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

Startled, Liu glared angrily at Song Qingning, "Song Qingning, are you going to kill me?"

Song Qingning sheathed her sword and said, "Qingning dares not."

Killing her would be too lenient on her!

That's why the leaf didn't pierce Liu's brow.

"Don't dare? I think you've grown too big for your britches!" Madam Liu thought of today's failed plan.

She didn't know where she had gone wrong.

Looking at Song Qingning, he placed all the blame on her, "The Jiang family came to discuss the marriage, why didn't you take the initiative to snatch this marriage away for your cousin?"

Song Qingning listened.

In my previous life, everything was under the control of the Liu family.

Everything went as Liu wished, and she was at peace. As a result, Liu always maintained a dignified demeanor in front of her, as if she regarded her as an ant and looked down on her.

But recently, Liu's temper has worsened, and her eating habits have become unsightly.

On the contrary, the more Liu lost her composure, the calmer Song Qingning became.

"My mother taught me that I should never think about or take anything from my cousin, and Qingning has always kept that in mind," Song Qingning said.

"you……"

Liu was speechless, her breath caught in her chest, and she tried her best to suppress her anger. "Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. As long as the news of Yan'er's marriage to the Jiang family doesn't get out, there's still room for maneuver."

Didn't it get out?

I'm afraid that by tomorrow, the whole capital will know!

Song Qingning sneered inwardly.

Liu continued, stating her purpose for coming today, "I've come to talk to you about something else."

Song Qingning knew what she was going to say and listened quietly.

"You are a woman. Since ancient times, women have been married, devoted to their husbands and children. Who has ever become an official?"

"The Capital City Guard and the Shence Army are both places frequented by men. If you mingle among them, it will ruin your reputation. How will you ever get married then?"

"Stealing men's jobs is outrageous!"

"Your cousin is different. He is a man and the heir of our Yongning Marquis's mansion. He will inherit the mansion in the future. If these two official positions are given to him, you won't have to show your face in public and attract gossip, and your cousin can bring honor to the Marquis's mansion. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Liu spoke gently.

In her past life, she had also spoken kindly to Song Mingtang.

Song Qingning showed slight reluctance, so Liu threatened and ordered her to use force.

The reason they injured her leg, leaving her lame and disabled, was partly because she resisted and didn't give them the result they wanted.

"Did your cousin send you to ask me for an official position?" Song Qingning asked calmly.

In her past life, Song Qingning was heartbroken because Lady Liu favored the children of her eldest son's family and never considered her feelings.

Knowing in this life that she wasn't her mother, she wasn't sad at all.

Liu is not her mother; she is the enemy who caused her family's tragic death in a previous life!

"How can you say that?" Liu said, displeased.

Thinking that Song Qingning was going to defy her, Madam Liu adopted her usual tone, "He is the heir of the Marquis's mansion, and everything in the Marquis's mansion belongs to him. Even if he doesn't want it, you should still offer it to him with both hands. That's your duty!"

Song Qingning had heard these words far too many times.

Just like in her previous life, Song Qingning answered Liu Shi, "Okay."

Liu was stunned.

"You agree?"

After Song Qingning returned to the manor, he repeatedly disobeyed her orders, so Liu was somewhat surprised that he agreed so quickly this time.

"My mother said this is my duty," Song Qingning said.

Liu stared at Song Qingning with suspicion and scrutiny.

After a while, he finally showed a satisfied smile. "That's the right way. Just do your job properly."

"I know you felt a little resentful before, but you must always remember that you are the daughter of the second wife, born out of wedlock, and your status is destined to be inferior to that of the eldest daughter of the first wife."

"It's good that you've come to your senses. From now on, do your best for your cousins. I won't hold your past actions against me against you."

Lady Liu then instructed Song Qingning: "The Emperor has ordered you to rest for three months before taking up your post at the Capital City Commandery. There's no rush at the Capital City Commandery."

"As for the Shence Army, after you go there, don't stand out too much and make some minor mistakes so that the Prince of Huai knows that you are not competent for the position. Then find an opportunity to ask Minister Meng to recommend your cousin to replace you."

Lady Liu could tell that Vice Minister Meng treated Song Qingning very well.

I wonder what it is about Song Qingning that I like.

After giving her instructions, Liu did not linger.

She couldn't wait to tell Tang'er and put his mind at ease.

Song Qingning watched her retreating figure, her smile growing wider.

Song Mingtang's hand was crippled, and this alone was enough to exclude him from officialdom, yet the Liu family still had such extravagant hopes.

Let them have their wildest hopes.

She will no longer be the one to shatter their dreams.

If she won't do it, someone else will!

Song Qingning was appointed as the Left Commandant of the Capital City Division and concurrently served as the Colonel of the Shence Army. The news quickly spread within the Capital City Division and the Shence Army.

Upon hearing the news, Liang Xingjian, the Right Commandant of the Capital Division, immediately went to the residence of the Duke of Shen.

The study of the Duke of Shen's mansion.

Duke Shen Lin, Crown Prince Shen Yue, and Prince Rui Xie Yuqi were all trying to guess the Emperor's intentions.

The Capital City Commandery was responsible for the defense of the capital and had the authority to deploy troops.

After the previous Left Commandant of the Capital was dismissed, the position remained vacant for half a year.

The Capital City Office was divided into two offices, left and right.

Liang Xingjian, the Right Commandant, was in charge of the Right Division.

Liang Xingjian was born into the Liang clan of Fanyang and was the future brother-in-law of Prince Rui, belonging to Prince Rui's camp.

The Prince of Huai has the Shence Army, and the Prince of Rui has always wanted to completely control the Capital Commandery. He has been eyeing the position of Left Commandant for a long time.

Those who were previously nominated in the name of the Shen family have all been blocked.

No one expected that this position would fall to Song Qingning.

"Song Qingning, a woman, actually holds such an important position. She was recommended by Meng Huaizhou, and the Emperor even appointed her as a captain of the Shence Army."

"What is the Emperor thinking? Does he favor Xie Xuanjin as the Crown Prince? Does he intend to cultivate talent for Xie Xuanjin?"

Shen Yue felt extremely uncomfortable whenever he thought of Xie Xuanjin.

That day at the City God Temple, Xie Xuanjin's men held me underwater and I almost drowned.

Unfortunately, he didn't dare to make a big fuss about it and could only swallow his anger.

Duke Shen glanced at Xie Yuqi, sharing the same concern.

Six years after the Crown Prince's death, the position has remained vacant. What if the Emperor truly intends to make Xie Xuanjin the Crown Prince...?

"No, the Emperor favors the Crown Prince the most. Although it was later found that Xie Xuanjin did not poison the Crown Prince, the poison had still passed through Xie Xuanjin's hands. The Emperor's resentment will not simply disappear," Shen Lin said.

He understood their emperor.

The Emperor is sentimental.

Whether it's the relationship between father and son or love.

The Shen family always has one advantage!

Shen Lin comforted Xie Yuqi, "Qi'er, although your mother is no longer here, she lives on in the Emperor's heart. You must believe your father in this."

"I naturally believe that my father deeply loves my mother," Xie Yuqi said calmly.

Those phoenix eyes look very much like those of Consort Shen back then.

"Song Qingning, I hadn't paid much attention to her before." Xie Yuqi had developed a slight interest in Song Qingning.

"It's normal that my cousin didn't notice her, since she was a daughter of a concubine from a noble family," Shen Yue said.

He has always valued family background and social status.

Xie Yuqi smiled but didn't say anything more.

……

Song Qingyan did not break off the engagement with the Jiang family, and the old Marquis Song even said that the two should get married this year!

When Song Qingning heard that she had smashed and destroyed things in the yard, she quickly calmed down.

Song Qingning was surprised.

Two days later, she discovered that the painting she had just finished on her desk had mysteriously disappeared.

Song Qingning then realized that Song Qingyan had taken the painting and was going to make trouble out of it.
