Song Qingyan landed heavily, spitting out blood. This lesson still failed to bring her back to her senses.

"Kill her? I want to kill her! I wish she were dead! Madam Lu, you are my mother! How could you treat me like this, driving me to this point? Madam Lu, you are unworthy of being a mother!"

Song Qingyan's eyes were bloodshot as she glared fiercely at Madam Lu, accusing her in a pitiful voice.

His face was contorted in a ferocious grimace, and he appeared to be insane.

"Yan'er, stop talking." Madam Liu said in a panic.

Yan'er's words will only make the situation irreversible, but she can't stop Song Qingyan.

Everything that should be said, and everything that shouldn't be said, came out of Song Qingyan's mouth.

Liu tried to salvage the situation, looking at Lu, "Sister-in-law, Yan'er is just being immature..."

"Immature?" Marquis Yongning interrupted her coldly. "You call this immature? Father is right, Song Qingyan is like this because you've corrupted her!"

"I..." Liu's heart trembled, and she wanted to explain.

But the resentful look in the Marquis's eyes made her lose her composure, and in the end she could only look at Madam Lu pleadingly, "Sister-in-law..."

Lu's mind was filled with Song Qingyan's accusations.

I feel very calm.

Before she learned the truth about the baby swap, she believed that she was only thinking of Song Qingyan's best interests and had no selfish motives. As a mother, she had a clear conscience.

The people she truly felt guilty towards were Ning'er and Shi Yin.

She used to worry about Song Qingyan's eccentric personality, but now she just thinks she's stupid.

Losing your temper is courting death; that's just stupid!

Madam Lu stared at her and smiled faintly, a hint of sadness quickly creeping into her smile. Then, she said sorrowfully, "You hate me so much, you wish you could kill me!"

Heart-wrenching pain, accompanied by occasional coughing and wheezing.

Even Song Qingning was surprised that her mother would put on such an act.

Others looked at her with pity, especially the aunts who had taken Lu's jewelry earlier; they all showed sympathy for Lu.

"What kind of rebellious daughter is this!"

"Yes, a poisonous mother, a matricide! Anyone who didn't know better would think she treated an enemy. Who would want a daughter like that?!"

"You claim to be repentant, but you haven't repented at all!"

The aunts accused and complained, feeling indignant on behalf of Madam Lu.

The uncles and elders all looked at Song Qingyan on the ground.

They witnessed Song Qingyan murder her mother; it was undeniable. She was also spouting wild words. At this moment, her face was contorted with rage; she was nothing like the legitimate daughter of a marquis's family.

No wonder the Marquis of Yongning and his wife didn't want this daughter.

Time and again, the poisonous mother murdered her own mother.

If such a daughter continues to stay in the main branch of the Marquis's mansion, she will inevitably tarnish the reputation of the entire mansion sooner or later.

Everyone looked at Marquis Yongning and the old Marquis.

The old marquis's eyes were cold. He knew that Song Qingyan could not be allowed to stay, at least not in the main house.

"Let's build an ancestral hall!" said the old Marquis.

"Open the ancestral hall..." Liu's body went limp.

This is what she fears most.

The establishment of the ancestral hall and the alteration of the family genealogy meant that Yan'er had completely lost her status as the eldest daughter of the main branch of the family, with no room for maneuver.

She did so much for this identity.

Ancestral halls cannot be opened!

Ignoring her disheveled state, Liu hurriedly crawled to the old Marquis and tugged at his robes. "Father-in-law, we can't open the ancestral hall! Yan'er... she's confused. She must be possessed by a ghost to do what she did. It wasn't her intention."

Possessed by a ghost?

Song Qingning laughed at Liu Shi, who could come up with such a clumsy excuse.

But who would believe her?

"absurd!"

The old marquis kicked her hand away and coldly rebuked Madam Liu: "You've ruined the children of the eldest son's family! Isn't this exactly what you wanted to see? You've got your wish!"

"From now on, you'll be the one causing this trouble!"

After saying this, the old Marquis got up and headed towards the ancestral hall.

Marquis Yongning also flicked his sleeves and followed closely behind the old marquis, followed by the other uncles and elders of the clan.

They went to ancestral halls one after another.

"Father-in-law...Lord Marquis..." Madam Liu tried to catch up.

But when Song Qingyan cried out in pain, Madam Liu instinctively looked over.

Perhaps because Song Qingyan was filled with hatred just now, she ignored the pain of the wound on the back of her hand. Now, the pain was excruciating, and Song Qingyan was trembling all over.

"Yan'er, how are you? I'll call the doctor right away..."

Yan'er's hands were covered in blood, a shocking sight, and Liu's eyes reddened with anxiety.

Then she remembered that her uncles and elders had gone to open the ancestral hall, and she couldn't help but scold them, "Yan'er, how could you..."

How could you be so impulsive!

Even if they wished the Lu family dead, they had to endure it a little longer.

Before Madam Liu could finish her rebuke, Song Qingyan looked up and glared at her, the hatred in her eyes chilling her to the bone. "Yan...Yan'er..."

Song Qingyan was filled with hatred; she hated the Lu family and also the Liu family.

Looking at Liu's concerned expression, she felt it was so fake it was disgusting.

"Don't touch me!" Song Qingyan roared angrily, increasingly agreeing with her grandfather's words, "I'm like this because of you! Everything's ruined, you're the culprit!"

These words were like a thorn in Liu's heart, causing her excruciating pain.

How could she harm her! She is her mother, she would never harm her!

Lady Liu knew that the current situation was beyond repair.

But she couldn't let Yan'er hate her.

If Yan'er knew that she was her mother, she would definitely not misunderstand her.

Looking at Song Qingyan, Madam Liu made a decision.

Not long after, the old Marquis returned from the ancestral hall with a group of uncles and elders.

"From today onwards, Song Qingyan has no further relationship with the first branch of the family. If Madam Liu acknowledges Song Qingyan, she will be the daughter of the second branch. If she does not, she will have no further connection with the Yongning Marquis's Mansion." The old Marquis's attitude was resolute.

He then warned Song Qingyan, "Song Qingyan, you'd better watch yourself. You're already married. If you and your in-laws dare to use the Marquis's name to do anything that damages the Marquis's reputation, I will not let you off easily!"

The old Marquis deliberately brought up his wife's family.

They just wanted to get rid of the Jiang family, this leech.

After saying that, he turned and left, and the other uncles and elders also left.

Madam Jiang and Jiang Tong were still in shock, watching everything that had just happened.

Song Qingyan... is no longer the legitimate daughter of the first wife.

Then...then her dowry!

"In-law..." Madam Jiang hurriedly chased after Madam Lu as she saw her about to leave.

At this moment, she no longer had the mind to compete with the Lu family, and her face was full of smiles.

Before she could get close, Chen's mother blocked Lu's way, saying, "Madam Jiang, you've called the wrong person. The in-law you should be calling is that one."

Mother Chen pointed at Liu.

Madam Jiang's smile froze on her face.

She doesn't acknowledge any Liu family; the Liu family is nowhere near as wealthy as the Lu family.

"relatives by marriage."

Madam Jiang called out to Madam Lu again, fearing that Madam Lu would leave, and quickly seized the opportunity, "In-law, Qingyan's dowry is really too little. Your Marquis's family is a respectable family, so you should make up for it."

Lu lowered her eyes.

The reason why Song Qingyan was not allowed to marry as the eldest daughter of the main branch was to protect her dowry.

All of that dowry belongs to Ning'er.

"If Madam Jiang wants a dowry, go to the government office to get it," Madam Lu said indifferently, ignoring Madam Jiang and striding away.

"you……"

Madam Jiang choked, then flew into a rage.

With her hands on her hips and pointing at Madam Lu's retreating figure, she threatened sharply, "You really think I wouldn't dare go to the authorities? I will go and file a complaint, and see if your Marquis's mansion can afford to lose face!"

No one paid her any attention, and Madam Lu walked away on her own.

Looking at Madam Jiang's shrewish demeanor, Song Qingning couldn't help but sneer.

They still want to ask the first wife for a dowry? They're dreaming!
