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

Jiang Tong glanced again at the jewelry that the ladies had chosen. It was nice, but the styles were a bit old-fashioned and not quite suitable for someone as young as her.

So he asked, "Aunt Lu, could you please get some new styles?"

Her eyes were expectant, still as greedy as in her previous life, and even more undisguised in her greed, as if she wanted to go to the Lu family's warehouse to pick them herself.

Lu's gaze swept over her.

Jiang Tong thought she was going to instruct the servants to fetch it, but Madam Lu remained silent.

"Aunt Lu..." Jiang Tong made her smile even more endearing.

He opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Madam Lu.

"Dear sisters-in-law and aunts..." Madam Lu finally rose from her seat.

She walked right past Jiang Tong without even glancing at her, and greeted the others, "Sisters-in-law and aunts, do you like these? If not, I'll have someone go and get more. I'll make sure I find something I'm satisfied with."

Such generosity, however, is not directed at the Jiang family mother and daughter.

The Lu family ignored her!

Jiang Tong's face stiffened slightly, then flushed bright red in an instant, a mixture of anger and embarrassment.

The aunties tried on the jewelry they had chosen, exclaiming, "I like it, I like it, I really like it!"

The aunts were overjoyed.

They are all worldly-wise and understand social etiquette. The Lu family wouldn't give them jewelry for no reason. Such a generous gesture probably means they need their help.

"Jing Shu, just say what's on your mind. We're all sisters, don't be shy."

"Yes, yes, Jing Shu, just say it."

It's perfectly reasonable to take someone's things and then do their favors in return.

Madam Lu curtsied to them: "Today, Madam Liu invited the sisters-in-law and aunts to a small gathering. Since the weather is nice, why don't we also invite the brothers and uncles to come and have a meal together? I'll have someone go to Jinsheng Restaurant to reserve a table."

The banquets and gatherings of women in the inner quarters were a form of social interaction.

But if a man comes, it must be for something important.

Liu had a bad feeling. "Sister-in-law, what are you going to do?"

Madam Lu ignored Madam Liu and smiled as she looked at the ladies, waiting for their reply.

"What could it be? My husband is at the shop today. I'll send someone to invite him right away. Nothing can compare to Jing Shu's feast today."

"Yes, Jing Shu, just wait here. I'll bring my husband and my father-in-law with me."

The aunties happily agreed.

Some people sent someone to invite them, while others went to invite them in person.

The Lu family sent someone to Jinshenglou to reserve a table.

When the uncles arrived, the Marquis of Yongning also returned.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone completely ignored Jiang's mother and daughter, leaving them to their own devices.

Madam Jiang's face turned ugly, and Jiang Tong was so angry that she clenched her handkerchief tightly.

"Mother, they all have jewelry, but we... This Lady Hou deliberately didn't give us any. She didn't treat us like guests. What kind of hospitality is this?" Jiang Tong blushed with embarrassment.

She had asked so bluntly, yet Madam Lu ignored her and deliberately disregarded her. This was truly an unseemly act for the mistress of the Marquis's mansion.

"That despicable Lu family!" Madam Jiang gritted her teeth.

She understood; the Lu family was using jewelry to win people's hearts.

Madam Jiang glanced at the women who took the jewelry and immediately put it on their heads, her eyes filled with envy and disdain.

"What are those pieces of jewelry? Only they would be interested in them. Song Qingyan is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family and the daughter of the Lu family. Our goal is the dowry." Madam Jiang comforted Jiang Tong and also reassured herself.

"That's true. If the Lu family is willing to give away people, they would naturally be willing to give away their own daughter as well," Jiang Tong said.

Then I remembered my earlier question.

Liu said, "Mothers and daughters don't hold grudges overnight," which probably means that Song Qingyan did something wrong and displeased Lu.

Jiang Tong looked at Song Qingyan.

Song Qingyan had already woken up and was sitting on a chair to the side. When the doctor came to treat the wound on her forehead, she refused.

She wiped away her tears, feeling wronged, wanting to show her uncles how harshly Madam Lu treated her, and also to make her father feel sorry for her.

After returning to his residence, the Marquis of Yongning glanced at her.

"Father..." Song Qingyan called him then.

Marquis Yongning frowned, his eyes showing what appeared to be disgust, before turning his gaze away and attending to his guests.

At noon, everyone enjoyed a feast and drinks, creating a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.

Song Shiyin and Song Mingtang also came.

During the meal, the uncles praised Song Shiyin, but considering his background as a member of the second branch of the family, they dared not praise him too much, for fear of displeasing the first branch.

I want to praise Song Mingtang again.

But after thinking it over and over, I still couldn't find anything worth praising.

They all sighed inwardly, marveling at the vast difference between the children of the two branches of the Marquis's mansion.

After a few rounds of drinks, it was Mrs. Jiang who couldn't hold back any longer.

She was sitting in the women's section when she suddenly stood up and looked at the Marquis of Yongning at the next table.

"My dear in-law, there's something I'm not sure if I should say. Normally, a family like the Marquis's should have a generous dowry for their daughter, but Yan'er's dowry..."

Madam Jiang hesitated, then said, "It's not that I'm disgusted, it's that I feel sorry for my daughter-in-law. With that little dowry, how will she support herself?"

She said she wasn't disgusted, but her expression clearly showed it.

"What? Has Madam Jiang come today to ask for her dowry?" Marquis Yongning's face was expressionless, revealing neither his joy nor anger.

His upright appearance naturally exuded a sense of authority.

Madam Jiang felt a little guilty, but she quickly put on a righteous face and said, "What do you mean by begging? That's too harsh. My Jiang family doesn't rely on my daughter-in-law's dowry to live. We just feel sorry for her."

They spoke very nicely, as if they had no intention of taking their daughter-in-law's dowry at all.

Song Qingning knew all too well the true colors of the Jiang family. They put on a respectable facade but did all sorts of despicable things behind the scenes, with absolutely no bottom line.

"It's good that they didn't come to ask for a dowry," said Marquis Yongning.

Then he went on to greet the uncles and elders of the clan.

"..." Madam Jiang choked.

Seeing that the Marquis of Yongning also ignored her and did not take her, his in-law, seriously at all.

He immediately blamed all his resentment on Song Qingyan.

Madam Jiang glanced at Song Qingyan and saw the blood on her forehead, feeling only disarray.

Even in such a pathetic state, he couldn't win Lu's forgiveness; it seems he hadn't kowtowed enough.

Madam Jiang wanted Song Qingyan to continue kowtowing, but she was afraid that others would criticize her for not caring about her daughter-in-law, so she took a cup of wine and handed it to Song Qingyan.

He instructed her: "Qingyan, you made a mistake, so you should apologize properly. Quickly offer your mother a cup of wine to apologize, and your mother will forgive you because she is magnanimous."

Song Qingyan was worried about how to make everyone see her self-inflicted injury scheme.

Madam Jiang offered her a glass of wine, but she didn't take it.

She was determined to be forgiven today.

So he decided to go all out, got up, knelt down, and banged his head heavily on the ground once again.

With a bang.

The sound startled several uncles, causing them to tremble and spill their wine.

Then came Song Qingyan's heart-wrenching sobs, "Mother, Father, I was really wrong, I will always be your daughter..."

Her face was covered in tears, and fresh blood was flowing from the dried bloodstains on her forehead.

This was the first time Song Qingning had seen her so disheveled.

But none of this compares to even a fraction of the misery she endured in her past life, when her hands and feet were chopped off and she was turned into a human pig.

She knew what her mother was going to do and was happy to see it happen.

Then I heard my mother say, "You're wrong."

"Wrong...wrong?" Song Qingyan stared blankly at Madam Lu. "Mother, where did I go wrong? Tell me, and I will correct it."

She won't change. Once she turns the tables, she'll make the Lu family kneel down and beg her to admit their mistakes.

At this moment, she must endure.

But then they heard Madam Lu say:

"You're wrong to call me mother, and you're wrong to say you're my daughter."

"Your grandfather clearly said that the second wife, Liu, should acknowledge you and make you her daughter. It seems you don't remember. If you don't remember, then remember it well today."

Madam Lu looked at her uncles and elders:

"Dear uncles and elders, I have invited you all here today to bear witness that Song Qingyan is no longer the daughter of the first wife!"
