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

After Lin Qing left Shen's courtyard, he went straight to Lin Shan's study and waited for Lin Shan to come back.

Lin Qing also sat in front of Lin Shan's desk, picked up the grinding wheel on the desk and started grinding gently. In fact, she still had some feelings for Lin Shan as her father, and Lin Shan treated her very well when she was young.

But she didn't know why Lin Shan gradually stopped being close to Nan Mingyu, and also stopped treating her well. When she was a child, she could never understand why, and she couldn't understand it in her previous life either.

But after her rebirth, she gradually figured all these things out. Lin Shan loved Nan Mingyu, but he couldn't stand the fact that the Pingnan Marquis Mansion had to rely on Nan Mingyu's dowry to survive.

In addition, with the comparison and provocation of Aunt Liu, although Nan Mingyu always tries to please Lin Shan, her flattery is different from that of Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu is always humble and submissive, while Nan Mingyu only treats people foolishly.

For example, Nan Mingyu would buy clothes for Lin Shan, take care of the old lady on his behalf, help Lin Shan to get along with his colleagues, and use her own money to pave the way for Lin Shan in officialdom. If Lin Shan came back today and said which dish he had eaten outside was delicious, that dish would appear on Lin Shan's dinner table the next day.

Madam Liu would only massage Lin Shan's legs and shoulders while leaning over his feet and saying in a delicate voice, "Master, I saw a hairpin yesterday. Can you buy it for me?"

Or maybe, "Master, I bought a new bellyband today. Can I wear it for you later?"

"Master, you must take care of yourself. If anything happens to you, I will die. You are my heaven."

During the past two days when guarding Nan Mingyu's room, Lin Qing also figured out a lot of things, including why Nan Mingyu in her previous life ended up like this. Nan Mingyu was a concubine, but she did everything that a wife should do.

However, the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion already has a principal wife, and also a concubine who is completely opposite to her, so Nan Mingyu's situation in the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion is so embarrassing, and she is neither popular nor unpopular.

From the moment Lin Shan took Nan Mingyu into the Marquis' Mansion, he positioned her as a concubine. All he needed was a concubine. If Nan Mingyu could learn to behave like Aunt Liu, her and Lin Qing's life in this Marquis' Mansion would be much better.

Lin Qingye had been grinding the ink stick in her hand until the ink was about to overflow. She wasn't paying attention and the ink got on her hands. Just as Lin Qingye picked up a piece of straw paper to wipe the ink off her hands, Lin Shan happened to push the door open.

Seeing this, Lin Shan frowned and shouted seriously, "Lin Qingye! What are you doing!"

Lin Qing also casually crumpled the straw paper he had used to wipe his hands into a ball, threw it gently on the table and said, "Daddy is back."

Lin Shan walked up to Lin Qingye in a bad mood and said, "Why did you come here so late at night? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Lin Qing also bowed slightly to Lin Shan and said, "Dad, my little mother was caught in the snow in my mother's yard that day. She was cold. Did you go to see her?"

Hearing Lin Qing mention Nan Mingyu, Lin Shan's tone softened slightly and said, "I heard Yao'er talk about this. Didn't she call the court doctor? Your father is busy with affairs in the court, and now there are disaster victims in the capital. Although the third prince donated grain and temporarily stabilized the situation, the emperor is still worried about where the disaster victims will go. As a subject of the emperor, your father must share his worries, so I'll trouble you to be more filial to your mother."

Lin Shan's words at this time were flawless, polite and decent, as if he could really do much to help the victims.

Lin Qingye couldn't help but feel amused after hearing this, and also felt sad for Nan Mingyu. Lin Qingye also said, "Father, I have been working hard for the Marquis' Mansion. This time, I am also ill from overwork. I am afraid that I can't take on the responsibility of being the head of the family. Please have mercy on me, father, and let someone else take charge of the family!"

Lin Shan couldn't help but frown when he heard this. At this moment, he didn't know that Lin Qingye went to Shen's courtyard this afternoon to settle Nan Mingyu's dowry, but he was also very dissatisfied with Lin Qingye's words.

Lin Shan poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Your wife just caught a cold, it's not a serious illness, why are you saying all this?"

Lin Qing also took out a handkerchief from his bosom and gently wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Daddy, why don't you come with me to see my young lady before making a decision?"

Lin Shan looked at Lin Qingye in confusion, and immediately had doubts in his heart. Could something have happened to Nanming Yuzhen? But that day, Lin Qingyao told Shen that it was just a cold.

Lin Shan cleared his throat and said, "Is your mother...seriously ill?"

Lin Qing couldn't help but feel amused and said, "Daddy, please come with me to see my little girl."

Seeing this, Lin Shan had no choice but to agree to Lin Qingye's request. He stood up and followed her to Nan Mingyu's west wing.

The cold wind on a night when the snow had melted was like steel needles piercing people's bodies. Lin Shan couldn't help but shiver in the cold wind. Lin Qing was walking in front and behind Lin Shan.

Lin Qing suddenly interrupted the silence and said, "Daddy, are you cold? It's so cold, and I've been standing in my mother's yard all afternoon in thin clothes!"

Lin Shan could hear the sarcasm in Lin Qingye's words, and he said unhappily, "It was your wife who wanted to stand up on her own, and no one forced her to do so. Why are you acting so sarcastic now? Are you trying to get justice for her?"

Seeing that Lin Qing did not respond, Lin Shan was immediately furious and said angrily, "And that day you actually dared to attack with a knife in your mother's yard. Do you really think that our Pingnan Marquis Mansion has no rules? I didn't look for you because I thought your mother was still sick, but it doesn't mean that the matter is over!

"Lin Qingye, you are really getting bolder now. Have you forgotten all those Four Books and Five Classics, Women's Virtues and Women's Precepts you read? Look at you now, fighting and killing all day long!"

Lin Qing couldn't help but think of what Shen said to her in the afternoon, so she immediately replied, "Like what? Daddy wants to say that I look like a bandit woman, right?"

Lin Shan snorted coldly and said with disdain, "Even a bandit woman may not be capable of cutting off someone's tendons. I think you look like a bandit leader! Fortunately, Liu Po ​​is your mother's woman, and the indenture contract is in your mother's hands. Otherwise, if they report it to the authorities, you would be clean and ready to go to jail! I...I...I...Why did I give birth to such a thing as you!"
