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

While Song Mingtang was lost in thought, he was hit several more times with a stick.

He screamed a few times, then roared, "Are you deaf? I am the heir of the Marquis of Yongning! Let me go right now!"

The servant ignored him.

They tied him up and threw him out of the room along with the two maids inside.

Both maids had also regained consciousness.

With their heads covered, they could vaguely see figures in the courtyard through the gaps in the cloth bag. Connecting these with their hazy memories, they knew things had gone wrong.

"Young Master, Young Madam..." Xueyan said.

Before she could finish speaking, Madam Xue interrupted her, "Tell her to shut up, then beat her harder."

The two servants betrayed their master and almost caused Si'er to lose her chastity; they deserved to be beaten to death.

In the courtyard, the sounds of caning were accompanied by screams of agony.

The news reached Madam Xue's ears at the birthday banquet.

The old nanny only said that the servants in the young mistress's courtyard were having an affair, and the second young master and his wife were dealing with it, so Old Madam Xue didn't pay much attention to it.

Using the excuse that something had happened at the Marquis's residence, Lady Liu came to find Lady Lu to return to, and easily entered the Xue residence.

She went to the hall.

The lively atmosphere of the birthday banquet reached Liu Shi's ears, and she was surprised that the banquet was still going on even after such a big incident.

Upon arriving at the hall, they saw Song Qingning standing outside the door. She was dressed in the official robes of the Capital Commander, looking majestic and imposing, without a trace of her former humility and timidity.

A sense of helplessness and resentment filled her heart.

Liu was even more determined to deal with Song Qingning once Tang'er's marriage was settled.

"Mother, what brings you here? It seems the Xue family didn't invite you today," Song Qingning greeted her.

Lady Liu was granted an imperial edict.

But the title of Lady of the Palace was only available when there was a palace banquet and an imperial decree ordering the ladies of the court to attend.

For private social gatherings in various households, invitations would be sent to the matriarch of the household. Since the matriarch was unable to attend, she would then designate other people in the household to attend the banquet.

Previously, when Madam Liu was in charge of managing the household affairs, she would always take the lead in hosting banquets.

Now that Madam Lu is in charge of the household and in good health, Madam Liu has no chance.

This was a thorn in Liu's side.

Lady Liu wanted to get angry, but since she was in someone else's residence, she had to maintain her image.

In an instant, she put on an anxious expression, "I'm here to find your aunt and your cousin, something happened at their house..."

"Oh? Something happened? What happened?" Song Qingning asked with concern.

What could possibly happen?

It was just an excuse Liu made up. Liu ignored Song Qingning and walked straight into the hall.

Song Qingning did not stop her and let her go in.

A person suddenly barged into the birthday banquet, and everyone looked at her.

Madam Xue frowned. "Who is this lady?"

"It's Madam Song, the Second Lady of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion." Someone recognized Madam Liu.

Lady Liu bowed to the Empress Dowager and Madam Xue, and directly stated her purpose: "Your Majesty, Madam Xue, please forgive me, but I have matters to attend to at home, so I have come to find Lady Hou."

"Something happened at home?" Mrs. Lu asked in surprise.

"Sister-in-law, please come back to the manor with me quickly. Where is the young master?"

This question is the key.

Just now, Song Qingning sent someone to deliver a message to Madam Lu, explaining the situation in general.

Madam Lu never expected that Madam Liu and Song Mingtang's antics would extend to the Xue family's birthday banquet; they were truly audacious.

Ning'er said that Madam Liu would be coming and asked her to cooperate.

Finally, Liu arrived. Lu frowned in agreement. "Tang'er? Tang'er has been missing for a while. Since there's something going on at home, let's find Tang'er and get back quickly."

After bidding farewell to the Empress Dowager and Madam Xue, Madam Lu hurriedly left the hall.

The servants of the Xue family led them to find someone.

Suddenly hearing screams from the backyard, Liu's expression stiffened slightly, and she quickened her pace.

The group followed the sound to Madam Xue's courtyard. As soon as they entered, they saw servants heavily beating the three of them with sticks.

Liu was immediately stunned.

Tang'er is the heir of the Yongning Marquis's mansion, so even if the matter is discovered, the Xue family will not dare to use torture.

But what I saw before my eyes...

Upon seeing the bright red stain on the man's back, Liu immediately disregarded everything else and rushed forward.

"Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him! He is the heir of the Yongning Marquis's mansion. What if you hurt him?" Madam Liu tried to push the servants away.

But he was pushed by a servant and stumbled.

She tried to step forward again, but Madam Lu scolded her, "Madam Liu, what nonsense are you talking about? This is no ordinary hall!"

The man being beaten in front of me had his head covered and was only wearing a pair of underwear.

The two women beside them were also only wearing undergarments.

It was immediately clear that the master of the Xue family was punishing a disobedient servant.

"That's Tang'er, that's the young master!" Madam Liu glared at Madam Lu, resenting that Madam Lu couldn't even recognize Tang'er.

Madam Lu frowned. "How could this be? How could the heir of my Yongning Marquis's mansion do such a disgraceful thing in someone else's residence? Madam Liu, have you lost your mind!"

Losing one's mind?

How dare Madam Lu say she's lost her mind?!

Liu gritted her teeth.

Hearing Song Mingtang's sobbing screams, her heart felt as if it were bleeding.

She looked at the second young master of the Xue family and quickly said, "Second young master Xue, you can't hit him like this! What if you kill him?"

Young Master Xue's face was gloomy. "If he's beaten to death, he's beaten to death. If a servant doesn't follow the rules, the master can beat him to death. This doesn't violate the law in our dynasty."

Beaten with a stick...

Servants could be beaten to death, but the heirs of marquises and daughters of officials could not.

"They are not servants, but the heir of the Yongning Marquis's mansion, and Miss Yan the Fourth..." Madam Liu hurriedly said.

Madam Xue retorted, "Nonsense! Don't you dare smear my fourth sister's reputation!"

clean?

She's already slept with Tang'er and become his woman, so what innocence can she possibly have?

Madam Liu was certain that they hadn't figured things out and had been blinded by their own ignorance, mistaking Tang'er and Miss Yan for servants, which was why they had beaten them so badly.

They'll stop once they realize they've hit the wrong person.

Then, Liu rushed over again, trying to tear the cloth bag off Song Mingtang's head.

She succeeded.

The cloth bag was ripped off, revealing Song Mingtang's face.

Blood trickled from the corner of Song Mingtang's mouth, and he looked pained.

Madam Liu was extremely distressed and anxiously said to Second Young Master Xue:

"Look, it's my young master, Second Young Master Xue! Quickly, make them stop!"

Young Master Xue frowned, showing no intention of stopping. "The heir of the Yongning Marquis's mansion has defiled a maid of my Xue family and defiled the inner quarters of my Xue household. Such a serious matter should be reported to the authorities!"

"Report to the authorities?" Liu exclaimed in surprise, raising her voice.

"You mustn't report this to the authorities, Madam Xue. If you do, Miss Yan's reputation will be truly ruined."

Unable to contain her anger any longer, Madam Xue raised her hand and slapped Liu across the face.

"You..." Liu was stunned by the beating.

Rumor has it that Miss Yan the Third and Miss Yan the Fourth have opposite personalities.

Miss Yan the Fourth is gentle and easy to manipulate, while Miss Yan the Third has a devilish temper.

Madam Xue glared fiercely at Madam Liu and demanded sharply, "You have repeatedly insulted my fourth sister's reputation. Was this all part of your scheme to harm her?"
