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

Although Lu Zijin is young, he has quite a few followers.

He knew that his father and grandmother had something to say and were deliberately trying to get him away.

They immediately took Tian Tian and left Lu Shiyuan's house.

After watching Lu Zijing leave, a serious look flashed in Lu Shiyuan's clear and deep peach blossom eyes. "Aunt, you heard what A-Shu and that woman said today, didn't you?"

Ji knew that Lu Shiyuan was going to bring up this matter with her, which was exactly what she had been thinking about.

Actually, she had already guessed this outcome before this happened.

After all, Lin Shu's change was too sudden, but she never dared to expose the truth.

Because their lives were so hard, and they finally had a little bit of sweetness, she didn't want to expose it, even if that sweetness was stolen.

“I know what you want to say. Actually, I’m not the only one who knows about this; Aheng knows it too.”

Lu Shiyuan was speechless. "Aheng knows?"

Madam Ji nodded. "I don't know how much Aheng guessed, but he once told me that no matter how incredible things happened to his mother, he shouldn't be curious or ask questions, as that would only make things difficult for her."

At this point, Ji Shi found it amusing for no reason and raised her eyes to look at Lu Shiyuan.

"Do you know what? My daughter-in-law thinks she's hidden herself very well and that no one knows her true identity, but little does she know that we've known all along that she's not who she is."

Hearing Ji's teasing and Lu Junheng's retelling, Lu Shiyuan suddenly felt ashamed of himself, "I didn't expect that I was not as insightful as you guys."

When Ji saw him wallowing in self-pity, she immediately exposed him, saying, "It's not that you're less insightful than us, but that you care about your daughter-in-law more than we do."

"They say that those involved are often confused while bystanders see things clearly. You only have eyes for her, so naturally you can't see anything else."

When Ji Shi exposed Lu Shiyuan's true colors, a bitter look appeared on his noble and handsome face. "It's just a pity that she doesn't like me."

Ji Shi used to agree with this.

But after what happened today, her thoughts have changed somewhat.

Especially when he recalled Lin Shu's expression when A Yuan fainted.

Perhaps she herself didn't realize how nervous and scared she was, and even completely ignored them.

Ji opened her mouth, wanting to tell Lu Shiyuan about this.

But for some reason, the words just wouldn't come out.

Perhaps when it comes to matters of the heart, it's best to let them handle it themselves.

"Don't be discouraged. Your daughter-in-law has no memory, so she will inevitably be more cautious when things happen. Besides, I think that woman in the yard seems to be after her."

"Who knows what she might remember? If you rashly promise her your life, how will she cope when she regains her memories?"

To her, Lin Shu was not only their benefactor, but also their family, an inseparable part of them.

Although they should give her full respect and protection.

Reminded by Ji, Lu Shi frowned slightly, his fists clenched tightly at his sides.

Yes, how could he forget Lin Shu's background?

She has amnesia, so she doesn't remember her background. If she regains her memory one day, will she leave him?

"If she regains her memory and wants to leave, I wouldn't mind letting her lose her memory again."

Lu Shiyuan's somewhat obsessive words surprised and even terrified Ji Shi.

She immediately stood up. "Ah Yuan, I don't care what you're thinking, but our daughter-in-law is our benefactor, and I will never allow you to hurt her."

"Even if we want her to stay, we must respect her opinion."

Lu Shiyuan's selfish thoughts, which had just begun to rise in his heart, were interrupted by Ji Shi, and he lowered his eyes with some grievance.

But Lady Ji refused to give up, saying, "Did you hear that?"

“I heard you,” Lu Shiyuan replied in a deep voice.

Having received his inattentive reply, Lady Ji was unsure whether he had taken her words to heart.

But she didn't continue to argue with him and got up to leave Lu Shiyuan's room.

As Ji walked out of the room, she saw Lin Shu leading Su Qing out of the room.

Lin Shu was dressed in a simple blue robe, which, though not glamorous, could not conceal her ethereal气质 (qi zhi - a kind of refined elegance or aura).

She had always known about Lin Shu's extraordinary abilities, but as things drew closer, she could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.

In fact, Lu Shiyuan's thoughts were not unique to Lu Shiyuan; she thought the same way.

If Lin Shu were to leave after regaining her memory, they wouldn't mind making her lose her memory again.

Although this is a bit too ungrateful.

Seeing that Madam Ji was staring at her, Lin Shu came to her side with concern, "Mother-in-law, are you hurt anywhere?"

"It's nothing serious, just a bit of a fright," said Ji.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu's expression changed slightly, and a murderous intent flashed in his bright eyes.

It's all Yuan Bingxuan and Qin Zixuan's fault. If she had known, she should have just killed them.

She suppressed her anger and rage, and calmly reached out to help Ji Shi up. "Mother-in-law, it's all my fault today. If I had come back earlier, you wouldn't have been so frightened."

"It's not your fault. It's good that you got back in time," Ji said, patting Lin Shu's hand as she supported her, indicating that she shouldn't blame herself.

At the same time, he sighed inwardly, how could anyone bear to let go of someone like that?

"Then let me help you back to your room to rest," Lin Shu said, helping Ji Shi back to her room. Fearing that she might be frightened and hurt herself, he took out a bottle of spiritual spring water from his spatial storage to calm her down.

After calming Ji down, Lin Shu left the house and closed the door for her.

Seeing this, Su Qing couldn't help but sigh, "I never expected that the willful and capricious Lin Shu would become so considerate after losing his memory."

Hearing her exclamation, Lin Shu remained unconvinced, "There are many things you wouldn't expect, such as my excellent cooking skills."

"I'll help you," Su Qing said, though she was disdainful of such things, she suddenly wanted to get to know her friend better.

Lin Shu did not refuse.

Under Su Qing's shocked gaze, Lin Shu skillfully walked into the kitchen and began to process the ingredients. His technique was so skillful that it was impossible to see any trace of his former arrogance.

Her movements were light yet powerful; she carefully selected each leaf of vegetable and meticulously cut each piece of meat, as if creating works of art.

"You really am unbelievable to me. In my memory, you were a pampered young lady who never lifted a finger. I never thought that one day you would fall into the mortal world and become an ordinary person."

“People change, and I’m no exception,” Lin Shu said, his hands still moving as he spoke.

She arranged the chopped ingredients on a plate, their colors perfectly matched, making them look incredibly appetizing.

Then, she lit the stove and began to cook. Su Qing said she was there to help, but in reality, she just stood by with her arms crossed and watched.

Lin Shu acted quickly, and soon several dishes with excellent color, aroma, and taste were placed on the table.

Looking at the table full of food, Su Qing still felt like she was in a dream. "Is this food even edible?"

"Why don't you try it?" Lin Shu asked.

"Then I won't be polite," Su Qing immediately picked up her chopsticks, took some food from the bowl, and tasted it.

After eating, Su Qing's eyes gradually brightened, and finally she looked at her with disbelief, "Lin Shu, you've really changed a lot in just a few days!"

Looking at her like this, Lin Shu seemed to gradually understand the truth behind why Yuan Sheng and Su Qing became friends.

Such a noble-born daughter of a military family, showered with love and affection, actually possesses such an innocent side.

It's really hard not to like her.
