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

Just one day after Nan Mingyu took the medicine, her whole body withered quickly like a flower that had lost its water.

Seeing this, Qiu Ju couldn't help but ask Lin Qingye with some concern, "Miss...Is it okay for me to take this medicine?"

In fact, Lin Qingye has become extremely distrustful of people since her rebirth. The reason why she trusts Doctor Zhou is only because Doctor Zhou is trusted by Ye Tingxuan. She trusts Ye Tingxuan unconditionally, so Lin Qingye will trust anyone who belongs to Ye Tingxuan.

Lin Qingye has been guarding Nan Mingyu in her room for the past two days. After taking the medicine, Nan Mingyu would wake up for a while every few hours. As soon as she woke up, Lin Qingye would sit beside her bed, hold her hand and comfort her softly.

Nan Mingyu is the most important person in this world to Lin Qingye. Nan Mingyu lived a very hard life in her previous life. She spent her whole life giving to the people around her, but in the end she ended up with a ruined reputation and a tragic death.

The happiest moment in Nan Mingyu's life should be the few years after she was born in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Her mother, Gulan, Lin Qingye's grandmother from the Western Regions, became pregnant with Nan Mingyu as soon as she was brought back from the Western Regions by the old Duke of Zhenguo.

The old Duke of Zhenguo had only one wife and never had a concubine in his life. He and his wife Huang had five sons but never a daughter.

So when Gulan gave birth to Nan Mingyu, the old Duke Zhenguo was extremely happy and even named her Mingyu. He thought having a daughter was like having Mingyu, and he wanted to love her like a pearl and a treasure.

He also booked the best restaurant in Kyoto and treated the people of the city to free meals for seven days and seven nights. Nan Mingyu's full moon banquet was held with great ceremony by the old Duke Zhenguo, and even the emperor at that time sent people to give gifts.

After Nan Mingyu was born, the old Duke Zhenguo asked all the monks in Qingshan Temple to recite scriptures for more than a month in order to pray for Nan Mingyu.

Nan Mingyu's biological mother, Gulan, has always lived a secluded life. Even the servants in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion have rarely seen her, so there are very few rumors about Gulan in the outside world. All people know is that she is a rare beauty with a stunning appearance.

It is said that when the current emperor was still a prince, he met Gulan once when celebrating Nan Mingyu's birthday. Since then, the emperor has only loved women from the Western Regions. After he ascended the throne, he has collected many Western concubines in his harem, and the emperor is extremely fond of those Western concubines.

In the years after Nan Mingyu was born, the old Duke Zhenguo was extremely fond of her. He hired ten maids to take care of her, and a dozen servants to serve her. He was even more doting on her biological mother, Gulan. He would send her yard first with all the good things he had, and treated her like the apple of his eye.

The incident happened when Nan Mingyu was four years old. That year, the old Duke Zhenguo went on a long journey and no one knew where he went. When he returned home not long after, his temperament had changed drastically. Not only did he sell out several maids and servants who served Gulan personally, he also withdrew all the maids and servants around Nan Mingyu.

The four-year-old Nan Mingyu suddenly fell from the clouds into the quagmire. From the age of four to five, Nan Mingyu lived with Gulan.

That year, she and Gulan were thrown into a small courtyard on the west side of the Zhenguo Mansion. The courtyard was built by the eldest master of the Zhenguo Mansion to raise dogs. Later, the courtyard was vacant after the eldest master went out to fight.

When Nan Mingyu and Gulan first moved in, the roof was leaking, and the courtyard wall was in disrepair and would collapse at the slightest touch.

It was summer when they moved in. The yard was overgrown with weeds and infested with snakes, insects, rats and ants. That year, Nan Mingyu's playmates became flying insects and ants.

At that time, Nan Mingyu and Gulan raised a little mouse together. They kept the mouse in a large rice jar. In just half a year, the mouse, which was only two fingers big, grew to the size of a full-month-old kitten.

When Nan Mingyu and Gulan first moved into the courtyard, servants would bring them some rotten food every two or three days, but after the summer, no one brought them any food anymore.

In autumn, Nan Mingyu and Gulan lived on wild vegetables in the yard. After they had finished eating the wild vegetables, they began to eat wild grass. When winter was about to come, even wild grass could not be seen in the yard.

It snowed heavily that day. The young Nan Mingyu fainted in Gulan's arms due to hunger. When she woke up, she smelled a strange fragrance. Gulan roasted the mouse named Zhizhi that they raised together.

Zhizhi was eaten by Nanmingyu and Gulan for a week. In the last two days, they boiled water with the leftover bones and added grass roots dug from the yard.

In fact, although Nan Mingyu had a hard life that year, she was still happy because she had her mother by her side day and night.

Every night, Gulan would hug Nanmingyu and tell her all kinds of stories from the Western Regions. He would also teach her to speak the Western dialect. The young Nanmingyu was always deeply attracted by Gulan's strange stories.

At that time, Nan Mingyu, who was lying in Gulan's arms, always opened her big eyes and asked Gulan innocently, "Mother, when can Yu'er go back to the Western Regions with mother? Yu'er likes the Western Regions, Yu'er doesn't like it here."

At this time, Gulan would always hug Nan Mingyu and cry silently. Gulan would always sing a Western ballad late at night. Nan Mingyu could not understand the meaning of the ballad sung by Gulan, but she could feel the sadness revealed in the ballad.

Gulan told Nan Mingyu that her mother had told her a story about a dragon man when she was young. On every full moon day, a male dragon man would appear on the sea and sing to attract beautiful female people. Then they would dance together on the sea. If lovers saw this scene, they would grow old together and be a pair for the rest of their lives.

Gulan said that when she was young, she saw dragons dancing on the sea with a boy, but she did not stay with that boy for the rest of her life as her mother had said.

Nan Mingyu blinked her big eyes and looked at Nan Mingyu innocently and asked, "Mother, is the boy who saw the dragon man dancing with you your father?"

Gulan smiled and touched Nan Mingyu's head and said gently, "He is a father and he is not a father."

Nan Mingyu could never understand the meaning of this sentence. Even many years later, when she reached the age of 15, got married, and gave birth to a daughter of her own, she often thought of the ambiguous words her mother had said to her when she was a child when she missed her mother at night.

"He is not a father."

The winter of that year was exceptionally long, so long that the young Nan Mingyu thought that he and his mother would stay in that winter forever.

That winter, Gulan would get up every day and take Nan Mingyu to dig grass roots in the yard. Sometimes they would dig out a few hibernating cicadas in the ground. At that time, they would excitedly roast them and eat them. This would make the mother and daughter happy for the whole day, and even thinking about it at night when they went to bed made them feel happy.
