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

The post was intercepted by Song Qingyan.

Song Qingning was kept in the dark about Princess Rou'an's invitation.

The following day, Song Qingning went to the Ministry of War.

Upon arriving at the Ministry of War, Vice Minister Meng Huaizhou greeted him, "General Song, the task we discussed last time has been accomplished!"

Meng Huaizhou clapped his hands excitedly.

God knows how many arguments he had with those old fogies in the court over this matter.

Thankfully, we managed to get it!

"General Song, Left Commandant of the Capital Garrison, concurrently serving as Colonel of the Shence Army." Meng Huaizhou grinned from ear to ear, very satisfied with the result he had secured.

The Left Commandant of the Capital City Division was one of the highest-ranking officials in the Capital City Division, responsible for the defense and dispatch of the capital city, and wielded real power.

The Shence Army Captain was equivalent to the commander of a battalion.

In his previous life, he only held the position of Left Commandant of the Capital City Division and did not hold any other positions.

"Minister Meng, I hold two positions and I fear I am overwhelmed with the workload," Song Qingning said.

"It's alright, it's alright. You just need to show your face to the Shence Army," Meng Huaizhou reassured him.

Meng Huaizhou was also surprised by the appointment of the Shence Army Colonel.

"The position of Captain of the Shence Army was appointed by His Majesty. I didn't expect my nephew to not object. An extra official position means an extra salary, why not take it? Hehe!"

The Shence Army was established by Prince Huai, Xie Xuanjin, and obeyed only the Prince Huai's orders.

Everyone knows that the Emperor is wary of the Prince of Huai, and that his placement of her in the Shence Army is likely for another purpose.

Xie Xuanjin did not object, which surprised Song Qingning even more.

"The decree appointing you will be delivered to the Yongning Marquis's residence soon, General Song. I have high hopes for you!" Meng Huaizhou placed great expectations on Song Qingning.

He hoped that Song Qingning could walk the path that his elder sister had not walked.

He will do his best to support him.

"Qingning thanks Minister Meng." Song Qingning was grateful.

Vice Minister Meng was the seventh son of the Duke of Meng's family. He married the daughter of the Earl of Zhongyi's family, and the two had a son.

In her previous life, that child died young at the age of eight, after which Madam Meng went mad.

Minister Meng also lost interest in official duties and resigned from his post, leaving the capital.

Song Qingning glanced at Meng Huaizhou, who was brimming with ambition, and asked, "I've heard that Minister Meng has a son. May I ask how old he is?"

"Eight years old!" Meng Huaizhou said with loving eyes.

Song Qingning's heart tightened suddenly.

Eight years old!

She remembered that the young master's accident happened one night, by the river...

"He's naughty, playful, and greedy. This morning he was even clamoring for roast duck from Jinshenglou." Meng Huaizhou said helplessly but affectionately.

Song Qingning's eyelids twitched violently.

Jinshenglou is located right next to the Jinghe River.

She wasn't sure exactly which day the young master had the accident.

After leaving the Ministry of War, Song Qingning did not return to his residence, but unknowingly walked to the Jinghe River.

As evening approached, Princess Rou'an and Xie Yunli arrived at the Jinghe River pleasure boat.

The elder brother was ordered by his mother to search for the person. He met with all the noble ladies who attended the birthday banquet that day, but none of them were the savior he was looking for.

Now only the Yongning Marquis's residence remains.

Princess Rouan also wanted to find the person who saved her mother that day.

She was full of complaints about her brother's methods of finding people. "They either splash water on people or push them into the water. The noble ladies in the capital already said I was picky, but now I have an even worse reputation for being difficult and unruly."

She is picky because she disdains associating with people she doesn't like.

But she wasn't difficult at all, and was very easy to get along with!

"This is the last time," Xie Yunli said apologetically.

My savior was dressed in red and wore a veil.

He didn't see her face, but if he saw her in red again, he would definitely recognize her.

"Could it be a young lady from the Yongning Marquis's mansion?" Princess Rouan asked, looking at her brother.

Xie Yunli was also unsure.

He had originally excluded the Yongning Marquis's residence.

He had seen that Miss Song at her birthday banquet. She was scheming and full of ambition, dressed like a peacock, as if afraid that others would not see her.

If someone like that had saved someone, they would have made a big fuss about it long ago.

Later, when Song Mingtang impersonated Mingyue Xian, his impression of the Yongning Marquis's mansion worsened.

He increasingly suspected that Song Qingning, whom he had never met, was also someone who habitually used means to achieve his goals; otherwise, he wouldn't have bewitched Uncle Meng to the point of recommending a woman to the court.

How could the person who saved my mother be from the Song family?

But yesterday, my fourth brother sent a message saying that the person he was looking for was at the Yongning Marquis's residence.

Xie Yunli, suspicious, had Rou'an send out invitations and also invited his fourth brother.

If the woman in red really was from the Yongning Marquis's residence, he would thank his fourth brother for reminding him.

Otherwise, he would have dragged his fourth brother along to wake up Meng Huaizhou, who had been bewitched by Song Qingning!

"Where are they? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

Xie Yunli was getting impatient.

As he got up and stepped out of the painted boat, a ferry approached, and a bright red brim caught his eye.

The woman had her back to him, and her figure vaguely resembled that of the woman who saved his mother that night!

……

As night falls, the banks of the Jinghe River gradually come alive.

Song Qingning wandered aimlessly, paying attention to the children playing by the Jing River.

After leaving the Ministry of War, she felt inexplicably uneasy, as if something big was about to happen.

Upon arriving at Jinshenglou, Song Qingning went inside.

Private room on the second floor.

Prince Rui, Xie Yuqi, and Shen Yue, the heir of the Duke of Shen's mansion, were drinking wine while a famous musician played the zither to entertain them.

Shen Wan'er walked in, full of resentment. Hearing the music, she became even more irritated. "Stop playing! Stop playing! Get out of here!"

The famous actress withdrew.

Seeing that his younger sister was quite angry, Shen Yue knew that whoever had offended her was in for a world of trouble. "Wan'er, who has offended you? Your cousin is here, and I will definitely stand up for you."

Shen Wan'er is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Shen.

Xie Yuqi doted on his cousin and asked, "Who upset you?"

Shen Wan'er found a backer, "Cousin, I could have come in earlier, but I was bumped into by a little brat downstairs and got my clothes dirty, so I had to go back to the carriage to change before coming here."

"That dress of mine was made of shimmering brocade, a gift from the Empress Dowager. It was the only one I had, and it breaks my heart. I'm not reconciled!"

"Which brat is so blind?"

"Who else could it be but the young master of the Meng family?" Shen Wan'er said.

She originally intended to detain him, but he was accompanied by two guards.

"The Meng family?"

Xie Yuqi and Shen Yue exchanged a glance.

On the surface, the Meng State Duke's Mansion and the Shen State Duke's Mansion were at peace, but the feud between the two families had already begun when the Emperor ascended the throne.

The death of Consort Shen further exacerbated the feud between the two families.

With just a glance, Shen Yue gained Xie Yuqi's tacit approval.

"Wan'er, have something to eat with your cousin, I'll be right back." Shen Yue stood up.

"Be discreet, don't let anyone find any fault with you," Xie Yuqi instructed.

"Of course!"

Shen Yue never revealed any flaws in what he did.

……

Song Qingning did not see the young master of the Meng family at Jinsheng Tower, but she did see Shen Yue, the heir of the Duke of Shen's mansion!

Although it was just a glimpse of her back, in her past life, Song Qingyan would often lead Shen Yue to show off their affection in front of her, to demonstrate her superiority and to highlight Shen Yue's status.

Song Qingning suddenly felt a little regretful.

Even though nothing happened to the Prince Yu's mansion in this life, Song Qingyan's target was still Xie Yunli.

I wonder if we will ever see Song Qingyan and Shen Yue as loving as they were in their previous life.

Song Qingning was thinking about the young master of the Meng family and didn't pay much attention to Shen Yue.

After leaving Jinsheng Tower, Song Qingning continued to stroll along the Jinghe River.

As I walked onto Guangji Bridge, I suddenly heard a splash, followed by panicked shouts from passersby:

"Someone has fallen into the water!"
