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

"Yes, Song Qingning is a woman, how can she hold such an important position!"

Liu's voice trembled, not from excitement, but from inner madness.

The belittling tone was practically a direct statement that Song Qingning was unworthy!

Meng Huaizhou glanced at Song Qingning with pity in his eyes.

He anticipated that the news would be shocking.

But as a relative of General Song, there was no joy in his tone, but rather a feeling that Song Qingning was unworthy!

"What? Do Madam Song and Miss Song suspect that His Majesty's decision is wrong?" Meng Huaizhou raised his voice, displaying his official authority.

Song Qingyan and Madam Liu were so intimidated that they dared not say a word.

The doubts in the hearts of others were also somewhat suppressed.

Meng Huaizhou coldly flicked his sleeve. "This appointment was reported through multiple levels of government, discussed by ministers, and then personally decided by His Majesty, who affixed the imperial seal. Anyone who has doubts or complaints should speak to His Majesty!"

"No, no!" Old Marquis Song quickly smoothed things over.

Meng Huaizhou smiled again, "Congratulations, Lord Marquis Song!"

Lord Song: "..."

Joy, indeed joy.

But the joy in his heart was tinged with bitterness.

The rank of the Left Commandant of the Capital City Division is almost on par with that of the Marquis of Yongning. Why is it that the fortune of the Marquis's mansion has not fallen on him?

Old Marquis Song forced a smile, but he felt uneasy inside.

Meng Huaizhou handed the letter of appointment to Song Qingning.

Song Qingning knelt down and bowed to receive the gift.

The moment Song Qingning held the appointment letter in her hand, she felt dazed.

In my previous life, the position of Left Commandant of the Capital City was lost due to the machinations of the Liu family and Song Mingtang.

Only when the appointment letter was actually in her hands did she feel at ease.

In this life, Song Qingyan did not receive the title of county princess, and Song Mingtang failed to obtain the identity of Mingyue Xian. Many things have changed.

Their family's fate can definitely be changed!

The day when the family reunites and the second branch of the family is driven out of the Marquis's mansion will not be far off.

Encouraged, Song Qingning declared, "Your subject, Song Qingning, accepts the order and thanks Your Majesty!"

Jiang Sheng looked at Song Qingning with a mixture of jealousy and envy in his eyes.

But soon, it was replaced by a hint of disdain.

A woman enters the court, and in such a military position, what good is it if she is even the Commandant of the Capital Division?

She struggles among a group of men, but can't win against them, and ends up getting into trouble and ruining her reputation. Who would want to marry her then?

Marriage is a woman's ultimate destiny!

Jiang Sheng's jealousy and envy turned into a cold laugh.

Just then, Meng Huaizhou's voice rang out again.

"Lord Song, don't rush to express your gratitude. There is another appointment. You can express your gratitude for it later." Meng Huaizhou helped Song Qingning up.

He took the remaining scroll of the appointment letter from the attendant and unrolled it to read it aloud, just as before.

Everyone was still reeling from Meng Huaizhou's words, "another appointment," and didn't hear what he said next. They only heard:

"Song Shiqing Ning... concurrently served as a captain in the Shence Army."

After Meng Huaizhou finished reading, the room fell silent.

Everyone has their own feelings.

Jiang Sheng's cold laugh froze.

Her eyes immediately turned red with jealousy.

The Shence Army, the Shence Army, the Shence Army is what every military general yearns for. The Shence Army is very strict in recruiting new members, and many sons of marquises want to join the Shence Army for training.

Even an ordinary soldier had no connections.

But Song Qingning... a captain in the Shence Army, commanding countless men!

How did Song Qingning, a woman who holds two positions, come to have such abilities?

Jiang Sheng stared intently at Song Qingning, his gaze burning.

Suddenly he seemed to realize something and finally understood.

"Lord Song, from now on, serve the Great Jing well. The Emperor has high hopes for you, I have high hopes for you, and the Prince of Huai also has high hopes for you!" Meng Huaizhou said.

He then instructed Song Qingning, "You have just returned to the capital and experienced the battle of Youcheng. His Majesty has granted you three months of rest before you take up your post at the Capital City Commandery. However, I heard that the Prince of Huai urgently needs manpower for the Shence Army, so I'm afraid you will have to go there first."

The Prince of Huai.

The tall figure flashed through Song Qingning's mind.

"Yes." Song Qingning bowed to Meng Huaizhou, "Thank you for your help, Vice Minister Meng."

She was truly grateful to this mentor.

Her use of the word "help" further confirmed Jiang Sheng's suspicions.

That's it!

Jiang Sheng's eyes shone brightly, the previous envy and jealousy gone, replaced by confidence and arrogance, as if one day he too could achieve the same.

The old Duke Meng, who was drinking at Chunhui Garden next door, also rushed over upon hearing of these two successive appointments.

"Brother Song, congratulations! This is a great joy for your family!" Duke Meng led the way in offering his congratulations.

Other friends who came along also chimed in.

Congratulations to Lord Song were endless.

"Congratulations to you too." Old Marquis Song recovered from his shock.

Amidst the congratulatory greetings, I gradually lost my way.

The anxiety and worry from before vanished.

Song Qingning really made him proud today!

Based on this, he stopped worrying that Song Qingning, a young woman, had been given such an important position. He felt that it was all due to the good fortune of the Marquis's family.

He was simply born at the wrong time.

If he had been in his prime when the Marquis's mansion was at its peak, he would have been even more formidable than her!

Meng Huaizhou completed his mission and did not stay any longer.

Duke Meng told Marquis Song that he had "important matters to attend to" and left with Meng Huaizhou.

After the carriage from the Duke of Meng's mansion left, the Jiang family members boarded their own carriage.

Madam Jiang was disdainful of Song Qingning's official position. "A woman, becoming an official, and a military one at that, will probably never be able to get married if she's surrounded by men."

"It's just that her daughter became an official, not a concubine or a princess. Look at Liu Shi, she actually fainted from excitement. How pathetic!"

As they were leaving, Liu fainted.

If Song Qingning can become an official, is Sheng'er really inferior to a woman?

However, for those seeking a career in the civil service, the imperial examination was merely the stepping stone.

"Sheng'er, when you excel in the imperial examination, I will hold a grand banquet for our relatives and friends. When you become an official, I will set off firecrackers and hold a three-day, three-night feast to let everyone know that the Jiang family is not to be underestimated!" said Madam Jiang.

Before the change, Jiang Sheng felt pressured.

But at this moment, he had already grasped his future.

It was not of her own ability that Song Qingning, a woman, was able to enter the imperial court as an official.

She just admitted it herself.

"Thank you for your help, Minister Meng."

She was able to hold both positions because the Meng family was helping her.

It seems the relationship between the Song and Meng families is better than he imagined.

He married Song Qingyan, the eldest daughter of the main branch of the family, and became the legitimate son-in-law of the Song family. Couldn't the Meng family also help him make plans?

"Hehe, good. When I become an official, I will make sure my mother and sister are superior people." Jiang Sheng smiled broadly, relaxed, and confident.

On the carriage of the Duke of Meng's mansion.

Duke Meng was unaware of those two appointment letters beforehand.

He was equally shocked, but after the initial shock, he understood.

Duke Meng glanced at Meng Huaizhou.

He feigned anger and rebuked, "The second daughter of the Song family was at least your son's benefactor. You've pushed her into an official career, and now she'll have to face those ruthless people who can devour people without a second thought. I think you're clearly repaying kindness with enmity!"

Meng Huaizhou, however, didn't take it to heart. "I pushed her, so naturally I'll be her protector. Let's see who dares to bully her! Father, don't you think she's very similar to someone?"

Duke Meng lowered his eyes.

It looks very much like someone!

Like his daughter, Mengfu.

Back then, for the sake of the Meng family's overall interests, he married Meng Fu off to the emperor, who was then a prince, thus thwarting Fu'er's aspirations.

He has always felt guilty about this.

Huai Zhou once deeply admired his older sister, which is why he felt a sense of farewell when he saw Song Qingning.

Meng Huaizhou's eyes were burning.

"I want to see what it's like for a woman to walk that path my elder sister once spoke of, a path that women can also walk!"

"I believe in Song Qingning!"
