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

"Rou'an let the wolf into the house, harming her mother, her fourth sister-in-law, and almost her brother. It's all Rou'an's fault. If Rou'an had been more discerning, none of this would have happened!"

Xie Rouan still felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about everything Su Ling had done.

She could not forgive herself if anything happened to her mother, her fourth sister-in-law, or her brother.

You are wrong.

Princess Consort Yu always doted on her daughter, and today she let her kneel.

"Since you know you've made a mistake, for the next month you will kneel properly before the Buddha in the Buddhist temple, firstly to reflect on your mistake, and secondly to pray for the child in your fourth sister-in-law's womb."

This is the lightest punishment she could receive.

After saying that, he looked at Song Qingning and said, "Today's events are thanks to your fourth sister-in-law. If it weren't for her, who knows what would have happened if Su Ling had been entangled with us."

After the evidence appeared, Xie Rouan suddenly understood everything her fourth sister-in-law had done.

She looked at Song Qingning, her eyes glistening with tears.

She was about to kowtow, but Song Qingning helped her up instead.

"Fourth Sister-in-law..."

Xie Rouan couldn't stop the tears in her eyes and burst into tears. "Fourth Sister-in-law, Rouan is stupid, Rouan is too foolish. Su Ling, she... I shouldn't blame Su Ling. Su Ling is vicious, but it's all because of me that she let the wolf into the house and brought trouble to everyone."

Xie Rouan cried so hard she could barely breathe.

The light that once shone in their eyes seemed to have been extinguished by this incident.

Princess Yu and Song Qingning both hoped that she would learn from this experience, but they did not want to see her lose her former glory because of it.

"How could a dignified Princess Rou'an be a fool? Of course, she's not stupid either!" Song Qingning smiled and took her hand.

"You've been traveling and it's been a tough journey. Having someone accompany you and support you along the way makes them more trusting than usual. If she's approaching you with ulterior motives, she'll only be showing you her best side. When you're caught up in something, it's impossible to guard against everything. How can you be blamed?"

"Besides, you saw her clearly just now and didn't hesitate, so you don't need to blame yourself, and you didn't do anything wrong."

"Fourth Sister-in-law..."

How could Xie Rouan not know how much her fourth sister-in-law cared for her?

Something inside me was touched, and tears welled up uncontrollably.

"Look at you, your makeup is all ruined from crying. You've lost your composure in front of your fourth sister-in-law. Go back to your room and tidy yourself up," Princess Consort Yu instructed.

The goal is to get her away from us.

Xie Rouan understood her mother's meaning, wiped away her tears, and withdrew.

Only Princess Yu and Song Qingning remained.

Princess Consort Yu sent Xie Rou'an away so she could speak privately with Song Qingning.

For a long time, Princess Yu remained silent.

She hesitated, deliberating.

Song Qingning could tell. "We're all family. If you have something to say, please feel free to say it."

Princess Consort Yu was slightly taken aback.

In an instant, the struggle and hesitation in his heart dissipated, and he sighed, "I can't hide anything from you."

As Princess Yu looked at Song Qingning, a thought suddenly occurred to her: how wonderful it would be if Song Qingning were her daughter-in-law.

But the thought vanished in an instant, and he dared not linger on it for even a moment.

She was Xuan Jin's wife; there was no other possibility.

Princess Consort Yu took a deep breath and said with a smile, "The daughters raised by the noble families in the capital are all excellent, which is why they are the most difficult to choose. I am overwhelmed by the choices, so I would like to ask Your Highness to choose one for Yunli."

Song Qingning was very surprised.

Let her choose one person?

What right does she have to make decisions for Xie Yunli?

The previous suggestion to take an eye on the matter was merely a temporary measure.

"No, no!" Song Qingning hurriedly waved her hand. "When Prince Li marries, it must be because he likes the woman himself."

A hint of sadness appeared in Princess Yu's eyes.

Do you like it?

If I like it, there's no need to hold a flower-viewing banquet today.

Princess Yu could no longer dwell on this matter.

Just then, Xie Xuanjin and Xie Yunli returned.

Xie Xuanjin was taking Song Qingning back to the palace. The two bid farewell to Princess Yu and left the palace.

Princess Yu and Xie Yunli watched the two leave, lingering for a long time. Xie Yunli heard Princess Yu sigh, pondered for a while, and then said, "Mother, let's choose Miss Cui as the princess consort."

The same choice as before.

At the flower-viewing banquet just now, Xie Yunli only uttered the word "Cui", which surprised Princess Yu.

Today, at the flower-viewing banquet, these noble ladies all showcased their talents.

Some were skilled in painting, others in swordsmanship, and all bore a faint resemblance to Song Qingning. Only Miss Cui bore no resemblance to Song Qingning whatsoever.

She thought Yunli would choose a "shadow".

Unexpectedly...

Upon closer reflection, she understood Yunli's intention.

Her son is a gentleman, and he would not allow an innocent woman to be a "shadow".

That's so unfair to the woman.

Since he has decided to marry, he is sincere and will devote himself wholeheartedly to the marriage.

Princess Consort Yu took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Very well, the Cui family is a distinguished family, and Miss Cui is very pleasing in both personality and appearance. I like her very much as well. I will make preparations and go to the Cui family to propose marriage myself."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mother."

Princess Consort Yu immediately began making arrangements.

She had already prepared the betrothal gifts and instructed the steward to load them onto the carriage. She couldn't even wait a day; just an hour after the flower-viewing banquet ended, the Princess Consort of Yu arrived at the Cui residence.

Only an hour later, the news that Princess Yu had gone to the Cui family to propose marriage spread throughout all the households.

Putting aside his status as a prince, Xie Yunli himself was an excellent choice for a son-in-law in terms of character, appearance, and talent, and many noble ladies had long admired him.

The news sparked regret and disappointment among some.

Some people, however, were very happy.

Liang Shumin breathed a long sigh of relief, happily went back to her room to pack her bags, and an hour later, she embarked on her journey through the martial world.

Only a letter was left in the room.

The letter was handed to Madam Liang by a maid, and Madam Liang was so angry that she trembled all over.

"She, she, she, she just wouldn't stay a moment longer," Madam Liang said, pointing outside the hall, her face full of anger.

Today is a day off, and both Liang's father and Liang Xingjian are at home.

Also in the hall were Liang Shuyi and Liang Xingjian's wife.

Liang Shuyi has given birth to a boy, who is now several months old. At this moment, the baby is being held by Liang's father and is being made to giggle.

Liang Xingjian comforted Madam Liang, "Mother, you and Minmin agreed beforehand that if this matter didn't work out, you wouldn't restrain her and would let her do whatever she wanted. You know she's a free bird."

"I know, I know, but I didn't know she was like this..." Madam Liang wanted to say that Liang Shumin was useless and couldn't even compare to the Cui family's daughter.

But she couldn't bear to label her daughter as "unworthy".

Shumin was skilled in martial arts and had a small reputation in the martial arts world. She was no less capable than other noble ladies from prominent families in the capital.

"Mother, Minmin loves the martial world, let her go," Liang Shuyi gently persuaded. As a daughter, she understood her mother's thoughts. "Mother also wants to let her go, doesn't she?"

During this time, Liang Shumin felt extremely uncomfortable staying at home.

It's obvious to everyone.

It was clear to everyone that Mrs. Liang was heartbroken.

The noble ladies of the capital each had their own unique charm, and when Prince Li was selecting a consort, Shumin's chances were not particularly high.

My mother knew this too.

Knowing this, yet still making such a promise with Shumin, meant that he already harbored the intention of letting his daughter leave.

But if she really leaves, how could she not be heartbroken?

Mrs. Liang felt very wronged. "She didn't even say goodbye properly, just left this letter. What kind of letter is that?! I'll have to give her a good talking to when she comes back next time!"

"Yes, yes, tell me properly, I'll talk to her!"

Liang Xingjian, Liang Shuyi, and their wives exchanged smiles, and the Liang family was filled with joy amidst the baby's laughter.

Meanwhile, Xie Yunli brought someone back to a small courtyard under his name.
