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

"My son's Achilles tendon is severed..."

As soon as Liu cried out, she swayed like a withered leaf, fainted, and collapsed to the ground.

Song Qingning instructed the maids and servants to escort Liu back to the west courtyard, and then followed them.

A commotion startled Song Qingyan, who was inside the room.

Song Qingyan stood by the window, glancing indifferently in this direction without any change in her expression, and then called over a servant to inquire about the situation.

"He is the heir apparent, no, he should no longer be called the heir apparent," the servant said.

Why?

"He caused trouble at the Xue family's birthday banquet and was sent to the authorities. Master Yan wants to request the imperial decree to strip him of his title as heir."

Song Qingyan immediately realized that today's plan had failed.

"Useless!" Song Qingyan spat out the two words with disdain.

Song Mingtang is useless, and so is Liu Shi. They couldn't even seize such a good opportunity, and Liu Shi even made her place her hopes on Song Mingtang.

Song Mingtang is completely unreliable.

She wanted to find other hope.

But she lost Mingyue Xian's painting, making it impossible for Prince Yun to believe she was Mingyue Xian anymore, and that path was probably closed.

Song Qingyan was unwilling to accept it.

Enraged, she grabbed a teacup from the table, intending to smash it to vent her anger, but this aggravated the injury on the back of her hand.

A sharp pain shot through her, and Song Qingyan frowned.

The injury had been treated for several days, but showed no improvement. She remembered that her brother's hand injury had also taken a long time to heal.

Because the medicine contains poison.

Song Qingyan suddenly became alert and went through everything she usually used in her mind, but found nothing unusual.

She had already thrown away the ointment her brother had given her.

Besides, she did it discreetly, so her brother wouldn't find out.

She was overthinking it.

Wounds naturally take time to heal.

Song Qingyan felt relieved.

In another room, Liu was placed, and Song Qingning did not leave.

A faint stinging pain came from her feet, and Song Qingning knew it was a memory from her past life.

In her past life, Liu and Song Mingtang plotted to injure her leg, breaking not only her tendons but also her bones.

She still remembered the smile hidden on Liu's seemingly concerned face when she rushed over after hearing that she was injured. At that time, she knew that her mother did not care about her, and it was normal for Liu not to care about her injury.

Only after learning the whole truth did they understand the meaning behind Liu's smile.

She was satisfied that her plan had succeeded.

In this life, when the leg injury was returned to Song Mingtang, Madam Liu was so heartbroken that she vomited blood.

A cold smile flickered in Song Qingning's eyes.

A soft moan came from the bed; Madam Liu had woken up.

When Liu opened her eyes, she saw Song Qingning sitting in front of the bed. She was stunned at first, but when she saw the faint smile on Song Qingning's face, Liu's face immediately turned ferocious.

"You've come to laugh at me?!"

Song Qingning did not answer, her smile remaining unchanged.

This further provoked Liu.

Before Song Qingning told her those things, Madam Liu had originally called Song Qingning over to teach her a lesson.

At this moment, she finally couldn't hold back any longer, sat up, picked up the porcelain pillow behind her, and smashed it at Song Qingning's head.

However, Song Qingning easily dodged it by slightly turning her body to the side.

The porcelain pillow fell behind her and shattered on the ground.

Liu glared at Song Qingning, her expression a mixture of resentment and anger. "Song Qingning, are you happy that your cousin is suffering?"

Song Qingning still smiled faintly.

Of course she was happy.

It was no accident that Song Mingtang injured his foot in the chaos.

At the Xue residence, she and Miss Xue the Third decided to join forces to seek justice for Miss Yan the Fourth, and they had already discussed their plan.

They led the Second Young Master Xue back to the courtyard, had Qiao'er deliver a message, then released Liu Shi into the Xue mansion, and sent Song Mingtang to the authorities. They didn't show their faces at any of these steps, but they secretly guided others and fueled the flames.

They even had Yan Jue petition the emperor to strip Song Mingtang of his title of heir apparent and sever Song Mingtang's Achilles tendons, all as a lesson they planned to teach Song Mingtang.

They attempted to dishonor the Fourth Miss's innocence; everything they did was rightfully Song Mingtang's.

It was also what Liu deserved.

Lady Liu switched the babies and plotted everything. She wanted Song Mingtang to inherit the title of Marquis and marry a woman from a high-ranking family to help him advance his career.

Now that Song Mingtang has lost his title as heir apparent, crippled his leg, and dashed half of the Liu family's hopes.

When Madam Liu thought about how Tang'er's Achilles tendon was severed and his title of heir was gone, her eyes turned fierce when she saw Song Qingning's leg.

Why isn't it Song Qingning who injured her leg?

The suffering her two children endured should all fall on Song Qingning!

But Song Qingning shone ever brighter, as did Song Shiyin…

The more Liu thought about it, the more frantic her eyes became.

She got out of bed, grabbed whatever was at hand, and started throwing it at Song Qingning, as if she wanted to kill her.

Song Qingning avoided them all with great composure.

She watched her smash things, watched her go mad.

Liu was tired from smashing things, but she didn't hurt Song Qingning in the slightest.

She stood there, calm and composed, as if enjoying her disheveled state.

Finally, Song Qingning stared at Liu Shi, frowned, and said, "Mother, you've gone mad again. If Grandfather finds out, he'll lock you up again."

Liu was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

She glared fiercely at Song Qingning.

She suddenly realized that Song Qingning was deliberately trying to drive her crazy.

"I'm not crazy, Song Qingning. It was you, it must have been you. You were jealous of your cousin, jealous of your brother. You're the one who hurt them."

"Song Qingning, have you forgotten your lowly status? When did you develop such inappropriate thoughts? I've raised you for so many years, have you forgotten everything?"

Have you forgotten?

How could Song Qingning forget such a profound lesson from her past life?

You must forget the hatred, whether it's because you've gotten your revenge or because time has passed.

She chose revenge, and she will get her revenge!

Liu cursed Song Qingning.

Song Qingning let her scold her, and finally looked at Liu Shi and said calmly, "Mother, aren't you going to see my cousin? I heard he's not doing well."

Liu froze, then stopped cursing.

"Your Highness..." Lady Liu's voice trembled as she thought of Song Mingtang, her heart aching as if being torn apart by a dull knife. "I must go see Your Highness."

She needed to check on Tang'er's injuries; Tang'er must need her very much right now.

Lady Liu ordered Song Qingning, "Take me to see him."

As Liu wished, Song Qingning took her to the Jingzhao Yin prison.

The dimly lit prison was filled with the stench of blood.

As soon as I entered the prison, I heard a heart-wrenching scream.

"It's Tang'er!" Liu cried out, quickening her pace as she rushed toward the direction from which the screams came.

When Liu finally saw Song Mingtang lying on the floor of the prison, her heart felt like it was bleeding.

Her daughter was covered in blood, her clothes were torn to shreds, and the blood on her legs was a truly horrific sight.

The jailer opened the door, and Liu rushed forward, her hands trembling as she reached out to check his injuries. But there wasn't a single part of his body that was unharmed, and she dared not touch it, for fear of hurting him.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, how could this happen..."

This shouldn't be happening!

Song Mingtang stared at her, his eyes filled with sarcasm and murderous intent. "Liu, you've ruined me so badly! Are you satisfied with how I am now?"

He said she ruined him.

Yan'er also said that she had harmed her.

But they are her children! How could she possibly harm them?!

Now that Yan'er knows she is her mother, she believes she won't harm her. If Tang'er knew she was his mother, he would certainly not misunderstand her anymore.

We mustn't let Tang'er know.

Tang'er's personality means he can't keep secrets.

"Your Highness, I will not harm you. I have done all this for you. You must believe me. You will understand sooner or later," said Lady Liu.

She still called him Prince.

A chilling glint flashed in Song Qingning's eyes as she offered a merciless reminder:

"Mother, be careful what you say. My cousin's title of heir apparent has been revoked; he is no longer the heir apparent of the Marquis's mansion. If you call him heir apparent and this reaches the Emperor's ears, it will bring disaster!"
