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

Just as Lu Junheng was about to stand up to cover Bai Qi'an's escape, Bai Qi'an pushed him away without warning, stood up, and said arrogantly to Liu Wuhen.

"I can't run anymore, I'm not running anymore."

When Liu Wuhen saw him, her expression shifted between light and dark. "You are Lu Junheng."

Upon hearing Liu Wuhen's words, Bai Qi'an immediately jumped up, "You arrested Lu Junheng, why are you chasing after me? Do I look like Lu Junheng? And you even dared to injure my guards! I'm telling you, I'm going to tell my father about this."

Upon learning the truth, Liu Wuhen nearly choked on his breath and nearly died of anger.

Damn it, he's chasing Lu Junheng, why is this kid hiding?

Unable to bear it any longer, he drew his knife and held it to Bai Qi'an's neck. "I don't care if you are Lu Junheng or not. If you dare to ruin my good time tonight, you must die."

Bai Qi'an felt the chill on his neck, his pupils contracted sharply, and belatedly realized that he was truly afraid this time!

But we can't let men down, can we?

He immediately stuck out his neck and stretched his head out, saying, "So what if I die? I'm not running away. Go ahead and kill me if you dare."

Lu Junheng, who was pushed to the ground, suddenly had the feeling that he knew a fool.

He covered his face with his hands, wondering what kind of extraordinary person this kid was who was so eager to die.

Seeing that Liu Wuhen was enraged, he raised his knife to kill Bai Qi'an.

Lu Junheng suddenly stood up and rammed into Liu Wuhen, saying, "I am Lu Junheng. Kill me if you want, but don't kill innocent people."

Liu Wuhen was pushed aside by him, staggering back a step, her gaze turning sharply to Lu Junheng, "It's you?"

If he remembered correctly, it was this kid who had obstructed his view, causing him to grab the wrong person.

Lu Junheng straightened his back, his eyes showing no fear, his face open and honest. "It's me."

"Hmph, you've finally shown yourself? I thought you were going to keep hiding like a coward," Liu Wuhen sneered, withdrawing the knife from Bai Qi'an's neck and pointing it at Lu Junheng instead.

Bai Qi'an, having narrowly escaped death, looked at Lu Junheng with lingering fear.

Seeing him rush out to shield him from death, he felt both happy and tragic. "Damn it, are you out of your mind? I finally mustered up the courage to be a hero, but you took it all down with just one sentence."

Lu Junheng didn't want to talk to him; he had never seen someone so talkative even when facing death.

Lu Junheng ignored Bai Qi'an and looked directly at Liu Wuhen. "Kill me or torture me, it's up to you. But as you can see, he's a fool. You don't need to bother with a fool."

Upon hearing this, Liu Wuhen's lips curled into a playful smile. "Lu Junheng, you are indeed a loyal person. However, loyalty has its limits. Tonight, both of you will die."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi'an was about to panic again, but Lu Junheng stopped him with a look.

Lu Junheng stopped pretending and decided to throw caution to the wind, "Die? Do you dare to kill me? If you really dare to kill me, you wouldn't have gone through all this trouble to capture me."

"Let me guess, the reason you're going to such lengths is simply because the people behind you want you to capture him alive, right?"

After listening to Lu Junheng's words, Liu Wuhen couldn't help but scrutinize him carefully.

Even as he faced imminent death, he remained calm and composed.

His composure and calmness alone were something the kid he had kidnapped could not match.

No wonder his master insisted that he capture someone alive and send them back, so that he could threaten Lu Shiyuan.

Liu Wuhen narrowed his eyes and coldly glanced at him. "So what if you guessed it? At worst, I'll kill you and tell him that you committed suicide. Does he expect me to pay for it with my life?"

"So you'd better believe me, killing you is as easy as crushing an ant for me. Do you think you still have the right to negotiate with me?"

After hearing his threats, Lu Junheng dismissed them with disdain.

Are you taking advantage of his young age and gullibility?

When did Lu Junheng's life become so cheap that even a lackey like him could be compared to him?

"Since that's the case, why don't you kill me now and see if your master will let you go?"

“You…” Liu Wuhen did not expect him to be so unyielding, and immediately decided to kill him.

However, considering the importance of this person's identity, he could only suppress his resentment.

There's plenty of time in the future; he'll make sure he suffers a terrible death.

He glanced around. In this situation, there was no village in sight and no shop in sight. Even if he let the kid go, he might not be able to walk back alive.

Thinking of this, Liu Wuhen felt relieved.

He slowly sheathed his sword. "Let him go, I can, but we'll have to see if he can walk out of here alive."

"Fool, he means for me to come with you guys." Since we're friends, we can't let Lu Junheng go on an adventure alone.

To be honest, Lu Junheng still doesn't like Bai Qi'an even now.

But now, looking at this kid, I don't find him as annoying as before.

Finally, with Liu Wuhen seething with hatred, the two of them were taken back in the same carriage that Bai Qi'an had used before.

On the way, Bai Qi'an looked at Lu Junheng smugly and said, "Lu Junheng, now that we've been through thick and thin together, you should at least ask your mother to cook me something delicious."

Lu Junheng had never been so speechless, yet he couldn't kill the person. "When I see my mother, I will definitely tell her."

"Alright, I'll go and warn you in a bit so someone can come and rescue you," he said, and the carriage stopped at that moment.

After watching him leave, Lu Junheng closed his eyes and leaned against the carriage, pretending to doze off.

After jumping off the carriage, Bai Qi'an ran towards Renyi Hall without stopping.

Since Jiang Mubai said that Lu Junheng's mother's cooking is delicious, they must be good friends.

You can't go wrong asking him for help.

Lu Junheng was led by Liu Wuhen to the courtyard where they were temporarily staying, where Yuan Bingxuan had been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing Lu Junheng, a look of amazement flashed in her eyes.

Although he was young, he was very handsome, no wonder he would become one of the Crown Prince's greatest rivals in the future.

To prevent a repeat of the previous mistake, she asked in her mind, "System, is he really Lu Junheng?"

"That's him. He's obviously not a good person. He's so arrogant at such a young age," the system muttered.

Yuan Bingxuan ignored its complaints and glanced at Liu Wuhen, saying, "To avoid any unforeseen complications, you should send him to His Highness tonight."

“Yes, Miss,” Liu Wuhen stopped again after taking a few steps and looked at Yuan Bingxuan, “Miss, what should we do with that fake one?”

"Let it go. It's just a fake anyway, there's no point in keeping it," Yuan Bingxuan said, then got up and left the courtyard.

They've been mining in Jinshan for a month now, and they've unearthed quite a few things.

To avoid suspicion, she deliberately had a house built on the mountain to hide all the mined gold inside.

Now that the house is completed, she needs to go and see the results.
