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

Soon news came from the palace that the annual winter hunting would begin in two days. Not only officials and their families could participate, but some merchants who had donated money to the disaster could also participate.

The person who was the happiest when the news came out was Li Wanqing. Now she had the chance to meet Ye Tinghua again. Ever since the last time Ye Tinghua got drunk with them, he had been finding excuses to avoid Li Wanqing.

Li Wanqing went to Yetinghua's house several times to look for her, but Ye Tinghua hid and didn't see her. Yesterday, Li Wanqing waited for a whole day at Yetinghua's house, and left reluctantly until dark.

Lin Qingyao and Shen were also happy to receive the news. Shen and Lin Qingyao had specially gone out of their way to find a few jars of good wine these days, as they were worried that they would not have the chance to give them to Li Wanqing.

Now merchants can also participate in the hunting trip, so Li Wanqing will surely be there. When the time comes, I can find a chance to send the wine out. Not only can I establish a relationship with Li Wanqing, but I may even be able to play with her and the Second Prince and the others.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingyao and Shen were extremely happy. Lin Qingyao had been fiddling with the few clothes she had in the room.

Because the winter hunting will last for half a month, and the hunting ground is far away in the suburbs, it means that Lin Qingyao will have half a month to develop a good relationship with the second prince.

Lin Qingyao looked at the few dresses in front of her and couldn't help feeling a little resentful. This hunting trip was her last good chance, and she didn't know when she would have such an opportunity again.

But now her clothes and jewelry had all been pawned a few days ago, and she was reluctant to take only these few pieces of clothing with her. After thinking hard for a long time, she decided to try her luck with Lin Shan at night.

Although Lin Qingyao had never seen Lin Shan again after the incident with Nan Mingyu, she was still Lin Shan's legitimate daughter after all, and Lin Shan had been extremely fond of her.

As soon as night fell, Lin Qingyao hurried to Lin Shan's study without waiting for dinner. Before leaving, she went to the small kitchen and brought a bowl of Tremella and lotus soup.

Lin Qingyao walked briskly and soon arrived at the door of Lin Shan's study. She saw the light on in Lin Shan's study from afar.

Lin Qingyao did not knock on the door, but walked straight in with the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup. When Lin Qingyao entered, Lin Shan was writing something at the desk.

When he heard the sound of the door being pushed open and looked up, he thought it was Lin Qingye who came in. Before he could utter the word "Baoer" out of his mouth, he saw Lin Qingyao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Lin Shan seemed unable to react. He swallowed the word "Baoer" which was already at his throat with difficulty.

Lin Shan calmed down his somewhat surprised mood, stopped writing, and asked casually, "Yao'er, how come you have time to come and see daddy today? What's the matter?"

As soon as Lin Shan said this, Lin Qingyao began to tear up. She walked forward with a choked voice, handed the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup in her hand to Lin Shan, and then spoke.

"Daddy, why are you alienated from Yao'er now? Didn't Yao'er come to see you every day? Why are you saying such polite words now? You are just making Yao'er sad for nothing."

After saying that, Lin Qingyao skillfully took out a handkerchief from her bosom and pretended to wipe her tears, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.

In the past, Lin Shan was most susceptible to Lin Qingyao's tricks. Whenever Lin Qingyao pretended to wipe a few tears in front of him, Lin Shan would agree to anything she asked.

In the past, as long as Lin Qingyao didn't want the moon in the sky, Lin Shan would immediately agree to her request. After all, she was his legitimate daughter who was raised in his hands since childhood, so Lin Shan naturally doted on her more.

But at this moment, seeing Lin Qingyao crying in front of him like this, Lin Shan no longer had the same feeling of sympathy as before. He had been in contact with Lin Qingye more during this period, and gradually got to know Lin Qingye's good side.

Lin Qing had never cried in front of him like Lin Qingyao did. She handled everything on her own. But the more Lin Qing did this, the more Lin Shan felt guilty towards her in his heart.

So when faced with Lin Qingyao's coquettish behavior again, Lin Shan no longer had the doting attitude he had before. He couldn't help but frowned and asked with some impatience.

"What's the matter? Why are you crying all of a sudden? Yao'er, if you have something to say, just speak up."

After hearing Lin Shan's impatient words, Lin Qingyao looked at him in disbelief. She couldn't imagine that the father who had always doted on her would speak to her like this.

Lin Qingyao's tears were suddenly stuck in her eye sockets. She didn't know whether to keep them or wipe them away. After a long while, Lin Qingyao finally reacted and she spoke tentatively.

"Dad... are you busy with official duties today? Why are you talking to Yao'er like this? Are we really alienated from each other? Yao'er spent the whole afternoon watching the fire in the small kitchen, making this Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup for Dad."

After saying that, Lin Qingyao choked up again, but she didn't dare to cry anymore. She carefully looked at Lin Shan's expression at the moment, fearing that she would make Lin Shan unhappy again.

Lin Shan looked at the steaming Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup beside him, then looked at Lin Qingyao who was standing beside him with tears in her eyes. Finally, he couldn't bear to blame her anymore, so he sighed softly.

"Too many things have happened these days. Your father has been really exhausted. Yao'er, please don't take it to heart..."

Lin Qingyao immediately perked up when she saw this. She hurriedly walked behind Lin Shan and massaged his shoulders considerately, speaking as she did so.

"Dad, you are being so distant when you say that. How could Yao'er be upset with you? Yao'er is just mad at herself for not being a boy. She can't share your worries. She can only stew some nourishing food for you to make you happy."

After Lin Qingyao said this, Lin Shan felt very unhappy, and his prejudice against Lin Qingyao just disappeared immediately.

At this moment, Lin Shan was enjoying Lin Qingyao's shoulder massage and couldn't help but feel in his heart that although Lin Qingyao was Shen's daughter, she was truly the most caring one among his three children. She was filial and could make him happy.

Seeing that Lin Shan looked very happy at the moment, Lin Qingyao knew that she had made the right bet today, so she immediately struck while the iron was hot.

"Dad, there will be a winter hunt in two days. Will you go and join us?"

Lin Shan narrowed his eyes and answered without thinking, "Daddy has asked for leave from the Emperor. Mingyu has not been feeling well recently, and Daddy wants to stay in the mansion to take care of her."

When Lin Qingyao heard Nan Mingyu's name, a nameless fire suddenly ignited in her heart, but at this moment she tried her best to control her emotions and inquired in a low voice.

"Dad, did Nan Xiaoniang really get sick because she was caught in the snow in Mother's yard that day?"
