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

Xu Ren lay on the ground, gasping for breath. The luxurious cloth on his chest was stained red with blood. The sharp arrow feathers pierced his entire chest.

After Xiao Yizhuo settled Wen Shutang, he turned and walked towards Xu Ren, with a chilling murderous aura surging from his body.

A look of fear appeared in Xu Ren's eyes. He took a few steps back without caring about the severe pain in his body, his voice trembling.

"You, don't come over here, do you know who I am? Liang Yan is my uncle, how dare you touch me!"

The threatening words seemed particularly pale at this moment. Xiao Yizhuo walked to his side. When he thought about how this man had just wanted to do such a dirty thing to Wen Shutang, he wished he could tear this man to pieces alive.

As the children were still present, Xiao Yizhuo did not want to scare them. He took a deep breath and then stepped on Xu Ren's right leg and broke it.

He said in a grim tone: "You should be glad that you didn't succeed."

Then he carried Xu Ren, who had fainted from the pain, outside and closed the door to completely block the children's sight.

Xu Ren's face was as pale as paper, and his whole body was shaking like a sieve. He had completely lost feeling in his right leg.

He didn't expect Xiao Yizhuo to actually be so ruthless: "You! How dare you! Liang Yan, my uncle will never let you go! You are just a villager, how dare you kill someone!"

Xu Ren had no idea how dangerous his situation was. Even now he still thought that Xiao Yizhuo was just a villager with no status at all.

Xiao Yizhuo's eyes flashed with extreme disgust, and he grabbed his collar as if he had touched something dirty: "Did you touch her?"

"No! I didn't touch it at all!" Xu Ren seemed to have found an excuse to beg for mercy and immediately shook his head.

"You deserve to die for thinking this." Xiao Yizhuo had no intention of letting him go. He replied coldly and threw the man to the ground. With a force of his hands, he broke both of Xu Ren's hands.

Xu Ren suddenly let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered and lay on the ground wailing in pain. There was no place on his body that was intact now, and there was excruciating pain everywhere.

Xiao Yizhuo didn't say any more nonsense. He stood in the yard with his hands behind his back and looked at Xu Ren indifferently: "Take him away and give him all the punishments in the Shadow Pavilion."

Mu Zhu flashed out from the darkness, knelt on one knee on the ground with his head down, beads of cold sweat dripping from his forehead. It was definitely his fault as a secret guard that the lady had encountered such a thing.

He almost wanted to beat himself to death. Why did he have to go back to Yingge today when he could go back at any other time to hand over the work?

Xiao Yizhuo glanced at him and said, "You too, go back and accept your punishment."

Mu Zhu quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Yes, I know I was wrong."

Xiao Yizhuo waved his hand, Mu Zhu lowered his head and reached out to drag Xu Ren, who had fainted from the pain, out of the yard.

The yard returned to its former tranquility. Xiao Yizhuo turned back to the main house and opened the door.

Xiao Wan squatted beside Xiao Ze with a look of heartache on her face, turning her head to look at the unconscious Wen Shutang from time to time. Although she was anxious, she had no idea what to do.

Xiao Ye ran to ask for a doctor.

Xiao Ze sat on the round stool with a pale face. Although there was no obvious bleeding wound, Xu Ren kicked him with great force. Even now, he could feel a dull pain whenever he moved.

Xiao Yizhuo walked to Xiao Ze's side: "How is it?"

"I'm fine. Dad, go check on Mom. That man just tried to strangle her to death." Xiao Ze shook his head and looked worriedly at Wen Shutang lying on the bed.

Xiao Yizhuo walked over to Wen Shutang and sat down, and at a glance he saw the obvious purple marks on her neck.

He frowned slightly, raised his hand and gently touched the marks on Wen Shutang's neck.

Then he put his hand on his chest, feeling the pain in his heart because of Wen Shutang.

This was the first time that this heart had any other feelings besides the passionate emotions it had experienced on the battlefield.

Xiao Yizhuo's gaze fell on Wen Shutang's face, with an indescribable tenderness and heartache in his eyes.

He didn't know if this feeling was the love described in the storybooks, but his heart ached violently whenever he thought of Wen Shutang getting hurt.

Xiao Yizhuo stared at her cheek which was pale due to suffocation, and suddenly he understood his own heart completely at this moment.

He didn't want to just live together with Wen Shutang. He wanted to have a real future with Wen Shutang, not as partners, but as real couple.

If there must be a woman in his life, that woman can only be Wen Shutang.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yizhuo's eyes flickered, and his large palm gently stroked her cheek, then tucked her quilt in.

"Dad, the doctor is here!" Xiao Ye ran in from outside, pulling an old man.

The old man was old, and couldn't stand Xiao Ye's pulling. He walked into the house and started panting before he could even check Wen Shutang's wound.

Xiao Yizhuo stood up and made way for the old doctor, saying humbly, "Please help me check on my wife's condition."

The old doctor panted for a while before walking in front of Wen Shutang, carefully checking her and nodding: "It's nothing serious, she just inhaled some drugs, she will wake up after a while, but the pinch marks on her neck are a bit too severe, I guess she will have a cough after waking up. I will prescribe a dose of medicine for this girl later, just drink it on time after waking up."

When Xiao Yizhuo heard him say that, he felt relieved a little. But when he heard that Wen Shutang might have sequelae, he couldn't help but want to skin Xu Ren alive.

"Thank you, old man. My child is injured in the stomach." Xiao Yizhuo said, pointing at Xiao Ze, whose face was as pale as paper.

The old doctor walked up to Xiao Ze and pressed on his stomach a few times. Every time he pressed harder, Xiao Ze's face became paler.

The old doctor looked serious and said, "This kid's condition is more serious. Although there is no bleeding, there is severe internal congestion. It is best to go to the big clinic in town for a thorough check-up."

Xiao Yizhuo's expression froze, and Xiao Ze also pursed his lips and frowned.

Xiao Wan was beside him, anxiously turning around: "Dad, what should we do?"

Xiao Yizhuo pondered for a moment, turned his head and glanced at the sleeping Wen Shutang, and made a decision in his heart: "Wan'er and Aye take good care of your mother at home, I will take Aze to the town now, if there is anything, go to your uncles immediately."

Xiao Ye and Xiao Wan nodded in unison: "Got it, Dad."

Xiao Yizhuo picked up Xiao Ze and turned to walk out of the yard. Fortunately, there was a carriage at home, which sped up their trip to town.

Xiao Yizhuo drove directly to the largest clinic in town, Jishidiang.

Xue Ming, who was seeing patients in the hall, was stunned when he saw the father and son. Then he noticed that Xiao Ze in Xiao Yizhuo's arms was pale and his lips were bloodless. The expression on his face immediately became solemn.

"Afu, take them to the inner room."
