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

Inside the Brocade Pavilion.

Inside the room, the situation seemed to have changed.

Shen Yue and the Duke of Shen looked at the man kneeling on the ground, his face bruised and swollen, constantly wailing and begging for mercy. This face was not unfamiliar to them.

"Master, Young Master, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The more the man addressed them, the paler and more shocked Shen Yue and the Duke of Shen became.

"How could it be...you?!" Shen Yue's fist was stained with blood, and the last word was squeezed out from between his teeth with a slight tremor.

The person before him was none other than his trusted attendant, who was always by his side.

He specifically entrusted him with the important task of adding something to Xie Xuanjin's tea.

The person in the room at this moment should be Xie Xuanjin.

How could it be him?!

"Where is Xie Xuanjin? What happened to the things I asked you to do? How could this happen?" Shen Yue glanced at Shen Wan'er, who was huddled in a ball with her clothes disheveled at the corner of the bed, and was completely unable to remain calm.

The attendant also looked dazed.

"Your Highness, I did as you instructed. I saw with my own eyes that Prince Huai drank the tea, and then I had someone bring him here in the name of Princess Huai, but..."

The servant recalled what had just happened, "This servant was originally going to report to the eldest young master, but I can't remember anything after that. The next time I remembered, I saw the eldest young lady..."

Along with the awakening of memories came an uncontrollable heat within the body.

The initial excitement had subsided.

Knowing he had made a grave mistake, the servant pleaded for forgiveness, "Your Highness, Master, I know I was wrong, I and the young lady..."

"Shut up, don't mention Wan'er!" Shen Yue interrupted him sharply.

After regaining my composure, I realized that something had gone wrong.

Perhaps the Prince of Huai has noticed!

"Damn Xie Xuanjin!" Shen Yue gritted his teeth in resentment, hating Xie Xuanjin for tricking him again.

The last time I secretly kept a dragon robe, it implicated my cousin.

This time, it's Wan'er...

"Father, brother, what should we do? Prince Huai, how can I marry Prince Huai..." Shen Wan'er sobbed, recalling everything that had just happened, feeling ashamed, angry, helpless, and terrified.

But more than shame and helplessness, there was resentment.

"The plan shouldn't have been like this." Shen Wan'er was flustered, but after a brief moment of panic, her eyes became firm again.

She needs to find a way.

She must marry the Prince of Huai!

Shen Wan'er looked at the two people in the room, "Father, brother, you must help me find a way. I have been in love with Prince Huai for a long time, and I will not marry anyone but Prince Huai."

"What happened today..."

Shen Wan'er wiped away her tears, "Let's pretend today's events never happened, daughter..."

She deliberately ignored the fact that she had lost her innocence, and her expression became somewhat crazed.

She believed that her father and brother could handle the situation for her, and that killing a servant would suffice.

And Yu Zhen...

Yu Zhen said she would definitely help her marry the Prince of Huai and fulfill her wish.

If something goes wrong this time, there can be a next time.

If we can devise a more ingenious plan later, so that the Prince of Huai doesn't realize that she has lost her innocence, then today's incident can be covered up.

Little did she know that a huge crowd had gathered outside the door, the entire courtyard of onlookers intently watching the room, eager to know what was going on inside.

Duke Shen's face was already as black as it could possibly be.

"Shut up!"

The pent-up anger could no longer be contained at this moment.

His face was ashen, his hand trembling as he pointed to the door, lowering his voice, "Do you think it's that easy to pretend today's events never happened? Do you even know what's going on outside...?"

The door was open.

When Duke Shen realized what was happening, his eyelids twitched, and he immediately ran over and closed the door.

Outside the room, the people could only vaguely hear some sounds, which were not clear.

Everyone was curious, but no one dared to go in and see for themselves.

It wasn't out of fear of the Duke of Shen's mansion, but rather out of fear of the Prince of Huai. In addition, they didn't want to embarrass the Princess of Huai any further, so everyone stood still, occasionally glancing at Song Qingning's expression.

The door suddenly closed, further isolating the room from sound.

Someone exclaimed, "This Prince of Huai is going too far!"

It wasn't out of pity for Shen Wan'er in the room, but out of indignation on behalf of Song Qingning.

"Don't you even know what day it is today? Don't you even know where you are!"

"That's right..."

People gradually echoed this sentiment, all wondering how this matter would end and whether the Princess Consort of Huai could withstand it.

Just then, a voice slowly drifted over:

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

His voice was clear and crisp, with a hint of innocence.

Upon hearing the sound, everyone saw a tall figure standing at the corner of the corridor. The winter sun shone on him, and the gold thread embroidered on his black robe shone softly, adding a touch of gentleness to his cold and handsome face.

However, his eyes, as dark as a deep pool, revealed displeasure and even hinted at danger.

And that face...

"Huai, Prince Huai..." someone exclaimed in surprise, calling out softly.

I glanced at the tightly closed door again.

Inside the room, the man's voice could still be heard begging for mercy.

Everyone present was stunned for a moment.

The Prince of Huai is outside; who is inside?

"This Jinxiu Pavilion is the courtyard where Ning'er used to live. Just now, someone sent word that the Princess Consort asked me to come here to retrieve a painting."

Xie Xuanjin did indeed have a painting in his hand.

Upon seeing Song Qingning, his previous cold expression vanished, replaced by a gentle light in his eyes. He strode towards her, presenting the painting as if it were a treasure, "Ning'er, look, is this the painting?"

Song Qingning met his gaze and replied cooperatively, "Yes, this is it."

"That's good." Xie Xuanjin naturally grasped Song Qingning's hand, his large palm perfectly enveloping hers. "I've obtained the painting, but it seems someone is accusing me of being too arrogant..."

"I wouldn't dare bully the Queen Consort, no matter who I might bully!"

Everyone realized what was happening.

The lady who had just said, "Prince Huai, you've gone too far," immediately looked terrified. "Your Highness Prince Huai, I deserve to die! I thought Your Highness... I felt sorry for the Princess Huai, that's why..."

"I thank you for your kindness towards my wife, Madam." Xie Xuanjin did not blame the lady.

He was pleased that the ladies of prominent families in the capital were so protective of Song Qingning.

But the people in the room...

Xie Xuanjin looked at the closed door, a smile on his lips, but a sudden chill flashed in his eyes.

"My lady thought I was in my room? It seems everyone thinks I'm in my room. I can't bear such a huge misunderstanding! Shouldn't you clear my name?!"

His words were met with unanimous agreement from everyone present.

Just now, both Duke Shen and his son called out "Xie Xuanjin" repeatedly, confirming that the person inside was Prince Huai.

This is clearly an insult to someone's reputation!

The reputation of the Prince of Huai is of utmost importance.

If he were to be branded with a stigma of having an affair, it would likely cause quite a stir in the imperial court.

This innocence should, of course, be returned to the Prince of Huai!

Once the door is opened and the person inside is identified, the Prince of Huai's innocence can be cleared.

Someone in the crowd had a sudden flash of inspiration.

Such a good opportunity to impress the Prince of Huai, without hesitation, Marquis Song stepped forward and shouted:

"Who dares to throw dirty water on my grandson-in-law? I'll be the first to object!"

He strode forward with great pride and kicked open the door.
