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

Dongzhengyuan.

Song Qingyan, having failed to be granted the title of county princess, is now complaining to Madam Lu about her dissatisfaction.

"My second aunt sent a letter to Song Qingning a long time ago, asking her to use her military merits to petition for me to be made a county princess. She said she didn't receive the letter, but I don't believe her."

"She must have received it, yet she dares to outwardly comply while inwardly disobeying!"

"They even asked the Emperor for those rewards! How shallow! All they see are worldly possessions. How can gold and silver compare to the title of County Princess!"

"Mother……"

Madam Lu was getting a headache from her nagging, so she gently advised her, "Whether you become a county princess or not doesn't matter, you are already a noble lady."

"Noble ladies? In this vast capital, noble ladies are as numerous as hairs on a cow." Song Qingyan's eyes were filled with malice.

She doesn't want to be just a noblewoman!

"If I become a county princess, I will have better options for marriage, and I can marry a prince or nobleman. Everyone will respect me then."

She had already boasted to her girlfriends that she would soon become a county princess.

But Song Qingning ruined them all.

Madam Lu was puzzled by her sudden change in demeanor. "Yan'er, you are engaged, your engagement with the Jiang family..."

"mother!"

Song Qingyan interrupted her sharply.

"The Jiang family has fallen on hard times. Does Mother really want me to marry that damned Jiang Sheng from the Jiang family? Are you even my mother? You don't care about my future as much as my second aunt does."

She didn't want to marry into a declining family like the Jiang family.

Her mother didn't protect her; only her second aunt supported her, and her second aunt treated her better than her mother did.

Song Qingyan glared at Madam Lu with resentment and stormed out of the courtyard.

"Yan'er." Madam Lu chased after her.

However, she was physically weak and couldn't bear it as soon as she reached the door, coughing and wheezing repeatedly.

Madam Chen helped her up and patted her back to help her catch her breath. "Madam, you don't need to worry too much. Miss is still young. She'll be more sensible when she's older."

Is she really that sensible?

Thinking about the changes in her daughter from childhood to adulthood, Madam Lu sighed with worry, "Yan'er's heart is becoming more and more wild."

The marriage between Yan'er and the Jiang family was arranged by the old Marquis.

At that time, the Jiang and Song families were well-matched, but later the Jiang family suffered a misfortune and moved away from the capital. They only moved back a year ago.

During that year, the Jiang family came to propose marriage several times.

"The Jiang family is not as wealthy as before. When Yan'er gets married, I will give her all of my dowry as part of her dowry. It will be enough for her to live a life of luxury."

"When I returned to the Lu residence last time, I asked my father to find a job for Jiang Sheng in the court, and my father agreed."

The Lu family has never been indifferent to Song Qingyan's future.

Song Qingning walked into the west courtyard and heard Madam Lu making plans for Song Qingyan.

But Lu's schemes were not to their liking.

In her previous life, Song Qingyan was determined to marry into a prestigious family. She eventually got her wish and married into the Duke of Shen's mansion in a grand and glorious manner, as a county princess and with all of Lu's dowry.

Song Qingyan looks down on the Jiang family!

Jiang Sheng also entered officialdom under the recommendation of Grand Tutor Lu, but the entire Jiang family complained that the official position was too low and often cursed the Lu family for being stingy.

"The second young lady has arrived." Mother Chen said upon seeing Song Qingning.

Song Qingning smiled and walked towards Madam Lu, not wanting her to be upset about that fake daughter. "Aunt, you should take care of your health."

As she spoke, she took out a brocade box. "These are the Seven-Flower Pills I got from Madam Zhang. My aunt takes one pill every seven days to relieve her cough and asthma symptoms."

"Madam Zhang, Seven Flower Pills?" Madam Lu exclaimed in shock.

Madam Zhang is a renowned female physician of the Great Jing Dynasty. Her Seven Flower Pills are her secret recipe, and a single pill is worth a fortune.

There were six pills in the box.

Madam Lu hurriedly declined, "No, it's too precious. It would be a waste for me to use it. You should keep it for yourself."

"How could we waste it?"

In her previous life, these six Seven Flower Pills were taken by Lady Liu, which played a significant role in helping Song Qingyan and her brother curry favor with the Second Prince.

That would be a waste.

"Aunt, please take good care of yourself," Song Qingning said.

The woman in front of him was too pale and thin; she looked as if a gust of wind could blow her over.

In her previous life, only a year later, she was already so weak that she could hardly get out of bed.

She has already written to Zhang Niangzi, who is traveling, asking her to return to the capital to treat her mother.

She suspected that her mother's weakness was not solely due to the damage caused by childbirth.

Lu reluctantly agreed to accept it, and she sized up Song Qingning.

Song Qingning changed out of her battle robes before coming here.

Every year, the Lu family would make extra clothes for the younger generation, and Song Qingning was among them.

But every time the clothes were delivered to her courtyard, Liu would take them and burn them.

Song Qingning secretly kept one of them, and she wore it specifically to see her mother.

"This dress was made last year." Madam Lu recognized it at a glance. "Last year's style is a bit outdated, and you've grown an inch taller."

When Madam Lu heard that Song Qingning had returned to the capital, she had already selected the fabric.

Now that we know the dimensions, we immediately have someone rush to finish it; it can be done in three days.

The two talked in the room. Madam Lu asked about her experiences on the battlefield, but Song Qingning dared not recount all the dangers of the battlefield.

I'll only talk about the less dangerous ones.

Even so, Madam Lu couldn't help but shed tears of heartache.

The second house is located in the west main courtyard.

Song Qingyan recounted her grievances to Madam Liu.

Madam Liu felt sorry for Song Qingyan and became even more angry with Song Qingning. "Yan'er, I'm sorry to have wronged you. Don't worry, I'll think of another way and make sure you get the title of county princess."

"My second aunt is definitely the best to me, unlike my mother..."

Song Qingyan resented Madam Lu even more, "She actually made me abide by the marriage contract and marry into the Jiang family."

"The Jiang family is not good enough for you. You deserve better," said Madam Liu.

"But the Jiang family has come to our door many times to bring up the marriage agreement. What if they keep bringing it up? I wish it was Song Qingning who was engaged to the Jiang family, not me." Song Qingyan desperately wanted to get rid of the marriage agreement with the Jiang family.

However, Madam Liu did not take the marriage agreement with the Jiang family seriously. "As long as the Jiang family agrees, it's not impossible to replace her with Song Qingning."

Yan'er can't marry into the Jiang family; she'll have to push Song Qingning out of there.

She had done a marriage of convenience once before, and she was willing to do it again for Yan'er.

But the most pressing matter right now is the birthday banquet for Princess Yu in three days.

The princess was forty-two years old. It wasn't her birthday or a major birthday celebration, but she still hosted a banquet for all the official families in the capital who had daughters.

The heir of Prince Yu's mansion is not yet married, and the intention behind this birthday banquet to find him a wife is all too obvious.

Lady Liu originally planned to attend Song Qingyan's birthday banquet after she was granted the title of County Princess.

With her prestigious status, she will surely stand out among all the noble ladies.

But now the plan has fallen through.

Lady Liu thought of the rewards.

At this moment, Liu Mama entered with several pieces of jewelry. "Madam, all the gold, silver, and cloth have been stored away. As instructed, I have selected the best pieces of jewelry."

Each headdress is made with exquisite materials; the hairpins, hair ornaments, temple coverings, and hair ornaments are all beautifully crafted.

Lady Liu exclaimed, "As expected of items from the palace, so exquisite and luxurious, they are a perfect match for Yan'er."

"For me?"

Song Qingyan hadn't looked closely at the front yard earlier, but now she liked it at first glance.

The rewards also included many pearls and jade, as well as a lot of gold and silver.

"I want all the rewards I received today," Song Qingyan said.

As long as she spoke, Madam Liu never objected, saying, "They all belong to Yan'er."

"Three days from now, you will wear these ornaments to the banquet at Prince Yu's residence. If you can catch the eye of Princess Yu or the heir apparent, that would be best. If not..."

Even if you don't like them, there are other talented men.

Lady Liu inquired and learned that the young masters and sons of various families would be attending, and even the princes would be going.

"With Yan'er's looks, they won't look down on her. When you get married, all the rewards Song Qingning received today will be your dowry," Madam Liu said confidently.

Song Qingyan longed for the day she would marry into a noble family and enjoy the grandeur of a ten-mile-long red bridal procession.

Nestled in Liu's arms, she said, "My second aunt is the best to me, unlike my mother. I wish my second aunt were my mother."
