After transmigrating into the body of a stepmother, I led the villains in a rebellion.

Lin Shu walked towards the entrance of the Lu family's courtyard first, followed closely by Su Qing.

After the two arrived at the door and made sure no one was behind them, Lin Shu suddenly stopped and turned to look at her.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Before we talk, I'd like to confirm something. What did that stand-in mean? What did he mean by saying you're not from this world?"

Su Qing stared directly at Lin Shu, trying to take in her entire expression.

Lin Shu tightened his grip on his side, his bright eyes calm and unwavering as he met Su Qing's questioning without the slightest fear.

"It means I am not from the Xia Kingdom."

She originally knew nothing about this world, until that day when she chatted with Dr. Gao and accidentally learned about it.

In addition, Su Qing's appearance made her more cautious.

The place she is in now belongs to the Xia Kingdom, the country that Lu Shiyuan is serving.

But alongside them are the states of Jiang and Hua.

The Xia Kingdom is known for its agricultural civilization, where people live in peace and prosperity, and the country is powerful. It is especially skilled in military strategy and martial arts. Lu Shiyuan is a famous young war god in the Xia Kingdom. Because of his protection, the Xia Kingdom has not been invaded.

The State of Jiang, on the other hand, is located in a remote corner with rugged mountains and rivers. Due to its unique geographical location, the State of Jiang has a natural advantage in military affairs. Moreover, the people of Jiang admire martial arts and have a fierce and valiant folk culture, making them a force to be reckoned with.

As for the Hua Kingdom, it was the most prosperous of the three kingdoms. Its commerce was thriving, its culture was flourishing, and its diplomacy was sophisticated. It often won by using its wisdom. Although its military strength was not as strong as that of the Xia and Jiang kingdoms, its economic strength and diplomatic strategies were enough to make it invincible among the three kingdoms.

The Three Kingdoms, which were originally at peace, began to stir with the disappearance of the young war god Lu Shiyuan.

Previously, the Xia Kingdom Emperor had been keeping Lu Shiyuan's whereabouts a secret, but secrets can always be kept.

As spies from various countries infiltrated, Lu Shiyuan's disappearance gradually came to light.

The borders of Xia Kingdom have also begun to be frequently harassed, which is why Yuan Bingxuan is so eager to get the gold.

Only by acquiring the gold could they have sufficient strength to contend with the other two countries.

Hearing Lin Shu's reply, Su Qing's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

Watching the doubt and speculation in Lin Shu's eyes gradually turn into guilt and self-blame.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to test her. I just didn't want to reveal her identity."

Lin Shu guiltily looked away and nodded knowingly, "I understand."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Su Qing's mocking voice from beside her, "You still understand? I'm talking about you."

Lin Shu looked at her speechlessly.

Su Qing immediately stopped laughing. "I'm sorry, I know you have amnesia, so you don't remember anything from the past."

Again.

Lin Shu didn't know how to respond to her, so he naturally acquiesced.

"You didn't come here just to ask me this question on purpose, did you?"

“Of course not,” Su Qing said matter-of-factly. “I came to find you because I found the person who harmed you.”

Lin Shu raised an eyebrow, her face, covered in red spots, showing surprise. So this person really did exist; she had thought…

That's true, because the original owner died young, and the original work didn't mention her background much.

She has amnesia; she's a blank slate with no past, and her existence is merely to advance the plot.

When the past was mentioned, Su Qing's expression became heavy and sorrowful.

She walked past Lin Shu, gazing at the distant peaks, and began to speak to herself, "Actually, this is also my fault. If I hadn't told you about your brother's death on the battlefield, you wouldn't have come to Xia Kingdom to avenge him."

"If you hadn't come here, you wouldn't have been framed by Mo Yunwei and ended up in this situation..."

"Wait," Lin Shu noticed a name as he listened to Su Qing's dreamlike voice.

"Mo Yunwei? What exactly happened? Can you explain in detail?" Lin Shu couldn't help but interrupt her because she simply couldn't keep up with the leaps in her thoughts; the scope was too broad.

Su Qing looked away and told her the whole story.

After hearing the truth, Lin Shu could only look up to the sky and sigh, "Fate really does play tricks on us!"

Unexpectedly, she and Lu Shiyuan had a grudge against each other.

Lu Shiyuan is the young war god of the Xia Kingdom. He is invincible on the battlefield, and wherever he goes, corpses lie everywhere.

The original owner's elder brother died at his hands. After learning this news, the original owner secretly infiltrated the Xia Kingdom with Qin Zixuan, just to kill Lu Shiyuan and avenge his brother.

Who knew that he would be caught off guard and fall into Mo Yunwei's trap, resulting in not only amnesia but also disfigurement.

Even more surprisingly, she married Lu Shiyuan.

The sudden news was so explosive that Lin Shu was completely unprepared.

Fortunately, she wasn't the real Lin Shu, so the truth wasn't too hard for her to accept.

Amidst her sigh, she couldn't help but ask the question that had been lingering in her mind, "So you came here to kill Lu Shiyuan?"

“No, I’m here to kill that stand-in,” Su Qing said. “I can’t kill Mo Yunwei in one go, so I’ll kill his beloved woman first, make him suffer unbearable pain, and then slowly kill him.”

Lin Shu, though unsure why Su Qing kept calling Yuan Bingxuan "stunt double," wisely refrained from pressing her for an answer.

Past experience has taught her not to get too caught up in such trivial matters.

Otherwise, the truth will cause you unbearable pain. "Then what is your grudge against Lu Shiyuan?"

"Take your time to calculate," Su Qing said, her eyes thoughtfully sweeping across her face. The meaning was clear: it was because of her.

Lin Shu gave an awkward twitch of his lips. "Is it because of me?"

"Not entirely. After experiencing what happened to you, I learned a lesson: never act impulsively."

“Besides, this message was passed on to me by Qin Zixuan, and I think it needs to be verified. So I will kill him after I find out the truth and confirm that it was Lu Shiyuan who did it.” Su Qing did not hide anything from Lin Shu, her former friend.

She put it very bluntly, "As for your mother-in-law and children, I will not hurt them."

Lin Shu's lips twitched slightly. Was this a sarcastic remark?

"Just be reasonable."

Although she wouldn't mind killing one more person, she was somewhat reluctant to kill Su Qing, whether because of the body she was in or because Su Qing had helped her this time.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing glared at her irritably, "Don't be too happy yet. If he really killed your brother, let's see how you live?"

...Lin Shu.

She awkwardly touched her nose and quickly changed the subject, "How about I bandage your wound for you? You're injured."

Seeing that she still had some conscience, though not much, Su Qing was comforted, "At least you have a conscience."

At this moment, Ji Shi, Lu Shiyuan, and the other two in the room were staring at each other.

After repeatedly confirming with the two that he was alright, Lu Shiyuan immediately made an excuse to send Lu Zijing away.

"Ah Jin, go see what your mother is doing?"
