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

When Lu Shiyuan saw that Qinghe had dragged Lin Shu into this, his handsome face immediately showed displeasure.

Just as he was about to reprimand her, he heard Lin Shuru's clear and charming voice, as cool as a spring.

“Alright, as long as General Qinghe isn’t afraid of hard work, I have no objection, but…”

At this point, Lin Shu's lips curled slightly, and a deep glint flashed in her eyes. If anyone wanted to scheme against her, she was no paper tiger.

"It's just that General Qinghe doesn't know medicine, so I'm afraid she can't be of much help in taking care of my husband. That's perfect, I don't know how to drive a carriage, so I'll have to trouble General Qinghe."

This time it was Qinghe's turn to be surprised. She exclaimed in disbelief, "What do you mean? You want me to drive the carriage?"

Lin Shu looked at her with an honest and straightforward expression, "Yes, General Qinghe is very loyal. If I don't grant her request, I would be too petty. I think Qinghe probably won't mind driving the carriage."

Qinghe's face turned pale and then red. She had originally wanted to take advantage of being close to Lu Shiyuan to get closer to him, but Lin Shu's words had deflected her attack with ease and even turned the tables on her, assigning her to drive the carriage.

This was undoubtedly a disregard for her status and dignity, especially in front of Lu Shiyuan, the man she admired.

Qinghe couldn't accept this arrangement and subconsciously sought help from Lu Shiyuan.

Lu Shiyuan didn't look at her and said businesslike, "Since Madam has made this arrangement, then let's do as she says."

"Qinghe, once you've escorted us to the town, you should return immediately to handle military affairs."

Qinghe hadn't expected things to turn out this way, and her already ashen face turned even uglier.

His fists, hanging by his sides, clenched tighter, filled with humiliation and hatred.

That damned bastard made him look bad in front of the general.

Seeing Qinghe's discomfiture, Ye Xiang almost burst out laughing.

Dressed so beautifully, yet running off to catch a carriage—who wouldn't be heartbroken?!

Lin Shu was quite satisfied with Lu Shiyuan's arrangements.

But don't think she'll forgive him so easily; after all, this feud is now firmly established.

She met Lu Shiyuan's gaze and gave a disdainful snort, her eyes saying, "You just wait."

Before Lu Shiyuan could react, she stepped forward with a gentle and considerate expression to help him up.

"My lord, let me help you into the carriage... hiss..."

Lin Shu's hand accidentally poked his wound, and the already unhealed cut felt like an old scar being ripped open again after she touched it.

Seeing him frown, Lin Shu looked at him innocently and asked, "What's wrong, my husband? Don't you want me to help you up? Do you want General Qinghe to help you up instead?"

Upon hearing this, Qinghe's mind stirred.

However, the next second Lu Shiyuan made her give up completely, "No, I really like Madam's help, I am flattered."

He didn't say anything, and if he had said another word, he probably wouldn't have made it back to Qijia Village alive.

Ye Xiang won against Qing He for the first time, and his tail was practically wagging in the air.

He was exceptionally attentive in helping the two of them carry footrests, and as he passed by Lin Shu, he silently gave her a thumbs up.

Lin Shu raised an eyebrow smugly.

Once the two were seated in the carriage, Ye Xiang immediately began to order Qing He around.

"General Qinghe, then I'll trouble you to drive the carriage for the general and the others. Please make sure to take them home carefully and safely."

Although Qinghe was unwilling, she had no choice but to obey Lu Shiyuan's instructions.

He forced a smile that looked more like a grimace onto his ashen face. "Okay."

As she turned away, a shadow of gloom flashed in her eyes. She was determined to settle this score tenfold in the future.

The carriage slowly started moving, winding its way along the rugged mountain road.

Inside the carriage, Lin Shu and Lu Shiyuan sat facing each other, the atmosphere subtle and complex.

Lin Shu had a faint smile on his lips, but his eyes gleamed with cunning. He was quite satisfied with the outcome of the exchange.

Although Lu Shiyuan's wound was aching slightly from Lin Shu's "accidental" touch, there was no anger on his face. Instead, he had a doting smile on his face.

"Madam has truly impressed me today," Lu Shiyuan said softly, his tone carrying a hint of gentleness.

Lin Shu raised an eyebrow, a smug smile playing on her lips. "My husband flatters me. I just don't like being threatened."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyuan nodded knowingly, "I will definitely pay attention next time and try my best to prevent such a thing from happening again."

Speaking of this, Lin Shu didn't give him a friendly look.

He then said what he had wanted to say to him that day but had no chance to.

"Lu Shiyuan, if we get a divorce, you can do whatever you want with other women, I won't care."

“But, before we get a divorce, you are still my husband in name only, and you are not allowed to have any entanglements with any other woman.”

"If I find out you're cheating on me, I won't hesitate to kill you all."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyuan also suppressed his smile and looked at Lin Shu seriously.

"Lin Shu, I know that in your heart, our marriage did not go through the proper betrothal ceremony, and the words of the matchmaker do not count."

"But in my heart, I have already regarded you as my wife. No matter what the future holds for us, you will always be my one and only wife in this life, the mother of my children, and there will be no one else like you in the world."

Lin Shu was caught off guard by those deep, affectionate peach blossom eyes, and for a moment he was confused.

However, she quickly regained her senses.

Although she didn't have any desire for immortality, she didn't want to die so young either.

She hadn't forgotten the fate of the villain Lu Shiyuan.

She looked away uncomfortably. "The road ahead is long, and no one knows what will happen. It's too early for you to say these things."

After saying that, she ignored Lu Shiyuan and turned to look out the window.

Lu Shiyuan was rejected, and although he was somewhat disappointed, he was not discouraged.

He believed that sincerity could move mountains, and that Lin Shu would one day open his heart to him.

Outside the carriage, Qinghe, listening to the two's conversation, gripped the reins tightly, her eyes filled with surging jealousy.

Why! ! !

Yuan Bingxuan waited in town for news about the mining operation.

During this time, she learned about Lu Junheng's identity from the system.

When she learned that Lu Junheng was the person Mo Yunwei had been searching for all these years, she immediately sent the news back to the capital to tell Mo Yunwei.

The first thing Mo Yunwei did upon learning the news was to have Lu Junheng brought back to the capital as quickly as possible.

Yuan Bingxuan thought that such an insignificant clown should be killed directly, but she did not want to disobey Mo Yunwei's orders.

They immediately dispatched Liu Wuhen to arrest him.

The problem is that Liu Wuhen doesn't know Lu Junheng.

Having no other choice, he grabbed someone at random and asked them where Lu Junheng was.

However, Lu Junheng has been too conspicuous lately, especially his identity as an illegitimate child, which has been the subject of much discussion.

It was hard not to know; the person who was arrested blurted out Lu Junheng's dormitory without even thinking, "Class A, Room D."
