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

Lin Qingyao obviously didn't react, and the handkerchief in her hand was ruthlessly stepped on and trampled on by Lin Shan.

Although each of Lin Shan's steps was stepping on Lin Qingyao's handkerchief, it was more like stepping on Lin Qingyao's self-esteem.

Without her handkerchief, Lin Qingyao was crying and ready to run out of the door, but was immediately stopped by Lin Shan. Perhaps Lin Qingyao's mention of Nan Mingyu just now touched Lin Shan's sore spot, or perhaps Lin Qingyao's petty attitude just now made Lin Shan angry.

Lin Shan grabbed the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup that Lin Qingyao had sent him and threw it heavily on the ground, scolding harshly.

"You are not allowed to go anywhere today. Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down to reflect on your actions. Get rid of your petty-mindedness in front of the ancestral tablets! Our Pingnan Marquis Mansion has been loyal and upright since ancient times. How could we raise someone like you?"

Lin Qingyao was frightened by Lin Shan's inexplicable anger. She felt aggrieved and angry at the moment. She didn't understand why Lin Shan turned against her so suddenly.

In the past, her father loved her the most. As long as she cried, Lin Shan would want to pick the stars in the sky and give them to her.

Lin Qingyao's tears were welling up in her eyes at this moment. She clenched her hands tightly, trying hard to control the tears from flowing out.

The more Lin Shan thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He knew in his heart that Lin Qingye and Nan Mingyu would probably leave Kyoto after the New Year. In the past, with the support of Nan Mingyu's dowry, the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion could still get by like this.

But now, without Nan Mingyu's dowry, the Marquis's Mansion seemed so shaky, and he himself was now depressed and frustrated in the court.

Perhaps it was because the emperor allowed Lin Shan to marry Nan Mingyu. Even though Lin Shan had some abilities, any suggestions he made in the court would be rejected by the emperor every time. However, if others made the same suggestion, it would be adopted.

Over time, Lin Shan gradually became an invisible figure in the court, and sometimes he would even forget to ask for leave and not go to the court without being noticed.

Lin Shan suddenly began to fear that after Nan Mingyu and Lin Qing left, the Pingnan Marquis Mansion would decline in his generation.

That's why he was so angry with Lin Qingyao for not fighting for it. In Lin Shan's eyes, Lin Qingyao was a smart child who knew how to read people's expressions, but she turned her strengths into weaknesses, which was something Lin Shan could not understand.

Lin Shan felt that this was how his life would be. After Lin Qingye and Nan Mingyu left, the hope of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion could only be placed on Lin Qingyuan and Lin Qingyao.

He firmly believed in his heart that with Lin Qingyao's appearance and talent, as long as her behavior was corrected, she would be able to marry into a wealthy family in the future.

But Lin Qingyao's timid behavior was so unpresentable that Lin Shan became angrier and angrier. He walked away in anger, leaving Lin Qingyao kneeling on the ground, crying with her face covered.

After Lin Shan left the study, he went straight to Aunt Liu's yard. At this moment, Aunt Liu was drinking alone in the room, trying to have fun in the midst of suffering.

Xue Ding has been coming to Aunt Liu to ask for money frequently these days. Aunt Liu herself is already in trouble at this moment, and the money she borrowed from an underground money lender is barely enough to pay the interest.

When Lin Shan kicked the door open, Aunt Liu was holding a wine glass, thinking about how to quickly get some money to solve the current problem.

Suddenly there was a loud "bang" and the tightly locked door was kicked open. Aunt Liu was so startled that the wine glass in her hand fell to the ground.

Lin Shan kicked the door open with a look of anger on his face. Seeing Lin Shan's reaction, Aunt Liu thought that her borrowing of money from the bank had been exposed, so she knelt down without saying a word.

Aunt Liu looked at Lin Shan with a look of horror. She couldn't figure out what was going on, so she just called him "Master" in a delicate voice and didn't dare to speak again.

Seeing that Aunt Liu was so submissive, Lin Shan's anger subsided a little, and he sat down next to Aunt Liu who was kneeling.

Upon seeing this, Aunt Liu immediately stepped forward and hugged Lin Shan's thigh, and called out tenderly, "Master..."

However, at this moment, Lin Shan's mind was full of the good-for-nothing Lin Qingyuan, her son, so Lin Shan asked directly.

"Where is your worthless son? Why hasn't he returned home yet? He just wanders around all day and can't even pass the imperial examination. I think the Pingnan Marquisate will be ruined by him in the future!"

When Aunt Liu heard that Lin Shan was asking about Lin Qingyuan, her heart was instantly at ease. She stretched out her little hands and carefully placed them on Lin Shan's legs.

"Master... you are so angry about Yuan'er's matter, be careful not to get sick from anger. I have sent someone to send a letter to Yuan'er. I believe Yuan'er will be back in the next two days. Master, please don't get angry, your health is more important..."

Aunt Liu's flattering words did comfort Lin Shan a little, but he was still very angry when he thought of Lin Qingyuan not being home all day.

Lin Shan was about to get angry again when a servant outside came with a message that the eldest master had returned.

After hearing this, Aunt Liu and Lin Shan stood up together. Aunt Liu was also annoyed with Lin Qingyuan at the moment. Aunt Liu had always disliked Chen Yanyu, but Lin Qingyuan still doted on her very much.

In order to prevent Aunt Liu from causing trouble for Chen Yanyu, Lin Qingyuan specially took Chen Yanyu out for a trip. At this moment, Aunt Liu wished she could skin Chen Yanyu alive.

Before Lin Shan could speak, Aunt Liu ran out in a hurry. Lin Shan immediately reacted and hurriedly chased after her.

Aunt Liu was already upset about the money issue, and Lin Shan had just scolded her for no apparent reason, so she now blamed everything on Chen Yanyu.

When Aunt Liu ran into the yard, she picked up a small stick. She ran towards Lin Qingyuan's room angrily with the stick in her hand.

At this moment, Lin Qingyuan had just sat down. His bones were shaken by the long journey and he just wanted to take a quick bath and have a comfortable sleep.

Just as Lin Qingyuan was enjoying a cup of hot tea, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Aunt Liu rushed in with a small stick in her hand, looking angry.

Before Lin Qingyuan could react, Aunt Liu picked up a small stick and started beating him all over the head and face, making Lin Shan scream.

"Mother! Mother! Mother, stop it! Mother! Mother! Stop hitting me! Mother!"

Aunt Liu might have been really angry this time. She had beaten Lin Qingyuan before, but her actions were always just a lot of noise but little result. She just casually hit his palm with a bamboo stick.

But this time she was really using all her strength to hit him, and every blow almost hit his flesh. Lin Qingyuan soon couldn't bear it anymore. At this moment Lin Shan also rushed over. He took the opportunity to grab the stick that Aunt Liu had knocked down and shouted at Lin Shan.

"Daddy! Save me! Mommy is going to beat me to death!"
