A wicked mother swaps her son and sucks his blood? The true legitimate daughter is reborn and goes o

Liu went to the bedroom first, but did not see Song Mingtang.

He then went to the study and saw Song Mingtang reading at his desk. He praised him happily, "Your Highness is really diligent. Your Highness, don't just focus on your studies, you also need to take care of your health."

Then he looked at Yu Chan, who was tidying up books, and said, "Yu Chan, you must serve the young master well."

"This servant will do her best," Yu Chan said, suppressing her wildly beating heart.

In the rush of the situation, her undergarment got tangled inside the prince's clothes.

Yu Chan glanced at Liu Shi, afraid that she would find out.

Seeing that her cheeks were flushed and her forehead was covered in sweat, Liu asked, "Yu Chan, what's wrong? Why is your face so red?"

"I'm a little hot. It's hot. I've been organizing the books that the young master will be reading these days all morning," Yu Chan said, wiping her sweat as she tried to hide it.

Liu's sharp eyes were fixed on her, as if trying to discern some clues.

"Liu, what brings you here?" Song Mingtang asked.

He grew increasingly disgusted with Liu.

She used to interfere in his affairs, and he used to think it was because his second aunt took good care of him, but now he feels disgusted by it.

Lady Liu, a concubine's second wife, always interfered in his affairs, as if she were the mistress of the Marquis's mansion and his mother.

They can't figure out their place.

Liu immediately withdrew her gaze from examining Yu Chan.

Facing Song Mingtang, she smiled broadly and said, "Young Master, your second aunt hasn't seen you in a long time and misses you very much."

miss him?

Song Mingtang frowned in disgust. "Grandfather doesn't like me having much contact with you."

"Second Aunt knows, Second Aunt was also wronged. It was Song Qingning. She was jealous of Yan'er, so she caused all this trouble. She even framed me, her own mother. She is truly despicable!" Liu thought of Song Qingning and felt a surge of anger in her heart.

Once she has a free hand, she will give Song Qingning a good beating.

Now she wants to turn the situation around.

"Your Highness, Song Shiyin topped the list in the imperial examination, and Song Qingning became an official. Although they are my children, in my eyes, bloodline has never been important. What matters is the hierarchy of legitimate and illegitimate children. You are the legitimate son of the Marquis's mansion, the heir apparent. They should not surpass you and steal your limelight," said Madam Liu.

Song Mingtang liked to hear these words.

Lady Liu added, "They are disobedient and need to be suppressed, but I can't suppress them now, so I have to rely on the Crown Prince."

Song Mingtang's eyes widened.

Then Liu said, "Song Shiyin and Song Qingning are like siblings. The closer they get, the less outsiders will see the young master. It's really unfair that the two of them are bullying you."

"It's unfair." Song Mingtang harbored countless grievances.

After Song Shiyin topped the list in the imperial examination, his grandfather only had eyes for him and Song Qingning.

Even the way the father looked at Song Shiyin and Song Qingning was loving and kind.

Song Mingtang felt frustrated. "You're right, we do need to suppress them. How do I do that?"

Lady Liu glanced at Yu Chan, "You may leave."

Liu wouldn't let her listen, and Yu Chan hurriedly left the study.

At first, she found it strange that Madam Liu favored the young master and the eldest daughter while suppressing her own children, but after a while, she got used to it.

She actually hoped that Liu would focus her attention on suppressing her own children.

That way, they won't be watching her and discover that she's pregnant.

Yu Chan went back to her room, put on a new undergarment, and drank the medicine she had prepared earlier to help prevent miscarriage.

She was pregnant, and even the crown prince didn't know.

She dared not tell the prince, fearing that he would be pleased and the news would leak to Lady Liu's ears. She wanted to wait until the pregnancy was more stable before revealing the truth.

Before that, she had to keep it a secret.

In the study.

After Liu finished speaking with Song Mingtang, as she was leaving, she noticed a bit of red silk peeking out from his waist.

It was immediately recognizable as a woman's undergarment.

Something flashed through Liu's mind, and she hurriedly left the study to find Yu Chan, grabbing her and taking her to a secluded place.

"Second Madam, what are you doing?" Yu Chan was frightened by Liu Shi's gaze.

Liu stared at her, then suddenly pulled open her clothes. When she saw the undergarment inside, Liu's expression softened.

But the doubts remained. "If I were to have the Crown Prince take you as a concubine, would you be willing?"

Yu Chan was in a state of panic.

Hearing her say that, she was taken aback, but then she realized that Liu was testing her.

Yu Chan knelt down in tears and panic, "This servant is unwilling. This servant is of lowly status and dares not presume to think of the young master. This servant only wants to fulfill her duty and serve the young master well."

She spoke sincerely; it didn't seem like she was faking it.

Liu glanced at her and said disdainfully, "It's good that you know your status. The young master will inherit the Marquis's mansion in the future. Even if he takes a concubine, he will only take a good one. I know you are obedient, but you sold yourself to the Marquis's mansion and are a slave. That cannot be changed."

He then asked Yu Chan, "Has the young master been seeing Hua Niang again recently?"

Yu Chan knew that Lady Liu had acted just now because she saw the undergarment on the young master's body.

She hurriedly replied, "The young master hasn't been in contact with Hua Niang lately, but he occasionally seems to be staring intently at a bellyband."

Yu Chan took the initiative to lift her bodice, which further dispelled Liu's suspicions about Yu Chan.

"It's not good for the young master to be so hot-blooded and without a woman by his side," Lady Liu frowned.

Tang'er was engaged to the Yan family.

But that night, the absurd act of inviting a courtesan into the mansion caused Madam Yan to annul the engagement in a fit of anger.

They showed absolutely no leniency.

Tang'er's marriage needs to be replanned.

That evening, news of Liu's visit to Song Mingtang's courtyard reached Song Qingning's ears.

"When the Second Madam left, the Heir Apparent and Yu Chan were in the room. Fortunately, the person we bribed loudly reminded them."

"The Second Madam probably suspected Yu Chan, so she took her aside and stripped her clothes off. Yu Chan was clever enough to fool her."

"After the second madam returned to her courtyard, she actually invited an official matchmaker. Who is she going to arrange a marriage for?"

Hongling ground the ink, a question lingering in her mind.

Song Qingning was reading a book and making annotations.

In her past life, she married Jiang Sheng in place of Song Qingyan. In this life, her marriage is still in the hands of Madam Liu.

Liu would not find her a respectable family, and even if she were to be betrothed, she would not use an official matchmaker.

The Liu family hired an official matchmaker for Song Mingtang's sake.

She wanted to find a good marriage for Song Mingtang.

"Heh..." Song Qingning sneered.

Lady Liu has been usurping power in the Marquis's household for many years, and it seems she has become accustomed to it. Now that she has lost control of the household, she still doesn't know her place.

As long as Song Mingtang holds the status of the eldest son of the Marquis's family, his marriage must be approved by the Marquis's mistress.

Let Liu choose; it won't be as she wishes anyway.

The next day, Song Qingyan returned to the Marquis's residence.

It was Song Mingtang who brought them back.

Song Qingning was on leave when, early in the morning, Song Qingyan's cries echoed throughout the Marquis's residence.

Song Qingning followed the sound of crying to the flower hall.

In the flower hall, Song Qingyan was kneeling in front of Madam Lu, crying and kowtowing. The sound of her kowtowing made Hongling's scalp tingle.

"Young Miss is really going all out today," Hongling said.

Song Qingning glanced at the flower hall.

Madam Lu sat in the main seat, and besides Madam Lu, there were several aunts from the Song clan.

With just one glance, Song Qingning knew Song Qingyan's purpose.

She was trying to put her mother in a dangerous position and force her to forgive her!
