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

It was Lin Shan's favoritism towards Nan Mingyu that made Nan Mingyu the target of public criticism in the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion.

Ever since Nan Mingyu entered the mansion, Lin Shan has been living almost entirely in Nan Mingyu's west wing. Unless he goes out to court, he stays by Nan Mingyu's side almost all the time, as if Nan Mingyu would disappear if he wasn't careful.

Lin Shan stopped paying his respects to the old lady in the courtyard for many days in a row. He also told the old lady that Nan Mingyu was not in good health and exempted Nan Mingyu from paying her respects.

The old lady had long been quite dissatisfied with this. Concubine Liu would go to the old lady with Brother Yuan in her arms to complain all day long. Even Shen was full of grievances. It was enough for her to have Concubine Liu in the mansion, and now there was Nan Mingyu. But Lin Shan loved Nan Mingyu more than Concubine Liu.

According to the maid who went to inquire about the news, Lin Shan even picked out the fish bones one by one and fed them to Nan Mingyu's mouth, and he would get up early every day to draw Nan Ming's eyebrows and put on makeup.

How could Shen tolerate this? Originally, her life after marrying into the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion was going smoothly. She and Lin Shan were not very affectionate, but they treated each other with respect. As soon as she entered the mansion, she was given the power to manage the household, and soon after that she gave birth to her beloved daughter, Lin Qingyao.

Shen was originally quite satisfied with her current life, and she got along well with the old lady. However, just a few days after she gave birth to Lin Qingyao, Concubine Liu was brought to the Pingnan Marquis Mansion in a sedan chair.

Shen thought that she only needed to drink a cup of concubine tea from Aunt Liu, but she didn't expect that Nan Mingyu would come soon. Although Nan Mingyu was just a concubine, her status was much higher than hers. Although the Duke of Zhenguo had fallen, he was much better than her, the daughter of a merchant.

Originally, Concubine Liu gave birth to the first male child of the Marquis' Mansion before her. If Nan Mingyu gave birth to another male child in the future, then the title of the Marquis' Mansion would be even less likely to be passed on to her child.

What Shen Shi could not accept the most was that Nan Mingyu actually brought a huge dowry into the mansion. Now even the old lady, who had long been quite dissatisfied with Nan Mingyu, never blamed her for her dowry. Shen Shi was even more helpless about what to do with Nan Mingyu now.

After thinking about it day and night, Shen proposed a plan to the old lady. She suggested letting Nan Mingyu be the head of the family. On the one hand, Nan Mingyu's dowry could be used in the Tiebu Marquis Mansion. On the other hand, Nan Mingyu's being the head of the family could distract Lin Shan's attention in the future, so that the two of them wouldn't be stuck together all day long. Thirdly, since this matter was proposed by the old lady, Lin Shan, who loved Nan Mingyu deeply, would definitely agree immediately, and the relationship between the old lady and Lin Shan would become that of mother and son.

When the old lady heard Shen's suggestion, she immediately agreed. Originally, she decided to let Lin Shan marry Shen because she thought that as the daughter of a merchant, Shen could bring more dowry into the mansion and save the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, which had been on the verge of collapse for a long time.

But unexpectedly, the Shen family was a good-looking family with no substance. Most of the dowry brought by Shen were worthless things, and they didn't even own two shops. Ever since she knew that Nan Mingyu brought a generous dowry, the old lady had long wanted to change the head of the family, but due to face constraints, she never found a suitable opportunity to speak up.

Now that Shen actually brought up the matter herself, the old lady was naturally happy to agree to it.

Soon, with the help of the old lady and Shen, the power of the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion was transferred to Nan Mingyu.

Lin Shan had always felt guilty towards Nan Mingyu, thinking that it was unfair for her to be his concubine. He had always been thinking about finding an opportunity to make it up to Nan Mingyu, so when the old lady and Shen proposed to let Nan Mingyu be the head of the family, Lin Shan agreed to it without thinking twice and happily agreed to it.

Lin Shan's idea at that time was very simple. He felt that his wife should be the head of Pingnan Marquis Mansion. As long as Nan Mingyu became the head of the household, she would have the power as the legal wife.

Since Nan Mingyu became the housekeeper, she has been sitting at her desk looking at the account books day and night. She no longer has time to spend time with Lin Shan under the moonlight. Gradually, she begins to resent Lin Shan's lack of ambition.

Lin Shan originally wanted to work hard for Nan Mingyu, but when he started to socialize actively, he heard people outside say that he was lucky. Not only did he marry a beautiful concubine, but the concubine also brought such a generous dowry. It was said that their Pingnan Marquis Mansion has now fallen to the point where the concubine has to be the head of the family. Maybe they are eyeing the concubine's dowry.

Lin Shan took those words to heart. In addition, Nan Mingyu had been concentrating on handling the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion during this period, and gradually neglected Lin Shan.

So Lin Shan started to go out and get drunk every day, and then returned to Aunt Liu's arms. At that time, he thought that if he distanced himself a little from Nan Mingyu, Nan Mingyu would care about him more like before.

However, Lin Shan's inexplicable actions made his relationship with Nan Mingyu further and further apart, until Nan Mingyu became pregnant.

After learning the news, Lin Shan quickly came to Nan Mingyu's yard. He happily hugged Nan Mingyu and walked around in circles in the yard, as excited as if he was a father for the first time.

That night, Lin Shan lay on Nan Mingyu's bed, gently caressing her belly and said, "Yu'er, you are pregnant now. How about I go to mother tomorrow morning and ask her to take back your power as the head of the family so that you can rest assured and take care of the baby. This is our first child."

But after looking at the account books during her time as the head of the household, Nan Mingyu now understood that the mansion was already on the verge of collapse. Not only were the accounts in a mess, but even the money to the servants in the mansion could hardly be paid.

However, Nan Mingyu chose not to tell Lin Shan about these things. She wanted to silently support the precarious Pingnan Marquis Mansion for Lin Shan and to clear a way out for him so that he would have no worries.

Lin Shan was angry with Nan Mingyu for a while because of this. He felt sorry for Nan Mingyu's efforts and didn't want Nan Mingyu to stay up late every day to look at the account books while she was pregnant.

The days passed quietly in this state of tension between the two of them, and soon Nan Mingyu gave birth to a daughter for Lin Shan safely, and named her Lin Qingye.

When Nan Mingyu gave birth to Lin Qingye, she had a difficult labor for three days. Lin Shan stayed in Nan Mingyu's yard for three whole days without sleep and refused to leave.

For Lin Shan, those three days were the longest three days in his life. He paced back and forth in the yard, and he prayed to God countless times in his heart. As long as Nan Mingyu was safe this time, he was willing to give her his entire life. At this moment, he knew in his heart that he could not live without Nan Mingyu.
