Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

The moon was bright in the sky, but a cloud drifted by, blocking the moonlight.

inside the house,

Xiao Yunxi was in the innermost bed, next to her was Niu Niu, then Dabao and Xiaobao, and Zhou Jin slept in the outermost bed next to Xiaobao, successfully avoiding embarrassment.

Shhh...

It was like the sound of wind blowing through the crack of the door.

Zhou Jin opened his eyes and heard the sound of even breathing around him. He got off the kang carefully, left the house, and came to the bamboo forest at the end of the village. A man in black was kneeling on the ground.

"Sir, everything has been investigated thoroughly."

"explain."

The night was quiet, with only the voices of the men in black talking. Zhou Jin's brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed. He didn't expect so many things to happen in the six months he was away.

"Find out where Ma Cuilan and Tang Guochen are and bring them back!"

"Sir, if they arrest..."

"Then kill him."

"Yes."

"Send a message to the Luochuan County Magistrate, telling him to go easy on himself. If anything goes wrong, the secret guards will cover it. Also, from now on, the people protecting the young master and young lady are not allowed to move without my order, even if the sky falls!"

Half a year ago, he went to Beisheng Pass and was plotted. He secretly arranged for the secret guards who were protecting the children to go to rescue them, but the whole army was wiped out, and Zhou Jin himself was seriously injured and unconscious.

Dabao had a special status, so the people he arranged to be with were his absolute confidants. Once they died, no one knew their identities, and the children almost starved to death. It was simply unbearable.

Ma Cuilan and Tang Guochen were so bold that they dared to seize his property. In his eyes, they were already dead. As for Xiao Yunxi, she could not be forgiven for abusing the child.

After returning home and lying back on the kang, Zhou Jin closed his eyes and his breathing gradually became regular.

in the dark,

Xiao Yunxi, who was hugging Niuniu, opened her eyes, flashing a faint cold light, then closed them again, her breathing becoming even.

for a long time,

Zhou Jin opened his eyes again, looked towards the innermost part of the kang, and frowned. Was it an illusion?

The backyard of Luochuan County Government Office,

Murong Chen was pacing back and forth in the main room.

Qin Shou teamed up with Zhang Guanjia to fabricate false cases in his jurisdiction and control him. He thought that the prefect would be afraid to intervene directly.

He was appointed by His Majesty himself. If he really wanted to fight, he would write to the court to protect officials who oppressed the people, plundered the people's wealth, and seized the people's property.

Even if you can keep your official hat, you will lose a lot of money.

Unexpectedly, the prefect was so unscrupulous that he sent people to the county to restrict his actions and even sent troops to Tangjia Village, saying that the villagers were rebelling. What should he do?

Whoosh!

The arrow flew past his eyes and pierced into the pillar. There was a note on the arrow:

"Make things bigger and get the secret guards to help."

His first reaction was that the prefect was trying to trap him in a sting operation, accusing him of treason and then killing him openly.

clang!

A token flew out of the void, with the word "An" engraved on it. It was indeed the token of the Dark Guard!

Murong Chen was overjoyed.

"I've been fed up with you, old bastard, for a long time. This time I'm going to knock one of your teeth out!"

Dongshan Town Temporary Yamen,

Murong Hai was worried about Murong Chen when an arrow shot out of the void, followed by a token.

"If the palace soldiers come to demand someone, detain them. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy, with the assistance of the secret guards."

Xiao Yunxi was unaware of the turbulent situation outside. The next morning, she got up on time. Dabao got up too without being called. The two of them tiptoed to the yard.

Warm up by running, then do some boxing, and then actual combat.

Zhou Jin also stood up when he heard the noise, but he didn't disturb them and just watched from the side.

The moves were simple and practical, a killing technique that was even more brutal than the boxing he taught Dabao. He frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

"That's all for today. Go wake up your younger brothers and sisters."

Xiao Yunxi put away her fist and went into the kitchen. Zhou Jin followed Dabao back to the house and asked in a low voice:

"Did she abuse you?"

Dabao shook his head, then nodded. Zhou Jin was a little puzzled.

"When she was first kicked out, Mom was in a very bad mood. She had nothing to eat or drink and was in a bad mood. That was all the Tang family's fault, not hers. But later on, she became better and treated us better..."

Zhou Jin widened his eyes:

"You actually called her mother?"

"Dabao, come and help me light the fire."

“Here it comes.”

Dabao's mouth corners curled up. He had never called Xiao Yunxi that before, but he called it out unconsciously just now. He probably accepted Xiao Yunxi subconsciously.

Zhou Jin felt that Dabao must have been deceived by Xiao Yunxi, so he patted Niuniu's butt gently.

"Get up."

Niuniu opened her eyes dazedly, saw Zhou Jin, and stretched out her hand:

"Daddy, give me a hug."

The chubby little girl asked for a hug, and Zhou Jin's heart softened. He picked up the chubby little girl:

"Daddy, give Niuniu some clothes."

"not good."

The little head shook like a rattle,

"Mom said that only good children can do their own things. Niuniu should be a good child."

The education of modern children is self-reliance, while the aristocratic concept of feudal society is to have everything provided for you, and the main focus is on a disabled education.

Niuniu's words made him feel that Xiao Yunxi was not good to the child. After all, she had a history of beating children. Zhou Jin felt even more distressed:

"Daddy will put it on for you."

"do not want!"

Niuniu struggled to break away from Zhou Jin's embrace, then put on her clothes and shoes in a serious manner. There was a super mini wooden basin and cup at the door where the toiletries were placed.

Even the towels are mini versions with a cute duck embroidered on them.

Xiaobao was also woken up. Zhou Jin wanted to dress him, but was rejected again. He was a little confused.

"Daddy asks you, do you like your stepmother?"

"I like it."

"Your stepmother lets you dress and wash yourself, and you like that?"

"Isn't it right for you to dress and wash yourself?"

"..."

Xiaobao, who finds it troublesome to put on his own shoes, is forced to be self-reliant, and yet he still protects Xiao Yunxi. This doesn't seem right.

Niuniu and Xiaobao were squatting by the sink brushing their teeth. The two little guys were very careful, brushing their teeth up and down, left and right. Zhou Jin then realized that they were not using willow branches,

"What do you use to rinse your mouth?"

"toothbrush...."

Zhou Jin said he had never heard of it. He waited until the two little ones finished brushing their teeth before he picked up the toothbrush to check.

The wooden handle has some kind of animal bone at the front and the hairy part is pig bristle. Zhou Jin gestured up and down recalling the movements of Niuniu and Xiaobao brushing their teeth.

"Use this, the new one."

Xiao Yunxi handed him a new toothbrush.

The toothbrush is bigger than the ones used by Xiaobao and Niuniu, so it should be the adult version.

Xiao Yunxi used her fingers to pick out a little paste from the porcelain bottle and put it on the toothbrush. She picked up the cup to rinse her mouth, spit out the water, and started brushing her teeth.

He followed suit.

The toothpaste is very cool when you put it in your mouth, and your mouth will have a fragrant aroma after brushing your teeth.

"What is this made of?"

"Poria cocos, Patchouli, Cymbopogon citratus, and mint have the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, and providing a fragrant breath."

Zhou Jin felt that Xiao Yunxi's life was even more luxurious than his, but when he thought about the fact that tofu made a fortune every day, it didn't seem so surprising.

He felt more and more that the woman he had spent 100 taels of silver to marry was quite interesting.
