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

"Besides, it was because of me that my sister-in-law was implicated. Don't worry, brother. I will definitely bring my sister-in-law back safely."

Hearing Wen Shutang's words, Wen Ruizhou, a tall and strong man, actually had tears in his eyes. He shook his head and his voice was choked with sobs.

"Little sister, I must return this hundred taels to you."

Wen Shutang felt very upset. It was indeed because of her arrogance and carelessness that the thieves had the opportunity to take advantage of her, causing her elder brother and parents to suffer such an unexpected disaster.

Xiao Yizhuo didn't say anything. He probably guessed who did this. It was really shameless for this person to hurt a pregnant woman because of personal grudges.

There was a gleam of ruthlessness in his eyes. It was said that poor and remote areas gave rise to unruly people. He had never expected that such a vicious person would exist in a peaceful village like Da'an Village.

Wen Yaoshi also rushed here after settling Liu Sufen and Wen Qing. When he saw the mess in the yard, he showed a look of surprise on his face.

Several people were discussing in the room what to do about this matter, and the atmosphere was indescribably heavy.

Wen Yaoshi was so angry when he saw the contents of the note that he slammed the table and shouted.

"This man is so shameless! He actually had the heart to hurt a pregnant woman! Is he really going to let my little sister go to the back mountain alone? Wouldn't she be in danger if he did that?"

Wen Ruizhou didn't say anything. He was feeling a little depressed. He knew how dangerous it would be if Wen Shutang went, but he still felt selfish.

There was also a hint of hope in his eyes when he looked at Wen Shutang.

"I'll go." Wen Shutang comforted.

"No." Before she could finish, Xiao Yizhuo rejected her next words.

The two Wen brothers looked at Xiao Yizhuo, who looked at the note in front of him and whispered.

"Just because your wife is in prison doesn't mean my wife should be put in danger. People need to be saved, but not in this way."

Wen Shutang was stunned. She didn't expect Xiao Yizhuo to say such words to protect her. She inexplicably had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

After taking a look at the low-key Wen Ruizhou, she tugged at Xiao Yizhuo's sleeve and spoke in a low voice.

"It's okay, just let me go."

"No, do you know what's in the cave? Besides that unknown thief, there are also countless wild beasts. It's too dangerous." Xiao Yizhuo frowned and still refused to give in.

His tone was filled with concern and worry, and Wen Shutang was touched, and even his voice softened a little.

"It's really okay. I know how to prevent myself from getting hurt. Just trust me."

Xiao Yizhuo turned his head to look at her, with a questioning look in his eyes, but his tense expression clearly showed his disagreement.

Seeing that neither the soft nor the hard approach worked, Wen Shutang decided to just give up.

"I don't care. I'm going to make a reservation today anyway."

She was not a weak woman who was powerless, but she couldn't explain it clearly to Xiao Yizhuo now. Whether as Wen Ruizhou's sister or as a modern legion commander, she couldn't watch Zhou Tong die with the child in her belly.

Xiao Yizhuo looked at Wen Shutang, who suddenly became a little childish, frowned, and stared at her for a long time.

Wen Shutang was not afraid of his threatening gaze and still stiffened his neck to insist on his will.

In the end, Xiao Yizhuo was the first to lose. He also knew that Wen Shutang now had his own ideas and would not change them easily.

He sighed, pulled Wen Shutang into the inner room, closed the door, took out an exquisite short-blade dagger from his waist and handed it to her.

"Take this and show it if there is any danger."

Wen Shutang held the dagger and tried to wave it, and her eyes suddenly lit up. This short blade was very similar to a dagger she had used in the legion, and even the feel was not much different.

This is really good stuff.

"Is this a gift for me?"

Xiao Yizhuo tightened his jaw and didn't look at her, seeming to be still unhappy with her decision.

"Ah."

"Okay, then I'll accept it as a token of our love." Wen Shutang blinked slyly, and ran out of the house regardless of Xiao Yizhuo's expression.

Xiao Yizhuo was left standing there in a daze. Wen Shutang looked so vivid.

The two came out of the room one after the other. Wen Shutang was obviously in a good mood, and Xiao Yizhuo no longer had the coldness he had just had, with a suspicious blush on his ears.

The two Wen brothers did not notice it, but Wen Shutang, with his sharp eyes, saw it immediately.

Suddenly I felt that teasing Xiao Yizhuo was quite fun. I used to think that he was just aloof, but now it seems that he is quite innocent. His ears turned red after just a little teasing.

As the night deepened, Wen Shutang took a hundred taels of silver and put the short blade on his waist, covering it with his long clothes.

There was deep worry in Wen Ruizhou's eyes. For the safety of Liu Sufen and Wen Qing, Wen Shutang asked the two brothers to go home and wait.

Xiao Yizhuo sent her to the foot of the back mountain. In the moonlight, Wen Shutang could clearly see the worry on Xiao Yizhuo's face.

Knowing that he was truly concerned about her safety, Wen Shutang comforted her in a gentle tone.

"It's okay, believe me, I'll come back to see you later." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the back mountain.

Xiao Yizhuo said with a cold face as he watched her figure gradually get smaller.

"come out."

Mu Zhu fell to the ground in response, half-knelt on the ground and lowered his head: "Yes."

"Go back and take good care of your father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"Yes." Mu Zhu responded in a low voice, and disappeared in an instant.

After Mu Zhu left, Xiao Yizhuo turned around and disappeared into the darkness. He had to ensure Wen Shutang's safety.

The road on the back mountain is rugged and uneven, and it is even more difficult to walk at night.

Wen Shutang searched for a long time before she found the cave. She suspected that this person had some problems with his brain. There were so many caves on the back mountain that she was almost exhausted searching them one by one.

After entering the cave, Wen Shutang saw Zhou Tong who was tied up. Because the rope was too tight, her face was very pale.

This person still had some conscience and did not make things too difficult for her. The rope only tied her hands and feet and did not tighten her stomach.

Zhou Tong's face turned pale when he saw Wen Shutang appear at the door, and a look of shock suddenly appeared in his eyes.

She saw the night getting darker and darker, and she was already in despair. She never thought that Wen Shutang would really risk his life to save her.

When Wen Shutang saw Zhou Tong, he immediately planned to go forward and untie the rope for her, but Zhou Tong suddenly struggled violently, and kept making whimpering sounds from her blocked mouth.

She suddenly felt some movement in the darkness nearby. She immediately stepped back a few steps, frowned, looked towards the dark place over there, and said in a cold voice.

"Come out."

"I didn't expect a bitch like you would dare to come here alone."

A man holding an axe in his hand walked out slowly from the darkness with a grin on his face, looking at Wen Shutang with endless hatred and malice in his eyes.
