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

When the jade pendant was delivered that day, Song Qingning put it away.

It wasn't because she disliked it, but because she felt the jade pendant held extraordinary significance, especially the strange, inexplicable feeling that arose in her heart when she saw it.

She was curious, but a force seemed to be preventing her from exploring.

Seeing Song Qingning lower her eyes and remain silent, Madam Lu looked worried. "Ning'er, do you not like Prince Huai?"

The Lu family has been through this before.

She knew all too well what it was like to like someone.

With the wedding just two weeks away, Ning'er lacked the joy and excitement of a new bride.

"If you don't like it, then this marriage is off. I'll go to the palace and beg Sister Fu. Even if you never marry, it won't matter." Madam Lu's words were sincere.

Ning'er suffered too much misery in that dream.

In this life, let us follow our hearts and do as we please.

"A woman's destiny is not limited to marriage and childbirth." Madam Lu's gaze was firm, as if she was prepared to follow her daughter's choices and support her in moving forward, no matter what path she chose.

Song Qingning leaned against Madam Lu's chest, truly feeling her mother's warmth.

Her marriage to the Prince of Huai was already arranged.

This arranged marriage was hard-won.

The Liu family can't cause much trouble, but there are still people behind Shen Ao, as well as Prince Rui and Emperor Yuan.

Now that she's in the game, she can only move forward.

Join forces with the Prince of Huai to ensure the safety of the Marquis's residence.

Once the Prince of Huai sits on that throne, we'll deal with the rest later.

"Mother, Prince Huai is a very good person. If I marry Prince Huai, I will not suffer!" Song Qingning said.

They didn't mention liking me at all.

Lu's worries remained.

The Lu family organized a family reunion banquet, sending invitations to all the relatives they regularly visited, and also set up a continuous feast, which was attended by people from all over the city.

Upon learning that Liu had switched her two children with those of her first wife, almost everyone condemned her as vicious.

"Luckily we discovered it, otherwise, even the title would have fallen into someone else's hands."

"Those two children must have suffered a lot."

"And the Lu family, they've been deceived for so many years."

The crowd sympathized with the eldest branch of the Marquis's family, and were also relieved that everything had been set right. They despised and scorned Liu.

When Song Qingyan is mentioned, it is only said, "She looks exactly like Liu Shi. Liu Shi raised her to be just like her."

It was the same feeling of contempt and disgust.

There were even storytellers who turned the story of Liu's child swap and Song Qingyan's poisoning of Lu and impersonation of Mingyuexian into stories, which they performed in various restaurants and teahouses.

The second branch of the family separated from the Marquis's residence and lived in the low courtyard behind the residence.

The courtyard was small and simply furnished, with only two maids serving the household.

The day they returned from the ancestral tomb, Lady Liu was imprisoned.

Her left eye was blinded, and the doctor only treated it once and never came back.

Liu cried out in pain day and night, her voice gradually becoming hoarse and weak before finally calming down a bit.

Separated only by a low wall, the lively sounds of the Yongning Marquis's residence drifted into the low courtyard, grating on Liu's ears. After a few days, the noise grew even louder.

Outside the gate, the old woman received her reward and happily returned to her courtyard.

"The Lady of the Marquis is truly delighted. Tomorrow is the young lady's wedding day, and all the servants in the Marquis's mansion have received rewards today, including the two of us. The Lady of the Marquis is so generous, unlike that woman inside."

"Did you see that just now? The whole courtyard is filled with dowry. I heard that the Lady of the Marquis moved almost half of the main house's storeroom as part of the daughter's dowry."

"There are also betrothal gifts from the Prince of Huai's residence and the Empress in the palace, many priceless treasures. The wedding of the young lady tomorrow will surely be a grand affair."

The sound of conversation drifted into the dimly lit room.

As she lay on the couch, Madam Liu slowly raised her head. Her left eye was covered with gauze, and blood was seeping out. Her other eye was bloodshot.

"An unprecedented spectacle..." Madam Liu gritted her teeth, thinking of her past schemes.

She went to great lengths to put all the rewards Song Qingning received into the main storeroom.

She was going to make it into a dowry for Yan'er.

Looking back now, it's clear that Song Qingning knew Song Qingning's identity back then, when she so readily agreed to put the rewards into the main storeroom.

There's also the Lu family.

When Yan'er got married, she used the poisoning incident to make trouble for Yan'er, forcing her to marry as the daughter of a second wife and not even preparing a dowry for her.

At that time, Madam Lu knew that Yan'er was not her daughter.

She wanted to save everything for Song Qingning.

Liu was filled with resentment. She couldn't understand where things had gone wrong and how Song Qingning had found out about her switching babies.

"Song Qingning, Song Qingning, I want to see Song Qingning!" Liu shouted desperately towards the door.

The old woman heard it but ignored her and let her shout.

She knocked on the door again, and soon after, the sound of things being smashed came from behind the low wall and into the Marquis's residence.

East Courtyard.

Song Qingning is getting married tomorrow. In her room, Madam Lu and her daughter are having a private conversation.

Outside the room, a servant hurried into the courtyard and spoke to Chen's mother.

The words "Liu Shi" and "clamoring to see the young lady" could be faintly heard entering the room.

"I won't see you!" Lu said coldly.

He tightened his grip on Song Qingning's hand, a sharp glint in his eyes. "She's a madwoman. If she makes another sound, we'll shut her up!"

Song Qingning chuckled.

She happened to have something to tell Liu Shi, so seeing her wouldn't hurt.

"Mother, I'll go and seal her mouth," Song Qingning said.

Madam Lu did not stop her, but simply had the four maids, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, follow Song Qingning.

Song Qingning stepped into the low courtyard.

Upon seeing Liu again, Song Qingning felt as if she were seeing herself locked up in a nunnery in her previous life.

The room was dark and smelled pungent.

In her past life, she was the one who was tormented and left in a sorry state.

Now, the situation has reversed.

"You want to see me?" Song Qingning looked down at Liu Shi with a nonchalant glance.

Liu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly woke up.

Song Qingning wore a fox fur cloak and stood at the door. The moonlight outside shone down, casting a long shadow over Liu Shi.

Madam Liu swallowed hard. "You learned you were Lu's daughter when you returned to the capital, didn't you?"

"Yes," Song Qingning replied calmly.

Having received the answer, the turmoil in Liu's eyes suddenly turned urgent. "How did you know?"

This was something she just couldn't understand.

Song Qingning gave a half-smile and replied, "I heard it from you myself."

"How could that be? I've never told anyone about this; I've kept it a secret very well..."

Liu stared at Song Qingning, determined to find the answer.

She hid it very well.

If everything hadn't gone as Liu wished in her previous life, and she hadn't been in control of the situation, she probably wouldn't have brought up the matter of switching children so easily.

She wanted to know the reason, but Song Qingning didn't want Ruyi to.

The more Liu didn't know, the more anxious and tormented she became.

"Liu, Heaven is watching what people do; Heaven has eyes."

So God gave her a chance to live a second life and change everything from her previous life.

"Liu, I've come to see you to tell you that Song Mingtang's remains were not buried in the ancestral mausoleum. This was my grandfather's wish."

"Grandfather said the origin of those bones was unknown, and he had them thrown away. They must have been thrown into the ditch at the foot of the mountain!"

After Song Qingning finished speaking, Liu was struck dumb.

Then he let out a piercing scream and fainted in grief.

Song Qingning didn't look at her again and walked out of the low courtyard.

The next day.

Song Qingning married in grand style, with a ten-mile-long red bridal procession.
