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

"What did you say?"

Liu thought she had misheard.

The maid repeated, "The Jiang family has come to propose marriage and are currently outside the Marquis's residence."

This time, Lady Liu heard it clearly.

Because she heard it so clearly, Liu felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her body went limp, and she almost collapsed.

"Madam," said Liu's mother, helping her up.

Liu took a deep breath, calming herself slightly. "The Jiang family? Weren't they being watched and kept quiet? Why are they here to propose marriage?"

"This...this, this servant doesn't know either."

Mother Liu was also baffled. "Just an incense stick's time ago, the guards there reported that the Jiang family's gates were closed and there was no movement at all. How could they have arrived outside the Marquis's residence so quickly?"

"Madam, what should we do now?"

Liu didn't know what had gone wrong, and it wasn't the time to investigate.

Now that the Jiang family has come to propose marriage, they're still outside the Marquis's residence; who knows how much of a commotion they'll cause.

"What else can we do? Come with me quickly and drive them away!" Madam Liu propped herself up and hurried toward the gate of the Marquis's mansion.

At this moment, the area outside the gates of the Yongning Marquis's residence was exceptionally lively.

The Jiang family's betrothal gifts were carried out in a very neat manner, almost filling the entire street.

The betrothal gifts stretched all the way from the alley entrance to the Marquis's mansion, led by a live goose.

The neighbors from the entire street gathered around to watch the spectacle.

"What? Is the Marquis's mansion frightened or something? Our Jiang family has come to offer betrothal gifts, so surely someone should come out." Madam Jiang's voice was naturally loud.

She specially prepared eighty-eight loads of betrothal gifts today, banging gongs all the way to create a stir.

She wanted to show everyone how lavish her Jiang family was in spending to marry the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yongning.

It's not about climbing the social ladder.

They've been here for a while.

At first, the gate of the Marquis's residence was open, and the gatekeeper went to inform the eldest daughter of the Marquis's residence.

The eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion ordered: "Close the gates, and no member of the Jiang family is allowed to enter the mansion."

The gatekeeper obeyed and then closed the gate tightly.

The fact that the Marquis's residence wouldn't let them in was exactly what Madam Jiang wanted.

Give her more time to flaunt herself in front of others.

Madam Jiang instructed her servants to bring out the wedding candies she had prepared beforehand and personally distributed them to the neighbors who had come to watch the festivities.

The neighbors, having eaten the candy, naturally said nice things.

"The Yongning Marquis's family is truly exceptional. The future mother-in-law came to propose marriage herself, which shows how much she values ​​her future bride. She will definitely be a wonderful mother-in-law who dotes on her daughter-in-law."

"Isn't that right? Such a mother-in-law is very rare. Look at these betrothal gifts. I saw people carrying them just now. They were so heavy. I wonder how many good things there are."

"Is that the groom-to-be? Young Master Jiang is quite handsome."

The words were exceptionally pleasant to hear.

Madam Jiang and Jiang Sheng were very pleased to hear this.

"My son will be taking the imperial examination this year. When he does, he will be married and pass the exam with flying colors. It will be a double blessing. It would be a great deal for the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family to marry my son!" Madam Jiang shouted.

Just then.

The gates of the Marquis's residence opened.

Madam Jiang's words reached Madam Liu's ears without missing a single one.

The scene before her eyes drove Liu to the brink of madness.

"Madam Jiang!" Madam Liu cried out hysterically, instantly losing all composure.

She wished she could kick all of them out immediately.

Madam Jiang glanced at Madam Liu, certain that Madam Liu harbored ill intentions. "Madam Liu, are you going to ruin Qingyan and Sheng'er's good fortune and damage the reputation of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion for your own selfish reasons again? What? Are you going to kick people out again?"

Liu choked.

Those who had received the wedding candy were also quite curious, asking, "Are you kicking people out?"

Madam Jiang complained aggrievedly, "Isn't she trying to drive us away? When we came to visit before, she used her position of managing the household affairs to prevent us from entering the mansion. She even tried to sow discord, saying that the Madam of the Marquis looked down on the Jiang family. Fortunately, my Jiang family is reasonable and saw through her meddling."

"My Sheng'er and Song Qingyan are a perfectly matched couple, their marriage is legally arranged in black and white, and she's determined to break them up!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Liu with accusatory eyes.

"Liu, a concubine's daughter from the second wife's family, actually controls the household affairs of the Marquis's mansion. This is to say that she took advantage of the weak health of the Marquis's wife and usurped the position."

"He bullies the mistress of the house, even meddling in the marriage of the eldest daughter of the main branch, and tries to drive away guests. Who does she take him for?"

People pointed and whispered among themselves.

Every word pierced Liu's lungs.

"Mrs. Liu, won't you let us in?" Madam Jiang's victorious attitude completely dominated Mrs. Liu.

The meaning is obvious.

If she doesn't let them in, she can make the situation even more chaotic.

Let's see who loses face!

Liu was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

dilemma.

By allowing the Jiang family members into the Marquis's mansion, it was tantamount to accepting their betrothal.

They saw that the neighbors from the next alley were also coming this way.

More and more people.

People also came to the old Marquis's courtyard. "Second Madam, the old Marquis heard that the Jiang family came to propose marriage but were stopped outside the mansion. He is angry and said to invite them in immediately."

Liu swayed.

Before she could make a decision, Madam Jiang pulled Jiang Sheng forward.

"Did you hear that? The old Marquis of Yongning has spoken and invited us into the manor. Madam Liu, you are just a concubine's second wife, so don't block our way."

Madam Jiang looked at Liu with a smug expression, and as she walked into the gate of the Marquis's mansion, she deliberately bumped into her again.

The impact caused Liu to stumble.

Eighty-eight loads of betrothal gifts followed into the Marquis's residence.

The servants carrying the betrothal gifts were working extremely hard, which drew sighs from onlookers, who marveled at how grand the Jiang family's eighty-eight loads of betrothal gifts were.

There was no grand ceremony.

It's just heavy.

The Jiang family entered the Marquis's residence, just as Song Qingning finished practicing her sword and came to the front hall.

Carrying loads of betrothal gifts filled the entire front courtyard of the Marquis's mansion.

There are many differences compared to my previous life.

When the betrothal gifts from their previous life arrived, Madam Liu was overjoyed, and Song Qingyan was also delighted.

At that time, Liu said to her with a smile, "Qingning, your legs are crippled, so you are lucky to marry Jiang Sheng. The large dowry shows how much the Jiang family values ​​you. You are not worthy of him. You should thank your cousin for making this a good marriage for you."

Song Qingyan also congratulated her with a smile, "Qingning, you are so lucky to have so many betrothal gifts."

In this life, good fortune belongs to Song Qingyan.

But the mother and daughter couldn't laugh anymore.

"Where is Qingyan? Why don't we see her? And what about the Lady Hou?" Madam Jiang didn't take Liu Shi seriously.

On the Lu family's side, Song Qingning had already informed Chen's mother.

I didn't want things to disturb her here.

As for Song Qingyan...

Upon learning that the Jiang family had come to propose marriage, she kept her door tightly shut.

Whether she appears or not, it won't change the overall situation.

But based on Song Qingning's understanding of her, she knew that Song Qingyan would not simply accept her fate and marry into the Jiang family.

As expected, Song Qingyan arrived late.

She lowered her eyes slightly, as if she had been crying, but her gaze was firm, as if she already had a plan.

"Yan'er..." Jiang Sheng saw her and excitedly tried to go forward.

Liu immediately stood defensively in front of Song Qingyan.

Jiang Sheng glared at Liu Shi with resentment, and made up his mind that the first thing he would do after becoming the legitimate son-in-law of the Marquis's mansion was to drive Liu Shi out.

A moment later, the old Marquis also arrived.

The old Marquis glanced at the betrothal gifts filling the courtyard, his eyes visibly brightening. "The Jiang family has gone to great lengths, so many betrothal gifts, not bad, not bad."

He then instructed the steward, "Find a few people to help count the betrothal gifts."
