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

When exposed to the truth, the air suddenly fell silent.

The birdsong was melodious in the early morning. Xie Xuanjin's eyes flickered helplessly for a moment, then his handsome face darkened.

Besides him, the old man was the most cunning and ruthless in the Prince of Huai's mansion.

He looks so innocent, he's really good at pretending!

Xie Xuanjin's eyes flashed with danger as he glanced at Uncle Qin. "Something happened in the Shence Army last night, and I went to handle it."

"Oh, yes, yes, it was this old servant who forgot. This old servant deserves to die, this old servant deserves to die." Uncle Qin hurriedly begged for forgiveness in a state of panic.

"The second young lady went to Taiping County. The Shence Army camp and Taiping County are in opposite directions, one to the east and one to the west."

"This old servant has misunderstood, Second Miss, please don't misunderstand."

Uncle Qin said with a smile.

Xie Xuanjin's expression grew increasingly grim.

"This humble woman would not dare to misunderstand," Song Qingning said.

Even so, she stared intently at the magnolia petals on Xie Xuanjin's shoulder.

The Qionghua flower is very common in Youcheng.

However, there is only a large forest of magnolia flowers near the capital, on the road from the capital to Taiping County.

In May, the magnolia flowers bloom in abundance.

Song Qingning was certain that the person who had been following her closely all night and helped her quickly find Lady Zhang was none other than Prince Huai, Xie Xuanjin.

But he refused to admit it.

If you don't want to admit it, then don't admit it.

Ultimately, she should thank him.

Song Qingning took out the city exit token. "Last night, Your Highness lent me the token and the Snow Treading Manual, which enabled me to summon a doctor. I will certainly repay Your Highness's kindness."

repay……

Xie Xuanjin didn't like those two words, perhaps because he was annoyed by Uncle Qin's explanation of "there's no silver buried here".

Xie Xuanjin frowned: "How will you repay it?"

He asked the question, but seeing the stunned look on Song Qingning's face, he felt it was inappropriate.

Just as he was about to say, "I don't need you to repay me," Uncle Qin spoke up again, "Your Highness hasn't had breakfast yet. Why don't you have breakfast with Your Highness, Second Miss? That would be a way of repaying him."

Xie Xuanjin: "..."

"Second Miss, you won't refuse, will you?" Uncle Qin looked at Song Qingning.

She couldn't help but sigh, "My lord always eats breakfast alone; he's so lonely."

The Prince of Huai, who commanded 100,000 Shence Army soldiers, was portrayed as pitiful.

Song Qingning looked at Prince Huai.

Seeing his gloomy expression, it seemed he didn't agree to her having breakfast with him, but didn't want to send her away.

Song Qingning tactfully replied, "This humble woman has already eaten."

She had barely finished speaking when her stomach started growling, exposing her lie.

"..."

This time, it was Song Qingning's turn to be embarrassed.

A wave of heat rushed to my cheeks as I heard Xie Xuanjin say, "Take the Second Miss to the flower hall for breakfast."

Xie Xuanjin left after saying this.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Uncle Qin happily accepted the order, and then said to Song Qingning, "Second Miss was exhausted last night. Even if you have eaten, you will get hungry again soon. Just eat a little more."

Song Qingning couldn't refuse again.

I reluctantly followed Uncle Qin to the flower hall.

In the flower hall, Xie Xuanjin was already sitting at the table having breakfast.

There were only two stools on the round table, and the two stools were too close together.

"Second Miss, please have a seat." Uncle Qin gestured for her to sit down next to Xie Xuanjin.

Song Qingning glanced at the Prince of Huai, saw that he was expressionless, and sat down nervously.

The two were standing too close together, and Song Qingning felt a little nervous.

"Second Miss, please don't be shy. Just treat the Prince's Mansion as your own home," Uncle Qin reassured her.

He then said to the Prince of Huai, "Your Highness, it's best to eat in a pleasant mood for better digestion, especially breakfast. Tone down that aloof demeanor and don't frighten the Second Miss. Smile a little..."

Qin Bo asked the Prince of Huai to smile.

Song Qingning became even more nervous.

How could the dignified Prince of Huai tolerate such insolence from his servants? But the expected reprimand did not come.

Song Qingning glanced at Xie Xuanjin with surprise.

Xie Xuanjin didn't laugh, but he also didn't have the cold expression he had before.

The two ate breakfast at the table without speaking.

Song Qingning was really hungry.

I ate a little to whet my appetite, and then focused solely on the food in front of me.

Uncle Qin watched the two of them having breakfast, and they looked just like a newlywed couple.

Uncle Qin's smile couldn't hide his satisfaction, and he blurted out, "If only I could have someone to dine with like this every day."

Xie Xuanjin's gaze suddenly turned cold as he swept it towards Uncle Qin, as if warning him not to cause any more trouble!

The air around me suddenly turned cold.

Song Qingning quickly tried to ease the tension with praise: "Now that Your Highness has married a princess, she will naturally be by your side. Your Highness is a good person, kind-hearted, and handsome. The princess you marry will surely be beautiful and kind, and you and Your Highness will have a loving marriage."

However, in her previous life, Prince Huai never got married until her death.

However, there are many rumors circulating.

For example, the Empress Dowager's niece, Miss Xue, fell deeply in love with Prince Huai.

For example, Shen Wan'er, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Shen's mansion, disregarded the feud between the Shen and Meng families and took the initiative to ask the emperor to grant her a marriage at a banquet in order to marry the Prince of Huai.

Both Miss Xue and Shen Wan'er are of a status that is worthy of being matched with the Prince of Huai.

I just don't know which beauty His Highness Prince Huai married.

Song Qingning's praise seemed to have a good effect.

Afterwards, the Prince of Huai seemed to be in a very good mood, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became much more relaxed.

Breakfast was nearing its end.

Xie Yunli called out "Fourth Brother" from outside the door, his voice growing louder as he approached.

A moment later, Xie Yunli burst into the flower hall with a painting in his hand. "Fourth Brother, come quick, I've made a major discovery."

Xie Yunli seemed to only have Xie Xuanjin in his eyes. As soon as he entered the room, he grabbed Xie Xuanjin, pulled him to another table, unfolded the painting he had brought, and looked excited.

"Fourth Brother, look!" Xie Yunli unfolded the painting and pointed directly to a certain spot on it.

Xie Xuanjin recognized the painting as Mingyue Xian's work at a glance.

It's a newly painted work.

The brushstrokes are delicate yet unrestrained.

"His painting skills have improved again," Xie Xuanjin said, then his gaze fell on the spot Xie Yunli was pointing to.

It looks like there was a little bit of rouge accidentally smeared on the painting.

Rouge for women!

"It wasn't him, it must have been her!"

Xie Yunli's eyes gleamed with barely concealed excitement. "This painting was just painted, so the chances of it circulating outside are very small, and the chances of it being dirtied by someone else are even smaller."

"I guess this rouge got on accidentally while I was painting."

"Fourth Brother, Mingyue Xian is a woman!"

As Xie Yunli uttered the last sentence, his heart trembled.

He never imagined that Mingyue Xian might be a woman. Not only him, but probably no one had ever considered this possibility.

Several great painters have emerged in the history of Dajing's literary circles.

But without exception, they were all men.

Mingyue Xian was skilled in landscape painting. His landscape paintings depicted winding mountains and rivers with a majestic momentum, and people naturally felt that only a man could paint such a grand scene.

But Mingyue Xian is also skilled in painting and arranging flowers and birds...

This revolutionary realization shocked Xie Yunli, leaving him somewhat at a loss. "Fourth Brother, could she really be a woman?"

Xie Xuanjin stared at the rouge on the painting.

Even if it were a woman, this painting would likely have ill intentions.

"How did you acquire this painting?" Xie Xuanjin asked.

Xie Yunli's attention was focused on the painting, but then he suddenly remembered, "Someone delivered it to the gatekeeper of Prince Yu's residence, saying it was for my mother to appreciate. I saw it was a painting, so I took a look."

Seeing the marks on the painting, this guess popped into his mind, and he immediately took the painting to find his fourth brother.

They didn't ask who the person who delivered the painting was.

Perhaps he could go back and ask the gatekeeper to find out who sent it.

Maybe we can find Mingyue Xian.

Just then, the crisp sound of a porcelain spoon lightly touching a porcelain bowl came from the table, and Xie Yunli looked towards the dining table.
