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

Madam Lu was dressed in a light blue silk robe with emerald patterns, exuding elegance and grace, her demeanor as a matriarch of a prominent family seemingly natural.

That demeanor made one feel ashamed and jealous.

If she wore this outfit and sat regally in such a hall, she might very well have the air of a member of the Lu family.

"This junior greets Madam Hou," Jiang Tong said, bowing.

She is a junior, so we must show her proper respect.

But Madam Jiang didn't need that. She was a guest, and as a distinguished guest, the host should greet her warmly, or at least get up to welcome her.

But Madam Lu didn't even lift her buttocks. She remained seated in the main seat, drinking tea from her teacup. She then smiled and responded to Jiang Tong, but didn't even glance at Madam Jiang, as if she didn't exist.

Song Qingning thought to herself that her mother was being mischievous.

Madam Jiang was insecure, arrogant, and sensitive. How could she bear her mother's neglect?

Song Qingning glanced at Madam Jiang and, sure enough, saw that her face suddenly darkened.

A fierce anger ignited in Madam Jiang's heart.

The Lu family... how dare they treat her so poorly!

She's her daughter's mother-in-law! Absolutely despicable!

Lu did not take the initiative to greet her, nor did she take the initiative to show goodwill. She raised her head slightly and let the atmosphere remain tense.

Seeing this, Jiang Tong tried to smooth things over.

She saw Song Qingyan lying unconscious on the ground and was shocked by the cut on her forehead. "What happened to you, sister-in-law? Who is so blind as to make the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family kowtow like this?"

Her tone was both concerned and accusatory, as if she had forgotten how she had tormented Song Qingyan in the Jiang family.

He then pulled Madam Jiang, saying, "Mother, you love your younger brother and sister-in-law the most. You must stand up for them."

Madam Jiang knew that she had to be a loving mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law, especially to let the Marquis's family know that she treated the Marquis's eldest daughter well.

Upon receiving Tong'er's hint, Madam Jiang also angrily rebuked, "Who treated Yan'er like this?"

She finished speaking.

A moment of silence.

The aunts froze as they drank their tea, glancing at Madam Jiang and then at Madam Lu.

Madam Lu took a sip of tea, slowly raised her eyes, and asked, "Is it...me?"

She frowned slightly, a hint of self-reproach in her expression.

His self-blame was heartbreaking.

Those who had been misled by Song Qingyan and criticized the Lu family felt even more guilty and quickly said:

"How could it be you?"

"Yes, yes, it wasn't you. She repented and kowtowed to beg for forgiveness. You can't blame her. You're the one who suffered the most."

The self-reproach in Lu's eyes lessened slightly.

Madam Jiang and Jiang Tong were completely baffled.

What repentance and confession? What aggrieved party?

"What... what's going on?" Jiang Tong pressed.

The aunts exchanged glances and then fell silent. This was a family matter of the Marquis's household and should not be publicized.

No one answered Jiang Tong.

Jiang Tong looked embarrassed, and Madam Jiang's face also turned ugly.

They were guests, but it was clear that neither the Marquis's residence nor any other guests paid them any attention.

"She is, after all, the legitimate daughter of a marquis's family!" said Madam Jiang.

It's not about supporting Song Qingyan, but about speaking out for them.

Song Qingyan is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family. They are Song Qingyan's mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and they are honored guests!

Liu, who was sitting on the ground, was holding half of Song Qingyan's body.

She felt a deep hatred for Madam Lu, and even more resentment towards these aunts for being so blind. They were all invited by her to put pressure on Madam Lu, and had even taken her money. Now, they were all speaking on Madam Lu's behalf.

Only Madam Jiang, whom she hated the most, still protected Yan'er.

Madam Liu gritted her teeth inwardly and seized the opportunity to echo, "Yan'er is, after all, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's mansion."

Upon hearing this, Madam Lu's gaze darkened.

Song Qingning clearly saw the hatred in her mother's eyes.

Then, the mother put down her teacup.

"The legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family? Liu, have you forgotten something?" Madam Lu's voice was unusually cold.

Liu's heart skipped a beat.

She remembered what the old Marquis had said.

The old Marquis asked her to acknowledge Yan'er and let Yan'er become his second wife.

She even sent a message to her that there should be a ceremony.

But the ceremony was never mentioned again. She guessed that the reason was simply that Madam Lu and the Marquis were reluctant to part with it.

Who would let their daughter recognize someone else as her mother?

It's true that Madam Lu resented Yan'er for poisoning her, but she wouldn't truly abandon Yan'er.

Lu wanted a way out and to vent her anger, and she gave her everything she wanted.

Even though Yan'er had already fainted from the impact, she still wouldn't let it go.

Liu resented Lu for going too far. She hid her resentment and said softly, "Sister-in-law, let bygones be bygones. Let each of us give way. Mother and daughter should not hold grudges overnight."

"Heh..." Madam Lu laughed.

Only the perpetrators and beneficiaries would so easily say, "It's over, let it go."

If the hatred of the child swap is truly let go, what do the suffering of Shi Yin and Ning'er amount to?

And Ning'er's dream... of her past life!

Lu glanced at Song Qingning, as if she had made a decision.

Song Qingning met her gaze and vaguely guessed what her mother was about to do.

Song Qingning nodded.

She supports her mother.

"Steward, go and invite the old Marquis back to the manor," said Madam Lu.

He then instructed Chen's mother, "Go to my private treasury and take some jewelry and ornaments to distribute to my sisters-in-law and aunts."

The housekeeper and Chen's mother accepted the order and left.

No one knew what the Lu family was going to do.

Mrs. Chen retrieved the jewelry and returned first.

On the tray in the maid's hands were pieces of jewelry, some gold, some silver, some jade, and some pearls.

Each piece is exquisitely crafted.

Not only were the aunts dazzled, but Madam Jiang and Jiang Tong's eyes also lit up. Jiang Tong even wished she could go up and touch it.

The things that Madam Lu still has are far better than what Song Qingyan received in her dowry.

"Mrs. Lu, what do you mean by this?" The aunts looked at Mrs. Liu with suspicion.

Showing off these fine pieces of jewelry to others might seem like showing off.

Madam Lu smiled and said, "If you sisters-in-law and aunts like them, you can each choose one. Consider it a gift from Jing Shu to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, the aunts exclaimed in surprise, "Really? These jewels are for us?"

They couldn't believe it.

Madam Lu nodded, "Of course it's true. Sisters-in-law and aunts can choose whatever they like. Chen Mama, take it upstairs for the sisters-in-law and aunts to choose from."

Mother Chen had her maids carry the jewelry to the aunts.

Even after they held the jewelry in their hands, they still couldn't believe it.

When Lady Lu married the Marquis of Yongning, her dowry was quite large, proving that Lady Lu was indeed wealthy.

"Jing Shu, we appreciate your kind gesture."

"Jing Shu, you are so generous. You've gone to so much trouble."

The aunts had all chosen jewelry and were beaming with joy. Just now they were calling her "Madam Lu," but now they were calling her "Jing Shu."

Mr. Lu smiled.

Madam Jiang and Jiang Tong watched them choose jewelry and were also eager to try it out.

But the maidservant was slow to bring up the jewelry.

Madam Jiang wanted to step forward, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Jiang Tong couldn't hold back any longer.

Since Madam Lu is so generous, and all the guests are welcome, naturally they will also receive something.

She couldn't ask others to choose the better ones.

Jiang Tong went forward to choose, only to find that all the jewelry had been taken, not a single piece was left.

Jiang Tong's expression stiffened slightly, then she smiled and said, "Aunt Lu, is this not enough? Could you please get some more?"
