In the previous life, she was fed to dogs by her elder sister, and she was reborn to seek revenge

When Lin Qing was about to say something else, she looked at Sun Qian beside her. She thought Sun Qian would stand with her, but who would have thought that Sun Qian lowered her head and walked to the side of the woman.

The woman looked Lin Qingye up and down and saw that although Lin Qingye had an outstanding appearance, he was dressed simply and did not wear many jewelry. He only had a simple girl's bun on his head and a jade hairpin of unknown origin on his head.

He thought Lin Qingye was just a lady from an ordinary merchant family, so he said to her arrogantly, "How dare you, an unmarried girl, point fingers at women's affairs? If it gets out, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing for others, right?"

Lin Qingye wanted to refute her, but he glanced at Sun Qian behind the woman, and saw Sun Qian looking at Lin Qingye with a nervous expression and shaking her head gently.

Although Lin Qing was still angry, the woman in front of him was Sun Qian's mother-in-law after all. Moreover, she had just secretly given her the medicine that was prepared for Li Wanqing, so it could be considered as teaching her a lesson.

The medicine that Lin Qingye had just given was just a prescription she had made temporarily using local ingredients. It would only make the whole body itch terribly, and one couldn't scratch it, as it would cause redness and swelling.

Although Lin Qing also controlled the amount, it was only enough to make Sun Qian's mother-in-law itchy for one night, but it was enough to torment her. This kind of itch is not something that most people can endure.

Lin Qing also thought of this and did not respond to the woman's words. Instead, he walked straight to Sun Qian's side and said, "Qian Qian, did you hunt any wild rabbits?"

Then he pointed to Cui Xi who was standing by the bonfire and continued, "Look, that's my little maid Cui Xi. She's craving for wild rabbits so much, I was thinking of asking someone to buy a few for her to satisfy her craving!"

After saying that, Lin Qingye and Sun Qian both took out their handkerchiefs, covered their mouths, and chuckled.

Only Sun Qian's mother-in-law, Wang, still had an arrogant look on her face, even though her family depended on Sun Qian's dowry to make ends meet.

But Wang always felt that for a daughter of a merchant family like Sun Qian, marrying her son who had passed the imperial examination was a step up, as her son would one day pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar.

At that time, he would naturally have to marry the daughter of a rich family. After all, the Sun family was just a mere businessman.

However, from ancient times to the present, among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, scholars have always been ranked first, and merchants have been at the bottom, so Wang has always been dissatisfied with Sun Qian.

The reason why he agreed to let his son marry Sun Qian was entirely because of Sun Qian's generous dowry.

If Wang's youngest son had not owed gambling debts, she would never have agreed to let her eldest son, whom she had always favored, marry the daughter of a merchant.

Therefore, ever since Sun Qian married into the Liu family, Wang had been making things difficult for her in every way. Every day before dawn, she would ask the maid to wake her up and make her stand in her room in a proper manner until she got up.

Sun Qian took care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation personally, and the maids and servants hired by Sun Qian seemed to be just decorations. Wang needed Sun Qian to serve her in everything, even when she took a bath, she needed Sun Qian to massage her shoulders behind her.

Although Sun Qian was not the daughter of an official family, she grew up without worries about food and clothing. Although she had an older brother, her father never took a concubine in his life, so she and her brother only had two children.

So, as the youngest daughter in the family, Sun Qian was brought up in a pampered manner since childhood. Not to mention the chores of serving others, she has never even heard a harsh word in her life.

At the beginning, Sun's father was impressed by the talent of Liu Bofeng, the eldest son of the Liu family. He passed the imperial examination and became a scholar at the age of twelve. Although he failed the exam in the first two years, he was still a promising talent.

It turned out that every time Sun's father went to inspect his own shop, he would always see a young vegetable vendor not far in front of the shop. He was dressed like a frail scholar and always had a book in his hand.

At first, Sun's father was just curious about the scholar. He had seen many scholars selling calligraphy and paintings at a stall, but this was the first time he had seen a scholar selling vegetables at a stall.

As time went by, Sun's father gradually learned that this strange scholar was none other than the famous local young scholar, Liu Bofeng.

After some understanding, I also learned about the difficulties this person had. He was raised by his widowed mother along with his younger brother since childhood. His widowed mother relied on washing clothes and mending clothes for others for many years to raise the two brothers.

From a very young age, Liu Bofeng understood that only by studying could he change the fate of his family, so he was very studious since childhood.

When he was young, his family couldn't afford an oil lamp, so he would sit in the yard and read by moonlight. He couldn't afford writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone, so he would take a small stick and practice on the ground over and over again.

Wang also supported her eldest son Liu Bofeng's studies. Even in the cold winter, she insisted on washing clothes for people by the river. Her hands were rotten and then healed.

Finally, his hard work paid off. When Liu Bofeng was twelve years old, he passed the imperial examination and became a famous child prodigy in the area.

Everyone felt that Liu Bofeng would definitely become the top scholar in the future, and that he was like a golden phoenix flying out of the mountain valley.

Suddenly, people came to Liu Bofeng's house to give gifts in an endless stream.

Some even spent a large sum of money to change their words and wanted to adopt Liu Bofeng as their adopted son. There were even many people who came to propose marriage.

For a time, the Liu family was very prosperous. For this reason, Wang no longer did laundry and mending work for others. The famous private schools in the town made an exception and allowed Liu Bofeng to study there for free.

If things had continued like this, the Liu family's life would have gotten better. However, as Liu Bofeng's younger brother, Liu Bolin, grew up, their lives gradually returned to normal.

Liu Bailin's personality was completely different from Liu Bofeng's since childhood. He had a headache when reading since he was young and could not recognize a single word.

After growing up, he gradually started to be idle and finally got addicted to gambling. He gambled more and more. The Liu family, which was supported by Liu Bofeng with great difficulty, was easily defeated by his younger brother Liu Bolin.

Wang had been exhausted from washing, sewing and mending in her early years, and her hands ached from year to year, making it impossible for her to work.

So the burden of the family soon fell on Liu Bofeng's head. So Liu Bofeng began to teach people at home every morning, and went to the vegetable fields to harvest vegetables to sell in the afternoon.

But even so, Liu Bolin still went to gamble, and the money Liu Bofeng earned every day was not enough to pay off Liu Bolin's gambling debts.

It was also because Liu Bofeng's younger brother was addicted to gambling that those who had previously tried to get close to Liu Bofeng all stayed away from the Liu family.

Because Liu Bofeng had no money, he could not raise enough money to go to Beijing for the imperial examination. Two years ago, a businessman funded Liu Bofeng to go to Beijing for the imperial examination.

Liu Bofeng also successfully entered Beijing to take part in the imperial examination, but was eventually kicked out by the examiner because he ate rotten food in the examination room and suffered from vomiting and diarrhea in the examination room.

Before Liu Bofeng returned home, the news had spread like wildfire and had already spread to everyone. As a result, no one dared to help Liu Bofeng anymore.
