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

Lu Shiyuan also put away his casual expression and solemnly bowed to Lin Shu, "It's a pleasure to meet you. Lu Shiyuan greets Madam. I hope you will guide me for the rest of my life."

Lin Shu quickly recovered from the sudden shock and suppressed the ripples in her heart.

She looked at Lu Shiyuan expressionlessly and said, "Now that you're back, let's get a divorce."

Lin Shu knows how to pour cold water on things.

One sentence froze the smile on Lu Shiyuan's face. He never expected that Lin Shu would propose a divorce on their first meeting.

Why do you want a divorce?

“Our marriage was not based on mutual consent; they forced it on you while you were unconscious, so it doesn’t count,” Lin Shu said.

"If it doesn't count, then why did you take care of my mother and child while I was in a coma?" Lu Shiyuan asked, puzzled.

Isn't this contradicting what she said?

Lin Shu didn't think so and continued, "Although it doesn't count, it's still a fact. As your wife, it's your responsibility to take care of your parents and children."

"Now that you have returned, I have returned them to you intact, which is to say that I have completed my mission."

After hearing Lin Shu's words, Lu Shiyuan was both amused and exasperated.

Although he was forced into marriage while unconscious, after waking up, especially after learning that he was married, he never thought about divorcing Lin Shuhe.

During this time, he heard a lot about Lin Shu.

Everyone praised her highly and was very curious about what kind of person she was that made everyone who met her think she was so good.

I had only guessed before, but now that I've heard her words in person, I realize how wonderful she truly is.

Even when faced with people and things she disliked, she never took advantage of their misfortune and diligently took care of their family.

Such compassionate and righteous people are hard to find in this world.

How could he bear to let her leave?

Thinking of this, he unusually went against his conscience and lied.

"You know that our marriage was not based on mutual consent, so getting a divorce won't be easy."

"What do you mean?" She couldn't understand it at all.

Lu Shiyuan coughed lightly, his voice slightly unnatural, and said, "Divorce requires a household registration, and mine is far away in the capital, so I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you for now."

"Household registration?" Does this mean that in ancient times, like in modern times, a marriage certificate and a household registration book were required for divorce?

Seeing her puzzled expression, Lu Shiyuan felt even more confident and said firmly, "Yes."

Only after the two finished talking did Lu Junheng run out with Lu Zijin.

"Daddy..."

Upon hearing Lu Junheng's voice, Lu Shiyuan turned around to look.

If it weren't for the darkness of night, Lu Shiyuan would have been able to see Lu Junheng's bloodshot eyes.

A year had passed, and he thought he would never see his father again. Unexpectedly, his father was now standing alive and well in front of him.

Lu Shiyuan looked at Lu Junheng standing a step away from him, raised his hand and touched Lu Junheng's head, "Aheng, you've grown a lot taller."

One sentence made Lu Junheng, whose voice was already choked with sobs, burst into tears.

At that moment, Lady Ji, who had been waiting nearby, came out of the house.

She had already arrived at the door while Lin Shu and Lu Shiyuan were fighting.

The reason they haven't appeared yet is twofold: firstly, they're afraid of causing trouble and adding to Lin Shu's worries; secondly, they don't know who the visitor is.

She only dared to be sure when Lin Shu called out Lu Shiyuan's name.

Seeing them both crying and laughing, Lin Shu found it hard to bear the atmosphere of this family reunion.

After all, she was used to being alone in her life. "Why don't you two come inside and chat?"

Only after she reminded them did everyone realize what had happened.

Lu Shiyuan, holding the hands of both Lu Junheng and Lu Zijin, walked towards his previous house under the guidance of Madam Ji.

Lin Shu watched them leave, then turned and walked towards his room.

Close the door, go to sleep—all in one smooth motion.

Meanwhile, upon hearing the door close, all three pairs of eyes turned to Lu Shiyuan.

Lu Junheng was even more blunt, "Father, why did you make Mother angry as soon as you came back?!"

...What is Lu Shiyuan doing now?

Compared to the two children, Ji was much more rational. "No matter what method you use, you have to coax her back. I won't acknowledge anyone else."

“Me too, I don’t want anyone else to be my mother,” Lu Zijin quickly declared. “Father, if you can’t win back Mother, I will only be Mother’s child from now on.”

Lu Shiyuan was very troubled. What exactly had he done?

That night, the four members of the Lu family chatted for a long time until the sky began to lighten, at which point they got up and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Lin Shu woke up on time, quickly washed up, and then opened the door to come out.

As soon as I stepped out, I saw Lu Shiyuan standing in the courtyard.

Hearing footsteps, Lu Shiyuan turned around and looked at Lin Shu.

This was the first time he had clearly looked at Lin Shu.

Lin Shu's face was covered by a large red spot. Although she was not beautiful on the outside, it did not affect her aloof and otherworldly temperament.

Like plum blossoms in the snow, they are proud and beautiful in their own way.

"woke up."

Lin Shu looked up at the sound and a noble, aloof, and exceptionally handsome face came into view.

With sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a high nose bridge, an upright posture, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, he exudes an unassailable aura of authority.

They are like gods who have mistakenly fallen to earth, and should not be profaned.

I thought he was incredibly beautiful when he was asleep, but I never expected that he would be even more unattainable when he woke up.

He truly deserves to be called the most handsome man in the entire book, and is also known as the most beautiful villain.

Lin Shu suppressed the amazement in his eyes and said calmly, "Yeah, you're not asleep."

Lu Shiyuan smiled and said, "I haven't seen them for a long time, and I naturally have a lot to say."

"Lin Shu, thank you for taking care of them. You've done a great job with them this past year."

"Thank you for saving my life. If it weren't for your treatment, I'm afraid I would still be unconscious."

Lin Shu looked away from him. "You're welcome. It's my duty."

Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Lu Shiyuan did not bring it up again.

He understood Lin Shu's meaning; it was understandable that she was determined to divorce him and did not want to have anything to do with him.

"I came back this time to..." ask her to continue taking care of them.

"I don't have time, I'm very busy," Lin Shu decisively refused before Lu Shiyuan could finish speaking.

She knew what Lu Shiyuan was planning to do.

She had already guessed it ever since she heard from Ji that Lu Shiyuan was going to Langya Mountain to rescue people.

Ye Xiang was poisoned by Yuan Bingxuan, and naturally, the others were no exception.

The reason she saved Ye Xiang before was not only because she had promised Jiang Mubai, but also because she didn't want to hurt Lu Zijing.

Now that she has rescued Lu Shiyuan as promised, she has no desire to have any further involvement with him, nor does she want to join their hatred.

So even if those people died in front of her now, she wouldn't lift a finger.

Seeing her resolute and determined demeanor, showing no desire to have anything to do with him, Lu Shiyuan felt inexplicably frustrated.

He even began to doubt whether he was unattractive.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even give him a chance to explain himself.

The words Lu Junheng had said to him last night involuntarily came to mind.

"Father, a good woman is afraid of a persistent man, and a virtuous woman is afraid of an idle husband. Don't be fooled by Mother's seemingly cold demeanor; she actually has the softest heart."

"If you don't want her to divorce you, you have to pester her relentlessly."

"Otherwise, you'll lose not only your mother, but also us."

Clearly, Lu Junheng's words made a lot of sense.

It seems that if he wants to win Lin Shu's favor, he must put himself in a do-or-die situation. "Do you want to divorce me?"
