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

Nan Mingyu has been learning medicine from the court physician of the Duke Zhenguo Mansion since he was a child. No one knew that the famous Doctor Bai, who could revive the dead and whose flesh was white as bones, would hide in the Duke Zhenguo Mansion as the court physician. Doctor Bai remained unmarried throughout his life and devoted himself to studying medicine. Many people wanted to become his disciples, but Doctor Bai had been traveling around the world, and he was hard to find, so he never accepted any disciples.

Nan Mingyu can be said to be the only closed disciple of Doctor Bai, and also the only successor of Doctor Bai. Since Nan Mingyu got married, Doctor Bai also left the Duke Zhenguo Mansion quietly. No one knows where he went, and no one has seen him since. The old Duke Zhenguo has sent people to look for him everywhere over the years but to no avail.

At this time, Lin Qingye was sitting on the swing in Nanmingyu's yard. This swing was made by Lin Shan himself when Lin Qingye was just born. Lin Qingye had been playing on this swing since he was a child.

But when Lin Qing grew up a little, he was sent out by Shen and given a separate yard, so Lin Qing never had the chance to play on the swing again.

Lin Qing was swinging leisurely on the swing, watching Nan Mingyu fiddling with the herbs in the yard with a faint smile. This scene seemed to bring her back to her childhood.

At this moment, the gate of Nan Mingyu's courtyard was pushed open with a creak, and Lin Shan strode in with an expressionless face. When he saw Lin Qingye sitting on the swing, he was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered his composure.

Nan Mingyu greeted Lin Shan cheerfully as soon as she saw him. "Master, why did you come so suddenly? Are you here for dinner today? Bao'er is here too. It's been a long time since our family has had dinner together."

Originally, concubines were not qualified to eat at the big table. They had to serve the whole family during meals. This was the case when Aunt Liu first entered the mansion. Later, after Nan Mingyu entered the mansion, Lin Shan felt sorry for Nan Mingyu and broke this rule, allowing Nan Mingyu to open a small kitchen in the courtyard. When Aunt Liu found out about it, she made a fuss and also opened a small kitchen.

From then on, each part of the mansion ate separately, and each courtyard had a small kitchen. The old lady turned a blind eye to this. After all, it was Nan Mingyu's money that was used, so she was happy to have some peace and quiet.

Lin Qingye also got off the swing at this time, bowed to Lin Shan and said, "Meet father."

Lin Shan responded in a neutral tone, "Okay then."

In fact, Lin Shan had loved Nan Mingyu very much in his early years, so he was particularly fond of their only child, Lin Qingye. However, ever since the Shen family forcibly sent Lin Qingye out of the family, the father and daughter gradually became estranged.

Aunt Liu was good at whispering, so Lin Shan often went to Aunt Liu's courtyard, or was called to Shen's courtyard by Lin Qingyao.

Therefore, the relationship between Lin Shan and Nan Mingyu has become much more distant over the years. In fact, he still likes Nan Mingyu in his heart, but he feels that Nan Mingyu is not as charming as Liu. Although she was born as a concubine, she has never been willing to be inferior to him.

He had always been bothered by the fact that everyone in the Marquis' Mansion was spending Nan Mingyu's dowry, which had greatly hurt his self-esteem. If outsiders knew that the Marquis of Pingnan's Mansion was using all of a concubine's dowry, Lin Shan would probably not even dare to leave the Mansion in the future.

This was also the reason why Lin Shan became increasingly indifferent to Nan Mingyu later on. He was afraid that others would say that he loved her so much because of Nan Mingyu's money.

Nan Mingyu was completely unaware of Lin Shan's thoughts. She was concentrating on studying pharmacology and was the head of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, so she did not notice that Lin Shan was deliberately distancing himself from her.

Nan Mingyu just thought that Lin Shan needed to treat her equally. Having lived in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion since she was a child, she was used to seeing all the things that happened in the rear quarters, so Nan Mingyu never dared to hope to be together for the rest of her life. As long as Lin Shan could let her and her daughter live a good life in the mansion, Nan Mingyu would be satisfied. After all, she had never lived such a stable life in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion since she was a child.

After Lin Shan agreed to stay for dinner, Nan Mingyu happily went to help in the kitchen. It was rare for the family of three to have dinner together tonight, so Nan Mingyu was particularly excited.

After Nan Mingyu left, only Lin Shan and his daughter Lin Qingye were left in the yard. Lin Shan sat down at the tea stool in the yard. The maid in the yard quickly brought hot tea and snacks. Lin Shan calmly picked up the teacup and drank it leisurely.

Lin Qingye returned to sit on the swing and was the first to speak, breaking the silence, saying, "Father, do you still remember that you made this swing for your daughter yourself?"

Lin Shan obviously didn't expect that Lin Qing would say such a thing without any clue. He was stunned for a moment, put down the teacup in his hand and didn't respond. No one knew what he was thinking.

After a long while, he finally said, "I heard that Ye'er fell into the water some time ago. Is he feeling better now?"

Lin Qing also nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, father. I am fine."

Hearing this, Lin Shan asked again, "Do you have anyone around you who can be of use?"

Lin Qing also seemed to realize what Lin Shan wanted to say today. She did not respond, wanting him to continue.

As expected, Lin Shan said immediately without waiting for her to reply, "Cuiyun grew up with you. Although she made a mistake and has been punished, as a father, it is better to let her return to serve you."

Lin Qingye sneered in his heart. Sure enough, Lin Shan finally said it. In fact, even if Lin Shan didn't speak today, Lin Qingye would find a chance to transfer Cuiyun back to his side. After all, Cuiyun had done so many evil things in her previous life, and Lin Qingye had no intention of letting her go.

Now that Lin Shan had spoken, she could take advantage of the situation and become their father-daughter, and it would save her the trouble. This was exactly what she wanted.

So Lin Qing also got off the swing, bowed to Lin Shan and said meekly, "Father is right. Your daughter will make the final decision based on your father's will."

Lin Shan found it unbelievable to see that Lin Qing agreed so readily. After all, many people had told him about how Lin Qing had knocked out the teeth of the old woman next to Shen in public that day.

He thought it was really as they said. Lin Qing's temperament had changed drastically since he fell into the water. Not only did he talk back to his elders, he also dared to hit people and took the initiative to let Nan Mingyu give up his power as the head of the family.

He came to Nan Mingyu today, hoping that Nan Mingyu would persuade Lin Qingye. He didn't expect that Lin Qingye would still listen to him as a father. He felt extremely relieved, and his eyes softened when he looked at Lin Qingye.

Looking at his well-behaved daughter standing beside the swing, he thought of Lin Qingye's childhood. Lin Qingye was also his youngest child. When she was just born, he treasured her like the apple of his eye.

Lin Shan still remembers when Lin Qingye had just learned to walk, he stumbled towards him and pulled him to swing on the swing. The first word Lin Qingye said was "Daddy".

Thinking of this, Lin Shan's eyes actually became moist. He looked at Lin Qingye and blurted out, "Bao'er."
