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

"Then let's sign the contract immediately, Miss Lin, what do you think?"

"Okay," Lin Shu replied, satisfied with the answer.

The chefs at Shiweitian, who were initially tense and on high alert, became even more nervous after hearing Lin Shu's words, instead of relaxing.

Lin Shu wanted to personally teach them how to cook.

For them, this was like a windfall.

Everyone started to get excited, and some even wanted to get on Lu Junheng's good side.

Unexpectedly, Lu Junheng was called away by Lin Shu first.

The reason is simple: she doesn't recognize the characters used in this era and needs someone to write them for her.

"Aheng, can you sign this for your mother?"

Lu Junheng glanced at Lin Shu. His mother couldn't even write. He had always thought Lin Shu was very learned.

After signing the contract with Shao Xinghe, Lin Shu immediately selected several chefs from Shiweitian.

Teach them how to cook jade tofu, spicy crab roe soup dumplings, honey-glazed roast duck, and grilled fish.

By the time the two left Shiweitian Restaurant, it was already late afternoon, and the sun was gradually setting in the west.

A gentle breeze was blowing, bringing a touch of coolness.

When the two arrived at the entrance of the town, they saw Uncle Liu waiting for them there.

Looking at Liu Bo's slightly hunched figure, Lin Shu took out the spicy crab roe soup dumplings he had just made at Shiweitian from his bag and handed them to him.

"Uncle Liu, we've been waiting for you and we're getting hungry. Let's eat something to fill our stomachs."

Uncle Liu looked at the steamed bun she handed him; its exquisite appearance made him hesitant to reach for it.

This is too valuable.

“Lu family daughter-in-law, this is what you bought with your own money, how can you bear to let me eat it?”

Lin Shuqiang stuffed it into his hand, "Uncle Liu, you can eat this. I didn't buy it; it was a gift from the owner of Shiweitian."

She took four steamed buns from the restaurant, gave one to Lu Junheng, and gave the remaining three to Uncle Liu, who had been waiting for them for so long on an empty stomach.

As for the other two, they can be given to Lu Zijin and the others.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Liu Bo's eyes.

Filled with gratitude, she carefully put the bun into her bosom.

He couldn't bear to eat such precious buns; he'd take them home later and share them with everyone.

The mother and son boarded the oxcart, which swayed and rattled as it headed toward Qijia Village.

The oxcart had barely left when it was intercepted.

Lin Shu looked closely and saw that the person who came was none other than Jiang Mubai from Renyi Hall.

He rode his horse straight to the oxcart, and quickly pulled on the reins in front of Dr. Lin. "Dr. Lin, I've finally found you."

Lin Shu frowned. "Is something the matter?"

"I need your help urgently, could you please ask Doctor Lin for assistance?" Jiang Mubai asked hurriedly, his eyes filled with barely concealed urgency.

Before Lin Shu could even refuse, Jiang Mubai continued, "Dr. Lin, this is a matter of life and death, please."

He wouldn't have dared to take such a big risk if he had a choice.

Lin Shu is the kind of person who responds best to gentle persuasion but not to force.

If Jiang Mubai had been more assertive at that moment, perhaps she would have been able to refuse him without question.

But his humble attitude made it impossible for Lin Shu to refuse.

Especially since they had helped her before.

Lin Shu said helplessly, "I can go with you, but I can't guarantee whether I can cure it or not."

“I know, I will be grateful no matter what the outcome,” Jiang Mubai said, relieved to see Lin Shu let go.

He didn't know if his choice was right, but the other party was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

If things go wrong, the whole family could be wiped out.

He was also risking his life, tying his head to his waist, and taking a gamble.

The three, who had just left the town, followed Jiang Mubai back to the town once again.

Along the way, Jiang Mubai told Lin Shu about the patient's condition: "The person who came was the young master of the Duke's mansion. He suddenly felt unwell in his abdomen when he passed through this place, so he came to Renyi Hall."

"Dr. Sun gave him a lot of medicine, but it was still to no avail. I thought of Mr. Li's symptoms before, which were somewhat similar to this, so I came to see you."

Abdominal discomfort?

Could these symptoms be the same as Mr. Li's?

Back in the town, Jiang Mubai took the three of them back to Renyi Hall.

After instructing the servants to make sure Lu Junheng and Uncle Liu were settled in properly, he led her to the backyard.

Before anyone even stepped into the backyard, they could hear painful groans coming from afar.

Lin Shu entered the room under Jiang Mubai's guidance.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a person lying on the bed, curled up in pain.

His face was as pale as paper, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his hands gripped the bed sheet tightly as if he wanted to tear it apart.

The groans came and went, revealing endless pain and despair.

As Lin Shu approached, he was stopped by Qin Zixuan's guards. "Who goes there?"

Jiang Mubai quickly explained, "This is Doctor Lin, whom I invited. She can cure Young Master Qin's illness."

The man's gaze swept over Lin Shu, scrutinizing her. This young, ugly woman could cure diseases.

He didn't believe it. "What a joke! My young master is of such noble status that not just anyone can treat him."

Seeing that the situation was already extremely urgent, this person was still putting on airs, and Jiang Mubai was getting anxious for him.

"Sir, you have already consulted all the pharmacies, but they were all helpless."

"Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to ask Doctor Lin to give it a try. Otherwise, do you really want to watch the young master die here?" He didn't want to be buried with him.

"You...you dare to curse my master! I'll kill you!" The guard, enraged, drew his sword and pointed it at Jiang Mubai.

"Fine, you can kill them first. They're going to die sooner or later anyway," Lin Shu said, not going to put up with him. He turned and left.

She wouldn't have come if she didn't owe Jiang Mubai a favor.

Seeing that Lin Shu was about to leave in anger, Jiang Mubai couldn't help but say, "My lord, if we're talking about the only person who can cure the young master right now, it's probably Doctor Lin."

"If you continue like this, there will truly be no way to save the young master."

“Nonsense! I don’t believe this town has no capable people at all,” the guard retorted.

Jiang Mubai was almost driven to his death by him. He had gone to great lengths to invite this person, only to have him driven away by this damned bastard.

He wasted his favor for nothing.

Just as Jiang Mubai was at a loss, Qin Zixuan's painful and hoarse voice came from the bed behind him, "Qin Feng, let her come over."

"Yes," Qin Feng said, a hint of struggle flashing in his eyes, but he ultimately obeyed the order.

But Lin Shu had no intention of treating him. Despite Jiang Mubai's attempts to stop her, she insisted on leaving.

"Dr. Lin, please, just for the sake of the help I gave you before," Jiang Mubai went straight for the kill.

Lin Shu glanced at him, then turned and walked towards the bedside.

She reached out and grabbed Qin Zixuan's wrist, then examined his complexion and tongue.

He then said to Qin Zixuan, "Young Master Qin, could you lie flat? I'd like to check the condition of your abdomen."

Qin Zixuan nodded and, with Qin Feng's help, struggled to lie down on the bed to sleep.

Lin Shu asked Qin Feng to undress him and then pressed on his abdomen.

She then pulled his clothes up and asked softly, "Have you been drinking a lot lately?"

Qin Zixuan looked at Lin Shu and nodded.

She suddenly disappeared, and he searched the world but could not find her anywhere.

Therefore, he sought solace in alcohol.

Lin Shu sighed, stood up and looked at Jiang Mubai behind him, "He got drunk and his stomach became weak, which caused a perforated stomach."

"What should we do?" Jiang Mubai never expected that one day his Renyi Hall would be so unlucky as to have such a mess to deal with.

Lin Shu glanced at Lu Zixuan and said, "Surgery is needed. We'll cut open his abdomen and repair the perforation."
