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

Hearing what Xiao Yizhuo said, Wen Shutang didn't say anything else, but just smiled and shook his head.

It must be just her illusion. After all, she was just a girl she met by chance. It was impossible for her to have any sparks with the second brother. Whether the two of them could meet again in the future was another matter.

Seeing that Wen Shutang stopped talking, Xiao Yizhuo did not ask any more questions even though he was confused. The two of them cleaned up the table where they had just eaten, cleared away the used fruits on the table, and put new fruits on it.

Just as I was about to start making milk tea, a customer came over to ask, Wen Shutang said with a smile.

"What a coincidence that you came, sister-in-law. We just opened the store. Wait a moment, the first cup of milk tea will be ready soon."

"Hey, don't worry. If the kid at home hadn't insisted on drinking milk tea, I wouldn't have come so early. Luckily, your milk tea is not too expensive, otherwise, my kid would be craving for it and wouldn't be able to buy it." An auntie standing at the door of the store carrying a bamboo basket responded with a smile.

"Our business is for the common people, so of course the price can't be too high." Wen Shutang didn't stop working, making milk tea while chatting with the aunt.

Xiao Yizhuo stood aside with an expressionless face as a door god. Although he didn't speak, his appearance was indeed very attractive. Just standing there attracted a large number of young girls.

She shyly said that she wanted a few cups of milk tea. Xiao Yizhuo nodded slightly and said nothing, which was very cold. But this did not prevent the little girl from continuing to be crazy about Xiao Yizhuo.

Wen Shutang just smiled slightly when she saw this, without any ripples in her heart. A handsome man's looks should be shared by everyone. Such a handsome man is her husband. Thinking of this, Wen Shutang felt secretly happy.

Looking at those little girls who wanted something but couldn't get it, Wen Shutang couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

Wen Shutang's milk tea shop was busy in full swing, and Pei Sheng, who was a hundred miles away in Baiping Town, was also not idle.

The shopkeeper Li Yutang, whom Wen Shutang introduced last time, is leaving for the capital today, and he is busy seeing him off.

At the entrance of Pei Mansion, Pei Sheng and Li Yutang stood together, both with smiles on their faces.

"Manager Li, please tell Young Master Fang more about me when you return to Beijing this time." Pei Sheng said with a faint smile.

Li Yutang's eyes were full of smiles. He was very optimistic about this young man. Whether it was his business acumen or his thunderous methods, he admired such people.

"Of course, Master Pei is young and promising. Master likes people like him the most. Don't worry, I will introduce Master Pei to you when I return. Master Pei, please don't forget me then, okay?"

"I dare not, I dare not. Manager Li, you are too kind to me." Hearing this, Pei Sheng waved his hands repeatedly, looking helpless.

Li Yutang laughed heartily a few times, said goodbye to Pei Sheng, turned around and got on the carriage, left the town and headed towards the capital.

Pei Sheng narrowed his eyes as he looked at the shadow of the carriage. If he could get in touch with Fang Wenhe through Li Yutang, his Pei family's business would be able to reach a higher level.

Baiping Town is thousands of miles away from the capital city. It took Li Yutang nearly seven days of bumpy journey to return to the bustling capital city.

He was exhausted when he returned to Fang's shop. After a night's rest, he went to the young master to report on his trip to Baiping Town.

Li Yutang changed into a neat set of clothes, knocked on the door respectfully, and only pushed the door open carefully after hearing the voice of permission from inside.

Sitting in the room was a man dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, with an exquisite jade pendant around his waist that was valuable but not vulgar. He used the folding fan in his hand in a casual manner, and his fair face revealed a sense of laziness and cynicism.

There was a look of recklessness between the man's eyebrows. He glanced at Li Yutang and then picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"came back?"

"Yes, young master." Li Yutang stood in front of the man humbly, looking like a servant.

It’s no wonder that Li Yutang is so humble. After all, the man in front of him is Fang Wenhe, the eldest son of the Fang family, the largest family in Beijing.

Fang Wenhe did not look at Li Yutang again, but turned his head to look through the window at the bustling street below, scanning the various kinds of people on the street.

Li Yutang swallowed and began to tell him what he saw and heard in Baiping Town: "This time when I went to Baiping Town, there was a young man named Pei Sheng who talked to me a lot. He was selling tea to the people at a low price."

Hearing this, Fang Wenhe's interest was successfully aroused. A gleam of light flashed across his eyes: "Oh? Selling tea at a low price? Wouldn't that mean you'll lose a lot of money?"

"That's what I thought at first, but there were so many people buying tea, and Mr. Pei made a lot of money from it," Li Yutang explained.

Fang Wenhe sneered and did not quite agree with this. Upon seeing this, Li Yutang hurriedly explained it to Fang Wenhe in more detail.

He mentioned Wen Shutang's name casually, but unexpectedly it caught Fang Wenhe's attention.

"Madam Wen, is she the peasant woman who developed perfume in this small town?"

"That's right." Li Yutang didn't expect that Fang Wenhe actually knew Wen Shutang's name, and nodded repeatedly in response.

Fang Wenhe nodded thoughtfully. He had also bought that perfume before. The quality was indeed good. He bought it as a gift for his sister Fuqiu last time, and it made the beautiful lady smile.

When Wen Shutang was mentioned, Li Yutang immediately thought of the cold-faced man who followed her. His heart trembled suddenly and he quickly told Fang Wenhe about this matter.

"In addition, I also saw someone in Qingshui Town, but I dare not make a definite statement."

"who?"

"That man looks a bit like... the deceased general..." Li Yutang said cautiously.

Before he could finish, Fang Wenhe slammed the table and stood up, his handsome face full of seriousness: "Don't talk nonsense, you bastard! That person has died on the battlefield, everyone in Beijing knows this, don't talk nonsense here, if someone with ulterior motives hears it, do you still want to keep your head?"

Li Yutang was so scared that he immediately knelt down in front of Fang Wenhe and kowtowed repeatedly to admit his mistake.

"I know I was wrong!"

"Forget it, forget it. Don't tell anyone else about this. Watch out for your head. Go down." Fang Wenhe frowned and waved his hand.

Li Yutang felt as if he had been pardoned. He immediately stood up and turned to walk out. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he closed the door. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and decided that he would never meddle in other people's affairs again. His own life was more important.

Fang Wenhe was left alone in the room. He frowned unconsciously because of what Li Yutang had just said.

How could it be that gentleman? Although his body was not found on the battlefield, His Majesty has already announced it to the world, and His Majesty's decree cannot be wrong.

Fang Wenhe was confused, but didn't dare to think further.
