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

Seeing Lin Shu and Xu Qingjin start fighting, the group of noble ladies instinctively looked at the princess and asked, "Princess, should we stop them?"

"No, Lin Shu brought this upon himself, he has no one to blame but himself." The princess looked coldly in Lin Shu's direction.

Seeing that the princess had said so, the others dared not say anything more and could only watch helplessly.

Xu Qingjin's attacks were ruthless, each strike killing. Lin Shu did not confront him directly, not out of fear, but to observe his martial arts style.

After several probing moves, Lin Shu realized that Xu Qingjin was just a brute who only knew how to use brute force.

The reason he was so powerful was because of his brute strength.

Upon seeing this, Lin Shu's lips curled up slightly.

If you want to see who has the harder fist, then let him see whose fist is harder.

Lin Shu watched as Xu Qingjin swung his fist at him, and amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, he swung his fist to meet Xu Qingjin's attack head-on.

As their fists collided, Xu Qingjin suddenly retreated.

Coming to his senses, he looked at Lin Shu with a face full of astonishment.

He never thought that anyone in Jiangguo could withstand his punch, but Lin Shu did.

Enraged, he glared at them, his eyes wide, and gritted his teeth, saying, "You're asking for it."

After saying that, he took the heavy hammer from his waist and swung it at Lin Shu again.

This action made everyone's hearts jump.

Although Lin Shu just took Xu Qingjin's punch head-on, it doesn't mean she can touch the heavy hammer in Xu Qingjin's hand.

Su Qing and Lu Zijin were even more on tenterhooks.

"Aunt Su, my mother will be alright, right?"

"Everything will be alright," Su Qing said, as if she were comforting Lu Zijing, but also as if she were comforting herself.

If Xu Qingjin dares to harm Lin Shu, she will go to the Xu family tonight and poison them, making their entire family pay with their lives for Lin Shu.

Xu Qingjin discovered that Lin Shu had been dodging him ever since he used the heavy hammer.

He immediately scoffed disdainfully, "Hmph, a mere trick!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he launched another attack, each punch accompanied by a whistling sound, as if he wanted to tear the air apart.

However, Lin Shu was like a small boat sailing in a raging storm, always able to find a weakness at the critical moment and nimbly avoid it.

After several rounds, Xu Qingjin's stamina began to show signs of fatigue. His heavy breathing and the beads of sweat on his forehead indicated that he was gradually losing ground.

Lin Shu then took the initiative on the battlefield, seizing the opportunity during a moment when Xu Qingjin's offensive slowed down.

She sprang up like a cheetah pouncing on its prey, delivering a punch straight to Xu Qingjin's chest.

This punch combined all his strength with precise timing, and its speed was dazzling.

With a loud "bang," Xu Qingjin's massive body was sent flying by the punch, crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

He struggled to get up, but it was in vain. Lin Shu had no intention of letting him go and rushed towards him.

She grabbed his foot, glanced at the princess and the group of idle noble ladies, and then said to Lu Zijin, "Ajin, watch closely, your mother will beat this stupid pig for you."

After saying that, he grabbed Xu Qingjin's foot and swung it across the ground.

At this moment, Xu Qingjin was not a person in her eyes at all, but a piece of rag that she could knead at will.

To think you could beat her in strength is simply a pipe dream.

Lin Shusheng's most boastful asset was her strength, but she was very modest and never showed it off.

Unexpectedly, this fool dared to show off in front of her, and even dared to curse the Duke's mansion to be childless.

Today she'll see how the Xu family becomes extinct.

Lin Shu's brutality not only shocked the Xu siblings, but even a group of onlookers avoided her.

From people who used to want to make fun of her, to people who now tremble at the sight of her.

Two years have passed, and Lin Shu is no longer the Lin Shu of the past.

In the past, Lin Shu was at most known for his harsh words and unforgiving nature when he was right.

But now, she not only speaks harshly, she also kills without blinking an eye.

She's a monster who eats people without spitting out the bones.

Wherever Lin Shu's gaze fell, everyone unconsciously took a step back.

Even princesses are no exception.

Once Lin Shu had vented his anger and felt satisfied, he threw Xu Qingjin like a rag doll towards a large tree nearby.

With another loud bang, Xu Qingjin crashed into the tree trunk, then slid helplessly to the ground and lost consciousness.

Seeing this, Xu Qingjiao looked at Lin Shu with fear in her eyes, but dared not move.

Lin Shu calmly patted the non-existent healing on his body and looked at Xu Qingjiao with an arrogant expression.

"I've said it before, this is the first and the last time. If I hear any more rumors about the Duke's Mansion and the Su family next time, I won't hesitate to cripple you all."

If she didn't want to cause trouble for the Duke's mansion, she would have killed them directly.

Xu Qingjiao looked at Lin Shu with a face full of horror. From this moment on, she and Lin Shu were no longer opponents on the same level.

After shocking everyone, Lin Shu returned to his usual calm and collected demeanor.

Looking at Su Qing, whose eyes were red, he said in a gentle tone, "I will do what my brother didn't finish. As long as I am here, no one will dare to bully you."

Su Qing's tears, which had already broken down, flowed out like pearls from a broken string. Unable to contain her grief, she threw herself into Lin Shu's arms and cried.

"I know, I know, thank you, Lin Shu."

After Su Qing finished crying, Lin Shu coldly swept his gaze over the group, led by the princess, and asked, "Shall we continue with the banquet today?"

Having witnessed her previous violence, who would dare to provoke her in public?

Even a princess would have to be a little afraid of it.

Those were the greatest warriors of the Jiang Kingdom, yet they were like rags in Lin Shu's hands. How could they possibly be at Lin Shu's mercy?

They shook their heads vigorously, wishing they could get rid of this scourge immediately; who would dare to continue?

It must be said that Lin Shu's actions left an indelible shadow in the hearts of all the noble ladies.

Seeing that they had no objections, Lin Shu casually said, "Since you all have no problem, then we'll be leaving now." After saying that, he reached out and took Lu Zijing's hand, leading Su Qing away from the princess's residence in a swaggering manner.

The three had barely left the princess's residence when a palace servant sent by the imperial palace entered the residence.

The palace servants, with solemn expressions and hurried steps, went straight to the princess.

When the princess saw the newcomer, her already pale face became even more solemn.

The person who came was none other than the emperor's eunuch.

Upon seeing him, the princess hurried forward. "Eunuch De, has something happened in the palace?"

The eunuch nodded solemnly. "The Empress Dowager is seriously ill. This servant has come to inform Your Highness on the Emperor's orders."

Upon hearing this, the princess swayed, her face instantly turning as pale as paper, her hands clenched into fists, her knuckles turning white from the force.

"How could this be? I saw Mother yesterday and she was perfectly fine."

The eunuch sighed, "You've been bedridden since you left yesterday, and the Emperor and the imperial physicians stayed with you all night."

"The situation has not improved until now, which is why His Majesty deliberately instructed me to inform Your Highness."
