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

Lin Shu took a deep breath and tried to think of the best words to say.

He glanced at Su Qing every now and then, feeling guilty. After struggling for a moment, he finally couldn't hold back his doubts and told her the whole story.

After hearing Lin Shu's words, Su Qing's lips twitched slightly.

She thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just a trivial matter.

"Hey, I thought it was something serious. It's just this."

Lin Shu immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at her, "You know?"

"Of course I know. Isn't this a simple question? It's because he is now your husband and the only man you have ever been in contact with that you have those strange thoughts about him. Once you meet more people, you'll realize that this is just the most ordinary friendship in the world."

“Just like with my brother, I feel very sad when I see him injured, and when I see him in pain, I wish I could beat up all the people who made him feel bad and vent my anger for him,” Su Qing said so naturally, without the slightest bit of guilt.

Lin Shu listened, and although he was still half-believing, he believed it to some extent, since what Su Qing said was true.

The key point is that she didn't come into contact with many people, whether in modern times or ancient times.

Therefore, she didn't know what it felt like to be with someone, and Lu Shiyuan was undoubtedly the person closest to her and the one she spent the most time with, which is why she had such a strange feeling.

Hearing her say that, Lin Shu immediately felt relieved.

"So that's how it is. I thought I liked him," Lin Shu muttered.

Su Qing scoffed dismissively, "Like? Liking someone isn't that simple."

"Just like how I love your brother, I dream of marrying him and having his children every day. Do you feel that way?" When she mentioned that person, a gentle smile appeared on Su Qing's face, but it quickly faded. "But he's always so busy, busy handling all sorts of matters. I rarely have a chance to say a few words to him."

"The last time we talked was because he was going to the battlefield and came to say goodbye. He told me that he would marry me when he came back."

“I kept waiting, but all I got was bad news about him,” Su Qing said, her mood instantly somber as she mentioned her beloved. Her heart, which had been aching from the loss of her lover, began to ache again.

Seeing Su Qing's sad and heartbroken expression, Lin Shu couldn't help but reach out and pat her. "The deceased is gone, please accept my condolences."

Su Qing gave her a deep look. Knowing Lin Shu as she did, she knew that Lin Shu cared about his brother no less than she cared about herself.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have rushed to Xia Kingdom to kill people after learning that her brother had been killed.

The reason we are so calm now is simply because we have lost our memories of the past.

"You're not much better than me, you should keep that to comfort yourself."

Lin Shu was taken aback by Su Qing's words, and his curiosity about the original owner's lost memories grew even stronger.

What kind of person was the original owner of this body? Why does she always feel uneasy?

However, this only crossed her mind briefly, without lingering there.

Rather than these strange feelings, she preferred to focus her energy on what Su Qing had just said.

Does liking someone mean wanting to marry them and have their children all the time?

But she didn't have that feeling for Lu Shiyuan at all.

She only felt heartache when Lu Shiyuan was injured, and anger when she was hurt by others.

As for other things, she hasn't had that many insights yet.

"Since you're all set, I'll go pack my bags so we can leave tomorrow," Su Qing said, then ignored Lin Shu and got up to walk into the house.

"Don't forget to pack Ah Jin and Tian Tian's luggage," Lin Shu said, watching Su Qing's departing figure with a strange sense of worry.

She had previously heard from Dr. Gao that Jiang Guo was known for his fierce and impulsive nature, but now she saw Su Qing's impulsive and unpredictable personality.

She began to worry for no reason, wondering just how fierce and unruly the local customs were.

"I know," Su Qing's voice came from afar.

Lin Shu turned his gaze away from Su Qing, looked around at the home he had lived in for over a year, and was filled with emotion.

From initial discomfort to current reluctance to leave, humans are truly strange creatures.

Thinking of this, Lin Shu slowly stood up from the stool.

Although she doesn't know when she can return, this is at least her home in name only, and it will be her place of residence in the future. She needs to ask someone to help take good care of it.

She left the Lu family courtyard and headed towards the Qi family's direction.

Before Lin Shu even got close, he could hear bursts of children cheering from inside.

Lin Shu subconsciously stopped in his tracks, looking through the half-open wooden door with envy in his heart.

Although the Qi family was not wealthy, they lived the life everyone dreamed of: surrounded by their children and grandchildren, with laughter filling the courtyard.

This heartwarming scene was like a warm current, quietly melting away the frost in Lin Shu's heart.

Isn't this exactly what she longed for—the warmth and peace of a home throughout her life?

After a long while, Lin Shu finally snapped out of his deep thoughts from this rare tranquility, reached out and gently pushed open the wooden door. The door creaked slightly, startling the children who were playing and the adults who were busy in the yard.

They all turned towards the door, and the moment they saw Lin Shu, Aunt Qi greeted her with a look of delight, "Lu family daughter-in-law, what brings you here?"

As Aunt Qi's voice rang out, the others stopped what they were doing and looked at her.

Especially Li Jiaojiao, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qi family, had an unnatural look flash across her face the moment she saw Lin Shu.

She had been scheming against the visitors, but Lin Shu not only didn't hold it against her, but also gave them such a generous gift.

This made her feel so ashamed and inferior that she wanted to disappear.

Qi Mulei noticed his wife's embarrassment and guilt, and unusually offered words of comfort, "Jiaojiao, don't worry, Lu's wife isn't petty, she won't hold it against you."

Li Jiaojiao nodded, "I know, I just feel really sorry for her."

“We’ll make it up to her in the future. I’ll help her whenever she needs anything,” Qi Mulei said.

Li Jiaojiao agreed with a "Okay".

Lin Shu chatted briefly with Aunt Qi, and since he was about to leave on a long trip, he mentioned that he wanted to entrust the Lu family's courtyard to their care.

When Aunt Qi heard that Lin Shu was leaving Qijia Village, she was immediately very reluctant to see him go. "You just got back, and you're leaving again?"

"Yeah, I promised her before, and besides, I also have some things I need to figure out," these were Lin Shu's true feelings.

The original owner's background and secrets were like a time bomb to her.

She was afraid that one day she might accidentally explode on the spot, which would blow her to pieces.

So instead of waiting for trouble to come to her, she might as well take the initiative, which would increase her chances of success.

Seeing her worried expression, Aunt Qi knew that something must have happened to them.

But Lin Shu didn't say anything, so she didn't press him for details. "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of your home."
