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

For the next two weeks, apart from official duties, Song Qingning was invited to the palace by Princess Yuzhen to teach her archery.

Song Qingning met with the Prince of Huai several times, planning to need the Prince's assistance.

Then they waited for the right opportunity.

On this day, news came from the court that Emperor Yuan had set the date for the palace examination. Song Qingning knew that the day when she could put her plan into action was approaching.

Historically, the top three scholars (状元, 榜眼, and 探花) have always been paraded through the streets. It is a big day with an unprecedented grand occasion.

Jinshenglou would spend lavishly on banquets to entertain the top three scholars and high-ranking officials.

Jinshenglou is a clandestine business of the Shen family. This banquet is ostensibly a publicity stunt for Jinshenglou, but in reality, it is an attempt to recruit talent for Prince Rui.

In his previous life, Jiang Sheng failed the imperial examination, and Madam Jiang never wanted to believe that her son was truly illiterate.

She vented her anger by blaming Song Qingning for bringing bad luck to Jiang Sheng.

Hearing that there would be many important people at Jinsheng Restaurant that day, he decided to go there to look for an opportunity.

Madam Jiang said that Jiang Sheng was a man, and the Jiang family valued appearances. As his wife, it was only natural for her to work hard for her husband's future.

This task fell to her.

Thinking of this, Song Qingning lowered her eyes and sneered.

In this life, Jiang Sheng's whereabouts are still unknown. The Prince of Huai said that Jiang Sheng is in the hands of the Prince of Rui. It is unknown what the Prince of Rui wants to do with Jiang Sheng.

But ultimately, it wasn't because she was attracted to Jiang Sheng's "talent".

In this life, Jiang Sheng's wife is Song Qingyan...

Song Qingning lowered her eyes; this plan could kill two birds with one stone.

That evening, when she returned to the Yongning Marquis's residence, she inquired about how Hongling and Song Qingyan's hands were healing.

"Good? Not good at all. The injury is strange too. It's been quite a while and hasn't improved at all. I heard that the young lady has been on edge these days, as if she's guarding against someone who wants to harm her. She's even stopped using the medicine the doctor gave her and threw it all away."

During the day, Hongling became familiar with the maids and nannies in the Marquis's mansion.

He had become the manor's know-it-all, knowing all the latest news.

Song Qingyan's injuries will naturally not heal.

She was paranoid, which meant she had doubts in her heart.

But they still don't know where things went wrong.

Song Mingtang has done this very discreetly; it's time to remind Song Qingyan.

Song Qingning beckoned to Hongling, who stepped forward and let Song Qingning whisper in her ear. After hearing what she said, Hongling was so shocked that her mouth dropped open.

"It's...it's the young master!"

Hongling never expected that the reason why the young master's hand was ruined was because the young lady poisoned him.

What was even more unexpected was that the young master used the same method to deal with the young lady.

"They are siblings!" Hongling felt a chill in her heart.

"So what if they're siblings? They can't overcome their desires and selfishness," Song Qingning said sarcastically.

Song Qingyan wanted the identity of Mingyue Xian, so she didn't hesitate to ruin her brother's hand.

Song Mingtang knew the truth and treated him in the same way. Although they were siblings, there was no brother-sister affection between them.

Both of them were of the Liu family bloodline.

Song Qingning could almost predict what Song Qingyan would do after learning the truth.

……

In the west courtyard, Song Qingyan kept her door tightly shut.

She threw away the medicine the doctor had given her and went out of the mansion to find another doctor to get her other medicine. But after trying several doctors and different kinds of medicine, none of them worked, and her wound became more and more serious.

The wound on the back of her hand even smelled of rotting flesh.

At first, when she changed her dressings, she wouldn't even let the maids near her; she was wary of everyone.

However, the wound worsened, and each time she changed the dressing, she had to remove the necrotic tissue. She endured the pain, and each time she had to deal with the necrotic tissue, she was in so much pain that she lost her strength.

She could only have her maid help her bandage up.

She watched the maid's every move the whole time to make sure the maid didn't do anything underhanded.

At this moment, the maid was bandaging her wound.

She accidentally used too much force, causing Song Qingyan to grimace in pain. She then kicked the maid away hard.

The maid slumped to the ground, and a roll of gauze in her hand rolled off the ground.

"You filthy hussy, how dare you hurt me? You don't want to live anymore!" Song Qingyan gritted her teeth, her face contorted with rage.

She was about to get up and reprimand the maid when she noticed the scattered gauze on the ground.

The gauze is of the highest quality, pure white, and free of impurities.

However, there was an unusual mark in the middle of the gauze, as if it had been stained with something.

Song Qingyan was already easily alarmed.

At this point, they became even more vigilant.

She dismissed the maidservants, picked up the gauze from the ground, and carefully examined the marks on it, but still could not identify what it was.

But a guess was in my mind.

Song Qingyan didn't waste a moment. She hurriedly put on her veil, left the Marquis's residence, went straight to the Medicine Hall, found the doctor, gave him the gauze, and gave him a silver ingot, asking him to see what was on the gauze.

The doctor examined it closely, then his expression changed drastically. "How could there be a secret formula from my Yaoshantang on this gauze?"

His words struck Song Qingyan like a thunderbolt.

Song Qingyan felt her body go limp, staggered back several steps, and fell into the chair behind her.

Her eyes flickered, eager to confirm, "Are you sure? Is there really a secret formula for Yaoshantang on it?"

The doctor smelled the gauze carefully again, his tone certain: "I can't be wrong. This gauze was also soaked in medicine, but not much, so you can't see anything unusual."

Upon hearing this, Song Qingyan's face had already turned deathly pale.

She wanted to know who had come here to buy the secret medicine.

The image of Song Mingtang appeared in her mind, and she recalled how Song Mingtang had kindly given her medicine for her injuries that day. There was no need to ask any more questions.

It was Song Mingtang.

It must be him!

He must have found out that she had tampered with his medicine, so he wanted to get revenge on her in the same way.

"Damn Song Mingtang!" Song Qingyan gritted her teeth, her eyes contorted with rage.

She's going to make Song Mingtang pay the price!

Upon returning to the Marquis's residence, Song Qingyan's first priority was to find Madam Liu.

She wanted to tell Liu how Song Mingtang had harmed her, and she wanted Liu to punish Song Mingtang on her behalf!

……

The Marquis's residence, west courtyard.

Lady Liu knelt before the Bodhisattva.

After Song Mingtang was imprisoned, she placed a Bodhisattva statue in the side room and offered incense and prayers every day, hoping that her son would be well.

After returning from the capital that day, she never saw Tang'er again.

She spent some money to find out some information.

Tang'er's leg was left untreated; the wound was festering and his condition was bad.

She was powerless and could only pray to Buddha for protection every day.

At this moment, when Lady Liu prayed to the Bodhisattva, she was not asking for Song Mingtang's protection, but for something else.

Once the date for the palace examination was set, Lady Liu could no longer sit still.

Song Shiyin passed the imperial examination.

He topped the list in the provincial examination, so his result in the palace examination probably wouldn't be too bad. Lady Liu was really afraid that Song Shiyin would return as the top scholar.

Upon hearing this news, Lady Liu locked herself in her room.

"May the Bodhisattva protect Song Shiyin from becoming the top scholar in the imperial examination; may the Bodhisattva prevent Song Shiyin from offending powerful figures and angering the Emperor; may the Bodhisattva punish Song Shiyin..."

Lady Liu clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and prayed while expressing her heartfelt wishes.

She pleaded again and again, her brows furrowed in urgency, which even revealed a hint of ferocity.

Suddenly, with a loud bang, the door was kicked open.

Liu opened her eyes in surprise.

He hurriedly came out of the side room and saw Song Qingyan, who was full of anger and looked like she wanted to kill someone.

"Yan'er, what's wrong? Did someone upset you again? Tell your mother, and I won't let them get away with it!"
