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

Of course Song Qingyan was scared!

Song Mingtang injured his hand, and she mixed poison into the ointment, rendering his hand useless.

Now that she has injured her hand, she fears that if Song Mingtang finds out the truth, he will use the same methods against her.

But she couldn't admit that she was afraid.

Song Qingyan hid her guilty conscience and followed Song Mingtang's words, "Yan'er is afraid, afraid that Yan'er's current situation will disappoint her brother. Father and mother do not recognize Yan'er, and Yan'er is afraid that her brother will not recognize her either."

As she spoke, she let out a few sobs.

Song Mingtang's heart grew colder, a coldness mixed with sarcasm, but he didn't show it on his face. "You're my sister, how could I not acknowledge you? Take this, I went to great lengths to get this medicine."

Song Qingyan took the ointment, clutched it in her hand, and said, "Thank you, brother."

The brother and sister shared a deep and profound bond.

Watching from the side, Madam Liu was very pleased. "Yan'er, the young master treats you well, and your brother and sister are united. That's more important than anything else."

Song Mingtang did not stay any longer.

He instructed Song Qingyan to take good care of herself, and said that in his heart, she would always be the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family. He also promised her that once he inherited the Marquis's family, he would definitely put her back on the family tree.

Lady Liu saw Song Mingtang off.

As soon as the door closed, Song Qingyan threw away the ointment as if it were a monstrous flood.

She had no doubt that Song Mingtang knew the truth.

Given Song Mingtang's personality, if he knew the truth, he would immediately come to question her.

Even so, she dared not use the medicine that Song Mingtang gave her.

Outside.

Lady Liu was still moved by the unity of her children. "Your Highness, Yan'er has suffered a lot recently, but fortunately, you still care about her."

"I'm her brother, so naturally I feel sorry for her."

Song Mingtang glanced at Song Qingyan's room, a flash of malice passing through his eyes.

The moment he saw Song Qingyan's guilty expression, he knew she wouldn't use the medicine he gave her.

But it was just a regular scar removal cream; it wasn't poisonous.

The poisonous ones are elsewhere.

Unaware of his unusual behavior, Lady Liu continued to speak happily with Song Mingtang about his marriage, "Young Master, have you seen the portraits I sent you?"

Song Mingtang looked at those portraits, but none of them satisfied him.

"None of them are as good as the Yan family." Song Mingtang glanced at Liu Shi and felt that she hadn't put much thought into choosing a wife for him.

"Second Aunt knows that they are no match for the Yan family. The lady of the Yan family is stubborn. Just because of the young master's slight mistake that night, she insisted on breaking off the engagement and did not give the Marquis's mansion any face. But things are not without hope."

Liu smiled, as if she had everything under control.

Song Mingtang became interested. "What kind of turning point?"

"Your Highness..." Lady Liu leaned close to Song Mingtang and whispered the plan in his ear.

Song Mingtang's eyes shone brightly, clearly satisfied. "Is everything arranged?"

"It's all arranged. Once the money is spent, even the Xue family will have people to do things for us. Now we're just waiting for the Xue family's birthday banquet. At that time, Madam Lu will take you there," Madam Liu said.

"Heh, heh heh, good, Second Aunt, if this works out, I'll remember your kindness." Song Mingtang left satisfied.

Liu took a deep breath.

This matter must be accomplished.

Tang'er is the eldest son of the main branch of the family. No matter how outstanding Song Shiyin is, he is not qualified to compete for the title of Marquis.

But we must not let Song Shiyin's brilliance overshadow Tang'er.

Marrying a girl from the Yan family will bring honor to Tang'er and benefit his future.

Soon, the day of the Xue family's birthday banquet arrived.

The major families in the capital are deeply intertwined.

With the Empress Dowager in attendance, the birthday banquet is sure to be an unprecedented spectacle.

Song Qingning led the Left Division of the Capital City Guard to be in charge of the defense of the birthday banquet.

Song Qingning was dressed in the uniform of a military officer. Her jet-black hair was tied up like a man's and hung down her back. She had a heroic air about her. She sat on a horse, holding the reins with one hand. Her cloak was billowing in the wind behind her. She looked magnificent.

Meng Huaizhou and Xie Yunli arrived at the banquet together in a carriage from the Prince of Huai's residence.

Seeing Song Qingning, Meng Huaizhou's eyebrows were full of pride. "My judgment was right. After Qingning took office as the Chief of the Capital, her subordinates submitted to her, and many other officials praised her highly. Since she took charge of the Capital, the capital has been much more peaceful."

Xie Yunli glanced at his fourth brother and saw that he was also looking at Song Qingning.

Xie Yunli immediately jumped off the carriage, ready to give the two a chance to talk.

But as soon as he stepped out of the carriage, he saw a guard report something to Song Qingning, and Song Qingning immediately spurred his horse toward Zhuque Street.

"What happened?" Xie Xuanjin asked the guard beside him.

Soon a guard came to report, "It's over on Zhuque Street, Princess Yuzhen's horse has spooked."

Before the guard could finish speaking, Xie Xuanjin got off the carriage, took the guard's horse, and chased after him.

Zhuque Street was thrown into chaos.

When Song Qingning arrived, a horse-drawn carriage was speeding through the street, destroying surrounding stalls and causing pedestrians to scatter in panic.

If this continues, the entire street will suffer heavy losses as a result.

Maintaining peace and tranquility in the capital is her duty.

Song Qingning watched the galloping carriage, tightened the reins, and headed straight for it.

Inside the carriage, Princess Yuzhen clung tightly to the horse. The wind blew open the curtain, and she saw a person and a horse approaching. The person on horseback was dressed in uniform.

They came to save her!

"Quickly save this princess!" Princess Yuzhen stretched out a hand to the person on horseback.

She would be safe as long as the man pulled her onto his horse.

As for the other person in the carriage, and what kind of disaster the mad horse might cause, that was none of her concern.

But when the man and horse approached the carriage, they did not reach out to pull her up.

Instead, he leaped up and, in an instant, landed steadily on the back of the carriage horse from the previous horse.

Three years in Youcheng.

Horse training and control are the most basic skills.

Even the wildest horses have been ridden and tamed by Song Qingning.

Song Qingning gripped the reins, squeezed her legs tightly against the horse's belly, and leaned over its back. Under her control, the horse gradually slowed down, and the carriage traveled a few hundred meters before finally stopping.

Princess Yuzhen was still in shock inside the carriage.

The moment the carriage stopped, Princess Yuzhen hurriedly jumped off.

Song Qingning also dismounted.

She glanced at the spot where the carriage had passed, and just then, Qin Zheng arrived with his men.

Song Qingning instructed Qin Zheng, "Go and check on the casualties and losses, record the medical expenses incurred by the injured, and all related costs."

Qin Zheng accepted the order and left.

Hearing heavy breathing from inside the carriage, Song Qingning jumped on and was taken aback when she saw Miss Xue inside.

Miss Xue recognized her as well.

Perhaps still terrified from the earlier incident, upon seeing Song Qingning, she instinctively called out, "Second Miss Song..."

Song Qingning snapped out of her reverie and wanted to ask if she was alright.

Her face was pale, and her hair and clothes were disheveled.

It's visibly bad.

Song Qingning got into the carriage, took off her cloak and tied it around Xue Xue's neck. "It's alright now, Miss Xue, come with me to get into another carriage."

"Mm." Miss Xue nodded obediently.

When Song Qingning helped her up, she held Song Qingning's hand tightly.

They got off the carriage.

A gaze fell upon Song Qingning.

Song Qingning looked up and noticed the woman in front of her, who was dressed in luxurious clothes but looked disheveled.

Before Song Qingning could bow to her, Princess Yuzhen spoke:

"Second Miss Song? You must be Song Qingning?"
