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

Xie Rouan, supporting her trembling body, rushed towards Su Ling.

A guess formed in her mind.

That suspicion overwhelmed her with endless self-blame, and she wanted to get an answer from Su Ling.

She was sharp and fierce, her face even contorted with rage. She shoved Su Ling hard, and Su Ling stumbled and fell to the ground.

"It was you! You poisoned my mother?!"

This was the first time Su Ling had seen Xie Rouan like this. Even when Xie Rouan learned that she wanted to become a princess, she wasn't like this; her eyes seemed to want to kill.

Su Ling was momentarily lost in thought.

But she quickly regained her senses, shaking her head at Xie Rou'an with a wronged expression, "No, I didn't, Sister Rou, you have to believe me, how could I possibly poison the Princess?"

"Besides, I would gain nothing from poisoning the princess!"

There are no benefits whatsoever...

"Just now, Miss Su saved the Princess Consort. Her medical skills are superb, even I am amazed. Our Great Jing is about to produce a goddess doctor."

"You saved the Princess Consort, and she was grateful. However, Miss Su is of noble character and even refused the Princess Consort's offer to take you in as her 'adopted daughter'."

"Unfortunately, she later used the debt of gratitude she owed her 'savior' to force Prince Li to marry you!"

Song Qingning remained unhurried and unhurried.

Connecting everything together felt like a slap across Su Ling's face.

With that, how could anyone present not understand?

How could Su Ling not gain anything by poisoning Princess Yu?

This was clearly a premeditated scheme, intended to seize the opportunity to steal the limelight while ensuring that the Princess Consort of Yu and the Prince's Mansion would remember her kindness.

She certainly didn't want to be the "adopted daughter" of the Princess Consort of Yu.

Because all she ever wanted was to become a princess!

For this reason, she even went so far as to poison the Princess Consort of Yu!

Song Qingning just said that she was malicious, and that's absolutely true!

For a moment, everyone looked at Su Ling with disgust and contempt.

Xie Yunli's face was already so dark it seemed like ink could drip from it, and Xie Rouan was so angry her chest heaved.

At this point, there was no need to question her about why she did it.

Xie Rouan's gaze was sharp, and she gritted her teeth. When Su Ling tried to explain again, she raised her hand and slapped Su Ling hard across the face.

With a sharp crack, a searing pain left Su Ling stunned for a long while.

The argument for exporting was rendered meaningless by this slap.

"It seems there's no need to find an inn for Miss Su. Miss Su poisoned my mother and schemed to obtain this 'life-saving grace,' so my royal family has no reason to repay her."

"Not only are we not required to repay the debt, but our royal family will also pursue the matter of Miss Su's poisoning to the very end!"

"According to the laws of our Great Jing Dynasty, even attempted murder is a crime. The evidence is conclusive, and the punishment is thirty strokes of the cane!"

"Someone, go and invite the Prefect of the Capital to come here!"

Xie Rouan gave the order in a loud voice.

At this moment, she was no longer the person who had taken such good care of Su Ling before.

The anger in her eyes sent chills down Su Ling's spine.

"This humble servant will go and fetch my father!"

The daughter of the Prefect of the Capital is also at the flower-viewing banquet today.

She volunteered to take the task and left in a hurry.

Before long, the Prefect of the Capital arrived, bringing with him guards and instruments of torture.

The Prefect of the Capital ordered another search for evidence. A few days ago, a servant in the Prince's Mansion saw Su Ling searching for something on the grass in the courtyard, acting suspiciously as well.

With multiple pieces of evidence combined, Su Ling's path of sophistry was completely blocked.

"The evidence is conclusive. I trouble you, Magistrate of the Capital, to carry out the execution immediately!" Xie Rouan said coldly.

She wasn't afraid of being called cruel; she wanted to let everyone know that if anyone dared to have such thoughts about her mother, she would risk her reputation and show no mercy.

The Prefect of the Capital glanced at Xie Xuanjin and Xie Yunli.

The two nodded, and the Prefect of the Capital immediately accepted the order.

The guards set up the long bench for the cane and went to pull Su Ling away.

Only then did Su Ling gradually come to her senses.

The moment the guards touched her, she instinctively struggled, but how could she possibly be a match for two guards? She was easily lifted up and placed on the bench.

"Let me go..."

Su Ling shouted.

As she shouted, the guard's cane fell to the ground.

Screams echoed throughout the palace.

With just one stroke of the cane, Su Ling felt as if her soul was about to leave her body.

She never imagined that Xie Rouan would be so cruel as to make her suffer like this.

"Sister Rou, spare me! Ling'er is innocent! Ling'er didn't mean to harm the Princess..."

"Sister Rou, I was wrong. Please, for the sake of Ling'er's help along the way, please let them stop fighting..."

"Xie Rouan, how can you be so heartless? I've begged you like this, why are you being so petty?"

"Your mother didn't die. I poisoned her, but I also saved her. I didn't intend to kill her. If I had known this would happen, I would have..."

Under the relentless blows of the cane, Su Ling lost her composure and, due to pain and anger, became incoherent.

She first begged for mercy, but when that failed, she became resentful.

He even regretted not letting Princess Yu suffer from the poison earlier.

As if anticipating her words, Xie Rou'an clenched her fists in anger and interrupted her loudly, "With a vicious heart, plotting against a member of the royal family, adding twenty more accusations wouldn't be too much!"

"Did you hear that? Add another twenty strokes!" the Prefect of the Capital announced.

For an ordinary man, thirty strokes of the cane would be enough to kill him.

She's a woman; if she were given another twenty strokes of the cane, she probably wouldn't survive.

But it was all her own fault. She harmed others first and deserves to be punished. No one sympathizes with her, nor does she deserve sympathy.

The cane struck him again and again.

The air was thick with the faint smell of blood.

Su Ling was in so much pain that it felt like her body wasn't even her own, yet she still didn't forget to shout:

"Xie Rouan, you...you don't know who I am? And Song Qingning...you'll regret this, you'll all regret this!"

"God will punish you, I am..."

Blood was flowing from Su Ling's mouth, and the rest of her words were indistinct.

After an unknown amount of time, fifty strokes were finished, and she was still clinging to life.

not dead!

"Throw her out of the palace, along with her belongings," Xie Rouan coldly ordered.

The guards dragged Su Ling and threw her out.

The smell of blood still lingered in the air.

Princess Yu breathed a sigh of relief, not because she hadn't been poisoned by Su Ling, but because Su Ling's true colors had been exposed.

In this way, there is no need to worry about Rou'an being influenced by her, nor to jeopardize Yunli's marriage.

That Su Ling is truly hateful!

And the key figure in this was Song Qingning.

Princess Consort Yu looked at Song Qingning. She must have seen through the scheme long ago. Then, she had her maids look for evidence and used the flower-viewing banquet to gradually expose Su Ling's ambition and purpose.

Princess Consort Yu was filled with gratitude.

After dismissing the noble ladies, Princess Yu deliberately asked Song Qingning to stay a little longer.

Xie Xuanjin and Xie Yunli seemed to have something to do and went to the outer courtyard.

Princess Consort Yu, Xie Rou'an, and Song Qingning remained in their original locations.

Once the outsiders left, Xie Rouan could no longer bear the self-reproach in her heart and knelt down in front of the two of them.

"Mother, Fourth Sister-in-law, Rou'an is guilty!"
