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

"Aaaaaah!"

The screams were deafening.

Shen Yue covered his two bloody ears with both hands.

Everyone believed that both fragments were the work of the Prince of Huai.

Xie Xuanjin followed the trajectory of another fragment and looked toward a corner on the first floor.

Song Qingning wore a veiled hat, and her attire was no different from that of the noble ladies who had gathered around to watch the spectacle.

The reason she took action was twofold: firstly, in her previous life, the Shen family was Song Qingyan's support, and the death of the Marquis of Yongning might be related to the Shen family.

Secondly, it was because she and Xie Xuanjin had both fought their way up from the battlefield, and they admired each other.

"Xie Xuanjin, you, you, you actually committed murder in public! This is Chongwen Hall, and I am the nephew of the Imperial Concubine!" Shen Yue shouted arrogantly.

Xie Yunli felt a surge of satisfaction.

It has to be Fourth Brother!

If you can do it, you don't need to talk; be decisive and efficient.

Xie Yunli followed suit and picked up a teacup. Although his skills were not as good as his fourth brother's, he was a master at pitch-pot.

The teacup hit Shen Yue squarely on the forehead.

"Um... Xie Yunli, you..." Shen Yue had a bruise on his forehead.

Xie Yunli crossed his arms and said, "If you know this is Chongwen Hall, then stop barking like a dog. Since you are the Imperial Concubine's nephew, don't embarrass her."

"Thank you, Yunli!"

Shen Yue was injured and his pride was hurt, so he was unwilling to give up.

At this moment, Prince Rui, Xie Yuqi, walked in. "Cousin, quickly go and treat the wound."

"Your Highness..."

"Go quickly!" Xie Yuqi said in a deep voice.

Shen Yue was unwilling, but he had no choice but to obey Prince Rui's words and stormed out of Danshuang Pavilion.

Xie Yuqi went upstairs to the second floor and entered another private room.

The two princes did not exchange a single word throughout the entire process.

Several officials in charge of the scientific expedition arrived one after another.

The poetry appreciation event begins.

The students pulled out all the stops, hoping to make a name for themselves through this.

Song Mingtang's face showed disdain for those poems.

The examiners he recognized were all fans of "Mingyue Xian".

They even wrote poems for Mingyuexian's paintings, inquired about Mingyuexian's whereabouts and identity, and hinted at their intention to visit and befriend her.

If Song Qingning hadn't gone to the battlefield three years ago and couldn't help him with the painting...

He had already been elevated to a high position by these people.

Three years late, it's finally here today.

Song Mingtang waited for the people arranged by Madam Liu to appear.

The examiners listened to the poems and lyrics composed by the students, but none of them were particularly impressive. They were rather uninterested, and some even closed their eyes.

Suddenly, a poem was recited, and the examiners opened their eyes.

The scene depicted in the poem was all too familiar to them.

That is the scene from one of Mingyue Xian's most famous paintings, "The Lantern Festival Banquet".

The examiners looked down at the students composing poems. Minister Cui was the first to ask, "Do you like Mingyue Xian's paintings?"

The student, dressed in clean, simple clothes, came from a poor family. "Master Mingyue is my idol. I was fortunate enough to witness the 'Lantern Festival Banquet' painting, and I remember it vividly."

Anyone who has seen "The Lantern Festival Banquet" will have a deep impression of it.

Unfortunately, the painting has disappeared.

Rumor has it that there is a secret hidden in that painting.

Upon hearing the title "The Lantern Festival Banquet," Xie Yunli instinctively looked at Xie Xuanjin, "Fourth Brother..."

Everyone knows that Xie Yunli is obsessed with Mingyue Xian's paintings, but few know that Fourth Brother also greatly admires Mingyue Xian.

The painting "Lantern Festival Banquet" is currently hanging in my fourth brother's study.

"Have you seen 'The Lantern Festival Banquet'?" someone questioned the student. Even Minister Cui didn't believe that a poor student could have the opportunity to see that masterpiece.

But what he described in his poem was indeed the scene in the painting.

The student said with a hint of pride, "I not only saw it, but I also watched Mingyue Xian paint this picture with my own eyes."

Everyone present was astonished, "You...have met Mingyue Xian before?"

"I've seen it."

Before anyone could ask who Mingyue Xian was, the student sighed, "It's a pity that was six years ago. After six years, even if we met again, I don't know if we would recognize each other."

"However, I recognize his seal."

A single sentence stirred everyone's emotions, creating a series of twists and turns.

Just then, Song Mingtang stood up from the crowd, as if in a hurry to leave, and hurriedly walked out.

But after taking only a few steps, something fell off him.

With a snap.

Song Mingtang anxiously reached for the item, but the student picked it up before him.

The student was about to return the item to Song Mingtang, but his expression changed drastically when he saw the seal in his hand.

He was first shocked, then excited.

"You...you are the Immortal Master Mingyue!" the student exclaimed in surprise as he looked at Song Mingtang.

Everyone present was taken aback.

Immediately, someone recognized Song Mingtang as the heir of the Yongning Marquis's mansion!

Song Mingtang raised his hand, pretending to cover his face with his sleeve, and denied, "You've mistaken me for someone else."

He turned to leave, not even bothering to take the seal.

The student, however, held him tightly, his expression one of intense emotion:

"No, I'm not mistaken. You are Master Mingyue Xian. I recognize this seal; it belongs to Master Mingyue Xian! I saw this seal up close six years ago. If you don't believe me, you can let everyone identify it!"

Someone stepped forward, took the seal, and examined it closely.

They then compared Mingyue Xian's painting with the seal on it and quickly came to a conclusion:

"It's Mingyue Xian! It really is Mingyue Xian!"

"I never imagined that the stunningly talented Mingyue Xian would be the heir of the Yongning Marquis's mansion."

"I...I'm not, I really am not." Song Mingtang adopted a low-key and unassuming attitude.

The more he acted this way, the more people perceived his humility.

Even Minister Cui believed that Song Mingtang was Mingyue Xian, and looked at him with admiration, saying, "The Yongning Marquis's mansion has produced a master painter. No wonder, he is the grandson of Grand Tutor Lu, a bloodline successor."

Grand Tutor Lu was once the emperor's teacher and a great scholar in the literary world.

Many officials present, including Minister Cui, were students of Grand Tutor Lu.

It was for this very reason in her past life that Liu bribed some people to cooperate in making Song Mingtang stage such a performance at the poetry appreciation event, easily convincing everyone that Song Mingtang was Mingyue Xian.

No one doubted it, and no one raised any objections.

In an instant, everyone surrounded Song Mingtang, like stars surrounding the moon, expressing their admiration.

Even Xie Yunli and Prince Rui, Xie Yuqi, who were in the private room on the second floor, changed their gaze towards Song Mingtang.

Song Mingtang was praised to the skies.

Everything went as he expected; everyone admired his talent and flocked to him.

He was completely absorbed in it, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Song Qingning recalled her past life.

After discovering the truth about the child swap, she was imprisoned in a dark room. Liu continued to threaten her with the lives of the Marquis of Yongning and Lady Lu, forcing her to paint.

Her paintings gradually elevated Song Mingtang to the position of "Painting Sage".

It's time for Song Mingtang's dream and Liu's dream in this life to come to an end!

"Isn't it too hasty to conclude that he is Mingyue Xian based on just one seal?" a question arose.

The room fell silent.

Then came the second voice of doubt, "Yes, what if the seal is fake, or what if Mingyue Xian's seal was lost and picked up by someone with ulterior motives..."

After a moment's thought, everyone felt that the doubts were not without merit.

Everyone looked at Song Mingtang, hoping he could produce some evidence to further prove that he was Mingyue Xian and dispel the doubts.

Song Mingtang felt a little flustered.

Before he could come up with a solution, Xie Xuanjin, in a private room on the second floor, curled the corners of his lips into a smile. "Proving it is simple. Prince Song can just paint a picture in public, and that will shut up the doubters!"
