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

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Madam Lu changed her previous reclusive lifestyle and went to any banquet in the capital.

If Ning'er marries the Prince of Huai, she will need the help of her maternal family even more, so she needs to maintain good relations with all the families.

Madam Lu returned to the Lu residence again.

Grand Tutor Lu did not live in the capital in his early years. His two older brothers and their wives were serving outside the capital.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law are now in charge of the Lu family.

When Song Qingyan got married, Madam Lu came to add to her dowry, but Madam Lu returned home and did not invite Madam Lu to the small banquet in gratitude.

Song Qingyan poisoned Madam Lu, and only then did Madam Lu realize the reason behind Madam Lu's actions.

"Jing'er, Song Qingyan did something despicable by poisoning her mother. She has no conscience. Just pretend you never had this daughter. It's all Liu's fault." Madam Lu also disliked Liu.

When the Liu family had nowhere to stay in the capital, they came to the Lu family for help, and the Lu family kindly took them in.

Liu was not well-behaved while living in the Lu family. She had previously tried to seduce two of Lu's elder brothers, but failed.

"She's wicked and has been taking advantage of your poor health all these years, flaunting herself everywhere. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was the mistress of the Marquis's mansion. She's corrupting Qingyan, and I think she's doing it on purpose," said Madam Lu.

"She did it on purpose." Madam Lu hated Madam Liu for switching the child, but she didn't hate Madam Liu for corrupting Song Qingyan.

Song Qingyan is Liu's daughter, and this matter cannot be told to my sister-in-law yet.

"Sister-in-law, you're right. I'll just consider Song Qingyan not my daughter. She's close to Liu Shi, and Liu Shi likes her too, so I'll let them be mother and daughter," said Madam Lu.

Madam Lu was surprised that she could think so clearly, and thought it was a good thing. "It's best that you think this way."

That ungrateful daughter is better off without.

Then I thought of Liu's daughter.

Madam Lu felt indignant. "I have met Liu's daughter, Qingning. How could someone like Liu give birth to such an upright daughter, and Liu's son even topped the imperial examination! What good fortune did she accumulate?"

Mr. Lu smiled.

That wasn't Liu's good fortune, but hers.

But the two children had suffered too much. "Sister-in-law, I've come to you today because I have a favor to ask."

"We're family, so we don't need to beg. If you have anything to say, just tell me." Madam Lu held Lu's hand.

My sister-in-law is easygoing and unambitious; she dislikes competition and is easily taken advantage of.

She hadn't had a good time in the Marquis's mansion all these years, but she didn't say anything, and as his sister-in-law, she couldn't very well speak up for herself.

She actually wished she were more assertive and calculating.

"My sister-in-law's brother is the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Ning'er is an official in the court, and she will inevitably encounter some thorny issues. She is also a woman, and there are still some officials who are not satisfied with her. I hope that the Vice Minister will take good care of her." When Lu mentioned Song Qingning, her eyes were kind and gentle.

"Are you speaking up for Liu's daughter?"

Madam Lu thought she was confused and worriedly touched Madam Lu's forehead.

Madam Lu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm not confused. Ning'er is different from Madam Liu. The reason I'm feeling better is because Ning'er invited Madam Zhang to take care of me for three months."

"Mrs. Zhang?"

Lady Zhang is the most outstanding physician in Dajing after Physician Ling.

She was rarely in the capital, and there was no news of her returning. Madam Zhang came back specifically for Jing'er.

"She found a good doctor for you, so she must be different from Liu Shi. I'll talk to my brother and ask him to take good care of you."

After thanking Madam Lu, the two women chatted for a while before Madam Lu returned to the Marquis's residence.

The Yongning Marquis's Residence.

Since gaining her freedom, Liu has kept a low profile in the courtyard these days, not daring to come out and attract attention.

Liu felt no pity for Liu's mother's passing.

She asked another old woman in the courtyard to inquire, and heard that Liu Mama, fearing the torture in prison, bit off her tongue and committed suicide after only one night in the Jingzhao Yin prison.

The body was thrown into a mass grave.

Liu had no doubts and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Lu's repeated departures to banquets weighed heavily on Liu's mind.

She thought that Lu Shi was only putting on a brave face at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet because of her health condition, but when she saw Lu Shi's drastically changed complexion, Liu Shi really panicked.

She had been taking acacia seeds for many years. Even if she stopped for two months, the residual poison in her body would prevent her from recovering so quickly.

Lady Liu became suspicious.

She inquired privately and found that the Dongzheng Courtyard was like an iron barrel, revealing no information whatsoever.

The main courtyard gates remained closed, and no one was allowed to enter.

Having been turned away several times, Madam Liu waited for Madam Lu on her way back to the East Courtyard after hearing that Madam Lu had left the mansion.

When she saw Madam Lu approaching, her face became plump, and she no longer looked sickly.

Liu clenched her fists instinctively, "Sister Lu."

They still called her Sister Lu.

Madam Lu looked at her coldly. She lowered her eyes, and Mama Chen beside her understood. She stepped forward and slapped Madam Liu across the face.

Caught off guard, Liu was stunned, covering her cheek, "You...you dare hit me?"

"Second Madam, you've called her by the wrong name again. You always forget. A little pain should teach you a lesson," said Madam Chen.

Liu gritted her teeth secretly, looked at Lu behind her, and called out to her unwillingly, "Sister-in-law..."

"Please remember your place, Second Madam," Chen's mother warned her.

Liu suppressed her anger.

She walked to Madam Lu's side, forcing a smile, "Sister-in-law, I'm just used to calling you 'little sister.' Back when we were still married, we were like sisters..."

"I only have two older brothers, no sisters," Madam Lu interrupted her.

Liu choked on her words, then immediately adopted a wronged expression, "Sister-in-law, are you blaming me?"

"What do I blame you for?" Mrs. Lu looked directly into her eyes.

She not only blamed her, she hated her!

"It's my fault for instigating Yan'er, sister-in-law. I know I was wrong, and I regret it." Madam Liu seemed genuinely remorseful, and even squeezed out a few tears.

Mrs. Lu looked at her.

Liu was too arrogant.

She was certain that no one knew the truth about her switching babies back then, and that she only blamed herself for instigating Song Qingyan.

Seeing that she remained silent, Madam Liu pleaded for Song Qingyan, "Yan'er is still your daughter. I don't know how she's doing after marrying into the Jiang family. I sent someone to see her, but the Jiang family won't let us. Sister-in-law, why don't you go to the Jiang family and bring Yan'er back? You and your daughter can talk."

He wanted to use her to meet Song Qingyan?

Madam Lu's face darkened. "Madam Liu, she's already a daughter-in-law of the Jiang family. What kind of behavior would it be if I went to bring her back?"

He then scolded Liu, "You should also shut up. You keep sending people to find her, making people misunderstand that our Marquis's Mansion is afraid that she will be bullied in the Jiang family. This will reach her mother-in-law's ears, causing discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and ultimately harming Qingyan."

"Liu, haven't you harmed my daughter enough?"

Lu's eyes were sharp, filled with murderous intent.

This was the first time Liu had seen her with such an expression, which made her even more certain that Lu was blaming her for intentionally spoiling Qingyan.

She wasn't afraid of being blamed by Madam Lu, but she was worried that Yan'er would misunderstand.

Yan'er has misunderstood her.

Liu clutched her embroidered handkerchief tightly.

She wanted to find an opportunity to see Yan'er, but Madam Lu was heartless and wouldn't go to pick her up, so she thought of another way.

Having devised a plan, Lady Liu went to Song Mingtang's courtyard.

There were only a few maids sweeping and cleaning in the courtyard.

Upon seeing Madam Liu, he could not hide his panic. "Second Madam, you've arrived."

The noise was loud enough to reach the study, and the two people entangled on the couch hurriedly separated.
