Lin Shuang was startled and patted his chest, "What's wrong with you kids? You're making a fuss." Lin Shuang said to the kids.

"Mom, come here quickly." Xiao Jingyu ran directly to Lin Shuang and pulled Lin Shuang to Xiao Yi's side.

"What are you doing? Mom is talking to someone else." I don't know what's wrong with this child.

"Lin Shuang, based on the last incident of selling children, we followed the clues and found that it was Juweilou who had been secretly operating for many years. This is just one place, and they are doing the same thing in other prefectures."

"Constable Wang, I don't think the owner of a small Juweilou restaurant would have so many manpower and resources."

Wang Jianzhong glanced at Lin Shuang and felt that Lin Shuang had good insight. He smiled and said, "Yes, after careful investigation, we found that it was the current minister who was secretly operating this matter."

"They also refined the puppets so that they could attack the city in the future. Fortunately, it hasn't been long, otherwise the world would be in chaos."

"Just using children as puppets?" Lin Shuang asked the question in his heart.

Wang Jianzhong shook his head, "Not really. As long as they're human, they'll be kidnapped directly. If they're sold in a regular brokerage, it'll cost money and they'll be exposed.

So, it's generally not that dangerous, and you can just do it when no one is paying attention."

"What's the result?" Lin Shuang knew that if this mission had not been triggered, such a dark thing might never have been discovered.

"The Emperor has sentenced all those involved to death, and the Shangshu Mansion will execute them in the autumn."

"Okay, thank you. You said I've done a great deed this time. What do you have to reward me with?"

Lin Shuang was more concerned about whether it was gold or silver.

"The county magistrate will reward you with one hundred taels of silver." Wang Jianzhong waved his hand, and someone came forward with a box containing silver.

Wang Jianzhong took it and said, "Lin Shuang, take it."

Lin Shuang took it and said, "Constable Wang, thank the County Magistrate for me. I have some food at home. Please bring it back for the County Magistrate to try."

"Okay." Constable Wang agreed immediately.

Lin Shuang turned around and went into the room. Several cubs looked at Wang Jianzhong warily, hiding behind Xiao Yi one by one.

Xiao Yi walked forward and said politely, "Constable Wang, why don't you come in and sit down?"

"No, I have things to do at the government office, and I can't even run around." Wang Jianzhong smiled and waved his hand to decline.

"Okay then." Xiao Yi didn't force it.

Lin Shuang packed some spicy strips, instant noodles and bread, and packed two portions.

She also gave her some cosmetics that she made at home. Lin Shuang thought they were quite easy to use and did not harm her skin.

Several people watched Lin Shuang slowly approaching.

Lin Shuang stood in front of him and said, "Constable Wang, there are some food and cosmetics in this. Take them back to the county magistrate. The food can be shared with them, and the cosmetics can be given to the women in your family. This portion is for you, and it contains the same things."

"Lin Shuang, why did you prepare another one for me?" Wang Jianzhong felt a little embarrassed.

"What's this? Take it quickly."

"Thank you very much. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Wang Jianzhong returned with many detectives.

Several kids kept staring at their departing backs.

After they walked away, he turned around and looked at Lin Shuang, "Mom, why did he look for you?"

"What's wrong? You don't like him? He even saved you guys."

"Mom, it's not that I don't like him, it's that I don't want you to get too close to him, because I think he likes you a little bit, and then I'll be left without a mother."

Xiao Jingyu spoke out his true feelings with a wronged look on his face.

Lin Shuang found it very funny. This child was too insecure. How could he still think of this?

"You little brat, how is this possible? As long as I'm here, I'm your mother. This is an unchangeable fact. Don't let your imagination run wild in the future."

"That's what I was thinking. No wonder you're looking at Constable Wang like he's a thief.

Your father isn't even worried yet, why are you little brats so worried?"

The boys looked at Xiao Yi, and sure enough, there was no worry on Xiao Yi's face.

Xiao Jingyu was puzzled. Isn't his father afraid that his mother will run away?

"Dad, why aren't you worried? Really, you don't even worry about your own affairs."

"Why should I be so anxious? Why should I worry? Your mother will never be with anyone else. She will only be my wife. Your mother won't like a man like Constable Wang."

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why Dad isn't in a hurry at all."

"You guys must not have such thoughts in the future, otherwise I will ignore you.

Besides, you can't have such baseless thoughts about Constable Wang; he might already have a wife."

Lin Shuang pretended to threaten.

"Okay, Mom, I definitely won't tell anyone." Xiao Jingyu immediately covered his mouth with both hands, his eyes wide open, fearing that Lin Shuang would ignore him if she was unhappy.

The other kids also said that there would be no next time, and Lin Shuang was satisfied.

"Come on, let's go inside and look at the silver."

This is money earned through hard work, it is honorable and different.

"Great, I like silver the most." Xiao Nanxin cheered.

Several people were amused by Xiao Nanxin's money-loving look.

After closing the door of the main room, everyone sat on the stools. There was silver on the table, five big ingots, ten taels each.

After the children had felt around, they pushed the silver toward Lin Shuang and said, "Stepmother, please keep the silver. We are relying on you to take care of this family now."

Lin Shuang thought about it and it made sense. She was the one who bought everything for the family, so it was safer to keep the money on her, not to mention keeping it in the space, which made her feel more at ease.

But seeing that the kids seemed to like silver, he took out four silver coins of similar size from his purse.

"Here, each of you takes one. Keep it with you and use it whenever you want. This is your pocket money."

"Wow, Mom, that's so much. Dad only gave me a few cents before." As she said this, she looked at Xiao Yi with resentment.

Lin Shuang also looked at Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi looked at the change in the children's hands and thought about the three cents he had given them before. It was indeed a little too little. He felt uncomfortable being stared at and touched his nose guiltily.

"Mom, can I use this pocket money to buy needlework?"

Lin Shuang looked at Xiao Wangshu in surprise, "What's wrong? Do you want to make clothes and be an embroiderer?"

Xiao Wangshu shook his head. "I want to make a piece of clothing for mother myself. I don't know how yet, so I want to learn first. Mother, just give me some scraps of cloth."
