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

Lin Shu led Aunt Qi to the town. They first went to Qingsong Academy, but seeing that the academy was still in session, he led Aunt Qi toward the market.

She intentionally took Aunt Qi to buy some spices for making braised dishes.

Since we've decided to teach them how to do business, we can't just talk about it.

Based on Aunt Qi's family situation, Lin Shu felt that they were very suitable for making some braised dishes.

Uncle Qi often goes hunting in the mountains and often brings back pheasants, which would sell very well if made into braised dishes.

Furthermore, since no one in this era has yet discovered how to eat braised food, it is undoubtedly an opportunity for them.

The market was bustling with people.

The stalls were filled with all sorts of goods, from fresh fruits and vegetables to dried goods and seasonings.

Lin Shu led Aunt Qi through the various stalls with practiced ease, asking about prices and carefully selecting spices.

"Aunt Qi, look at this star anise. It's bright in color and has a rich flavor. It would be delicious to use it in cooking."

While explaining things to Aunt Qi, Lin Shu bought some from a vendor.

Aunt Qi listened to her words and immediately remembered the appearance of the star anise.

Seeing that Aunt Qi remembered, Lin Shu then led Aunt Qi to buy some essential spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and Sichuan peppercorns.

After buying the spices, Lin Shu saw that it was almost time.

He rushed to Qingsong Academy to pick up Lu Junheng.

She arrived in such a hurry that Lu Junheng was unaware of her arrival, so he had to rush to pick her up when she came down from the hall.

Class A of Qingsong Academy.

Ever since Lu Junheng arrived, Zhao Xinyuan has become suspicious and paranoid.

He was terrified that Lu Junheng would expose him to the teachers that day.

Although he spoke with conviction and had villagers as witnesses, the villagers had no idea that he had entered Qingsong Academy under the name of Lu Junheng.

In the eyes of the villagers, he had always been the future top scholar, and if they knew this, they would definitely ridicule him.

He also couldn't accept the fact that he had fallen from grace.

On this day, Feng Yasong brought an article written by Lu Junheng to the school and happily shared it with everyone.

Feng Yasong felt like she had struck gold with Lu Junheng.

If he was only allowed to admit Lu Junheng into Class A because the dean asked him to, then after witnessing Lu Junheng's intelligence and talent...

He didn't think so. He believed that meeting a student like Lu Junheng was the greatest fortune of his life.

He even wanted to take Lu Junheng as his disciple.

But the child was stubborn and always rejected his kindness.

Feng Yasong even thought to himself that he should talk to Doctor Lin about it another day.

He walked into the classroom with the article in his hand. "Classmates," he said, "today I'd like to analyze an article by Lu Junheng. This article offers unique insights..."

Upon hearing Lu Junheng and Wen Zhang, the students instinctively looked at Zhao Xinyuan, who was referring to 'Lu Junheng'.

Zhao Xinyuan also thought it was him, after all, his literary talent was indeed outstanding compared to others.

She puffed out her chest with a smug look on her face, her eyes still fixed on Lu Junheng with a defiant glint in them.

That contemptuous look in his eyes made him want to trample Lu Junheng to the ground.

So what if he entered Qingsong Academy under Lu Junheng's name? Three days later, he was completely different.

Moreover, so many days had passed between him and Lu Junheng, and Lu Junheng was far behind him in terms of scholarship.

The initial shock from Lu Junheng subsided instantly.

After hearing the old master's words, Zhao Xinyuan stood up eagerly. "Thank you for your praise, old master. I will continue to work hard and will not let you down."

When the other students saw him stand up, they all looked at him with envy.

"I didn't expect it to be him again. I heard that he was very talented in writing when he was in Class B. I didn't expect him to be so good in Class A."

"Yes, I thought the other Lu Junheng would be more capable, but it turns out he's all show and no substance, and was actually outshone by this Lu Junheng."

"How can you compare the two of them? They got into Class A based on their real talent and ability, unlike some people who got in through connections and backdoors."

As he listened to the flattery directed at him and the denigration of Lu Junheng, Zhao Xinyuan's smile grew even brighter and more dazzling.

Seeing this, Bai Qi'an pondered and touched his chin, his bright eyes darting back and forth between the two of them.

Could it be that he saw it wrong?

If that's the case, it would be truly disappointing.

Seeing the growing murmurs, Feng Yasong snapped out of his thoughts.

He looked at Zhao Xinyuan, who had stood up, and said somewhat inexplicably, "Lu Junheng, I was talking about Lu Junheng, not you. Why are you thanking me?"

Upon hearing those words, Zhao Xinyuan felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, instantly chilling him to the bone and turning his face deathly pale.

His smug smile froze on his face, and he looked at Feng Yasong with disbelief.

The dramatic turn of events made Bai Qi'an sense something unusual, and he immediately asked, "Does Master mean this Lu Junheng is not that Lu Junheng? Oh my, I knew it!"

Bai Qi'an deliberately dragged out his words, looking at Zhao Xinyuan with a hint of mockery, "Lu Junheng's reputation is not something just anyone can claim. Our Class A is truly full of hidden talents. The new student, Lu Junheng, is also so extraordinary."

Those who had been mocking Lu Junheng earlier suddenly felt incredibly awkward.

The reason they were so indignant was that they couldn't stand that Lu Junheng had been brought in by the Master himself.

Unexpectedly, the other person turned out to be truly talented, and I was thoroughly humiliated.

Those who remained silent glanced back and forth between Lu Junheng and Lu Junheng, their mocking expressions unmistakable.

Zhao Xinyuan's face turned from white to red, then from red to green, extremely embarrassed. He never expected that he would not only be outdone by Lu Junheng, but also make such a big fool of himself.

His fists, hanging by his sides, clenched tightly. Filled with resentment and humiliation, he wished he could skin Lu Junheng alive and tear him apart.

Lu Junheng remained calm, glancing at Zhao Xinyuan with a faint smile playing on his lips.

Can't you handle this? The real show is just beginning.

A hint of approval flashed in Feng Yasong's eyes at Lu Junheng's indifference.

"The way of learning lies in seeking truth and being pragmatic, not in the pursuit of empty fame. Lu Junheng, the talent you have shown today is truly rare. I hope you can persevere in the future and live up to your studies."

Upon hearing this, Lu Junheng bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Master. I will always remember them."

As Lu Junheng passed by Zhao Xinyuan after the ceremony, he casually remarked, "So what if he's a fake?"

"You..." These words were undoubtedly a fatal blow to Zhao Xinyuan.

"I must kill you," only by killing him can he become the only Lu Junheng.

Lu Junheng returned to his dormitory to pack his bags. He hadn't seen his mother for a long time and wondered how she and the others were doing.

Eager to return home, he grabbed his bag and ran off.

However, as soon as he ran out of the academy, he saw Lin Shu standing not far away.

Lu Junheng was caught off guard by this sudden surprise, and unable to suppress his pride, he called out in the direction of Lin Shu.

"mother."
