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

Lin Shu turned to look at him, her eyes narrowed, and said dangerously, "What do you mean? If I don't help you save people, you won't divorce me?"

Lu Shiyuan was surprised that Lin Shu knew the purpose of his return, and he didn't know how to bring it up.

A flicker of surprise crossed his deep, star-like eyes, but he quickly understood.

It's understandable that Lin Shu, being so intelligent, would have guessed it.

But since she's brought it up, why not play along?

This also conveniently covered up the lie I told last night: "No, it's about household registration."

“As I said last night, my household registration is still in the capital. The emperor is currently under house arrest by the crown prince, and my relationship with the crown prince is extremely hostile. Getting my household registration back is like climbing to heaven.”

"Only by reviving my brothers can we have a chance to fight the Crown Prince, but right now they are poisoned, unconscious, and only have ten days left to live."

"So your divorce from me is probably going to be a long way off..."

"When are you leaving?" Before Lu Shiyuan could finish speaking, Lin Shu's voice suddenly came from beside him.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyuan was both happy and saddened, realizing that he was not as important as a divorce agreement.

“It has taken me three days to get back, and it will take at least three more days to get back, so we must get back immediately,” he said, having come at a fast pace, not wanting to linger for even a moment.

However, going back with Lin Shu would naturally be slower, and there would definitely be some delays.

Lin Shu really doesn't want to go!!!

She went to great lengths to lure the female lead, but she still hasn't figured out what secrets this mountain holds.

However, this matter involves her divorce from Lu Shiyuan.

After a fierce internal struggle, he finally gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, agreeing.

But she had to get back as soon as possible; she didn't want to miss this opportunity.

“I can go with you, but you must come back quickly. I still have things to do here.”

“Okay,” Lu Shiyuan nodded in response.

"I'm going to pack my bags," Lin Shu said, then turned and left.

Only after watching Lin Shu leave did Lu Shiyuan guiltily pat his chest.

He lived an upright and honest life, never expecting that one day he would also engage in such fraudulent and deceitful acts.

In this lifetime, he is determined to make amends to Lin Shu.

After breakfast, the two left Qijia Village amidst the reluctant gazes of the Lu family members.

When Lin Shu saw the horse that Lu Shiyuan brought back, his expression changed slightly.

As time went by, she forgot about this fatal incident.

She can't ride a horse!

Seeing that she looked uncomfortable, Lu Shiyuan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Lin Shu glanced at him and didn't hide anything, "I can't ride a horse."

As a modern person, she is proficient in all kinds of skills, including driving, riding a bicycle, and even skydiving.

But horseback riding was precisely the skill she had the least time to learn.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyuan's lips curled up slightly, an unconscious hint of doting affection emanating from them.

"It's my fault for not thinking things through beforehand. How about this, I'll take you to town first, and then we'll rent a carriage when we get there. What do you think?"

Lin Shu was speechless for a moment, saying that men and women are different.

He came back to ask her to treat his illness, but he only brought back a horse.

Thinking of this, Lin Shu raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, "But there's only one horse right now. We're men and women, so who should ride it?"

Lin Shu's words startled Lu Shiyuan.

He traveled from Langya Mountain back to Qijia Village to find her, subconsciously already regarding her as his wife.

I've never considered this.

Only after hearing her words did he suddenly realize his abruptness.

"I'm sorry, it was my oversight."

Lin Shu glared at him irritably, then ignored him and swiftly mounted his horse, bypassing him.

Although she can't ride a horse, that doesn't mean she hasn't seen others ride horses.

There's a saying, "Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've at least seen pigs run."

Lin Shu mounted the horse and wanted to run away, but no matter how much she pulled on the reins and kicked and punched the horse's back, the horse remained unmoved and stood still.

Based on this, Lin Shu gave up completely.

She reluctantly turned to look at him. "What are you still standing there for? Aren't you in a hurry?"

Little did he know that Lu Shiyuan, who had just witnessed her commotion, nearly suffered internal injuries from holding it in.

In just a few hours, his understanding of Lin Shu had undergone a complete transformation.

From being serious and unsmiling before, to having novel ideas, and now to feeling awkward.

I never imagined there were such interesting people in the world.

In the past, he had always regarded men and women as his subjects, and there had never been anything special about them.

But now I suddenly realize that there is such an interesting person in the crowd.

Just as Lin Shu was getting impatient, Lu Shiyuan leaped up and sat steadily behind her in the next moment.

He reached out and took the reins from her, tightened them to control the horse, and squeezed his legs against the horse's belly. The horse sensed its master's command, instantly bursting with energy, its hooves flying, and galloped away along the winding mountain road.

Lin Shu felt the wind whistling past his ears, and the scenery on both sides flashed by like a movie in fast forward. He subconsciously gripped the saddle tightly, afraid that he would be thrown off the horse if he was not careful.

Lu Shiyuan noticed her unease and tightened his grip on the reins, holding her body perfectly in his arms.

Sensing Lu Shiyuan's subtle movements, Lin Shu couldn't help but feel a strange sensation in his heart.

It seems this guy isn't as annoying as he was described in the original work!

Seeing Lin Shu's expression gradually calm down, Lu Shiyuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a perfectly timed smile.

The two rode quickly towards the town.

Upon arriving in town, Lin Shu was unwilling to compromise for even a second and immediately rented a horse-drawn carriage for himself.

Lu Shiyuan continued to ride his horse alongside the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, Lin Shu rubbed his thigh in pain. Riding a horse was really not something a human being could do.

After watching Lin Shu and the others leave, Lu Junheng and Ji Shi returned to the Lu family courtyard with great reluctance.

Without Lin Shuzai at home, they all felt empty inside, as if a person had lost their soul.

Lu Junheng had only taken a few steps after turning around when he suddenly remembered that there was something important he had forgotten to tell his father.

He quickly turned around and chased after Lu Shiyuan and the others, calling out, "Father..."

His response was only emptiness. Lu Junheng stood there, his expression changing repeatedly.

When Ji saw this, she looked at him with concern, "Aheng, what's wrong?"

"There's something I forgot to tell Father," she said. "Without him watching over me, the fact that Mother is a monster will surely be discovered."

"Is it serious?" Ji asked nervously.

Lu Junheng nodded. "It's very serious; it concerns Mother's life."

One sentence made Ji Shi uneasy as well.

She turned to look in the direction the two had left, but they were nowhere to be seen. She immediately said anxiously, "They're already far away. What should we do now?"

Seeing the two of them looking nervous, Lu Zijing reached out and patted Tian Tian in her arms. "Don't worry, your mother is so smart. If your brother can think of something, your mother can definitely think of it too."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was immediately met with a glare from Lu Junheng. "Shut up."

"Oh, isn't this our academy's genius Lu Junheng? Why are you angry? Where is your manners and uprightness?" Zhao Xinyuan came over upon hearing the commotion and overheard Lu Junheng scolding Lu Zijing. He immediately mocked her.

Behind him were his uncle Ren Bihua and his mother Ren Bilian.
