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

The soldiers' symptoms were much more serious than Lu Junheng had imagined.

This also made Lu Shiyuan understand why Mo Yunwei hadn't killed them.

For them, killing or not killing makes no difference.

Ye Xiang watched as Lu Shiyuan fell into endless self-blame and guilt for the sake of his brothers.

She approached Lu Shiyuan from behind, her mind heavy with worry, and said, "General."

"They still can't do anything?" Lu Shiyuan's deep voice revealed an undisguised weariness and helplessness.

Ye Xiang sighed softly, shook his head slowly, and said with a solemn expression, "The doctor said that the poison these soldiers are suffering from is extremely rare. He has never seen it before, let alone know how to cure it. At present, we can only temporarily suppress the poison with herbs and delay its onset, but... I'm afraid it won't last more than ten days."

After hearing Ye Xiang's words, Lu Shiyuan clenched his fists, which were hanging at his sides.

He looked at the familiar faces before him, all of them his brothers who had fought alongside him and gone through life-and-death trials together, but now they could only lie lifelessly in bed, motionless, waiting for their lives to slowly fade away.

"Is there really no other way?"

Upon hearing Lu Shiyuan's exclamation, Ye Xiang suddenly pictured a face covered in red spots.

He slapped his forehead in frustration, then suddenly realized something and said, "General, I've thought of someone. Perhaps she can cure our brothers?"

Lu Shiyuan's eyes brightened, and he looked intently at Ye Xiang, as if he had grasped a ray of light in the darkness. "Who?"

"Madam," Ye Xiang blurted out without thinking.

"Lin Shu?" Lu Shiyuan was taken aback.

Yes, how could he have forgotten her?

Thinking Lu Shiyuan didn't believe him, Ye Xiang quickly said, "It is indeed Madam. When I was poisoned, it was Madam who cured me. Perhaps we can..."

"Get her to come and save people," Lu Shiyuan finished Ye Xiang's sentence.

"Yes, I think if there is anyone in this world who can save the brothers, it must be the lady." It is said that those involved are often confused while bystanders see things clearly, and he had actually forgotten such an important matter.

Upon learning of the new hope, Lu Shiyuan's spirits were rekindled.

He immediately said to Ye Xiang, "You stay here and guard Langya Mountain and keep an eye on the brothers. I'm going back to Qijia Village to find her now."

Qijia Village;

Lin Shu took out a few chickens from her spatial storage and made them into braised dishes using all the spices she and Aunt Qi had bought in town.

Aunt Qi, who was trying braised food for the first time, couldn't stop eating it after tasting the wonderful flavor of braised chicken.

"Madam Lu, this chicken is so delicious!"

Aunt Qi chewed heartily, her eyes narrowing into slits with laughter, and she didn't forget to pick up another piece of chicken with her chopsticks.

Seeing this, Lin Shu couldn't help but laugh.

"Aunt Qi, this braised food is unique in the world, there are no other branches. You must remember its spices and preparation method."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Qi's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at her with disbelief, "You, the daughter-in-law of the Lu family..."

"Aunt Qi, I have too many things to do right now, I simply don't have time to spare."

"You've helped me so much, I don't know how to thank you enough. Consider this dish a gift from me."

Although she had guessed that Lin Shu was going to teach her how to cook, she never expected that she would give her the entire dish.

She could never repay this kindness.

If a neighbor can go to such lengths, then her daughter-in-law only pressures her.

The thought that a family member was worse off than an outsider like Lin Shu brought tears of bitterness to her eyes.

She choked back tears and grabbed Lin Shu's hand, "Madam Lu, thank you. I won't stand on ceremony with you then, but don't worry, I will do everything in my power to protect this dish."

Lin Shu patted the back of her hand reassuringly.

Just then, a figure appeared at the entrance of the Lu family courtyard.

Li's daughter-in-law looked at Lin Shu shyly, her face showing difficulty in speaking, "Sister, I... that..."

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of Li's daughter-in-law, Aunt Qi quickly turned her head away and wiped away the tears on her face.

Lin Shu deliberately blocked Li's daughter-in-law's view and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Sister Li, you've come to see me for a follow-up examination, right? Please come in."

Aunt Qi also calmed down from her excitement.

With red eyes and a somewhat unnatural expression, she looked at Li's daughter-in-law and asked, "Li's daughter-in-law, has it already been a month?"

The Li family's daughter-in-law nodded, "Today is exactly one month."

"Sister Li, please sit down. I'll take a look at it for you right away," Lin Shu said, and was about to reach out to lift a stool for Li's wife when a pair of hands snatched the stool away first.

"Li family's daughter-in-law, sit here," Aunt Qi quickly helped Li family's daughter-in-law to sit down.

"Thank you, Aunt Qi," Li's daughter-in-law said, not caring about being shy, and sat down on the stool in front of Lin Shu.

She stretched out her wrist, staring nervously at Lin Shu.

Lin Shu gently placed his hand on her wrist, his brows furrowing slightly, but quickly relaxing.

She let go of his hand and asked, "Sister Li, have you been feeling drowsy and experiencing acid reflux lately?"

Although she didn't understand what Lin Shu meant, Li's wife still nodded truthfully.

“In the past few days, my drowsiness has become more severe, and my stomach often feels acidic, especially after eating.”

"Sister, what illness do I have?"

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Sister Li, these reactions are all natural phenomena in the early stages of pregnancy. They may continue for about three months. As the fetus grows, your discomfort will definitely lessen."

"What?! I...I'm pregnant?!" Upon hearing this, Li's wife covered her mouth in shock, her eyes instantly reddening and glistening with tears.

She and her husband had been married for several years but had never been able to have children, so this sudden good news made her both excited and incredulous.

Seeing this, Lin Shu pulled down her sleeve and said, "Yes, Sister Li, congratulations! You're pregnant. But please remember that the fetus is not stable in the early stages of pregnancy, so you need to be extra careful."

Li's daughter-in-law nodded repeatedly, her gratitude overflowing. "Thank you so much, sister. If it weren't for your superb medical skills, I might never have been able to experience the joy of being a mother in my life."

Aunt Qi, who was standing to the side, also widened her eyes and exclaimed in amazement, "Lu family daughter-in-law, your medical skills are truly remarkable!"

"Even the doctors in town were helpless with Li's daughter-in-law's illness, but you actually cured her."

At this moment, Aunt Qi truly admired Lin Shu from the bottom of her heart. Before, she thought that what Lin Shu said was just an excuse, but after witnessing her medical skills...

She sincerely believed that Lin Shu was truly unable to leave his post.

Such a person is not human, but clearly a deity.

However, just as her idea came to mind, she heard Jian Gong's voice from the side.

“Madam Lu’s skills aren’t just medical, they’re divine,” one of the construction workers said.

Another person nodded in agreement, "That's right, she's even more powerful than the Goddess of Fertility. I think from now on, instead of worshipping the Goddess of Fertility, we should all worship Lady Lu."

Seeing that their words were getting more and more outrageous, Lin Shu said helplessly, "Alright, stop praising me."

"This is all Sister Li's good fortune, why are you all blaming me for it?"

“My daughter-in-law is a skilled doctor. That’s not an exaggeration; it’s the truth,” said Madam Ji, leading Lu Zijin into the room.

Beside Lu Zijing was a half-grown tiger cub named Tiantian, and behind Tiantian followed a string of chicks and ducklings.

Lin Shu specially went to town to buy it for him a couple of days ago.

After spending the last two days together, Lin Shu felt as if he had discovered a new continent.

It was discovered that Ah Jin has a special affinity for animals; all kinds of small animals like him.

From tigers to flies.
