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

Upon hearing Lu Junheng's voice, Lin Shu lifted her eyes and looked at him.

Seeing him walk towards him, Lin Shu smiled and waved to him, "Aheng."

Lu Junheng rarely showed the innocence of someone his age, and ran happily towards Lin Shu.

"Mother, Grandma Qi, what brings you here?"

Lin Shu smiled and reached out to tidy his messy hair. "Of course I'm here to pick up my son and take him home."

One sentence made Lu Junheng's heart pound, and a blush involuntarily crept onto his cheeks.

It turns out that his mother missed him too.

Aunt Qi looked at the way the mother and son got along and even felt envious.

When she thinks of her grandson, her eyes always look timid.

Lin Shu tidied Lu Junheng's messy hair and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you adjusting well inside?"

Lu Junheng put away his shyness. "Very good, Mother. And you?"

He didn't want to talk about it much, mainly because he didn't want those troublesome things to ruin the happy time he spent with his mother.

Lin Shu rubbed his head, not knowing when she had developed this habit.

She treated Lu Junheng the same way, and she also treated A Jin the same way, always liking to pat their heads.

"That's fine too, it's just that I miss you a lot since you're not home."

Lin Shu's words made Lu Junheng's shyness, which had just faded, rise again. "I miss my mother too."

After they finished speaking, Lin Shu pulled Lu Junheng and said, "Let's go home."

Just as the three were about to return to Qijia Village, they saw the servant of Renyi Hall running towards them in a hurry.

Approaching Dr. Lin, a hint of relief crossed his face. "Dr. Lin, thank goodness you're still here."

"My employer asked me to invite you over, saying that the person you're waiting for, Dr. Lin, has arrived."

One sentence caused both Lin Shu and Lu Junheng to change their expressions.

Lu Junheng's gaze unconsciously turned to Lin Shu, "Mother."

Seeing that he was implying something, Lin Shu reached out and pressed his hand down, "Aheng, listen to me, go home first, your father is waiting for you..."

Lin Shu had no choice but to tell him everything.

She had originally planned to go home and talk about it, but right now she had to settle Lu Junheng in first.

After listening to Lin Shu's words, he learned that his father had woken up.

Lu Junheng stared wide-eyed in astonishment, then looked at Lin Shu with a face full of surprise, "Mother, are you telling the truth?"

"Really, something happened at home again, and I need you to go home and keep an eye on things. Once I figure things out here, I'll come back to find you," Lin Shu revealed his final purpose.

Lu Junheng didn't want Lin Shu to take the risk alone, but he was also eager to see his father.

After much struggle, he chose to stay by Lin Shu's side. "Mother, I can see Father when I go home, but you here..."

“Aheng, be good,” Lin Shu didn’t give him a chance to refuse, and turned to Aunt Qi beside him, “Aunt Qi, please take Aheng back, I’ll be right back.”

Although Aunt Qi didn't know the truth of the matter, she rarely saw Lin Shu so serious, so she immediately nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, Madam Lu, I will get Aheng home safely."

"Thank you, Aunt Qi," Lin Shu said before leaving with the servant.

The servant took Lin Shu, but instead of going directly back to Renyi Hall, he took her to Shiweitian.

"That person has gone to Shiweitian, and the owner is with him. He asked me to take you there."

Lin Shu nodded.

The two arrived at Shiweitian Restaurant. The manager recognized Lin Shu and was about to send someone to inform Shao Xinghe when Lin Shu stopped him.

"I'm here today to discuss something, not to see Shao Dongjia. Don't disturb him yet."

The shopkeeper nodded knowingly, "Yes, Miss Lin."

The servant led Lin Shu to a private room on the second floor, where they saw Jiang Mubai straining his ears against the wall, eavesdropping on what was happening next door.

Seeing Lin Shu walk in, he quickly raised his index finger and made a shushing gesture towards Lin Shu.

Lin Shuxin understood and came to his side. The two of them leaned against the wall in unison to eavesdrop on the conversation across the way.

“Miss, I did as you instructed and refused the Zhao family.”

“Well done,” a clear, gentle voice suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Shu subconsciously frowned.

Just as she was wondering, the man's voice came from next door again, "Miss, I don't understand. Isn't she just a village woman? If you want to deal with her, you can just kill her. Why go through all this trouble?"

Upon hearing this, the woman chuckled softly, "Troublesome, no, I'm going to drive her into a corner."

"Only by driving her to the brink of despair will she try every means to escape her predicament."

"Only then can we truly chill the hearts of the Lu family, provoke them, and make them feel the wickedness of the world."

"By disrupting that person's mind, they will completely lose their rationality, and we will have an opportunity to take advantage of them," and the plot will return to normal.

And as the plot unfolds, she can also become the empress, a woman of great virtue and grace.

This person was none other than Yuan Bingxuan, the female protagonist of the original novel, as mentioned by Lin Shu.

As soon as Yuan Bingxuan finished speaking, a system alert sounded in her mind: [Host, someone is eavesdropping next door.]

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bingxuan's expression cooled down, and she stared intently at the wall behind them.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Yuan Bingxuan pretended to be calm and gave the woman opposite her a wink.

The woman fell silent upon hearing this, looking at Yuan Bingxuan with fear and unease.

Yuan Bingxuan pointed to the wall behind her.

The woman knew perfectly well what was going on, but could only seek Yuan Bingxuan's opinion through her eyes.

Lin Shu, on the other side of the wall, heard the sound suddenly stop.

“We’ve been discovered. Let’s go, let’s catch them,” he said, then turned and walked out of the room toward the next room.

However, they were too late; Yuan Bingxuan on the other side had already escaped.

Jiang Mubai looked at the empty pavilion, his expression changing slightly. "They escaped?"

"You can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple. Keep chasing," she thought, as long as they were in town, she didn't believe they could run very far.

As Lin Shu spoke, he got up and ran downstairs.

Seeing Lin Shu chase after him downstairs, Jiang Mubai followed her down as well.

The two ran out of the restaurant and caught a glimpse of a woman fleeing in the distance.

Upon seeing this, Lin Shu took off after him.

Jiang Mubai originally thought Lin Shu was just a gentle and weak country girl, but he didn't expect her to be so fast that he couldn't catch up with her at all.

Seeing Lin Shu chasing after the woman, he quickly followed with his servant.

The two followed Lin Shu's figure to a relatively secluded dead-end alley.

In the alley, Lin Shu was coldly surveying the veiled woman in front of her.

She had heard from Dean Li that someone looked a lot like her, and she had always been curious about who could look so much like her.

The original story doesn't mention that she has any twin sisters.

Now that she has met him in person, she can't help but sigh in amazement.

Especially when she's wearing a veil, even she herself can't tell the difference.

Jiang Mubai, who caught up later, was also shocked when he saw the woman in front of Lin Shu. "She really looks exactly like you!!"
