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

Hearing this, Wen Shutang nodded: "That's good. It's safer to get more accurate information. But we have to prepare in advance. I'll go back and count all the silver."

Xiao Yizhuo nodded slightly, pursed his lips, and felt a little tense.

Wen Shutang noticed his mood and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Are you scared? It's okay, they are just merchants from the capital, not pursuers sent by the emperor."

"Of course I'm not afraid, but..." Xiao Yizhuo shook his head without any hesitation. He was not afraid of any pursuers. He was not afraid when he was besieged in an isolated city by a hundred thousand troops on the battlefield. What's more, they were just a few small pursuers.

"Then what's wrong with you? You know I don't like people who waste time." Wen Shutang tilted his head and looked at him with a teasing tone.

Xiao Yizhuo looked away slightly, his tone a little stiff: "I just feel that I have implicated you and cannot give you and the child a stable life. Now I have to run around to avoid the eyes."

Wen Shutang was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized why Xiao Yizhuo was not right.

It turned out that he felt guilty for not being able to let her live a stable life. Wen Shutang felt amused and touched at once.

It is undeniable that Xiao Yizhuo is indeed a good man. Although he is usually not talkative, he really cares about her.

Seeing Xiao Yizhuo's nervous and uneasy look, Wen Shutang felt inexplicably excited. Who understands? Men who show weakness have the best luck!

She tried her best to suppress the corners of her mouth that wanted to curl up, and said in a somewhat angry manner: "Yes, this is all because of you."

Thinking that Wen Shutang was really angry, Xiao Yizhuo immediately became nervous, staring at Wen Shutang with his black eyes, and the uneasiness in his eyes became even stronger.

"I..."

Wen Shutang couldn't help himself after seeing this scene. He raised a smile on his lips, put his hands behind his back and walked forward on his own, speaking in a cheerful tone.

"Well, there's nothing I can do. When you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; when you marry a dog, you follow the dog. I'll just treat it as a trip. It just so happens that I haven't seen what other towns are like yet."

Hearing this, Xiao Yizhuo was slightly startled, then realized that Wen Shutang was teasing him, and immediately smiled helplessly, the tenderness and helplessness in his eyes could almost drown a person.

He was really nervous just now. He was not so nervous even when he first went to court to meet the emperor.

Xiao Yizhuo raised his foot and followed Wen Shutang's steps: "How can you be so amusing? I thought you were really angry."

"I'm really angry. I'll punish you by asking you to go to another town and buy me some more jewelry gifts." Wen Shutang looked back at him with a bright smile on her face.

Xiao Yizhuo looked at Wen Shutang's energetic and lively face in the sunlight, his heart beating so hard that it seemed like it was going to jump out of his chest.

He unconsciously slowed down his breathing and looked straight at Wen Shutang.

Xiao Yizhuo was sure that he would remember this smile forever.

The two did not return to the milk tea shop but went straight home. Wen Shutang was anxious to count all his belongings. What would happen if he really moved in the future and didn't know where his belongings were?

Xiao Yizhuo naturally followed Wen Shutang's instructions. After they got home, Wen Shutang returned to his room and took out the silver and counted it carefully.

Xiao Yizhuo walked to a place not far from the courtyard and called Mu Zhu out.

Mu Zhu was wearing a black tights and kneeling on one knee in front of Xiao Yizhuo with a very respectful look.

"Little Lord."

"How's the investigation I asked you to do going?" Xiao Yizhuo stood with his hands behind his back, looking particularly aloof as he stood under the old elm tree.

Mu Zhu lowered his head and replied, "My Lord, Mu Yin in the capital city did find some clues. Li Yutang has already told Master Fang Wenhe that he had seen you in Qingshui Town. Master Fang seems to be suspicious and has privately sent people to Baiping Town, but they should still be on the way. Mu Yin is still tracking them. If there is any news, he will inform you as soon as possible."

Xiao Yizhuo frowned slightly. He didn't expect Fang Wenhe to act so quickly. It turned out that he had a very good relationship with Fang Wenhe when he was working in Beijing. Fang Wenhe had never believed that he died just like that, and had been secretly sending people to inquire about him.

Xiao Yizhuo knew all these situations, but since he wanted to stay away from trouble, he definitely couldn't contact his former friends anymore, so he kept hiding his tracks and didn't even tell Fang Wenhe.

Mu Zhu obviously also knew the relationship between Xiao Yizhuo and Fang Wenhe. He lowered his eyes and whispered.

"Young Master, are you really not going to meet Young Master Fang? Young Master Fang has never given up on finding you over the years."

"Since you have decided to stay away from the past right and wrong, you must naturally give up everything. The general at that time is long gone, and now only an ordinary hunter is left. Don't say such things again in the future." Xiao Yizhuo glanced at Mu Zhu lightly, and no emotion could be heard in his tone.

Mu Zhu lowered his head and said yes respectfully.

"If there is any news from Mu Yin, you must inform me immediately. Okay, go ahead." Xiao Yizhuo waved his hand and squinted his eyes to look into the distance.

"Yes, my lord."

Mu Zhu nodded slightly and then disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Xiao Yizhuo stood under the old elm tree with his hands behind his back, his expression gloomy and unclear, and no one knew what he was thinking. After a moment, he turned around and went back to the yard.

As soon as I entered the room, I found that Wen Shutang had already put away all the silver.

In order to facilitate storage, Wen Shutang had already gone to the money shop to exchange the heavy silver for large-denomination silver notes, leaving only some small change that was enough for daily expenses.

Silver bills are easy to store and not easily lost. They are also easy to take with you when you move in the future, and you don’t have to worry about losing the silver all the time.

Wen Shutang divided the thick banknotes into two stacks. He carefully kept one stack in a large wardrobe at home, and the other stack was placed in an exquisite wooden box and stored directly in the space.

Wen Shutang felt more at ease after making these two preparations. After all, it was all her belongings. If one of them was lost, she would vomit blood immediately.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Wen Shutang looked up and found that it was Xiao Yizhuo who came back.

"You're back, how's the investigation going?"

"Some people are indeed coming to Baiping Town, and I guess some people will come to explore Qingshui Town as well. When those people are about to arrive, we will set off for another town." Xiao Yizhuo explained in a low voice.

"Okay, it seems I have to tell the children in advance these few days. Otherwise, if I leave suddenly, the children will probably be uneasy. I also have to tell the clinic and the academy in advance." Wen Shutang muttered, touching his chin.

Xiao Yizhuo looked at Wen Shutang who was planning for the future, his heart softened, and his eyes towards her became softer.

The two were talking in the room when there was a knock on the door outside and Wen Ruizhou's voice was heard.

"Is my younger sister's husband home? Your second brother is going back to the village today to look for a girl, and my mother asked me to call my younger sister back so that we can have dinner together."
