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

Hatred and anger mingled in Liu's eyes, which were bloodshot.

Song Qingning remained calm. "My cousin is in prison."

Upon hearing Song Qingyan's name, Madam Liu lunged at the door like a wild beast, glaring at Song Qingning through the crack in the door with a ferocious expression. "Don't you dare harm her again!"

"Harm her?!" Song Qingning said sarcastically.

She was merely retaliating, but in Liu's eyes, it was an act of harm.

But Liu Shi switched her son, belittled and suppressed her and her brother, trampled on her flesh and blood, and in the end left not even her bones, yet she took all of this for granted.

The two standards are disgusting.

"You're so good to your cousin," Song Qingning said.

Liu was even more certain that Song Qingning was jealous of Yan'er.

As always, he reprimanded her, "Qingyan is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family. Not only me, but you should also treat her well. This is a matter of hierarchy, and you must abide by it."

Song Qingning reminded her, "But now that Mother has acknowledged your cousin, she is no longer the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family. She is the daughter of the second branch of the family, and she is your daughter!"

She said Song Qingyan was her daughter.

Liu's heart skipped a beat.

In that instant, looking into Song Qingning's eyes, she felt as if Song Qingning knew the truth.

But it was only for a moment before she knew it was an illusion.

She handled what happened back then so secretly and meticulously that no evidence was left behind, so Song Qingning could never know the truth.

But her words still drove Liu to the brink of madness.

Madam Liu sharply corrected her: "She is not! She is the legitimate daughter of the first wife, and with such blood, she will return to the first wife's family."

Such blood ties! How laughable!

Liu's switch of babies deceived everyone, even herself, and she truly believed that Song Qingyan was of the first wife's bloodline.

But what is fake will always be fake; it can never become real.

As for returning to the main branch of the family? Song Qingyan has no chance.

However, Song Qingyan still has value to be used.

"My cousin is in prison, and the most urgent thing is to get her out," Song Qingning said.

"You...you want to save her?" Madam Liu looked at Song Qingning suspiciously, not believing that Song Qingning would save Yan'er.

Song Qingning didn't answer, and turned and walked away.

Lady Liu felt uneasy.

Song Qingning is jealous of Yan'er, so she wouldn't be so kind as to save her. Even if she did, she would definitely have an ulterior motive.

What exactly is her purpose?

The more Liu thought about it, the more worried she became, unaware that Song Qingning's purpose was precisely to make her worry and feel uneasy.

As Song Qingning walked to the courtyard gate, she heard Liu's warning from behind:

"Song Qingning, I don't care what your motives are, if you dare to harm your cousin, I'll take legal action even if it means appealing to the emperor, to get justice for Yan'er. Don't forget, I hold an official title!"

Imperial decree?

Song Qingning paused in her steps.

She had not forgotten Lady Liu's imperial title; everything she had received from her, bit by bit, Lady Liu would return.

Song Qingning had previously agreed with the Prince of Huai that Song Qingyan would be released from prison on the day of her return to her parents' home, along with the Jiang family mother and daughter.

Before dawn that day, the jailer opened the cell door.

The prison cell was in terrible condition; there was no bed, only a pile of weeds in the corner.

The Jiang family mother and daughter lay on the weeds, while Song Qingyan leaned against another corner. The ground was hard, and she had never been so disheveled.

Song Qingyan thought the jailers were going to come and interrogate someone again.

But then the jailer said, "Get out of here!"

"Can I... go now?" Song Qingyan asked uncertainly.

"Yes, you can go now. You're lucky; someone important spoke up for you."

"A distinguished person?" Madam Jiang immediately thought of Prince Rui.

She knew that Sheng'er would find a way for them outside. Although Sheng'er failed the exam, he was still valued by Prince Rui.

The three returned to the Jiang family home.

They were all injured during the severe torture in prison.

Madam Jiang entered Song Qingyan's bridal chamber and took away her dowry. "If it weren't for you, Tong'er and I wouldn't have been implicated and imprisoned, nor would we have been tortured and injured. This is for medical expenses and compensation."

Song Qingyan was so angry she almost vomited blood.

But she was too weak to fight with the old woman.

"What day is it today?" Song Qingyan asked the maid.

The maid replied, "Today is the day for the bride to return to her parents' home."

"Returning to my parents' home? Yes, I can go back to the Marquis's mansion. I want to go back to the Marquis's mansion. The Marquis's mansion is my home. I want to beg my mother, my father, and my grandfather."

Hope ignited in Song Qingyan's eyes.

This Jiang family is no place for a human to live.

"But the son-in-law is not here." Since ancient times, a new bride has to have her son-in-law accompany her on her homecoming to feel honored.

Song Qingyan's face was filled with disgust when she thought of Jiang Sheng.

That night, Jiang Sheng forced himself on her again and again, and she wanted nothing more than to kill him.

She wished he would never be there.

After washing up, Song Qingyan looked somewhat presentable, but her sunken cheeks couldn't hide her haggard appearance, and the injuries left on her hands from the torture were quite unsightly.

Song Qingyan endured the pain, covered it with her sleeve, and went out the door.

Upon returning to the Marquis's residence, Song Qingyan cried out that she wanted to see Madam Lu and the Marquis.

But the steward said that the Marquis had left early in the morning, the Marquis's wife had gone to the City God Temple to offer incense, and even the old Marquis had gone out to have a small gathering with friends.

Song Qingyan was slightly taken aback, then flew into a rage, "Don't they know I'm returning to my parents' home today?"

It's not that he doesn't know; he's clearly deliberately avoiding her.

The steward sighed, "You poisoned the Lady of the Marquis, which broke her heart. The Marquis values ​​his children's character the most, so it's normal for him to be angry with you."

Song Qingyan was furious but unable to refute.

She didn't blame herself for poisoning him, but she hated herself for not poisoning Lu Shi to death.

Since Madam Lu has died, she is in mourning, so her marriage can be postponed.

"Where is Liu?" Song Qingyan thought of Liu.

She hasn't settled her score with Liu yet!

"The Second Madam is in the West Main Courtyard."

Song Qingyan went straight to the west courtyard. When Liu Mama saw her, she exclaimed, "Young Miss!" Liu Shi, who was in the room, rushed to the door.

Through the crack in the door, Madam Liu saw Song Qingyan and immediately burst into tears of heartache.

Song Qingyan's face was gloomy. "Crying, crying, crying, the one who should be crying the most is me. Liu, what about what you said about letting Song Qingning marry in place of you? Liu, I shouldn't have trusted you in the first place. You have harmed me time and time again. I am like this because of you."

Her accusations and the resentment in her eyes tore at Liu's heart, and she couldn't wait to explain:

"Yan'er, I wouldn't harm you. It was Song Qingning who was jealous of you and bribed Zheng Lian'er..."

Liu told Song Qingyan everything that had happened.

Song Qingyan then transferred her hatred to Song Qingning.

"Damn Song Qingning!" Song Qingyan gritted her teeth and punched the door hard, as if she were treating the door as Song Qingning.

But he bumped into the injury on his hand and immediately gasped in pain.

He pulled up his sleeve, and blood started flowing from the wound on his hand again.

"Yan'er, your hands... Did they torture you? It's all that old woman from the Jiang family's fault. Let me see, where else are you injured?"

Song Qingyan lifted her sleeve, revealing whip marks on her arm that extended into places hidden beneath her clothes.

When Liu saw it, she was shocked and resentful that it wasn't Song Qingning who was suffering all of this. "Song Qingning should have suffered all of this for you. If she had obediently married into the Jiang family, you wouldn't have had to endure these hardships."

Song Qingyan seemed to genuinely believe that Song Qingning deserved all of this.

She hated Song Qingning to the core.

But now that things are already set in stone, what can she do?

She didn't trust Liu, but right now, Liu was the only one who would help her!

"Second Aunt, I don't want to stay in the Jiang family. Jiang Sheng tortured me that night; I felt like I was dying! And that mother and daughter in the Jiang family... that's really not a place for a human to live."

Song Qingyan cried out in near collapse, "If I have to spend my whole life entangled with that kind of family, I'd rather be dead! Second Aunt, you have to save me!"

Liu wiped away her tears with heartache, but her gaze gradually hardened. "Alright, I will save you. Second Aunt, please find a way."

She had no choice but to ask that person for help again.

If he knew Yan'er was his daughter, he wouldn't have ignored her.
