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

However, this was the emperor's order. Even though Tang Fusheng was reluctant, he had to obey the order. He stood up, and Kong Qing beside him hurriedly walked forward and raised the wine glass.

Tang Fusheng's hands were wrapped in thick gauze, and he looked calm: "Respect all the envoys who have come from afar, and may the two countries of Nansheng and Beichen be forever friends!"

Taiping naturally would not refuse. He stood up with the wine glass in his hand, and when he saw Tang Fusheng's injured hands, he did not ask any questions.

"It's natural."

Kong Qing handed the wine glass to Tang Fusheng's lips and carefully fed him the wine.

Taiping also picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Tang Fusheng toasted eleven people in a row, and it was inevitable that he felt a little overwhelmed after drinking every glass of wine in one gulp.

He turned his head and burped quietly, then sat down leisurely.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at the eleven members of the delegation, neither more nor less, and still had some doubts in his heart.

"Well, my dear, you really have a big appetite." The emperor put on a smiling face and praised Tang Fusheng with narrowed eyes.

Taiping's expression did not change. He secretly looked at the emperor's face and had some guesses in his mind. As soon as the banquet was over, he immediately sent people to look for Murong Heng, hoping to find Murong Heng before the emperor.

Daan Village.

Without the disturbance from outsiders, Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo spent a few days in peace.

After a few days of special training from Wen Shutang, Zhou Tong has become able to skillfully use the tools in the milk tea shop to make milk tea that tastes the same as Wen Shutang's.

Wen Shutang was very satisfied with this, and she felt relieved to hand over the milk tea shop to Zhou Tong.

"Sister-in-law, you get the hang of it quickly. I told you this thing wouldn't be difficult." Wen Shutang sat on a stool, propped up his head, and looked at Zhou Tong with a smile.

Zhou Tong was standing in front of the table fiddling with fresh fruits. When she heard what Wen Shutang said, she turned around and smiled and said, "Well, this is all thanks to you. If it weren't for my little sister, I wouldn't have been able to get in touch with these things. I haven't even seen them, let alone come into contact with them."

Wen Shutang chuckled: "By the way, sister-in-law, didn't I tell you before that I was going to the capital? After I leave, if anyone wants to ask you for the recipe of milk tea, just ignore him. It's safest to keep the recipe in your own hands."

"Well, don't worry, little sister. I understand." Zhou Tong nodded seriously.

Zhou Tong put down the fruit in her hand and wiped her hands while asking, "When are you going to tell your parents about this?"

"I was planning to tell you after dinner today."

Speaking of Liu Sufen and Wen Qing, Wen Shutang felt a little worried. He wondered if the old couple could accept the news when they suddenly knew it.

"When are you leaving, little sister?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be in the next two days." Wen Shutang touched his chin and thought for a moment before responding.

While the two were talking, someone suddenly walked into the milk tea shop.

Wen Shutang heard the sound and turned around, only to find that the person coming was Feng Shu.

She raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Uncle Feng, why are you here?"

"The young master wants to invite you to the restaurant. I originally wanted to go to the village to find you, but when I passed by here and saw that the store was open, I thought of coming over to take a look. I didn't expect that you were really here." Feng Shu said with a smile.

Hearing him say that it was Song Zhoubai who was looking for her, Wen Shutang stood up and straightened her clothes: "Well, let's go, sister-in-law, you wait for me in the store now, or you can go to the timber store opposite to find my brother, I'm going to go out for a while."

Even if Song Zhoubai didn't come to see her, she would have to find time to go see him.

Zhou Tong nodded: "Okay, it's okay, little sister, you go, don't worry about me."

Wen Shutang responded, turned around and followed Feng Shu out of the milk tea shop.

Feng Shu took Wen Shutang straight to the private room on the second floor, walked her to the door and made a gesture to invite her in: "Madam Wen, please come in. The young master is waiting for you inside."

Wen Shutang nodded and walked into the room, and Feng Shu carefully closed the door.

Song Zhoubai was sitting by the window when he heard the sound and turned around to see that it was Wen Shutang. He stood up and greeted her with a smile: "Miss Wen is here."

"Well, Uncle Feng said you were looking for me?" Wen Shutang responded and walked forward. He sat on the stool without being too restrained and poured himself a cup of tea.

Seeing Wen Shutang's calm demeanor, Song Zhou's smile widened as he sat opposite her. "Well, it's about the restaurant again. The recipe you gave me last time has now become the restaurant's signature dish. I called you here today to ask if you have any other dishes. My restaurant hasn't had any new dishes for a long time."

Hearing what he said, Wen Shutang nodded in understanding.

So this is why she was called here in such a hurry.

"Of course, I also have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Song Zhoubai looked at Wen Shutang with some curiosity.

Wen Shutang hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm going to the capital."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Song Zhoubai's eyes, but it didn't last long. The surprise passed so quickly that Wen Shutang almost didn't notice it.

Song Zhoubai picked up the folding fan with a smile, looking as if he had guessed it a long time ago.

"This is a good thing."

"You don't look very surprised." Wen Shutang raised his eyebrows.

"What's so surprising about this? You and A Sheng are of the same kind. This small world can't hold you two back. I had previously guessed that you would end up going to the capital to build a career like A Sheng, and it seems like it's coming true now."

Hearing this, Wen Shutang just smiled and said nothing.

At the beginning, she vowed that she would never go to the capital, but now it seems that nothing is absolute.

Song Zhoubai looked at Wen Shutang with a smile: "When you get to the capital and see Ah Sheng, please say hello to him for me."

"Will do."

Wen Shutang did not stay in Zhaixing Tower for long. He went to the kitchen and handed over three home-cooked dishes to the chefs before leaving Zhaixing Tower.

She didn't ask Song Zhou for any money, she just took it as a thank you for his care during these days.

Song Zhoubai stood on the second floor and looked through the window at Wen Shutang's back as he left. He smiled and shook his head, picked up the teacup in front of him, drank the tea in one gulp, and talked to himself.

"I guessed right."

Wen Shutang returned to the milk tea shop and went back to Da'an Village with Wen Ruizhou and his wife. The sky gradually darkened.

As soon as he entered the house, Wen Shutang saw Xiao Wan and Xiao Ye accompanying Wen Heng and Wen Jin in the yard. Liu Sufen was sitting next to them picking vegetables, looking up at them from time to time with a kind and gentle smile on her face.

Xiao Wan was the first to see Wen Shutang and shouted in surprise: "Dad and Mom are back!"

After saying that, he ran towards Wen Shutang, threw himself into her arms, and rubbed her arm affectionately like a bird returning home.

"Mom, why did you take so long?"

Wen Shutang smiled and hugged Xiao Wan, squatted down and stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek, and responded in a gentle tone: "I went to the town to do some things. Is Wan'er behaving well at home?"
