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

Lin Shu remained calm, his gaze sweeping over the menacing group before him with composure, showing no sign of panic.

She gently patted the nervous Lu Junheng beside her to comfort him.

He then calmly looked at Ren Bilian and said, "Ren Bilian, you say I'm slandering you, then please tell me, was it I who carried Qian Lifeng to your bed?"

"Or did I hold a knife to your throat and force you to sleep with Qian Lifeng?"

"You're the one who cheated on your husband, yet you have the nerve to blame others. I'm truly ashamed of you."

Upon hearing this, Ren Bilian's face turned pale and then red.

She never expected Lin Shu to so bluntly expose her shameful secrets to the public. In front of everyone, the veil covering her body was ripped off by Lin Shu.

Anger and shame intertwined, almost driving her to madness.

"You! You bitch, stop talking nonsense! You're the one who framed me!" Ren Bilian screamed, trying to cover up her guilty conscience with a louder voice.

Lin Shu shook his head slightly, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Design? Ren Bilian, do you want to swear on your conscience?"

"Did your affair with Qian Lifeng only begin that day? How many people in the village have been watching you two exchanging glances all the time? They just didn't want to expose you because of our shared village ties. Do you really think everyone is blind?"

The group of people from Renjia Village who came to help all looked at Ren Bilian.

Ren Bilian felt guilty under their gazes, but with the die already cast, she was determined to teach Lin Shu a lesson today.

"Nonsense! It's clearly you who are jealous of my son's talent as the top scholar and think your son is useless, so you want to use me to ruin my son."

Mentioning this, Lin Shu was filled with anger. "Speaking of your son, I happen to have a score to settle with you. You shouldn't have forgotten how your son got into Qingsong Academy!"

Seeing that the truth was about to be exposed, Ren Bihua quickly spoke up to help.

“Villagers, don’t listen to her nonsense. My sister is right. They’re just jealous of my nephew. Everyone, attack him together. You’ve helped his mother today, and he will thank you properly in the future.”

Those who had initially suspected Ren Bilian's motives, after hearing what the siblings said, all rubbed their hands together and rushed towards Lin Shu, eager to fight.

"Fellow villagers, for the future of our village, let's beat her to death together..."

Before they arrived, they had already discussed how to teach Lin Shu a lesson.

Because of the loss they suffered last time, they deliberately brought so many people this time.

Seeing so many people rushing over, Lu Junheng instinctively stepped in front of Lin Shu in a moment of panic.

He couldn't let his mother's identity be exposed. He wouldn't die from a beating, but if his mother's identity was exposed, he would be truly finished.

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Lin Shu's face, covered in red spots, visibly became excited, and even his eyes shone with excitement.

She pulled him behind her, saying, "Don't block my way."

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards the people of Renjia Village.

Lu Junheng stood speechlessly to the side, watching Lin Shu rush past.

How could Mother not understand his good intentions?

After dealing with the villagers who rushed towards her, Lin Shu went straight to Ren Bilian and her brother.

She hadn't fought in a long time, and her hands were itching to get back into it.

Ren Bilian, seeing Lin Shu rushing towards her, fearfully pushed her brother out.

However, Lin Shu had no intention of letting either of them, the brother and sister, go.

"Ren Bilian, it seems you really haven't learned your lesson. Since that's the case, I might as well teach you how to be a proper person today."

After saying that, he kicked the brother and sister and then punched them repeatedly.

Those who originally wanted to return and continue fighting Lin Shu backed down after witnessing Lin Shu's ferocity.

At the same time, Liu Bo, who had taken the opportunity to escape, rushed over with the village head and a group of people.

As he ran, Uncle Liu gasped for breath, shouting, "Madam Lu, we're here to save you!"

The village head followed closely behind, his face ashen, clearly extremely dissatisfied with Ren Bilian's behavior.

The villagers, who had just gotten up from the ground, all turned to look at Uncle Liu.

Who to save?

Who hit whom?!

Lin Shu stopped what he was doing, stood still, dusted himself off, and looked coldly at Ren Bilian and her brother, a disdainful smile on his lips.

Ren Bilian and her brother lay sprawled on the ground, their eyes filled with terror and resentment as they looked at Lin Shu.

"Lord Village Head, you've come at the right time! That bitch Lin Shu hit us, you must stand up for us!" Ren Bilian spoke first, trying to distort the truth and shift the blame to Lin Shu.

Lin Shu snorted coldly, stood up and went to the front of the village. "Uncle Feng, Ren Bilian said that I plotted against her and Qian Lifeng, so she brought people from Renjia Village to seek revenge on me."

Upon hearing this, the village head frowned, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the crowd, clearly displeased with their actions.

At this moment, Qi Tianshun, who was in the crowd, spoke up with great dissatisfaction.

"Ren Bilian and Qian Lifeng's affair is obvious to everyone. What does it have to do with the Lu family's wife? How can you slander others like this?"

"That's right. Speaking of this, you've repeatedly broken in and framed Madam Lu. First you said she stole fish, and this time you said she plotted against you two for having an affair. Did she hold a knife to your shoulder and make you let Qian Lifeng into the house?"

……

The villagers' words came like a tidal wave, leaving Ren Bilian utterly ashamed.

She hadn't expected things to turn out this way. "No, that's not how it happened. She's the one who knocked us out."

After the villagers' accusations, the people of Renjia Village no longer believe her.

Seeing her shake her head, everyone thought, "This person is hopeless."

If it weren't for her son's sake, they would have strangled her on the spot.

After listening to the villagers' discussion, the village head's expression grew even stern. He turned to Ren Bilian and her brother and said in a deep voice, "Ren Bilian, you should have been drowned in a pig cage, but we'll let you off the hook for the sake of your son."

"I never expected you to be so shameless and arrogant. You have not only ruined your own reputation but also tarnished the reputation of Qijia Village."

"From now on, Qijia Village will no longer welcome you, and you must never set foot in Qijia Village again, or you will be beaten to death with sticks."

Ren Bilian's face was deathly pale, and her body trembled slightly. She had never imagined that she would end up in such a state.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd said, "Ren Bilian, how can you be so shameless? How will your son face the world in the future? He's going to be the top scholar in the imperial examination!"

"No, no, it was all that bitch Lin Shu who framed me," Ren Bilian said, instantly losing everyone as the truth came to light.

Her son was her Achilles' heel; how could she tolerate tarnishing his reputation?

She staggered to her feet, her eyes filled with piercing hatred. "You just wait. Once my son becomes the top scholar in the imperial examination, I will make you pay for this debt one by one."

After saying that, he ran away from the scene without looking back.
