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

Lin Shu and Jiang Mubai subconsciously looked towards the door, wondering when Lu Zijing had appeared there.

And the term he used wasn't to refer to anyone else, but to the man lying unconscious in front of them.

Lin Shu's expression tensed instantly, and she looked nervously at Lu Zijing.

Just then, Lu Zijing also rushed into the house.

Lin Shu reacted quickly, grabbing Lu Zijing before she could even touch the man, and asked urgently, "Ajin, do you know him?"

Lu Zijing's expression tightened, and she looked at Lin Shu with a guilty look in her eyes. "I...I don't know him."

Lin Shu saw through his thoughts at a glance. She gently pulled Lu Zijing into her arms and said to Jiang Mubai, "Master Jiang has something to attend to, you can go and deal with it first."

Jiang Mubai glanced at Lu Zijing and understood what the two meant.

He also understood Lin Shu's unspoken meaning in dismissing him, and said, "Okay, call me if you need anything."

After Jiang Mubai left, Lu Zijing immediately tugged at Lin Shu's hand.

Lin Shu lowered his head, and Lu Zijing leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Mother, he is Father's deputy general, Uncle Ye Xiang."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu turned his gaze in surprise to the sleeping Ye Xiang.

She was familiar with the name Ye Xiang.

The book records his loyalty to Lu Shiyuan, calling him Lu Shiyuan's strongest support, who never abandoned him no matter what happened.

She hadn't expected to run into him here, and a question arose in her mind: Why was he here? Was someone deliberately using him to lure out Lu Shiyuan, or did he manage to escape on his own?

Just as Lin Shu was deep in thought, Ye Xiang gradually awoke from his slumber.

Upon seeing this, Lu Zijing immediately broke free from Lin Shu's hand and ran quickly to Ye Xiang's side, "Uncle Ye!"

Ye Xiang slowly opened his eyes, his vision still a little blurry, but upon hearing Lu Zijing's voice, his eyes immediately regained some sparkle.

He looked at him, his voice hoarse yet unusually gentle, "You...you are Zijing?"

Lu Zijing held his hand tightly, her eyes slightly red. "Yes, it is me, Uncle Ye. Are you here to see Father?"

Ye Xiang's gaze, which had been somewhat dazed, turned ferocious after hearing Lu Zijing's words.

It's like being controlled by something, becoming unable to control oneself.

He angrily shoved Lu Zijing aside and roared, "Get out of my way! You won't get any news about the general from me!"

Seeing that Ye Xiang was about to lose control, Lin Shu quickly caught Lu Zijin and decisively knocked Ye Xiang unconscious.

Lu Zijing witnessed Lin Shu attacking Ye Xiang and instinctively wanted to protect Ye Xiang.

"Mother, don't hurt Uncle Ye!" he cried anxiously.

Lin Shu looked at him, and Lu Zijin, afraid that Lin Shu would misunderstand, quickly explained, "Uncle Ye is not a bad person. We were able to escape back then because Uncle Ye risked his life to protect us."

Hearing this, Lin Shu understood his worries and knew that he was afraid that he would misunderstand Ye Xiang.

She reached out and gently patted his head. "I know, I didn't intend to hurt him. I only subdued him because he was losing control of his emotions."

Lu Zijing nodded upon hearing this, but her eyes still held a hint of hesitation and struggle as she looked at Lin Shu.

Although there were many things he didn't understand, he knew they would bring danger to his mother, but Uncle Ye was their savior.

so he……

Lu Zijing finally couldn't hold back and looked up at Lin Shu, "Mother, can we take Uncle Ye home?"

Lin Shu looked into Lu Zijing's pleading eyes and his heart softened.

She understood that, for this child, Ye Xiang was not only Lu Shiyuan's deputy general, but also a family member who risked their lives to protect them in the face of life and death.

Although she didn't want to cause trouble, some troubles were destined to be unavoidable.

Besides, this is the benefactor who saved Lu Shiyuan and the others; how could she sit idly by and do nothing?

"Okay, once he wakes up and we're sure he won't hurt anyone, we'll take him back."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zijing's eyes lit up immediately: "Thank you, Mother! I knew you were the best!"

Lin Shu smiled slightly, reached out and ruffled Lu Zijing's hair again, then turned to look at Ye Xiang, who had been temporarily subdued by her.

She secretly pondered that given Ye Xiang's current situation, his appearance here was no accident; someone behind him must be watching them from the shadows.

But she couldn't just ignore it. The only thing she could do now was to heal Ye Xiang and free him from her control so that they could better prevent danger.

She took out a medicine box from her spatial storage and got up to go to Ye Xiang's side.

She pretended to take out the spiritual spring from the medicine box, not very confident, but hoping that the spiritual spring could temporarily control the poison in his body.

Lin Shu picked up the spiritual spring water and fed it to Ye Xiang, while simultaneously stimulating his acupoints with silver needles.

When Ye Xiang opened his eyes again, the rage and struggle had greatly diminished, replaced by confusion and bewilderment.

He slowly looked around, and finally his gaze settled on Lin Shu and Lu Zijing. When he saw Lu Zijing, his eyes first showed confusion and then lit up.

However, Lu Zijing quickly stepped forward and grabbed him tightly.

"Uncle Ye, I really am Zijing."

Ye Xiang stared at Lu Zijing, but dared not believe it easily. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Where...where am I?"

Lin Shu understood his wariness; after all, he had been manipulated for a long time, so it was inevitable that he would have doubts.

So she explained, "Don't worry, it's very safe here. I am Lin Shu, Lu Zijing's mother, and Lu Shiyuan's wife."

Upon hearing her words, Ye Xiang suddenly felt a sharp pain in his mind, but he endured it without showing it.

Seeing this, Lin Shu quickly used silver needles to help him calm down, and then fed him the remaining spiritual spring water.

After drinking the spiritual spring water, Ye Xiang's excited emotions gradually calmed down, and his eyes became clearer than before.

However, he remained silent and did not utter a word.

Lin Shu carefully removed the silver needles from his body and asked softly, "How are you feeling now?"

“Much better,” Ye Xiang finally spoke, but his gaze remained fixed on Lu Zijing.

Lu Zijing's voice was choked with sobs, and he was almost crying. "Uncle Ye, it's me, Zijing. Do you still remember me? When I was little, you taught me swordsmanship and told me that a real man should serve the court when he grows up."

Ye Xiang's gaze slowly moved across Lu Zijing's face, trying hard to recall Lu Zijing's words.

Those memories buried by time are quietly awakened at this moment.

His lips trembled slightly as he finally believed the truth before him. "I remember...you...are really Zijing."

These three words were like raindrops nourishing parched land, causing Lu Zijing to involuntarily burst into tears that she had been holding back for so long.

"It's me, it's Zijing. Uncle Ye, I thought you were dead. I didn't expect you to still be alive..."

As Lin Shu heard him talking more and more outrageously, she quickly reached out and covered his mouth, saying, "Uncle Ye just woke up and can't take any more shocks."
