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

Lin Qing still didn't dare to tell Lin Shan all his plans for the time being, even though Lin Shan had just shown such deep affection. With the lessons learned from his previous life, Lin Qing didn't dare to trust anyone casually, not even his own father.

Lin Qing also told Lin Shan everything Zhou Chong had told her, as well as the results of Yingyue and Yingxue's investigation.

After hearing this, Lin Shan recalled the incident of the bracelet. It was a hollow jade bracelet with carved patterns on white jade. Lin Shan remembered that this bracelet was given to Nan Mingyu by the disciplinary nanny who was sent by the Empress Dowager to discipline Nan Mingyu.

Lin Shan asked Nan Mingyu at the back door, and Nan Mingyu only said that this bracelet was given by the Queen Mother and there were scriptures engraved on it so that she would remember the Emperor's grace.

So Nan Mingyu knew early on that there was something wrong with the bracelet. Then why did Nan Mingyu still wear the bracelet on her hand day and night? Was it the Queen Mother's order?

After listening to Lin Qingye's words, Lin Shan fell into deep thought. He connected all the things together in his mind and pondered them carefully over and over again.

Lin Shan remained silent for a long time, tears welling up in his eyes. He seemed to understand why Nan Mingyu was becoming increasingly distant from him. Nan Mingyu had known from the beginning that the bracelet was poisonous and that the Queen Mother wanted her life.

This was also the reason why Nan Mingyu had agreed to send Lin Qing out to live in a separate courtyard, why Nan Mingyu would deliberately stay away from Lin Shan whenever he wanted to stay overnight in her room, and why Nan Mingyu was no longer close to her. All these questions seemed to be explained at this moment.

At this moment, Lin Shan hugged Nan Mingyu tighter in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his body. He felt regretful and blamed himself.

He blamed himself for not finding out everything in time, for not understanding Nan Mingyu's insincerity during those years, and for not understanding what Nan Mingyu did.

He has always blamed Nan Mingyu and resented her, but he has never cared about why she changed and never investigated it. It was his cowardice and incompetence at that time that made Nan Mingyu endure the pain alone for so many years.

At this moment, Lin Shan felt that he was even less worthy of Nan Mingyu. Not only was he not worthy of having her, he was even less worthy of her friendship for him over the years, and he was even not worthy of being a human being.

Lin Qing, who was standing by, also noticed Lin Shan's sudden change of mood and stood there at a loss. Lin Qing was really puzzled by Lin Shan tonight.

After venting his emotions, Lin Shan gently put Nan Mingyu down, and then motioned Lin Qing to go out of the yard with him.

Lin Qing also left Cui Xi in the room to take care of Nan Mingyu, and then followed Lin Shan into the yard.

Lin Shan sat on a tea stool in the courtyard and said directly, "Bao'er, do you have a way to take your mother away?"

Lin Qingyao was confused by Lin Shan's question. She asked back, "Dad was worried about Mom's health just now? Why are you talking about this again now?"

Lin Shan chuckled and said, "Do you really think your father is old? From your expression and actions just now, I know that you must have found a good doctor for your mother. Your mother's condition should be within the range of your control. Otherwise, with your current temper, I'm afraid you would have made a big fuss with Pingnan Hou."

Lin Qing was also a little embarrassed by what Lin Shan said and scratched his head, but he still didn't intend to tell her his plan. Instead, he asked again, "Dad, why are you so abnormal today? Don't you always dislike Mom?"

Lin Shan didn't look at Lin Qingye but stared at the bright moon in the sky and said to himself, "Yes and no."

Seeing that Lin Qing didn't respond, Lin Shan told her everything about himself and Nan Mingyu, including his first meeting with Nan Mingyu and the changes in Nan Mingyu that he had just guessed.

And why Nan Mingyu let the young Lin Qingye live in a separate courtyard, and why he distanced himself from Lin Qingye.

After listening to Lin Shan's words, Lin Qing felt a surge of strong emotions in his heart that could not be calmed for a long time.

It turned out that she knew so little about Nan Mingyu. Even her father, whom she thought didn't care about Nan Mingyu at all, knew her better than she did.

Clearly, she was the one who found out about the bracelet, but she had never thought about it in this direction. Her mind was filled with only thoughts of finding the murderer and seeking revenge.

I have never thought about it like Lin Shan did, and I have never thought about how Nan Mingyu has spent the past few decades. Faced with Lin Shan's estrangement and her daughter's absence, she must miss them late at night.

It turned out that the cowardly, cautious, and submissive Nan Mingyu in her eyes actually carried so much on his shoulders alone.

Thinking back to his past life, he always blamed Nan Mingyu for being powerless, for not being able to raise him since he was a child, for not being able to fight for him, and for making his life so miserable since he was a child.

It turned out that Nan Mingyu had been secretly protecting Lin Qingye and Lin Shan. Lin Qingye's eyes were already filled with tears. She and Lin Shan looked at each other, and Lin Shan stood up and walked to Lin Qingye's side, gently holding her in his arms, just like when Lin Qingye was a child.

At this moment, the iceberg that had always stood between Lin Shan and Lin Qingye, father and daughter, had quietly melted.

Lin Shan gently stroked Lin Qingye's head and said, "Bao'er, your father has let down your mother and you. Daddy will make it up to you in the future."

Lin Qing didn't say anything, but shook his head gently, his inner emotions still difficult to calm down.

Lin Shan looked gloomy and continued, "The most urgent task now is to find out whether the Queen Mother or the Empress wanted this bracelet. Also, since they want your mother's life, she cannot stay in this Kyoto city. We have to find a way to get your mother out."

After hearing this, Lin Qing wiped the tears from her face and asked in confusion, "Dad, are you saying that the palace has sent people to keep an eye on mom? We can't even take mom away from Pingnan Marquis's Mansion?"

After hearing this, Lin Shan frowned and said, "We can't jump to conclusions so directly. There are several doubts in this matter that we need to investigate clearly.

The first thing is to find out whether the person who attacked your mother was the Queen Mother or the Empress.

Second, since you knew your mother was a medical practitioner, why did you still give her the medicine?

Third, why do we need to use chronic poison?

Fourth, did the person who drugged me send someone to watch over me at Pingnan Marquis's residence? "

Lin Qing also looked at Lin Shan, who was analyzing the matter very clearly at this moment, and couldn't help but change his impression of him a lot. Lin Shan could sort out the matter in an instant and point out the problem quickly. He really shouldn't be the unambitious and mediocre Marquis of Pingnan as others said.
