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

Lin Shu looked at Aunt Qi with gratitude. He was truly grateful to Aunt Qi and her family.

During the time she was away, if it weren't for Aunt Qi's family helping to take care of them, I don't know how my mother-in-law and Ah Jin would have fared.

"Thank you, Aunt Qi."

"Don't mention it, just make sure you come back safely," Aunt Qi said, looking at Lin Shu with affection. Although she felt unworthy, she couldn't help but treat Lin Shu like her own daughter.

In fact, they all knew very well about the Lu family.

Whether it's their demeanor or their appearance, you can tell at a glance that they come from extraordinary backgrounds.

Lin Shu chatted casually with the Qi family members for a few minutes before turning around and leaving.

Just as I stepped out of the Qi family's courtyard, I heard Li Jiaojiao's voice behind me, "Sister Lin."

Lin Shu stopped and turned to look at her. Seeing her walking towards her with an uncomfortable expression, he immediately looked at her curiously.

Seeing Lin Shu staring at her with a puzzled look, Li Jiaojiao explained shyly, "I came to apologize to you, Sister Lin. I was thinking of scheming against you, but I didn't expect you to not only not hold it against me, but also give my mother-in-law such a generous gift."

She could have kept this a secret, since it was only known to their family and not to Lin Shu.

But she couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart; she felt that she was in the wrong and should apologize.

After hearing Li Jiaojiao's words, Lin Shu smiled knowingly.

Although she hadn't paid much attention before, hearing Li Jiaojiao's honest words still brought her some comfort.

"It's all in the past, no need to think about it so much."

After hearing her words, Li Jiaojiao's eyes immediately reddened.

Her eyes, blurry with tears, held a mixture of shock and surprise as she stared at her in astonishment. "Sister Lin, you..."

Lin Shu gently patted her shoulder, "No one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes. The important thing is to learn from them and behave properly in the future."

"Moreover, I believe you are inherently good, and that you have only been blinded by the child."

Lin Shu's words brought tears to Li Jiaojiao's eyes.

It turned out that it wasn't her imagination; Lin Shuzhen had indeed heard her words.

But that's precisely why her guilt was even stronger.

She immediately choked up, "Thank you, Sister Lin, thank you for not holding a grudge. I swear, I will never do it again. If you ever need anything from me, just tell me, and I, Li Jiaojiao, will do it without hesitation."

Lin Shu smiled and shook his head. "No need to be so polite. We're neighbors, it's only right that we help each other."

After speaking with Li Jiaojiao, Lin Shu turned and headed back to the Lu family's courtyard.

When Su Qing got home, she had already packed all the packages.

He packed up his own little bundle, including Lu Zijin's.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Shu helped Lu Zijing wash up and then coaxed her to bed.

Looking at Lin Shuxian's virtuous appearance, Su Qing was filled with admiration. It seemed that the spoiled and willful young lady had grown up.

The next morning, just as dawn broke, Lin Shu quietly got out of bed, afraid of waking Lu Zijing who was still fast asleep.

She quickly washed and dressed, then went into the bridal chamber to prepare breakfast.

Inside the shed, wisps of smoke rose from the chimney, mingling with the fresh air outside, creating a tranquil and cozy atmosphere.

Su Qing was awakened by the noise coming from the bridal chamber. After she finished washing up and came to the bridal chamber, Lin Shu had already prepared breakfast and brought it to her.

Although she had only eaten Lin Shu's cooking once, it left a deep impression on her.

This time, just looking at it makes me want to eat more, not to mention the taste.

Looking at the white, shiny stuff in the bowl, which resembled noodles, Su Qing sat down at the table and asked, "What is this?"

"This is called rice noodles, you should try it," Lin Shu said tactfully.

Before he could finish speaking, Su Qing had already picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

Lin Shu shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked towards the house, then pulled Lu Zijing out of bed.

After dressing him and washing him up, we took him outside.

After settling him down to sit next to Su Qing, she turned and went back into the bridal chamber.

As Lu Zijing got up, Tiantian and Tiger Mom came to his side, waiting for Lin Shu to feed them.

After the three men and two tigers finished breakfast, they began to carry their luggage and prepare to set off for Jiang Kingdom.

To save trouble, Su Qing simply put all the luggage on Tiger Mom's back and let her carry it.

Tiger Mom strongly disapproved of her immoral behavior, but she couldn't withstand Lu Zijing's authority.

As soon as the three men and two tigers stepped out of the courtyard, they saw the Qi family waiting at the door with thick bundles in their hands.

As soon as Aunt Qi saw them, a warm smile immediately appeared on her face, and she quickly came forward to greet them. "Daughter-in-law of the Lu family, you have a long journey ahead of you, and we don't have anything good to give you, so we specially made some food for you to take on your journey."

"Aunt Qi..."

Lin Shu was about to refuse when Li Jiaojiao interrupted her, "Sister Lin, please don't refuse our kindness."

Seeing this, Lin Shu didn't continue. "Alright, then I'll accept your offer."

The Qi family and their group escorted Lin Shu, the other two men, and the two tigers to the entrance of Qijia Village.

Lin Shu and his companions boarded the carriage, and the rest of the villagers followed.

Looking at their familiar and warm faces, Lin Shu felt a strange sense of nostalgia.

Perhaps this is what we call feelings!

After bidding farewell to the villagers of Qijia Village, Lin Shu drove the carriage towards Jiang State.

Along the way, sunlight shone through the sparse clouds onto the winding mountain road, adding warmth and hope to the journey.

Lin Shu sat at the front of the carriage, taking on the responsibility of driving, while Su Qing sat leisurely to the side.

Lu Zijing sat in the carriage with Tiantian in his arms, sharing his observations with Lin Shu with a look of wonder.

Tiger Mom ran alongside the carriage, keeping pace with its speed.

"It's been over a year since I left, and I'm finally going home. You know what, I have mixed feelings," Su Qing suddenly sighed.

Su Qing's words made Lin Shu feel a little guilty.

As a friend, Su Qing is someone worth befriending, because she searched for the original owner of this body day and night because of her disappearance.

"What's so complicated? If anything should be complicated, it should be me. You haven't even told me what kind of person I was before."

"If I were to return to Jiang Kingdom so rashly and be asked questions that I knew nothing, they would definitely suspect that I was not the real Lin Shu, but an imposter."

She had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but she hadn't asked it yet.

On the one hand, she wasn't interested and hadn't thought about getting involved with him; on the other hand, she didn't have time. She had been busy with Lu Shiyuan's affairs and had never had time to have a proper chat with Su Qing.

Now that she finally has this free time, she is determined to find out the truth so that she can have a plan when she arrives in Jiang Kingdom.
