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

Qian Lifeng's shout made Lin Shu and the others turn around instinctively.

Several constables dressed in official uniforms were seen striding closer.

Lin Shu narrowed her eyes slightly and turned her gaze to Qian Lifeng, who looked back at her with a smug expression.

"Lin Shu, you have committed murder, and you must pay with your life."

Upon hearing this, Lu Junheng's heart tightened.

Qian Lifeng wondered how he knew his mother had killed someone, and he looked nervously at Lin Shu.

Lu Zijing, looking tense, stood in front of her holding the tiger cub; he wanted to protect his mother.

Lin Shu calmly swept his gaze over the approaching constables and asked in a low voice, "Qian Lifeng, you keep accusing me of murder, so where is your evidence?"

Although Lin Shu's voice was not loud, it carried clearly throughout the surrounding area, causing the constables who came to arrest her to slow down.

Qian Lifeng sneered and pointed at Lu Junheng and Lu Zijin standing next to Lin Shu.

“Your two sons are the best evidence. You tried to sell them to human traffickers, but instead, they tricked and knocked you unconscious, and sold you to human traffickers instead.”

"After you woke up, you cruelly murdered them, am I right?"

That was indeed the case, but Lin Shu knew that no one had witnessed it firsthand, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long to find them.

This must be speculation from the people behind Qian Lifeng.

She gave a cold laugh. "Really? So you're saying you saw me kill someone with your own eyes?"

At this point, Qian Zhengfeng felt a sudden pang of guilt for no apparent reason.

If he really witnessed Lin Shu committing murder, would Lin Shu still let him go?

These were all things that Wang Ermazi and Chen Biao told him.

But to increase the credibility of his words, he straightened his back and said with feigned strength, "Of course."

Lin Shu glanced at Qian Lifeng's foolish appearance, thinking that this was probably the kind of person who was foolish without realizing it.

They couldn't even hear such an obvious trap.

Lin Shu turned her gaze to the officers who had approached her. "Gentlemen, do you think this argument is reasonable?"

"I can't even beat two small children, so how could I possibly kill two adult and ferocious human traffickers?"

Lu Junheng quickly chimed in, "Yes, gentlemen, my mother treated us extremely well. How could she possibly bear to sell us to a slave trader?"

The officials looked at each other, clearly doubting Qian Lifeng's explanation.

The head constable, surnamed Lü, was an experienced veteran constable. He squinted and looked Lin Shu up and down.

After looking at Lu Junheng and Lu Zijin again, he was certain that Lu Junheng was not lying.

"Qian Lifeng, since you claim to have witnessed it with your own eyes, what exactly were the details at the time? Describe them in detail, and why did you only come to report it today?" The voice was deep and powerful, revealing an undeniable authority.

Qian Lifeng's expression changed slightly. He had not expected the officer to be so perceptive, and for a moment he was speechless and unable to answer.

He stammered, "I...I was so scared that I ran away, and only later did I dare to report it to the police."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu's lips curled into a cold smile as he pressed on, "Since you ran away back then, how can you be sure that I killed someone? Do you perhaps possess the ability to foresee the future?"

Qian Lifeng was speechless after hearing these words and could only glare angrily at Lin Shu.

At this moment, Lu Zijing suddenly interjected. Although his voice was young, his tone was unusually firm: "Sir, my mother is a kind person. She not only taught us to read and write, but also taught us the principles of being a good person. She would never kill anyone, much less sell us to human traffickers."

"Everyone in the village has witnessed this. On the contrary, this Uncle Qian is idle all day long, and a few days ago he was caught abducting a woman."

“Because of this incident, yesterday Grandpa Qian even brought people to try to drive us out of Qijia Village. Therefore, I firmly believe that someone is trying to frame my mother.”

After listening to Lu Zijing's words, Lin Shu silently cast an approving glance at Lu Junheng.

He truly lives up to his villainous reputation; he's got the mind under control perfectly.

Looking into Lu Zijing's innocent eyes, Officer Lü felt a surge of emotion.

He turned to look at Qian Lifeng, his gaze filled with scrutiny and suspicion. "Qian Lifeng, what else do you have to say?"

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to him, Qian Lifeng, under the stern gaze of Constable Lü, finally couldn't help but confess the identities of Chen Biao and Wang Ermazi.

“Sir, I did not witness Lin Shu’s murder myself, but rather… I was told by two other people, one named Chen Biao and the other named Wang Ermazi.”

Upon hearing this, Officer Lü frowned deeply.

He realized that the case was far more complex than it appeared.

He waved his hand, signaling his men to take Qian Lifeng and Lin Shu back to the yamen first, and then conduct a more in-depth investigation.

"Take him back to the yamen and interrogate him thoroughly!" Officer Lü ordered.

Lin Shu did not resist, knowing full well that forcibly resisting at this moment would only bring greater danger to the Lu family.

On the contrary, Qian Lifeng shook his head repeatedly, looking unwilling, when he saw that Constable Lü was about to take him away.

"Sir, could you please withdraw the report? I won't file it anymore," he said, wanting only the reward money and not wanting to be arrested.

However, Officer Lü left him no room to back down, saying, "It's too late to retreat now. Take him away."

Witnessing Lin Shu being escorted away, Lu Junheng rushed out of the Lu family courtyard in a panic and went straight to Uncle Liu's residence, begging him to take him to the town.

In his heart, the only person who could save Lin Shu at this moment was Jiang Mubai, whom he had never liked.

Lu Junheng rushed into Uncle Liu's house, panting heavily, and shouted anxiously, "Uncle Liu, hurry! Take me to the town, I need to find Jiang Mubai."

Although Uncle Liu was unaware of the situation, he always tried his best to fulfill Lu Junheng's requests, after all, he and his mother had taken good care of him during this period.

He quickly prepared the oxcart and sped off towards the town with Lu Junheng in it.

Renyi Hall is as famous as Heshan Hall in the town, and it is not difficult to find. You can find out its location by asking around.

Uncle Liu drove the oxcart, carrying Lu Junheng, straight to Renyi Hall.

Upon arriving at Renyi Hall, Lu Junheng couldn't wait to jump off the carriage and rush into the hall.

He happened to run into the servant who had visited his home that day. The servant remembered the food at his home vividly and his face lit up with surprise when he saw him. "Young Master Lu, are you here to see our master?"

Hearing the servant's voice, Lu Junheng seemed to see a glimmer of hope and pleaded urgently, "I want to see Jiang Mubai, please take me to see him!"

Seeing his anxiety, the servant dared not delay and quickly led him to the backyard.

Upon entering the backyard, Lu Junheng immediately spotted Jiang Mubai, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a handsome face and a somewhat cynical look in his eyes.

Upon seeing Lu Junheng, Jiang Mubai failed to notice his anxiety and instead jokingly asked, "Oh, isn't this the young master of the Lu family? What brings you here to see me?"

Lu Junheng had no interest in small talk and asked bluntly, "My mother has been arrested by the authorities. Can you save her?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mubai frowned, his expression instantly turning serious. "What did you say? How could Doctor Lin have been arrested?"

His signboard had barely been put up when he was arrested. Isn't this just deliberately making things difficult for him?

Lu Junheng quickly and concisely summarized the entire incident.

After hearing this, Jiang Mubai's face instantly turned gloomy. "Hmph, it must be those people from the Heshantang who are up to something. I'm going to go and meet them."
