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

Xiao Yizhuo walked to the window, stretched out his hand to open the window and whistled outside. But a moment later, two figures appeared in the room.

Wen Shutang sat on a stool, looked up at Mu Zhu and Mucha who were kneeling on one knee on the ground in black tights, and raised his eyebrows. So these two have been together all the time?

Xiao Yizhuo walked over to sit next to Wen Shutang, then asked in a low voice: "Is there any news from Mu Yin?"

Muzhu and Mucha both lowered their heads respectfully. When they heard Xiao Yizhuo's question, Muzhu was the first to respond.

"Muyin has received accurate information that Fang Wenhe has left the capital and is indeed in Qingshui Town now."

Mu Xia nodded and agreed, "Fang Wenhe went to Qingshui Town alone. He asked the shopkeeper Li Yutang to take most of the people to Baiping Town, and he went to Qingshui Town with two bodyguards to secretly search for the whereabouts of the young master. But please rest assured, young master and madam, Mu Zhu and I have already hidden our tracks, and he will not be able to find any clues."

The two of them informed Xiao Yizhuo of all the news they had received, without hiding anything from Wen Shutang. In their hearts, they both already regarded Wen Shutang as the young master's wife. She was a master just like the young master, so there was nothing to hide.

After hearing this, Xiao Yizhuo nodded slightly, turned his head and looked at Wen Shutang with a gentle look: "Madam, do you have anything to ask?"

After listening to Mu Zhu and Mucha's reports, Wen Shutang stroked his chin and thought for a while: "It seems that Fang Wenhe is deliberately trying to hide his whereabouts. By the way, are Fang Wenhe and others still in Qingshui Town?"

If Fang Wenhe has already left Qingshui Town, then they don't need to stay in this small village any longer and can set off back now.

Mu Zhu bowed his head and responded respectfully: "Madam, Fang Wenhe and others have not left Qingshui Town yet. They should still be searching for the whereabouts of the young master."

"Is that so?" Wen Shutang's tone was somewhat regretful. If that was the case, then they would have to stay outside for a few more days.

Now it has been more than half a month since they left Qingshui Town and arrived in Fengzhen. It seems that it will take another month to go back.

"Don't worry, we can still play outside for a few more days." Xiao Yizhuo knew what Wen Shutang was thinking and quickly spoke to comfort him.

"Yeah, it's pretty good."

Wen Shutang turned his head and looked at Mu Xia, supporting his head and looking at Mu Xia, with a hint of curiosity in his tone.

"Muxia, have you been following us in the dark these days?"

Mu Xia nodded and said respectfully, "Yes, Madam, I and Mu Zhu have been ordered to protect you and the young master and young lady in secret."

"So that's it."

Wen Shutang nodded, and then continued to ask as if he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, since you have been following in secret, you should have seen the Zhao brothers and sisters, do you know anything about them?"

After hearing Wen Shutang's words, Mu Zhu and Mu Xia looked at each other, then quietly looked up at Xiao Yizhuo, and seeing that the young master had no other expression, Mu Zhu responded.

"Madam, Young Master Zhao and Young Master Fang had a very good relationship with the young master. His sister, Miss Fuqiu, is also a famous talented woman in the capital. The Zhao family has a deep foundation in the capital and is very prestigious in the eyes of the people."

Mu Xia knelt on one knee and echoed, "The Zhao family is loyal and righteous, and they are a family of scholars with a long history."

After hearing the two people's answers, Wen Shutang touched his chin and nodded. It seemed that the Zhao brothers and sisters should not be enemies.

Maybe we will really meet again in the future, Wen Shutang guessed silently in his heart.

When Xiao Yizhuo heard Wen Shutang mention the Zhao brothers and sisters, he suddenly remembered something, looked down at Mu Zhu, and asked in a lukewarm voice.

"In previous years, the presiding officers of the provincial examinations were all from the Ministry of Personnel who were sent from the capital. Why was Zhao Linhe sent this year? Did something happen in the capital?" Xiao Yizhuo frowned slightly. He was still a little surprised to meet Zhao Linhe in Fengzhen.

"Replying to Young Master, Mu Yin has also mentioned this matter."

Mu Zhu lowered his head and responded, "The situation in the court has changed. Lord Qu Jie has been promoted to Grand Secretary and is now a second-rank official with some real power in his hands. Now the Minister of Personnel is seriously ill and cannot preside over the overall situation. The original Vice Minister of Personnel, Lord Qu, is no longer in his position. Now there is no one in the Ministry of Personnel, and Your Majesty is worried about the Ministry of Personnel. Now that the provincial examination is approaching, Lord Zhao has been entrusted with the important task and has been sent to Fengzhen to preside over the provincial examination."

After hearing Mu Zhu's explanation, Xiao Yizhuo raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is that so? I remember the original Grand Secretary was from the Cao family? Why is it replaced by Qu Jie now?"

Mu Xia responded quickly, "My young master, Lord Cao attempted to plant his own spies in the court, and his actions were too obvious and outrageous. After being discovered by His Majesty, the entire Cao family was executed. Lord Qu is swift and resolute, and has always been well-known in the court. In addition, this incident was reported by Lord Qu, so Lord Qu replaced the Cao family and ascended to the position of Grand Secretary."

"So that's how it is." Xiao Yizhuo nodded slightly and lowered his eyes to think about this matter.

Qu Jie was young, and the fact that he had achieved the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel at such a young age was already very eye-catching. Now he has taken another step forward and reached a position that is unattainable for ordinary people at such a young age.

Although he was full of glory, he must have been targeted by many people at the same time. After all, Xiao Yizhuo understood the principle that the first bird to stick its head out gets shot.

"Okay, you guys go down and tell Mu Yin to keep an eye on it. If Fang Wenhe leaves Qingshui Town, report to him in time." Xiao Yizhuo waved his hand to signal the two of them that they could leave.

"Yes." Mu Zhu and Mucha responded in unison, then quickly left the house.

Xiao Yizhuo stood up and closed the window, then sat next to Wen Shutang: "It seems that the situation in the capital is changing. When I was in the capital, the Cao family was so powerful that they could cover the sky with one hand. Now they have been pulled down from that position."

"It sounds like Qu Jie really stole the show." After hearing Xiao Yizhuo's explanation, Wen Shutang nodded.

Suddenly, I thought of Qingniang in Tongyue Inn in Fengzhen. I hope she can have a happy life in the capital. Wen Shutang said silently in his heart.

But Wen Shutang didn't know why, but he was inexplicably worried about Qingniang's journey.

"Okay, let's take a rest. When we wake up tomorrow, take the children for a walk around the village. We probably have to stay here for a while." Xiao Yizhuo stood up first and said.

"Yeah." Wen Shutang put his thoughts aside, stood up with him, and went to bed to rest.

The room was very quiet and they both fell asleep quickly.
