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

Qin Zixuan stood at the very front of the crowd, dressed in fine clothes, with a cold smile on his face, a smile that concealed a ruthless determination to win.

His voice was deep and menacing, like a vengeful ghost from the underworld, “Lu Shiyuan, we meet again. Do you remember what I said before? The next time we meet will be the day you die.”

Lu Shiyuan lazily raised his eyes and gave a disdainful sneer, "I also said that I would be waiting for your arrival at any time."

Yuan Bingxuan quickly scanned the yard; apart from a tiger, there was nothing else there.

He immediately asked the system, "System, where is Lin Shu?"

"We're on our way back," the system said.

Upon hearing this, a ruthless glint flashed in Yuan Bingxuan's eyes.

Since Lin Shu isn't here, let's finish this quickly to avoid trouble when she returns. He immediately turned to Qin Zixuan and said, "Brother Qin, don't waste time talking to him, just kill him."

“Alright,” Qin Zixuan stepped back and beckoned to the guards beside him.

Following his gesture, the guards behind him rushed towards the Lu family courtyard.

Lu Shiyuan's eyes sharpened, and he quickly gripped his long sword, heading towards the direction from which the guards were rushing.

Inside the house, Ji Shi and Lu Zijin, who were witnessing Lu Shiyuan fighting Qin Zixuan and Yuan Bingxuan, stared nervously at the figure fighting in the crowd.

"Grandma, do you think Father will be alright?"

Lady Ji glanced at the little one in her arms, but for a moment she didn't know how to answer.

With their daughter-in-law absent and A-Yuan seriously injured, they had no chance of winning.

This battle is doomed to failure.

The reason they're still holding on is because they're at their last gasp and won't last much longer.

But she didn't know how to tell Lu Zijin, so she could only subconsciously pull his head into her arms.

"I'm not afraid," we'll die together if we have to.

After Ji finished speaking, she looked firmly at Lu Shiyuan, who was fighting fiercely in the courtyard.

At this moment, the wound on Lu Shiyuan's back had reopened, and blood stained his clothes, but his movements did not slow down at all. Every sword move was precise and deadly, clearly indicating that he was fighting for his life.

Yuan Bingxuan watched as Lu Shiyuan struggled more and more, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

He looked at Liu Wuhen with a smug expression.

Liu Wuhen understood and walked towards the direction of Ji's house.

Just as he was about to approach Lu Zijin's house, Tiger Mom slowly emerged from the darkness, baring her sharp fangs at Liu Wuhen while letting out a deep and powerful roar.

Liu Wuhen paused, instinctively stopping, but Tiger Mom didn't give him a chance to stop.

With a loud roar, it pounced directly at Liu Wuhen, who quickly dodged.

Upon seeing Tiger Mom, Lu Zijing felt as if she had seen a savior.

He immediately cried out in Ji's arms, "Tiger Mom, bite him to death!"

Lu Shiyuan, who was originally distracted by this, focused on dealing with the guards in front of him when he saw that Tiger Mom was temporarily holding back Liu Wuhen.

However, no matter how powerful Lu Shiyuan was, he couldn't fight against four people, especially since he was injured and was no match for them at all.

Just as the battle reached its climax, with both sides exchanging blows and locked in a fierce struggle, a rapid sound of approaching hooves broke the intense contest.

The newcomer was dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, his long black hair was tied up with an exquisite jade hairpin, and his eyes and brows exuded an undeniable nobility and arrogance.

She leaped from her horse, drew her sword, and charged towards the Lu family courtyard to assist Lu Shiyuan in fighting the enemy.

Qin Zixuan's expression changed slightly upon seeing Su Qing. "Su Qing, what do you mean? Are you deliberately trying to oppose me?"

"So what if it is? I told you, don't show up in front of me with your double, it's disgusting," Su Qing said, and then directly killed the guards who rushed towards her.

Yuan Bingxuan, who was standing to the side, was deeply hurt by Su Qing's merciless words.

Her eyes were bloodshot, her face filled with hatred as she stared at the figure fighting the guards. [System, who exactly is she?]

[Su Qing, the daughter of General Jiang, is Lin Shu's childhood friend,] the system said.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bingxuan frowned.

As a transmigrator, she knew the original plot of this world inside and out, but the name Su Qing was completely unfamiliar to her.

Could it be that the world's trajectory has deviated from the original story due to some unknown factors?

Just as Yuan Bingxuan was deep in thought, Su Qing's sword struck down another enemy. Her movements were fluid and swift, and she showed no mercy in killing.

With her assistance, Lu Shiyuan's pressure decreased significantly, and the two worked together seamlessly, gradually turning the tide.

Even so, Lu Shiyuan and his companion still had no chance of winning.

Both of them understood that Qin Zixuan had not yet made a move.

Qin Zixuan didn't want to be enemies with Su Qing, but Su Qing insisted on going against him. "Su Qing, if you insist on helping Lu Shiyuan, don't blame me for being impolite."

Su Qing killed the person blocking her way and said coldly, "Stop with your hypocrisy, I don't care."

He was publicly humiliated by Su Qing, and a flash of anger crossed his eyes. He knew Su Qing's personality well; once she made a decision, she would not turn back.

Without another word, he moved swiftly, joining the battlefield like a ghost, his target Lu Shiyuan.

Lu Shiyuan's eyes sharpened, realizing that his battle with Qin Zixuan had only just begun.

Those previous bodyguards were just appetizers for Qin Zixuan.

He quickly dealt with the last guard in front of him and looked at Qin Zixuan with a cold gaze.

Seeing Qin Zixuan rushing towards Lu Shiyuan, Su Qing immediately understood his intention and wanted to rush over to confront him, but was intercepted by the guards in front of her.

She wasn't afraid that Lu Shiyuan would be killed, but simply couldn't stand Qin Zixuan.

She had long wanted to have a good fight with that hypocritical, sanctimonious man.

However, she didn't have that chance and could only watch helplessly as Qin Zixuan rushed towards Lu Shiyuan.

The sword light was like a tapestry, as Lu Shiyuan's sword and Qin Zixuan's sword light intertwined, producing a crisp metallic clang.

Both of them possessed extremely exquisite swordsmanship, and each exchange seemed to produce sparks flying, leaving the audience breathless.

Yuan Bingxuan watched coldly from the sidelines, secretly making her own plans.

Although she was surprised by Su Qing's appearance, what worried her more was that the world seemed to have really deviated from the original story.

She must find a way as soon as possible to ensure that her plan can proceed smoothly.

With this in mind, she turned her attention to Ji Shi and Lu Zijin, who were hiding in the house.

Even if Qin Zixuan's plan fails, as long as they are captured, she can still use them as leverage to force Lin Shu to hand over the gold and compel Lu Shiyuan to surrender.

Once she retrieves the gold, she can return to the capital and report back to His Highness.

Yuan Bingxuan immediately made up her mind and got up to walk towards the house of Ji Shi and Lu Zijin.

She arrived at the two people's house and found the door locked from the inside. She immediately turned around, picked up a knife from the ground, and chopped the door open with a loud crash.

When Ji Shi and Lu Zijin saw her walking towards them with a knife, they felt utterly hopeless.

Unable to resist, she hugged Tian Tian and stepped back, saying, "Don't come any closer. If you dare to hurt us, my mother will definitely kill you when she gets back."
