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

Princess Yu was asking about Song Qingning.

She disliked Su Ling and didn't believe Su Ling would save her.

Of all the people present, Song Qingning was the most reliable in her eyes, and she trusted what she said!

Song Qingning realized the trust that Princess Yu had placed in her.

Song Qingning lowered her eyes and nodded to Princess Consort of Chaoyu.

On the surface, Su Ling did indeed "save" Princess Yu. As for what she did in private, it's all speculation. To convict her, there needs to be solid evidence!

Now, let's go along with Su Ling's wishes and see what her true purpose is.

Upon receiving the answer, Princess Yu's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly.

To onlookers, Princess Yu had been staring at Su Ling the whole time, and when they heard her use "she" in her question, they assumed that Princess Yu had just woken up and was not yet fully conscious.

Su Ling felt the same way.

She was very pleased with herself.

She saved Princess Yu and became her benefactor, so naturally she would be extremely grateful to her.

But at this time, she must be humble and loyal!

Before Princess Yu could express her gratitude, Su Ling smiled and said, just as she had expected, "Ling'er only did a small favor; Princess Yu need not worry about it."

She added, "Besides my master and brother, only Sister Rou is kind to me. I care about the people Sister Rou cares about, so no matter what, I will do my best."

He is humble, loyal, and of truly excellent character.

However, he was humble, yet eager to claim credit; he valued loyalty, yet was also eager to demonstrate that loyalty.

A slight smile played in Song Qingning's eyes as she continued to watch her "performance" quietly.

Su Ling's words were quite effective for those involved.

Xie Rouan was moved. "Ling'er, thank you. If it weren't for you today, Mother..."

Thinking back to what had just happened, Xie Rouan felt a wave of fear.

Thankfully, it was a close call.

Princess Yu also came to her senses. Su Ling had saved her life, so she could be considered her savior.

Despite both being saviors, Princess Yu felt instinctively grateful and fond of Song Qingning, but she felt no gratitude or fondness towards Su Ling.

Is it because of preconceived notions and a sense of distrust towards her?

Princess Consort Yu thought so.

But she did save her after all, so we should thank her.

"You saved me, what reward do you want? Gold and silver jewelry, real estate and shops. You know medicine, I can open a clinic for you."

Princess Consort Yu was very reluctant to part with it.

But none of these are what Su Ling wants.

Gold, silver, jewelry, real estate, shops—none of them can compare to the allure of becoming a princess.

Su Ling glanced at Xie Yunli and the young emperor standing next to Song Qingning out of the corner of her eye.

After meeting the young emperor, she had bigger goals, but she didn't want to give up on this princess consort.

She was chosen by destiny; all the good things in this world, including people, should belong to her!

Su Ling was full of confidence, but on the surface she appeared uninterested in material possessions. "Ling'er thanks Your Highness for your kindness. I don't want any of these things. I saved Your Highness without any ulterior motives."

No ulterior motive?

Song Qingning lowered her eyes, not because she had no ulterior motives, but because she had much more to gain.

Su Ling's words were sincere, as if she truly meant what she said and had no ulterior motives.

Princess Yu saw that sincerity and began to doubt herself.

Perhaps I really did misunderstand Su Ling before.

She cares too much about Rou'an and is afraid that she will be deceived by the people around her, which is why she is particularly wary of the people around her.

Princess Consort Yu looked at Su Ling with much gentler eyes, "I didn't expect you to be so skilled in medicine, and so unworldly, so loyal and righteous. You are truly a good girl."

Immediately, the imperial physicians echoed this sentiment, praising Su Ling's superb medical skills.

Su Ling was extremely satisfied with the repeated praises.

Even Xie Yunli's gaze towards her was no longer as harsh as before.

Everything went as she wished.

Next, she would make good use of the fact that she was the savior of the Princess Consort of Yu to win over Xie Yunli.

Just as she thought this, she heard a voice slowly emerge:

"Miss Su is a divine physician who saved Princess Yu's life. She is Princess Yu's savior. Miss Su is loyal and righteous, so there is no need for thanks. However, the Prince's Mansion cannot remain silent."

The one speaking was Song Qingning.

Su Ling was somewhat surprised; she actually spoke up for her?!

As soon as Song Qingning finished speaking, Xie Yunli agreed, "Fourth Sister-in-law is right. Miss Su saved Mother Consort, and the Prince's Mansion should express its gratitude."

Xie Rouan nodded, "Yes, we should express our gratitude, but how should we do so? Ling'er doesn't like worldly things..."

Xie Rouan frowned, thinking about how to express her gratitude in a way that was not worldly but would also please Ling'er.

Just then, Song Qingning had an idea.

"Miss Su is a wonderful person. She cherishes her friendship with Rou'an and calls Rou'an 'Sister Rou.' Why don't you, Your Highness, take Miss Su as your goddaughter? I will also bestow upon Miss Su the title of County Princess. In this way, Miss Su and Rou'an can be like sisters, and the Prince's Mansion will also be grateful for Miss Su's life-saving grace. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?!"

Song Qingning said.

The suggestion surprised everyone present.

Xie Rou'an immediately beamed with joy, "Good, good, good, this is a good idea! Mother, would you please take Ling'er as your goddaughter?"

Xie Rouan acted coquettishly.

Princess Consort Yu looked at Song Qingning, and naturally she was willing to follow her suggestion.

We will adopt Su Ling as our goddaughter, and then, in the name of the Prince's Mansion, find her a good husband and prepare a generous dowry. We will also have Yun Li protect her for the rest of her life. In this way, we can repay the life-saving grace.

"Of course..." Princess Consort Yu agreed.

A sharp voice suddenly rose in pitch, interrupting her.

"No! Absolutely not!"

Perhaps he was too anxious, because even his voice cracked.

Everyone looked over and saw that Su Ling's expression was strange, and there was visible resistance between her brows.

She was unwilling to become the adopted daughter of the Princess Consort of Yu.

Even the noble ladies listening to all this outside the door exchanged bewildered glances.

The adopted daughter of the Princess Consort of Yu, with the title of County Princess, a title that noble ladies would kill for, yet she refused?!

Princess Consort Yu, Xie Yunli was also surprised.

Xie Rouan was also surprised that Su Ling would refuse. She was stunned for a moment, then asked urgently, "Why? Ling'er, you said your master died, your father was not kind to you, and your mother passed away. Before she died, she asked you to come to the capital to find your aunt to take you in."

"You don't know where your aunt lives; you haven't found her yet."

"You can find a concubine as you please; it doesn't conflict with becoming my mother's adopted daughter. Don't you want to be my sister?"

Su Ling tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart.

Sisters? Xie Rouan thinks too highly of herself.

In her eyes, she was nothing more than a pawn, a stepping stone.

If she were adopted as a goddaughter by the Princess Consort of Yu and become sisters with Xie Rou'an, how could she still be a princess consort?

So, no!

Realizing that she had reacted too strongly, Su Ling took a deep breath and quickly regained her innocent demeanor.

"Sister Rou, it's not that Ling'er doesn't want to be your sister, it's just that Ling'er is unlucky and unworthy to be the princess's adopted daughter."

If she's not worthy of being the princess's adopted daughter, then what is she worthy of?

To be a daughter-in-law?

Song Qingning raised an eyebrow and immediately understood Su Ling's intention.
