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

"What? You were buried at the bottom of the mountain?" Upon hearing this, Madam Ji's face turned deathly pale. She gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, her eyes filled with terror and disbelief. "Then, how did you escape?"

Lin Shu sighed, a hint of lingering fear flashing in his eyes, "I blew up the mountain to escape."

"Amitabha, it is truly the Bodhisattva's blessing, the Bodhisattva's blessing!" Ji clasped her hands together, chanting incantations, her eyes glistening with tears, thanking Heaven for its protection of the two of them.

Ji Shi wisely refrained from pursuing the matter further regarding Lin Shu's brief mention of it.

Lu Junheng had told her before that no matter how bizarre anything happened to Lin Shu, she should not ask about it, as asking would only make things difficult for her mother.

She kept those words firmly in her heart, just like now, she didn't ask Lin Shu where the thing that blew up the mountain came from.

Lin Shu didn't think much of it. Noticing that her body was gradually recovering, she had Lu Zijing help her up and walk towards Lu Shiyuan's room.

Lu Shiyuan's injuries were more severe than hers, and she was afraid that she would miss the best time to save Lu Shiyuan.

Reaching Lu Shiyuan's door, Lin Shu gently pushed it open.

The midday sun shone through the openwork window, illuminating Lu Shiyuan's pale and handsome face. His fair skin became translucent in the sunlight, like an untouchable god.

He lay quietly on the bed, just as she had when they first met.

Her undergarments were already stained red with blood, revealing a shocking scene.

Lin Shu's fingers stiffly tapped Lu Shiyuan's wrist, checking his physical condition.

After a moment, he let out a heavy sigh of relief. "Although the injuries are serious, at least my life is not in danger."

Upon hearing this, Ji Shi and Lu Zijing's tense expressions gradually relaxed.

“He survived the previous situation, so he will definitely survive this time too,” Ji said with certainty.

They can't take any more blows; they've been battered and bruised all over the past year.

"Yes, even if it's the King of Hell himself who tries to take him away, I won't let him be taken away."

Lin Shu said calmly, "You guys go out and wait for me first. I'll bandage his wound."

Ji Shi and Lu Zijin walked towards the door with Tian Tian.

Lin Shu took out a spiritual spring and a medicine box from his spatial storage, removed Lu Shiyuan's undergarments, washed his entire body with the spiritual spring, and then wrapped it up layer by layer with gauze.

After treating the wound, Lin Shu carefully pulled the blanket over Lu Shiyuan's body to make sure he wouldn't catch a cold.

After finishing everything, she collapsed wearily onto the edge of the bed.

Her gaze involuntarily fell on Lu Shiyuan's face, and the emotions she felt when she saw him at the bottom of the mountain resurfaced in her mind.

She didn't understand what that feeling was; it was complicated, hard to comprehend, and yet it also contained a sense of eagerness.

That feeling was somewhere between sympathy and gratitude.

In that brief moment, Lin Shu thought of all sorts of questions she had never considered in her previous life.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't come up with anything, and finally shook her head in frustration.

Forget it, I'll stop thinking about it. It will come to a conclusion eventually. The most important thing now is to wake Lu Shiyuan up as soon as possible.

Lin Shu stood up, called Lu Zijin over, and asked him to help him back to his room.

Lin Shu returned to her room and fell into a deep sleep. She slept very soundly.

Although Ji Shi and Lu Zijin were worried, they dared not disturb him. It wasn't until the next day that Lin Shu finally woke up.

When she woke up this time, her body had recovered quite a bit, although the pain in her internal organs had not completely disappeared, but it was much better than before.

At least she has no problem with her actions.

She slowly sat up in bed, got out of bed, changed her clothes, and then opened the door and walked out of the room.

Lu Zijing was the first to notice that she was awake. Seeing her come out, she ran towards her with a joyful expression, "Mother, you're awake."

As Lu Zijing's voice rang out, Ji Shi also came out of the bridal chamber.

Even the Tiger Mom, who was guarding the door, raised her eyes to look at her.

"She's much better after a nap," Lin Shu said, rubbing Lu Zijing's head. Then she looked at Madam Ji, who had come out, and asked, "Mother-in-law, has Lu Shiyuan woken up?"

"Not yet, but since you're awake, he should be here soon. You've slept for a day and a night, so you must be hungry. I've cooked some porridge for you to eat," said Madam Ji, turning back towards the bridal chamber.

Lu Zijing led Lin Shu to sit down on the stool and began to chatter incessantly.

Lin Shu's coma worried him greatly; he feared his mother might also fall into a coma like his father. "Actually, I know Grandma is worried too, but she won't say anything..."

These words were overheard by Madam Ji, who was carrying a bowl of porridge. She glared at Lu Zijing with annoyance and said, "You think you know everything?"

"That's right, Grandma, you're just worried about your mother."

Lin Shu rubbed his head and said, "It's normal for Grandma to worry about Mom. We're family, after all. Grandma is just being stubborn and doesn't want to admit it, but Ah Jin, don't expose her."

Listening to the two of them talking back and forth, Ji Shi handed the porridge in her hand to Lin Shu with a mix of laughter and tears, saying, "You two are really unreasonable."

“That’s right, it’s because you wouldn’t admit it, Grandma,” Lu Zijing said playfully, sticking out her tongue.

Lin Shu accepted the porridge handed to him by Ji Shi. The porridge still exuded a faint aroma of rice, and warmth traveled from his palms to his heart.

She took a small sip; the temperature was just right, and the texture was delicate. She figured that Ji must have cooked it for a long time and taken care of it constantly, which was why the temperature was so perfect.

She ate a few more bites, then raised her eyes and looked at Madam Ji with a big smile, "Thank you, Mother-in-law."

Ji waved her hand dismissively, but a hint of a smile couldn't be hidden on her lips. "Eat up, look how thin you've become."

The third day;

Lu Shiyuan slowly opened his eyes and watched the sunlight stream into the room through the openwork window, dappling the room and filling the originally cold room with warmth.

Looking at everything familiar before him, a hint of bewilderment crossed his eyes.

Recalling everything he had discovered before losing consciousness, he tried to sit up with worry.

Just then, a melodious and clear voice, like a gentle spring, suddenly rang in my ears: "You're awake."

Lu Shiyuan stopped what he was doing and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw Lin Shuzheng putting away the gold he was holding to test its authenticity and turning to look at him.

Upon seeing Lin Shu, Lu Shiyuan instinctively asked, "Are you alright?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that his voice was particularly hoarse, but surprisingly, his neck was not dry.

When Lin Shu asked him about it, his gaze darkened, and the lingering complexity in his eyes resurfaced.

She replied casually, "It's nothing."

Seeing that she was alright, Lu Shiyuan finally felt relieved. "It's good that you're alright," he said, sitting up and leaning against the headboard.

Seeing Lu Shiyuan's relaxed expression, Lin Shu remained silent for a moment before asking the question she had been pondering for two days, "Lu Shiyuan, why did you risk your life to save me?"
