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

"Princess Yuzhen!" Song Qingning exclaimed in surprise.

Understanding Xie Yuzhen's intention, she instinctively reached out to catch the shot arrow, but grasped only air.

On a small boat on the lake, a sharp arrow pierced the head of a palace maid and fell into the water with a splash, quickly spreading a bright red stain that was cold and glaring.

"Yuzhen, Yuzhen, how did you shoot so accurately? One shot and it's dead! Look at her head, you shot it off!" Shen Wan'er clapped and cheered, even jumping up and down with joy.

Seeing Song Qingning's gloomy face, and recalling how Song Qingning had made her a target on Xiaozhou Mountain in the Xue residence, causing her to lose face, he felt extremely pleased.

I finally got my revenge for the humiliation I suffered that day!

But Song Qingning's magnificent attire reminded her of the fact that Song Qingning had married the Prince of Huai.

She was in love with the Prince of Huai.

I've liked it for a long time.

At that time, she thought that as the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Shen's family, it would not be difficult for her to marry the Prince of Huai as his concubine.

However, after the death of the Crown Prince, the Prince of Huai left the capital and returned. Emperor Yuan then deliberately delayed his marriage, and the Prince of Huai became distant and indifferent to any noblewoman.

As long as the Prince of Huai is not married, she still has a chance.

She even felt that perhaps one day she could marry the Prince of Huai and resolve the feud between the Shen and Meng families.

Unexpectedly, in order to marry Song Qingning, the Prince of Huai went so far as to plot against his cousin and force the Emperor to grant them a marriage.

Song Qingning… how could she possibly be worthy of her?!

Yu Zhen's arrow just now only slightly relieved the Xue family's resentment at losing face.

"Yuzhen, your archery skills were taught by Lord Song, weren't they? Heh, if that's the case, then can the death of the palace maid be attributed to Lord Song?"

Shen Wan'er smiled sweetly.

Xie Yuzhen raised an eyebrow, not answering, but looking at Song Qingning like a student who had performed well and wanted praise from the teacher, "Qingning, how am I doing?"

Song Qingning's hands were already clenched into fists.

The woman before me had a bright smile and clear, pure eyes.

But Song Qingning knew that she was a madwoman!

A madman who treats human life like dirt!

She deliberately shot and killed a palace maid, and then chose Shuang'er, with whom she had previously interacted, to destroy her heart!

It made her feel that Shuang'er died because of her!

Make her feel guilty, make her blame herself, make her suffer, and then use the same method to find another person to be the target of her anger and guilt!

Song Qingning looked at Shuang'er, whose body was surrounded by blood on the lake.

"Princess, you've learned very well, but the distance was too close. Next time, you can place the target a little further away." Song Qingning's voice was calm, just like the lake surface under the bridge at that moment.

Xie Yuzhen's smile froze slightly.

She killed people, using the weapons Song Qingning taught her to kill, in order to make them feel guilty and remorseful, so that she could vent her anger.

But her reaction...

This tactic had no effect on her, which surprised her.

"Princess, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now!" Song Qingning calmly withdrew her gaze, turned around, and a cold glint appeared in her eyes.

She had only taken one step when Xie Yuzhen called out to her, "Wait!"

Xie Yuzhen harbored a burning anger within her.

She only regarded Song Qingning as a good "plaything". She wanted to amuse her and then, like pulling out a cat's claws, gradually extinguish the sharpness in her.

But this "toy" caused my brother such a great loss.

The Prince of Huai's scheme to secretly possess the dragon robe was ultimately aimed at marrying Song Qingning.

She blamed Song Qingning for the incident, and her revenge and anger were directed at her as well.

"Is there anything else, Princess?" Song Qingning didn't even turn her head.

Xie Yuzhen's gaze was fixed on her back. "Qingning, I haven't congratulated you yet. Not on your marriage, but on reuniting you and your brother with your biological parents."

Song Qingning's body stiffened.

Xie Yuzhen noticed the subtle reaction; her innocent eyes sparkled with excitement. She knew that even if Song Qingning didn't care about a palace maid, she wouldn't be indifferent to the lives of her parents and brothers.

"Qingning, your brother is the top scholar in the imperial examination, and even Father Emperor acknowledges his talent. If I were to ask Father Emperor to let your brother be my teacher, he would surely agree, wouldn't he?"

"However, he is, after all, a man, and unmarried. Such a situation will inevitably attract gossip. If rumors spread that the newly appointed top scholar intends to curry favor with the princess, I wonder if it will affect the marriage that your brother and Miss Yan are currently discussing."

"Yes, and there's also Miss Yan, whose marriage is still undecided. It's perfectly normal for other families to propose to her, isn't it?"

Xie Yuzhen's smile remained bright.

Every word he uttered was like a sharp knife.

This time, she was certain that she had Song Qingning under her control.

Sure enough, Song Qingning finally turned around, her gaze meeting hers with sharp, cold eyes. She glanced at her, then took a few steps forward, approaching Princess Yuzhen, and stopped when she was just a step away from her.

"Does the princess find this fun?"

"not bad."

Xie Yuzhen smiled slightly.

"Then I'll play with you," Song Qingning said. "What do you want to learn? I'll teach you."

This time, there's tuition for teaching her!

"Really?" Xie Yuzhen was slightly suspicious, not expecting her to compromise so easily.

Song Qingning nodded. "Really! What will the princess study?"

Xie Yuzhen's suspicion lessened slightly. She frowned, as if pondering how to dull her sharp edge. Her gaze swept across the lake below the bridge, and she had an idea.

"You are Mingyue Xian, skilled in painting, which I would like to learn. I also heard that you saved the young master of the Meng family and are good at swimming, which I would like to learn as well."

"What do you think I should learn first? How about...?"

"Today is perfect, Qingning, why don't you teach me how to swim?"

The implication was that she should jump.

It was almost the twelfth lunar month, and although the lake was not yet frozen, the water was emitting a chilling aura, which could be felt even on the bridge.

If you jump, you might not die, but you'll probably fall seriously ill.

Xie Yuzhen wanted to make her seriously ill, to temper her sharpness, and to dull the glaring and repulsive light in her eyes.

"Heh, Princess Yuzhen, she wouldn't dare in this freezing weather, would she?"

Princess Xiao Yue of Nanlin sneered, looking forward to a good show.

"Lord Song, please don't be afraid! You promised to teach the princess, are you going to go back on your word?"

Shen Wan'er chimed in agreement.

She wished she could push Song Qingning forward.

Xie Yuzhen raised an eyebrow, her smile still innocent. "Qingning, you are a very good teacher, diligent and dedicated. You will not let this princess down!"

"The princess is right, I will not let her down!"

Song Qingning smiled slightly.

After saying that, she took another step forward, took off her fox fur cloak, and even took off her outer garment.

"Princess, I will teach you well, and you must learn well too."

Looking at the lake below the bridge, Song Qingning caught a glimpse of Xie Yuzhen's bright eyes, which, perhaps due to excitement, finally revealed a hint of evil and ruthlessness.

That's the real her!

Shen Wan'er and Xiao Yue were both watching the show with amusement.

But in this play, no one can remain uninvolved.

"Princess……"

Song Qingning spoke again, turning to look at Xie Yuzhen.

That look sent chills down Xie Yuzhen's spine. Before she could recover, she saw Song Qingning's eerie smile.

The next instant, a sudden, heavy force gripped her wrist, and she leaped towards the lake below the bridge.
