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

"what……"

This was followed by a panicked cry from Madam Liu.

Song Qingning and Song Shiyin immediately protected Lu Shi behind Liu Shi.

The families who had set up roadside offerings all looked in this direction.

The burning paper money fell on Liu Shi, igniting her clothes. After a moment of chaos and panic, someone splashed water on Liu Shi to extinguish the fire.

Liu was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.

Completely disheveled, the terror in his eyes couldn't be dispelled as he recalled what had just happened.

The way people looked at Liu Shi gradually became strange.

That strange wind just now was very unusual.

It stopped as soon as it started, only scattering the paper money in Liu's hand and setting her clothes on fire.

This is too weird!

"Perhaps she said something she shouldn't have, which angered the person in the coffin."

"What do you mean 'fear'? It definitely is! Otherwise, why would that demonic wind only affect her?"

The crowd whispered among themselves.

Liu heard it nonetheless.

Thinking back to what I just said, did I really offend someone?

Liu's face grew even paler. She hurriedly got up, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the two coffins that had walked away.

He was kowtowing while muttering something.

Song Qingning witnessed what had just happened.

She hadn't expected that strange wind.

Was that Song Mingtang's resentment and unwillingness to accept defeat?

He was naturally unwilling to be killed by his own sister!

He blames the Liu family!

Madam Liu kept kowtowing, resenting that even though the young master of the Ye family was dead, he was still so stingy.

She kept her resentment to herself, afraid to show it for fear of bringing trouble upon herself.

At that moment, she had no idea that the coffin she had just passed contained the charred corpse of Song Mingtang.

There is no mother-child bond.

Song Qingning felt a sense of irony.

Someone said, "On such a day, burning incense and paper money to tear up clothes is a big taboo; it will bring bad luck and misfortune."

Liu's heart trembled, and she kowtowed even more vigorously.

The families removed their offerings and returned to their homes.

After returning home and changing her clothes, Lady Liu felt uneasy, as if she had been contaminated by something.

Lu summoned Song Qingning to the East Courtyard, where Song Shiyin was also present.

The two men asked her why she wouldn't let them burn paper money.

Song Qingning smiled mysteriously, and after making sure no one was around, she lowered her voice and said something to the two of them.

Madam Lu stared in astonishment, "Song, Song Mingtang... he's dead!"

Madam Lu immediately covered her mouth, afraid that she would utter even the last two words.

Ning'er's words echoed in his mind, and he was filled with disbelief.

Song Shiyin was also very surprised.

But soon, he connected the matter with the Ye family's recent affairs and realized that Ning'er and the Ye family had joined forces to set a trap for Prince Rui and the Duke of Shen's mansion.

Ye Shu is not dead; that corpse belongs to Song Mingtang!

As the brother and sister were leaving the East Courtyard together, Song Shiyin called out to Song Qingning.

He asked her seriously, "Ning'er, are we going to make enemies of Prince Rui?"

"In her past life, Prince Rui and the Shen family were Song Qingyan's backers. We are destined to be enemies with Prince Rui!" Song Qingning said.

In this life, Song Qingyan still managed to get involved with Prince Rui.

Some things change in the grand scheme of things, while others cannot be changed.

Song Qingning was not afraid of the dangers ahead.

With her father, mother, and brother working together, she firmly believes that the ending will change in this lifetime.

The brother and sister began to talk about Song Shiyin's official position.

"Throughout history, the top scholars have either entered the Hanlin Academy for training or been appointed to local posts. If you have any thoughts, I can ask the Prince of Huai to intervene," Song Qingning said.

Song Shiyin knew that Ning'er and the Prince of Huai were close.

She often went out late at night to see the Prince of Huai.

Ning'er serves the Prince of Huai.

The Yongning Marquis's Mansion sided with the Prince of Huai.

He didn't want Ning'er to owe the Prince of Huai a favor because of him, nor did he want to be too high-profile and give others a handle to expose Ning'er and the Prince of Huai's scheme.

"Ning'er, you don't need to worry about official positions," Song Shiyin said.

He then instructed Song Qingning, "Once you choose a side, it will involve the struggle for imperial power. Ning'er, you must be careful at all times."

Song Qingning nodded in response.

She thought about the timeline from her previous life; there were still six months before the Prince of Huai's rebellion.

That evening, Song Qingning returned home after finishing his official duties and heard that Lady Liu had fallen ill.

"Everyone says that the Second Madam broke a taboo and came into contact with something unclean, which is why she fell ill," Hongling said.

Everyone in the household was talking about the strange things that happened to Lady Liu during the road sacrifice.

"After listening to an old nanny's suggestion, the Second Madam hurriedly invited a sorcerer to the mansion to perform a ritual. Tonight, the Second Madam's courtyard is quite lively."

"The Second Madam hired a sorcerer to suppress..."

Hongling spoke with great enthusiasm.

Song Qingning listened, still finding it ironic.

I wonder what Liu's reaction would be if she knew one day that the "unclean" thing she was trying to suppress was her most beloved son!

Liu will find out.

She'll tell her herself!

Liu's courtyard was indeed lively all night.

That night, Song Qingyan did not return to the mansion.

When Wan Liang reported this news to Song Qingning, his expression was very strange. "Miss Song did not leave the Duke of Shen's mansion, nor did Prince Rui. This... is very unusual."

Wan Liang's wording was very tactful.

Song Qingning glanced at him and knew he knew much more.

Because she is a woman, it's not appropriate to say.

Song Qingyan is having an affair with Prince Rui!

This was within Song Qingning's expectations.

If Song Qingyan wants to win over Prince Rui, she needs to do so from all angles. Once she becomes Prince Rui's woman, he will no longer allow her to be Jiang Sheng's wife.

The following day, Song Qingyan and Prince Rui woke up in the same bed.

Yesterday, Xie Yuqi was troubled by the Ye family's funeral, so he had wine prepared.

He was drinking alone, and when Song Qingyan saw him drinking, she finally got the opportunity she had been looking for.

During this time, Prince Rui had the imperial physician treat her hand injury, and he cared for her hand every day.

Prince Rui was very interested in the identity of "Mingyue Xian," but he had little interest in her as a person.

Song Qingyan was very frustrated.

Now, an opportunity has finally been found.

Prince Rui was feeling down and sought solace in alcohol. She accompanied him, subtly encouraging him to drink, and the two soon became intoxicated.

In a drunken stupor, everything that should have happened, and everything that shouldn't have happened, happened.

Everything went as Song Qingyan wished.

Song Qingyan woke up first, and then knelt down in front of the bed.

Xie Yuqi opened his eyes and saw Song Qingyan kneeling in front of the bed.

Memories of last night flooded back.

He took Song Qingyan!

At first, he was drunk, but later he regained his senses.

"What are you doing?" Xie Yuqi got up and dressed.

Song Qingyan looked terrified. "Your Majesty, I know I'm guilty. I shouldn't have drunk with you. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will keep my mouth shut about what happened last night and pretend nothing happened."

She referred to herself as "your humble wife".

Before last night, she had always referred to herself as "your humble servant" in front of him.

A cold smile appeared in Xie Yuqi's eyes.

After one night, she remembered that she had been married.

At this moment, she referred to herself as "your subject's wife" to deliberately remind him that she was a married woman.

Xie Yuqi is not a fool.

All of Song Qingyan's little schemes were no match for him.

Xie Yuqi walked up to Song Qingyan, lifted her chin, and slowly spoke:

"Your body bears the marks of my handiwork; how can you pretend nothing happened?"
