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

After returning to the room, Lin Qing also sat in front of the window sill and began to grind ink, secretly calculating in his heart, "If Lin Qingyao really thinks that the child in Cuiyun's belly is the Third Prince, I'm afraid there will be some trouble. Then the Third Prince probably won't have the energy to make plans with me for a while, so the next person to collect interest will be Lin Qingyao."

In her previous life, she had always been tolerant of her elder sister, allowing her to step on her to climb up step by step. Lin Qingyao had always relied on her status as the eldest daughter of the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion to suppress and humiliate her everywhere.

Lin Qing had always felt inferior because of her status as a concubine's daughter. She never dared to resist and kept trying to please them, which allowed them to take advantage of her completely. In the end, she ended up being torn to pieces.

Although the Pingnan Marquis Mansion looks bright and beautiful on the outside, it has actually been crumbling for a long time. Over the years, it has been relying on the dowry of Lin Qingye's mother, Nan Mingyu, for subsidies. In addition, Nan Mingyu has also been giving money and land to the Zhenguo Duke Mansion to curry favor.

Long ago, Lin Qingye's grandmother left behind a huge fortune, which had been secretly hidden outside until Nan Mingyu married into the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion as a concubine. Only then did Lin Qingye's grandmother's confidants come to the house and add all the fortune to Nan Mingyu's dowry.

When the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion learned that there was such a large fortune, there was a commotion for a while, but the dowry had already been added, and there was no way to snatch it away openly, so they secretly resented Nan Mingyu in their hearts.

This is why Nan Mingyu has been secretly giving money and land to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to curry favor with him. However, it is also thanks to these dowries that Nan Mingyu's life in the Marquis of Pingnan's Mansion is much better. The old lady even specially gave the power to manage the family to Nan Mingyu.

This person who looks good as the head of the household to outsiders is actually just a person who helps to fill the holes in Pingnan Marquis Mansion. Although Nan Mingyu has the title of head of the household, in fact, the mansion only comes to her for money. Other matters are still in the hands of Lin Qingyao's mother, the first wife Shen.

This Shen's maternal family was a wealthy merchant in Jiangnan in their early years. Her mother and the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion were close friends, so they were arranged to be married to each other early on. Later, although the family fell into poverty, the old lady still allowed Lin Qingye's father to marry Shen because of their early friendship. They thought that a lean camel was bigger than a horse, but who would have thought that Shen didn't have much dowry at all. Not only did she not help the Marquis' Mansion at all after marrying into it, but she also got the reputation of marrying the daughter of a merchant.

Although Shen was not beautiful, she had the gentleness of a Jiangnan girl, so Lin Qingye's father Lin Shan always treated her with respect.

Later, when Shen was giving birth to Lin Qingyao, she suffered a heavy hemorrhage and almost lost half her life. The old Marquis of Pingnan sent a letter to invite an imperial physician from the palace. The imperial physician worked for a long time and finally saved her life, but diagnosed that she would not be able to have children in the future. When the old lady found out, she immediately arranged to take a concubine for Lin Shan.

She is the second concubine of the Marquis' Mansion, Liu. Liu is the concubine's daughter of a sixth-rank official, and can be considered a distant relative of the old lady.

One year after Liu married into the Marquis's Mansion, she gave birth to a son, who is now the only young master of the Marquis's Mansion, Lin Qingyuan. He was registered under Shen's name in his early years, so he is also the legitimate son of the Marquis's Mansion.

Although Lin Qingyuan was registered under Shen's name, he was always raised by Liu, which shows how much Lin Shan loves Liu.

That is, in the year when Lin Qingyuan was born, the old Duke of Zhenguo decided to give Nan Mingyu to Lin Shan as a concubine in order to win over the Pingnan Marquisate.

After Liu found out, she had a big fight with Lin Shan. Finally, in order to appease Liu, Lin Shan agreed to register her son Lin Qingyuan under Shen's name, give him the title of the eldest son, and let Liu raise him personally. Only then did Liu give up and agreed.

In this way, Nan Mingyu entered the Pingnan Marquis Mansion as a concubine with a huge dowry. Lin Shan was overjoyed when he learned about the dowry Nan Mingyu brought. He was even more attracted to Nan Mingyu's bright and beautiful face on the wedding night.

Ever since Nan Mingyu entered the mansion, Lin Shan has been doting on her, which made Liu dislike Nan Mingyu even more. However, they were all concubines. Although she gave birth to the eldest son of the marquisate, she could not do anything to Nan Mingyu openly. After all, everyone in the mansion depended on Nan Mingyu's dowry for their livelihood.

In fact, because Lin Shan has always liked Nan Mingyu, he also loves Lin Qingye, his illegitimate daughter. Lin Shan will not give Lin Qingye anything that Lin Qingyao, the legitimate daughter, has.

Among all the relatives in this world other than her mother, it seemed that her father was the only one who treated Lin Qingye so well. So after Lin Qingye was reborn, she was unwilling to believe what Lin Qingyao said to her in her previous life, and was unwilling to believe that her father would beat her mother to death with a stick.

His father was cowardly by nature and had no independent opinion. Although he inherited the title of Marquis Pingnan early on, he had always been mediocre and had to listen to his mother, the old lady, on all matters, big or small.

In her previous life, after Lin Qingyao married the Third Prince as his principal wife, Lin Qingye also married into the Third Prince's mansion as a concubine. At that time, the Third Prince had been favored by the Emperor with the help of Lin Qingye, and even his biological mother was conferred the title of Imperial Concubine.

In order to seize Lin Qingye's dowry, the Third Prince and Lin Qingyao kept her under house arrest in the mansion, declaring to the public that she was ill and could not see anyone. Finally, after the Third Prince ascended the throne of the Crown Prince, Lin Qingyao directly locked her in a dog cage, gouged out her eyes, and slowly tortured her.

Now Lin Qing must first throw away his mother's power as head of the family and cut off the financial resources of Lin Qingyao and her daughter. Over the years, the mother and daughter have used her mother's money to gain a lot of benefits. The circle of girls that Lin Qingyao has been mixing in was also paved with her mother's money. Now she wants to see how Lin Qingyao can gain a foothold in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing without her mother's money.

Lin Qingyao always loved to organize various flower-viewing and poetry-reciting conferences. She also sponsored many poor students and often distributed porridge and rice at the city gate, winning the hearts of many people.

The Third Prince was attracted by this point about Lin Qingyao. In his previous life, Lin Qingyao had indeed helped the Third Prince a lot. Many of the scholars she sponsored later became officials. Later, these people became members of the Third Prince's party, which allowed the Third Prince to ascend to the throne of the Crown Prince more quickly.

Now Lin Qing wanted to first cut off Lin Qingyao's financial resources, and then destroy the reputation she had been maintaining, to see if the Third Prince would still marry her. She wanted to eat away everything they had bit by bit, and get back double the suffering she had endured in her previous life.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing also picked up the pen and wrote on the paper, "Lin Qingyao." Three big characters, then she blew the ink on the paper dry with an expressionless face and put it into the candlelight in front of her. The firelight reflected in her eyes, which were filled with boundless hatred.
