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

As soon as Jiang Mubai finished speaking, the already tense atmosphere froze instantly, and even the air became heavy.

Tian Mazi glared angrily at Jiang Mubai, but unexpectedly met the chilling coldness emanating from Jiang Mubai's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, so why should he get involved in the war between the Wo Shan Tong and the Ren Yi Tong?

The two families have been fighting each other for so many years; if he goes there, he will only become a scapegoat.

Furthermore, Jiang Mubai appears gentle and refined on the surface, but in reality, he is quite cunning; otherwise, the master wouldn't have been so hesitant to make a move against him.

Tian Mazi had to suppress his impulse.

Jiang Mubai chuckled, "Tian Mazi, go back and tell your boss that the way of medicine lies in saving lives and healing the wounded, not in fighting and being aggressive."

"Dr. Lin's medical skills are superb, and his act of saving lives is a great act of kindness. If you try to harm him because of your own selfish desires, be careful that it will backfire."

Tian Mazi suffered a double loss this time, not only failing to cause trouble for Lin Shu but also losing an arm.

Filled with resentment and having nowhere to vent it, he could only transfer all his resentment onto Lin Shu.

One day, he will get his money back.

"I will definitely tell my master about what happened today. We'll see."

After saying this, he waved to his men, and the group left the scene looking disheveled.

After Tian Mazi and his group had gone far away, Jiang Mubai turned to face Lin Shu.

Although it wasn't necessary, someone still helped me out.

Lin Shu still needs to maintain proper etiquette.

She looked at Jiang Mubai politely and said calmly, "Thank you for your help, young master."

Jiang Mubai looked at Lin Shu, a warm smile that was completely different from before appearing on his lips. "Dr. Lin, you flatter me. It is our duty to help those in need."

"Furthermore, there has always been a lot of conflict between Renyitang and Heshantang. Today's incident was just a convenient way to get out of trouble."

Upon hearing this, Lu Junheng looked at Jiang Mubai with a scrutinizing and wary gaze.

The arrival of the person was too suspicious, as if it had been arranged in advance.

For some reason, he didn't want to get involved with it.

To repay the favor, Lu Junheng took out two steamed buns from the bamboo basket and handed them to Jiang Mubai.

"Thank you for your help, young master. We have no way to repay your kindness. Please do not find this small token of our gratitude offensive."

Jiang Mubai subconsciously looked at Lu Junheng, not expecting the little guy to be so wary.

I thought I could get rid of him with two steamed buns.

However, he didn't stand on ceremony and took it from his hand, taking a small bite as he was willing to try it.

Instantly, the unique aroma of cream slowly unfolds on the tip of the tongue.

It felt like suddenly falling into something sweet, gentle, and delicate.

His eyes lit up, and he picked up another little rabbit and took a bite.

But to my surprise, I discovered a sweet grape aroma emanating from it, making every bite an ultimate temptation for my taste buds.

Jiang Mubai couldn't help but scrutinize Lin Shu again. Despite her simple attire, she couldn't hide her extraordinary and refined temperament.

Even though her face was covered by exaggerated red spots, it couldn't hide the stunning beauty that emanated from her very being.

If it weren't for the erythema, he firmly believed that this person must have been a stunning beauty.

"I didn't expect these steamed buns to be so delicious."

“Of course, these buns cost five coins. Would we dare charge such a high price for ordinary buns?” Lu Junheng looked at him with unfriendly eyes.

Lin Shu glanced at Lu Junheng, knowing what the guy meant; he probably didn't want to get involved with Jiang Mubai.

That's exactly what she thought too.

"Young master, you flatter me. It's just some simple food. It's an honor for it to be served to you," Lin Shu said, then stopped arguing with him and prepared to sell the rest of the buns.

But Jiang Mubai had no intention of letting it go. Just before the group from Heshantang caused trouble, he had observed them from a distance.

Even without him, Tian Mazi wouldn't have gotten away with this today.

But how could he waste the favor he had finally earned from her?

He finished the steamed bun in his hand and looked at Lin Shu with a smile.

"Dr. Lin, those people from Heshantang are not good people. Although they did not succeed today, they may cause trouble in the future."

"You may be fearless, but your family is a cause for concern. Why don't you consider joining forces with me?"

The fox's tail could no longer be hidden.

Lin Shu knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, and she didn't believe that Jiang Mubai would help her for no reason.

"I will take good care of my family, so there's no need for you to worry about it, young master. As for the cooperation you mentioned, what exactly do you mean by that?"

Lin Shu asked directly; she didn't like beating around the bush.

Seeing her so straightforward, Jiang Mubai stopped beating around the bush. "Dr. Lin, you travel around practicing medicine, so it's inevitable that you'll attract attention. Today's incident is a lesson from the past."

“If you don’t mind, Renyi Hall is willing to provide you with a safe haven. I should be able to protect you in this small town.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Junheng immediately became alert.

He said this person had ill intentions, and sure enough, he was right.

He stepped forward, shielding Lin Shu, and politely declined, saying, "We appreciate your kindness, young master, but my mother doesn't need it."

mother?

This surprised Jiang Mubai somewhat, as Lin Shu looked to be only five or six years older than Lu Junheng.

However, he didn't care much and said frankly, "It's alright. I, Jiang Mubai, believe in fate in my actions. It is fate that we met here today."

"If needed in the future, the doors of Renyi Hall will always be ready to welcome you."

After saying this, he lightly dusted off his clothes and leisurely left.

After watching Jiang Mubai leave, Lu Junheng looked nervously at Lin Shu.

"Mom, you..."

“I don’t have that plan for the time being, you’re right to refuse,” Lin Shu replied, and continued selling the remaining buns.

After selling the steamed buns, Lin Shu took Lu Junheng to the cloth shop.

Knowing she wasn't good at sewing, she wisely chose ready-made clothes, selecting two outfits for each person in the family.

After buying the clothes, Lin Shu turned his attention to Lu Junheng's badly worn shoes and asked the shopkeeper to bring him the right size so he could change them for him himself.

Lu Junheng looked a little awkward and declined, saying, "Mother, my shoes and clothes are still wearable."

Lin Shu glanced at him indifferently, "Mother knows what she's doing."

After selecting shoes for Lu Junheng, they then bought shoes for Lu Zijin and Ji Shi, but for the time being, Lu Shiyuan was left out.

After buying clothes and shoes for everyone, Lin Shu led Lu Junheng toward a bookstore.

Lin Shu led Lu Junheng into the antique bookstore, where a faint scent of ink wafted into the air.

The store is filled with a wide variety of books, ranging from classical literature to poetry and prose, and even medicine and agriculture.

The moment Lu Junheng saw the bookstore, he instinctively stopped and grabbed Lin Shu, "Mother, I..."

“You should study,” Lin Shu said firmly.

"But……"

“The family doesn’t need your help,” Lu Junheng said, but Lin Shu interrupted him before he could finish. “Should I help you choose, or will you do it yourself?”

Seeing her resolute attitude, Lu Junheng did not continue to disobey her, saying, "I'll do it myself."

Lin Shu nodded in satisfaction, got up and walked towards the shopkeeper, asking him to help him choose some things as well. He also bought writing implements for Lu Junheng.

As she waited, a conversation coming from outside the store caught her attention.

"Lu Junheng, what are your thoughts on the lessons the teacher has assigned today?"
