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

Mu Zhu frowned and moved the long knife closer to Liang Yan's neck. He didn't expect that he could recognize the feather logo.

"If you dare to tell anyone, you won't live past tomorrow. Remember what I just said."

After saying this, Mu Zhu put away the knife, turned around and disappeared into the courtyard.

Liang Yan, covered in cold sweat, was left sitting on the bed in a daze. After he came to his senses, he got out of bed, lit the oil lamp and called the servants. The lights in the Liang Mansion were on all night.

At dawn, the roosters in the village began to crow, and soon Wen Shutang heard noisy sounds in his own yard.

She frowned and turned over to sit up. Xiao Yizhuo had just put on his clothes and looked back at her.

"You change your clothes first, I'll go take a look."

Wen Shutang nodded. In fact, he didn't need to look to know that it was Zhang Dahe who brought people to cause trouble.

After Xiao Yizhuo left, Wen Shutang got up from the bed and started to change her clothes. After she had finished packing, she slowly walked out of the room.

As soon as she went out, she saw Zhang Dahe and several villagers standing in her yard in a threatening manner.

"Isn't this the village chief? What are you doing here today?"

Zhang Dahe's eyes were filled with uncontrollable anger: "Where did you take my two sons?!"

Wen Shutang put on a look of surprise and doubt: "Why is your son in my house?"

Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she said, "Oh, yes, two thieves came to my house last night and tried to steal something. My husband has already sent them to the government office. Could it be that those two thieves are the sons of the village chief?"

When Zhang Dahe heard that he had been sent to the government, he was so shocked that he almost fainted. He pointed at Wen Shutang and cursed him angrily.

"You bitch! We are from the same village, how could you not recognize my two sons! You did it on purpose!"

Wen Shutang glanced at the villagers who came with Zhang Dahe and snorted coldly.

"What are you talking about, village chief? If a thief comes to my house to steal things, can't I send him to the government?"

Without waiting for Zhang Dahe to refute, she continued, "Since the village chief said that the two thieves were your sons, does that prove that you asked them to come to my house and steal things? What are you thinking?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Dahe's curse words were choked in his throat.

Whatever he said now was wrong. If he admitted that he had ordered his son to steal things, he would lose face. But if he didn't admit it, what would happen to his two sons?

"You! You have such a vicious mind!" After holding it in for a long time, he could only utter these words which did not hurt him at all.

Wen Shutang crossed his arms and looked at them leisurely: "And you came to my house so early in the morning to make trouble, are you so sure that your son is at my house?"

Zhang Dahe was unable to utter a word. After a moment, he pointed at Wen Shutang with a fierce look in his eyes and spoke in a rough voice.

"Don't say that. If you don't hand over the people and the house today, I will make you pay for it!"

As he spoke, he winked at a few villagers, and the villagers took a few steps towards Wen Shutang. Xiao Yizhuo stood in front of her expressionlessly, glanced at the rising sun, and thought to himself that Muzhu was becoming more and more slow in doing things.

"You outsider, don't take the lead. This is our village's own business!" One of the villagers who was very close to Zhang Dahe pointed at Xiao Yizhuo with disdain.

Xiao Yizhuo didn't move. He frowned slightly and looked at the man pointing his finger at him, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

Wen Shutang also frowned and looked at those people. She didn't expect that Zhang Dahe would actually dare to bring people to take action.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from a distance, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw a man in black clothes riding a horse and stopping at the gate of the yard. The man walked in hurriedly, panting while speaking, and looked very anxious.

Wen Shutang recognized this person at a glance. Wasn't this Cheng Bo who introduced her to Mrs. Liang a few days ago?

Cheng Bo took a few breaths and looked at everyone with a frown. The moment he saw Wen Shutang, he suddenly became respectful.

"Madam Wen."

"Why is Butler Cheng here at this time?"

In fact, Cheng Bo also had many doubts in his heart. He was woken up by Liang Yan in the middle of the night yesterday. Liang Yan kept him in the study room all night and asked him about Da'an Village. It was not until dawn that Liang Yan asked him to rush to Da'an Village to announce something.

He still didn't know why Liang Yan's facial expression was so expressive when he heard about Wen Shutang yesterday.

"The captain has given me an order to deliver it."

Cheng Bo turned around and looked at the stunned people: "Who is Zhang Dahe?"

Zhang Dahe saw the Liang Mansion's logo printed on Cheng Bo's clothes and immediately realized that he was from the Liang Mansion. He took a step forward tremblingly.

"I, I am."

Cheng Bo frowned, looked at him for a few seconds, and then began to announce Liang Yan's orders.

"Da'an Village Chief Zhang Dahe is an arrogant and domineering person who bullies his neighbors and acts tyrannically. We hereby remove him from his position as village chief. The position of village chief will be vacant for the time being, and a new village chief will be selected on a certain day!"

Without waiting for the dazed Zhang Dahe to reply, he continued, "The official documents will arrive shortly. In addition, in view of what you have done, you will have to go to the town to be interrogated. Do you understand?"

Zhang Dahe finally came to his senses and was immediately panicked. He didn't understand why Lord Liang, who usually didn't bother with these trivial matters, was so concerned about Wen Shutang's matter that he actually dismissed him from his post.

He was unwilling to give up and wanted to beg for mercy: "Did your Excellency make a mistake? I have never done anything to oppress the people!"

Wen Shutang, who was watching the show on the side, spoke up at the right time: "By the way, Steward Cheng, there are two petty thieves imprisoned in my small warehouse. The village chief just said that these two are his sons. Steward Cheng, please take them back for trial."

Cheng Bo agreed immediately upon hearing this, and then went to the small warehouse and pulled the two boys out. When Zhang Dahe saw their faces, he suddenly became dejected and stopped defending himself.

Several villagers who came with Zhang Dahe were also stunned when they saw this situation, especially the man who had just pointed at Xiao Yizhuo and shouted. His whole face turned gray, his lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a word.

After saying goodbye to Wen Shutang, Cheng Bo took his people away. The people who were watching the excitement outside were also confused by this sudden reversal. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the man from the town came specifically to resolve the Wen Shutang issue, otherwise why would he arrive faster than the official document?

For a time, rumors spread in the village that Wen Shutang's family had some connection with some big shots in the town.

Wen Shutang did not give too much explanation for this. Such a small misunderstanding did have some effect and could effectively curb those with ulterior motives.

But she obviously forgot that in addition to these evil-minded villains, there are also some opportunistic fence-sitters.

For example, Xu Chunhua, who is holding a basket of vegetables and smiling.
