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

These words were like a wake-up call for Lu Shiyuan, who was secretly heartbroken because Lin Shu had distanced himself from him.

After hearing what Ji said, her eyes gradually brightened.

Like a ray of warm sunshine, it shone into Lu Shiyuan's heart, sweeping away the gloom in his heart.

His heart began to swell with joy. So, it seemed Lin Shu wasn't entirely without affection for him after all!

Lu Shiyuan's lips unconsciously curled up. Overjoyed, he reached out and vigorously rubbed Lu Zijing's head, "Son, why does Daddy love you so much?"

One sentence made Ji Shi and Lu Zijin inexplicably afraid, and even their eyes were filled with wariness when they looked at him.

Has this guy gone mad?!

After leaving Lu Shiyuan's room, Lin Shu went straight to the bridal chamber.

Because of Lu Shiyuan's matter, she dared not go out these past two days and stayed at home every day.

When I was bored, I made some cold chicken feet salad.

Just as I was about to try it out, I heard Aunt Qi's voice from outside.

"The Lu family's daughter-in-law..."

Upon hearing Aunt Qi's voice, Lin Shu stopped what he was doing, got up, and walked out of the burial room.

Just then, Aunt Qi arrived at the Lu family's courtyard with Li's wife and several unfamiliar women.

Upon seeing Lin Shu, Aunt Qi couldn't hide her joy. She quickly stepped forward and handed the braised meat she was carrying to Lin Shu.

“Daughter-in-law of the Lu family, you’re finally awake. We came once before, but your mother-in-law said she was still sleeping because she was tired from the long journey, so we didn’t dare to disturb you.”

"Well, judging by the time, you should be awake by now, so here we are again."

Aunt Qi is now beaming with joy.

Ever since Lin Shu gave her that braised dish, their family's life has undergone a dramatic change.

They used to be so poor they couldn't even afford to eat, but now they have spare money to do other things.

Lin Shu reluctantly accepted the braised meat she offered him, and looked at her with a smile.

She and Lu Shiyuan were injured before, and her mother-in-law was probably afraid that they would find out about it, so she deliberately said, "Thank you, please come in and sit down."

The group was overjoyed to receive Lin Shu's invitation.

You know, Lin Shu is a very popular person right now.

Whether in the small town or Qijia Village, people wanting to see her for treatment are as numerous as carp crossing a river.

Very few people could get close to her; to be precise, only Aunt Qi and Renyitang were close to her. She never gave face to anyone else.

As the group entered the courtyard, Li's wife, stroking her belly, looked at Lin Shu with gratitude, saying, "Sister Lin, I haven't had a chance to thank you yet. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten pregnant so quickly."

“Sister Liu, what are you saying? This is your destiny with the child. I just took a look for you,” Lin Shu said.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a strange yet familiar voice behind her, "You didn't just take a look. If it weren't for you and your husband, how could she have gotten pregnant?"

"In my opinion, you are their great benefactor," Liu's daughter-in-law said, looking at Lin Shu with a fawning expression, trying her best to win a good reputation in front of her.

Her words filled Li's daughter-in-law with shame and indignation. She lowered her eyes awkwardly and dared not speak again.

Having shown Lin Shu respect, Liu's wife, acting as if they were old friends, headed towards Lin Shu's newly built house.

"Sister Lin, I heard from Uncle Li that your house is very beautifully renovated. I hope you won't mind!"

Aunt Qi, who already disapproved of her bullying the Li family's daughter-in-law, was even more indignant when she saw that Lin Shu's family still wanted to act recklessly.

His face immediately darkened. "The house is so big, you can see it from anywhere. Why do you have to go into someone else's house?"

Aunt Qi's words made Liu's daughter-in-law stop in her tracks. She glanced at Lin Shu and saw that Lin Shu had a sullen face and didn't say anything.

Mistakenly believing that Lin Shu disliked Aunt Qi for usurping power, he immediately became fearless.

"Aunt Qi, Lin Daiyu hasn't said anything yet, but you're already bringing it up. Anyone would think this is your family."

"You..." Aunt Qi was about to say something when she heard Lin Shu's voice coming from beside her.

“My home is Aunt Qi’s home, do you have a problem with that?” They say you can’t hit a smiling face, but now she felt that the saying was ambiguous.

She wanted to slap someone who didn't respect her with a smile.

"My temple is too small to accommodate someone as great as you. Please leave now."

Liu's wife was stunned, her face turning red and white with embarrassment, when she didn't expect Lin Shu to turn against her because of Aunt Qi.

The others who came with Aunt Qi all gave her looks that said she deserved it.

Knowing full well that Lin Shu and Aunt Qi had a good relationship, he still went out of his way to offend Aunt Qi.

Well, that's it, they've been kicked out.

In particular, Liu's wife wanted to ask Lin Shu to help her get medical treatment.

Upon hearing Lin Shu speak, Liu's wife quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Lu's wife, look at my mouth, I just don't know how to speak. Can you forgive me this time since we are all from the same village?"

“Sorry, I don’t like people that Aunt Qi and Sister Liu don’t like either,” Lin Shu said bluntly.

Lin Shu's defense of the two men startled them.

They didn't expect Lin Shu to protect them like this, and even kick them out in public.

His eyes were filled with gratitude and excitement as he looked at Lin Shu.

Liu's daughter-in-law never expected things to turn out this way, all because that old geezer kicked her out.

He stomped his foot angrily and walked out of the Lu family courtyard in dissatisfaction.

After she left, Aunt Qi finally asked Lin Shu, "Do you still remember the Lu family's daughter-in-law?"

"she?"

Seeing that Lin Shu had no memory, Aunt Qi hurriedly added, "It was her who slandered A Jin and your mother-in-law for stealing fish before. It's just that it's been a long time, so you've forgotten. She's really shameless. Even after things had gotten so bad, she still followed along."

If Aunt Qi hadn't mentioned it, Lin Shu wouldn't have remembered it, but once she brought it up, the memory came back.

"In that case, kicking her out earlier was actually letting her off easy."

"That's right, I didn't want to come with her at first, but she shamelessly insisted on coming along and even wanted you to treat her illness." Lin Shu is an benefactor of the Qi family, and no one can bully her.

Recalling the past, Lin Shu sneered, "Want to see me for treatment? No way."

After the two finished talking about Liu's daughter-in-law, Aunt Qi recounted the recent events that had occurred in the village.

When Ren Bilian is mentioned, there is both disgust and sympathy. "Speaking of Ren Bilian, she has finally gotten her comeuppance."

"What's wrong?" Lin Shu looked at Aunt Qi strangely. She hadn't even gone to settle accounts with Ren Bilian yet, so why was she pitying her?

Aunt Qi sighed, "Wasn't it exposed that Zhao Xinyuan took Junheng's place to study at Qingsong Academy? After Qingsong Academy found out the truth, they sent him back."

"After they bullied Aheng and the others at the gate that time, and were bullied by your family's tiger, Ren Bilian also broke with her brother Ren Bihua, and the mother and son were driven to the cave."

"Originally, Zhao Xinyuan lived in Qingsong Academy. But after he was kicked out, he had nowhere to go and no money. So, Zhao Xinyuan went so far as to sell Ren Bilian to a brothel."
