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

Tang Fusheng covered his right arm in pain and wailed, "Ah! My arm! What are you doing! How could you do this!"

Mu Zhu's move was steady, accurate and ruthless. The moment Tang Fusheng screamed, he had already moved away from him, for fear that he would touch him.

He shrugged and said, "Don't worry, the bone is completely broken, and there is no one in the entire capital who can reconnect it except me."

Tang Fusheng looked at Mu Zhu with eyes full of resentment. After hearing what he said, Tang Fusheng almost collapsed.

This is his right hand. If it is completely broken, how will he write and live in the future?

Thinking of this, Tang Fusheng's face turned pale. On the one hand, it was because of the severe pain, and on the other hand, he was worried about how he would live the rest of his life.

He turned to look at Xiao Yizhuo and shouted angrily: "How could you let your men do this? Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will blame you?"

Xiao Yizhuo lazily raised his eyes and glanced at him: "I will take the blame if you blame me."

"You, you!" Tang Fusheng had no idea how to refute. The piercing pain kept attacking his brain. He even felt that he saw double when he looked at people.

Kong Qing, who was standing by, saw his young master being hurt and immediately shouted anxiously, "Young Master!"

Mu Yin expressionlessly used his dagger to leave a long bloody mark on his arm: "Did I ever tell you not to move?"

Kong Qing felt the pain and gasped. He looked down at his cuffs which were immediately soaked with blood and stopped talking immediately.

In this situation, he seems to have to worry more about himself.

Tang Fusheng gritted his teeth and endured the pain, looking at Xiao Yizhuo fiercely: "You are too presumptuous, no wonder His Majesty has always wanted to get rid of you!"

"Oh, it hasn't been removed yet." Xiao Yizhuo looked calm, as if he was appreciating Tang Fusheng's painful expression.

Hearing what he said, Tang Fusheng was furious: "You! You can't do this! You and I are both officials appointed by the court, and we are equal!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yizhuo actually looked up and looked at him seriously for a few times, which was rare. Tang Fusheng thought that Xiao Yizhuo agreed with what he said.

Xiao Yizhuo opened his thin lips and uttered a few words: "Who do you think you are to be on an equal footing with me?"

Wen Shutang on the side turned his head to glance at Xiao Yizhuo's profile and silently gave him a thumbs up in his heart.

Well, her man is just handsome.

Tang Fusheng looked at Xiao Yizhuo in amazement.

"Your Tang family is nothing but a bunch of sycophants. How can you have the nerve to say that you are on equal footing with me? If your Tang family had not interfered, how could His Majesty doubt the generals who killed the enemy on the front line? In the end, those loyal and brave generals died for their country one after another? And ended up with no complete corpses?" Xiao Yizhuo's voice seemed to be tempered by ice, and every word he uttered was like a sharp sword shooting at Tang Fusheng.

"Have you never seen these generals coming to claim your life in your dreams at midnight?" Xiao Yizhuo exuded a terrifying aura, as if he remembered the tragic situation of that year.

With every word he spoke, Tang Fusheng's face turned paler. It was unclear whether it was because of the pain or because of fear and guilt.

"No, it's not me...how can you blame me!" Tang Fusheng explained tremblingly, but he couldn't find any words to refute, so he could only repeat no over and over again.

"Cutting off one of your hands today is just a simple punishment. I will let you go. Go back and tell His Majesty that I will return to the capital soon. After everything is resolved, I will kill you with my own hands." Xiao Yizhuo had a cold face, and he didn't seem to be joking at all.

Mu Zhu and Mu Yin retreated silently. Kong Qing didn't care about his bleeding wound and rushed to Tang Fusheng to support him.

"Master, are you okay?"

Tang Fusheng finally couldn't bear the pain in his body and the fear in his heart, and he closed his eyes and fainted.

Xiao Yizhuo raised his hand and held Wen Shutang's hand, then left without even looking at them.

Kong Qing did not dare to stay any longer and quickly carried Tang Fusheng back to the carriage. He rushed back to Qingshui Town and ordered people to find a doctor to treat them both.

Just as Mu Zhu said, no one except him could cure Tang Fusheng's arm.

Tang Fusheng's arm was completely disabled.

When Xiao Yizhuo and Wen Shutang returned home, Wen Yaoshi was playing with Xiao Wan in the yard.

After Xiao Wan was treated with herbal medicine and Wen Shutang also fed her some spiritual spring water, she is now fine.

Wen Yaoshi saw the two coming back: "Little sister, brother-in-law, someone did come to see you just now. They should have gone to the back mountain, right?"

Wen Shutang nodded and responded: "Yes, we have met before."

"Who are they? They look very elegantly dressed. They are probably not ordinary people, right?"

"We just did business together before." Wen Shutang made up an excuse to fool people.

Wen Yaoshi nodded in understanding and didn't ask any more questions.

Wen Shutang walked over to Xiao Wan, touched her hair, and asked softly, "How do you feel now, Wan'er? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Xiao Wan shook her head: "Mom, I'm fine."

"That's good." Wen Shutang bent down and checked Xiao Wan's body. He felt relieved only after he was sure that she was really fine.

She took Xiao Yizhuo back to the room, closed the door, turned around and asked in a low voice: "You told Tang Fusheng that you would return to the capital soon. Which day did you mean?"

Xiao Yizhuo pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment before responding, "I received news that the war on the border is intense and three cities have been breached. If I don't go back, I'm afraid more civilians will be harmed. So I think I should set off for Beijing in the next few days. What do you think, Madam?"

After hearing what he said, Wen Shutang pondered for a moment.

"We will set off in five days. In the next few days, you should settle your family down. You also need to inform the academy and the clinic in town."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, madam." Xiao Yizhuo nodded in agreement.

Wen Shutang sat on the stool, stroking his chin, thinking to himself that he should find some time to have a special chat with Liu Sufen.

Now that she's gone, no one knows when she'll be back. The two old people must be very worried, so we have to make sure they're settled.

Xiao Yizhuo saw what Wen Shutang was thinking, walked up to her, held her hand and comforted her, "We will come back when the matter in the capital is completely resolved, and we will never leave again."

Feeling the warmth from Xiao Yizhuo's palm, Wen Shutang felt a little relieved.

"Well, it's okay. I'll be back eventually."

She suddenly looked up at Xiao Yizhuo as if she remembered something and asked, "What do you mean by saying that the deaths of those loyal soldiers were related to Tang Fusheng? Can you tell me more about it?"

Hearing her question, Xiao Yizhuo pursed his lips and sat beside her. He coughed and slowly began to explain what happened that year.
