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

Yuan Bingxuan also received a system notification at this moment.

She never expected that Mo Yunwei, with so many people, couldn't even capture Lu Shiyuan, and that he could be so utterly defeated even with hostages present.

She's utterly useless; heaven knows how she chose the male lead.

Thinking about this, Yuan Bingxuan felt a sense of disappointment and frustration.

She had just run out of the room when she bumped into Lu Shiyuan and his son, who were running towards her.

Upon seeing her, Lu Junheng shouted to Lu Shiyuan, "Father, it's her! Kill her!"

When Lu Shiyuan faced her, he immediately raised the gun in his hand and aimed it at Yuan Bingxuan.

Yuan Bingxuan felt a chill run down her spine, never expecting to run into Lu Shiyuan and his son here.

Upon seeing Lu Shiyuan raise the muzzle of his gun, Yuan Bingxuan felt a surge of panic.

He blurted out instinctively, "You can't kill me unless you want Lin Shu to die with me."

Lu Shiyuan paused, his gaze towards Yuan Bingxuan filled with gloom.

Lin Shu, the person etched into his very bones and cherished in his heart, was not someone anyone could easily use to threaten.

"You dare threaten me with Lin Shu? You're asking for death."

“I didn’t,” Yuan Bingxuan quickly explained, trying to suppress her panic. “I wanted to tell you about Lin Shu’s background.”

"You probably don't know who she is or where she's from, right?"

"If you let me go, I'll tell you right away."

Seeing that Yuan Bingxuan was about to reveal Lin Shu's secret, Lu Junheng urged anxiously, "Father, don't listen to her nonsense, kill her quickly."

Lu Shiyuan ignored Lu Junheng's shouts; he was indeed curious about Lin Shu's background.

Lu Shiyuan narrowed his eyes, considering the credibility of her words.

This made Lu Junheng, who was standing to the side, very anxious.

Judging from this, Father probably doesn't know that Mother is a monster yet, and he can't let Mother's identity be exposed.

He immediately reached out and grabbed Lu Shiyuan's sleeve, "Father, don't listen to her nonsense. Mother is our mother. No matter where she comes from or who she is, she is our mother."

“But this wicked woman is Mo Yunwei’s accomplice. She’s doing this just to buy time so that Mo Yunwei can come to save her. You can’t fall for her trick.”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bingxuan sneered, "Aheng, you're so afraid of your father finding out the truth, does that mean you've already guessed that your mother isn't you at all..."

Before Yuan Bingxuan could finish speaking, she was knocked unconscious by Lu Shiyuan's palm strike.

Lu Shiyuan looked at Yuan Bingxuan, who had fainted on the ground, and subconsciously looked at Lu Junheng.

Lu Junheng looked away guiltily.

Lu Shiyuan shook his head helplessly. Ah Heng looked so nervous, it seemed he had already guessed that Lin Shu was no longer the same Lin Shu.

But this kid kept it from him too. "Aheng, I know your worries, but I want to tell you that no matter what your mother's identity is, she is my wife, Lu Shiyuan's wife, and your and Ajin's mother. That will never change."

Lu Junheng looked at Lu Shiyuan in surprise, "Father, you know everything."

"Do you think I wouldn't know something you already know?" Lu Shiyuan glared at him, annoyed.

Lu Junheng lowered his head in self-reproach, "I'm sorry, Father, I was just afraid that Mother would get hurt."

Lu Shiyuan patted Lu Junheng on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I will protect your mother and not let anyone hurt her."

Lin Shu, who was far away in the Duke of Jiang's mansion, had been sneezing non-stop all day for some reason.

She rubbed her itchy nose and muttered to herself, "Could someone be talking about me behind my back?"

She then shook her head. She only knew a handful of people; who could say anything about her?

On the other hand, it was Duke Lin Zhentian who was holding Lu Zijin tightly in his arms.

Seeing her like this, he looked at her with a worried expression, "Daughter, are you sick? Someone, quickly go and get a doctor."

Lin Shu was quite troubled by Lin Zhentian's paranoia. "Father, I am a doctor myself. Why do I need to find someone else?"

Ever since she returned to the Duke's mansion with Su Qing, she has been pampered by the Duke every day.

They treated it with utmost care, as if afraid of dropping it or melting it.

Even if Lu Zijing is Lu Shiyuan's son, it doesn't matter. As long as Lin Shu cares about him, he will extend his love to everything related to Lu Zijing.

Lin Shu finally understood Su Qing's previous worries from the Duke's concern for her.

Why must she wash off the red spots on her face before she comes back?

Su Qing knew that Lin Zhentian's affection for Lin Shu was extraordinary, and she was worried that Lin Shu's appearance when meeting Lin Zhentian would cause a sensation.

"But you're like this..."

"Dad, I'm really fine, my nose is just a little itchy." Lin Shu smiled and comforted Lin Zhentian, his eyes full of tenderness and understanding.

She knew that behind this excessive worry was fear.

Having lost it once, I'm afraid of losing it a second time.

Lin Shu also felt a warmth of family that he had never experienced before from Lin Zhentian.

Lin Zhentian's brows were still slightly furrowed upon hearing this, but he was clearly relieved. "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright, but if you really feel unwell, you must tell your father immediately."

"Grandfather, don't worry, my mother is very healthy, she can kill a tiger," Lu Zijin in his arms comforted him.

Lu Zijing's words successfully provoked Tian Tian's displeasure.

Sweetie is now almost like her tiger mom, so she immediately raised her tiger head and looked at him with a wronged expression.

Lu Zijing quickly reassured her, "It's not you, and it's not Tiger Mom." To avoid being surrounded, he also comforted Tiger Mom.

Faced with the two's coordinated attack, Lu Zhentian had no choice but to give up.

Lin Zhentian tapped Lu Zijing's nose with a hint of annoyance, "You always side with your mother."

“No, Grandfather, I’m on your side too,” Lu Zijing said sweetly, looking at him.

Looking at the harmonious family scene, Lu Zhentian couldn't help but tear up.

It had been so long since the Duke's mansion had been filled with such joy and laughter.

He had been filled with remorse ever since his old man died in battle and Lin Shu disappeared.

If he hadn't insisted on sending Lin Shu's elder brother, Lin Feng, to war, perhaps Lin Feng would still be standing safely in front of him now, and Lin Shu wouldn't have had to endure those hardships of displacement.

Whenever the night is quiet, this self-reproach surges up like a tide, eroding his heart.

But at this moment, seeing Lin Shu return with Lu Zijin, the joy of regaining what was lost has diluted much of the gloom of the past.

“Father, it’s all in the past,” Lin Shu said softly.

Although she couldn't empathize, she understood.

Since ancient times, the greatest pain in the world has been for the white-haired to bury the black-haired.

How could Lin Zhentian be an exception?

Lin Zhentian nodded gently, tears welling in his eyes, which eventually turned into a smile.

He took Lin Shu's hand and patted Lu Zijing's head. "Yes, it's all in the past. From now on, our family should cherish each other even more and never be separated again."

The Duke's mansion was peaceful and harmonious, but outside, chaos reigned.

Lin Shu, who had come back from the dead, once again stirred up waves in the Jiang Kingdom.

The reason is simple: she returned after being missing for a year.

Not only did she come back, but she also brought back a child. This is simply outrageous.

Upon hearing the news, the Xia Kingdom princess immediately hosted a banquet, hoping to catch a glimpse of Lin Shu's son and take the opportunity to humiliate Lin Shu.
