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

The next morning, Lin Qing got up early and went to Nan Mingyu's courtyard after breakfast.

As soon as Lin Qing entered the room, he saw Lin Shan twisting a handkerchief and carefully wiping Nan Mingyu's face. Nan Mingyu was already awake at this time.

As soon as Nan Mingyu saw Lin Qing, he couldn't wait to sit up and said, "Bao'er, please try to persuade your father. He hasn't been to court for a few days. What can we do about this?"

Lin Qing also came to Nan Mingyu's side, took the handkerchief from Lin Shan's hand, wiped Nan Mingyu's hands and said, "Mother, Dad has already asked for leave, please let him accompany you more."

Although Nan Mingyu was still thin at this time, her complexion was much better than before, and her face looked much rosier than before.

Under the care of Lin Qingye and Lin Shan, Nan Mingyu drank the medicine and reluctantly ate some bird's nest porridge before lying down to rest.

While Nan Mingyu was resting, Lin Shan called Nan Mingyu to the yard to talk. Lin Qing was still sitting on the swing, just like when he was a child.

Lin Qing also sat leisurely on the swing, gently pushing the swing with his toes and asked nonchalantly, "Dad, there is a night banquet in the palace today, don't you plan to attend the banquet?"

Lin Shan sat on a tea chair in the courtyard. He looked much thinner than the day before, but his expression was gentler. He took a sip of tea and asked, "Bao'er, are these unfamiliar faces around you from the Sixth Prince's residence?"

Lin Qing did not intend to hide it from Lin Shan. Seeing that he already knew, he simply answered straight to the point, "These are the people who can be used by the Sixth Prince. Daddy, if you have anything to worry about, just leave it to them."

After hearing this, Lin Shan's brows knitted together, and his tone became a little stiff, "Bao'er, have you forgotten what Daddy told you the other day? The one who wanted your mother's life was either the current Queen Mother or the Queen, both of whom are the Sixth Prince's closest relatives. How could you still be so close to him? And let his people take such close care of your mother? How could you be so careless?"

Lin Qing also looked at Lin Shan's majestic expression, as if he was really angry. Although Lin Shan had scolded her like this in the past, this was the first time that Lin Shan scolded her for Nan Mingyu. Lin Qingyao couldn't help feeling relieved.

Lin Qingyao quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, Daddy. I know what's going on. You'll understand in the future. The Sixth Prince has already investigated Mom's affairs. I'll be attending a banquet at the palace today, and I'll find a chance to investigate then."

Lin Shan didn't feel relieved after hearing this. Instead, his brows furrowed even deeper. "How are you going to enter the palace? As an unmarried woman, you are not allowed to enter the palace to attend the banquet without the guidance of the mistress."

Lin Qing also chuckled. She stood up and walked to Lin Shan's side, bowed slightly to him and said, "Of course, my mother will take me to the palace. Daddy, don't worry about these things. Your daughter will take care of it. Daddy, just concentrate on accompanying my mother."

Speaking of Nan Mingyu, Lin Shan's face instantly showed a barely perceptible warmth, but as if he thought of something, his expression immediately darkened. He rubbed his forehead and said seriously.

"Bao'er, you are grown up now and have your own ideas. I can't control you in many things. I have heard about what you have done these days. I know that the Marquis' Mansion has wronged your mother and you over the years, so I can understand why you do these things now.

But as a father, I only have a few requests. First, no matter what time, you must not hurt your grandmother. Although your grandmother cannot be said to be very good to you, she has never treated you harshly since you were a child, nor has she hurt your mother.

Second, you must not do anything to hurt your siblings. Daddy does not expect the three of you to love and care for each other, but Daddy does not want to see you killing each other in his lifetime.

Third, no matter what you do, I hope you can put the reputation of Pingnan Marquis Mansion first and always remember that you are the daughter of Pingnan Marquis Mansion."

After hearing this, Lin Qingye agreed without thinking. She knew Lin Shan in her heart. He could do this and turn a blind eye to Lin Qingye's interference in the family affairs of Pingnan Marquis Mansion. It was already his biggest concession.

Besides, in this life, Lin Qingyao has not yet achieved the level she had in her previous life, so Lin Qing has no intention of saying anything to Lin Shan. She will do some things secretly herself.

Seeing that Lin Qingye had become so humble in front of him, Lin Shan felt a little uncomfortable. He stood up and cleared his throat.

"You can handle the rest of the matter yourself. I won't care. I see that you have your own ideas now. I won't go to the banquet tonight, but if you have any news about your mother, you must tell me as soon as possible."

After saying that, Lin Shan returned to Nan Mingyu's room as if relieved. These days, Lin Shan asked people to move a lot of books from his study. When Nan Mingyu fell asleep, he sat beside her and quietly read those books.

Lin Shan seemed to like days like these, as if he had returned to the time when Nan Mingyu had just entered the mansion. Everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful, as if there were only the two of them left in the world.

After Lin Qingye left Nan Mingyu's yard, he immediately brought Yingyue to Shen and Lin Qingyao's yard.

When he pushed open the gate, he saw Xiyun teasing the parrot that Shen had raised with a feather. The parrot was shouting, "The bandits are coming! The bandits are coming!"

Xiyun held up a feather that had fallen from the parrot and threatened, "If you scream again, I'll pluck out all your feathers!"

Shen and Lin Qingyao had been locked up for a few days and now looked sick. They had no maids or servants to serve them these days and had to do everything by themselves.

Shen was fine, but Lin Qingyao was raised by Shen since she was a child. She had no less than ten maids and servants serving her since she was a child. These days, she could be said to be living a life of misery.

She had no place to vent her anger. The room was almost emptied by Yingyue and the others. There was nothing left to smash. The old woman was left speechless.

The old woman whose chin was broken by Xiyun, after being beaten several times by Lin Qingyao, no longer came forward to serve, but turned around and followed Xiyun around.

Lin Qingyao has not been eating or sleeping well these days. Every day she eats a few side dishes made by Shen herself, and she looks much thinner.

Originally, Lin Qingyao had to bathe and change clothes every day, but these days, there was not even a maid to boil water for her. Shen was not someone who could do heavy work, so she could only boil a bucket of water every day, which she could barely use to wash her face.

It was winter now, and the water in the well was so cold that it made people shiver. The firewood prepared in the kitchen had already been burned by Xiyun in the yard for heating. Shen could only chop the wood herself. Her hands were sore from chopping, but she could not chop more than a few pieces of wood.
