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

Ye Xiang's words pierced Qing He's heart even more, undoubtedly intensifying her hatred.

She had loved Lu Shiyuan for so many years, and for him, she was willing to abandon her identity and go to the military camp to endure hardship.

All she wanted was to gain Lu Shiyuan's favor.

She had done so much, and was about to achieve her goal, when she was suddenly told that fate cannot be forced.

How could she possibly accept that?

She insisted on forcing her own destiny, and even if she couldn't have it, she would rather destroy it than let someone else have it.

What if I insist on forcing it?

"Then don't blame me for turning my back on you. Anyone who dares to harm Madam is my enemy," Ye Xiang said, and left without looking back.

His wife was not only his savior, but also the benefactor of his brothers and the general.

Anyone who dares to harm the lady will become his enemy.

Qinghe watched Ye Xiang's resolute departure, a hint of ruthlessness and resentment flashing in her eyes.

She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms, yet she felt no pain.

Ye Xiang's words were like a sharp knife, not only piercing her illusions but also igniting the madness and obsession deep within her heart.

"Harm the lady? Hmph, so what!" Qinghe muttered to herself, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips. The smile contained both determination and madness. "I, Qinghe, would do anything for Lu Shiyuan, let alone kill a person."

After saying that, Qinghe turned and left the courtyard.

Lin Shu only looked up at the doorway after Qinghe's figure disappeared from view.

The assassin's senses were extremely sharp, so she noticed Qinghe as soon as she appeared at the door.

The next day;

Lin Shugang got up and stepped out of his room, only to see Lu Shiyuan sitting in the courtyard waiting for him.

The morning light filtered through the sparse clouds, casting dappled shadows on him and gilding his sharply defined face with a soft golden edge.

Lin Shu couldn't help but take a few more glances, feeling a mix of emotions.

How can someone be so good-looking? Their features are three-dimensional and deep, their face is as sharp and beautiful as if carved by a knife. It's as if God sculpted their stunning beauty stroke by stroke, making them seem otherworldly.

Especially her charming and amorous peach blossom eyes, like a pool of spring water, rippling in the morning light, making it impossible to look away.

Even someone like Lin Shu, a seasoned veteran who has seen all sorts of handsome men in modern times, couldn't help but let his imagination run wild for a moment.

Alas, beauty is a curse!

Fortunately, she has always had good self-control, otherwise she would have really fallen for his trick.

She felt that Lu Shiyuan was doing it on purpose; otherwise, why would someone be so pretentious as to wait outside someone else's door so early in the morning?

"Lu Shiyuan, what are you doing here?"

When Lu Shiyuan met her question, a fleeting look of grievance flashed in his rippling peach blossom eyes.

"Didn't I promise you yesterday that I would take you home?"

...Oh, she forgot.

Even so, she would not admit that she was attracted to Lu Shiyuan's good looks.

He quickly tried to justify himself, saying, "I remember, but people need to get some sleep before they can get going."

Lu Shiyuan was taken aback upon hearing this.

I never expected her to be so shameless, making it sound so natural for her to have forgotten about it.

"Sorry, I didn't think well."

"It's just instinct, but now that I'm awake, let's get ready to set off," Lin Shu said, and quickly darted into the room.

Lu Shiyuan watched Lin Shu's fleeing figure, then shook his head with a wry smile.

This guy seems like a pretty shrewd person, but I never expected him to be so foolish.

Lin Shu had no luggage to pack; she kept all her belongings in her spatial storage.

The reason for doing this is simply to escape.

After all, she was definitely overthinking things.

Her face was flushed with irritation.

To give herself a reasonable explanation for her actions, she casually took a set of clothes from her storage space, packed them up, and left.

Stepping out of the room, she saw Lu Shiyuan still sitting in the courtyard and urged, "I've packed everything up, let's go quickly."

Seeing that she only had such a simple bag, Lu Shiyuan couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"Have you packed your things?"

“Of course,” Lin Shu replied affirmatively.

"Then the box I gave you..."

Lin Shu was worried about how to explain her taking out the bomb, but now that Lu Shiyuan had raised a question, she went along with it and gave an explanation.

"I bought some things. Have you forgotten the explosives we used to ambush Xiao Mu?"

Lu Shiyuan suddenly realized what was going on. He wanted to ask more questions, but Lin Shu didn't give him the chance.

"Let's hurry up and go, or it'll be late," she said, actually afraid that if Lu Shiyuan kept asking questions, she wouldn't know how to make up a story.

The two came out of the courtyard and arrived at the gate.

The Night Minister had already prepared a carriage for them and was standing to the side with a displeased expression.

Standing beside him was Qinghe, whose face was gentle and lovely.

Today, Qinghe has shed her former heroic spirit and donned a more gentle blue dress, exuding elegance.

As soon as Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shu came into view, she immediately went to greet Lu Shiyuan warmly.

"General, you are still recovering from your serious injuries and need someone to take care of you on the way. Fortunately, there is no fighting during this period, so please allow me to take care of you along the way."

She did it on purpose, deliberately ignoring Lin Shu and trying to embarrass her.

She also wanted to show Lin Shu that their years of camaraderie were something she couldn't integrate into.

To everyone's surprise, Ye Xiang responded rudely, "The general has his wife to take care of him, why are you going to join in the fun?"

He originally wanted to come along, but I refused.

In the general's words, Langya Mountain had just experienced a major battle and needed someone to clean up the mess, and he was undoubtedly the best candidate.

Qinghe's original plan was ruined by Ye Xiang's words, and her face unconsciously turned a little ugly, and her fists hanging at her sides clenched.

"I was also worried that my wife wouldn't be able to take care of everything by herself."

“What a joke! The lady is a doctor. If she can’t even take care of everything, what use would you be? You’d only cause trouble,” Ye Xiang said, determined not to let Qing He come along.

Don't think he doesn't know what Qinghe is up to.

They were just trying to sabotage the relationship between the general and his wife.

If she could, Qinghe would love to tear that bastard Ye Xiang to pieces.

But she couldn't.

She understood the principle that "a small act of impatience can ruin a great plan," and she was determined to kill that bastard when she had the chance.

She glared at Ye Xiang resentfully, "The general and his wife haven't said anything, so why are you spouting nonsense?"

"Besides, I'm just fulfilling my duty as a subordinate. If something happens to the general, what will happen to the brothers? Do you want to see the brothers displaced and hunted down by the Crown Prince?"

"I suppose Madam won't stop me from serving the General," Qinghe said, looking at Lin Shu with a provocative gaze.

Although Lin Shu saved their lives, Lu Shiyuan was their hope, and they naturally did not want anything to happen to him.

Seeing the hatred spread to everyone, Ye Xiang gritted his teeth in fury.

He knew this woman had ill intentions; she shamelessly dragged everyone into this mess.

If the lady disagrees this time, it will definitely leave a bad impression on the brothers, and all the things the lady has done for them will be in vain.

After all, who would like a petty, jealous person?

Everyone turned their attention to Lin Shu, awaiting her answer.
