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

Upon hearing Lin Shu's words, Lu Junheng's mind immediately opened up, and the furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

He looked at Lin Shu, his eyes revealing his admiration for her. "Thank you for reminding me, Mother. I have learned my lesson."

Lin Shu smiled faintly at this.

Then he said earnestly, "Aheng, although there are many things you don't want to tell me, I know them all."

“I know your enemies and I know your situation, so I will protect you until your father wakes up.”

Lin Shu's words startled Lu Junheng.

Coming to his senses, his eyes welled up with tears, and his voice choked with emotion, "Mother, thank you, and I'm sorry, I didn't mean to keep it from you..."

“I understand, so I don’t blame you. I’m telling you this today in the hope that we, mother and son, can be honest with each other and have no barriers between us in the future,” Lin Shu interrupted him, not wanting to put him in a difficult position.

Lu Junheng nodded with tears in his eyes, "From now on, I will unconditionally believe in Mother."

Lin Shu smiled and replied, "Okay, let's go home so they won't worry."

When the two returned to Qijia Village, they saw a horse-drawn carriage parked in front of their house in the distance.

The two felt a sudden tightness in their hearts and involuntarily quickened their pace, hurrying towards the Lu family's courtyard.

As soon as they entered, they saw Jiang Mubai waiting in the courtyard, making Ji Shi and Lu Zijin beam with joy.

"Master Jiang, what are you doing here?" Lin Shu asked in surprise.

Jiang Mubai turned around upon hearing the sound, about to speak, when he saw a small figure running towards Lin Shu, excitedly shouting, "Mom, Uncle Jiang said he's here to thank you!"

His words undoubtedly earned him a heavy glare from Lu Junheng.

This idiot, he got sold out and still expects to pay the price.

Jiang Mubai spoke up at the opportune moment, "I came here not only to thank Dr. Lin, but also to give him a consultation fee. Dr. Lin, have you forgotten?"

After learning Jiang Mubai's purpose, Lin Shu finally felt relieved. "Of course I remember, but I didn't expect you to come to my house."

Mentioning this, Jiang Mubai couldn't help but joke, "Dr. Lin, didn't you tell me to come to Qijia Village to find you if I need anything?"

Lin Shu was speechless after hearing his words and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

She did say those words, but only regarding the illness of that young master Qin.

However, she didn't say it out loud. The person was already home; could she possibly kick them out?

When Lu Junheng saw Jiang Mubai, his wariness towards him only increased.

He had been planning to send his mother to his clinic for a while, but it seems he still hasn't given up.

"Uncle Jiang, since you've come to deliver the medical fee, and it's already late, we won't keep you for a meal."

Lu Junheng's words immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.

Jiang Mubai glanced at him with a mocking look, wondering where this kid's hostility towards him came from.

If he were truly the kind of person who compromises so easily, how could he be Jiang Mubai?

He said without any hesitation, "It's not late. I think the timing is just right. There's still enough time for a meal."

So thick-skinned.

Lu Junheng secretly grumbled to himself, but there was nothing he could do.

He looked at Lin Shu, hoping his mother would refuse, but Lin Shu didn't seem to have that intention.

Instead, he smiled and said to Jiang Mubai, "Since Master Jiang doesn't mind, then stay and have a simple meal together."

“Not at all, not at all. Dr. Lin’s cooking is top-notch,” Jiang Mubai ignored the disdain on Lu Junheng’s face and turned to sit down as if they were old friends.

After exchanging a few brief words with Jiang Mubai, Lin Shu got up and went into the bridal chamber.

She happened to have something to ask Jiang Mubai about regarding Qingsong Academy.

Lin Shu used what was available, taking out ingredients from his spatial storage to cook some simple home-style meals.

After finishing cooking, she called out to Lu Junheng, "Aheng, dinner is ready."

“Okay,” Lu Junheng quickly got up and went to the burlap sty to help serve the dishes.

Seeing this, Jiang Mubai wanted to lend a hand, but Lin Shu declined, saying, "Master Jiang, you are a guest. There is no reason for a guest to help you. Just sit down and eat."

"Invite your servant outside as well, let's have a simple meal together."

“Okay,” Jiang Mubai replied quite generously.

Just as everyone was having their meal, a commotion suddenly broke out at the door.

Upon hearing this, Lu Junheng involuntarily looked at Lin Shu.

Lin Shu frowned slightly, pondering to himself, "I just resolved Ren Bilian's matter today, could it be that she's back again?"

She immediately got up and walked towards the door.

Just as they reached the door, they saw Qian Zheng leading the Qian and Zhao families, each holding a hoe, marching in a grand procession towards the Lu family's courtyard.

When they saw Lin Shu standing in front of the door, Qian Zheng immediately shouted, "Lu family daughter-in-law, what are you doing blocking the door? Is there some shady secret hidden inside?"

Lin Shu looked at him coldly, "Then what does Uncle Qian think it is?"

“Naturally, it’s evidence of your affair! Look, everyone, that carriage is still parked outside!” Qian Zheng said, deliberately pointing to the carriage in front of the door.

Upon hearing this, the villagers began to whisper among themselves and discuss the matter.

Their gazes lingered between the carriage and Lin Shu, an indescribable tension and curiosity filling the air.

Lin Shu sneered inwardly, thinking that Qian Zheng's actions were merely an attempt to save face for Qian Lifeng.

She remained calm and responded indifferently, "Uncle Qian, you are really wronging me. You accuse me of having an affair based on just a carriage, not to mention that my mother-in-law and son are at home."

“This carriage alone is quite eye-catching. I’m not as unscrupulous and shameless as Uncle Qian’s son.”

"You...you dare to make false accusations! My son was framed by you, and now you're using the same old trick to try and divert everyone's attention!"

"Fellow villagers, don't be fooled by her! Such an unfaithful woman will only bring shame to our village if she stays here! Let's all drive her out!" Qian Zheng raised his voice, trying to take the initiative.

Just then, Aunt Qi arrived at the door.

Upon hearing Qian Zheng's words, he immediately started cursing even louder, "Qian Zheng, you shameless old man! It's clearly your son who's useless, yet you have the nerve to come to someone else's house and frame them! How can you be so shameless?"

As soon as Aunt Qi shouted, everyone turned around to look at her.

Immediately afterwards, Uncle Qi arrived with his two sons, each carrying a hoe.

Upon seeing this, Qian Zheng's wife, Qian Shi, immediately started arguing back at Aunt Qi, "You're shameless! We have irrefutable evidence now, and you still dare to shout! Don't you even know what the facts are!"

"You're clearly blind, yet you're blaming others! Do you think everyone is like your son, caught cheating on his wife and getting caught red-handed?"

Aunt Qi was also a very persistent person, and she immediately began to scold him without any mercy.

Qi Tianshun, along with his two sons, stood guard in front of the Lu family's courtyard, sharing Lin Shu's hatred of the enemy.
