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

Lin Shu suddenly stopped in his tracks, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his chest.

Her eyes widened, her hands clenched into fists, and she quickly looked around to confirm that this was indeed the Lu family's courtyard.

But apart from the tiger with its golden eyes narrowed and staring at her, who was about to devour her, there was nothing else in the courtyard.

Ah Jin and her mother-in-law...

After a brief shock, Lin Shu quickly regained his senses.

Staring at the tiger warily, he said, "You dare to glare at me after taking over my place? Believe me or not, I'll shoot you dead."

The tiger roared in response to her provocation, the roar echoing in the empty courtyard and making her eardrums ache.

The giant beast opened its blood-red maw, revealing sharp fangs, and its golden pupils gleamed with a wild and cunning light, as if mocking her overestimation of her abilities.

Lin Shu felt his authority had been challenged, and immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight the tiger.

Before she could even rush over, someone grabbed her leg from behind, saying, "Mom, you're finally back."

Lin Shu subconsciously stopped what he was doing, lowered his eyelids to look at the little guy clinging to his leg, and saw that it was none other than Lu Zijing.

Upon seeing the little guy suddenly appear, Lin Shu grabbed him by the collar and pulled him aside, saying, "Don't block your mother from doing something important."

Lu Zijing saw through her intention and hugged her even tighter. "Mom, don't hit Auntie. She's Sweetie's mom."

Auntie? Sweetie's mom?

Lin Shu subconsciously looked at the tiger in the yard and saw that the tiger had already retreated and was lazily lying in the yard sunbathing, showing no intention of moving at all.

"Sweetie's mom? Auntie, are you serious about this name, Ajin?" Lin Shu looked at Lu Zijin with disbelief.

Lu Zijing looked at her seriously, "I'm serious, Mom. You can call it Auntie from now on."

"You don't know, Auntie has been protecting us all this time. If it weren't for her, we would have been bullied by that bastard Zhao Xinyuan a long time ago."

Okay, considering the tiger protected them, she could overlook the tiger's aggressive behavior towards her.

They could make her call Tiger Auntie, but she would rather die than submit.

“Silly son, your mother doesn’t disapprove of you raising tigers, but rather of the name you chose,” Lu Shiyuan said, helping Ji Shi up behind them, unaware of what was going on.

The Ji family was also quite troubled and helpless about naming Lu Zijin.

Once a name is chosen, it has to be used; she'd rather die than change it. There was nothing she could do. "See? I told you before that your mother would never like this name, but you wouldn't believe me."

Lu Zijing looked at Lin Shu with a conflicted expression, "Mother, don't you like this name?"

“I don’t like it, I really don’t like it,” Lin Shu replied without hesitation.

Seeing this, Lu Zijing didn't dwell on it much. "Then, Mother, would you like to give Aunt a name?" He wouldn't like anything his mother didn't like either.

"Tiger Mom," Lin Shu said without hesitation after receiving Lu Zijing's consent, the name coming out right off the bat.

After all, she didn't want to call a tiger "auntie," as that would be tantamount to taking advantage of her.

The words had barely left her lips when Qinghe retorted without hesitation, "Madam, your name isn't much better than the young master's."

Lu Shiyuan disagreed, saying, "I think the name Tiger Mom is very well chosen."

Ji gave him a look that said, "You've got some knowledge," then let go of Lu Shiyuan's support and walked towards Lin Shu.

"Daughter-in-law, you must be tired from your long journey. Go home and rest first, and while you're at it, take a look at the house that your Uncle Li and the others have built."

Madam Ji's kind words warmed Lin Shu's heart. "Okay, Mother-in-law, have you given the money to Uncle Li and the others?"

“Here, I knew what you meant from the moment you gave me that silver, but your Uncle Li said he has something he wants your permission for.”

"He said the building plans for this house are very good, and asked if he could use them for other houses in the future," Ji relayed Li Shu's words to Lin Shu.

“Sure, if you run into him again, just tell him to take it and use it,” Lin Shu said, holding Lu Zijing’s hand with one hand and Ji Shi’s arm with the other, leading Tian Tian, ​​who was already almost as tall as Lu Zijing, towards the courtyard.

Lu Shiyuan watched the group leave, then turned to Qinghe and said, "We're home now. You should head back to Langya Mountain tomorrow."

"General..."

Qinghe wanted to beg for mercy, but Lu Shiyuan interrupted her decisively, "This is a military order."

“Yes,” Qinghe had no choice but to reply.

The new house is located on the east side of the courtyard, bathed in bright sunlight, which illuminates the blue bricks and gray tiles, making it appear exceptionally warm and elegant.

Lin Shu was quite satisfied with his design.

After all, this was the first house she had ever designed, and even the patterns carved on the windows were her own carefully crafted designs.

Hard work pays off, and the result is very satisfying.

Each person had their own room in the newly built house. After Lin Shu finished looking at his room, Lu Zijin couldn't wait to pull him to her room.

"Mom, look at my room! Not only does it have Sweetie's bed, but it also has Tiger Mom's bed!"

She had specially designed a room for Lu Zijin and Lu Junheng.

Lu Junheng's room has an upper bed for sleeping and an lower bed for reading.

Lu Zijing's room, where the lower bed was originally Tian Tian's private den, has now unexpectedly become a den for the two of them due to the addition of a tiger.

Looking at the house's ingenious and unfamiliar yet reasonable design, Lu Shiyuan was once again amazed by Lin Shu.

He thought he knew Lin Shu very well, but every time Lin Shu appeared, he was always surprised.

Lin Shu's idea of ​​diverting water from the back mountain into the courtyard was particularly ingenious.

"The house is beautifully designed."

"Of course," this is a fusion of thousands of years of history and culture, how could it not be beautiful?

Seeing Lin Shu's smug look, Lu Shiyuan thought for a moment, but finally couldn't help but ask, "What about one of mine?"

Lin Shu was visibly stunned upon hearing this.

Ji Shi, standing to the side, looked at Lu Shiyuan with a disappointed expression and slapped him, saying, "Are you stupid? You and your daughter-in-law are husband and wife, so her room is your room too."

“Yes…” Lu Zijing was interrupted by Lin Shu before she could finish speaking.

“No, Ah Heng isn’t here. You can stay at Ah Heng’s place for now,” Lin Shu said, then ignored everyone and walked towards his room. He closed the door, lay down on the bed, and went straight to sleep.

Lu Shiyuan met the disdainful looks from Shi Ji and Lu Zijin.

“Father isn’t stupid, he doesn’t even ask such a question,” A-Jin said bluntly.

Ji nodded in agreement, "How stupid! Let's go, we don't know him."

...Lu Shiyuan.

He never dreamed that Lu Shiyuan would one day be disliked by his aunt and son.

The next morning, just as the sky began to lighten, Lin Shu quietly opened the door and left the Lu family courtyard.

If she hadn't been afraid of arousing Lu Shiyuan and Qinghe's suspicion yesterday, she would have gone to the back mountain to find out what was going on long ago. How could she have endured it until now?

Since leaving home, all she has been thinking about is the mountain behind the Lu family's courtyard.

The fact that Yuan Bingxuanhua was bought for so much gold definitely means it wasn't that simple.

Just in case, Lin Shu deliberately took Tiger Mom away.

Yuan Bingxuan has a system that knows everything. Before she can find out the truth, she should not expose herself, so she will use Tiger Mom as a shield for the time being.
