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

Hearing what Qingniang said, Wen Shutang quickly waved his hands: "I didn't help much, but Wan'er is a thoughtful child. She noticed that your mood seemed a little off, and took the initiative to comfort you."

Hearing this, Qingniang smiled even more gently: "Being able to raise such a kind daughter proves that you, Miss Wen, are also a kind person."

Zhao Fu echoed, "Yes, when Lian Ye and I came to look for Qing Niang, we ran into a few hooligans. Fortunately, Miss Wen rescued us in time, which saved Lian Ye and I."

"Really? There is such a thing?" Qing Niang looked at Wen Shutang in surprise, then turned to look at Zhao Fu, a little worried.

"Miss Zhao, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay. Miss Wen arrived in time. Lian Ye and I are not injured." Zhao Fu shook her head.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Qingniang breathed a sigh of relief, and then a faint smile returned to her face.

"I, Qingniang, will never forget the kindness you two have shown me. If I have the chance, I will definitely repay you two in the future."

"No, no, I really can't help at all." Wen Shutang waved her hands quickly. She couldn't bear these people who kept asking for repayment for favors.

Besides, she was just a bystander and didn't help much in this matter. She just heard an amazing and beautiful love story.

"Miss Wen, please don't refuse. Even if it's just a small favor, my Qing Niang will remember it."

She reached out, held Wen Shutang's hand and patted it, saying with a smile.

Qingniang now looked nothing like the lazy and indifferent girl that Wen Shutang had just seen. Instead, she was so enthusiastic that Wen Shutang was a little uncomfortable with it.

She smiled helplessly and didn't say anything else to spoil the fun.

Zhao Fu smiled gently as she watched the two of them getting along so well. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she exclaimed and stood up.

"oops."

Hearing her voice, Qingniang and Wen Shutang turned their heads to look at her at the same time.

"What's wrong?" Qingniang asked.

"Oh no, oh no. What time is it now? Is it dark? I'm doomed. If my brother knew that I ran away secretly, he would scold me again." Zhao Fu said with a bitter face.

"It's indeed dark now." Qingniang responded, pursing her lips.

Wen Shutang looked at Zhao Fu sympathetically: "Then you should go back quickly. It might still be in time if you go back now. If you are late any longer, you will probably be scolded."

Zhao Fu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I will go back now."

She paused, then looked at Wen Shutang pitifully and whispered: "Miss Wen, could you please take me back? It's dark now, I, I don't dare to..."

Wen Shutang looked at her with a mixture of laughter and tears. This girl was listening to the story so enthusiastically just now, but now she is scared?

Qingniang was also amused and looked at the two of them with a faint smile.

"Okay, let's go. I'll take you back." Wen Shutang nodded and stood up.

Hearing her promise, Zhao Fu immediately laughed: "Yes!"

Then the three of them walked out of the room. Zhao Fu walked out hurriedly, talking as she walked.

"Lian Ye, hurry up, my brother will be back soon. It will be terrible if we are discovered."

Lian Ye said bitterly: "Miss, you know it too."

Zhao Fu stuck out her tongue playfully: "Okay, let's go."

Qingniang sent the three people to the entrance of the inn and watched their backs gradually go away. She did not look away until they disappeared.

She looked up at the sky and felt that the sky tonight was much warmer than usual. She couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips and then returned to the inn.

Wen Shutang sent Zhao Fu and Lian Ye back. Along the way, Zhao Fu held Wen Shutang's arm tightly, fearing that they would meet some messy people again.

It seems that he was really scared by those little gangsters.

Wen Shutang sent the person to the gate of the yard, and Zhao Fu let go of his hand.

"Thank you Miss Wen for sending me back. If you go to the capital in the future, I will definitely treat you well. Don't worry, I will never forget your kindness today." Zhao Fu said solemnly.

"Okay, okay, go in quickly. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by your brother?" Wen Shutang said helplessly.

She has heard the word "repay a favor" more than three times today, and it feels like her ears are getting calluses.

Besides, the possibility of her going to the capital in the future is almost zero. After all, Xiao Yizhuo's identity is there. How could she possibly lead Xiao Yizhuo into the tiger's mouth?

Hearing Wen Shutang's words, Zhao Fu nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, then I'll go in first, Miss Wen, see you next time."

Wen Shutang looked at her back, suddenly remembered something, and called her abruptly.

"and many more."

"What's wrong?" Zhao Fu turned around and looked at Wen Shutang, asking with some confusion.

"You are from the capital. May I ask why you are here? You and your brother should be the young ladies and young masters of wealthy families in the capital, right? Why do you come to a small place like Fengzhen? Don't tell me you came here specifically to deliver a letter to Qingniang." Wen Shutang asked with pursed lips.

She had always wanted to ask about this, but because Qingniang was present, she really didn't have the courage to ask.

"Well...mainly, my brother came here for official business. As for what it is, I won't say more. I hope Miss Wen will understand. I just followed my brother to play. Lord Qu asked me to deliver the letter because he heard from my brother that I would also come to Fengzhen." Zhao Fu explained patiently.

Wen Shutang nodded in understanding. It should have little to do with Xiao Yizhuo. Meeting him in Fengzhen this time was just a coincidence.

"Okay, I understand. Go in now."

"Yeah." Zhao Fu nodded, said goodbye to Wen Shutang, and turned to enter the yard.

As soon as she entered the house with Lian Ye, there was a knock on her door.

"Fuer, are you in there?" a male voice came in.

Zhao Fu quickly responded: "Brother, I'm here."

The door was pushed open, and an elegant man in a crescent-shaped white brocade robe walked in. He looked Zhao Fu up and down with his phoenix eyes, his eyes full of inquiry.

"You've been in your room all day? I heard from the servants that you haven't come out the whole day. Did you sneak out to play?" Zhao Linhe asked with narrowed eyes, his tone unconsciously carrying a bit of majesty.

Zhao Fu shrank her neck, a little afraid of her elder brother's pressure: "Of course I didn't go out to play, I just felt uncomfortable in my stomach today, so I stayed in my room to rest. If you don't believe me, you can ask Lian Ye."

"Lotus leaves, huh?"

Zhao Linhe turned his head to look at the little maid, and said "hmm" with a rising tone at the end, which almost scared Lian Ye to kneel down.

"Reply, reply to the young master, the young lady really did not go out today. She has been resting in the room." Lian Ye lowered her head and said in a low voice, not daring to look at Zhao Linhe at all, for fear of being discovered.

Zhao Linhe's eyes moved back and forth between the master and servant. After pondering for a moment, he spoke lightly.

"Forget it, Fu'er, you should have a good rest. I'll ask someone to bring you some calming soup."
