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

After hearing his words, Lin Shu couldn't help but glance at him.

What's this guy trying to do?

Seeing Lu Shiyuan's handsome face, which was so strikingly beautiful it was almost offensive, yet still bearing his usual composure and calmness, Lin Shu realized he had been overthinking things.

Without thinking twice, she immediately stood up and said, "Okay, then you get some rest." After saying that, she got up and left the room without looking back.

They left Lu Shiyuan alone and miserable in the house.

Watching Lin Shu turn and leave without a second thought, Lu Shiyuan's heart was once again wounded a thousand times.

That heartless woman, couldn't she tell he was being sarcastic? She just left like that.

Lin Shu walked out of the house and saw Lu Zijing, Jiang Mubai, and the other two teasing Tian Tian and her child. He shook his head speechlessly.

Thinking of the chicken feet she had just soaked, she turned and walked towards the brooder.

He brought out all the cold-dressed chicken feet and said, "Everyone, stop for a moment, wash your hands, and try what I made today."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

Bai Qi'an and Jiang Mubai, in particular, had their eyes light up.

They came here for this very purpose, and immediately got up and surrounded Lin Shu.

Even Sweetie and Tiger Mom wagged their tails and walked towards them.

Only the Li family's wives and a few others stood up somewhat embarrassed, saying, "Sister Lin, we've been bothering you for a long time, so we won't disturb you any longer."

Upon seeing this, Lin Shu quickly said, "What are you saying? I'm very happy that you came to keep me company."

"As for food, it tastes better when everyone eats together. If you leave, it won't taste good to us, right, Aunt Qi?"

Aunt Qi, who had just stood up to leave with them, was both amused and exasperated when she saw that the other woman had suddenly turned her attention to her.

Their family has acquired so many properties from the Lin family, and now they're taking advantage of them.

Just as he was about to refuse, he saw Lin Shu's plea for help.

He immediately changed his tune, saying, "Yes, the Lu family's daughter-in-law meant well. Let's all stay and eat together."

Seeing that Aunt Qi had said so, the others had no choice but to suppress their embarrassment and stay.

Especially Li's wife, who was pregnant, loved this kind of sour and spicy food the most.

Seeing that they had no objections, Lin Shu then distributed the cold chicken feet to everyone one by one.

Each person had a small bowl in front of them, its aroma enticing and its color irresistible; it was mouthwatering even before they took a bite.

"Wow, Dr. Lin, these chicken feet are absolutely amazing! They're sour, spicy, and refreshing, with a hint of sweetness. I've eaten my way through the world, and I've never tasted anything this delicious before," Jiang Mubai exclaimed loudly after being the first to try them.

"Not only have I never eaten it, but I've also never seen it prepared this way before," Bai Qi'an said, feeling that what he said was too vague, so he simply finished his sentence.

Not to be outdone, Tian Tian rubbed her nose against Lin Shu's leg, seemingly asking for more.

Lin Shu smiled and patted its head, then took a small piece of chicken foot that was specially prepared for it, less spicy and more sweet. Tian Tian immediately snatched it excitedly and found a corner to enjoy it.

Seeing them praise her mother, Lu Zijing proudly raised her face and said, "That's right, everything my mother makes is the most delicious."

Sitting alone in the room, Lu Shiyuan listened to the laughter and chatter outside, and his jealousy grew stronger.

He was already depressed, but now he became even more depressed.

In an attempt to attract Lin Shu's attention, he resorted to the same old trick again.

He even reached out and rubbed the cuts on his body, wincing in pain.

Once he realized his wound had reopened, he started making loud thumping noises in the room.

Hearing the noise coming from inside the house, everyone turned to look in that direction.

Lin Shu stood up first, "I'll go take a look."

Lady Ji followed behind her, her face full of worry.

When the two entered the house and saw the mess Lu Shiyuan had left, they both paused in surprise.

As if he hadn't expected it, Lin Shu was even more surprised, "You..."

Lin Shu was about to ask him how he was when Lu Shiyuan apologized first, "Sorry, I didn't mean to bother you, I was just a little thirsty and wanted some water, but who knew..."

Seeing his aggrieved expression, Lin Shu felt guilty for not taking good care of him. "It's okay. Just call me next time you want some water."

“Okay,” Lu Shiyuan nodded obediently.

This scene left Lady Ji, who was standing to the side, dumbfounded.

Is this still the same spirited, strategic young war god?

She must be blind now; she never imagined that the person who single-handedly supported a country could be such a scheming woman.

He immediately turned away, too ashamed to look, and walked out of the house, leaving the two of them alone.

Jiang Mubai, who was sitting to the side eating chicken feet, raised an eyebrow the moment he saw Ji Shi come out.

This guy actually used self-harm to attract attention; how childish.

After tidying up the room, Lin Shu considerately brought him a bowl of water.

"Want some more?" Lin Shu asked patiently, seeing that he had finished drinking.

Lu Shiyuan shook his head, and seeing Lin Shu about to leave, he quickly said, "Shu, it seems that the wound on my body has really reopened this time."

At this point, even Lin Shu, who was usually slow-witted, realized that things were not simple.

Drinking water can cause such a big commotion!

Once she understood, she felt both annoyed and amused.

A mighty war god, doing something so childish.

If this gets out and his subordinates find out, they'd never guess.

Our own invincible war god on the battlefield, a man who is usually stern and decisive, is actually so childish in private.

In an attempt to attract their attention, he deliberately injured himself.

Lu Shiyuan could tell from Lin Shu's amused and exasperated gaze that she had seen through his little trick.

Looking at her with slight embarrassment, he said, "I..."

"Turn around, let me take a look at your wound," Lin Shu interrupted him without giving him a chance to speak.

Lu Shiyuan was surprisingly cooperative this time, even taking off his clothes himself.

Seeing that his previous wound had indeed reopened, Lin Shu removed the gauze, took out a small medicine bottle from his sleeve, and carefully applied ointment to him.

The ointment touched the wound, bringing a slight coolness that relieved the pain and seemed to soothe Lu Shiyuan's unease and anxiety.

He lay quietly, letting Lin Shu's gentle fingers move lightly across his back, each touch like a spring breeze rippling across a lake.

"Your wound hasn't fully healed yet, why are you still acting so recklessly?" Lin Shu's voice carried a hint of reproach, but it couldn't hide his concern.

As she applied the medicine, she gently cautioned, "If you continue to abuse your body like this and develop chronic illnesses, I won't take care of you anymore."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyuan's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile, and a sense of satisfaction at being valued welled up within him.

He answered softly, "I understand, it won't happen again."

"Tsk tsk, a grown man using such methods to attract attention, how childish!!" As Lu Shiyuan's voice fell, a mocking voice came from the doorway.
