xiao Wan's room, opened the door and found Xiao Wan holding a silver needle in her hand and a little straw man on the table.

Wen Shutang was stunned, and walked forward to ask: "Wan'er, what are you doing?"

Xiao Wan turned around and saw that it was Wen Shutang. Her big round eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled sweetly, "Mom, you're back. I'm practicing acupuncture. Look at this scarecrow. It was given to me by my eldest brother. It's just right for me to use it to familiarize myself with the meridians and acupuncture points."

Wen Shutang took a closer look and realized that the scarecrow looked very familiar. It was the small gift that Xiao Ze bought for Xiao Wan on the way back to Beijing.

Looking at the scarecrow that was covered with silver needles, Wen Shutang's mouth twitched.

Why did she remember that the scarecrow was originally wearing delicate and pretty little clothes and a small hat, and looked very delicate and cute.

Now the scarecrow is almost torn apart.

Wen Shutang couldn't help but secretly complain. Xiao Ze originally thought that Xiao Wan was a little girl and would like such delicate things, but he didn't expect that his little sister would actually use such a cute thing to practice.
