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

"I apologize for disturbing General Lu's good time. I just had to leave, so I deliberately sent Ajin here to return her," Lin Shu said calmly.

Upon hearing that Lin Shu was leaving, Lu Zijing disregarded Lu Shiyuan and turned to hug Lin Shu, saying, "No, I want to go with Mother."

When Lu Shiyuan heard that Lin Shu was leaving, he also became anxious.

She immediately sat up in bed and eagerly reached out to pull Lin Shu, "Shushu, let me explain, it's not what you think."

But Qinghe grabbed her arm, "General, don't be alarmed, Madam may have misunderstood, I..."

“Shut up,” Lu Shiyuan interrupted her, his tone filled with urgency and anger.

Lin Shu glanced at Lu Zijing, his eyes filled with reluctance.

Counting the time, she had been spending every day with Lu Zijin for a year.

Although they are not mother and son, their relationship over the past year has indeed been very similar.

If it weren't for unavoidable circumstances, she would truly be reluctant to part with Lu Zijing. "Don't worry, Ajin, Mother will come back to see you."

Upon confirming that Lin Shu wouldn't be taking her, Lu Zijing's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Seeing that Lu Zijing had stopped making a fuss, Lin Shu raised his eyes to look at Lu Shiyuan. "General Lu, you don't need to explain to me. Didn't we already talk about this before?"

“I will help you reclaim the capital, and you will divorce me. This is the best solution for us.”

"Write the divorce papers first, then I'll come back for them," Lin Shu said, giving him a complicated look before finally hardening her heart and turning to leave.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyuan's expression changed drastically. He had a feeling that if Lin Shu left today, they would never see each other again.

He stood up abruptly, strode over to Lin Shu, grabbed her hand, and said, "No, you can't leave. It's all a misunderstanding. I can explain it all away."

Lin Shu broke free from his hand, her eyes filled with rejection. "Lu Shiyuan, do you think our relationship was as simple as just Qinghe? If so, why did you drink?"

"There's already an insurmountable chasm between us, isn't there? So let's part ways amicably."

She originally planned that if Lu Shiyuan knew the truth and still liked her as before, then she would tell him the truth.

Tell him she is not Lin Shu, but a lonely soul from another world.

But she didn't expect that after learning the truth, Lu Shiyuan wouldn't even want to see her.

It's easy to imagine that his disgust for this body far outweighed his fondness for it.

Therefore, even if she told Lu Shiyuan that she was not Lin Shu, she still couldn't stop Lu Shiyuan from hating her.

Rather than tormenting each other, it's better to let each other go.

This way, both of us will feel more at ease.

It just so happens that she is also going back to Jiang Kingdom, and her fate on this trip is uncertain, so she doesn't need to be a burden to him any longer.

Lin Shu's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Lu Shiyuan's heart with unerring precision, leaving him speechless for a moment.

Looking into Lin Shu's clear and resolute eyes, he felt an unprecedented sense of panic and fear welling up inside him.

“Shushu, I…” Lu Shiyuan trembled slightly because Lin Shu had spoken his mind, but he did not want to lose Lin Shu.

He instinctively reached out and grabbed her, his face showing unconcealed pain. "I...I...it all happened so suddenly, I just can't accept it right now. Please give me another chance, let me prove my love for you, let me prove that I can cross that chasm."

Lin Shu shook his head, his previous composure returning to his face. "Lu Shiyuan, stop deceiving yourself and face reality."

Seeing her father's most foolish appearance, Lu Zijing was so anxious that she jumped up and down.

If Father cannot stop Mother from leaving, then he will truly lose his motherly essence.

He quickly grabbed Lin Shu, "Mother, please give Father another chance. I really don't want you two to be separated."

Seeing Lu Zijing's eyes red from crying because of her anxiety, Lin Shu felt a sharp pain in his heart.

However, this matter is easy to resolve but difficult to resolve. Rather than causing pain for both of them later, it is better to cut the Gordian knot now.

This is better for both of us.

She knelt down and gently stroked Lu Zijing's head. "Ajin, be good. Mother is only leaving temporarily. Once things are settled, Mother will definitely come back to see you."

After speaking, Lin Shu stood up again, looking at Lu Shiyuan with a firm gaze.

"General Lu, please remember our agreement. I will come back to retrieve the divorce papers once they are ready."

Lu Shiyuan wanted to say something more, but Lin Shu had already turned around and resolutely walked out of the room.

He stood there, watching Lin Shu's figure gradually disappear into the distance, his heart aching so much he could hardly breathe.

He regretted it; he shouldn't have let Qinghe test Lin Shu for him.

Qinghe was overjoyed upon seeing this.

If Lin Shu leaves, then she won't have a chance anymore.

"General, Madam, she..."

"Stop talking," Lu Shiyuan said wearily.

“I’m telling you, General, Lin Shu doesn’t love you at all. If she liked you, how could she remain calm when she saw you lying with me? Unless she doesn’t like you at all, only dislike can allow her to be indifferent and calm…”

"You're talking nonsense. My mother loves my father, and it's all because of you, you wicked woman," Lu Zijing said tearfully as she saw Lin Shu off. As soon as she turned around, she heard Qinghe slandering Lin Shu, and she immediately pounced on him to hit him.

But Lu Shiyuan pulled him into his arms and said, "Alright, stop fooling around."

"Ah Jin, it's your father's fault. He couldn't keep your mother."

"Father, Mother is so good, I can't bear to part with her," Lu Zijing threw herself into Lu Shiyuan's arms and cried her heart out.

He was no different.

After being rejected by Lu Shiyuan time and time again, Qinghe finally couldn't keep up the act and completely exploded.

"General, can you look at me? I'm the one who likes you. What's so great about Lin Shu?"

"The person she loves isn't you at all, but the emperor of Jiang..."

Qinghe's words were like a thunderbolt, shattering Lu Shiyuan into pieces.

He suddenly looked up at Qinghe, his voice low and dangerous, "What did you say?"

Qinghe was so intimidated by Lu Shiyuan's gaze that she took a step back, but she quickly regained her composure.

Seeing that Lu Shiyuan was unaware of Lin Shu's situation, she wondered if she still had a chance. She quickly explained, "General, Lin Shu doesn't love you, but Emperor Li Che of Jiang Kingdom. She and Li Che have long been in love in Jiang Kingdom. This time, she is leaving to go back to Jiang Kingdom."

"General, the one who truly loves you is me, I..."

Lu Shiyuan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the turmoil in his heart.

Lin Shu has someone he likes; how could he not know that?

"That's enough, Qinghe. Whether Lin Shu likes me or not, she is my wife."

"She and I are only widowed, not divorced, and my general's mansion will always only have Lin Shu as the general's wife."

Upon hearing this, Qinghe's face turned pale instantly. She was unwilling, she was truly unwilling.

After so many years of companionship and waiting, can't you even get a second glance from Lu Shiyuan?

"General, how can you be so heartless..."
