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

Song Qingning grabbed the hand that was hitting her.

Driven by the grudge of having his leg and arm severed in a past life, Song Qingning sought revenge without showing any mercy.

"Ah, my hand..." Song Qingyan screamed in pain, but still commanded, "Song Qingning, let me go."

Song Qingning not only refused to let go, but also increased the force.

Song Qingyan's wrist felt like it was about to be crushed, and she was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face.

Lu tried to separate the two.

Song Qingning suddenly released her grip.

Song Qingyan knew that Song Qingning was capable of killing enemies on the battlefield, and that she would not gain the upper hand by fighting her, but she was still unwilling to give up. "Mother, Song Qingning disrespects the legitimate daughter and attempted to kill me. You must punish her!"

She put her hat on too hard.

Madam Lu reassured her, "Qingning was a bit too heavy-handed, but it didn't mean she was going to kill someone."

"You're actually protecting her!"

Song Qingyan's eyes were filled with resentment. "I am your daughter. She is a lowly concubine's daughter, only able to have a place because of the main branch. If the Marquis's mansion doesn't want her, she might end up in prostitution..."

"Song Qingyan!" Madam Lu shouted to stop her.

This further provoked Song Qingyan.

Song Qingyan gritted her teeth and left in anger.

Mr. Lu was heartbroken.

Although she was physically weak, she was extremely devoted to Song Qingyan, teaching her music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and how to recognize and treat people.

However, she became increasingly arrogant and spoiled.

Madam Lu apologized to Song Qingning with concern, "Ning'er, please don't take Qingyan's words to heart. This is my daughter, I'll speak for her..."

"Aunt," Song Qingning interrupted Madam Lu.

Song Qingyan is not her daughter, so she has no reason to apologize on Song Qingyan's behalf.

Besides, Song Qingyan is right.

"I pushed her on purpose just now." Song Qingning squatted down and picked up the broken bowl on the ground.

"Lotus seeds and Qihua pills are incompatible. Since my aunt is taking Qihua pills, she should not drink lotus seed soup."

That's just an excuse.

She suspected that Lu's health was not simply damaged by childbirth.

The lotus seed soup that Song Qingyan sent her every month aroused her suspicion.

We'll know the truth about Mother's health when Zhang Niangzi comes to Beijing.

hold on.

……

Song Qingyan went to the West Courtyard to complain to Madam Liu.

Liu's first thought was of the lotus seed soup. "Your mother didn't drink a drop of that lotus seed soup?"

Song Qingyan stopped crying. She never expected that her second aunt was concerned about whether her mother had drunk the lotus seed soup!

"I didn't drink it."

Song Qingyan's eyes were filled with resentment. "I kindly send her lotus seed soup every month, but she always sides with Song Qingning. Who is her real daughter anyway!"

Lady Liu was terrified.

But things quickly returned to normal.

She handled everything perfectly back then, even killing the only person who knew the truth about the baby swap.

The dead keep secrets.

It's a pity about that bowl of lotus seed soup.

To be absolutely sure, she didn't keep the medicine with her; it was delivered by someone every month. If it was wasted this time, she would have to wait until next month.

The Lu family has been drinking it for so many years, so not drinking it for a month won't have any effect.

Thinking of Song Qingning, Liu felt resentment. "Song Qingning really didn't know his place when he came back this time."

She defied her arrangements and dared to treat Yan'er so cruelly; she must be taught a lesson.

"She won't have any more chances to disrespect you in the future. Once your elder brother's identity as 'Bright Moon Immortal' is confirmed, I will arrange her marriage to Jiang Sheng." Madam Liu's eyes were filled with resentment.

Song Qingyan was both surprised and delighted. "Second Aunt, are you going to have her marry in your place?"

"Your future is limitless. It is her good fortune to be able to clear the obstacles for you. Yan'er, just hold on to the great tree of Prince Yu's mansion. In the future, you will become the Crown Prince's principal wife and then the Princess Consort, enjoying unparalleled glory," said Madam Liu.

Song Qingyan nodded in satisfaction.

I've heard that Madam Jiang is mean-spirited, and the Jiang family also has a meddlesome older sister-in-law who loves to meddle in her own family's affairs.

Song Qingning married Jiang Sheng, but the difficult days were yet to come.

She must seize this opportunity presented by the Prince Yu's residence.

Without delay, Song Qingyan changed her clothes and took Mingyuexian's painting to Prince Yu's residence.

She only took three of the six paintings.

She wanted to proceed gradually so that she would have another excuse for her next visit.

Upon arriving at Prince Yu's residence, they were told that the princess had been frightened at her birthday banquet and had not seen any guests recently.

Song Qingyan returned home embarrassed.

After that, he went twice more and finally met Princess Yu.

The princess was delighted with the painting she brought.

Song Qingyan waited for a long time but did not see Xie Yunli.

Finally unable to resist probing, she said, "Your Highness, I've heard that the Prince enjoys landscape paintings. Qingyan also brought one with her. I wonder if the Prince has time to appreciate it?"

It was aimed at her son.

Princess Consort Yu was no fool; she was perfectly aware of Song Qingyan's intentions.

"Miss Song is so kind. Yunli has been busy lately. That night, the Prince's mansion caught fire, and I almost died in the fire. Fortunately, a young lady saved me, and Yunli is helping me find her," said Princess Yu.

Song Qingyan's heart clenched instantly; she sensed danger.

The one who saved Princess Yu was a woman!

If that woman were to use the "life-saving grace" to plot to seize the position of the Crown Prince's wife, given the Crown Prince's filial piety and the prestige of the Prince Yu's residence, it would be difficult to guarantee that she wouldn't succeed.

That woman was her obstacle!

In the following days, Song Qingning painted in the Jinxiu Pavilion, and Liu Shi came to supervise her every day.

Once the finished product was ready, Liu took it away immediately.

Mingyue Xian's latest paintings have been circulating among the public.

There are also rumors that Mingyue Xian has returned to the capital.

The news gradually spread and became increasingly sensational, attracting countless scholars and students who admired Mingyue Xian.

Song Qingning knew that it was Liu who was orchestrating the situation.

She wanted to elevate Song Mingtang to a prominent position in the Dajing art world under the identity of Mingyue Xian.

Song Qingning watched calmly.

Just like in her previous life, the day that Lady Liu chose for Song Mingtang was April 15th.

It was a year for the imperial examinations, which only came around once every three years.

The provincial examination was held in July.

In April, students and examinees had all arrived in Beijing, and poetry gatherings were held frequently, making the literary circles of the capital particularly lively.

The fifteenth of April is a poetry appreciation gathering organized by the imperial court, attracting scholars and students, as well as officials in charge of the imperial examinations.

Lady Liu was drawn to the grand scale of the poetry appreciation gathering.

She wanted to make people "accidentally" discover that Song Mingtang was Mingyue Xian in such a grand occasion.

In his previous life, Song Mingtang stole the show at the poetry appreciation gathering, but a major event occurred at the Marquis's residence the night before the gathering.

The elder brother got into a fight with Song Mingtang and almost died from Liu's beating.

The dispute arose because Song Mingtang suspected Song Shiyin of stealing his things. Without investigating, Liu Shi hastily subjected Song Shiyin to private torture.

After her rebirth, Song Qingning secretly kept an eye on Song Shiyin.

She gained some new insights into her brother.

Song Qingning also had a new guess about why Liu had taken private punishment against Song Shiyin.

Early that morning, Song Qingning heard that her grandfather had left the mansion.

Just like in my previous life.

Lord Song has an appointment with a friend today.

I had just finished a cup of tea with my friend when a sorcerer stepped forward and exclaimed in surprise, "This gentleman is surrounded by a purple aura; it's a sign that a great joyous occasion is about to unfold!"

Lord Song thought the other party was a fraudster.

He is always shrewd; no one can fool him.

Just as they were about to drive the sorcerer away, he added, "This gentleman has a distinguished person in his family who will elevate your household to unprecedented heights, but unfortunately..."

The warlock abruptly changed the subject.

Seeing him shake his head, Old Marquis Song's curiosity was piqued. "What's a pity?"

"It's a pity that after tonight, with your esteemed guest gone, not only will you lose any greater glory, but you won't even be able to maintain your current level of power."

"If you don't believe me, sir, you can go to the crabapple tree in the southwest corner of the mansion and take a look. There you will find the birth date and time of this noble person."

The warlock left after saying that.

Lord Song parted ways with his friends early on.

On the way back to the manor, the sorcerer's words echoed in his mind again and again.

Upon returning home, he summoned the steward and asked, "Where in our manor are there any crabapple trees?"

After a moment's thought, the steward said, "There is a crabapple tree in the Bamboo Green Courtyard in the West Wing. This is the only crabapple tree in our mansion."

Zhucui Courtyard is located to the southwest of the Marquis's residence.

The old Marquis's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately rushed towards Zhucui Courtyard.

He wanted to see if it was really as the sorcerer said, that there were birth dates and times under the crabapple tree.
