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

Song Qingning knew that getting Emperor Yuan to grant her a marriage was no easy task.

She awaited the Emperor's decree of marriage three days later, but news of the arrival of the envoy from Nanlin in the capital arrived first.

Emperor Yuan entrusted the task of entertaining the envoys to Prince Yu, Xie Bi, and held a banquet at the Sifangguan two days later to welcome them.

In addition to Emperor Yuan leading his officials to the welcoming banquet to meet with Crown Prince Xiao Ling of Nanlin, Empress Meng will also lead the noblewomen to entertain Princess Nanlin.

When Lady Liu received the imperial decree, she was stunned and remained in a daze for a long time.

She has been out of the public eye for far too long.

It went on for so long that she thought she would be suppressed by the Lu family forever and never see the light of day, but fate still smiled upon her.

She was a first-rank imperial consort.

This is what Song Qingning earned for her!

Thinking of the military achievements that Lu's daughter had earned with her blood, which brought her glory, Liu's heart, which had been filled with resentment for days, finally felt much better.

Only noblewomen and their daughters attended this welcoming banquet.

Lady Lu was merely a lady of a marquis's household, not a noblewoman, and therefore had no right to such a position.

She had the qualifications that the Lu family lacked!

Liu immediately straightened her back.

In a cheerful mood, she went to deliver food to Song Qingyan, and the smile in her eyes alerted Song Qingyan to something amiss.

"What good news is there?" Song Qingyan glanced at Madam Liu.

From the moment Liu learned that she had killed Song Mingtang, she stopped pretending in front of Liu.

She freely revealed her true self in front of Liu.

Liu's smile froze, her eyes flickering. "What good news could there be?"

The death of Song Mingtang was a thorn in Liu's side.

A wall has been erected between the mother and daughter.

"No? Ha, Liu, don't you want to know where your beloved son's remains are?" Song Qingyan sneered, seizing Liu's lifeline.

Liu's body stiffened.

Song Qingyan always used Tang'er's remains to threaten, control, and manipulate her.

For the sake of Tang'er's remains, she had to compromise time and time again, letting herself be manipulated by her.

Having been manipulated too many times, Liu harbored resentment.

She clenched her fists instinctively, which Song Qingyan noticed, her sneer deepening. "Poor brother, I heard a maid in his room climbed into his bed. Is her name Yu Chan?"

Jade Cicada...

A hint of panic flashed in Liu's eyes.

She kept avoiding thinking about it.

But Song Qingyan seemed to be deliberately tormenting her, forcing her to face it, "I heard she was pregnant, but you beat her to death. That was my brother's flesh and blood! You really are..."

Before she could finish saying "heartless," Madam Liu interrupted her with a frenzied expression, "Shut up, shut up, shut up!"

She didn't want to hear it.

How could Song Qingyan do as she wished?

She thought that by escaping Jing Shui Nunnery, she could find another opportunity to take back everything that originally belonged to her.

But people in the neighborhood were cursing her, while teahouses and taverns were praising Song Qingning and belittling her.

If she's unhappy, she'll make sure Liu is unhappy too.

"Liu, you blame me for disregarding sibling affection and killing my brother, but what about you? Didn't you also kill his own flesh and blood?"

"Tell me, if my brother is in the afterlife, does he blame me more for killing him, or does he blame you more for killing his own flesh and blood?"

"Oh!"

Malice flickered in Song Qingyan's eyes.

Her words reached Liu's ears without missing a single one, gradually eroding Liu's defenses.

She didn't want to face it, but she was still forced to.

Overwhelmed by self-blame and regret, Liu's face turned deathly pale.

"Tang'er, Tang'er..." Madam Liu kept calling out to Song Mingtang.

Song Qingyan sneered, delivering one last blow, "Liu Shi, if you can't collect your brother's body, his wandering ghost will resent you even more!"

As she finished speaking, Liu's self-blame towards Song Mingtang reached its peak.

Lady Liu's eyes widened in surprise, but she finally relented. "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything. It was an envoy from Nanlin who came to the capital, and the Emperor ordered noblewomen to attend the welcoming banquet."

"A welcome banquet?" Song Qingyan stood up abruptly.

Prince Rui will definitely be at the welcoming banquet!

She fled Jing Shui Nunnery because she dared not see Prince Rui.

She was afraid of being sent back again.

But she changed her mind yesterday.

Song Qingyan placed her hand discreetly on her lower abdomen.

She never imagined that she was pregnant. She secretly went to the doctor countless times to confirm before she finally believed that she was really pregnant.

It belongs to Prince Rui!

Song Qingyan was overjoyed. This would be the eldest son of Prince Rui, and even more so, the eldest grandson of the Emperor.

Having this bargaining chip, she was determined to take the gamble no matter what.

Song Qingyan dared not let Liu Shi know about this. Suppressing her excitement, she coldly ordered Liu Shi, "Take me there!"

"How can this be?!"

Madam Liu exclaimed in surprise, "A noblewoman should bring her daughters to such an event! You have lost all face now, how can you appear in such a setting?"

The unspoken disdain caused Song Qingyan's expression to change drastically.

Those people outside belittled her, even Liu Shi dared to look down on her!

What right does she have!

Song Qingyan glared at Liu Shi with eyes full of hatred. After a long while, she sneered retaliatoryly, "You can choose not to take it, but my brother's remains..."

Threatening with Song Mingtang's remains was a very effective tactic.

As expected, Liu gave in defeat once again, "Fine, fine, I'll take you there."

Madam Liu glanced at Song Qingyan warily, feeling uneasy, and then instructed, "When you go, keep a low profile and don't stand out."

Song Qingyan did not answer her.

Liu was unaware of Song Qingyan's purpose in going to the banquet; she only hoped that Song Qingyan could truly keep a low profile.

On the day of the welcoming banquet, before dawn, Lady Liu had already put on her official robes.

She deliberately made a big commotion, which even alerted the old Marquis's courtyard.

When Lord Song learned that Lady Liu was going to attend the welcoming banquet for the envoy from Nanlin as a Lady of Imperial Decree, he felt resentful.

"The Liu family benefited from Qingning's good fortune!"

Why didn't the light fall on him?

……

The welcome banquet was held at Sifangguan.

The Capital City Command is in charge of defense, and carriages from various families arrived one after another.

Song Qingning took a closer look at the carriage from the Yongning Marquis's residence.

After Liu got off the carriage, another person followed.

It's Song Qingyan!

She... how dare she show up here!

Song Qingning was surprised, certain that she was up to her old tricks again.

Song Qingning caught a glimpse of the imperial robes worn by Lady Liu, which were particularly jarring.

Just then, a warm and soft voice came:

"Sister Qingning, Sister Qingning..."

The next moment, Meng Yushu threw herself into Song Qingning's arms. "Sister Qingning, I knew you were here. I came here especially for you."

Meng Yushu has gained a lot of weight recently; her face is chubby and she looks adorable.

Song Qingning couldn't help but pinch his little face. "But I have official business today and can't accompany you."

"It's okay, hehe, I came here specifically to accompany my good friend!" Meng Yushu said with a simple smile.

Song Qingning: "..."

Does the little guy have some misunderstanding about the word "specially".

"Sister Qingning, come and meet my good friend!" Meng Yushu pulled Song Qingning along, then waved to a carriage. "Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother, look here! This is the Sister Qingning I told you about!"

Meng Yushu pulled Song Qingning along as they ran.

They arrived at the carriage.

Song Qingning also saw the "good friend" that Meng Yushu mentioned.

I recognized him at a glance, and I couldn't help but feel surprised.
