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

In a moment, a figure flipped down from the beam, and Mu Zhu half-knelt in front of Wen Shutang. He lowered his head so that his expression could not be seen clearly, but his tone was very respectful.

"lady."

Wen Shutang lowered his eyes and looked at Mu Zhu, who was wearing black clothes. He was stunned for a moment and then regained his calm expression.

Xiao Yizhuo had said before that he would leave some people at home. She originally wanted to test it out, but she didn't expect that someone would actually come out.

"Are you Xiao Yizhuo's subordinate?"

"Yes, my name is Muzhu."

"Is there anyone else around him now?" Wen Shutang frowned, took a deep breath and asked the question that worried him the most.

Mu Zhu paused, his voice still calm: "Usually subordinates follow, but this time the young master did not bring any secret guards."

When Wen Shutang heard this, his heart suddenly sank.

The snow hasn't stopped yet, and it looks like it might get heavier. If he can't get down the mountain quickly, the possibility of danger will double.

She was really worried about Xiao Yizhuo's situation now. She never expected that the villagers would leave him alone on the mountain.

Mu Zhu seemed to sense Wen Shutang's nervousness and whispered to comfort him, "Madam, don't worry too much. The young master's life used to be much more dangerous than this. Nothing will happen to him."

Wen Shutang did not feel better after hearing Mu Zhu's words of comfort, and still looked worried.

Although we know that Xiao Yizhuo's identity is not simple and he may have lived on the edge of a knife in the past, natural disasters and man-made disasters are incomparable.

What if he encountered some emergency? Would his cotton clothes be able to withstand such biting cold? What if he got lost in the snow and couldn't find the way down the mountain?

A series of questions popped up in Wen Shutang's mind.

She sighed: "You go first and just protect the three children."

"I will definitely protect the safety of the madam, the young lady and the young master." Mu Zhu replied with his head down, and then disappeared from Wen Shutang's sight in an instant.

Not even a trace of breath was left behind. Wen Shutang raised her eyebrows. This man's kung fu must be very good. She was now curious about Xiao Yizhuo's identity.

When she thought that Xiao Yizhuo was also a martial artist, her uneasiness was reduced a lot.

Just as she was calming down, she heard someone knocking on the door.

"Little sister, are you in there?"

Wen Shutang recognized it as Wen Yaoshi's voice, and she suddenly remembered that Wen Qing and Wen Yaoshi were also present when she questioned Chen Rui in public just now.

I guess Wen Yaoshi was a little worried when he saw how excited she was.

Wen Shutang stood up and opened the door, and sure enough, he saw Wen Yaoshi with a worried look on his face.

When Wen Yaoshi saw Wen Shutang walking out of the room, he immediately put away the worried expression on his face. He showed a relaxed expression and asked carefully.

"Little sister, how are you?"

"It's okay, second brother. I was too excited just now." Wen Shutang has regained his composure.

Wen Yaoshi carefully looked at the expression on her face and indeed did not see the coldness she had just seen, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"You scared me to death just now. Do you know how scary your expression is?"

He and Wen Shutang grew up together, and he had never seen his little sister show such a murderous expression from childhood to adulthood. He was so frightened that he forgot to go up and pull Wen Shutang.

Wen Shutang also knew that the expression she had just now should not appear on the face of a peasant woman who grew up in a mountain village, but she was so angry that she couldn't help it.

"I was a little worried when I heard that he was the only one left on the mountain."

Wen Yaoshi nodded: "What everyone did was indeed wrong. How could we leave someone alone in the mountains where it's still snowing heavily? What if something bad happens..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Before Wen Yaoshi could finish his words, he was interrupted by a cough. Wen Qing walked over from a distance, a pipe in his hand, with a look of disappointment on his face.

Wen Yaoshi also realized what he had just said. His expression froze and he immediately turned to look at Wen Shutang. He was relieved when he didn't see any angry expression on her face.

"Don't worry too much, little sister. My brother-in-law is very capable and will definitely return safely."

When Wen Qing heard him say that, his tense expression relaxed. He then glared at Wen Yao before turning to Wen Shutang.

His second son is good in every way except that he speaks too bluntly. He never thinks before saying anything. Not only that, he can also accurately hit other people's pain points every time.

"That's right, Xiao Qiu'er, don't worry too much. There are three children waiting for you. You can't be affected. Your son-in-law is very capable, so there will be no problem."

Wen Shutang saw the two people's nervous expressions, smiled slightly, and comforted them: "I'm really fine, Dad, I just heard the news a little too anxiously."

"Chen Rui's behavior was indeed inconsiderate. When he gets better, Dad will go find him and call him to account." Wen Qing frowned. He never expected that the honest and steady Chen Rui could be so ridiculous.

Just as they were talking, Wen Ruizhou came out of the house supporting Zhou Tong, who was pregnant.

They also heard about what happened just now, and the expressions on their faces were not good.

Wen Ruizhou frowned. He was stunned when he first heard about this. He couldn't imagine what expression Wen Shutang had on his face at that time.

When Zhou Tong saw Wen Shutang, she became even more emotional and pointed outside the yard and cursed Chen Rui.

"This man usually looks quite honest and kind, but why did he only care about his own life at the critical moment? Wasn't he the one who suggested that my brother-in-law go up the mountain with us? He actually dared to leave someone alone on the snowy mountain. Our family is so unlucky to have such a village chief."

When she got tired of scolding, she held her stomach with her hands and gasped for breath.

Wen Shutang walked up to her and touched her belly: "It's okay, sister-in-law, don't get excited, be careful of the baby in your belly."

Wen Ruizhou was also startled. Although he knew that Zhou Tong had a hot temper, he didn't expect her to start scolding directly. Seeing her making such a drastic movement, he was so scared that he went to support her.

"My dear aunt, please slow down and don't fall."

Zhou Tong angrily waved away his supporting hand and said, "It's okay, don't worry about it. If I wasn't pregnant today, I would have to go to Chen Rui's house to ask for an explanation."

Then he turned to look at Wen Shutang, his eyes filled with infinite pity.

"I'm sorry for the hardship on you, little sister, but don't worry too much, your brother-in-law will be fine."

Wen Shutang nodded, and just as he was about to say something, he saw three kids standing at the door, looking at them with their heads tilted.

"Mom, hasn't Dad come back yet? It's been a whole night and I miss him a little." Xiao Wan grabbed the corner of her clothes and spoke in a low voice, interrupting their conversation.
