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

But who exactly is he?

Countless questions swirled in Su Ling's mind, her heart filled with a mixture of anger and unease.

Once she had sorted out her thoughts, she dared not return to that small courtyard.

She suspected that the person who rescued her was setting a trap!

And his purpose...

Thinking of that jade bracelet, Su Ling had a guess in her mind.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out who this "Young Master Meng" was, and she didn't even have anyone who suspected him.

What made her even more resentful was that "Young Master Meng" was a fake, and all her hopes for rebellion and the honor she desired would vanish like a bubble.

"Who is he? Who exactly is he?"

Su Ling felt as if all her strength had been drained, but the hatred and resentment in her eyes burned like flames.

The gatekeeper of the Duke of Meng's mansion drove her away.

Su Ling wandered aimlessly through the city in a disheveled state, unaware that it had gotten dark.

She walked to a place and heard the sound of horses' hooves. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw a person and a horse stop outside a mansion. She also saw the words "Prince Li's Mansion" on the plaque above the gate. Su Ling subconsciously hid.

Then it quietly peeked out.

"Brother, you're finally back!"

At the entrance of Prince Li's mansion, the light from the lanterns illuminated the faces of Xie Rou'an and Princess Yu.

Xie Yunli leaped off his horse with agility.

Xie Rouan greeted her happily, "Your timing is perfect. After a few more days of rest, it will be the day my brother and Miss Cui get married."

"Mother has made all the preparations, and the Ministry of Rites has also sent people to help with the arrangements. Now we are just waiting for the wedding day so that brother can go and bring sister-in-law back."

The family of three entered the Prince's Mansion and were very happy.

Su Ling stared at the tightly closed door and clenched her fists.

Xie Yunli's silhouette flashed through her mind, and something exploded in her head.

She recognized him!

"It's him, it's Xie Yunli! It's him, why did he lie to me? How dare he lie to me..." Su Ling gritted her teeth, muttering to herself over and over again, her hatred growing stronger.

Perhaps out of sheer hatred and resentment, her blood rushed to her head, she lost her footing and fell to the ground.

Suddenly, a pair of feet came into her view.

She looked up and saw a familiar face.

It was this original owner's elder brother.

"I thought you were dead. How could you be so impulsive? You let Xie Rou'an find something to use against you, and she even kicked me out of the palace! How could you be so stupid? Your stupidity has caused me..."

The man launched into a tirade of complaints.

Before he could finish speaking, Su Ling interrupted him.

"help me!"

A vicious look instantly spread across Su Ling's face.

"..."

The man frowned, wanting to press further, but Su Ling, her face contorted with rage, spoke first, "I'll make Xie Rou'an regret it! I'll make that Cui guy's life miserable! I... I'll find out exactly what he's going to do with that jade bracelet!"

She wanted to make Xie Yunli pay the price!

Su Ling vowed in her heart that she would make sure that the entire Prince Li's mansion would be wiped out without a burial place.

……

The first thing Xie Yunli did upon returning to the capital was to send the jade bracelet to the palace before returning to his own residence.

The following day, Xie Xuanjin went to Fazong Temple in person.

Master Lingguang examined the jade bracelet and said, "Have the Empress wear the jade bracelet along with the previous jade pendant; perhaps it will have an effect."

"Alright, everything will be as the master says."

Xie Xuanjin saw hope in his eyes.

Without wasting a moment, he returned to the palace with the jade bracelet.

Inside Jinhua Palace, Song Qingning was still asleep. He put the jade bracelet on Song Qingning's wrist, and then he heard Xie Yunli requesting an audience.

The Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, someone from the courtyard reports that Su Ling hasn't returned since the day before yesterday. Your Majesty is worried..." Xie Yunli knew that Su Ling was vicious and despicable.

She hoped that "Young Master Meng" would rebel.

He hasn't returned for two days, so he must have realized that everything before was an illusion.

Thinking of what he saw when he went to retrieve the jade bracelet, Xie Yunli frowned even more deeply.

"She said she placed the jade bracelet next to her deceased mother as a burial offering, but judging from the situation, it seems as if her mother was tightly clutching the jade bracelet. I examined her mother's remains and found that her skull was deeply fractured, indicating that she had hit something hard."

"I suspect that the jade bracelet was left on the corpse unintentionally."

Xie Xuanjin: "You mean, her mother's death is related to her?"

"Your Majesty, I only have doubts."

Although it is a suspicion, the truth is not important at the moment.

"If she runs away, so be it. If she reappears and behaves herself, grant her any wealth she desires as a reward for the jade bracelet."

"If she doesn't show up, this matter will be over; but if she causes trouble again..."

Xie Xuanjin spoke in a deep voice, a fierce glint in his eyes.

The rest of the sentence was left unsaid, but the meaning was self-evident.

Xie Yunli understood what he meant.

Then Xie Xuanjin personally poured tea and handed it to Xie Yunli, saying, "Yunli, you've been working so hard for so long because of this matter. Your wedding is just around the corner, so you should rest well these days. Your wedding is the most important thing right now!"

"Your Majesty, I have not suffered any hardship," Xie Yunli said, lowering his eyes.

The two brothers were drinking tea.

Xie Xuanjin knew that Xie Yunli was getting married because he wanted to let go of his past admiration for "Mingyue Xian".

He knew that in Xie Yunli's heart, nothing was more important than the brotherhood they had shared over the years, so many things remained unspoken.

That's why he felt guilty.

Ke Ning'er...

"Yunli, if one day you become interested in that position, just tell your fourth brother, and he will give it to you!" Xie Xuanjin took a sip of tea and looked at the dragon throne.

If someone else heard this, they would surely be filled with fear and unease.

Xie Yunli, however, remained calm.

A rare hint of his former unruly spirit appeared on his face. "Is Fourth Brother perhaps thinking of taking Fourth Sister-in-law to live a life of leisure one day and trying to push me out? I won't fall for that!"

"I'm telling the truth!" Xie Xuanjin said seriously.

He wanted to tell him that he could give him anything in this world except Song Qingning!

Xie Yunli understood.

Especially after hearing his fourth brother talk about his dream and what happened in the dream, he understood even more that the fate of his fourth brother and sister-in-law in this life was destined in their previous life.

It has nothing to do with him.

Xie Yunli smiled with relief, "What I said was true. Wouldn't being a wise prince or a leisurely prince be better than that position?"

"Fourth Brother, don't even think about tricking me into this!"

The Imperial Study was filled with the aroma of tea.

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled.

Soon, the day arrived for Xie Yunli and Miss Cui to get married.

Ever since Song Qingning put that jade bracelet on her wrist, the time she spends sleeping has been getting shorter.

This put Xie Xuanjin at ease.

Having suddenly acquired a jade bracelet, Song Qingning naturally inquired about it.

Xie Xuanjin told her that it was found when the palace was taking stock of the storerooms. He saw it and thought the color suited her, so he put it on her.

The jade bracelet was clear and its color truly suited her.

But Song Qingning still noticed something unusual.

Recently, she has been sleeping for shorter and shorter periods of time and being awake for longer and longer periods of time. Could this be related to the jade bracelet?

That's not all...

"Your Majesty, the gifts for the bride and groom are ready. Shall we depart now?"

Hong Ling's voice pulled Song Qingning back to reality.

Today is Xie Yunli's wedding day, and she and Xie Xuanjin are both going to attend.

"Let's go."

Song Qingning pulled down her sleeve to cover the jade bracelet.

Xie Yunli's marriage was held according to the highest standards for a prince.

The procession of ten miles of red bridal procession was a grand and impressive affair.
